Merci ☼☼☼

This is another photo from my stroll through the foggy forest around where I live. I took this in a rather dark part of the forest where only conifers tress grows. Therefore, the light almost completely came from the lighter parts of the forest where it got diffused by the mist. This gave the whole scene a wonderful elvish feel.

BLOG POSTS returning in 2 weeks!

So when I said I was on the mend (like weeks ago) I apparently had no idea what I was talking about. It's alright though, I'm *actually* getting better this time around, and the timing is good since there's family visiting, which helps in taking care of things. By the time the next few weeks have passed I should be tossing posts up again with regularity.

I have the next few weeks off from blogging still, but if we're honest, I will probably end up doing a picture or two anyway at some point just because there's so much beautiful stuff coming out or that I've recently missed. We'll see.

In the meantime, here's a portrait I promised a friend, that took far too long for me to get to since I fell ill for a while there. I wish it was better too, but being sick on my back for two months or so means I was also two months without any practice, so I'm just not up to snuff again yet. She seems to like it though, and I don't mind the end result, so here it is.

Lilymunsters as Liliana Celeésonel, star elf and the younger (adopted) sister of my own moon elf, Senia. I've dubbed her the Ela'nadrii of the Stars. It's a nonsensical word that's meant to sound suitably nonsensically elvish and lovely at the same time. I dig it. lol <3

Elf Queen Reverie

~Ana Maria Alma Delafuente~

Sweet perfume rises from the earth

as I tread under foot

needles of fragrant pine.

I belong to the woods,

and the woods belong to me.

When each busy day

begins to overwhelm me

with the weight of too much work,

I escape to where trees live,

and it feels like coming home.

I breathe the forest in

to the rejuvenation of my weary soul,

and like a child at play,

I skip and twirl

to the music of sunshine

peering through the branches of trees

dancing in the gentle breeze.

Betrayer or Betrayed?

-RunningInPlace-

A hunch, a hunch,

Of lies.

A call, a call,

To find out the truth.

Who to trust?

Surely not you.

After all,

You've lied to me Before.

But only because

You felt you had to.

I know you felt alone.

I know you feel that way

Now.

But I won't let you

Drag a loved one

Down with you.

If it was me,

I wouldn't question-

But I won't let you

Take him with you.

He is innocent,

A sweet soul,

Trying to help another

In need.

But are you in need?

Therein lies the question.

Truth?

Or lies?

Pain?

Or fabrication?

Betrayed?

Or betrayer?

I trust you with my life.

But do I trust you with your own?

If I am wrong,

I am the betrayer,

For having doubted you

At all.

But if I am right...

If I am right,

I am the

Betrayed.

I sailed in my dreams to the Land of Night

Where you were the dusk-eyed queen,

And there in the pallor of moon-veiled light

The loveliest things were seen ...

I've been very happily involved with photographing and Flickr-blogging for the Enchantment: Lord of the Rings event this past February and seem to have found myself turning to all things elvish. I've always loved the elves of LOTR ~ they're so beautiful, mystical, noble, and so wonderfully TALL. My typist is not so wonderfully tall, however, so I guess that's *one* of the many reasons I'm drawn to them.

Pictured here are three of my bento heads. I've found, as with Strawberry, that I no longer to have a "go-to look" that I can say definitively is "ME" as with back in the old days, because I change how I look all the time, sometimes three or more times a day! I love finding just the right bento mesh head to go with whichever ensemble I'm photographing to showcase the outfit at its best. It's both challenging and fun - and so gratifying when I get it right.

In any case, some of my latest and favorite bento mesh heads from left to right: LeLutka Vera Bento Head, second, Catwa Blueberry Bento Head, and third, the GENUS Babyface Bento Head. These are by no means, ALL of my bento mesh heads, or all of my favorites...these are simply some that I particularly love to wear, but you'll notice on my Flickr page, I wear LOTS of different heads!

Valinor

-Kevin Michael Anderson-

There is a land, so great and fair

wrapped in secrets that none can dare,

But past the fog and mighty waves

grows things that forever stays.

Their lights gleam by through skies,

Their moon is where it rests and dies.

Concealed in mountains; A majestic sight,

from Taniquetil, and Ilmarin, of white and crisp Night!

There summer greens grow wildly

and a tune is wove so merrily

that fountains scream with delight and gloom

and flowers bloom from August through June!

Their the frost is mere sweet delight!

and warmth is a endless sensational flight!

Their towers and cities are built great;

And the Eldar whom live in them live an Undying Fate!

There the lights play as a musical,

high strung with life so ethical!

There a kingdom is wrought, in the West,

which are homes to Gods, their temporary 'Nest',

There the Valar live, in Valinor,

which contains the Elder Days, and all other Day's lore,

there, lies a heavenly world

that feels sent from Heaven hurled,

down to Earth, as a flash of Hope

in Valinor, where the Ends are smoke,

In Valinor, where the Garden sleeps,

in Valinor, where only Nienna weeps,

In Valinor, where the Dead rest,

In Valinor, where lies the Crest

of the designs of Illuvutar,

In Valinor, to the West, Afar...

The Splendor Falls

~Alfred Lord Tennyson~

The splendor falls on castle walls

And snowy summits old in story;

The long light shakes across the lakes,

And the wild cataract leaps in glory.

Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying,

Blow, bugle; answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying.

O, hark, O, hear! how thin and clear,

And thinner, clearer, farther going!

O, sweet and far from cliff and scar

The horns of Elfland faintly blowing!

Blow, let us hear the purple glens replying,

Blow, bugles; answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying.

O love, they die in yon rich sky,

They faint on hill or field or river;

Our echoes roll from soul to soul,

And grow forever and forever.

Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying,

And answer, echoes, answer, dying, dying, dying.

Grana - Elvish Town in Black Desert Online

The Fairlands are like this: one day you walk through a beautiful place... and you find its creator!

Yesterday I was lucky enough to run into Elicio Ember, the creator of one of the most wonderful elven-inspired creations. elvish? Well, I wouldn't know how to describe something so ethereal, majestic as well as fragile and with a certain organic framework flooding everything.

I asked Elicio about his inspiration when creating this amazing environment....
