Swan's Way

 Finally finished another photo project (long overdue) from Bok Tower Estate -the best part was a very friendly swan who posed beautifully for me as I teetered on the edge of the pond snapping pictures.  Here are a few of the results: 

May 14th

Well I can't believe that its May and this lousy Novemberish (lets pretend thats a word..) weather is persisting!!!! BUT this lousy weather did provide one useful thing-an overcast sky! So yesterday as is my fashion I put on my rubber boots and braved my way out into the wind and chance of rain.

Ok,ok, ok and now here are the pictures:

So I am finally working on my Horse Fair photos...here are a few I've finished so far....

It has been quite some time since I have written anything on this placeholder in cyberspace. I cannot attest to whether it is the coffee, mountain dew and busy day that got my writing juices flowing or the simple fact that it's 2am and I am still procrastinating the truly important things to do, but anyway, here I am.

It seams so strange how life is, I was just thinking about it as I scrolled through facebook pictures of acquaintances and then my own pics. how funny our time and activities pan out when you stand back and really examine the fruits of your daily routines, experiences and social life.

Objectively looking at the parts of my life that show up in pictures always fascinates me. For example, by examining the photos one would never guess that the majority of my time is spent in a barn working horses or at a computer messing about with photo projects. For there really aren't that many pictures of me doing these things, probably because they are just such common activities for me to do that it seams unnecessary to document them.

Hmmmm, just a thought.

Frighteningly enough, I am sorta rambling Karl Pilkington style - if you don't know who that is I strongly suggest you look him up- fantastic!

Well, thats the weird thought bubble of tonight. Humph.

They follow us throughout important fazes in our lives, rejoyce and comfort us in good times and bad and obey our every whim (well most of the time), they see the worst of us and love us anyway-and its often not until they have left us forever that we realize that they were our true best friend. Age old and timeless there is no other creature quite like the dog, without whom cats would have nothing to tease and kids nothing to blame; the dog has worked its way into the heart and soul of the family core and those priceless memory's of life. Unnoticed most of the time, our dogs are constaintly on guard for changes occuring anywhere, but they are especially tuned in to the sometimes minute differences that occur all the time in the people that surround them most often.Sure, many say 'its just a dog' but what most don't realize is that the 'just a dog' knows more about the inner-workings and quirky habits of their life then they do, because that is what they do, watch and listen. Always staying on top and alert, the dog is always very aware of its condition, because when you only have a few years to live its important to not waste it unaware. I think there's something to learn from our fury, four-legged BFF's, so keep your eyes open and your ears perked and be alert for life, or it might slip you by.

Why Bother.

I have come to the very real conclusion that I need not even bother posting anything on this blog, nobody reads it, and as much as a hate to admit without readers a blog is just an empty shrine to me babbling. I am not sure yet whether I will close down this blog..or change it drastically. Well, its not like it matter anyway.
