IPad drawing June 2016
A daily record of a woodland that I've been familiar with for 34 years. It is good to record these places in a very personal way come rain or shine. I like to see the place without making anything picturesque, rather setting down what's before me at different times of day and not overworking each piece, keeping it spontaneous and fresh. Inspired by Charles Burchfield and Emily Carr among others. In some ways a pendant to my Simon's wood series and to be part of my Looking Out exhibition.

I really didn’t feel like taking a selfie today.
I really didn’t.
But I did, all the same.
All I just wanted to do was lie down and stare at the ceiling.
Do you ever get that feeling?
The feeling where you just want to be anywhere but here, but you don’t exactly want to leave this place either. The feeling where you are just willing to let your mind dance out of the window and into the distance where it spies on everyone out there.
There’s the neighbour walking her dog. There’re the children chasing about. There’s the maid and the foreign worker, meeting in secret whilst she takes the children out.
As the activities of the late afternoon die down and everyone goes home, so the sun will set on my wandering mind. But still, here I will lie and let the daydreaming switch to its nocturnal cousin as the sky slowly darkens.

Peter Gabriel’s version of Flume on repeat was what probably caused this mood.
I thought I'd try something really fun today......
No, this was not taken from my bedroom window....... I found this great free window frame png file online and decided to have a play with it, so framed these gorgeous bright red berries (hawthorn, thanks to Worthing Wanderer for the ID) that I photographed while out for a walk last Saturday afternoon :)
Have a great Saturday everyone, hope you all have a chance to get out snapping :)
thank you for viewing :)
has anyone else seen that musical?? we had it on vhs when i was little, the version with bernadette peters. eh. pick. right, i'm totally in the library on campus right now being productive, editing photos and reading other people's short stories. this is the life! my friday nights are so rockin' now, no one can keep up with me!
today's mass amounts of wind threw me off balance today (pun not intended, though often i do intend my puns, and have not infrequently been almost blown over by gusts of wind); i was almost run down by several people biking on the trails. the wind made it impossible to hear them coming, but i'm pretty sure no one saw anything funny. and by funny i mean me.
though the first set of bikers definitely saw me placing cement blocks back into the stream bed. oh yeah, getting more creative for tripod options these days!
do the L dance! L L L L!

Every town has a Kafka-esque neighborhood. DeLand's is centered on Georgia Street. Narrative is something we impose upon the world; the whole is greater than the parts.
Colorful spring view of one of Alaska's most popular scenic adventures. This spectacular retreating glacier is located 10 miles northwest of Juneau in southeast Alaska. Its massive ice-blue sheer vertical cliffs are an awesome sight - when you realize the eroding face is formed of ice many centuries old and the entire glacier covers more than 25 square miles and is one of the few glaciers in the world accessible by car.

Look out my window and what do I see
A crack in the sky
And a hand reaching down to me
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though they're

Normally I do crop to the rule of thirds since you can crop things to the rule of thirds in photoshop. So for today's theme for ODC I tried sticking with the Godlen Spiral. (as you could probably tell the first photo on that site was the inspiration for this photo.)
This is for the Our Daily Challenge Group
Today's theme is "Golden Rules"
