Eclipse by Pink Floyd
All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy
Beg, borrow or steal
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
And all that you say
And all that you eat
And everyone you meet (everyone you meet)
All that you slight
And everyone you fight
All that is now
All that is gone
All that's to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon
He sat across from her and arched his eyebrow. "Okay then, show me what you got." he sneered.
She looked at him, as did all the eyes on her corset. She grinned and all the eyes squinted. "You asked for it..." she hissed.

Skye had always been a bit of a skeptic. When her friends suggested visiting Fairyland, a magical realm known for its flying creatures and fantastical wonders, she had rolled her eyes. But the excitement in their voices was infectious, and she couldn't resist.
As she wandered through the bustling exhibition grounds, Skye's eyes widened at the sight of dragons soaring overhead, unicorns grazing in fields of shimmering dew, and mermaids gracefully swimming in crystal-clear ponds. But nothing prepared her for what she saw next.
A group of pigs, dressed in tiny aviator suits, were lined up in front of a peculiar, aerodynamic contraption. Their snouts were twitching with anticipation, and their eyes sparkled with a mischievous glint.
"Look!" someone shouted, pointing at the pigs. "They're going to fly!"
Skye scoffed, but as the contraption whirred to life and the pigs took off, soaring into the sky with incredible grace, her jaw dropped. There, before her very eyes, were flying pigs.
The pigs performed loops, dives, and barrel rolls, their tiny wings flapping furiously. Skye watched in awe as they soared higher and higher, their squeals of delight echoing through the air.
When the pigs finally landed, Skye couldn't resist. She approached one of them, a particularly plump piglet with a cocky grin. She scratched behind its ears and asked, "So, how does it feel to be a flying pig?"
The piglet oinked happily, as if to say, "It's the best thing ever!"
From that day forward, Skye's skepticism about the magical world of Fairyland was gone. After all, she had seen pigs fly with her own eyes.

"Maybe you should be shooting RAW?" observed the gull.
I used to shoot RAW, and could still, but I'm enjoying the convenience of WiFi upload to iPad, and there's more learning curve to deal with RAW on iOS. For most purposes, choosing a level curve in the camera that's -2 stops at highlights and +2 stops in shadows works well. But maybe RAW would have enabled a bit more detail on the gull's head in this case.
But since his was the only entry, he won first place.

THE SKEPTIC
If you're wondering why all the wooden walkways everywhere, it's because the ground is so hot it can actually melt and burn the bottoms of your shoes if you walk on it.
Personally, I doubted that statement so I had to find out for myself else where in the park, and sure enough, it was melting the bottom of my Nikes and I had to run back to the pickup take them off and wait for them to cool down before I could continue wearing them again.
When I was a kid my folks told me that, and I wanted to test that claim, but not in their presents. I thought if that was so, then how did the carpenters build those walks without having the feet cooked? Still an interesting question in my opinion.

One morning, back in 2001, I embarked on one of my many bargain-hunting excursions with my childhood mate. Our plans included him taking me to a couple of his favourite NYC outdoor flea markets.
One could call me a skeptic long before it was supposed, so I really never thought I'd find a bargain in NYC - much less in trendy Chelsea. He & I had grown up in S.C. & had thrifted our way from there to NYC, so this market was more-or-less just supposed to be about spending a quality time with a mate.
After digging through many piles of crap that I knew these sellers had grabbed for nothing elsewhere & were selling for not-so-bargain, bargain prices, I stumbled across these four metal claw-foot, with glass ball end "thingies".
They were in a massive junk pile in a basket on the ground & I was immediately & inexplicably drawn to them. Without thinking, I'd decided I HAD to have them - whatever they were - and didn't know why.
I managed to haggle the merchant down to $5 and as the burly stall-holder was placing them in a paper bag, he explained they were old piano stool leg ends. I repressed a smile, because without knowing it, he'd answered the "I don't know why the hell I'm buying this" question rattling silently about in my mind.
You see, my Mum's a pianist. Growing up, she was actually the lady in church pianist. I remember sitting in the pews, watching her play & it made me feel so proud - that was MY MUM up there! My great Grandmother - long gone before I was born - had also been a musician. She was actually a music teacher - an educated woman in America - way before the education of women was the "norm".
So, there I was, in NYC, digging through piles of crap - the energy of my ancestor deftly guiding my hands to these objects I felt I HAD to have, but wasn't certain why. And before I even had the chance to contemplate the matter, here was this surly gentleman unwittingly tieing my illogical impulse purchase neatly together.
Sometimes, life seems so clear. Sometimes, we think it's clear & we have retrospect moments when we realise situations weren't as they had first appeared. Life gets messy. We tend to get mired in the insignificant & don't even know it's occurring.
On this day, in Chelsea, without expectation or want, I'd received a gift. I decided to honour this gift by designing a pot rack entirely around my find. The wall-mounts are adjustable Umbra curtain rod mounts (Bed Bath & Beyond), the white bars are simple wooden dowels (hardware store) painted white. The cast-iron skillets are my Grandmother's & the ends are, well you know what they are.
This wall's just to the left of my bedroom entryway & every time I walk through, I smile & remember the day my great-grandmother guided & spoke to me, though we had never met.
I try to stay humble & kind & to remember the simple things in life are the things which hold the most meaning. It is now 2008 & I am again reminded that wherever I go, the spirit & the strength of my ancestors surrounds me. For this, I am grateful. To you all, a loving thank you, for I know we shall meet one day.

We keep the jays around with a steady supply of peanuts, peanut chips and more peanuts. Started to add acorns--from Gambel Oak, their natural diet-- to the mix. I think he prefers peanuts.

Don't try too hard to make Mercury your friend, he'll likely respond with an abundance of skepticism.
