Ciao a tutti,
vi saluto con gli splendidi versi di Erri De Luca
Elogio dei piedi
Perché reggono l'intero peso.
Perché sanno tenersi su appoggi e appigli minimi.
Perché sanno correre sugli scogli e neanche i cavalli lo sanno fare.
Perché portano via.
Perché sono la parte più prigioniera di un corpo incarcerato. E chi esce dopo molti anni deve imparare di nuovo a camminare in linea retta.
Perché sanno saltare, e non è colpa loro se più in alto nello scheletro non ci sono ali.
Perché sanno piantarsi nel mezzo delle strade come muli e fare una siepe davanti al cancello di una fabbrica.
Perché sanno giocare con la palla e sanno nuotare.
Perché per qualche popolo pratico erano unità di misura.
Perché quelli di donna facevano friggere i versi di Pushkin.
Perché gli antichi li amavano e per prima cura di ospitalità li lavavano al viandante.
Perché sanno pregare dondolandosi davanti a un muro o ripiegati indietro da un inginocchiatoio.
Perché mai capirò come fanno a correre contando su un appoggio solo.
Perché sono allegri e sanno ballare il meraviglioso tango, il croccante tip-tap, la ruffiana tarantella.
Perché non sanno accusare e non impugnano armi.
Perché sono stati crocefissi.
Perché anche quando si vorrebbe assestarli nel sedere di qualcuno, viene scrupolo che il bersaglio non meriti l'appoggio.
Perché, come le capre, amano il sale.
Perché non hanno fretta di nascere, però poi quando arriva il punto di morire scalciano in nome del corpo contro la morte.
(Erri De Luca)
Day two of my road trip across Utah- Took an evening hike up to Delicate Arch. Love love love this place! One of the more beautiful spots on the planet that I've been to. I like that there is a kid in the middle of the arch, as it gives more of a sense of the immense size of the arch. I'm so proud of myself for making it up there and then walking around the ridge to touch the arch as I'm terrified of heights!

Two more from the shoot with this beautiful young girl. Loved so many images from this shoot that the past few days i have been wondering which ones to post and which ones to leave out. You might see a couple more from this shoot which i may not be able to resist sharing with you! :)
I couldn't say that I'd lived in Australia for a year without having tried my hand at surfing so, about a month after I moved to the country, a group of new friends and I booked onto a weekend that took us six hours or so up the East Coast to this remote beach to give the sport a try.
We were just about the only other people that set foot on the amusingly named "Delicate Nobby Beach" that weekend and certainly the only ones insane enough to go in the water. But, when it looked this beautiful, us non-Australians were desperate to get into the brilliantly blue ocean, regardless of whether we were lucky enough to have nabbed a wetsuit or not.
Australia's coastline is encrusted with countless numbers of beautiful beaches and bays and strips of sand but this is definitely one that will stick in my mind after I leave here, due to both how deserted it was and how beautiful.

The delicate 'bract' of the bougainvilea. A bract is a modified or specialized leaf.
Ah the things we learn through photography. :-)

From the Balloon. An interesting, to me, view of the the area east of delicate arch.
Including the rock wall that falls away as the area under it undercuts it.
Isn't she delicate? She looks always so fragile. <3 She's the most girly girl of all of my girls lol.
This one was done as follows:
In Photoshop CS2, I made 4 copies of the original. Then I turned them all off. Starting from the first copy at the bottom (making each visible as I worked on them),
1) inverted + gaussian blur + color dodge blend
2) desaturated + embossed with hard light blend
3) just changed the blend to hard light
4) changed to "color" blend mode at about 65% opacity. (that's the uppermost layer).

A single delicate snowflake. How many has it taken to accumulate a depth of 7 inches (17.78 cm) which have fallen in the last 48 hours?
This is a VINTAGE Japanese Houmongi. Houmongi are semi-formal kimono that can be worn by both married and unmarried women. They are characterized by artfully arranged patterns that flow seamlessly across the garment's seams. This kimono displays a delicate pattern of peonies and chrysnathemums on a deep blue background This kimono likely originates in the mid to late Showa Period (1926 - 1989).
I have inspected this kimono in detail, there is a little bit of damage; some slight marks on the exterior and some patina on the white blossoms. There are also a few spots where the dye has bled a little bit, but this likely occurred during the dying process. Overall, I would rate this kimono in good vintage condition. This garment is 100% silk.
MEASUREMENTS:
Length: 159cm
Arm Span: 126cm
Width Across Back: 60cm
Total Width of Skirt: 130cm
Sleeve Drop: 49cm
SIZING
If you are unsure of how to interpret the kimono's size it is important to know that the length (collar - hem) should be approximately 10cm longer to 10cm shorter than the wearer's overall height (longer is better). This is because the excess length will be folded up at the waist. Meanwhile, the skirt should wrap around the hips a full 1.5 times. The armspan should also reach wrist to wrist on the wearer. In this case, the kimono will ideally fit a woman about 149cm (4'11") - 169cm (5'7") tall, with hips about 87cm (34") around. There is some give and take in these measurements though.

Thank you all for visits, comments and suggestions. Have a wonderful week ahead every one!
On a recent trip to Arizona and Utah I was finally able to visit Delicate Arch that had eluded me during my previous trips to Arches NP due to time constraints. It is well worth the 1.5 mile hike to see it, not to mention the various stops to play around and climb the other sand sculptures along the way.
