Title: Lyrics from "Me and My Shadow" written by Dave Dreyer, Al Jolson, Billy Rose

I've dragged my shadow all my life
Faithfully behind. Neither made a sound.
Now, I'm my own true friend - MY shadow leads!
Discoveries and adventures abound.
Last week, my shadow guided me to the Montréal First Peoples Festival, "Présence Autochtone" at Place des Festivals. Another festival in Montréal! The evening was balmy as the sun was setting and Kimberley, Lorelei and I wandered about as each of our shadows ushered us around. Another adventure today!
"The turtle represents the sea world and her shell the earth’s crust, which she carries on her back."
This is just a small sample of what was to be seen at Place des Festivals, which was transformed by Michel Marsolais. "He has permeated it with the cosmic vision of the First Peoples and drawn upon the inspiration of contemporary Indigenous artists who convey the rich spiritual and artistic heritage of the land in their own style. Anishnabe artist Caroline Monnet ( carolinemonnet.ca ) of the AM collective designed the striking and luminous visual identity for the site; Athanore assisted her in her multimedia creation."

Saturday September 4th 2010
A major earthquake hit New Zealand's second biggest city Christchurch early on Saturday, bringing down power lines, ripping up roads and wrecking building facades, but authorities reported no deaths.
Authorities declared a formal civil defense state of emergency to coordinate recovery operations in the city, which has a population of about 350,000 people, after facades collapsed into streets, crushing cars and blocking roads. Two men suffered serious injuries and police closed off the central business district.
The earthquake had a magnitude of 7.1 and a depth of 10 kms (6 miles), hitting the South Island city and a large surrounding area of farms at around 4.35 a.m. local time.
We woke Saturday morning to this news which has gripped the whole nation. Here are a few photos of the city which I took in 2003 while visiting Craig's parents, who were living down there at the time. We have other friends living there too. There has been extensive damage, and especially to a number of the beautiful old Historic Buildings... but thankfully and miraculously no fatalities or major casualties.
Day thirteen of the December Diary 2007. Taking a photo a day of Ted and his adventures...
I promised him I would upload them in conjunction with this years Diary...
Many of you would have seen this photo before...
It's one that I uploaded on Craigs Birthday I think...
It's one of my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE photos of Craig and Ted...
It' has all the elements I LOVE.. My two special boys of course... and my Shadow in there too!
We like to make a point of doing something special on the 13th of each month if we can...
Our first date was on a Black Friday 13th.... and we got married on the same date 9 years later!
This was taken at Takapuna Beach...
A lazy late afternoon Nap, relaxing in the Sun...
What could be more pleasant! %-)
I guess this is the only way I'll ever be tall and slim, LOL! (OK, you people who know me - enjoy your smiles). Went for a beautiful walk in Fish Creek Park this afternoon, knowing that our weather is about to change drastically. Bitterly cold temperatures and more snow are going to be moving in. Apparently, it is supposed to be -29C (-20.2F) on Sunday morning (don't even want to think about what the wind chill temperature will be!!!), ready for the Christmas Bird Count. I will not chicken out, I will not chicken out, I will not chicken out.......
Fai attenzione alla tua ombra. Ogni uomo ha un fratello che è la sua copia esatta. È muto e cieco e sordo ma dice e vede e sente tutto, proprio come lui. Arriva nel giorno e scompare la notte, quando il buio lo risucchia sottoterra, nella sua vera casa. Ma basta accendere un fuoco e lui è di nuovo li, a danzare alla luce delle fiamme, docile ai comandi e senza la possibilità di ribellarsi. Sta disteso per terra perché glielo ordina la luna, sta in piedi su una parete quando il sole glielo concede, sta attaccato ai suoi piedi perché non può andarsene. Mai. Quest'uomo è la tua ombra. È con te da quando sei nato. Quando perderai la tua vita, la perderà con te, senza averla vissuta mai.

I've lived here for six years and I had no idea there's an enormous Edwardian pergola and hill garden open to the public at the top of the Heath.
Taken on the warmest day of the year so far.
El trabajo es salud...
Bueno no solo salud, también es alimentación, educación y diversión.
Pero he notado que existe personas que no valoran al trabajo ni la educación ni la salud, ya que ellas siempre están en la espera que otras personas asuma toda la responsabilidad.
Se me hace muy difícil aceptar el hecho que hay personas que esperan vivir con esfuerzo nulo y con máximo beneficio.
Yo trato de no olvida que "antes de recibir, se debe dar"
Hoy me propongo trabajar como nunca le he hecho, hoy daré más de mi, hoy haré un aporte importante, hoy me daré a las demás sin la esperanza de recibir algo a cambio, hoy dejaré de ser un perezoso.

This is the metal band My Shadow in another shot for their upcoming album - Decayed World. Again, this photo shoot was conducted in the most decayed house we could find! See Pt.1 For more decaying goodness! www.MyShadowOfficial.com
Looking east at a screen. All the speaker posts were removed and only the wires came up out of the ground.
Right after taking this shot an employee from the Rona site next door came over and asked me what I was doing. I told him I was taking pictures of the old abandoned site. He said it belonged to Rona and that I was trespassing on their property and that needed permission to be there. He then asked me to finish up and leave right away. I was already to leave anyway cuz the battery had died in the camera. (LOL)
If somebody hates the thing that badly it probably wouldn't be very hard to chop it down altogether.
Shit ain't nobody is ever gonna get any nice shade from that thing if people keep doing that to it.
There a bird goes.
