I got to spend a full day with my friend Big Jay while in Montana. I had read about a Mission in St. Ignatius,MT and wanted to go tour it . Fortunately he was game. While in St. Ignatius we spotted this Barn and pulled over to shoot it.

Busy photographing it a young man drove up to the gate and unlocked it to let himself out. Big Jay asked if we could come around the gate to shoot the barn a bit. The young man was very sympathetic. He said he was a painter and was doing an acrylic of the Barn himself. He said he comes out to this very yard with his easel and paints. Wouldn't I love a photo of that! I also wish I could paint like that. He left the gate open and told us to take our time, and have fun. We stayed about 30 minutes walking through many of the fields getting different angles and views of the barn. I liked this view with all the wildflowers growing over the fences.

The woman who lived here had an exceptional garden at one time. She had several fruit trees and a very large veggie patch. Now the trees are knobby, broken, and covered in moss. Her veggie patch can no longer be seen, only the side gate barely shows itself through the billowing piles of blackberry brambles.

This year I hope to make large batches of canned foods. Like canning green beans, tomatoes, so many batches of jam. Yum. This year will be better.

"If you hold your dreams too tightly, you'll crush their little ribs," was the message scrawled on the wall of a public restroom I visited today. I immediately recognized that as excellent advice for you. While I'm usually all in favor of cultivating a ferocious devotion towards one's goals and desires, I've noticed lately that your grasp on yours has turned into a manic clench. Please let them breathe better. Give them some slack. Maybe tell yourself a joke about how funny you look applying that death-grip.

I don't support or condone the vandalism or any illegal activity relating to such, whether it be to private, commercial, or public property, I simply display graffiti as an art form.

I really love this song.....and it can be interpretated many ways.

For myself, I find that I am my own worst enemy. I have a hard time forgiving myself of things in my past....or even though I may have forgiven somebody else for things done to me....there is a scar that remains. Sometimes I feel like the"old" me has a grip on the "present" me...and I just want her to LET GO, so that I don't lost myself.

"Let Go" - RED

Hey you, look what you do to me

You bend and you bruise me

Why you try to control me?

But you don't know me

How come you just want to hurt me?

How come you just want to push me?

I can't ignore you anymore

Cause everywhere I turn you

You burn me, you break me

You always want to take me down with you

What do you want from me?

Just let go! Let go! Let go!

**I used two textures, one each from

Haeretik and Ghostbones.

Thank you both for sharing these great textures!!!

***Listen to the song here!

Fooling around with the Instagram app on my Android phone. I'm in the final weeks of my job, squeezed out as a result of an acquisition by a much larger company and am now training others to do my work. They assume they can accomplish the job much cheaper at their HQ site. So far I've trained approximately 12 different people on different aspects of my position, with more to go....

I have this sign in my day planner: "This is Your Life. Do What you Love and do it often. If you don't like something change it. If you don't like your job, quit." So that's what I'm doing ! just 16 days to go.... Then I will take some time off to define what my encore role will be.

pro Stef *-*

espero que goste xD

foi meio que inspirada em uma blend da Liih que eu amo *-*
