Autumn, Less Than Perfect


 Autumn

"The autumn comes, a maiden fair
In slenderness and grace,
With nodding rice stems in her hair
And lilies in her face.
In flowers of grasses she is clad;
And she moves along,
Birds greet her with cooting glad
Like bracelets' tinkling song." 

~Kaildasa

That photograph went so wrong! But in all fairness, I was taking the photo out of a moving car, that was going 50mph! I can usually get some really good photos as we drive along the countryside, and even in the city, but on this day in October, I wasn't getting many breaks with lighting or the twists and turns in the road. It just was, what it was. This is not a wonderful landscape photograph, but it is just clear enough to be not only a really cool mistake, but a half way decent work of Impressionist photography, don't you think? How is that for a little glass half-full rationale?

I'm In A Purple Mood

From For Ellipsis


"Life is a train of moods like a string of beads; and as well pass through them they prove to be many colored lenses, which paint their own hue each shows us only what lies in it's own focus."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am in a purple mood. A little blue, but with just enough red to make me not completely hopeless. LOL.

How about you, if you could assign a color to your mood, what color are you right now? Share if you feel like doing so. I am curious to see what your response might be!

Dylan Auditions For Dancing With The Stars

From For Ellipsis


"We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance."

-Japanese Proverb

Funny story. There is a big storm going on here in the Bay Area, so on Monday afternoon I thought it would be nice to spend some time with the boys, playing Mouse Hunt and Chase the birdie. I just thought it would make the boys happy to have us play with them... and I knew it would lift my spirits. Alan got the catnip monkey on a stick and swung it around for the boys to chase. Hendrix didn't want to jump, but Dylan really got into the fun! I tried to get some good action shots of him, because he is such a good jumper, but all the photos look more like he was doing "jazz hands" or actually... "jazz paws!" LOL. What do you think? Does he have a future on Dancing With The Stars? Tee Hee...

LOL. What cutie pie! I really need to work on my action shots!
