Visited Toronto for the weekend, and our first stop was the Toronto Islands. I asked him about the instrument quite a few times and he said it was an 'Erhu', and it's sort of the Chinese Violin.
I was fascinated at how quickly new life emerges out of the burnt, devastated, still smoking lava flows of the Kilauea Crater in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. It is so amazing on this planet that no matter how harsh and nasty of an environment may exist, there's something that lives there. Take New Jersey for example.
Life goes on and while Haiti experiences apocalyptic tragedies here we have the closing of another bright and beautiful day with Sumo posing for me on a post as he used to do on his own, but has not in a long time. He is so smart in knowing how to take advantage of his size. Meanwhile Haiti is in my heart and on my mind and will not be forgotten. But the discrepancies, the yin and the yang, are a challenge to embrace.

Something has came over me and for some reason I have been inspired to create some pretty 'dark' images. Maybe it's all the crappy horror movies i've been watching recently.
I'm not too sure about this one, it was one of those photos you spend so long on that nothing about it seems to look right, and not quite how you want it, but you're not even sure about how you actually want it too look. Comments will be much appreciated for this one :)

I am so so so in love with college! My goodness :)
I have been thinking about the afterlife quite a lot lately, after having lost someone very close to me. That day, I just stared off into the world around me, and began to realize this intense silence, normally cluttered with noise of both thought and physical environment. It was in this oddly calming silence that I began to see even deeper into the beauty of my surroundings.
Perhaps when our loved ones pass away, they stay right here - in every cloud, every autumn leaf, and every breath of wind. It's them we see, glowing in every blood red summer sunset, flowing through the veins of our atmosphere, filling them with beauty. They sit within each snowflake, being carried safely from the winter sky, unique just as we all are. With every wave swept in from the sea, they're attempting to grab the hand of someone they loved. There they are, sharing with you their world - the immeasurable beauty, which they always wanted to share while alive, but could never express through words, nor photograph. Their imagination, their entire mind displayed brilliantly before your very eyes. They now have this incredible ability to show you the world as they had always seen it. Maybe this is why we become more aware and appreciative of our surroundings as we grow older, and more familiar with the ways of life. Maybe this is them wanting us to be happy, reminding us that this life is beautiful.
I really want everyone to remember this, and think about it every now and then in life.
