For the last hour, I have started a sentence, then started over, then stared at the computer screen waiting for words to come. I  had an in counter with a person this morning whom wanted to kill me, with a knife in his hand stabbing at me, full of rage, and there was nothing I could do to stop the incident. I can not understand wanting to hurt another person that much, to want to kill, or seriously hurt another person, what could be going through a person's head? A long time ago i was robbed by some person stabbing me from behind, leaving the knife in my stomach and grabbing my wallet and running, leaving me to bleed. That will never leave my mind til the day I die that incident and believe me, it hurts to think that people would do such a thing to a fellow man.But in this day and age, seems like there is a serious incident of somebody being hurt by the hands of another everyday in the paper.I am MAD! Mad as hell that we are doing this to each other. I'm sick at the way humans have no sence of the worth of another's life. What is WRONG! I have gone through so many emotions today, and now that its night and this incident is many hours past, I'm still losts for words. The the body wounds will heal I'm sure, but my faith in this dog eat dog human race is being pushed to the limits.

Over the last year I have visited different peoples blog sites to Read or look at their photos. There is one person thou, that has totally amazed me at the quality of the photos and the friendliness this person has given the blog world. Her work in her photos shows a class well above myself, and most others out there. Every photo she posts on her site is a work of art, yet she is humble about herself as a artist, which she truely is. I guess I just wanted to say, thanks "Bored Barb" for the last year of giving us some of the best photos I have seen. I know your health has been getting you down for the last bit, but hang in there spring is on the way. I look forward to when "Bored Barb" gets well again and gets out there to continue her great picture taking.

THis evening I was listening to some Strawbs and this song reminded me of "Bored Barb" so I got the words of the song and thought I would post the words along with the song for Barb, for she truely is a great Artist.

Is it the painter or the picture

Hanging in the gallery? 

Admired by countless thousands

Who attempt to read the secrets
Of his vision of his very soul
Is it the painter or the picture
Hanging in the gallery?
Or is it but a still life
Of his own interpretation
Of the way that God has made us
In the image of his eye?
Is it the sculptor or the sculpture
Standing in the gallery?
Touched by fleeting strangers
Who desire to feel the strength of hands
That realized a form of life
Is it the sculptor or the sculpture
Standing in the gallery?
Or is it but the tenderness
With which his hands were guided
To discard the unessentials
And reveal the perfect truth

Is it the actor or the drama
Playing to the gallery?
Heard in every corner
Of the theatre of cruelty
That masks the humor in his speech
Is it the actor or the drama
Playing to the gallery?
Or is it but the character
Of any single member of the audience
That forms the plot
Of each and every play

Is it the singer or his likeness
Hanging in the gallery?
Tongue black, still and swollen
His eyes staring from their sockets
He is silent now, will sing no more
Is it the singer or his likeness
Hanging in the gallery
Or is it but his conscience,
Insecurity, and loneliness
When destiny becomes at last
The cause of his demise

Hero and Heroine -- David Cousins    

 

Ho Ho Ho, nop that one was already done with (flip page , flip page) here it is

Woke up Saturday morning and there was Sunlight instead of the usual rain. Spent a few hours working on the car so that I could have some breaks, then went out to enjoy the sunlight, took a walk along the river, then went out into the woods. Spent the evening boxing up books that I had auctioned off. Was very happy with the response I got on the auction, more then I expected.Sunday cleaned house, then went out to Cultus

out by Chilliwack, not my kind of lake, too many cabins around it he he. Temperature is cooling off and the clouds rolled in so most like rain again tomorrow, Was listen to some tunes this evening and put on Three Dog Night's Naturally, haven't heard this album in years so thought I would let you all have a listen.

 

It was foggy out tonight so went for a walk. Didn't use any flash nor filters, just a tripod so the photos are dark being that there wasn't much light to draw from.

These guys are great, what else can I say he he, so heres another tune by Honeybus. This was actually their first hit they had back in the late 60's. Its was another rainy weekend, spent Saturday going through old books putting up the collectables up for auction, boxing up the others. Today (Sunday) got out in the rain for the day took a few photos, the day was gloomy so the photos are not full of color. The papers have been informing us that this coming week we might be getting an Earthquake and to be prepaired, gives a person something to look forward to. I guess waite and see, I'll make sure the batteries are charged to the camera just in case. Maybe it was be the big one who knows. Anyways, coming up to the witching hour so better get to it,  have a great week all
