For Macro Mondays' theme "Defining Beauty" I quote a sentence by Vincent van Gogh
"If you truly love Nature, you will find Beauty everywhere".
Happy Macro Monday
when it goes from I think I can, to I know I CAN!! It's this 9 year old' s first performance, she did awesome! I predict she has a bright future in trick riding!! I love her horse "Rue"....the bond is pretty special between them both. It puts a lump in my throat and brings me back,...... leaving me a bit nostalgic. Her family asked to see this, I hope they like it :)
Calgary Zoo is home to two muskoxen. Their enclosure mimics the tundra and includes fencing (barrier, barbed wire and chain link) designed to protect both animals and guests.

GPW Heavyweight Title Match
Bubblegum © vs. Dirk Feelgood
Just a few months ago you'd be forgiven for taking a double take at this match. The friendship between the two former friends totally imploded with the desire to become Heavyweight champion. Refusing to accept the demise of his friendship with Dirk Feelgood, Bubblegum spent months in turmoil not wanting to retaliate to the cutting comments and brutal attacks levelled his way by former friend and champion Feelgood. As time went by however, Bubblegum eventually unloaded on Feelgood but this will be the first time the two have ever come face to face in a one on one match. And to make things just a little more interesting... it's for the GPW Heavyweight Title. Can the fairytale championship reign continue for Bubblegum, or can Dirk shatter his dreams and become the first ever 2 time Heavyweight Champ?
Tag Team Special, Skeletor vs. Stella
Lethal Dose vs. Voodoo & "Sober" Mike Holmes
Alan Alan Alan Tasker's henchmen, Lethal Dose march into battle against former stable member Mike Holmes and the man they hold responsible for Holmes' new found sobriety - Voodoo. Cyanide and Toxic hope to tempt Holmes back over to the stable that two months ago he turned his back on. They want to snap him out of the spell they accuse Voodoo of putting him under. However, Holmes seems very happy with his new outlook on life and he and Voodoo look to send Lethal Dose packing in this tag team special. Lethal Dose have warned they will not be coming to the ring alone though, with them along with their attorney and law - Alan Alan Alan Tasker will be a 12 pack of Stella. Hoping the case of beer will prove to be a bigger demon to Holmes than the tag team itself. To fend off the 12 pack, Holmes and Voodoo will have Vooodoo's trusty skull, Skeletor in their corner. An unpredictable tag team match. Can MIke Holmes stay sober? Will Voodoo's spells work? Or will Lethal Dose deliver a beating big enough to break Voodoo's spell?
GPW British Title Match
Jak Dominotrescu vs. "Super" Sam Bailey
After pinning the British Champion last month in a tag team match, WKD's "Super" Sam Bailey has earned himself a title shot at GPW: "Christmas Crunch". Bailey, already a former tag team champion looks to add to his growing reputation by capturing his first ever singles gold in GPW. While reigning champion, Romanian Jak Domitrescu along with his cohorts - The Eastern Bloc look to make life as difficult as possible for the energetic live wire. Domitrescu has held onto the title since April this year with help from his fellow countrymen, but are his days numbered as champ? He surely wont be alone in this title outing and will have the Eastern Bloc close by, but can "Super" Sam Bailey overcome the odds to win his first singles gold in GPW?
And, the main event for the evening is...
GPW Tag Team Title 2/3 Falls Match
MIl-Anfield Connection © vs. Young Offenders
The heat just got turned up in this feud. The re-united Young Offenders have the most established tag team in GPW - The Mil-Anfield Connection firmly in their sights and not to mention the tag team trophy. These two teams met in September this year where there was no clear winner decided after the match ended in a draw. There will be NO excuses this time to not find a winner. This, for the first time in our history will be a 2/3 Falls Match for the tag team titles. A winner HAS to be decided, but who will it be? A truley epic encounter is in our midst as Jiggy Walker & "The Model" Danny Hope try to cling onto the championship that has defined them as a team and "Dangerous" Damon Leigh & Joey Hayes, The Young Offenders chase the title that one of the most popular tag teams in Europe have never held. Can the re-united friends overcome the well established unit that is The Mil-Anfield Connection? Or can the well oiled duo of the Mil-Anfield do what they've been doing all year and win again?
GPW British Title No.1 Contenders Match
Harry Doogle vs. Juice vs. Dylan Roberts vs. Chris Echo
After an eye catchingly good year from rookie Dylan Roberts, he has been included in this battle to earn a shot at the British Title. With a burning desire to win and the fans firmly behind him, Roberts could well mark his arrival onto the main roster by becoming the No.1 Contender and going for gold here. However, his opponents wont give him an easy ride. In a wonderful CC-08 tournament, no one impressed more than WKD's Chris Echo. Echo reached the CC-08 finals with two broken wrists and proved he is ready to take a step up. His previous attempts for British gold have been thwarted by the foreign legion numbers of the Eastern Bloc, is he ready to prove again that he is worthy of being No.1 Contender and finally lift the British title? Juice, the current CC8 champion has been as impressive as ever in singles competition this year, but can he compete in this match with 3 others all vying to be No.1 Contender? Also replacing Jervis Cottonbelly due to injury is Harry Doogle as a last minute entry could one half of the next gen score the upset win? , but with so many possible outcomes who will leave with the plaudits and go on to challenge for the British Title next year?
Lumberjack Match
Si Valour vs. Heresy
A violent and personal feud that has lasted all year long finally comes to a head in what promises to be a violent Lumberjack Match. Ever since brutalising Valour and cutting off all his hair, Heresy has, in some form or other dodged the challenge of Valour. Heresy claimed not to have lost his bottle or be running scared of the 2007 Break Out Star, yet during their Bull Rope clash at GPW: "V" where the two were tied to one another, Heresy still managed to find a way of escaping and creating distance between him and Valour. This time, in a special Lumberjack Match, no matter where either man go - there will be no escape. All lumberjacks will be at the ready to ensure neither man can escape the others clutches and a clear winner, one way or the other will HAVE to be decided. There will be nowhere to run to and nowhere to hide, no matter where they look. Heresy has been one step ahead of Valour all year, is this where he runs out of excuses, or can the master manipulator manipulate another win?
"I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains." - Anne Frank
I chose this photo to represent this quote as I feel the dew drops depict her tears - and the web, her captivity. However, looking at the web today, you see the beauty in its intricacies and the tears have turned to gems.
"I define nothing. Not beauty, not patriotism. I take each thing as it is, without prior rules about what it should be."

For me, more than pumpkin spice or Halloween decorations, it’s scenes like this that really define October for me. Warm colors, cool temperatures. A time of transition as summer passes the baton to winter.
Perhaps this child will change the world of her culture for future generations. When I took the photo, I did not notice the look of defiance on her face - clearly not happy to be part of the tourism circus/exploitation. Though I had read articles about the plight of these people (all Hill Tribe cultures), I did not fully realize until I was there how true it was
Cro-Mags defined New York hardcore’s crossover era, fusing the raw speed of punk with the power of metal. At the center was Harley Flanagan—playing clubs by age 11, raised in the East Village punk scene, and living in squats before most kids hit high school. Their landmark album The Age of Quarrel captured that energy: street-born, brutally tight, and driven by a mix of survival instinct and spiritual fire. A soundtrack for chaos with purpose.

Like delicate lace,
So the threads intertwine,
Oh, gossamer web
Of wond'rous design!
Such beauty and grace
Wild nature produces...
Ughh, look at the spider
Suck out that bug's juices!

We went to the RA on Friday with architect friends to see the exhibition Sensing Spaces. Great exhibition, and fun - we hope to take Elsie.
Subtle astral colors...are hidden in everything around you. Could you but see, you would be amazed at their beauty.
Paramahansa Yogananda
This is a small section of dried seaweed I have had for years.
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies,
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meets in her aspect and her eyes,
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
Lord Byron
Byron's poem is said to have been inspired by the sight of a woman in a black mourning dress with dark spangles contrasting with the soft evening light. I have tried to create a feel of the poem with some black sequins, a piece of black lace and a black feather
The Sparta Electric building, constructed circa 1917 of Crab Orchard stone, is an example of functional architecture with no definable architectural style. This building faces north on South Main Street in the heart of an early twentieth century residential area several blocks from Downtown Sparta, Tennessee. This building is significant for its association with the development of hydroelectric power, before the establishment of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), in the city of Sparta. The building is a significant example of the local office/distribution centers that were developed in small towns during the early twentieth century. It is a significant intact property associated with the "Pre-TVA Hydro-Electric Power Development in Tennessee, 1901-1933" historic context statement developed by the Tennessee Historical Commission. The Sparta Electric Building is also significant for its contributions to local commerce, as it represents a change in the business of trading, services, and commodities, and the gradual introduction of electricity into everyday human existence during the early twentieth century in Tennessee.
Because of the significance held by this building, the Sparta Electric Building was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on March 25, 1993. All of the information above, and more, was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration and can be viewed here:
