Why are you telling me hush, cloud?
(Oh, I feel that...
No more pain, no more hurt. No more
worries. Just hush, love, hush...)
At the end of the day, almost every image I create has great meaning to me. But, I’m not in this just for myself. I desire to speak for those who feel they don’t have a voice, to empower those who choose not to speak yet, and to relate to people no matter how distant or different. I am an introvert, ridden with anxiety and fairly anti-social. Art is my way of connecting. It is my way of skipping the cheap talk to get to what matters most; to have conversations with people that mean something. To look back and know that I spent my time trying. Not necessarily succeeding, but who cares about that, anyway?
My life will not be defined by if I succeeded, but by if I tried. This is me trying, reaching out to you and showing you who I am; not the more superficial version of myself that you might bump into on the street, who says “how are you” but really wants to ask “what is your passion?”, but the one who dives straight into those questions without worry.
Are you trapped?
Are you being torn apart?
Are you being held together?
Those are the questions I desire to know answers to, so this is my art, asking those questions.
Crazy Tuesday: Gifts
This year, I put worry beads on my wish list. I've never used them before, but in these anxious times, I thought they might help keep my hands busy and my mind still. My husband didn't find any locally that he liked, so...he researched how to make them, bought beads and cords, and made me three sets. I was so touched! He even made the tassels the other two sets have. By far my favourite gift this Christmas.
If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?
~ Matthew 6:30 / Luke 12:28
HBW!
Schmetterlingszeit !! :-)
Dieser Admiral balanciert von einer zur nächsten Blüte :-)
Mögen alle Sorgen oder Schmerzen so leicht weg fliegen wie ein Schmetterling. Manchmal ist Leben ein Balanceakt , aber wir schaffen das :-)
Butterfly time !! :-)
This Red Admiral balances from one to the next blossom :-)
May all your worry or pains fly away so easily like a butterfly. Sometimes life is a balancing act, but we can do that :-)
Don't worry, your screen is not freaking out. This bird is really this green. I had seen many photos of this bird but had never seen it until this trip. What an amazing green color this gem is.
Glistening-green Tanager - male
Brilliantly-colored tanager of Andean cloud forest in western Ecuador and western Colombia. Male is bright emerald-green with small red and white spots on sides of head. Female and immature are slightly duller and may lack head spots. Usually found in small groups that forage energetically in lower to middle levels of the forest, and often joins mixed-species flocks. Visits feeders in some areas.
Taken on a trip led by Sam Woods of Tropical Birding Tours.

Man is the only animal who enjoys the consolation of believing in a next life; all other animals enjoy the consolation of not worrying about it.

For Macro Monday theme.
A Worry doll from Guatemala. It is tiny and meant to ward off troubles and worries.
When I was in England I stumbled upon this man on the beach, half dressed, bruised and bleeding. He was shivering violently and his teeth chattered together so much his words were barely audible, but he managed to tell me he had carried this suitcase full of rocks all the way from France, or rather... swam with it... across the English Channel.
When I asked him "Why!!?", he explained that he was carrying out an old tradition; The suitcase full of rocks represented all his worries, and he'd swam the channel in order to take them, and leave them, far, far away. I wondered out loud if he was going to swim all the way back again. To which he replied, "Fuck no, I'm taking the Eurostar! ...Do you have any socks?"
We laughed and laughed, thawed our feet and hands on car air vents, and then went back to the placeI was staying, where we ate Mexican food, and I discovered he was actually a crazy Flickr photographer named Simon McCheung!! Small word, ay?
For Macro Monday's theme, "figurine"
I have made several pictures of this little girl. She was given to me by my boss (and mentor) when I was working in the child psychology world. She is an amazing woman who served in the peace corps and attended Berkeley during the summer of love. She went to Guatemala when we worked together and brought us all back these little worry dolls. This little 1 inch baby has travelled across the country, lived in 3 states, and survived for almost 30 years.
I posed her here on my artist's manikin for scale.
HMM!
While there are many benefits to living in California, there are also plenty of worries. Wildfires, droughts, floods, earthquakes and more. On this recent trip to a Northern California beach, I saw a warning sign about tsunamis. Add it to the list.
An antique celluloid pin and a ultra worn merchant marines bank note early 19th or late 18th century.

Very dynamic skies over Fife. This was taken while out cycling and, yes, I did get wet!

This male is one of three from the Sala Pride who were 'acquainting themselves' with the females of the Rekero Pride with a view to taking over. He doesn't seem to have much experience and looks rather confused about the whole thing. He approached these females which made them rather nervous with the cubs close by and one of them snarled at him. He just gingerly lay down beside them but the females weren't entirely comfortable. I didn't much like the looks he was giving the cubs but it seemed they were safe for the moment.
Par accident j'ai effacé beaucoup de mes anciennes photos dans mon catalogue dans Lightroom. Quel horreur. Pfff...Ce n'est pas un de mes moments le plus brilliants. Il semble que je peux retrouver de mon disk dur portable, mais ça prendra longtemps. Au moins qu'elles ne sont pas toujours perdues. Il faut trouver un autre chemin pour organiser mes photos....

By accident, I erased a lot of my old photos from my Lightroom catalog. It was not one of my brightest moments ! It seems that I can retrieve them from my portable hard drive, but it is going to take a long time. At least they are not lost permanentely. I must find a better way to organize my photos....

La preoccupazione ha occhi con il trucco sbavato, capelli raccolti in disordine, mani che coprono il viso e occhi sfuggenti.
[ Non è una foto bella, avrei potuto farla meglio, metterci più impegno, ma per quanto poco bella sia, è vera ]
