The Creation: Painter Man
The job ain't over until the paint is dry.

This is just the reflection of a Water Lily. I cropped the image so that only the reflection was in the frame and then I turned the image upside down. I love the slight movement in the water that adds interest in the background.
Recently, my new computer crashed on me. I wanted to be really upset and angry about it all. But I forced myself to remember the good things in this scenario. It is still under warranty so it is going to be shipped out for repairs. I had just backed up pretty much all my images on external hard drives, so even though I can’t access my desktop, I think everything is saved. I can use my old computer to save new images until my repaired computer comes back….which can be a month or longer!
What I need to do now is have patience. I need to float on the current like this flower and just enjoy the present moments. Downloading and editing will be really slow on this computer. And the weather is warming up for a grand finale to the summer. I may not be as active on Flickr for awhile. Life is good and I plan to enjoy the ride.
Miss Zidi Wu
from Chongqing
poses stiffly
at military attention
before the beast
to memorialize
the moment
she will only half-recall
later for her parents
who only leave their village
to sell vegetables
at the moonlight market,
while her classmates
who await their turn
for their photo
will not notice her
step to the side
and quietly
begin to cry
--Miguel deO

Nothing better than waking up to a snow day -- no school! Then warring armies of snowballers, building snowmen and sledding down the tallest hill in town. . .
Just doing some window shopping.

The white Orchid is said to be a symbol of innocence. My white orchid was given to me 2 years ago and it has bloomed 3 times since then. There are many beautiful blossoms on three stalks each time it blooms. I treasure the simplicity and elegance of this plant.

She talks about the future like she's flippin' through a magazine
Finds the beauty in the thrown away and broken things
Gets excited about all my crazy dreams
Got every sunset that she's ever seen memorized
Saves in a way for a rainy day or stormy night
The sky's brighter lookin' at it through her eyes
I don't remember
Life before she came into the picture
Brought the beauty I was missin' with her
Showed me colors I ain't never seen
She took chances
With every wall I built, she saw a canvas
I thank God every day for how He made her
My life was black and white but she's the painter
She reminds me that it ain't too late to start again
Fine is good but you need some blue every now and then
How'd I live so long without her reckless touch?
I don't remember
Life before she came into the picture
Brought the beauty I was missin' with her
Showed me colors I ain't never seen
She took chances
With every wall I built, she saw a canvas
I thank God every day for how He made her
My life was black and white but she's the painter
I don't remember
Life before she came into the picture
Brought the beauty I was missin' with her
Showed me colors I ain't never seen
She took chances
With every wall I built, she saw a canvas
I thank God every day for how He made her
My life was black and white but she's the painter
She's the painter
....and I love her more and more with each and every passing moment. My painter, my love, my everything.
