Why are you always upside down? Just when you think everything is facing straight ahead you end up tilted. The story of my life.
This photo is SOOC too.
Photo captured via Nikon 50mm f/1.8 D AF Nikkor lens at a cattle ranch on Old Samoa Road in the city of Arcata. Humboldt County. Early October 2013.
((see pic below for where this poor Monarch was before this shot))
After a bit, I took a stick and I broke the spider web and freed the Monarch butterfly from the web. I picked him up and gently removed as much sticky web stuff from him as I could. At first he just lay down on this stump as seen here...but then he started to fly around just a little bit. So I hope he is okay..the 2nd shot of him added to this image, was him up and about walking. The nature center was closing and I prayed the Monarch would survive. However, I began to feel a little bit like maybe I shouldn't have interfered with the ways of Nature...So I think in the future if confronted with similar situation I will not tamper with nature again...
Today is her birthday. She is truly the most beautiful person I know in this world. I was testing out the lighting for some romantic kissing shots, but this one of her came out the best.
This one happened around 2 am, but I'm still going strong. Besides, she'd never let me get away with doing this project for only 3 days.
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.

Rediscovering Inner Peace and Strength.
Description:
Hey there, fellow nature lovers. I'm excited to share how I find peace and self-reflection behind a small waterfall. In this serene spot, I contemplate my existence in this vast world. The breathtaking scenery and the calming sound of flowing water always help quiet my mind, bringing me comfort and tranquillity. This waterfall has become my sanctuary, offering me an escape from the busyness of everyday life and a chance to connect with myself truly. Here, surrounded by peaceful nature, I rediscover my inner strength. Come join me in appreciating the world's beauty and setting aside a moment for self-reflection.

Photo captured along a cattle ranch in the town of Orick and near Redwood National Park. Humboldt County. Late August 2013.
playing with that odd 'double reflection' thing that happens in some windows. taken with canon G12 in low light
summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when September ends
ring out the bells again
like we did when spring began
wake me up when September ends
here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are
as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when September ends

Self - portrait. This is my new stream. Some of you may remember me. I can't seem to stay away. This time around, flickr will be reserved for my best work. I'm not going to post just for the sake of posting anymore. I also won't be adding everyone as a contact just because they added me or commented on my stream. I'm going to be very selective about who I associate with. If you like what you see, by all means comment. If you want to add me as a contact, I ask that you shoot me a message telling me what it is that brought you to me. How did you find me? What is it that you like about my stream? Introduce yourself and I will have a look at your stream and profile.
Thanks.
A Roleplay.
How does a man reconcile with himself the things he's done?
For some, it's simple. They take the things they'd rather not remember, fold them neatly away and lock them somewhere conscience cannot reach. They learn to live with the silence, perhaps even convince themselves there's nothing to answer for.
Others aren't afforded that luxury.
Some carry the weight of their actions long after the moment has passed. They revisit the roads they took, the lines they crossed, the things they justified when there seemed no other way.
And perhaps the cruelest part isn't the judgement of others, but the quiet understanding of what they've become capable of.
Because there are things a man can survive, things he can forgive in others, and things he may spend a lifetime struggling to forgive in himself.
And sometimes, the hardest person to face is the one staring back at you in the mirror.

I believe we all have gifts we were born with. My gift is my hands. I am a massage therapist and can do wonders because of this gift.
This isn't really the shot I wanted, but I couldn't get my desired results, so I just threw this one together.
P.S. There is a cool little (accidental) image in the background that represents us, can you find it?
The veranda/terrace (beach towels and all) that was part of our apartment in Elounda as reflected through the glass light covering :o)
Taking a walk in Marin. The area is beautiful with so many natural areas of hills and trees.

I saw you gather all your hopes
With all your dreams
I waved just like a shooting star
That once had waved to me
I am a lover in mid air
I think about it i don't care
Into the fire of despair
Just like a train that goes nowhere
But you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain, rain on me

I've always loved the rain. Everything about it. The smell, the feel, the sense of oneness with nature as she renews herself. We had just come home from my cousin's graduation when the rain came. I started setting up my tripod. My aunt and uncle just quietly went inside without a word. They knew to let me be. I let the rain soak into my skin as the dog watched from the garage.
“My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.” - John Lennon
Know a lot of people going through a lot of things, just want you all to know that your never alone, and though I may not always be around, i'm here whenever you need me.

Signs of life exist in far Northern California in cooler temp beach waters :) Such a good afternoon to marinate under the sun and partly mid level cloudy skies. Photo taken at Clam Beach in Humboldt County past McKinleyville. Late May 2012.
