Serenade... by valzart
..am feeling at peace this morning, because it’s cold & windy out there but very cozy in cyberspace lol! ...this wonderful poem written by sweet Sally Omar ...SERENADE OF SOULS . / “it was a low whispering / a murmur ever so faint / that drove me closer to heaven / for pictures it did paint / i could hear love and peace / and murmurs of total joy / a serenade so profound / for only me to enjoy / it was a time when i was lonely / and felt no one was my friend / i was somewhere in limbo / close to the edge to the end / suddenly in the evening / when all the lights were turned low / the murmurs started / they started out very slow / i could hear so much love / a choir of Angels did sing / and in my loneliness / heaven and peace they did bring / the voices got a little louder / and spoke of the love of our Lord / Jesus is our Saviour / and in the end is our reward / from that day forward / i danced toward the heavens so sweet / knowing my Lord and Saviour / one day I would meet.” by Sally Omar / a first experimental digital creation using apophysis & flower photo from my garden… ..

Rapture by Ted Byrne
The best / I can / Do Is / Arrange / Pieces / Of feeling. / . / — / . / Pre Processing in some furniture store where there stood a paper maché figure. And months later in a flowershop where a dusty potted flower drooped under a dim bare bulb. Each of them were captured with my Canon 40D. Post Processing happened in CS4 last night with the help of Topaz and AlienSkin to tease out the palette I felt, and to tease in the shadows and highlights that I found in my mind. / . / — / . /

Algiz by tkrosevear
The Book of Runes ~ An ancient oracle of the old Norse Vikings’ Rune Masters. This symbol represents the traditional meaning of protection, defense, the Elk, Sedge or Eelgrass. A collaborative effort with JRGarland who writes: / The Origin of The Peace Sign / Inside the circle of the Peace sign is a Rune called an algiz. The Rune, or Runes, when encircled was called a Runebind. This empowered the magical meaning of the Rune, or Runes especially when drawn in a red dye or ink – the empowering color. The algiz symbolises birth or new beginnings (upright position) and death or end of a cycle (downward position). In the Scandinavian countries, you can go to the old grave sites and find the algiz inscribed on the tombstone to identify the date of birth (upright position) and date of death (downward position). / Centuries ago the people were guided by Runemasters. These Runemasters presided over ceremonies and rituals and performed ritualistic magic for the people as needed. If the Runemaster was good, the people prospered. If he was weak the people suffered. / Occationally there arose a person who so terrorize the territory that the people would fear him even in death. When that person died the people would call upon the Runemaster to perform a ritual to ensure the the person would never rise again to harm them. / First the Runemaster would find a place surrounded by sharp rocks and remove the corps’ footgear to keep him from walking around. Then the Runemaster would cut off the legs and hands and bind them tightly around the body to make sure the corpse couldn’t open the coffin. Then the coffin was sealed with pitch and nails so the lid couldn’t be opened. Then the Runemaster would carve the algiz upside down and placed a circle around it, painted it with a red dye, so the soul would be bound in gravedom. Then the corpse was buried deep into the earth so he could in no way get free. Thus bringing peace to the land. / In the early 60s, a revival of the old religions took a sharp upswing. A group of followers, led by a Runemaster, went out to perform that ritual, using the symbolic figure of the government, especially the military, as the object of fear to bind. Then the group went out everywhere and painted the Runebind wherever they could and taught that peace would come throughout the land through this symbol. The idea spread everywhere. When Vietnam became the order of the day the people became desperate to end the conflict. The best symbol for peace that they had for the generation was the Runebind. Thus became the Peace sign as we now know it. From the “Book of Runes” by Robert Blum, more about Algiz ~ / Control of the emotions is at issue here. In transit and transition, shifts in life course and accelerated self-change, it is important not to collapse yourself into your emotions – the highs as well as the lows. This time offers ample mental exercise and stimulation. New opportunities and challenges are typical of this Rune. And with them will come trespasses and unwanted influences. / Algiz serves as a mirror for the Spiritual Warrior, the one whose battle is always with the self. The protection of the Warrior is like the curved horns of the Elk, or like the sedge grass, for both to serve to keep open space around you. Remain mindful that timely action and correct conduct are the only true protection. If you find yourself feeling pain, observe the pain, stay with it. Don’t try to protect yourself from life or pull the veil down and escape by denying what is happening. You will progress; knowing that is your protection. / Reversed (same as peace sign): Look carefully at all associations you form at this time. Be thoughtful about your health and alert not to add weight to the burdens others are carrying. If you see fit to become involved with people who are “using” you, stay conscious of the fact and take responsibility for your own position; then you can only benefit. And yet regardless of whether your enterprise prospers or suffers, do not be concerned: you may not win, but you will never lose, for you will always learn from what takes place. Temperance and courtesy are the sinews of this Rune’s protective powers. Rune Calling Started on balck background in photoshop7, layered photo of elk edited in Redfield plug-in fractilius, then painted rune with stamp/stone filter and finally lettered with wacom pen.

American Bison by Karön Melillo d'Vega
Bison bull photographed at the National Bison Range / June 2009. Bison are commonly called Buffalo. During the winter they grow incredibly thick fur, and in the late spring early summer, they “molt” their winter coat. I was able to get dangerously close to this beautiful bull and photograph him from a distance of approximately 30 feet. The National Bison Range Wildlife Refuge is located in northwest Montana. One of the oldest parks and wildlife refuges in the United States, the National Bison Range consists of approximately 3000 acres. “The National Bison Range is administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as part of the National Wildlife Refuge System. It was established in 1908 and is one of the oldest Wildlife Refuges in the nation. As its name implies, the Refuge was established to support a population of American bison. It is home to about 350-500 of these animals. Other large wildlife found on the Range include elk, white-tail and mule deer, pronghorn antelope, bighorn sheep and black bear. Because of its open grasslands, the Bison Range is a place for the public to enjoy some excellent wildlife observation and photography. Normally, buffalo calves are born during April, May, or June, although births have been recorded in all months. Newborn calves are reddish in color, and retain this natal coat until about three months of age, when it is replaced by the dark brown coat of the adult. The calves weigh between 20 and 70 pounds at birth. They grow rapidly and within one year may weigh from 400 to 600 pounds. Two-year-old animals may weigh up to about 1100 pounds. The cows continue to increase in weight until six or seven years of age, occasionally reaching a weight of 1100 pounds. The bulls increase in weight until nine or 10 years of age and very large bulls may weigh more than 2000 pounds. The average weight of mature bulls is about 1600 pounds.” / National Bison Range
