Looking at things a different way. There are so many things in a natural life that take you up high and keep you there. Time alongside gravity have other things in mind, so we tend to end up way down - here on earth. Of course there is always the next world which some might be choosing from now, a place to be up high once more, where for time and gravity different rules apply.
I found this subject out in a field under a tree - obviously fallen. The beautiful color caught my eye. It was subsequently taken home, repeatedly photographed then eaten. This happened over the course of a few days - and that is the tale of one red avocado.
The heat lingers into October and I give thanks to the attentive universe. This image lends itself to something other than what one senses with a closed ear.
I believe that red lips is the proper name of this flower.
But for some reason, it looks more like a chicken to me.
One does not need to return to the past to realize that the present leads to the future.
I have had a lot of ideas running through my brain of late. I am now an official resident of Toronto again. I have slowly regained my peace which was challenged by one company. In the near future I will be revealing the name of this company which is "the worst company in the world". This company has cost me much time and money and will be dealt with by a force much greater than myself.
Once the focus is on the bigger picture (not shown here), the quest for a little green is shown to be nothing more than a fleeting moment where the irrelevant seems relevant.
Our day is always here in the now. The words "we will rise again" need not be spoken. Peaks leave the valleys behind and vice versa. This is life.
We must overcome the obstacles laid before us by "God's children".
One must at least ask – Why no entry?
confrontation
immovable objects
temporary
personalities
irresistable forces
permanent
meeting head on
unwise
shoot for magic
disappear
In some ways, the fruit for the wild in Toronto is much different than the fruit for the wild in Trinidad.
There won't be many new posts over the next few weeks, as I am in the process of moving from the Island of Trinidad back to Toronto which is where I have spent most of my life. I was born in Trinidad and moved back about five years ago. Blacqbook emerged in Trinidad, which is where the Sun (my ruler) is in control. Thanks to all the visitors and to those who left comments. Please enjoy past posts in the interim. Time does fly.
I really do talk to them - and they listen. I don't try to control them, we have an understanding.
This subject was found close to the river in a wooded area. Then the race was on to get home and have the immortalizing process begin. Sound good - actually many days passed by before this shot took place, which makes sense given the subject's (when there is something inside the shell moving it) perceived slow nature.
There is absolutely no reason to believe that this photo was designed with the fetishist in mind.
...consists mostly of water. Yet there are so many people out there, afraid to get wet.
There is no blue sky today. It's raining and gray. With the rain, comes the promise of great colors that it brings.
If somehow this photo was a movie, it wouldn't be named "Chief." It's title would be "The head leaf, its mate and others on a very sunny and somewhat breezy day, not far from civilization." Just a thought. How on earth can you name a photo that? I kept the word "spider" out of the title (even though I'm sure there are one or two lurking about on these leaves) because I know how scary they are to some people.
This spider is lucky to still have seven of eight digits remaining. I am lucky that I have this photo (taken February 16, 2005) - I found this spider due to the fact that nature called while I was on my way out of the forest, while taking care of business, I noticed movement amongst the leaves on the ground that wasn't caused by my stream. I stirred up things for this creature as it was probably trying to sleep. Anyway, I was able to get a few shots afterward and was on my way. To drag the story on further - leading up to this event, I went back and forth (in my head) whether I could make it home or which section of bushes was the perfect spot for me to find relief. I eventually for no reason darted off into the bushes at a certain point even though I was almost certain that I could make it home. This was the first and only time (so far) that I have come across this type of spider. Two days ago I was back in the same forest and I'm now paying the price with a healthy amount of insect bites. I did get some good photos out of the venture though. In my opinion there is really no such thing as luck - good or bad, only taking advantage of presented opportunities while allowing oneself to be led.
I have never been to Paris before. I am not in Paris now,
nor am I planning a trip to Paris. Someday, hopefully.
Ever wonder or worry about why you're not part of the crowd? Well if you do, maybe as part of the master plan, you are one of the few chosen to be a leader. In life, (as of now) there are many followers but few leaders. Leaders see the path and can create change. Sometimes that "left out" feeling means that we are called on to show the way and possibly help right the direction of our planet. Having a conscience also goes a long way. Regarding the photo - my guess is that the buds will follow the flower that now seems alone.
In line at the grocery store checkout, waiting for the person ahead of me to come up with enough money to pay for their groceries. Patient, I was. Then I noticed, off to the left into a dimly lit section of the grocery, a little lady in red up against the wall. I had been graciously given enough time to encounter this beauty and to take some photos before the checkout was ready for me – apparently she was left over from a father's day display.
Church can mean different things to different people. There are many people selling church in many different ways, in fact some people are selling church in one way on Sunday and in another way on Monday.
We are getting a bit of rain in Trinidad today. This photo was recently taken at the Maracas waterfall (no rain) - the water was falling harder than the rain could possibly fall. The rain affects everyone differently. It gets some people really wet. There is also a cleansing factor. I love the rain.
