The Zoo

At first - the puffy bear was asleep

But then puffy woke up and went splish splashing and dangling

The Orangutan was looking for a hand out...

The Tiger came a prowling...

And the jellies came a squiggling...

All in all... a good day to be a-zooing :)

Fanged Frog????

Animals I love - weird ones never seen before, even better!  Welcome to the dormant volanic world of Papua New Guinea....

NASSSTY, but intriguing

Giant rat?

Fruit Dove

Teeny Parrot

Hairy Caterpillar (ew)

I'm not convinced it's fanged, but I have a new favorite frog

The Fall List

In light of a summer gone and too much time not doing what I should have been doing - here's a list to start the fall:

A little more of:

• Sunsets by the lake
• rollerblading
• yoga & P90X
• trying new foods
• day trip adventures
• street fests
• movies
• picture taking
• drawing
• finishing my paintings
• guitar lessons!
• golfing
• good eating habits

A LOT less of:

• facebook
• sitting around
• eating to be full
• worrying about bills!!! WOO HOO good bye car payments
• procrastinating
• injuring my back
• breaking my own promises

Facetious Life

You know clowns are supposed to make people laugh - their life (or at least work life) is nothing much but a big laughable joke.

Today I found out, mine [non-work] life it nothing but a facetious remark in the grand scale of time. Ironically my work life is what's giving me purpose. Nothing else.

God expressed his sense of humor in assembling a creature that is a little bit mammal (the platypus, a native to Australia, produces milk and is furry), a little bit reptile (it lays eggs and has venom, released from spurs in the hind legs) and a little bit bird (eggs again, plus it has a bill like a duck as well as webbed feet). He needed a human version and he made me.

Beauty in Gray

Rootless

A rootless foundation

Shouts of timber

Watch the bending branches

Wind merely whistling

Dew gathering

Trunk toppling

Cannot hold itself up

Under any natural pressure

Fall down

Rootless foundation

Make a Wish

Welcome to the 5th Dimension

Part II

The magic of photoshop....

Fluff

I'm not sure why - but stuff that fluffs off the flowers (like the aftermath of a dandy lion) makes me happy.... I like fluffy stuff!

Snow Globe... In the Fall

Water Falls

Fire Downstream

Fallin'

Alone on a Rock...

What if you

Could wish me away

What if you

Spoke those words today

I wonder if you'd miss me

When I'm gone

It's come to this, release me

I'll leave before the dawn

But for tonight

I'll stay here with you

Yes, for tonight

I'll lay here with you

But when the sun hits your eyes

Through your window

There'll be nothing you can do

What if you

Could here this song

What if I

Felt like I belong

I might not be leaving so soon

Began the night believing

I loved you in the moonlight

So, for tonight

I'll stay here with you

Yes, for tonight

I'll lay here with you

But when the sun hits your eyes

Through your window

There'll be nothing you can do

I could've treated you better

Better than this

Well, I'm gone, this song's your letter

Can't stay in one place

So, for tonight

I'll stay here with you

Yes, for tonight

I'll lay here with you

But when the sun hits your eyes

Through your window

There'll be nothing you can do

Be Still

Be Still
Listen to the rolling waters all around
Be Still
Can you feel the pebbles between your toes

Be Still
Is there thrill left in your numbed body
Be Still
Let it wash it all away

Be Still
At the presence of silence
Be Still
Left the night fall rest your soul

Be Still

Stone Cold

I envy rocks.

Stone Cold

Emotionless

Strong

Unknowing to Weathering

Forks of the Credit

A precarious climb over a weak fence, a trek up 91 stairs.... But well worth it

Walk A Little....

Walk a little further, your destiny is just ahead.

Little boy, don't fret the dying sun.

The morning rays soon follow.

When you awake again little boy

A whole new day awaits.
