it's about making me happy

all of these photos were taken within the last 24 hours
they are making me happy
the might appear elsewhere
but only here do them hum together
in this twirl of color and content
only here do they speak directly to you
from me

i have a message for you and me
and this is for our wily feminine sides
the part of us that knows what to do
and when to do it
and you all do

there is a scent in the air
clean inhalations after a storm
telling of treasures and milky ways
tread stalwartly
grasping your need to invest in future tidings
and fortunes your core is cognizant of seeing
corner of the eye, napping while
storing up acorns
golden

minimal monday

i love this photo of flourescent car wash liquid
somehow i didn't post it the other day
what a mistake to leave this beauty out
i could sink deeply into it's pinkness

a friend at the farmers market makes these little buggers
traisins - as in dried cherry tomato raisins
they look like some strange yet wonderful fruit you would find in a Marrakesh Market
(do i need a vacation perhaps?)

Lava Lamp by Jack Russo

i need to rub the genie lamp
seek the great pink aura in the sky
wish to the stars and then back again


Message to the Blogosphere:

Happy Go Lucky Fool till the end.
Fool in the best of ways - full hearted, learning to give up the ghost of fear, taming the shrewish anger at fate and just floating with integrity and a hand at your passion and labors to keep you sane and afloat. Many will misunderstand you, but you endeavor is clear. Maybe just for now, for this step and the next

oh the fun, the fantasy, the flair

streamers blowing, billowing in the air and hanging out like they just don't care
we should be like a bit of tinsel twisting in the wind
flocks flowing
panties showing
crisp bit of sparkle dressing up our skies

makes you wanna just jump in and have your hands full of wonder and creation
hang your flag, call out your signs
just glad to be getting there
full of good intentions and breathless speed

jubilant life fully embraced feminine fun
Magenta
photo op
fully realized
yeah

beat your own drum
make a noise and wriggle free of your confines and convictions
forget that there are a dozen fanfares and write your first one
make it rich
and clanging
so you can reverberate your truth
all the way down to your soul

Summer sleepy and tent sore - I'm back

Catching up on your daily dose of color today, are you?
Camping color, at your service.

Folks did look at me funny - the toys from the kids games were more amusing to me than the mandatory off-colored jokes after the beer was getting drained.

But kids do have the most fun camping - this tree frog made lots of friends and everyone had to take a gander at his incredible coloring.

Me

This hammock was in constant use this long weekend - and I made sure that my behind was in the rotation of users. I did not meditate. I did not ponder my navel and wonder how in world I would discover the next job/career out there for me.

I just was.
And that felt exactly right.
