Hide Me!

Went to bed at 5:30 AM, back up at 8:30 AM, still up at 11:30 PM, and will be awake until someone hides me...so many beautiful things around us, so many beautiful things before us, if we just turn, we will see its right behind us.

This photo has a story all its own, taken on a recent hike, its not what it appears, but exactly what you see, simply as it is. If you read too much into it, then the stock market will drop again!

A parody of life and art. Think about it.

The Story - Brandi Carlile

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true... I was made for you

I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Oh because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do and I was made for you

You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what I've been through like you do
And I was made for you.

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true... I was made for you

Ohh yea it's true... That I was made for you

First Day of Fall

First day of Fall - or I've also heard its supposedly called Autumn??? Anyway, oh how I wish there was more colors this time of the year here but I will settle for sunlight streaking through the trees as we meandered our way through the forest.

My first true in-person experience of the fall season with all its splendid colors was in beautiful Nova Scotia - below is a photo of that memorable experience...

This is Hawai'i...

This is another of my "This is Hawai'i..." series, and I guess all my previous photos are true as well in that regards, but these photos I think epitomizes the island image.

The photo was taken yesterday afternoon at about 5:30 PM during the North swell.

Surfing is synonymous with the Hawaiian culture and lifestyle and nothing is more highly esteemed than riding the barrel or tube - aqua blue tube - is there anything else sweeter? Gummy Bears perhaps but thats about it! =D

Waterfalls

Waterfalls of Love

A sensual sanctuary from the heat
an emerald pool to cool their feet
A natural shower for them to share
as he runs his fingers through her hair

The sun filters through the trees
he feels her shiver in the breeze
He responds to her body as it calls
two become one as the water falls

Poem by Tia Maria

"Falling" in Love...

Sometimes you fall, and sometimes you fall madly and completely in love, laughing along the way, and there he is like he has always been, with his hands there, always ready to hold you if you ever needed it, just knowing he will always be there with you to share in every special moment no matter how small or how great; then the time comes when you decide to make that ultimate commitment ... remembering that first laugh, that first touch, that first kiss, that first moment when you just knew he/she would be the one...
