Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru deva, om
Nothing’s gonna change my world,
Nothing’s gonna change my world.
Nothing’s gonna change my world.
Nothing’s gonna change my world.
Only one of the best Beatles songs ever.
A lovely Etsian sent me a message saying my work is like painting with a camera. I totally dig it! :) We marketers looove our metaphors and creative play on words! Brainstorm sessions at work where you’re coming up with a name or a tag line for something has got to be one of the most hilarious part of our jobs. I am in tears every time we have one of these sessions – we get carried away so quickly and it becomes a laughing fest.
Both at work and at my Etsy shop. Busy, busy! But good busy. Say hello to the dancing Canadian Snowbirds. :)
This is Barcelona’s la Sagrada Familia – architect Antoni Gaudi’s work in progress. Read about it here. The line up to go in was around the block by 7:30AM – almost felt like I was lining up for the Backstreet Boys at Much Music back in high school. We paid a bit extra to go up to the top of the church but everything in this place is under construction so there wasn’t anything spectacular to see up there, but still an experience. :) This is available as an 8×12 at my Etsy Shop!
Snuck out to the lake to take this photo. I figured today is better than any other day to do a last “summer” photo since it’s going to get cold real fast real soon. I’ve been meaning to get this done, so I’m happy that I finally got around to it! :) It is also dedicated to a sweet friend in the skies, Dorothy, who passed away in October 2007, who was a lover of the beach and all beaches and beach bumminess remind me of her. Thinking of you, love!
But I was still intrigued by this book market in Madrid. It was a strip of outdoor bookstores that went on for a kilometre or so. Picturesque more than anything, that’s why I posed in front of one.. ha.
I’m actually looking forward to a semi low-key weekend and I’ve learned to be civil with rain and grey skies because it gives me a reason to relax indoors and not feel guilty about it.
Because all my photos come in pairs, at a minimum. I didn’t open this one though. ;)
And yes, it had to be that specific mailbox with that specific background. And yes, I was bad enough to open someone else’s mailbox to take a nice photo and I had to chase after a flyer that flew out of it. Anything for photography. I’m going to get myself in trouble soon enough. It’s all love.
If there is one thing I deeply envy, it is dancers. Dance is really one of my favourite art forms and I admire from afar. So You Think You Can Dance for instance, makes me really emotional. Anyway – this one is for dancers. Luckily this shot turned out quite pretty. I got home from work and rushed to the park to set this up super fast. And when the sunset was finally perfect, I started shooting away for a whole two minutes then a man came and completely interrupted and distracted me with a million questions and next thing you know, my perfect sunset was gone and I had all but five photos.
I’m pretty sure I’ve used this quote in another post, making this one a duplicate, but I do like it a lot that’s why. I’m so glad that there is still Vegas to look forward to in November. It’s getting so gloomy out there.
I’m also completely unimpressed with Canada Post. Is there anything slower than this thing? It is CRAWLING. None of my shipments have met their time guarantees and are taking forever to get to where they need to get to. At this rate, I’m going to take years off my life just worrying to death about my packages. It’s stressful and it’s a lot of anxiety because you can’t do anything about it. :( If I could hand-deliver everything to my lovely customers, I really would.
