Patience is a young beautiful woman whom life has tested so that her name has become her virtue. She is totally unaware of her beauty both inside and out, if you tell her she is beautiful she shys away from the compliment. She hides away believing herself ugly but she doesn’t see what we see – a young, vunerable but intelligent and deeply sensual woman.
This photograph was taken with a very old Emprex digital “point and shoot”. It was taken at night – using the ‘nighttime’ preset – and with a tripod but there was no setting for shutter speed. Thus, the image blurred rather dramatically. Once I got a feel for how bad the blurring was going to be, I started taking numerous shots “badly” with a $77 camera. This one was re-editing using the original but with much more advanced editing programs than I had available at the time.
I followed a family around at several of our area Pow Wows….mainly because the grandfather, Badger, to me, was stunning in his full regalia. At this particular Pow Wow his grandson (not this fellow) was actually given the honor of ‘Prince of the Show’..........which meant basically? That he was THE head dancer even though? He was only 9! / This fellow leaning against the trunk of his car is one of his son’s…......I believe there were 3? Or was that cousins…....ugh….anyway. I chased this guy down and finally caught him here and at the drums with his father. It wasn’t that he didn’t want his photo taken? He was just camera shy. :o) / Kickapoo Nation
Patience is… ...turkey hunting. : ) Turkeys have INCREDIBLE eyesight. They say that a turkey will catch the movement of a blink from 50 yards or more. What do you think? Ready to give it a try? ; )

A fishing boat sits idle, and has done so for about the past two weeks, secure behind the sea wall. The wind has been howling in, along the coast here, and the seas are very rough.

A bench in a garden that I pass by often while out for a walk in a wooded area that is behind a nearby subdivision. I always stop and take a look at this bench patiently waiting for spring to arrive. It is a lovely spot with lots to look at, even in winter.
