Mr Nomad is away (again), summer seems to be hiding away (again), and I'm feeling a bit flat and uninspired at the moment so I'm going to cook a simple curry and curl up on the sofa with my gorgeous daughter to watch a film (fingers crossed that she doesn't choose "The Smurfs", lol).
Tomorrow afternoon I'll be taking part in a charity event to raise money for Cancer Research, both as a participant and photographer - hence the pink shoes :-). The event, Spin For Life, has been organised from scratch by my indomitable, inspirational and utterly gorgeous neighbour and spinning instructor (when I make it to classes), Sharly.
The event will be taking place simultaneously at various locations around the world, with 370 (and climbing even now) participants - see here for more details www.justgiving.com/teams/spin4life. All pretty impressive considering 3 months ago it was just a thought expressed out loud at the end of spinning class, IMHO!
Everyone participating is doing so in memory of a loved one whom they lost to cancer - and in recognition of those who have survived and are currently fighting cancer. In my case, my wonderful cousin David, a man with a real zest for life, passed away on 4th February 2013, aged just 48, after a year long battle against this indiscriminate disease, leaving a David-sized space in the lives of all who knew him, from colleagues to cousins, but none more so than his beautiful wife and 3 young sons, as well as his mother and siblings. I suspect that there are going to be tears and laughter at tomorrow's event!

ODC, The Tide Is Turning … or at least we are all doing our best to turn the tide against cancer.
Years ago, a friend told me a story from her childhood that I'd not heard before, and I think of it often. The story goes like this:
One morning, a little girl was looking across the valley from her house, admiring the beautiful golden windows on a house on the top of the hill.
"Mom," she said, "Do you see that house on the hill with golden windows? It must be so beautiful there, and the people who live there must be so wealthy! I'll bet they have no problems and their lives are filled with happiness every day. I wish OUR HOUSE had golden windows."
"Oh, darling," replied the mother, "no one's life is perfect. Even people who live in a house with golden windows."
"No, I think you are wrong! I want to go see for myself!" So the mother packed the daughter a lunch, and away the daughter went to cross the valley and see how wonderful life was for the people who lived in the house with golden windows.
The girl walked all day long. As she reached the bottom of the valley, she lost sight of the house but kept going. It was dusk by the time she reached the top of the other hill. But to her surprise, all she found was an ordinary house. She saw no golden ornaments, nothing that made the house look different or more special than any other house. The people looked ordinary, just like the people in her own family. She was puzzled.
Disappointed, she turned around to gaze at her own house across the valley she'd just crossed. And to her surprise, her house was ablaze with light. The windows shone with gold as the setting sun lit them up. In disbelief, she looked again at the ordinary house in front of her, then back to her house gleaming across the way.
"MY house has golden windows!" she said in amazement. She stood for a moment, struck by how beautiful her house looked from this side of the valley. She took off running back down the hill, eager to return to her family.

I was watching the kids jump from a bridge this afternoon. Once she thought about it more than 10 seconds I knew she wouldn't jump...
She was a very pretty young girl how they talked her into it I don't know. She was smarter that he was. The jump may have taken her suit off her so she did the right thing.
'I wish I was special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.
I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I wanna a perfect body
I wanna a perfect soul.'

From the ornamental plants around the home of my brother and sister-in-law, in Tennessee. I'm not sure if this is a trillium or not. The flowers were about 2 inches/6 cm across, and were apparently not completely opened yet. I like the variegated leaves, too. The material lying on the plant was catkins (flowers) from some tree.
Larger sizes available.
Any help in identification would be appreciated. Thanks. It's apparently Trillium chloropetalum, or maybe Trillium cuneatum. It seems to be a trillium, in any case.
After a couple of those fermented beverages that make me extra friendly I saw this woman walking down the street.
I did that thing... that trick where I say 'hey hey' in a way that makes the person think that I know them.
I think they get a little confused for a few seconds... like they try to figure out how they know me... even though they don't... they respond as if they do until they figure it out.
In the meantime I shoot a few pictures.
Then we laugh and go our seperate ways into the night.
Do you ever wonder about the dreams of people you pass by on the sidewalk?
Do you ever wonder what dreams they've got?
Everybody has dreams.
You've got dreams.
I've got dreams.
After the holidays and some paperwork I've gotta take care of in January I've decided to jump on one of those dreams.
I want to backpack across Iceland.
Not all of Iceland.
Maybe just a week's worth of it.
Fifty or sixty miles maybe.
I've been deprived of lonely wilderness adventure for the last two years and I gotta get lost in inner space.
I've always dug Iceland and I'm gonna save up some dough and grab a plane ticket...
bring my backpack and my camera and hit the trails there.
Those wicked blisters I got hiking across Isle Royale have healed.
I've been breaking those boots in for three years.
I'm ready.
Who doesn't dig volcanos?
It looks like a paradise and the kinda place I can do some deep thinkin' all by myself with only the mountains and the streams, the sound of the wind and the horizon to keep me company.
I gotta knock that dream off the list in 2012 before the Aztec predictions come true.
I wanna buy a sailboat too.
Not a big one.
Just big enough to do some sailing way out on Lake Michigan.
It's time.
I need the chillaxin' in my life and it would be good for the little Viewminders to get out on the water and learn to sail.
You know what else I wanna do?
I wanna buy some land in the mountains and put up a yurt.
One of those cool round tents that the nomadic Mongols live in.
I dig yurts.
It'd be really cool to live in a yurt for a few weeks every year I think.
I've got a little while for that one.
I'd love to backpack across Patagonia too.
I love to travel.
Finding myself in exotic foreign places is kinda cool.
My life's been on standstill for a couple of years and I'm hopin' I'm gonna break out of that in January and get some of those dreams accomplished.
As I get older I realize that people are made of dreams.
Take those dreams away and you're not left with much of a person.
You gotta have dreams.
Just reaching for them makes us alive.
Achieving them is living.
I hope you've got some wonderful dreams in your pocket.
Things you aspire to do.
Moments you look forward to living.
Dream big.
Dream on.
Dream forever.
We're made of dreams.
Dreams.
