October
O hushed October morning mild,
Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
Tomorrow's wind, if it be wild,
Should waste them all.
The crows above the forest call;
Tomorrow they may form and go.
O hushed October morning mild,
Begin the hours of this day slow.
Make the day seem to us less brief.
Hearts not averse to being beguiled,
Beguile us in the way you know.
Release one leaf at break of day;
At noon release another leaf;
One from our trees, one far away.
Retard the sun with gentle mist;
Enchant the land with amethyst.
Slow, slow!
For the grapes' sake, if the were all,
Whose elaves already are burnt with frost,
Whose clustered fruit must else be lost—
For the grapes' sake along the all.
Robert Frost

While many of these people wouldn't proclaim themselves artists, I like to refer visitors of my photostream to some awesome photos that exist in others'. Please visit my favorites from other flickr artists. These people are amazing, and most photos are of places like this.
The Crespi Lacrosse team is walking around their home track on February 14th to raise money and awareness for breast cancer. My boyfriend Blake Gaytan who is on the team told me about their cause and I really think what they are doing is an amazing thing. I along with the Lacrosse team as well as many other participants am going to also walk for this cause. Since I know that all of you cannot be there to walk with us I would really love if you could visit the following website to get more information and pledge.

Aware of my presence, this beautiful bird locked eyes with me and did not budge allowing me to get the shot and many others, Thanks for stopping,
Part of a set I did on self-injury. No, it's not real. Corn syrup and food coloring. But it's a real situation that countless people have experienced.
It was cathartic to do these. I wanted to turn my painful past experiences into something beautiful.
Apparently a friggin' TON of people have viewed this, and yet... no comments.
Come on, guys.

you tell a kid not to do something, and their going to do it.
all they wanted to do all weekend was swim.
even though austin had a leech on his leg and was scared that every lake was infested with them.
there was an island in the middle of this lake, with a bridge leading up to it. my dad and I decided to leave them alone, we told them we'd be back in an hour, and they should be ready to go.
a.k.a. not drenched from head to toe.
we were off fishing and I kept wondering how they were doing on the other side of the lake, we could hear them yelling and screaming.
they must've been okay.
the more I started to think about it, I remembered how scared austin was about going into the mountains, he was sure that a bear or cougar was going to eat him, and when we got there > there was a sign saying "be bear aware" because bears often came near the lake during summer.
well here we are in summer.
on the other side of the lake.
it was a 10 minute walk back to the truck atleast.
then a 5 minute drive.
we got back to where they were, and all the cars were gone, everybody had left.
it wasn't a good time of day for catching anything, the fish weren't feeding.
and here they were, 2 kids soaking wet in a lake where bears often visited.
they came up to the truck, and I grabbed my camera.
my brother is glaring at my father.
I'm glad I caught it.
he's a funny kid.
god, did I have a good time..

I have been aware of this 131 for a while now as I happened upon it on Streetview, but never got the chance to visit it. By coincidence, a few weeks ago I was going to a gig in Brixton and the Satnav diverted me down the residential road where this lives. I got a few photos of it, but it was dark so I struggled to get a good pic. Yesterday I was back in the area so I revisited it to get few photos in the daylight, to show off its originality properly, as such! Full credit to the (presumably elderly) owner for keeping this going. It really is a great survivor, which shows what rarities can still be spotted in London. I'd imagine this is the last Fiat 131 left in daily use in the UK, although you never know what else is hidden out there! I wonder if the owner is aware of the cars rarity, or is it just their 'runabout'... It is rare that I take a side shot of a car, but I had to with this Fiat. The background also made it suitable for a side pic!

Today 17 babies will die, the tragic victims of stillbirth or neonatal death. This is a statistic that is seeing no signs of decreasing, and behind each number is a family rocked to the foundations by the death of their baby.
This shocking figure, the loss of 6,500 babies every year, is something the public is not generally aware of. Most people think stillbirths don’t happen in the 21st century. Yet stillbirth in the UK is 10 times more common than cot death.
At Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity, we feel this number of deaths is totally unacceptable. We have launched the Why17? campaign to raise awareness of this devastating loss and to ask the question:
“Why are 17 babies a day dying and what can be done to halt this national tragedy?”
“I just want to raise awareness of stillbirth. I had no idea that this could happen to me

Where there is awareness there is hope .
When I was 17 years old my whole world was shattered because my
dear Mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. The Doctor told her
she had come just in time and that if she had waited just 6 more months
it could have been too late to help her. My Mother endured chemotherapy,
and radiotherapy. She lost her hair, self-confidence and her left breast.
It is because of this very traumatic chapter in my life that I am today a nurse
at Stavanger University Hospital, Norway.
Cancer is a heavy and huge diagnosis for a patient and their family to accept.
There are a couple of big problems, in my opinion, that largely affect many people adversely. The first, as I see it, is the small number of Prevention Campaigns there are. More of these campaigns could educate and push people to use the methods and take the time to self-check themselves routinely. In many cases patients with various types of cancer the time and experience of the treatments can be fairly easy and effective if they are diagnosed in time. Another problem area I see is that
people wait too long to seek medical attention and then they must face the trauma when it's too late. I would also like to point out that it is a misconception that men do not develop breast cancer when in fact, men are equally confronted with it. It is unclear why this subject remains somewhat "taboo" still to today.
I am representing 2 organizations with this challenge. They are Breast Cancer Prevention (www.cancer.org) and Cherries On Top (shop.cherriesontop.org/). Cherries On Top is a globally targeted fund raising organization for research support and information campaigns in all types of cancer that affects Kids, Men and Women. I would like to plan an event to benefit both of these great causes. My plan on how to make this happen would involve friends of mine that are Second Life Voice Entertainers,
DJs, Designers, Agency Owners, Bloggers, and Models. Anyone and everyone I can ask to help I would try to secure for to make charity concerts, shows and other ideas that may come to mind. If these things can save someone's life it's worth whatever it takes to make it happen.
I was scouting out some vantage points at Ocean beach today when I saw someone sitting very very still for long periods of time out by the water. The marine layer was kind of blah today, but the sound of the surf and the sight of the huge rocks in the distance made for a very entrancing scene, so I can understand why someone would choose to meditate in this setting.
All comments, critiques and feedback both positive and negative welcome.
I'm aware, of course, that the rapeseed plant isn't strictly speaking a flower. However, since I'm very tolerant, I'm still using this photo of a field at the entrance to Neustadt in Saxony for today's floral greeting.
And since there are blossoms in abundance here, this is also the theme of my wish for you this week.
I wish you abundance, not of material things, but of good feelings.
Following the motto "To be is more important than to have," I wish you a week filled with an abundance of love, passion, enthusiasm, inspiration, happiness, inner peace and of course, beautiful moments, great conversations, and friendly encounters.
Ich bin mir natürlich bewusst, das die Rapspflanze streng genommen keine Blume ist Doch da ich sehr tollerant bin, verwende ich dieses Foto von einem Feld am Ortseingang von Neustadt in Sachsen trotzdem für den heutigen Blumengruß.
Und da hier Blüten im Überfluß zu sehen sind, ist dies auch das Thema meinen Wunsches an Euch für diese Woche.
Ich wünsche Euch Überfluß, jedoch nicht an materiellen Dingen sondern an guten Gefühlen.
Nach dem Motte "Sein ist wichtiger als haben" wünsche ich Euch eine Woche voller Überfluß an Liebe, Leidenschaft, Begeisterung, Inspiration, Glück, inneren Frieden und natürlich auch schönen Momenten, tollen Gesprächen, und freundlichen Begegnungen.
It is bitterly cold outside, and I took few photos inside. Now I used Topcor UV 50/2 for few days and
my impression about this lens changed a bit. If lighting is good, ISO low and I do not focus on things that are closer to the edge than the centre of the image, it is sharp even wide open. At least sharp enough for bokeh or portrait photography.
