"Be an angel to someone else whenever you can, as a way of thanking God for the help your angel has given you."
~The Angels' Little Instruction Book by Eileen Elias Freeman.

I went into the woods the other day without a single idea on what to take - a pet peeve of mine. However I began imagining this based on the horrible events which have happened up in Connecticut this past week.
When I heard, it felt as though my hard had stop. All those children - the teachers and staff. Why? Why would someone choose to act out of such evil?
But all of us, sitting with tears, watching the town recover from such monstrosity - we, together, can carry out so much good. It the time where we must become angels so that we may help heal what our fellow kind has fallen too - guide them from this darkness.
I thank my own angel for placing light within me for this idea.

Tiny flower known as Chicory. I have been chasing macros of this flower for many years. I find it to be unique, similar only to the Himalayan Blue Poppy, yet only one fifth its size. This scene is approx 4:1 macro. The area visible is less than one inch across. Most would walk past it without noticing, but it has a fascinating history.
The Blue Flower (German: Blaue Blume) is a central symbol of Romanticism. It stands for desire, love, and the metaphysical striving for the infinite and unreachable.
"Notre culture a fait une vertu de ne vivre que comme des extravertis. Nous avons découragé le voyage intérieur, la quête d'un centre. Nous avons ainsi perdu notre centre et devons le retrouver."

"Our culture made a virtue of living only as extroverts. We discouraged the inner journey, the quest for a center. So we lost our center and have to find it again."
Cit. Anaïs Nin

The inner-life of a keyhole that is broken out from an old wooden cupboard, still needs fixing (first I have to somehow connect to the door, not sure if I will do that with nails. This is how it came, there is a key and a hole in the door and the door can be pushed close, yet not be locked so this is another of my projects. The pin is part of the mechanism, not part of a key - the key itself has the matching hole for the pin. I think the cupboard (and this hole) is approx 100 years old.
This week the inspo from the Inner Circle is to create gift tags in Photoshop and print them to use in a still life, on the wall moodboard or gift them to a friend or family.

The extremely tiny fuzzy center caught my eye. Very shallow DOF...Depth Of Flower. :) Shot wide open for fun.
Today was a good day! Me and my best friend James are going out later to have a Yay-Rosie-is-finally-going-to-America-to-see-Aaron meal! I am hopefully going to drop philosophy after half term, and I may even be allowed to take portraits of people at school and friendship groups and sell them to fund my move to america next year! Being an international student means its illegal to work there, and I don't fancy making Aaron do all the work for us both/starving, so I'm trying to save as much as I can before I go.
This shot was really frustrating to do! I am STILL not used to my lights but I'm trying. It seemed impossible for me to take a photo where my shadow fitted onto the wall, I did not look obese and that most of my body wasn't blocking!
These were the best ones that came out, so I hope you guys like it.
1 DAY UNTIL I GO SEE MY AARON!!!! I am soooo excited!! I just hope I don't get too carried away and end up in mexico!
Leafy stock :)
Scenes like this one inspire a deep (and sometimes much needed!) sense of quiet and peace within me. The Smokies seem to have that effect on me perhaps more than any place I've traveled to. No matter how many times I go back, I seem to stumble upon images like this that just draw me in.
This view is from one of my favorite spots to see sunsets in the Smokies: Bunches Bald Overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway (about 9.6 miles east of the intersection of 441 and the Blue Ridge Parkway).
Have a great holiday season,
Jeff
