I thought this couple well captured the mood of the Minneapolis Pride Parade. It was a great day for everyone.
Ellos están preñados, así en la Tierra como en el Cielo, unidos pero enfrentados a la fría dulzura de un Across the Universe que se aleja lejos y a la tibia extrañeza de un Marte(s) que se acerca denso.
Como dice Rosa: Toda fecundación se realiza en la oscuridad.

They are pregnant, and on Earth and Heaven, united but faced with the cold sweetness of an Across the Universe far and away and the strangeness of a lukewarm TuesdayMar(s) approaching dense.
As Rosa says: Any fertilization takes place in the dark.

...And bam! The shine's off the apple. And that's when you find out that that pretty little girl you married isn't a pretty little girl at all. No, she's a man-eater. And I'm not talking about the "whoa-whoa, here she comes" kind of man-eater. I'm talking about the kind that uses your dignity as a dishtowel to wipe up any shreds of manhood that might be stuck inside the sink.
Of course, I may have tormented her from time to time; but, honest to God, that's what I thought marriage was all about. So much so that, by the end of that relationship, I honestly don't know who I hated more - her or me?
I used to sit around and wonder... why our friends weren't trying to destroy each other, like we were. And here, it turns out, the answer's pretty simple: They weren't unhappy. We were.

Euromaidan (Yevromaidan, literally "Eurosquare") is a wave of demonstrations and civil unrest in Ukraine, which began on the night of 21 November 2013 with public protests demanding closer European integration and culminated in a coup d'etat of the reigning Ukrainian government. The scope of the protests expanded, with many calls for the resignation of President Viktor Yanukovych and his government. Many protesters joined because of the violent dispersal of protesters on 30 November and "a will to change life in Ukraine". By 25 January 2014, the protests had been fueled by the perception of "widespread government corruption", "abuse of power", and "violation of human rights in Ukraine".
The demonstrations began on the night of 21 November 2013, when protests erupted in the capital, Kiev, after the Ukrainian government suspended preparations for signing an Association Agreement and a Free Trade Agreement with the European Union, in order to seek closer economic relations with Russia. Prime Minister Mykola Azarov had asked for 20 Billion Euros (US$27) billion in loans and aid. The EU and Russia both offered Ukraine the possibility of substantial loans. Russia also offered Ukraine cheaper gas prices. On 24 November 2013, first clashes between protesters and police began. Protesters strived to break cordon. Police used tear gas and batons, protesters also used tear gas and some fire crackers (according to the police, protesters were the first to use them). After a few days of demonstrations an increasing number of university students joined the protests. The Euromaidan has been repeatedly characterised as an event of major political symbolism for the European Union itself, particularly as
"the largest ever pro-European rally in history".
The protests are ongoing despite heavy police presence, regularly sub-freezing temperatures, and snow. Escalating violence from government forces in the early morning of 30 November caused the level of protests to rise, with 400,000–800,000 protesters demonstrating in Kiev on the weekends of 1 December and 8 December. In the weeks since, protest attendance has fluctuated from 50,000 to 200,000 during organised rallies. Violent riots took place 1 December and 19 January through 25 in response to police brutality and government repression. Since 23 January several Western Ukrainian Oblast (province) Governor buildings and regional councils have been occupied in a revolt by Euromaidan activists. In the Russophone cities of Zaporizhzhya, Sumy, and Dnipropetrovsk, protesters also tried to take over their local government building, and have been met with considerable force from both police and government supporters.
According to journalist Lecia Bushak writing in the 18 February 2014 issue of Newsweek magazine, EuroMaidan has grown into something far bigger than just an angry response to the fallen-through EU deal. It's now about ousting Yanukovych and his corrupt government; guiding Ukraine away from its 200-year-long, deeply intertwined and painful relationship with Russia; and standing up for basic human rights to protest, speak and think freely and to act peacefully without the threat of punishment.
A turning point came in late-February, when enough members of the president's party fled or defected to lose their majority in the parliament leaving the opposition large enough to form the necessary quorum. This allowed parliament to pass a series of laws that removed police from Kiev, canceled anti-protest operations, restored the 2004 constitution, freed political detainees, and allegedly impeached the president. Yanukovych then fled to Ukraine's second largest city of Kharkiv, refusing to recognise the parliament's decisions. The parliament has assigned early elections for May 2014.

life is a short-lived ride, of possible intimate relationships, achievable spiritual heights, potential refining moments and knowable purpose
I'd say there are two photographers who were primarily responsible for inspiring me to take up photography. One of them is famous. His name is Galen Rowell. The other one is not. His name is Charles Uibel, and I don't remember how I came across his photos but he was one of my first flickr contacts. I followed his work for years before I became seriously interested in photography and decided to buy my first "real" camera. I was mesmerized by the relationship he had with the Great Salt Lake. It seemed like every day he could go out and find something completely new and fascinating, yet familiar. Featured in many of those photos is Antelope Island -- sometimes dominant, sometimes looming in the distance. It's often an anchor and a thread that weaves his images together. Always the same place, always seen in a new way.
Anyway, despite what my title suggests, I don't have hundreds of photos from this place. But Mickey Butte did remind me of Antelope Island. And the Mickey and Alvord basins are places worthy of the same sort of attention Uibel gives the Great Salt Lake. This was the third time I had been out here, and I plan to return as often as I can. I'm much more interested in seeing a place captured in a hundred different ways than I am in seeing a single trophy shot.
My relationship with this Leica started to about 25 years, I found it in a shop selling objects that have been left to fend for their owners and were not search them ...
to handle it,
I could already see the enormous stupidity of someone who probably to clean the lens used an abrasive and literally destroyed the first element of the objective Summar F = 5cm / 1: 2 ...
The bought anyway by the time equivalent to a mere US$ 50 ...
then I got an objective in good condition for her
Summitar f = 5cm / 1: 2, and used it for a long time making great photos
At that time I had a Nikon F2as equipment with several objectives, but fell in love with the small black Leica ..
Unfortunately now from lack of use, and perhaps excessive moisture from a tropical country the curtain dropped and never used it again, face the new digital evolution, but here's my tribute to her ...
I don't know the model of this Leica or when it was made!

Elin and I had been dating for 4 years. We had a fun relationship. Very kinky and playful. Over time she began to enjoy being the DOM more and I was more and more into the role of SUB.
Still we took turns spanking each other and putting each other in handcuffs. I guess what really started the change was the Chastity Play. When she got me into the chastity belt, it was like a horny machine for her. She would lock me up on a Friday and keep me locked up all weekend. Those weekends she would require my attention many many times more than if we were just having a normal weekend.
The chastity play grew from weekends to full weeks. Eventually going three weeks at one point. I was so horny I actually asked her to tie me up and spank me, just for the sexual attention. As it turned out, I never asked that again, as she ended up loving the activity. She spanked me right to her climax. While I did not enjoy the intensity of the thrashing my bottom received.
But that day opened the door to more spanking, as she had never realized that she could get off on spanking me into tears. Over the next six months she used the spanking bench to get me to change the kind of car I was going to buy, change my vacation plans and most importantly, get me to commit to painting the house the color she wanted. When the deadline to have the house painted came, and I was not done with the trim, I thought it was no big deal. Let's just say that I finished the house trim with a very sore bottom and the resolve to never miss a deadline again.
While this might sound terrible, at the same time something WONDERFUL was happening. You see, I am a Sweater Fetish Guy. When she wears a thick knit sweater or makes me wear a fuzzy sweater, then the world is PERFECT. I love to shop for sweaters for her, and any sweater activity. I am overjoyed to have sex in sweaters.
While previously, I was always asking and begging her to wear more sweaters, since the time that she started getting into the chastity and spanking stuff, she has also been more into wearing sweaters. I think the trade off is good. She knows she is doing it for me and I love it.
So that brings me to this photograph I have posted. One Fall day, we were checking out wedding places in South Carolina for a May 1st Wedding. We were in a cafe talking about the wedding on a cool fall day. She was wearing the sweater you see in the photo with jeans. I loved it.
I kept interrupting our planning with "I love that sweater" and reaching over the table to touch it. She was getting a little annoyed.
Elin then said, "Fine, let's talk about my dress, if you are only focused on what I am wearing"
I agreed and blurted out, "Why don't you wear that sweater, it's white! and it won't be too warm on May 1st." I smiled knowing that what I said was so ridiculous, it was funny, but at the same time, it made my pants move.
She paused and thought. She then said that this was an interesting idea. Maybe it was a way to tie up some other things that she had been thinking about with the wedding plans.
OH MY GOD, She is considering getting married in a thick fuzzy sweater!! I LOVE HER. She paused more and continued.
I've been thinking a lot about our wedding and how I think a wedding should really set the tone for the marriage. So I would seriously consider making a wedding dress that features this sweater.
I was going to pass out with excitement. She continued.
I know how important it would be to you to not just marry your sweater girl, but to have a big fuzzy sweater girl across the alter from you.
There are things that are important to me too. Things that I want in the marriage and things I think should be included in the wedding as well.
So here is our plan. On April 1st, you go into the chastity belt and you will stay in the chastity belt, without relief until 6 months after the wedding. Now I want you to pay careful attention to that language. April 1st in the chastity belt and not out again until 6 months after the wedding. So if for any reason the wedding is post-poned, you STAY BELTED until 6 months after the wedding. Sort of my "cold feet insurance".
Also understand that during this time, I will not be able to manage your behavior, by withholding sex or teasing you. Your behavior and my expectations will be managed with the paddle. At least Monthly you will be strapped down for a review. This could change to weekly, but we can see how that goes.
So that's it babe. That is my proposal. I think it does two great things, 1) I demonstrate to you my absolute commitment to being your sweater girl for life and 2) Our marriage starts on a foundation of you under my control, but as your choice, and managed with a chastity belt and paddle.
How does that sound?
My pants showed at at least part of me approved. Well I don't have to tell you my answer, The photo above is one of our wedding photographer photos.
We did it. She wore the sweater all day and night at the reception and I was belted for a month before and six months after.
I should note, our wedding was unusually warm and she always had the sweater on. She made sure on our wedding night my butt paid the price for her discomfort.
The 7 months in chastity was grueling. But now two years later, I am so happy we did it. The wedding plan really set up the whole marriage and we are both happy.
i wrote this on a napkin, and then wondered whether it's better this way, or on the back of a business card. i can't decide (the business card draft is here)

“A relationship is like a rose, How long it lasts, no one knows. Love can erase an awful past, love can be yours, you'll see at last. To feel that love, it makes you sigh, To have it leave, you'd rather die. You hope you've found that special rose, 'cause you love and care for the one you chose.”
Rob Cella
If you want to know how that person is, you observe how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.

Wild yaks (Tibetan: འབྲོང་; Wylie: 'brong) usually form herds of between 10 and 30 animals. Their habitat is treeless uplands such as hills, mountains and plateaus between 3,200 and 5,400 m (10,000 and 18,000 ft). Yak physiology is well adapted to high altitudes, having larger lungs and heart than cattle found at lower altitudes, as well as greater capacity for transporting oxygen through their blood. Conversely, yaks do not thrive at lower altitudes. They eat grasses, lichens and other plants. They are insulated by dense, close, matted under-hair as well as their shaggy outer hair. Yaks secrete a special sticky substance in their sweat which helps keep their under-hair matted and acts as extra insulation. This secretion is used in traditional Nepalese medicine. Many wild yaks are killed for food by hunters in China; they are now a vulnerable species. Historically, the main natural predator of the wild yak has been the Tibetan Wolf (Canis lupus chanco).
Thubten Jigme Norbu, the elder brother of Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, reports on his journey from Kumbum in Amdo to Lhasa in 1950 that:
Before long I was to see the vast herds of drongs with my own eyes. The sight of those beautiful and powerful beasts who from time immemorial have made their home on Tibet's high and barren plateaux never ceased to fascinate me. Somehow these shy creatures manage to sustain themselves on the stunted grass roots which is all that nature provides in those parts. And what a wonderful sight it is to see a great herd of them plunging head down in a wild gallop across the steppes. The earth shakes under their heels and a vast cloud of dust marks their passage. At nights they will protect themselves from the cold by huddling up together, with the calves in the centre. They will stand like this in a snow-storm, pressed so close together that the condensation from their breath rises into the air like a column of steam. The nomad have occasionally tried to bring up young drongs as domestic animals, but they have never entirely succeeded. Somehow once they live together with human beings they seem to lose their astonishing strength and powers of endurance; and they are no use at all as pack animals, because their backs immediately get sore. Their immemorial relationship with humans has therefore remained that of game and hunter, for their flesh is very tasty.
