"Sometimes what seems like surrender isn't surrender at all. It's about what's going on in our hearts. About seeing clearly the way life is and accepting it and being true to it, whatever the pain, because the pain of not being true to it is far, far greater."
- Nicholas Evans, The Horse Whisperer
Surrender, a word that we don't understand
How are we to get ahead when we have empty hands?
We fight for what will fade
We cling to that from which we're saved
And soon we'll wake to find
We've naught but fists of sand
What good is the whole world
If you've no soul?
~Cool Hand Luke
I just adore their lyrics. Oh how they make me think!
On another note - yeah....winter sucks. Maybe it's still fall where you are....not here.

I wanted to do photography today but He was leading me differently, to spend more time talking with folks... But watching this video (youtu.be/6RxVxtLtjhw), I supernaturally fully believed that God cared about me and every aspect of my life. It was when Jairus was begging Jesus to come heal his daughter.... So often God is begging me to just take care of myself, like a loving father trying to talk his son out doing something stupid. Doing life His way makes happy, I feel close to him, and I'm recognizing His goodness (or, glorifying Him, to use a church word)
The odd thing is, I believed He wanted me to do photography this morning. He just kept saying 'not yet' and leading me to do different things which were nice, but not photography
He's talked to me about photography as something just to do with him instead of something to make me happy. When I'm trusting in God, remembering my sin, Jesus's love, and dreaming of heaven while counting gratitudes today... I'm pretty happy and content
And sure enough, the lighting was beautiful at sunset and he urged me to take this picture of my wonderful nerve plant
If you surrender completely to the moments as they pass, you live more richly those moments.
~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The white flag of surrender flying on top of Dollar Law in the border hills. Brrrr it was very cold that day thats for sure. This unusual "icy flag" stuck to an old rotten fence post caught my eye on a walk in the southern uplands.

One year anniversary.
Today, 365 days ago, was the day I took my first ever serious surrealistic photograph, October 12th 2013. I want to mark my one year anniversary with this photo. This first year as a photographer has been one of the most amazing in my entire life. I've met so much amazing people, learnt (and taught) so much about everything and I have found who I am. I've found my style in photography, with help from the amazing people I'm thankful to call my friends. I can't believe how much this one year has affected me as a person, and how fast I've improved, it's crazy! I will keep on doing this amazing hobby of mine, as long as possible. I do appreciate every one of you out there who follow my work, leave lovely feedback and inspire me. You are all amazing!
Earlier today I broswed through Brooke Shaden's photo stream while listening to U2's "Moment of surrender". The lyrics "Playing with the fire till the fire played with me" really hit me, so I decided to create this out of it. Very fun process! It turned out as one of those photos I adore, even though that may sound a little egoistic.
Thank you for one LOVELY year!
When we kiss my heart's on fire
Burning with a strange desire
And I know, each time I kiss you
That your heart's on fire too
So, my darling, please surrender
All your love so warm and tender
Let me hold you in my arms, dear
While the moon shines bright above

I was busy with the grand-children today so am posting this very late. Enjoy your day and thanks for visiting.
I had a wonderful idea for a photograph, so I waited here for a boat to go by for a long time. The boats that were on the lake were 3 or 4 kilometres away on the other side. Trees on either side of my little window obscured my view from this side. One or two went by, but I wasn't fast enough to capture it. After a couple of hours waiting, I finally figured out that summer was over, I had to concede, the lake won.

Statue "Unconditional Surrender" in San Diego.
Statue is of a famous photo appearing in Life Magazine
taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt in Times Square, New York City,
on V-J Day (August 14, 1945) of a sailor kissing a nurse.
(White Caps). Jordan Azcune
Artist's statement: 'White Caps' depicts a formal parade of white flags. Grounded in rows with white ropes and simple poles, these 6ft-tall structures suggest an anthropomorphic crowd of waves, activated by wind rather than swell. It's D.I.Y. engineering and formal spacial alignment set next to the context of the ocean offer opportunities to test the inevitability of wind force and highlight the kinetic beauty of material. White Caps optimises its position in reference to the sea, while parodying the complex nature of symbols within maritime and surf culture.

Every now and then you find a scene that you know will be perfect in a classic black & white. This was the case when I discovered Bondleigh Hall ruins for the first time on Friday.

Roanyer Ria mask, blue lenses, lashes, G cups, sweet blue lace frock, and modest curves encased in a new pair of beige Rose Sakura sheer to waists. The latter feel just as wonderful as the black ones, but they are not quite as shiny. More photos, as always, here... www.deviantart.com/marilynbardot
