Hey Zeus

Last year sometime in March I took a series of shots of statues in a cemetary. Here ya go. Not sure this will be going into the bubble. I was messing around with the HDR in my new COREL PAINT SHOP software. Getting to know the stuff slowly. Any comments are welcome.

Relating

I have this M.C. Escher print titled Relativity that my sister gave to me back in the mid seventies. I think I recall her saying that it made her think of my life. Looking at it now as it hangs in my living room, yes I could certainly agree. It moves in directions that are all connected. You can sit and stare at it for a long time and not know where it starts or ends. It makes sense and it does not.

This moves me to mention that I have framed a couple of my photos. Both are gifts. I have one on the wall and the other a sitting up where I can see it. Seeing it there is one of those feel good things.

I have watched all the episodes to the "United States of Tara". A serious subject and journey for a woman with DID. A sometimes painful life for Tara and her family. But there are those light moments and at times belly lifters that makes this show very watchable. We are following Tara's journey to find the cause of her DID. Can't wait for the next season. Creator and excutive producer Diabol Cody (Juno).

Short Notes or Note Shorts

When my routine gets sidelined I tend to make for lost time by staying up late on Friday night. Being on duty for more than eight hours a day tends to wear on me a bit. I have to stay on good behavior and that is taxing for me. smirk

Where is my spiritual mentor?

Where to Begin

Winter and dark days play with my mood. No, winter is only a time when the view is altered enough to notice that I have time to improve the wires of Deity communication.

This so called mood is a desire to create through spirituality. To connect through the universe or that place that you feel deep inside. A cushion of safety and soft landing. A connection to the energy. A question remains on how to get there.

I am the only barrier between me and the creator. Where is my mentor and guide? I think, I know.

Winter Hope

This is the Anglican Church in downtown Halifax. Just playing around with treatment and affects.

Namesake

focusing issues but I like it anyway...

Inspired

I managed a bit of photography this weekend. Still life of sorts. I read too. When the client sleeps for hours and there is nothing left to do you think of things to do. The reading was an eye opener. I am reading a Sue Monk Kidd book. There is a chapter about people being Quickaholics. I gotta have it now syndrome. Instant everything. That includes the spiritual seeking as well. I am without the book so I can not quote anything and I can not recall the title at this moment. I blame mental pause for that one. So I took a moment to look it up. "When the Heart Waits: Spiritual Direction for Life's Sacred Questions" So yeah, I am on my part time spiritual quest. I seem to have this impression that one should be serious about spiritual journeys full time. But I am starting to realize it is part time for a lot of people because we are weighted down with every crap that gets in the way and or we simply get lost in all the mess.

I find Sue Monk Kidd very readable. Maybe more later......writing...

Lake Banook at the Other End

If you check out the corners you will see the encroachment of the lens hood. I am guessing that it really is not the right size that they sold me. But hey, live and learn. I still like the shot. The corners add a special touch. This photo was not edited. I also had the UV filter attached. Fun with new stuff.

Hydrants Are Not The Favorite Wee Spot

Dogs will go only as far as the most convenient spot.

Relax?

It is one of those nights when nothing is right. Actually, I think the whole day was like this. Everything is tense. Oh Poop! My left ear is throbbing for no real reason other than the muscle in my neck are pulling from the shoulder up.

I have got to turn off the lights and listen to some music on my playlist. Perhaps that will relax me.

Weeeeeee. Maybe I could watch IDOL and watch poor folks get rejected.

Post Addendum
my tense day was a precursor to sleep wake, sleep wake, and busy brain. Will be glad when the Sunday comes. My Saturday is a work day.
