Lately, I have been through a lot emotionally. I've felt love, and I've felt pain... This weekend I decided to get some more ink. But, I wanted these tattoos to truly have meaning for what I am going through in my life...
I got two tattoos, about 3" tall, on my left and right ribs. The symbol on the left [supposedly] stands for Love. The symbol on the right [supposedly] stands for Pain. I seem to feel these emotions a lot these days, unfortunately together in the same situations, over and over.
I got the Love symbol on my left ribs, close to the heart, because I feel that someday, Love will truly trump the pain I have felt in some recent relationships.
The Pain symbol is on my right side because, while the two seem to be interrelated at the moment, I would like to, at some point, separate the two.
Obviously, I'll always have pain in my life, but I'm hoping for it not to be directly related to love...
Because of some decisions I have made over the past couple of years, I decided to put these tattoos on my ribs. I have heard that this location is extremely tender and painful... I thought I may need a little physical punishment (no, I'm not a sadist) for some of my recent actions...
I handled both tattoos really well, I felt, and the artist, Jason Standridge was equally impressed with my tolerance for the situation.
The ironic thing is this... We did the Love piece first, then the Pain piece. Love went by without a hitch, just a little discomfort... Pain on the other hand... well, it was more pain that I had felt with the first piece. Either way, I was ready and willing to face whatever it took to get these two pieces put on my person...
Strange, I know... But, here are some B&W photos of my latest ink... These shots are just under 24 hours after they were finished... They're still a little scabby, although I didn't bleed very much during either of the tats...
Happy Monday!
To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.

Happy Valentine's Day!
Thank you for visit and all your kind comments!
Looks like love for these two. Even down to the heart shaped mark on one of the pigeons. Taken at Christchurch Castle Dorset.

I stole this hair clip from my sister's dresser. I love the idea that someone may be walking behind me, read it and smile.
And in true S&TC style, it also means that I carry 'love' with me wherever I go <3

Yesterday afternoon, 22 March 2015, I went on a very enjoyable two and a half hour walk at Carburn Park, with birding friends. The weather was good and the company was perfect.
These magnificent Bald Eagles are usually seen in the trees on the far side of the Bow River or flying overhead, so my photos tend to be very distant. I was just pressing the shutter when this adult unexpectedly took flight. I love seeing them when their legs are extended like this, so, even though this is a very grainy image, I thought I'd still post it.
Until maybe 10 or so years ago, when I bought my very first digital camera and eventually got into "birding", I had no idea that we have Bald Eagles in Calgary - lots of people are still very surprised when they learn this. How lucky we are!

After the walk, four of us went for coffee at Tim Hortons - always as enjoyable as the walk itself, if not more so : )

Unlikely places such as .... among the nuts and while ducking from well aimed acorns falling from the tree~tops

Since I didn't find time to take pictures of our beautiful lilies this year, I thought that this image from last year is worth sharing. Everytime I upload pictures from our garden it reminds me of my mum who passed away two years ago at the beginning of August. And even though one of the most important people in my life disappeared, the love she gave us does not seem to have disappeared. It seems like it has been planted in another special person, where it has grown more and more in both of us and I hope that it will grow on forever :)
