There's something about being near the ocean that seems to put things in perspective. It's so vast, and the enormity of it makes us think of our lives, our plans, hopes, dreams, relationships and desires.
Looking at Alaric taking his shots while on the beach at Vero Beach, FL, I was reminded of how not long ago in the grand scheme of things, I had stood on beaches like this and dreamt of the future, hoping for all the same kind of things my nephew does now. Life can be unkind, but it can be kind as well, and sometimes it takes a lifetime to be able to distinguish the difference between the two. What we think we want isn't always what is going to be best for us, and even if it could be, some dreams are just too big and life's obstacles and sense of humor at thwarting us can dash those dreams like waves on the sand.
I have confidence in Alaric's dreams, though. He is good at what he does and is training for a backup career just in case. He's smart as well as gifted. He is one of the wisest young people I've ever known. For some time now, he has actually prayed for wisdom, something few teenagers ever even think of doing!
As the years go by and life takes us away from each other, I will remember this one day we shared, driving for hours only to get to our destination late, eating great pie at Village Inn on "Free Pie Day", (the reason we were later than we'd hoped!) and me learning to adjust the light in my camera well enough to capture this shot, which I will always treasure!
a pic of my dream diary . I have not been writing in it much , because I have been having school dreams, which are boring . Like today i had a dream that I came to school , but i didn't have my new class schedule so i was just sitting waiting for the counselor to find out my classes ,(i'm worried that one the first day of school my counselor won't let me get out out college biology which i don't need anymore ) but the cousler never came and i just sat in the hallway all day . That is extremely boring.
I have about 63 dreams in my dream diary and i've been writing in it for 2 years or so , only the interesting dreams go in there ,i don't add in nightmares . I have also been having nightmares because we have had a heatwave , i had a dream that i was playing guitar hero for my life and every-time i would mess up this purple poison would spill into the room and it felt like fire where ever it touched . That ended badly cuz i'm bad at guitar hero .
Dream away in colors.
A small small project is started !
All friends in Japan are kindly invited. Sorry for not able to handle overseas flickr friends but I will keep dreaming, may be it can come true soon. Enjoy dreaming, friends there.

I've been itching lately to do a diptych...but none of the images I currently have in my 'post to Flickr' folder lend themselves very well to such a project. So I had to dig back... and back, and back. The image on the right, of the lilac branch, isn't all that ancient - it's from the spring/summer of 2006. The image on the left, however, is from 2003. It's me, but a five-and-a-half year younger version of me.
Anyway. I do love diptychs. They're like minature stories, in the form of photos instead of words. I need to dream up more of them.
Oh, and, I'm not really ready for spring yet. I just have dreams of it sometimes. The flowers, the blooming cherry trees, the thick, soft green grass... ahh.
Dreams & Reality they both lead to each other.. Reality start with a dream.. Dream ends with reality.. :'')
Written by me.. :''))
I'll stop flickering for a while..
Dreams. Turned out every moment of every hour...it's all that is left. And the fight goes on....to keep any of them from turning.
The large stance of Douglas Fir, Pine, Cedar, Spruce, Hemlock, in the background covers about two blocks in width and about a block in breadth. We call it the Fairy Forest (to my Grands) ... and in March is it is where the Leprechauns hang out. It's quite dense once inside and you really feel like you are in another world. The quiet is deafening, the air is thick with fresh evergreen scents (imagine being inside the Christmas Tree or inside your cedar chest!) Good for your lungs, good for your soul, good for your heart.
Years ago, I took two of my grands there and we spent the good part of an hour each time. They ran, cavorted, used down logs as balance beams, sat inside the hollow tree, found evidence of Leprechauns ... yes really, =0). We learned about growth, decay, life, death, age and nourishment. I loved being a part of that with them, I love that this forest is close to me.
This is Walter's forest ... that's the owners name. He pops by my house now and then to use my driveway to access it so he can go check out what might yield new firewood, damage that might have been caused from the kids, and the like. He brings us homemade cookies (by him) as a thank you ... my, are they ever good. He bought the property eons ago to build a house for his wife then she didn't want to live there so it sits as it was some forty years ago. The area has always been quite forested and still is in some parts. I love that about here. I can get this and be near to the ocean ... I'm good forever!
I haven't been in there for quite some time. Maybe this spring I'll take my 4 year old granddaughter in. There are fallen logs, hollow trees, trails made by the high school kids nearby, brunt out stumps (vandalism), a trail that leads to the next road over, small wildlife, and the canopy is almost thick enough you cannot see the sky. When the sun shines, it casts rays through the branches and places dapples of light here and there .... it really is magnificent. If I go in late spring then there will be new life sprouting up ... sooooo green. I think next time I go, I'll take a little bucket to bring back some cedar chips for my closet ... naturally made =0).
Until then I can dream. I must look back at my archives to find some images from within ... I get so busy with everything else I forget I did have my camera with me a couple of times with the kids.
Today is a difficult,
The weekend has been rare
My life is a black hole
But there is always a ray of sunshine
Only this time is very hidden
I will try to upload an encouraging phrase weekly with each photo.
I dedicate this photo to keira, because it is a pleasure to have you as a friend
Thanks for reading ^ ^
i will try to coment to your photos as soon as possible

Hoy es un dia dificil,
El fin de semana ha sido raro
Mi vida es un agujero negro
Pero siempre hay un rayo de sol
Solo que esta vez esta muy escondido
Intentaré subir una frase alentadora con cada foto semanal.
Dedico esta foto a keira, porque es un placer tenerle como amiga
Gracias por leerme ^^
intentaré comentaros las fotos lo antes posible
"Senza sogno non siamo che poveri esseri umani con braccia prive di forza, gambe che corrono inutilmente, degli occhi vuoti. Il sogno è ciò che ci avvicina a Dio, alle stelle, è ciò che ci rende più grandi, più belli, unici al mondo ..."

"Without dreams we are just poor human beings with arms devoid of energy, legs that run aimlessly, empty eyes. Dreams bring us closer to God, they make us greater, handsomer, unique ...."

inspired by childhood dream of a spooky barn boatride featuring animatronic and costumed characters loosely themed on 70s vintage fast food motifs.
I should mention that this was not a nightmare, but a thoroughly fun child's dream where we were riding through a spooky barn on boats and being served hamburgers, fries, shakes and other common fast food items.
One of the earliest dreams I can recall.
This is such an inspiring guy. I love his music for a while now an I was fortunate to see him live on his 1st time (and only) on Portugal.
I can't wait for his album (coming soon), I just can't stop thinking about the songs I've heard once, that are not available yet. It's been driving me crazy.
And it's not an habbit.

Well, this picture is from last summer, I've been editing old ones. I've been lazy lately, not shooting as much as I wanted. Still unemployed, but working (it's the rules now), and not having great perspectives of finding a "real" job. This is not inspiring :P
I'll try to try harder :D
Oh, this edit was made by my favorite editing program (after cs and lightroom, course!) lo-fi retro by wingnut. I've downloaded the trial and loved it so much for lo-fi style that I'll buy it as soon as I can. It's worth it for the speed and the look.
Lo-fi lovers should try it ♥
getting ready for the school fundraiser/auction. we are making the centerpieces....and i have no idea how these will turn out, but we'll see!! i'll post a pic when one is completed. as for now, i thought their handwriting looked pretty cool.
The crimson lips, the honeycomb eyes, the shining hair and glowing skin. It all goes away in the dreams suddenly the lips are blood red, the eyes smoldering, the hair tangled and the skin broken. The trees chase her, the wind hurts her, the light is gone.
Hello Flickr.
Long time no see...
This photo has made me a bit nervous as I am not sure about self-portraits...
I was reading an article online which identifies how colours are related to our dreams. I was also toying with these new synthetic chinese balls which are very common now in market as a photogrpahic subject.
Just tagged them together and presented before you.
