A photo collage by Doctress Neutopia is made from a digital scan of Wayne's Sumstine's heart. The Earth heart within the toroidal field is inspired by the rainbow light of love.
Taken to tick the box in this months Scavenger Hunt.
I quite like the way I have managed to capture the light dance in this HDR image.

Yesterday on the radio I heard an horrific story of the events that happened to a Congolese woman in her home country of Congo. Afraid to spend the night in their village, they spent the night in the jungle. One night her village was captured by rebel (former Rwandan) soldiers. The soldiers asked all those related to the village chief to step forward. Over 20 people were then bayonetted. The woman watched 2 of her children killed in front of her. Her baby was taken from her back and she was made to hang it to death, her own baby! She was raped by 19 soldiers, beaten and kept naked for a month. The soldiers wanted her brother the rape her. He refused, saying if he did he would die, if not he would die anyway. They beheaded him.
From 50 villagers the 3 that were still alive were put to work digging the ground for cabbages. She overheard one of the soldiers explaining that they were actually digging their own graves. Although barely able to walk she was sent to get water from a stream. One of the soldiers thought she was so injured that she would die anyway so her let her walk off down a different path. She barely survived.
None of us can begin to understand her experience or her pain, she survives to look after one of her children who was not captured, and one of her brothers' children.
I cannot comprehend how one human can do these things to another. The pettyness of normal life does not begin to register in comparison to this evil. You can convince yourself that this is proof if it were needed that there is no God, for how could a loving God allow this to happen. It is Occams razor, the simplest solution is the correct one. And yet at the moment I contemplated this I really needed to believe that there was something good in the world. These are the times when we need there to be a God the most. It is what keeps us holding on to hope. We need, I need there to be an inner light.
In the words of a recent Marillion song, "If you don't believe in love, you'd have to make it up"

tow swans wite as snow
have found their in the expanse of the sea
so they are going their way together
through the up and off from the tide
and in moments of their same sounds
they are dance their dance of the dances
The morning light coming from behind and through these flowers was too hard to resist. I used Kim's Luminous and 123 textures
Outside it was raining... just look at the grey background. Sitting in my office I suddenly noticed the wonderful sunny colors of these little flowers in my vase... Just had to take the camera out!
Old school... or former shoolhouse. This house was build in 1847 and used as
a school until the 1960's
When I was on my way to the vinyard I passed a fence with poison ivy growing all over... and full of busy wasps trying to get some of the last nectar. Unfortunately the pics with the whole bunch of them didn't turn out focused enough.
