We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I love you ♥

Remember your Creator
in the days of your youth,
before the days of trouble come
and the years approach when you will say,
"I find no pleasure in them"-
before the sun and the light
and the moon and the stars grow dark,
and the clouds return after the rain;
when the keepers of the house tremble,
and the strong men stoop,
when the grinders cease because they are few,
and those looking through the windows grow dim;
when the doors to the street are closed
and the sound of grinding fades;
when men rise up at the sound of birds,
but all their songs grow faint;
when men are afraid of heights
and of dangers in the streets;
when the almond tree blossoms
and the grasshopper drags himself along
and desire no longer is stirred.
Then man goes to his eternal home
and mourners go about the streets.
Remember him—before the silver cord is severed,
or the golden bowl is broken;
before the pitcher is shattered at the spring,
or the wheel broken at the well,
and the dust returns to the ground it came from,
and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
"Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Guru
"Everything is meaningless!"

Whilst out walking on the glorious South Downs yesterday morning I tragically misplaced my rose tinted glasses and got a very serious taste of reality.
But not everything can be, or needs to be, beautiful and, although this blot on the landscape is quite ugly, it is essential and actually quite interesting.
Just think yourself lucky that my all singing, all dancing, full frame Sony camera is not able to record aromas because this place is SMELLY!
After an ice storm last night, I woke to find a crystal wonderland outside. Everything was encased in a coating of ice. It's as if winter has not given up!
Single use camera. Good to a depth of 50 feet / 15 meters. Develop before 09/2016 it says. Oops! I'm a little late...
On pretty much everything, really.
Would it run and if it does, will it run this way? Will the Hoovers actually be on the front?
I've been out to shoot the Boston empties before and on many occasions it hasn't run and let's be honest, to miss this pair working would be on the bad side of 'just wrong'.
So they did run, as is witnessed by this moment of time captured in pixels.
On another good note, it was nice to be out photting with my Brother again, something which hasn't happened for a good while; Adam too.
Boston empties. Lea Marston. England. The world. The solar system. The galaxy. The Universe. And finally, a marble collectors bag, according to M.I.B.
So if sunlight is energy and all matter is energy...where do the petals end and where does the sunlight begin?

About
Dust storm. Brisbane, QLD, Australia.
We had an awesome dust storm sweep over Brisbane this morning, it lasted most of the day, while shooting during my lunch break I spotted probably 20 other photographers!
I shot most of my shots in cloudy WB, but I also shot a few auto WB, which cancels the red.
The subject is my work mate, Christian. Thanks mate, Christian also took a photo of me getting up this tree, see it here.
Also, just seen, here I am climbing this tree, as snapped by a local photographer.
I cut my elbow climbing this tree, but it was worth it!
Enjoy.

About Dust Storms
A dust storm or sandstorm is a meteorological phenomenon common in arid and semi-arid regions and arises when a gust front passes or when the wind force exceeds the threshold value where loose sand and dust are removed from the dry surface. Particles are transported by saltation and suspension, causing soil erosion from one place and deposition in another. The Sahara and drylands around the Arabian peninsula are the main source of airborne dust, with some contributions from Iran, Pakistan and India into the Arabian Sea, and China's storms deposit dust in the Pacific. It has been argued that recently, poor management of the Earth's drylands, such as neglecting the fallow system, are increasing dust storms from desert margins and changing both the local and global climate, and also impacting local economies.
The term sandstorm is used most often in the context of desert sandstorms, especially in the Sahara, when, in addition to fine particles obscuring visibility, a considerable amount of larger sand particles are blown closer to the surface. The term dust storm is more likely to be used when finer particles are blown long distances, especially when the dust storm affects urban areas.
The 2009 Australian dust storm swept across Australia on 22–23 September 2009. The capital, Canberra, experienced it on 22 September before it reached the cities of Sydney and Brisbane the following day.
The dust storm was described by the Bureau of Meteorology as a "pretty incredible event" that was "the worst in at least 70 years, if not the history of the state". The storm measured more than 500 kilometres in width and 1,000 kilometres in length and covered dozens of towns and cities in two states. Estimates suggest that during the peak of the storm, the Australian continent was losing 75,000 tonnes of dust per hour off the NSW coast north of Sydney. Comparisons were drawn with a "nuclear winter", Armageddon and the planet Mars.The cloud was visible from space. According to the New South Wales regional director of the Bureau of Meteorology, the cause was an “intense north low-pressure area” which “picked up a lot of dust from the very dry interior of the continent”. The dust storm coincided with other extreme weather conditions which affected the cities of Adelaide and Melbourne.
The phenomenon was reported around the world. The Weather Channel's Richard Whitaker said: "This is unprecedented. We are seeing earth, wind and fire together" It was thought the red dust could travel as far as New Zealand.
I've been really busy lately, and the only time I get to shoot is 30 minutes here, and 30 minutes there, so the Dam is a perfect place for me to go for such short sessions. Plus, I'm often coming home from work, so I can be in my work clothes and not get too dirty. That is why my feed has been pretty much nothing but Osprey lately, as they are everywhere and everything at the dam right now.
And I have to share something that really irked me yesterday......I had a fisherman take over my spot! He comes up behind me, asks me if I had gotten my shot, and then just sets up right next to me. I haven't witnessed something this rude in a long, long time. I'm pretty non-confrontational, so I let it go and moved 20 feet to my left, but seriously? I always keep my distance from the fisherman out of respect, and I would hope they would do the same for me. Would he have done that to another fisherman?

Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, invitations and awards, my friends...!
Best seen on back - press L or click on image above.
Timing is everything, a split second later and I would have missed the water droplet falling from this loon's beak. That's why we've got high speed shooting now I guess, so we don't miss the slightest detail.
August 11, 2012
Old, never made the cut.
But looking through my past work now, I realize that this photograph means more to me right now than it did back in July.
Everything about this symbolizes something for me, especially the blurry, wilted flowers.
How is everyone doing? You're all beautiful, I hope you know that.
Things have changed so much. I'm just trying to get some of the happy things of old back. Starting with photography.
And that's going to be easier to do now, since today I recieved my 35mm f/1.8 in the mail! Cut my finger pretty bad on the cardboard box (only me), but nevertheless I am so happy and simply cannot wait to try it out. But that will have to wait, because as of now I must get ready for a New Year's party with some of my dearest friends.
I hope you all had a fabulous 2012, and I'm so sorry I wasn't here to share some precious moments of it with you. But I will try my hardest to be around in this coming year.
2012 has had so many up's and down's. And I know, that's true for everyone and it's as cliche as it gets. But I'm not good at putting my personal thoughts out there in simple words, as if I were talking to the person next to me.
I don't know. I can't say that I wouldn't trade this year if I had the choice. So many changes. I now attend a public school, for one thing. I don't like change. I don't like having to adjust. And I definitely have had to this year.
If I say one thing, it's that 2012 has aged me. I have had to hold my chin high and be mature beyond my years in so many situations that I was so unfamiliar with. I will miss every second of my extendend childhood. It lasted much longer than most. And for this, I am truly grateful.
Happy new year!

I assume this Monarch Butterfly was taking a drink from the dew on this yellow rose. A misty morning in the Rose Garden at the Huntington Library had gven way to sunshine !!
A Brighter Version, to see more detail... perhaps.
The style of the pfoto references the portrait, 'Las Meninas' by Diego Valázquez, which has been thought of as having a photographic style. I snuck myself into an alcove, mimicing Valázquezes self inclusion, gazing at the viewer.
The other detail is meant to offer a commentary on the internal world of the cafe and its inhabitants as well as a commentary on the world of Bath outside the cafe.
