Choose love always <3

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!

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

“love is of all passions the strongest,

for it attacks simultaneously the head,

the heart and the senses.”

 

~ lao tzu

the rain was falling slowly and sweetly.........

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.

 

Aristotle

 

" Don't find love , let love find u , That's why it's called falling in love because you don't force yourself to fall , u just fall . "

 

Special thanks for ' Reham '

Love is any of a number of emotions related to a sense of strong affection and attachment. The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure ("I loved that meal") to intense interpersonal attraction ("I love my wife"). This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.

And so it begins... our first Bodenised day.

 

Forgot to add - CC welcome (please). Hoping for a canvasable shot one of these days!

Each day you watch from the window,

Sometimes from the balcony,

Trying to find the light into your duty,

Like if the lifetime was of little importance for you,

But one day you fall on someone,

Who came brightling your days,

But you know as the humans days are counted,

When she will disappears it could destruct your own world,

And will lose something who count the most of all for you,

You will stay again alone on my balcony,

Looking the sky searching her,

How to change a destiny,

When someone is convince to don't have more days.

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!

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

 

...catch me!...

   

This is a Black & White conversion of a previously posted shot, specifically this one:

 

Love Conquers Gravity

 

This is an Edinburgh Fringe photo from 2006. It features two of the incredibly talented performers from an Italian group called Kataklo (composed of former Olympic gymnasts).

 

I was fortunate enough to be invited along to photograph the show by Angella Kwon, the show's producer. This was taken at 3200 ISO with a shutter speed of 1/20 second (hand held...but with image stabilisation). The Canon EOS-5D is a very impressive camera.

 

If you like this, you may be interested in the rest of my Kataklo set.

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 :)

Sunday in love with RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS song...

 

You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips.

And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips.

You're trying hard not to show it, (baby).

But baby, baby I know it...

 

You've lost that lovin' feelin',

Whoa, that lovin' feelin',

You've lost that lovin' feelin',

Now it's gone...gone...gone...wooooooh.

 

Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you.

And girl you're starting to criticize little things I do.

It makes me just feel like crying, (baby).

'Cause baby, something beautiful's dyin'.

 

You lost that lovin' feelin',

Whoa, that lovin' feelin',

You've lost that lovin' feelin',

Now it's gone...gone...gone...woooooah

 

Baby, baby, I'd get down on my knees for you.

 

If you would only love me like you used to do, yeah.

 

We had a love...a love...a love you don't find everyday.

 

So don't...don't...don't...don't let it slip away.

 

Baby (baby), baby (baby),

I beg of you please (please), please (please)

I need your love (I need your love), I need your love (I need your love),

So bring it on back (So bring it on back),

Bring it on back (so bring it on back).

 

Bring back that lovin' feelin',

Whoa, that lovin' feelin'

Bring back that lovin' feelin',

'Cause it's gone...gone...gone,

and I can't go on,

woh-oh-oh-oh

 

Bring back that lovin' feelin',

Whoa, that lovin' feelin'

Bring back that lovin' feelin',

'Cause it's gone...gone...
