One specific bud on this lilac was the point of focus; a purple ornament against a backdrop of green.
I took this from Garrison, a hamlet across the river from West Point. The Army vs. Ball State football game could be heard throughout the entire area.

Today, grandson, Joshua, and I went to the Pt. Loma lighthouse and preserve. We had such a wonderful time, and enjoyed a picnic lunch while looking at and listening to the waves crash on the shore.
The Old Point Loma Lighthouse stood watch over the entrance to San Diego Bay for 36 years. At dusk on November 15, 1855, the light keeper climbed the winding stairs and lit the light for the first time. What seemed to be a good location 422 feet above sea level, however, had a serious flaw. Fog and low clouds often obscured the light. On March 23, 1891, the light was extinguished and the keeper moved to a new lighthouse location closer to the water at the tip of the Point.
Lee Point is a northern suburb of the city of Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia.
The suburb name is derived from the point "Lee Point" which appears on Goyder’s 1869 Plan of Port Darwin and probably dates back to Stokes’ examination of the harbour in 1839. A short distance from the beach's carpark, one can find a well preserved bunker used during World War II along the cycle path, which runs from Lee Point to Brinkin.

Oneohtrix Point Never's richly complex audio landscapes demand attentive listening, but luckily give the listener no other choice than to be drawn in completely and experience the journey.A beautiful trip through intimate fields of sound filled with noise, synths, melodies, strange rhythms and beautiful vocal samples. Daniel Lopatin has proven himself a true craftsman in his field of ambient music by staying clear of the conventions and creating his own personal, very emotional sound. His new album 'R Plus Seven' will be released only a couple of days after his show at TodaysArt on Warp Records.
Dead Horse Point State Park is a state park of Utah in the United States, featuring a dramatic overlook of the Colorado River and Canyonlands National Park. The park is so named because of stories of ancient hunters, resting along the cliff tops while knapping chert in preparation for the next hunt, and cowboys of the late 1800’s, chasing wild mustangs onto Dead Horse Point, using the narrow neck to block off the natural corral

I believe this is a Honey Locust tree, but I could be, and frequently am, incorrect.
During my walk through Stuart Park, this past weekend, I saw this tree with it's enormous clumps of spikes. It was a bit down a small slope, on the dam wall of a small pond. Having earlier picked up a handy walking stick, in the form of a small but straight dead branch, I felt safe enough to venture down the slope to get a closer (but not too swift or too close) look. I can't imagine the damage that these thorns would do if I slipped and butted any part of me into them. Ouch!
I grew up on land that is very similar to that in Stuart Park. We had 15 acres or so which included woods, a pond, a creek, and lots of grass to mow, driveway to shovel, and an orchard full of fruit trees to tend to. I recall trees just like this in the woods. Scary and not worth trying to climb. I don't recall ever having a run-in with these during my wild youth. One article I scanned while trying to identify the tree spoke of the author harvesting the clumps of thorns and using them for fishing spears.
Me, I just am intrigued by their odd placement by nature.
In this composition, I was imagining the large branches of the tree stretching towards the pond, or the horizon, pointing out some danger while protecting itself, the messenger. I have an active imagination.
I made it safely back up the small slope, after a small slip, saved by my leaning forward and the steady assist of the walking stick-branch. I figured that if I leaned forward, I wouldn't mind falling away from those spikes near as much as I would, had I fallen backwards into them.

Welcoming 2010 with Nagsasa Cove along with my friends Mon, Weng, Arvhin, Jar, Jieson, Randy, Cherry,Hazel,Kristen and Che. Two days and one night of camping in this wonderful place. It feels so good to be back shooting landscape.
Nagsasa Cove is twice the distance of Anawangin Cove from the shores of Pundaquit Zambales. The place is inhabited but occasional Aetas who travel around and will be willing to accompany you if ever you decide to trek the hills and forests behind the cove or nearby mountains.
Streams and waterfalls run water down from the mountains and will sometimes be a better place to hang out as the water can be cooler compared to the water from the beach. But they dry out during the hot summer and dry seasons.
