Unless its my imagination beachwear seems to be getting larger, not smaller, so we may as well accelerate it a bit heh. Without compromising aesthetics. Taken at the Canoe Pool at Newcastle Baths, we should be able to recognize those railings by now.

Librada: Its source is a Spanish expression meaning “The chosen one.” My mother’s name was Librada. She died of a rare disease called Scleroderma. She passed away on 11/29/94 and today marks 15 years since her death. She was only 44 years old. I can’t believe how time goes by so quickly. It seemed like yesterday when I last held her hand. One of her hobbies was collecting butterflies. I think of her always, especially when I see butterflies :) I love you mom and I miss you dearly. RedBubble Art Feature “Mood and Ambience” Thanks everyone for your kind words and support today. It really means a lot to me.

Centre of the town is a bridge crossing over the lake, first mentioned in a deed dated 1348. Weissensee is one of the few municipalities in Austria with a Protestant majority. Not until the 1781 Edict of Tolerance by Emperor Joseph II they were allowed to worship in a Bethaus (“pray house” – not a church). The church of today was not built before 1900. Until 1968 the name of the commune was Techendorf, it has been changed for tourist reasons. Summer tourism around the lake is the main component of the local economy.

I visited Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park often in years past; this old fellow was the first I came to know there. He was dear to me; it ripped open my tattered heart when he died. He assumed a quiet strength and a natural poise that I feared I would miss with him gone. Something interesting happened though during this time; something changed within me and after the shifting was done I found this old guy there within me. I know that sounds crazy to a lot of people and that’s okay. This will mean something to a lot of others and it’s for that reason that I write this now. There is a current of compassion that one can tap into thru the life in nature. Just like there is life in music and art and great literature, there is life in the natural world that can inspire us to heal ourselves. My experiences have borne out that there is a power of restoration found thru the avenue of the heart where human frailty meets with a deep and abiding sense of compassion. The result of such an intermingling is nothing short of amazing, I’ve found, amazing in how I was lifted up into a level of perception previously unknown to me. I was shown new possibility, and then it was up to me to allow the changes that would make this my ordinary state of being. It seems I waited until I could not get along without it to reach out and to receive. Once I opened and allowed, I found that it had always been within me waiting – this compassion – waiting until I would choose to acknowledge it there and take it up. I was changed thru the experiencing of it. Before, it was something ‘out there and beyond me,’ a part of me that I had judged and set myself apart from. Now I simply knew it as that which I am. My identity shifted fundamentally as I became what I had felt unworthy to be – compassion restoring me into compassion. I would only see him once more after we met that day in the rain and in the green. As you can see a long life has left its marks on his face, but his eyes are bright – bright with the fires of eternity. I know, because for as long as I persist, he continues as well. He inspired me to open up within me; he is a part of what I found there. I am confident that we all are part of that. / ___ / ©Miles A Moody LivingEarth-Hearthealing.com.

This is one I took at the Salton Sea, 226 feet below sea level, about 2 hours southeast of L.A. in the harsh California desert. Once a thriving beachside recreation area for tourists back in the 50’s – early 60’s, now an environmentally challenged wasteland of decaying buildings, dead fish and trailor parks.
Some 30 Km’s from Belgrade, a quick escape from the busy city life. But unfortunately many have discovered it :) / Avala tv tower was built in 1965 and it was one of the symbols of Belgrade. Proudly withstanding burden of years, it was crushed by the NATO forces, 29.04.1999. / The tower renovation is near completion and 205 meter tower will be the lighthouse of Belgrade once again. / Taken with FujiFilm FinePix F30 Zoom compact camera.
