New blog

So I started a new blog that will be public if you want to check it out:

http://dailydbt.xanga.com/

To clarify, I'll still be keeping this one, just working on that one as well.

Thinking of you

The other day, I came across a picture of a cardinal on facebook.  It reminded me of a former coworker of mine, who had once shared that her mother loved cardinals.  Now I think of her whenever I see one, or a picture of one, and I shared the picture on her wall.

A friend of mine from Girl Scouts always enjoys hippos, and I think of her every time I see one. 

And this is how it goes.

An owl reminds me of a former friend of mine that is still dear to my heart.  A dragonfly, a friend that always wears a dragonfly necklace.  A turtle, a close cousin that I grew up with. An eagle, another cousin.  My friend's husband wants a pot-bellied pig for a pet, so I think of them when I see one.  The list goes on.

And apparently someone thinks of me every time she sees Ben & Jerry's ice cream. (She knows me well!)

Isn't it amazing what associations we form about other people, that seeing something makes us think of them?  What (other than ice cream and tie-dye shirts) remind you of me?  What do you think reminds other people of you?

Landscape Pictures Part 2

Just a few pictures that I missed the other day that I think are pretty cool.

I always think it's so cool when you can see the moon during the day....

Locals get bonus points if they can name where this is. ^

Yeah, I'm kind of proud of that one. ^

No, of course I wouldn't take a picture of the sunrise while I'm driving my son to school.  Nope, not me.

And now, let the moon and the water bid you Good Night.

Landscape Pictures

I'm posting these for @megabyyte.  She didn't ask me to, but I too enjoy taking pictures on occasion (although not nearly as much as her!)  so I thought I'd share some of mine.  Enjoy, dear! 

 

These first photos are from when I was 19, and I *just now* got them developed.  (Ummmm, I'm 34)

 

This was when I went on a camping trip to Shenandoah National Forest.  Officially that's an 8 man tent, but it was certainly a pain in the ass to put up!

 

This was a hiking trail through Shenandoah, I believe this may be part of the Appalachian Trail, but I could be wrong. It's been a long time, after all.

 

There's a story behind the picture of this tree, but it's personal, so I'm not going to share.  Sorry!

 

This and the next few pictures were taken on Dec 29, 2012 at Sharon Woods Park in Cincinnati, OH.

I'm pretty proud of this next one....

Eh, that wasn't the one I thought it was.  I guess I'll have to look around to find the one I was thinking of, although it's close.

^That was the one I was thinking of!  I'm kinda proud of that, I think it came out pretty good!

My artsy fartsy tree shot.  I was sad that you couldn't tell there was snow on the tree when it came out.

This was from a few years ago, and is actually waaaaaay back in this blog.  Forget snow men. Snow kitties are better.

I was kind of proud of this shot as well, I liked how you could really see the ice on the grass, although it may need to be bigger for you to really tell.

And finally, some sunsets to round off the landscape pics.

 

Hope you've enjoyed the slide show, all!

Retroactively titled "Mindfulness"

I think I wrote this, although I think I was inspired by some phrases that are copied from other sources.  Sadly, I do not remember what those other sources were.

 

February 28th, 1998

 

Remember the rainbow that danced across the sky?

The wave that flowed through the sand?

Remember the little bits of beauty that surround you?

For the same rain that grows the hay

will drown the rat

And the same sun that melts the ice

will harden the clay

It's the little details that make the whole

Yet they are forgotten, drifting in the wind.

Remember the beautiful sunset?

Did you notice the individual colors?

Details that form the whole

And sometimes,

The hardest lesson to learn,

Is the least complicated.
