Knot of rope securing boat to Harbour, Looe Cornwall England
Old Oak tree has lost all its original limbs but recently sprouted a new top.
This yellow dory was tied to the wharf for the winter. The boat launch had quite a steep angle to it… you can see the ocean far below, so the dory was secured with these blue ropes.I loved the contrast between the yellow boat and the blue ropes holding it securely. / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography / / laminated print / /

Abstracts from Nature / This was once a brown tabby cat. Honest! Sebastian, my photo-ham kitty had me take one last pose. They were all beautiful shots, but I could only send one to RB, so I made a copy of one of them and started to play with it in Picture Publisher 5. It was okay. Then I got ahold of Pic Pub 10, and played with the effects it had to offer. Then I turned ti lime green- it looked okay, but not “finished”. The use of Light Artist did what was needed- added the brass and brown tones, and sort of aged the brightest lime color. I’d like to have a sculpture of this some day. But I suppose nobody would understand it. Now you do, though. Unravel it and it’s a cat!

A week after receiving a ‘deeksha blessing’, I kept envisioning this same symbol, over and over again, so yesterday I decided to attempt drawing it, photographed the drawing then began playing with it in photoshop7 and redfield plug-in fractilius. After finishing the piece, my curiosity got the better of me and I began searching to see if there was a meaning behind it… Turns out that it is one of eight “Auspicious Symbols of Buddhism” or Ashtamangala, associated with the physical form of Buddha. The endless knot or shrivatsa (sanskrit) is a closed, graphic ornament composed of right angled, intertwined lines. It is conjectured that it may have evolved from an ancient naga symbol with two stylized snakes. / It signifies a dramatic interplay/interaction of the opposing forces in a dualistic world of manifestation, leading to their union and ultimately to harmony in the Universe. This fact is amply reflected in the symmetrical and regular form of the endless knot. The intertwining of lines reminds us how all phenomena are conjoined and yoked together as a closed cycles of cause and effect. Thus the whole composition is a pattern that is closed on in itself with no gaps, leading to representational form of great simplicity and fully balanced harmony. Since all phenomena are interrelated, the placing of the endless knot on a gift or greeting card is understood to establish an auspicious connection between the giver and the recipient. At the same time, the recipient is goaded to righteous karma, being reminded that future positive effects have their roots in the causes of the present. This is because the knot represents a connection, a link with our fates, binding us to our karmic destiny. Not surprisingly, this is one of the most favorite symbols of Tibetan Buddhism, and often occurs independently on its own. Since the knot has no beginning or end it also symbolizes the infinite wisdom of the Buddha.

A Celtic Knot from my collection of them, this time a rainbow Celtic Eye knot. Borderless. All my Celtic Knots will be uploaded onto istock soon.
My Barklay ancestor is not from the Celtic nation of Scotland nor even Ireland but from the amazing land of Cornwall, one of the 7 Celtic Nations of the World. Cornish people are different from the English and they embrace their Celtic heritage, with mythical legends such as King Arthur and his knights galloping into Camelot or Tintagel castle as today it is known…there is no Faeries in Cornwall, the Pixies drove them all out long ago…the magical Celtic land of Cornwall, the land of my great, great grandfather… John Danell Barklay was born in 1842 in Truro, the only city in Cornwall, travelling around he left Great Britain and arrived in America where he joined the Federal Army for a while, moving on to Australia, first settling in South Australia he became manager and inspector of silver and lead mines. He eventually settled in Durham County, Newcastle, NSW, Australia and became a mining shareholder leasing Eaton’s Hotel where he was very well respected as being an excellent host for his guests. / John married Elizabeth Meyn in 1872 and they had 5 children, 1 being my great grandfather Harold Barklay… / My Cornish ancestor died in 1889 leaving us a legacy of Celtic and Cornish roots in the Barklay family and I for one embrace my ancestry and here is a work dedicated to My Celtic Roots… FEATURED in A.D.A.W.G / FEATURED in A Fractal Energy Passion / FEATURED in First Things This is a work made up of 3 layered images, a Celtic Cross from the cemetery, a Celtic Knot fractal creation made in Incendia and then a map of Cornwall superimposed as well with the colours I was seeking, the bright green Celtic colour with the purple of Merlins magical legends and then you can see the stone Celtic Cross has given me a stone castle wall look incorporated in too, many factors to see in here…
This is actually an old favorite of mine that I am bringing back = ) / We all wear a mask for different situations, work, family friends etc. Hopefully there is at least one person with whom the mask is chunked and you are free to be the real you 100% I am fortunate have several of these wonderful souls in my life. So in this I have tied the mask to the wall and wear it no more. Making this really made me think and even ultimately like me for me. I wrote this a few years ago and decided I would never be so caught up in the game of everyday life that I became this person. I hope you like the art/poem. Have an awesome day! Hugs vonne Illusion If a picture paints a thousand words / Then yours must be blurred / I can’t see through the haze / I can’t see past your steel gaze Reflections of the soul / Truths in the eyes are told / but your gaze is so cold In the daily grind that is life / You don your mask / You smile and laugh / Is any of it real / What do you really feel Is it all an act / Just ritual or routine / Stay too busy to notice / This void that runs through your core Will you notice / Will you look up and notice / When I am there no more Will anything or anyone ever really break through / Life they say is an illusion / I am starting to believe the illusion / is you… Yvonne Emerson 06
All of my children have had (or still have) curly hair, I cannot count the number of knots I’ve unknotted… Mila’s are especially bad as she winds her curls around her fingers until they’re completely entangled, sometimes trapping her fingers in the process. I love the quietness on her face in this portrait, and her eye lashes against her cheeks.
