Photo of the rugged Santa Lucia Mountains captured alongside the El Sur Ranch on the Old Coast Road in Big Sur. Monterey County. Mid April 2013.
Just trying to show that if we paint our faces and put on a smile, we can often hide the turmoil within. I think that many of us are guilty of hiding our inner feelings at times, be they happy or sad.

Texture on mirror from jaiel
the texture of rust thrills me. on these cold but sunny seattle days i never take for granted the seeing of crisp clear shadows. i miss them on the overcast days.
Semi-candid portrait of a friend's son at his family's annual Australia Day party (January 26).
Our national day is problematic as it is commemorates the arrival of the first European settlers in 1788. The anniverary of federation would be a less racially insensitive date on which to celebrate Australian nationhood but that's January 1st -- most of us would be too hungover. ;)

We're Here! looking for Stop Signs.
Today I stop full-time employment, and carefully go into that intersection called Retirement.
You can see my reflection in the S of Stop!
There have been many men who have been so connected to themselves and on their path that they are not wanting to get into a sexual relationship with me because they’re in a state of self-inquiry, self-reflection, abstinence, or whatever it.

This was supposed to be for FGR and Self Reflection, but I get the feeling this is too much of a "Look at me! I'm pretty!" shot than they want. Even though this is shot in the mirror at work, and I'm reflected on the stall door behind me. I was inspired last night to do a nice, 3/4 shot portrait....
I also forgot to put lipstick back on for this.
Anyway, I was dressed all in Neutral today. That beige/tan/cream (cashmere! :-D) sweater, brown slacks, and brown shoes. With the blue necklace and earrings. And my brighter lipstick which is kinda an Orangey red.
Anyway, do you know how hard it is to hide when you're a redheaded female in Computer Science??? Teachers I never had knew who I was! As much as I try to dress to not stand out, as much as I want to fade into the background, I just can't. It's impossible. I've sorta oscillated on this. I DO like to wear bright colors. It's just that sometimes I feel awkward doing so. Most techy people are male. Males don't tend to wear, bright, flashy colors. And so I stick out when *I* wear them. But that doesn't matter. I can try to dress with the crowd. I can try to blend in with my surroundings, and the people who surround me. But no matter what, I'm a Norwegian Blue, and the plumage DOES enter into it! (I'm not dead yet!)

Often in life, one must cleanse the soul; undergoing a series of self reflective exercises to uncover the highs and lows pertaining to one's life. Just like this photo depicts beautiful Mount Lassen, and its reflection on the lake, life sometimes can and will display the obvious to your very own eyes. Live, love and enjoy life. Photo of Mount Lassen captured at Manzanita Lake. Shasta County. Late October 2012.
Natural habitat on a slow weekend morning. Just out of frame, some teenagers chasing a basketball around the train car.
As former president Teddy Roosevelt puts it...behold it is the "Eighth Wonder of the World." The water originates from underground springs above and at the falls. Even during the dry summer months and at 129 feet in height, the water provides an almost constant flow rate of 100 million U.S. gallons / day. Photo of Burney Falls captured via the HDR method of photography from McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park in Shasta County. Northern California. On the last day of 2012.
...i felt like melting into the ball of light so i made myself appear as though i was beginning to meld...#288 of the 365day challenge.
For the FGR group of the day, SELF-REFLECTION.
Yeah, I know sometimes I go overboard with the processing. But I thought that the processing on this one made it particularly fun. :)

There is no witness so dreadful, no accuser so terrible as the conscience that dwells in the heart of every man.
~Polybius, Greek historian (205-118BC)
I've been toying with this idea and saving this quote for a long time. I think I finally achieved my vision for it. There has been a great deal dwelling in my heart (really my mind, of course) lately. Funny how these flashes of creativity, these brief moments of near greatness come of such unsettling in the soul.
Selfreflection on a car in Amsterdam. Taken with my HTC Desire using the Camera360 Android app.
I've spent the last 2 months working way too much, using up all my energy and positive thoughts, now I'm just an empty shell that does nothing else but wake up, bike to the office, spend a harsh day filled with activities that require my full attention and focus, even though they don't deserve them, and that force me to erase any and all traces of a (social) life. All I get in return is more harshness, unreasonable demands, expectations as high as the freakin' Twin Towers (when they were still standing, obviously :) and little 'mistakes' at the accounting department that ensure that I'm not even getting paid a cent for having worked every freakin' Friday, my usual day off, since the beginning of February.
This is not a situation that I would wish on anybody, least of all myself, but that's what I wake up to every day, and every day I need to muster all my spirit and positivity just to make it out of bed and to work without crying like a wee little baby, needless to say that there is nothing left to put into taking pictures or spending quality time with my (Interwebs) friends, so as of now I will only post one picture a day, instead of the usual 3, until I won't even have the resources left to achieve that, hopefully that's not gonna happen, I am addicted to this shizzle :)
The good part is that soon I won't have enough energy to complain about my situation anymore, so you should not see too many of these cry-baby posts in the future, lol :D
Have a relaxed weekend!

...a mirror in her hand
like the half full moon
but,
not the full moon
look inside the mirror,

the viewer
SHE`s near,
but
not the mirror
