HOARDER'S DREAM ~ Excelsior Springs, Missouri ~ Copyright ©2015 Bob Travaglione ~ ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ~ www.FoToEdge.com
When I went out last month for a night of star photography, I chose an area a few miles west of Ahshislepah and south of a place called Valley of Dreams. VoD has a dense concentration of hoodoos and rock forms. It is not easy to get to; you have to cross Navajo Reservation land to reach it, and most if not all of the formations are on Navajo land.
I was surprised to see three large SUVs parked nearby and a row of tents set up in front of the formations. I walked over to find a group of Chinese folks on a tour of the American Southwest. Only a couple of them spoke English. I asked how they knew about this place but only learned that one member of their group knew of it. Probably from the Internet, I'm surmising.
Members of this group seemed to belong to the Chinese upper middle class. There was a woman dressed as a cowgirl -- boots and white stetson, tight jeans and frilly blouse. (Think Daisy Duke with black hair.) She was posing and getting photographed a lot. I noticed that some of them were trying to climb on top of the formations, apparently to be photographed by their companions. I told them that not only was this personally dangerous, it could destroy a formation that was thousands of years old. They seemed to understand and stopped.
Someday the Navajos might block access to the area. More likely, they might charge for a permit. I can't say that I disagree with that.
This morning on the Blue Ridge Parkway - That's Looking Glass Rock in the FG.
"'scape" could mean "landscape", or "escape"...
This is not "enhanced", the color is from the early morning light on the clouds.
My dreams are now as nightmares,
as I wander through and through,
My mind is now corrupted,
as I wander through the new,
New doors have opened to me,
and I've paused then to step in,
wondering, and puzzling,
at all that lies within,
I step then through the blackness
of the open portal there,
and I step out into wonder,
that I never then could share,
I meet then a real new sight,
as the colors swirl by,
I see a field,a whole new world,
and I step forth now, but nigh!
What are these things that dwell here,
oh black creatures of the night,
these skeletons and wanderers,
who blunder in the blight.
A road now falls before me,
going down into the field,
I see bright blooms around me,
and I hope they are my shield,
A shield now from the danger,
that now dwells within my mind,
among the red, and white, and pink,
I know not what I'll find.
Things rise up from the ocean;
sea of Red, and pink, and black,
and I wander on the road there,
looking now for what I lack,
my dreams have drawn me to here,
to this field ever bright,
And carry ever onward,
though my mind's not always right.
I walk now through the meadow,
and I wonder what it means
to ever, ever wander,
in this endless Field of Dreams.
All I want is a dream life,
Life with the ones I love playing all day long
Laying back by the waterside,
With no where to go and the music on
All I want is my dream life to be my real life
How could that be wrong?
All we have is this life, so make it be what you want
All I want is a dream life, life

i will say foot tattoos hurt the worst especially if you decided to get them both completed on the same day. i had these done in 2010
Finalmente mi sono comprata il cavalletto!! :D
E tanto per partire mi son fatta qualche autoscatto piuttosto classico,con un pò di postproduzione (veloce) dopo.
This is Dream On with a variety of solids. The pattern is the Awesome Quilt by Jamie Mueller, it is from the Moda Bakeshop. This is my first quilt for 2011.
Sometimes we embrace dreams so much that reality seems just like another dream. Don't let inception fool you with reality and fiction.
for years/decades it was merely a forlorn hope that I would ever be able to appear like this, in a public setting; but my dream has come true :)
