"Be an angel to someone else whenever you can, as a way of thanking God for the help your angel has given you."

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.

Today I am sharing some beautiful reflective beauty from my hike yesterday in the Henry M Jackson Wilderness Area.

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.

Cosmos bipinnatus, commonly called the garden cosmos, Mexican asteror cosmea, is a medium-sized flowering herbaceous plant in the daisy family Asteraceae, native to the Americas. The species and its varieties and cultivars are popular as ornamental plants in temperate climate gardens. Cosmos bipinnatus is an annual that is often considered half-hardy, although plants may reappear via self-sowing for several years. The plant height varies from 0.61–1.83–2.74 m. The cultivated varieties appear in shades of pink and purple as well as white. The branched stem is usually densely to occasionally occupied by fine, split up, rough trichomes, but some specimens are completely hairless. The petiole itself is inconspicuous, winged, 10 (rarely to 15) mm long, and sometimes the leaves are almost sessile. The very conspicuous cup-shaped inflorescences have a diameter of usually 5–7 cm and contain tongue and tubular flowers, which are surrounded by bracts. There are usually 8 outer bracts, and they are ovate to lanceolate-tail-shaped, 7-15 mm long, 3-5 mm wide. The inner bracts are ovate-lanceolate and 8-12 mm long. They are translucent with many black stripes and a clear edge up to 1 mm wide, sometimes with yellowish or pink pigments, the tip is ciliate. The sprout leaves have gold-yellow, thread-like tips and protrude between the tubular flowers. The broadened base of these spreader leaves is translucent, with a yellow line. The mostly eight ray florets are pink to violet or white colored, at the base may show noticeable stains caused by anthocyanin. The tongues are reversely ovate shaped, have a length of usually 20-35 mm and a width of usually 12-20 mm. The tips are almost dull and have three broad, wavy teeth. Below that, they are greatly rejuvenated. In the center of the flower baskets is a large number of tubular flowers (also called disc florets), whose overgrown petals are yellow, turn white in the lower part and reach a length of 5-6 mm. The anthers are brownish-black and about 3 mm long, at the tips are short-triangular, translucent attachments with a length of 0.5-0.8 mm. The branches of the stylus are short and rather dull, with a length of 0.5 mm.
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.
Inward light, Light of God, Light of Christ, Christ within, That of God, Spirit of God within us, Light within, and inner light are related phrases commonly used as metaphors for Christ's light shining on or in them. I believe that art has the power to transcend language and connect with viewers on a profound level. Through Inner Light, I hope to inspire contemplation, evoke emotion, and spark a dialogue about the nature of our existence.
"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."

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

There are two Disney Store Limited Edition Brave items that were first noticed on the US Disney Store website on May 14, 2012, but were not part of the new arrivals group. In fact, when they were first noticed (by browsing on keyword 'brave') they were both already sold out. By next day, they were already not searchable by keyword (but the pages were still viewable via a direct link or product code). I wonder whether these were actually for sale at some earlier date, or are merely placeholders for a future release.
The items and web links to them are as follows:
Limited Edition Brave Nesting Dolls ($49.50 US)
