“In the beginning you must subject yourself to the influence of nature. You must be able to walk firmly on the ground before you start walking on a tightrope.” / Henri Matisse “Man learns through experience, and the spiritual path is full of different kinds of experiences. He will encounter many difficulties and obstacles, and they are the very experiences he needs to encourage and complete the cleansing process.” / Sai Baba
“We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.” / -Mother Teresa
“Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.” / Mother Teresa Another version of this work:
“It is only in sorrow bad weather masters us; in joy we face the storm and defy it.” / Amelia Barr

One of my dearest friends John, starts a mammoth journey today by going to France and then walking from St.Jean Pied de Port – Pyrennes – Pamplona – Irun – Donostia – Bilbao – Santander – San Vicente – Ribadesella – (Covadonga) – Villaviciosa – Oviedo – Salas – Tineo – Lugo – Melide – Santiago de Compostela – to Spain. The Camino de Santiago de Compostela, also known in English as The Way of St James, is a collection of old pilgrimage routes which cover all Europe. They all have Santiago de Compostela in north west Spain as their final destination. For more than 1000 years pilgrims have been walking along the Camino de Santiago. I would like to wish John and his friend Nick a safe and wonderful journey and add everyone’s best wishes….. We all wish them the best of luck! I shall be marking the map with their progress….And thinking of you both… Happy Walking! Enjoy the Sunrises and take some fantastic photographs! The Sun Does Rise – John’s chosen song to mark this Camino. To You Both With Love…...Sx / July 20th 2009

These alien-looking creatures are is named for its their translucent, moonlike circular bells. Instead of long, trailing tentacles, moon jellies have a short, fine fringe (cilia) that sweeps food toward the mucous layer on the edges of the bells. Prey is stored in pouches until the oral arms pick it up and begin to digest it. / The coloration of a moon jelly often changes depending on its diet. If the jelly feeds extensively on crustaceans, it turns pink or lavender. An orange tint hints that a jelly’s been feeding on brine shrimp. Scientists have studied the life cycle of this jelly extensively. They know the adult male moon jelly releases strands of sperm, which are ingested by female moon jellies. After fertilization, larvae settle on or near the seafloor and grow into polyps. Polyps alternate between feeding and reproductive stages for up to 25 years. In the reproductive phase, polyps launch buds of cloned juveniles, known as ephyrae, which grow into adult medusae. Found worldwide in temperate and tropical waters, moon jellies feed in quiet bays and harbors. Although moon jellies have a sting, they pose little threat to humans. / / Scientific Name: Aurelia labiata / Habitat: Open Waters / Animal Type: Invertebrates / Diet: small plankton, like molluscs, crustaceans, fish eggs and other small jellies / Size: to 15 inches (38 cm) in diameter / Range: common in Monterey Bay and along the California coast, and in the waters off the East Coast, Europe, Japan and the Gulf of Mexico / Relatives: Portuguese man-of-war, hydromedusae, other siphonophores, sea anemones, coral; Family: Ulmaridae Nikon D700 Featured: Cards: Animals and pets group, September 2009 / Featured: AW Welcome Center group, August 2009 / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- http://www.redbubble.com/products/configure/12534471

Mixed Media / This idea came to me because I made a comparison with death and the life of a running shoe. In high school when Cross Country season started I used to buy my running shoes and think of how long they were going to last. By the end of the season my shoes were so worn out that they were practically useless. Now I think that we can compare our lives to the life of a running shoe, we go through so many miles, through so many obstacles and we never know when the road is going to end, or how many more miles we will be able to run. Esta idea surgío cuando hice la entre la muerte y un tennis para correr. En el bachillerato cuando empezaba la temporada de atletismo compraba mis comparación tennis y pensaba en cuanto me iban a durar. Al final de la temporada los tennis eran practicamente inservibles. Ahora pienso que podemos comparar nuestras vidas a la vida de un tennis para correr. Pasamos tantos kilometros, tantos obstaculos y núnca sabemos cuando el camino se va a acabar o cuantos kilometros más podremos recorrer. Copyright © 2009 Stephanie Jo Witham all rights reserved.
