turns out i'm pretty hopeless at 365 projects!

(to be fair i have been taking a picture each day, they were just totally uninspiring so i didn't upload.)
"There is a calmness to a life lived in gratitude, a quiet joy."
Ralph H. Blum
Sometimes I get so wrapped up in the smaller parts of life that I end up taking for granted the things that I have, the things that make me happy, the things that happen everyday that put a smile on my face.
I'm grateful that my bedroom window overlooks the Rocky Mountains, for a job that I enjoy going to everyday, for the inspiration that I get from the world around me. Most of all I'm grateful for the freedom I have to wake up and live my life exactly as I want to.

This is not a recent photo. However it shows me taking notes - something I do compulsively.
When asked what do you do in your "spare" time (ha ha ha) - or - What are your hobbies? One of my first answers has been "Writing!"
I don't claim to be a great writer. But the contemplation and act of writing does bring me joy. I've volumes to prove it.
In fact, if you were to ask "What makes you happy?" One answer for sure would be "A good supply of smooth blank paper, a pen I love, and four hours of guaranteed uninterrupted time." Heaven!
Some friends and followers are creative and accomplished writers. You can tell who they are because their comments are unique and meaningful.
Though all comments are appreciated - some are timeless treasures. Perhaps they will make an interesting book project.
Some comments are poetry, some are advice, some are unique points of view or twists on the obvious, and some are puns that make me laugh even thinking about them.
Some of you have sent me your personal writing privately to enjoy - what a treat!
Thank you all.
Though no promise of quality can be made, I'll do my best to respond in kind.

Explore is nice. It is. But please don't leave a comment here just so I can come check out your photos or your sparkly-icon club. If you like this picture, thank you. If you're just self-promoting, no thank you.
For the 30-Day Challenge — June 2011
Day Six: From a Low Angle
I think people are interpreting this challenge differently, ignoring the "angle" part; that is, they are shooting things that are low to the ground, but their cameras are pointed at it from above. Or they're just shooting low things. My interpretation is that you put your camera down low and angle it up a little. Hence the power lines in the background. OK, whatever.
BTW, I titled this because the heads look like little notes on the power-line musical staff.
Local real estate agents mail these out on a regular basis (in hopes you will phone them when you list your house, lol). They come in handy!
Weekly Theme Challenge... PAPER
this is about learning how to speak again, after all these years.

now that i have a free moment, i'd like to write indepth on the details that went into creating this.
this is not a photograph, though it was made of bits and pieces of real photographs, it is not in whole a photograph. hours and hours of time went into building this design up into what it is. the girl is not real nor has ever been in any litteral sense of the word. but she is a girl who lives in the heart and is real for me and i believe many other girls.
while it is true that a face was used as the base for this - her eyes, lips, nose, everything about her was collected from pieces of photos which i have. why i say built, because she was built and from my imagination she came and was born to represent what i felt best expressed the message i yearned to deliver.
I spent many days, those days turned into weeks as i set it aside, finally unable to continue, only to start again another day. i remember this one moment when it was almost done sitting back in the dark late at night and crying just to look at it.
very hard most times for me to look at much less continue working on.
and that is when you know that something either means something or it does not -
when you feel something towards it, be that sorrow or anger.
one last thing i'd like to note is the song, silent lucidity by queensryche throughout kept me from slipping into any dispassionate state and kept me centered right in the heart of focus.
thats all, and thanks everyone for looking and reading.
You have to be a little careful wearing a short pleated skirt on a windy day (is that a wolf whistle I hear?). It does feel wonderful when the wind blows one's skirt up. I'm a bit of a joker, I hope this gives you a little smile.
Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen's monumental sculpture Bottle of Notes soars nearly thirty-five feet and is the first public sculpture in the United Kingdom by these two internationally renowned artists.
Bottle of Notes is inspired by the history of Captain Cook, born in Middlesbrough featuring words from his logs as well as poetry built from tempered-steel echoing Middlesbrough's industrial heritage and continuing the legacy of the town's Ironmasters.

This image is the last in a series of three capturing the amazing sunset and "freaky" clouds in NYC one evening last weekend. If you missed the first two, you can check them out here and here.
This shot was taken just about 8 minutes after the previous one. The sky's color turned from deep orange to purple and red. The freaky clouds have all but disappeared. The joggers and business people who had previously stopped to look up and take pics with their phone cams have all departed to resume their journey home. It's too bad though because they missed this. The spectacular sunset and clouds were like rewards to compensate my travel woes earlier in the day.
I think this is a record for me - posting on three consecutive days! Of course, I'm sort of breaking my own rule of not posting the same type of scene/images twice or more in a row. Oh well...
Better on black.
Highest Explore: #117
First of the Class 254 High Speed Trains, 254001, with power car E43057 leading, opens up as it departs Doncaster for London King's Cross on 8th June 1979.
HSTs had been on the East Coast Main Line for just under a year and still provided some fascination for spotters, including this one here, although like me, he may have begun to realise the mighty Deltics' days were now numbered.
The power car is in original condition and has yet to receive the rooftop smoke deflectors which were eventually fitted to the class.

Don't let the only picture you take of an event be directly into the sun, or you may have to resort to tricks like this. Monson Bike Show and Swap Meet.
The result of an experiment one night.
More musical stuff over here. (You can also go buy this image, if you want).
