The Thinker is perhaps the best known of all Rodin's sculptures. The concentration and the tension of this thinker, rendered universal in his nudity, constitutes a compelling symbol of hope and of faith in mankind.
The Thinker is 71.5 cms high. It was first exhibited in 1888. It was transported with its pedestal to the gardens of the Hotel Biron in 1923.
Between Les Invalides and the Eiffel Tower, The Thinker sits atop his pillar among the box trees, facing The Gates of Hell on the other side of the garden (designed in 1920 after the demolition of the outbuildings that once bordered the Hôtel Biron).
Rodin would first make a clay model, when he was satisfied, he would turn it over to a moulder who would make a first plaster cast. Later he could make changes on the plaster or enlarge the model through a mechanical process. Then he could go on to execute it in marble or cast in in bronze by a foundry. Hence there could be more one size or medium of the same sculpture.
And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky
Somewhere out there if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true
~words from the song Somewhere out there
Well I should because it's too small but that way I would have never even tried to get into this lovely floral bathing costume by Laura Ashley.

Problems are the part of one's life. But there's no problem without any solution. Each problem has a solution,sometimes the number is more than one. Only thing we need to do is think. Think about the problem,think about the paths that can make the matters easier,and the solution will come out by itself.
The bullets fired from the gun Linda is holding travel ever closer to my chest. I can’t move. Hunter has me held completely immobile. I close my eyes and focus on moving. Every ounce of strength I can muster needs to be enough for me to break free from Hunter’s grasp. I need to focus!

(8 years ago, Wally’s first encounter with Captain Cold)
“Ah, poor Kid Flash stuck in ice and no way to get out. Not even the Flash is here to help you.”
“Think again!” Barry yells as the ice slowly begins to rise up over my chest. I knew he wouldn’t be far behind me. Though I hate that he doesn’t completely trust me, I am thankful that he followed me this time. Without his distrust, today may have actually been my last day. “Snart, you’re under arrest for multiple counts of theft and two charges of murder.”
“Nice to see the whole Flash family together. Now you can die together.” Captain Cold aims his freeze ray at Barry and pulls the trigger. Within an instant Barry is… Wait, how? Barry got his feet trapped in two blocks of ice. How did that even happen?
”Let us go!” I yell as Captain Cold jumps down from the platform he stood on. He laughs as he gets closer to me.
“Before I go, let’s see who’s underneath these masks.” Captain Cold says with a devious smirk on his face. He walks over to Barry. Unfortunately, the ice blocks around Barry have already formed around Barry’s arms, making a strike against Captain Cold null and void. As Snart begins to lift up Barry’s mask, a blur of yellow lightning emits from the ice block Barry is in. Suddenly, Barry is holding Snart by his neck.
”Woah!”
Time passes and Snart is taken into Iron Heights. Barry and I are back at his apartment. He grabs a couple of his specially made protein bars from the pantry and throws one to me.
”So how did you do that?” I ask as I unwrap the bar from its wrapper.
“I vibrated to the frequency of the ice and ‘slid’ out from the block.” He says as he takes a bite form his bar.
”Can you teach me?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I focus and begin to vibrate my body at immense speeds. I become almost invisible to the human eye as I pass through hunter’s arms. Quickly, I take Hunter and throw him to the ground. He quickly gets back up, but as he does the two bullets Linda fired rip through his back. He quickly shows surprise on his face.
”No!” I yell as I run to his side. He quickly drops to the ground and I kneel by his side. I grab his hand and quickly check for a pulse. Linda runs over to my side.
”I thought he died.” She must have noticed it was Hunter. I look up to her as a tear runs down my cheek.
”So did I.”
”I didn’t know it was him. Is he still breathing? Should I call an ambulance?” Linda quickly answers. She begins to pull out her phone from her pocket.
“No.” I say as I take my hand from his wrist. ”He’s not breathing.”
I take the scythe from his hand. As I do so, a large blast of lightning strikes Hunter’s body. He’s gone as quickly as he arrived.
”Where’d he go?” Linda asks. I, with no real answer, am forced to make a cliché answer.
“That’s a long story.” She places her hand on my shoulder
“You want to talk over a cup of tea? I made some at home and I think it still may be a little hot.” I crack a slight smile and look at her.
“That sounds nice.” I say. I look down at the scythe and then grab Linda around the waste. I pick her up and race us both back to our apartment. Quickly, set her down on the couch and I run into our room and change into normal clothes. I make my way back into the living room and she stands up from her seat.
“Did you just?”
”Do you mind?”
“Not at all. Quite fun, actually.” She says as she picks up her cup of tea and takes a sip. She smiles as she brings the cup down from her lips. “Ah, it’s still warm.”
We both take a seat next to each other on the couch. I pick up my cup and the television remote. With a click, the television turns on and I softly elbow Linda on her arm.
”I hope you don’t mind, I put the scythe atop the shelf underneath the tv.” I say as I take a sip from my cup of tea.
”No, that’s fine.” Linda answers as she leans closer to me and wraps her arm around mine.
“Good.” I quietly say as I take another sip from my cup…

I think sometime last year, I lost a lot of myself. I was angry, depressed and/or resentful about 98% of the time. It didn't really go away when I entered 2013 but it is getting considerably better. I find that actions do in fact speak louder than words, though.
Have you upset or hurt anyone in the past year? Did you fix it? My advice to you: even if you don't like the person, and even if you feel as though you deserve something back from them, let go of all that. Lose that pride, it won't help you anymore. Tell them you're sorry. Because at the end of the day, you and the person you dislike could be polar opposites, but anyone's day could be made upon them receiving a phone call with the speaker saying "I'm sorry." on the other line.
2013 will be the year I fix myself, and I mean really fix myself. I am not perfect but the hate that runs through my veins feels like a virus I have been too stubborn to cure, until now.
Art does His Part! Seen on the Scene in tattered overalls in a jarring plaid pattern. So cute! Please note: the overalls are NOT Bell Bottomed! What will they think of NEXT??! [^D
I think he/she is a Nashville Warbler, if someone knows differently, please correct me. It hit the window today but made a pretty quick recovery and flew away, thank goodness. Identified by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

Some guy who thinks he runs the show giving the CNRR Carol Stream job new orders!
Actually, Mark shaking the engineers hand of the EJ&E 659 as they crossed Kehoe Blvd. I think he knew everyone on this job.
Rainy dreary weather has me yearning to photograph some of the many warblers I hear singing in my yard. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to want to come out and play either. As a result, I drift back looking at some of the photos I’ve taken over the past 6 months. Instead of a drab grey day, I think pink will do. This Roseate Spoonbill was more than happy enough to pose during my visit to Peaceful Waters Sanctuary. I always enjoy this quiet little retreat. #RoseateSpoonbill

think (think) think (think) think (think)
You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free
Let's go back, let's go back, let's go way on back when
I didn't even know you, you came to me and too much you wouldn't take
I ain't no psychiatrist, I ain't no doctor with degree
It don't take too much high IQ's to see what you're doing to me
You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free
Oh freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, yeah freedom
Freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, ooh freedom
There ain't nothing you could ask I could answer you but I won't (I won't)
I was gonna change, but I'm not, to keep doing things I don't
You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free
People walking around everyday, playing games that they can score
And I ain't gonna be the loser my way, ah, be careful you don't lose yours
You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free
You need me (need me) and I need you (don't you know)
Without eachother there ain't nothing people can do
Oh freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, yeah freedom
Freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, ooh freedom
There ain't nothing you could ask I could answer you but I won't (I won't)
I was gonna change, but I'm not, if you're doing things I don't
You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free
You need me (need me) and I need you (don't you know)
Without eachother there ain't nothing people can do
