It wasn't easy getting a composition I was happy with on these rocks but I wanted that water rushing through and pouring over the rock tables. eventually I settled on this, though I'd be happier a little more to my right but no way that was happening. Not without a good and proper soaking anyway.

Self-portraits are more fun at 1:00 am in the empty kitchen. Proven fact. Inspiration [+1]

The only way to view this

 

Well, I can hear you breathin'

See your picture on the wall

I would give you my wings

If they'd help you at all

 

What if we could be all that we were meant to be?

I am in control. Regardless of the enemy's foul whisperings, despite the desires of my flesh, I choose my future, my actions, my standards. And yet, I feel so powerless. So weak. I am a vulnerable, fickle, worthless excuse for the vessel of glory I was created to be; I am entrusted with representing the name of Jesus, to live by His example. But I fall short. I see the glittering earth and trade Christ's beauty for tangible filth. But hey, at least I'm in control, right?

I have to give up the reigns. Apathy has taught me never to trust myself. Experience has taught me never to trust the world. I don't want to be in control. I'll only steer this vessel to the grave.

If there never was great error, there would be no need for great mercy. And oh, are we ever in need.

RLS sensations range from pain or an aching in the muscles, to "an itch you can't scratch", a "buzzing sensation", an unpleasant "tickle that won't stop", a "crawling" feeling, or limbs jerking while awake. The sensations typically begin or intensify during quiet wakefulness, such as when relaxing, reading, studying, or trying to sleep.[9]

 

It is a "spectrum" disease with some people experiencing only a minor annoyance and others having major disruption of sleep and impairments in quality of life.[10]

 

The sensations—and the need to move—may return immediately after ceasing movement or at a later time. RLS may start at any age, including childhood, and is a progressive disease for some, while the symptoms may remit in others.[11] In a survey among members of the Restless Legs Syndrome Foundation,[12] it was found that up to 45% of patients had their first symptoms before the age of 20 years.[13]

 

"An urge to move, usually due to uncomfortable sensations that occur primarily in the legs, but occasionally in the arms or elsewhere."

 

The sensations are unusual and unlike other common sensations. Those with RLS have a hard time describing them, using words or phrases such as uncomfortable, painful, 'antsy', electrical, creeping, itching, pins and needles, pulling, crawling, buzzing, and numbness. It is sometimes described similar to a limb 'falling asleep' or an exaggerated sense of positional awareness of the affected area. The sensation and the urge can occur in any body part; the most cited location is legs, followed by arms. Some people have little or no sensation, yet still, have a strong urge to move.

 

"Motor restlessness, expressed as activity, which relieves the urge to move."

 

Movement usually brings immediate relief, although temporary and partial. Walking is most common; however, stretching, yoga, biking, or other physical activity may relieve the symptoms. Continuous, fast up-and-down movements of the leg, and/or rapidly moving the legs toward then away from each other, may keep sensations at bay without having to walk. Specific movements may be unique to each person.

 

"Worsening of symptoms by relaxation."

 

Sitting or lying down (reading, plane ride, watching TV) can trigger the sensations and urge to move. Severity depends on the severity of the person's RLS, the degree of restfulness, duration of the inactivity, etc.

 

"Variability over the course of the day-night cycle, with symptoms worse in the evening and early in the night."

 

Some experience RLS only at bedtime, while others experience it throughout the day and night. Most people experience the worst symptoms in the evening and the least in the morning.

 

"Restless legs feel similar to the urge to yawn, situated in the legs or arms."

 

These symptoms of RLS can make sleeping difficult for many patients and a recent poll shows the presence of significant daytime difficulties resulting from this condition. These problems range from being late for work to missing work or events because of drowsiness. Patients with RLS who responded reported driving while drowsy more than patients without RLS. These daytime difficulties can translate into safety, social and economic issues for the patient and for society.

 

Individuals with RLS have higher rates of depression and anxiety disorders.[14]

Primary and secondary

 

RLS is categorized as either primary or secondary.

 

Primary RLS is considered idiopathic or with no known cause. Primary RLS usually begins slowly, before approximately 40–45 years of age and may disappear for months or even years. It is often progressive and gets worse with age. RLS in children is often misdiagnosed as growing pains.

Secondary RLS often has a sudden onset after age 40, and may be daily from the beginning. It is most associated with specific medical conditions or the use of certain drugs ...

Young and Restless at Toast, Canberra 15 September 2006.

  

I can't believe I pulled this one off. The lighting was practically non-existant for most of the gig and I had trouble even focusing a lot of the time. When I saw Karina stick out her arm like that, I knew I had to capture it. Somehow I actually managed it.

 

Sept. 17: my first explore photo! it reached a peak of 28, aw.

Dramatic unity

Appealing action

Emotional inspiration

"Neva felt you,

Nothing physical yet,

I'm taken back by your presence.

I could only imagine,

What it would be like

if we were to lie naked.

Naked - waiting on my phone to ring.

Never did.

Ring.

Never did."

A rainy weekend in Bridgetown - but I was excited to this gorgeous bird. I've only seen them in the garden a couple of times - and both times close to the house checking the spider webs for bugs (you can just see some cobweb on his head). Hopefully I get more chances to get a decent photo in the future.
