Pink Bouquet & Purple Bouquet

September 13th, 2009

I was walking around the Vintage Car Show in Burbank on August 22, 2009 photographing tiny wisps of another kind of purple flowers, when these caught my eye. I became entranced with what wonders these could possess. I really don’t know what the names of these flowers are. I wish there was a Google Search where you can enter photos instead of words to find out more information about things you see but have no idea what their names are. I suppose that is what people did do when there weren’t any names to things; they gave them names.

Southern Skies

September 11th, 2009

This is the window of my previous bedroom. It faces South. The chariot of the Moon raced through the night sky while I slept beneath this shaded palace. The cool air would kick up from the swiftness but I would sleep peacefully in this southern direction.

In Native American spirituality, South is the place of the child, where life begins. The animal in the South protects the child within and reminds us to be humble and when to trust so that innocence will be balanced in our personality (David Carson)

Hello Holga, Meet Diana

September 7th, 2009

My Diana had her second outing last month. The first time was in April to Venice Beach and she saw the drum circle and the green ivy man and a bunch of billowy dancing women and men. The second time was on August 14 when she traisped around with Holga in the garden. Here is their interpretation of the same plant & flowers.

The Phoenix and Her Dragons

September 1st, 2009

I woke up this morning to find my prayers were answered for rain… it was minimal, almost misty, and perhaps the result of the smoke from the fires. Nonetheless, the sky was overcast and you could not see the blue sky. Without regard for the time, I saw sunbeams crawling under my door, and I opened it to see what surprises lay ahead of me. The small window facing the sunrise beckoned me and I walked over to it. Then I ran over to my old room where I used to hang out on the balcony and started taking photos of this miraculous site. The sun had won the battle with the little bit of wind and the tufts of cloud and smoke that was crawling over to cover LA. In 10 minutes time, a Phoenix and a Medieval Dragon came to visit me, to bid me tidings, to give me hope, that the angry fire would leave soon but only when it was done ravaging what it could before the slumber. And on my way walking into work, I saw another dragon in the sky. He was a Chinese Dragon, making drumming sounds and dancing away the bad spirits that were left behind. He cleaned the air somewhat, and brought the message of a hope for rebirth and renewal for from the smoldering ashes of the angry fire rose the beautiful Phoenix.
