Introduction
Many years ago the stories of heavenly
visitors has a great impact in our world today of which have been revealed in the
word of God two parallel and beautiful dramas unfold:
There is the Upper Story. God
is real, He is present, and He is working on our behalf.
Heaven is breaking into the world
more than we recognize, and the story of God’s seeking love, perpetual grace,
and longing for relationship with ordinary people is breathtaking.
The other one is Lower Story.
We live on earth. We make mistakes, run from God, and resist His overtures of
love. Sometimes we get so mired in the Lower Story that we fail to recognize
God’s presence breaking into our world.
We
forget that the God of Heaven longs to have a growing relationship, a
friendship, with us – and ultimately sent His Son, Jesus, who died for our sins
and rose again to restore that relationship for all who will believe. The reason for exit strategy in life
is that the end is often exactly that, the end. But with Jesus, the end can become the beginning.
This is my homemade strawberry (virgin) daiquiri cupcake with a lemon curd filling. These scrumptious cupcakes are a favorite among kids and adults alike. The flavor is fresh tart strawberry and lemon, which does not taste like the (probably) familiar to you strawberry boxed cake mix (which I don't really think tastes like strawberry at all).

St. Paul the Apostle is a very revered saint in the Sicilian town of Palazzolo Acreide, the feast in his honor is celebrated on two occasions (very important periods if referring to peasant civilization), on 29 June (the day I took this photo story this year 2023) date of his martyrdom, and January 25, the date of his conversion to Christianity. The "summer party" of June 29, begins with a particular collection of donut-shaped bread (in Sicilian called "cuddura"), donated by the villagers and collected on a cart, this is the "round of bread", these loaves (called "di San Paolo") have decorations that recall snakes: the reference is always to San Paolo, considered the protector from the poisonous bites of vipers, this is the ancestral legacy of an ancient peasant civilization, the wheat harvest period that coincides with the feast, it makes working in sunburnt fields particularly dangerous; once there were characters to whom supernatural gifts were attributed, they were called "ciarauli", capable of protecting from the venomous bites of the viper (This year, a very nice man of Palazzolo Acreide, who was also present last year, was present at the feast to recall these ancient figures. Instead of little snakes, as was once the custom, he had with him a very calm python, also because it was full). The procession takes the name of "sciuta", with reference to the "exit" from the basilica of San Paolo of two floats, first the float comes out with the relic of the saint, carried on the shoulders by the devotees, immediately after, at 13.00 o'clock the exit of the float takes place with the ancient statue of Saint Paul holding a sword in his hand (the iconography represents him with the sword for two reasons, he was beheaded with a sword stroke, and because he, referring to the word of God, defined it more effective and sharper than a double-bladed sword), at this point they begin among the most spectacular and evocative pyrotechnic games that I have ever seen, we witness a phantasmagoric and kaleidoscopic explosion of colors made with enormous colored confetti and with colored ribbons about two meters long called 'nzareddi, which recall the shape and movement of snakes. During the procession we witness the rite of children who, completely naked, are taken by their parents by the expert hands of two devotees present on the float, they are thus placed in front of St. Paul to ask for his intercession and protection, sometimes these children are adorned with paper money, in fact, the donation of money is part of the rites that accompany the procession. Among these rites is the vow of the "bare shoulder" made by devout bearers, and that of women who walk barefoot by vow. The procession with the two vare then arrives, as a sign of devotion, in the church of the Annunziata.
San Paolo Apostolo è un santo molto venerato nel paese siciliano di Palazzolo Acreide, la festa in suo onore viene celebrata in due occasioni (periodi molto importanti se riferiti alla civiltà contadina), il 29 giugno (giorno in cui ho realizzato quest’anno 2023 questo foto-racconto) data del suo martirio, ed il 25 gennaio, data della sua conversione al cristianesimo. La “festa estiva” del 29 giugno, inizia con una particolare raccolta di pane a forma di ciambella (in siciliano detta “cuddura”), donato dai paesani e raccolto su di un carretto, questo è il “giro del pane”, questi pani (detti “di San Paolo”) presentano delle decorazioni che richiamano i serpenti: il riferimento è sempre a San Paolo, ritenuto il protettore dai morsi velenosi delle vipere, questo è il retaggio ancestrale di un’antica civiltà contadina, il periodo della mietitura che coincide con la festa, rende particolarmente pericoloso il lavoro nei campi arsi dal sole; una volta esistevano dei personaggi a cui si attribuivano doti sovrannaturali, erano chiamati “ciarauli”, capaci di proteggere dai morsi velenosi della vipera (quest’anno era presente nella festa, a rievocare queste antiche figure, un simpaticissimo Palazzolese, presente anche l'anno scorso, che al posto delle bisce, come si usava una volta, aveva con se un docilissimo pitone, anche perchè satollo). La processione prende il nome di “sciuta”, con riferimento alla “uscita” dalla basilica di San Paolo di due vare, dapprima esce la vara con la reliquia del santo, portata in spalla dai devoti, subito dopo, alle 13,00 in punto avviene l’uscita della vara con l’antica statua di San Paolo che stringe una spada in pugno (l’iconografia lo rappresenta con la spada per due motivi, egli fu decapitato con un colpo di spada, e perché egli, riferendosi alla parola di Dio, la definiva più efficace e più tagliente di una spada a doppia lama), a questo punto iniziano tra i più spettacolari e suggestivi giochi pirotecnici che io che io abbia mai visto, si assiste ad una fantasmagorica e caleidoscopica esplosione di colori realizzati con enormi coriandoli colorati e con dei nastri colorati lunghi circa due metri chiamati ‘nzareddi, che richiamano la forma ed il movimento dei serpenti. Durante la processione si assiste al rito dei bambini che, completamente nudi, vengono presi dai genitori dalle esperte mani di due devoti presenti sulla vara, vengono così messi al cospetto di San Paolo a chiederne la sua intercessione e protezione, a volte questi bimbi sono adornati con della carta moneta, infatti la donazione di denaro fa parte dei riti che accompagnano la processione. Tra questi riti c’è il voto della “spalla nuda” fatto dai devoti portatori, e quello delle donne che per voto camminano scalze. La processione con le due vare giunge poi, in segno di devozione, nella chiesa dell’Annunziata.

Heavenly Gardens - live your dream today.
This one has a touch of the dystopian to it. I didn't originally intend to go for the run down look but a lack of sand green tiles led me to mix in some olive green and I decided to go with it. The once state of the art complex has fallen into disrepair. One of the shops in the ground floor arcade is closed for good and garbage has piled up in the alley behind the building.
The build started off as an exercise in trying to build a freestanding exterior stair at this scale. I'm reasonably happy with the result. Though I couldn't come up with a compact way to represent the actual risers.

WOW. What a spectacle it was to be underneath the Milky Way at Delicate Arch.
I was always fascinated by Delicate Arch since childhood and seeing it for the first time in person last year was just breathtaking. Ever since, I wanted to capture the Arch underneath the Milky Way. Finally, last weekend the skies were clear and the moon was in its 'new-moon' phase. Crazy as it was, me and my partner in crime Sreekanth Yalamanchili, set out to Delicate Arch from Boise on Saturday morning and reached the Arch trail head after 9.5hrs of driving. Ten minutes into the hike, it was pitch black and as expected, we lost our trail. Finally after searching in the dark for 45mintues we found our way to the Arch! As the Milky Way creeped up the horizon, we got our gear out and anxiously started shooting until 4AM. It was the biggest arc of Milky way I've ever seen! This will be something that I will cherish forever, and glad that I was there to witness it
Drive back after hiking down and sleeping for 3hrs was the most painful, but well worth it!
18hrs of driving + 3 hrs of sleep = 4 pictures
this past weekend i spent time near William's Lake which is about 28 miles north of Pagosa Springs, my little town which i reside in...when i am with nature I always remember what the elder's have taught me.....always wit a tune in my brain 2...

"We must have respect and understanding for women and all female life on this Earth which bears the sacred gift of life." --Traditional Circle of Elders. ONONDAGA
At a gathering of Native Elders we were told that many men of today had lost their ability to look at the Woman in a sacred way. They said we were only looking at Her in a physical sense and had lost the ability to look at Her sacredness. They said the Woman has a powerful position in the Unseen World. She has the special ability to bring forth life. They told us to start showing Her respect and to look upon her in a sacred manner. We must start this today. Grandfather, show me how to see in a sacred way.
* Sunday Kind of Love * ~ song lyrics by Etta James
www.youtube.com/watch?v=07DNiPodVdc
I want a Sunday kind of love
A love to last past Saturday night
And I?d like to know it?s more than love at first sight
And I want a Sunday kind of love
Oh yea yea
I want a a love that?s on the square
Can?t seem to find somebody
Someone to care
And I?m on a lonely road that leads to no where
I need a Sunday kind of love
I do my Sunday dreaming, Oh yea
And all my Sunday scheming
Every minute, every hour, every day
Oh I?m hoping to discover
A certain kind of lover
Who will show me the way
And my arms need someone
Someone to enfold
To keep me warm when Mondays and Tuesdays grow cold
Love for all my life to have and to hold
Oh and I want a Sunday kind of love
Oh yea yea yea
I don?t want a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, or Thursday, Friday or Saturday
Oh nothing but Sunday oh yea
I want a Sunday Sunday
I want a Sunday kind of love
Oh yea
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday kind of loooove
This was taken on the long drive home on Highway 22 on Sunday, from hiking the Small Whaleback - a wonderful area of rolling hills and wildflower meadows that is way down in southern Alberta, off Highway 22 and just before the Oldman River. My photo doesn't even begin to do justice to the amazing sky that we saw. The leader of the group kindly stopped so that I could take a photo or two - thanks, Moya, and sorry that my photos didn't do justice to the absolutely amazing beauty of that spectacular sky.
"Fear less, hope more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Hate less, love more; And all good things are yours."
wishing u a heavenly weekend....may it be filled wit many beautiful, heavenly & good thangs..always wit a tune in my brain..

The one good thing in my life
Has gone away I don't know why
She's gone away I don't know where
Somewhere I can't follow her
The one good thing didn't stay too long
My back was turned and she was gone
Good thing where have you gone
Good thing you've been gone too long
Hey hey hey woo hoo hoo
People say I should forget
There's plenty more don't get upset
People say she's doin' fine
Mutual friends I see sometime
That's not what I want to hear
I want to hear she wants me near
Good thing where have you gone
Good thing you've been gone too long
Hey hey hey woo hoo hoo
Then one day she came back
I was so happy that I didn't ask
Morning came into my room
Caught me dreaming like a fool
Good thing where have you gone
Good thing you've been gone too long
Hey hey hey woo hoo hoo

"One of the essential characteristics we need to learn as human was to be gentle, and to be gentle means to be serene, to enter meditation or a prayerful state in the morning and evening." --Larry P. Aitken, CHIPPEWA
The most important talk we can do during any day, is to start the day with prayer and meditation. We need to ask the Creator to be in our lives. We ask Him to direct our thinking. We ask Him for the courage and the power to be gentle. In the morning quiet time, we make our request for guidance using our spiritual tools. We pray for the people and we pray for ourselves. In the evening we thank the Creator for the day, for the lessons and for the opportunity to be of service to others. Then we go to sleep. Great Spirit, today, show me the power of being gentle.

The shot was taken outside of the house where I live.It was one of those beautiful days where you can see light on top of the clouds.Just heavenly. The bokeh was added,of course :-)
The ancestors are close. They may be behind you. There, in the shadows at the edge of the kiva. Quick, step through that doorway..Look up. Their messages are everywhere. You read their thoughts in the pictures they left behind on the rocks. They are with you. Can you see them? Perhaps they are hiding. Perhaps they hope you will find them.
A recent trip to Chaco Canyon National Historical Park in New Mexico. It was a special day to vist a sacred place where my family resides near by and I have visited many times as a child. My daughter *Rhy* walked these sacred grounds with me as I recalled teachings of this heavenly place, reminding us that the ancestors are close.

The ocean's power, the heavenly sights
Cannot outweigh a love filled heart.
And sparkling stars or glowing pearls
Pale as love flashes, beams and darts.

"We must relearn how to cry. A strong man cries; it is the weak man who holds back his tears." --Archie Fire Lame Deer, LAKOTA
Indian men and other men should really meditate on this Elder's saying. So many men have been taught it is unmanly to cry, to show emotions or to feel. When people cry, the Elders say there are two types of tears ? one type will taste salty; the other type will taste sweet. One is caused by pain, and the other is caused by the release from the pain, or joy tears. A strong man knows himself and
knows his relationship with the Great Spirit. The release of tears is a
spiritual act. Our bodies are designed to cry. We should honor our
bodies and use them as the Creator intended. Great Spirit, Grandfather, today, teach me to cry.
*cry* ~ song lyrics by rihanna
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTNFfaZDB1Y
I'm not the type to get my heart broken
I'm not the type to get upset and cry
'Cause I never leave my heart open
Never hurts me to say goodbye
Relationships don't get deep to me
Never got the whole 'in love' thing
And someone can say they love me truly
But at the time it didn't mean a thing
My mind is gone, I'm spinnin' 'round
And deep inside my tears I'll drown
I'm losin' grip, what's happenin'?
I strayed from love, this is how I feel
This time was different
Felt like I was just a victim
And it cut me like a knife
When you walked out of my life
Now I'm in this condition
And I've got all the symptoms
Of a girl with a broken heart
But no matter what you'll never see me cry
Did it happen when we first kissed?
'Cause it's hurtin' me to let it go
Maybe 'cause we spent so much time
And I know that it's no more
I shoulda never let you hold me baby
Maybe why I'm sad to see us apart
I didn't give to you on purpose
Gotta figure out how you stole my heart
My mind is gone, I'm spinnin' 'round
And deep inside my tears I'll drown
I'm losin' grip, what's happenin'?
I strayed from love, this is how I feel
This time was different
Felt like I was just a victim
And it cut me like a knife
When you walked out of my life
Now I'm in this condition
And I've got all the symptoms
Of a girl with a broken heart
But no matter what you'll never see me cry
How did I get here with you? I'll never know
I never meant to let it get so personal
And after all I tried to do, stay away from lovin' you
I'm broken hearted, I can't let you know
And I won't let it show, you won't see me cry
This time was different
Felt like I was just a victim
And it cut me like a knife
When you walked out of my life
Now I'm in this condition
And I've got all the symptoms
Of a girl with a broken heart
But no matter what you'll never see me cry
This time was different
Felt like I was just a victim
And it cut me like a knife
When you walked out of my life
(You'll never see me cry)
Now I'm in this condition
And I've got all the symptoms
Of a girl with a broken heart
But no matter what you'll never see me cry
On my life
Had a wee trip to the highlands this weekend with a couple of friends. It was so nice to be out in the woods and traipsing around in the fresh air. We even climbed the pap of Glencoe, although the rain didn't hold off for that..
I finally managed to try some long exposures, albeit using my camera bag as a tripod. But it seemed to work reasonably well and I loved the colours in this shot. It looks heavenly.
Hope everyone had a lovely weekend.
