And when we first came here
We were cold and we were clear
With no colors on our skin
'Till you let the spectrum in
Say my name
And every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again

"Don't be afraid of the dark
It's just a shadow going across your heart
Don't be afraid of the dark
Love can lead you like a star..."
~Clarence Bucaro
Dark country roads and clear dark skies. I knew as soon as I saw the first star appear in the sky that it was going to be a late night. I had to stick around. I only needed to find a recognizable place to stop. And I did. I'll be going back, I'm sure. (again and again!)

My wife is. She will freeze on the spot at the sight of a six inch long dead earth worm on the path and dissolve into uncontrollable spasms and floods of tears. So she won't walk across to Castle Tioram. In fact she won't even look at the picture. So what is keeping my flickr friends from coming to this part of the world when they will so readily go to Skye and what for?
Morning fog and strange shapes are revealed on the riverside ... are you afraid !?
Don´t be and have a Great Christmas day !!! ^_*

That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, and aeroplanes
And Lenny Bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs,
Don't mis-serve your own needs
Speed it up a notch, speed, grunt, no, strength,
The ladder starts to clatter
With a fear of height, down, height
Wire in a fire, represent the seven games
And a government for hire and a combat site
Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry
With the Furies breathing down your neck
Team by team, reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped
Look at that low plane, fine, then
Uh oh, overflow, population, common group
But it'll do, save yourself, serve yourself
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed
Tell me with the Rapture and the reverent in the right, right
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam fight, bright light
Feeling pretty psyched
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
Six o'clock, T.V. hour, don't get caught in foreign tower
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn
Lock him in uniform, book burning, bloodletting
Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate
Light a candle, light a motive, step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crush, uh oh
This means no fear, cavalier, renegade and steering clear
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline
It's the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
I feel fine (I feel fine)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
The other night I drifted nice continental drift divide
Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein
Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs
Birthday party, cheesecake, jellybean, boom
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam but neck, right, right
(from The Raven)
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visiter," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door—
Only this and nothing more."

JOEPIE: I'm almost there! I wish Uncle Jeroen was here, I'm a little, really just a little bit afraid of the dark.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JOEPIE: Ik ben bijna bij Peter! Ik wou dat oom Jeroen hier was, ik ben een beetje, echt maar een héél klein beetje bang in het donker.
Hello everyone, I'm afraid it's not good news, Chip will be staying in overnight tonight and we can collect him in the morning.
He does have cancer and it has spread to his liver, The vets have told us we could have 3 months max but most probably it will be 6 weeks. We will make the right decision when the time is right.
He can't do beaches etc until after Christmas, nearer to New Year but when he can rest assured he will be. We've tried to give him the best life we possibly could and will continue to do so until we no longer can. He will be getting more treats, Chicken and his favourite, sausages cooked for him daily.
As you can imagine we are very upset and I don't really know what else to say. We would like to thank all the staff at Williams Veterinary Surgeons both in Cemmaes road and Tywyn, especially Amy who was happy for me to crumple in front of her today and showed me great kindness, thanks guys for doing everything you could.
When we arrived in Dyrhólaey, there was a strong wind with heavy gusts. We were afraid that the wind would make long exposures impossible. Nevertheless, I lay flat on the ground and tried to use the breaks between the gusts of wind with the shortest possible exposure time ... And it worked and I was really happy!

Location :Just Another Tequilla Sunrise, Isle of Love (162, 94, 24) - Moderate
I haven't seen the sunrise in several days, now, so I've been anxious to go regardless of the conditions. Today, I made it to Pittock Mansion to see a small fog layer behind the city. Soon after I arrived, a few photographers joined me to capture the sunrise. Unfortunately, a heavy fog layer rolled in from the North-East and blocked our view just before sunrise. I took this time to practice some other landscape shots until I finally found myself in the foggy forest. A short climb later I set up my tripod, wedged between 2 or 3 trees, and walked across the mossy log. By setting my camera on the time-lapse function, I was able to take photos every couple seconds while I got into position. I'll definitely have to try this spot out again when it's foggy enough.
Lightroom:
Increased clarity, Small increase to detail, contrast, exposure, highlights and whites.
Decreased shadows, blacks

E. Forsythe NWR - near Atlantic City, NJ. The scene was serene, but the many very small and irritating bugs were brutal! I was afraid to change lenses due to fear of 30 little bugs flying into the camera!

Anchors are onboard, sails are tense by the most favorable wind, the strom has started already and will blow us faster todward the unknown ... our journey, interrupted by the wreckage of the previous ship, can now start again ... with you, at my side, I'M NOT AFRAID of whatever lays ahead of us!
On a gorgeous summer evening, westbound train Nº603 crosses the mighty Rivière-du-Milieu trestle, bound for Senneterre.
Built in 1913 for the National Transcontinental Railway, it was once a vital link on the NTR's Quebec City - Winnipeg mainline, but the glory days of transcontinental passenger and freight trains are long gone.
Often we are most afraid of ourselves. If we can dare face our own complexity, rather than succumbing to an internalized dualism in which we flee from facing bits of our own selves that we dislike, we can discover a deep tranquillity. We peep into the complexity of our conflicting desires and impulses, acknowledge all that we are and so can be at peace with ourselves. Simon Tugwell OP urges that the way to peace is the acceptance of truth. Any bit of us that we refuse to accept will be our enemy, forcing us into defensive postures. And the discarded pieces of ourselves will rapidly find incarnation in those around us. Not all hostility is due to this, but it is one major factor in our inability to cope with other people, that they represent to us precisely those elements in ourselves which we have refused to acknowledge.

AND I'M NOT AFRAID TO USE IT!!!!
So today I saw a photo of a RL model who I find particularly luscious (Dorian Reeves is his name) and was intrigued by the striking lighting technique the photographer (Brent Chua) had used. I figured I'd see if I could mimic or work with that in SL... and I figured I'd try making up a pose similar to the model's. I am going to definitely try this technique with other avatars- just was trying it out on myself.
For your comparison, here's the original editorial shoot: fashionablymale.net/2013/12/09/dorian-reeves-by-brent-chua/
Used Photoshop to tweak contrast and brightness a bit, to crop, and to give a gaussian blur and then an unsharp mask to the image- everything else about this is Straight Outta SL. Pretty damn impressed with myself, I must admit.
Oh, the sculpty hair in question is from Waka & Yuki, and is named Agata. They've been out of SL for most of 10 years, sadly- I'd have loved to see what they would've done with mesh!
and I'm afraid you'll have to see a few too many shots of the birds.
Low and behold, this never happened to me before (unless I can't remember). Unfortunately my backyard has gotten away from me with my bad health, and there is a tall weed just covered with seeds. Well ...
last week, in flies a scurry of birds. Ran for my binoculars and camera and look. A beautiful male House Finch (we're just starting with him). I used to have them in God's backyard garden when I first got here and had tons of feeders up. But not for a long, long time.
There was such a flurry of activity, and they were all pigging out on the fresh, natural seeds! It was awesome.
Shot through my dirty backdoor, unfortunately, but I was afraid to go outside and possibly frighten them away. Oh my ... I enjoyed this little Creation adventure in my backyard. Thank You, Jesus.
Sorry for you, but more shots to follow!
God, hear me!
They told me you didn't exist, and I trusted them like a jerk.
But last night, in the garnet hole, I saw your heaven.
Suddenly, I realized they were lying to me.
If I tried to take a good look
on the things you created,
I'd understand right away that those
they denied that the cat is cat.
It's strange that I had to
get to this hell,
so I can have time to see your face
I like you so much...
That's what I wanted you to know.
There's going to be a terrible battle coming up.
Who knows?
Maybe I'll come to your place tonight.
We weren't good friends,
And I'm asking, my God,
will you be waiting for me at the door?
Look, this is how I cry!
I'm the one who's here going to start whining!
If only I'd known you sooner...
let's go! We have to go now!
It's ridiculous:
When I met you,
I'm not afraid to die anymore.
goodbye!
A prayer found in the backpack of a soldier who died in 1944 at the Battle of Montecassino ...
I'm not afraid to take a stand Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm Just let you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road
espero que vc goste amore hehe (ele é dificil de blendar /corre)
Lucas amanhã eu posto #EUACHO kkkkkkkkkkkkk

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow
Show me a smile then
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow
Can't remember, when I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors
True colors are shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow
