Feeling red

red interpreted as bluer than blue

Battle & humm

Has anyone started their holiday shopping yet? Be prepared, bring protection and make sure others are also protected from the impending assault the department stores are lining you up for. It starts earlier every year.

Scene for one

Take time to reflect, if you must. Peering eyes from outside, may not understand or accept the clarity with which you see. Now go forth.

Now

Here is an idea that has been thrown around for years - ok, this is real. For one day each year we will abandon the masks we wear in our daily lives and gladly, physically mask ourselves so that we can be our true selves. Halloween anyone? It seemed as if costume balls from earlier times were more commonplace, or maybe this observation is based on the movies I once found entertaining. My prediction is that in the distant future we will do away with halloween as we will not be able to confront the revealed self, therefore choosing to forgo the masking even for one day. Let's see - I disagree with some of what's written here. There is something in our world which allows us to be masked and yet doesn't give us the sense of freedom to be our true selves. Cosmetic surgery has given us the ability to wear our physical masks on a daily basis - Now.

I sleep

Nature keeps an eye on nature. There is always a need for it, even if there is no actual eye involved. Predators exist. How well do you sleep? This owl butterfly sleeps like a log.

Come & go stars

we came
we shone
some bright
some brighter
than others
we dimmed
all of us
little stars
all of us
gone someday

Nowhere path

Only an illusion - in some ways. This spider knows which way to go and what to do. Creatures in nature generally know exactly what their purpose is. How about you? Time can be precious as in many instances we are only alive for a few hours.

Tree angels

Somewhere between the Heavens and the Earth lies a hangout for our angels.

Roses are red

The passionate soul will arrive from time gone by, only to define the future by surviving the present.

Rain ready

Lately, the skies of Toronto have been grey, and there has been a fair bit of rain. This photo was taken (months ago) as I was driving along a main road in Trinidad with the rain starting to fall. It's a little known fact that most people on the island of Trinidad think that rain is lethal and therefore try to avoid it at all costs.

Way down

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.

Avocadored

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.

Bowow

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.

Popping off

Sit patiently and wait - in the quiet. One day it will happen.

Red lips & the abyss

I believe that red lips is the proper name of this flower.
But for some reason, it looks more like a chicken to me.

Again I pray

Sometimes prayer helps until the next time we decide that it's needed again.

Mixtop

It's a crazy mixed up world. Nature helps keep things just right.

Two step to freedom

Nature – where dancing with the stars is not sponsored.

Divided by

Looking up from a sandy beach.

Stubble & flow

Soon to be gone - the best one ever in Toronto. Summer, please don't go.
