What thoughts actually go through the heads of other people? Could it be that each one of us uses a completely different method of thinking? Could it be that the electrical impulses and function of each mind is as unique as the fingerprints and faces we all wear as individuals?

Taken from Signal Hill, this is a photo of Cabot Tower, in St. John’s Newfoundland. Cabot Tower was built in 1897 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of John Cabot’s discovery of Newfoundland. / In addition to being the site of harbor defenses for St. John’s from the 18th century to the Second World War, Signal Hill was the reception point of the first transatlantic wireless signal by Guglielmo Marconi in 1901. He received the letter “S” in Morse Code sent from Cornwall, England. / Cabot Tower is now the center of the Signal Hill National Historic Park, Canada’s second largest historic park, with walking trails, and an interpretation center. Special Thanks to Colin Tobin for use of his camera and the lessons! In the buyer’s booth you can see what a printed card of this image looks like courtesy of Sharon Perrett. Thanks Sharon!

Cattails, also known as Bullrush or Corndog grass, are wetland plants typically 1 to 7 m tall. They have spongy, strap-like leaves and starchy, creeping stems (rhizomes), and the root systems help to prevent erosion. The plants themselves are often home to many insects, birds and amphibians. They grow along lake margins and in marshes, often in dense colonies. Cattail have a wide variety of parts that are edible to humans, and can be a source of ethanol. They do not require much, if any, maintenance. I took this photo with my Canon Rebel XSI, slight editing using Lightroom 2. I found these cattails around the corner from my house, just off of the trail around Mundy Pond.

Stock used; / Tasastock / and sxc.hu According to Greek myth, Apollo chased the nymph Daphne (Greek: Δάφνη, meaning “laurel”), daughter either of Peneus and Creusa in Thessaly,[1] or of the river Ladon in Arcadia.[2] The pursuit of a local nymph by an Olympian god, part of the archaic adjustment of religious cult in Greece, was given an arch anecdotal turn in Ovid’s Metamorphoses,[3] where the god’s infatuation was caused by an arrow from Eros, who wanted to make Apollo pay for making fun of his archery skills and to demonstrate the power of love’s arrow. Ovid treats the encounter, Apollo’s lapse of majesty, in the mode of elegaic lovers,[4] and expands the pursuit into a series of speeches. Daphne prays for help either to the river god Peneus or to Gaia, and is transformed into a laurel (Laurus nobilis): “a heavy numbness seized her limbs, thin bark closed over her breast, her hair turned into leaves, her arms into branches, her feet so swift a moment ago stuck fast in slow-growing roots, her face was lost in the canopy. Only her shining beauty was left.”[5] The laurel became sacred to Apollo, and crowned the victors at the Pythian Games.[6] Most artistic impressions of the myth focus on the moment of transformation

Inspired by The Smashing Pumpkins song, Daphne Descends and uploaded for a challenge. It started off as one idea, and became something else! Lyrics: With the sugar sickness / You spy the kidnap kid / Who kids you to oblivion / It’s the perfect hassle / For the perfumed kiss / He makes you miss him more than home You love him / You love him more than this / You love him and you cannot, you can’t resist / You love him / You love him for yourself / You love him and no one, no one else Past sidewalk ashes / A last lovers arc / You come apart to intertwine / It was all so simple / As you watched him move / Across the darkness in your room You love him / You love him for youself / You love him and no one, no one else And through the winding vines / The pretty boys dive / And through the pinhole stars / Into the shadow mind / You will lose him then / On some gentle dawn / This boy is here and gone You love him / You love him for yourself / You love him and no one, no one else / You love him / You love him more than this / You love him and you cannot, you can’t resist You love him… Stock credits: Background / Room / Model / Diving man / Glitter brushes / Vine brushes / Hands / Rose PSE 7.0/Topaz Adjust (Spicify) Featured in Music Inspired Art (M.I.A.), September 2009.
