Hi everyone! ... seems like such a long time sinse I've been here ... finally made myself sit down & tangle for awhile today ... 5x5, used a brown 0.3 prisma marker to do my tangles & then came back in with my "five" colors, yellow, orange, brown, green & blue, ( General Kimberly's watercolor pencils) wanted to keep it soft, muted & simple ... trying to keep everything simple & stressfree these days ... Note to Cat ... this will be coming your way soon:) Have a great week-end ... :) ... forgot to add I layed a piece of handmarbled paper over this in my scanner to help frame it out ...
As far as I know, this is the one and only ski lift powered by solar energy in Switzerland. Tenna is a laid-back mountain village with just one ski lift which stops for an hour during lunch time. I think that's so cute. It reminds me of my youth when even the Furkalift in Davos stopped at 12 o'clock for a lunch break.
hard to shoot when facing full light window on a dull day but you get the idea. yes he's sleeping. like that.
I had to hiked down the hills to get to the river. It would've been crazy if I didn't.'

A long week has turned into a long weekend, which will soon turn into another long week, and it got me thinking about relaxing times and places I've been. I took this picture in Hammock's Beach State Park in North Carolina in the summer of 2003, which was one of the most beautiful and most relaxing locations I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing.
The story behind this image, which was taken with my Nikon N65 (hence the graininess of the scanned in picture): I climbed up to the foot of the dunes to frame this shot with the sea oats in the foreground, and while I was lining it up my future wife (girlfriend at the time) came strolling into the frame. I remember thinking to myself, "Geez, she's not gonna let me get the shot I want" and then she did the most remarkable thing - she just threw her arms up high and looked at the sky like she didn't have a care in the world, and I snapped the frame. This is one of my most favorite candids that I've ever taken, and a true reminder of what it feels like to be wholly happy and free in your heart. Anyway, I just thought I'd share a little slice of one of my happy places for you to enjoy as well :-) Hope you are all having a great weekend!

Wilbur Hot Springs in Williams, CA
Just north of San Francisco two and half hours.
In all the world... no waters like these.
I believe it's important for everyone to have that one place or activity they can turn to when things feel overwhelming. Mine is sitting on the edge of the lake watching and listening to all the life bustling around.
Got to spend a few hours on the 241 toll road in California because people think they are driving speed boats in the rain.
Took advantage of the view!
"El Tamarindón" en el Barrio de Subtiava.
Revista Enlace
En este tamarindón.. Colgaron al cacique Adiac
Revista no. 66
El árbol de tamarindón es la catedral vegetal de los subtiavas. Según palabras de José de la Concepción Canales. Responsable del Museo Adiac del barrio de Subtiava. Don Concepción nos relata:
"Entre la gente de León se maneja una leyenda llena de amor y tragedia entre la india Xochilt y el indio Adiac. Donde supuestamente Adiac es ahorcado en un tamarindón por haber matado a un español por tener celos de Xochilt.
A través del tiempo, los que escribieron la historia dejaron de lado la valentía de este cacique. La verdadera historia de la muerte de Adiac, no fue sólo por amor a una mujer sino también por defender su tierra en contra de la invasión de los españoles.
En 1610, vino a León una buena cantidad de españoles a afincarse donde queda ahora la Catedral de León. Pero los sutiavas no les perrmitieron moverse en el territorio y les hicieron la vida imposible.
Ellos se ven forzados a acampar en Acocoyagua, adelante de Guadalupe.
Y en medio de una batalla muy desigual de fuerzas y de armas, los españoles lograron posesionarse del lugar. Los sutiavas jamás se doblegaron y los españoles se vieron forzados a traer negros, mulatos y de otras tribus, como los chorotegas,
para que les trabajaran y sembraran las tierras que finalmente les arrebataron.
Entre la gente sutiava estaba Adiac, él y su gente se fueron a Acocoyagua donde habían acampado anteriormente los invasores.
Adiac mantiene la resistencia por cuatro años en contra de los españoles. En su lucha como hombre de diálogo conversa con sus Tapaligues, que eran las principales autoridades indígenas, en el Cerro Lechecastle o Cerro de Oro, a media legua de la iglesia de Sutiava.
Por desgracia, los estaban espiando y la guardia española lo captura de inmediato. Lo amarran a un caballo y lo llevan de arrastras. Adiac casi está agonizando cuando los españoles se detienen frente al tamarindón donde deciden rematarlo, ahorcándolo.
Se creé que su asesinato fué en 1614. Este árbol de tamarido de 389 años es vivo testigo de la muerte injusta de este indígena valiente. En la actualidad está carcomido desde el corazón de su tronco por una plaga que le va quitando la vida lentamente. Una señora del barrio lo cuida regándolo y espanta a los muchachos que apedrean los nidos que con sus ramas cobija.
Este tamarindón está en un barrio de Subtiava que lleva el nombre de "Godoy", cerca del campo de aterrizaje, en León. En los años de gobierno de Juan Baustista Sacaza, el ferrocaril hizo colocar una placa conmemorativa."
Don Concepción hace un llamado a la alcaldía para que visite el tamarindón para que compruebe su triste situación y le dé un trato como patrimonio nacional que se merece.
Una manera pude ser, que contrate a expertos en árboles que puedan darle un tratamiento adecuado para alargarele unos años más de vida. Visítelo antes de que muera.

This photo is all about relaxing. Which I do need to, because I have been having a lot of school stress being put on me. So I like to think of this as my little place in my mind to go to escape all of that. :)
Education is just a tool when applied for personal gain it helps you make a living, when applied to add value to others it helps you make a life. Education provides us knowledge of now things work, this knowledge is a truth that we can use how ever we wish, when you use your knowledge only to fulfill your personal wants you remain void at true internal fulfillment. How ever when you choose to utilize knowledge to add value to others with out conditions you make a real diff and live joy filled and stress free.
