Large disgarded anchor, far too big for any of the boats moored up, You’ll find this at the back of Sheldrakes restaurant, Gayton, Wirral. / Views over to Wales and a small boat yard.
Sailboat anchored on Lake Michigan in the evening haze. Calm waters allowed a perfect reflection.
Hot choclates in a sea of grace, / Your sadness has become my anchor.
Made famous by the movie, The Anchorman, this t-shirt comes directly from the quote within the movie “I’m gonna punch you in the ovary, that’s what I’m gonna do. A straight shot. Right to the babymaker. “ Enjoy!

A photo of St-Simeon’s pier, the most beautiful place I saw when I went for my little 3 days trip.While taking this shot ,a nice couple on a moto talked to me ,I ask for a little auberge to sleep for the night and they decided to invite me to their home.That’s Quebec,I would have done the same but it was a first for me…couldn’t believe it.I sent some photos by email and they were very happy.They are living at five minutes from there in a beautiful place called La Malbaie near the St-Lawrence river.The same day in the afternoon I took «Pointe-au-Père» and in the evening the sky became lavander blue,a real dream. / / /

The Anchor Holds. * A song of encouragement and hope for those going through the storms of life. Inspired by a real life experience. / By Lawrence Chewning and Ray Boltz THE ANCHOR HOLDS I have journeyed / Through the long, dark night / Out on the open sea / By faith alone / Sight unknown / And yet His eyes were watching me CHORUS: / The anchor holds / Though the ship is battered / The anchor holds / Though the sails are torn / I have fallen on my knees / As I faced the raging seas / The anchor holds / In spite of the storm Ive had visions / Ive had dreams / Ive even held them in my hand / But I never knew / They would slip right through / Like they were only grains of sand CHORUS I have been young / But I am older now / And there has been beauty / That these eyes have seen / But it was in the night / Through the storms of my life / Oh, that’s where God proved / His love to me CHORUS (repeat) / 1994 Word MusicASCAP (a div. of Word, Inc.) and Shepherd Boy MusicASCAP (adm. by Word, Inc.).

Firstly, what is Search Engine Optimization (SEO)? When you edit (fine tune) your web pages to accurately describe the content on the page, you’re optimizing for search. Search engines will scan your website, index the content, and use it to deliver [what they feel] are the best results to the searcher – hopefully your web pages! Why is this important? The better you rank in Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc., the more “free” natural (aka organic) web traffic you receive. And we’re all hoping that those shoppers convert into buyers. WWGD – What Would Google Do? Google is clear about the steps that website owners should take in order to rank highly in natural search results. And while search engine optimization isn’t hard nor scary, it’s a marathon and not a sprint; building your website or webpage’s online credibility takes time. RedBubble keeps pace with the changes being made in the search engine optimization arena, however, it’s important to note that RedBubble – and your own – organic search engine rank will fluctuate due to the searcher’s country of origin, season, competition, and a variety of other factors. Credibility One of the elements that factors into your website or Profile page organic search rank is credibility – your content’s relevance as related to the shopper’s search query. E.g., does your St. Kilda artwork page have a descriptive title, page content, and tags that make it a relevant match for the shopper’s “St. Kilda photograph” search query? Another factor that determines page credibility is the number of links into your page(s). Known as “inlinks,” these are links from credible (content-relevant) websites to your RedBubble pages or to your personal website. If I had to choose one, I would choose quality links. Quality links mean that prescreened customers are clicking from a related piece of content to your artwork – which increases the chance of a shopper converting into a buyer. How can we increase the number of inlinks to our RedBubble Profile and artwork pages (as well as our personal websites and blogs)? Start with directories Google, Yahoo, Bing, DMOZ, and other directories allow website and page owners to submit their website URLs. There’s almost always a free option, so if you see a pay-for-placement option, look around the page for a “basic,” free option. - Google Add URL / - Yahoo Site Submit / - Bing / - DMOZ.org You can also list your art business as a local business with these websites. - Google Local / - Yahoo Local (choose the Basic listing) / - For larger US cities, Yelp.com Reach out to friends and contacts You can trade links with friends, contacts, or other willing website owners. If you approach third-parties, take the time to review their content, relate to the owner, and explain the benefits of reciprocal linking. There are far too many link exchange scams online for an unsolicited and unsubstantiated request to pass muster. Write and distribute articles, press releases We chatted about writing for press here, but you can start by posting your writing on RedBubble. If you’re not confident in writing about yourself or your art, start by writing about a local event, an art opening, museum visit, or another topic that’s important to you. Be sure to link keywords (anchor text) in your articles to work in your RedBubble portfolio. E.g., if you’re writing about Yosemite National Park, link to your images of Yosemite. Commenting creates conversation Comments on RedBubble encourage fellow artists, and they prompt members to view your profile and artwork. Take that same idea and apply it to websites outside of RedBubble. You can use Google Alerts to find websites that talk about topics related to your artwork. If the topic applies and there is a space for a comment, be sure to add a relevant note with a link back to your work or Profile page. Become the expert and share You have a lot of valuable information stored in that head of yours. Now is a good time to share your expertise in a journal entry, articles on friends’ websites, etc. “Test the water” with a RedBubble journal entry; be sure to solicit feedback. Then paste the amended story as a Facebook Note or blog entry. Ask friends to pass along the article to others that might enjoy it. Again, pepper the article with links to relevant artwork (anchor text) and add a small “by line,” biography, and website link in the footer of the article. Smart tagging with anchor text In short, when you or someone links to your artwork or Profile page, it’s exponentially more effective if the link text – the anchor text – relates to the headline and body copy on the destination (landing) page. E.g., if you link from text that says, “tiger photograph,” link to a page that includes text, art, and other content related to a tiger. Search engines interpret this as a relevant link and therefore worthy of higher placement in search results. If many websites link from “tiger photograph” to your page you’ll rise in search engine results. Never give up Don’t get discouraged if you receive little to no feedback or results from your first efforts. It takes time to build an audience, and there are rewards to be found in the maturation of your writing and in the discovery of new websites, resources, and in meeting new contacts. And remember, even the world’s most successful artists are bad at some things. Ideas come from you RedBubble members always have great ideas, so please comment below. If you can relate the content to your work, be sure to add a link! :-) Thanks. Regards, / Jason

Inspired by one of my favourite songs by The Audreys. you dropped me in like an anchor / and watched me drown in your sea / your heart is cold as the water / and has no more use for me but there’s so much to see / down here I’m not alone / and the fish are as fine / as any person I’ve known it’s such a nice place / think I’ll stay here instead / with the shipwrecked, abandoned / and broken hearted More Minny
Original Sold on 11×14 it is like this when the wind blows / your sail is set towards the sun / I am going your way and leaning / forward / I feel the drift between us / a natural rhythm of self / mine and yours / awaiting stories gleaning with secret souls / partake the darkness unferled / as we come to a shared conclusion / drop anchor here / I am ready to board Linaji 2009

So what you should go with me? / She spies his child and takes his hand / The boy sees her girl / he lets loose her hand and runs to the girl / they stare at each other and smile and both / break to a run; left past forever. / And here ‘We’ are, remembering how much we / forgot Last in this series .. thanks so much xxoo
