Peaceful Saturday
It's a lot harder to do than it looks, especially when trying to line up both shoulders and two braids. I gave up on absolute perfection here. But it was good enough for the Flickr Blog. (See blank spot, the result of accidentally making this private one day. The other problem: I wiped out 200+ favorites.)
The massive rock formation in the picture is "Ship Rock", which forms the south "wall" of the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado. There are 70 tiered seating rows to the top, and for some reason I decided to walk each row rather than climb the stairs outright. In 90+ degrees heat at mid-day sun, and an elevation of 6450 feet (1965m), it was quite a slog (I passed by 9525 "seats" in the walk).
Red Rocks Amphitheathre is an outdoor entertainment venue that was provided by Mother Nature, and has been used since 1906. The modern configuration of the venue was constructed under the ownership of the City of Denver, from 1936 to 1942.
Because of the unique setting, and great acoustics provided by three naturally-formed 300-foot rocks (Ship Rock, Stage Rock, and Creation Rock), many TV performances, movies and recordings have been made at Red Rocks.
Nearly every major recording artist has performed at Red Rocks since the 1960's Beatles show. Stage bills, posters and signed memorabilia are on display at the onsite Colorado Music Hall of Fame. I named only a few of the groups (ones that I liked) in the "Tags".

Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results.
Willie Nelson
You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind.
Joyce Meyer
There is not a single instance in history where hate has brought joy to human beings.
Rhonda Byrne
In the East, we need more material goods and development. In the West, you need to develop the mind to sustain happiness and peace, so I think we can benefit from an exchange.
Dalai Lama
And I knew, then and there, that no matter what happens one should never let the negatives in their life become the manifesto of their whole being. It always takes two to tango. Negatives don’t come without positives.”

Musician, singer, songwriter, author, poet, and activist, at 83 years old this man is inspirational. I had the privilege of seeing him perform last night in front of thousands. The audience loved him.
She thanked the moon and
her bright guiding light
that once touched a face
like a kiss in the night
that awakened a soul
from an ocean so deep
and promised his heart
to another to keep
Safe in her hand
an ocean apart
two hearts beat as one
As they should from the start
She promised to love him
forever and a day
and the moon shone more brightly
and guided their way

No make-up, hair's a mess, shiny nose, gazing into outer space.

ANSWER – SARAH MCLACHLAN
BENEDICTION
The gentle rain that melts away all doubts
all fears and judgements that are better to cast out
so that inside us we can rest our weary minds
allow our hearts to beat a rhythmic kind
of tune and dance until our heart's are quite content
allow in grace and benediction meant
to soothe our souls; allow our aching limbs to rest
acceptance is a blessing; let it do it's best
to heal us and to warm the chillness from our bones
so only light can enter and radiate outwards and atone
for all those times when we were not quite perfect
let slip away those things and start again
newborn; rejuvenated; without pain
focus clearly on the point of light and then refrain
from ever letting darkness overshadow what you know is true
that all things come to pass and so will I and so will you
right or wrong, so many petty little things
prevent us from being joyous; clip our fragile wings
soften; softer; soft and peaceful now
inhale; exhale a lighter pale of purest, white as snow
the smallest problems that we each allowed
focus on each breath; let passing thoughts float by
it's possible you know to let our troubles
slip away from us like clouds up in the sky
it's easy but you have to want to make it so
my mind was racing fast, but now it has no place to go
no place that it would rather be, you see
than resting in this moment's silence
it allows me to be me
it allows me to be free …

Willie Nelson:
In the twilight glow I see them
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again
Love is like a dyin' ember
Only memories remain
Through the ages I'll remember
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain
Some day when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand in hand again
In a land that knows no partin'
Blue…
I really like the shallow DOF in this image and the focus on the strings. And the bokeh on the right side, to me, almost looks like water but nothing got spilled on the puzzle! Thank you all because of you Flickr is one of my favorite places!
the very thing that your heart cries for
Is a woman's love-WillieNelson
A woman's love goes deeper than the man's
Into a place only she understands
It's a healing touch, it's a blade of a knife
But so much love, a woman's love that gives you life
A woman's love is stronger than a man's
But it can hold your heart in the palm of its hands
It'll keep the faith through the long dark night
It takes a woman's love, a woman's love to see the light
It'll make you fly, sink you like a stone
It'll leave you high or leave you all alone
If you believe her word, no matter what you've heard
Anybody say about it, there's no life for you without it now
If a woman's love ever finds your soul
It'll break your will and take control
'Cause the very thing that your heart cries for
Is a woman's love, this woman's love and nothing more
It's a woman love you're living for
for Flickr Friday, Timing
Willie Nelson in concert last night in Chatt.,Tn.
I took several photos of Willie,but this is my favorite.
I had waited years to see Willie, this was my first time. His voice was a little weak, and he missed a few licks on "Trigger", but what the heck. He's Willie Nelson, he's 84 years old and he is an icon of country music. I was thrilled to see this legendary entertainer, the Red Headed Stranger. I had a front row seat. It was a night I will never forget.
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
And maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
If I made you feel second best
Girl I'm sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind...

When we lost Fudge, our chocolate lab a year ago, Luna was crushed...she'd search high and low for him...we were all in such bad shape that the three of us jumped into the hoopty and pulled the land yacht all across America...once we returned home, we knew we had to find Lu a buddy and that's when Maya came along...
My dearest Flickr friends we have to continue our positive thoughts and vibes this year, if we all get together, we may well make a difference, so let's do it!!!!
It's your outlook on life that counts. If you take yourself lightly and don't take yourself too seriously, pretty soon you can find the humor in our everyday lives. And sometimes it can be a lifesaver.

With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
Willie isn't so bright with money at times. He sold the rights to Crazy for $50 so he could pay off a bar tab.
Willie was here in concert Friday night, and the ticket to his show was part of my birthday present from my husband. Guess who the BIGGEST fan is...
Well I might have gone fishin'
I got to thinkin' it over
The road to the river
Is a mighty long way
Well, it must be the season
No rhyme or no reason
I'm takin' it easy
It's my lazy day...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Took a few days off and headed up to the foothills to recharge and fish...drink beer...Had a wonderful time in the best camping site we've ever had...it was huge...no hookups so everything was perfect...now that I'm back in the grind, I've got so many pics from the last trip that I'm just going to start throwing things up...
He still going strong after all these years, and just look at Trigger, his guitar. It sounds great to this day.
Todavía sigue adelante con fuerza después de todos estos años. ¡Y su guitarra, Trigger! ¡Mírala! Suena fantástica hasta hoy en día.
When I see this reaction on his face, it makes me think that someone told him something like, "Hey weed is bad for you man." :)
Cuando veo este tipo de reacción en su rostro, me hace creer que alguien le dijera, "Oye, la marijuana es mala para ti." :)
Originally written in 1934 for Adios, Argentina, an unproduced 20th Century Fox film musical Don't Fence Me In with music by Cole Porter and lyrics by Robert Fletcher and Cole Porter.
It was recorded a couple of times by Roy Rogers nd then recorded by many others.
Here's the version by Willie Nelson and Leon Russell.

Thirty two years ago today, the Wisconsin State Fair was host to a pair of musical legends, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings. In this photo, they are singing one of their biggest hits together, Luckenbach Texas.
Mardi 8 Juillet – Après une dure journée de labeur, c’est juste ce qu’on veut (bon là c’est tôt le matin, mais franchement cela peut être le cas).
Hey! We had a great time last night. It's hard to take pics at a concert. But I will say that this time my pics turned out a LOT better. I won't be around much to comment all of my wonderful flickr friends for a little while. I have about 300 pics to go through, a hangover and I have to go get my kids soon.
I hope you all have a wonderful day! I'll be back to later to catch up on your streams. :D
Sunday morning walk around Austin, TX. I focussed on the street art of the moment and architecture of the South Congress Avenue area.
I miss you darlin' more and more everyday
As heaven would miss the stars above
With every heartbeat, I still think of you
And remember our faded love...

Gustine, Ca.
It is getting more and more difficult to see the autographs on Trigger, Willie's guitar, but I still can see quite well Roger Miller's signature.
Con el transcuro de los años, es más y más difícil ver los autógrafos de la gente que firmado Trigger, la guitarra de Willie. Pero claramente todavía se ve la firma Roger Miller.
Even at his age, there is still a twinkle in those eyes and there are still notes of his reddish hair in those long locks of braided hair that Willie has.
Incluso a su edad, todavía hay un brillo en esos ojos y todavía hay notas de su cabello rojizo en esos largos mechones de cabello trenzado que tiene Willie.
She's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Crying won't bring her back
The more that I cry
The faster the train flies
Further on down the track...

Tried to take this shot last September but workers were on the track with the swing arm open...
What used to be my home has changed to just a place to stay
A crumbling last resort when day is through
Sometimes between sundown and dawn somehow I find my way
To this Home Motel on Lost Love Avenue...
For 75 years, John T. Floore’s Country Store has hosted Texas and American music legends alike. This quintessential Texas Honky Tonk has hosted such legendary performers as Willie Nelson, Bob Wills, Ernest Tubb, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Jerry Lee Lewis, Merle Haggard, Ray Price, George Jones, Waylon Jennings, Dwight Yoakam, Lyle Lovett, Robert Earl Keen, B.B. King, Little Richard and many many more. Known by many as the musical “birthplace” of Willie Nelson, Willie immortalized John T. Floore in his hit recording “Shotgun Willie”. John T. Floore and Wille Nelson were partners in the original Willie Nelson Music Company. Texas Monthly listed John T. Floore Country Store as one of the “50 Things Every Texan Should Do”.
Opened in 1942 by Mr. John T. Floore, himself, John T. Floore Country Store was not a store at all, but a unique Texas Dance Hall and Cafe. Floore’s, long renowned for its world famous tamales and homemade bread, offers a full menu of great “Texas Cafe” style food, ice cold beer and and truly unique “Texccentric” atmosphere.
