Multimedia Eclectic-From the Hard Drive
creep one
who you calling ugly
eve's dilemma
here comes the sun
le charme de sud
there is a fountain filled with blood, drawn from Immanuel's veins, and sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains
creep two
perfect for piecing quilts
Grandma's Hands
Grandma's hands were smooth and white
When I was a child.
And labored long at tasks untold
From dawn till well past setting sun,
And sometimes cuffed me into line
Along with words though stern, still kind
To make a young boy wise.
And when I'd grown
They'd labor still
Well into the night
With untold thimbled needle thrusts
Punctuating time.
But then they were but skin on bones
That would wrinkle up in mine
As hand in hand we'd talk and sit;
I'd listen with delight,
To tales of life and love and woe
And watch those transparent hands in mine
And see the blood go coursing by.
Grandma's hands were smooth and white
When I was a child.

These are soooo beautiful. Wonderful color. You know, you got the colorful thing down, kinda like how you got the spices down in the food you cook.
Hmmm...the caged birds are interesting too. I confess, I haven't seen all the photos cause my internet is super slow and oh my gosh, it's really late. I'm trying to coax an over-stimulated brain to sleep by writing etc...

These photos are outstanding. I’m particularly fond of the multicolored pasta and the colorful chalk shots, cause as laura said, you've got the color thing down. Hey, how’d ya get the song in the post? Nice.

Thank you, Laura and Heidi. Yes, I guess a common thread of these photos is color. Heidi, the pasta is from a little stall in Soulard. They have all sorts.
I linked the song from a site called http://webjay.org/ which allows you to listen to songs from people's playlists and link to them. I hope it is legal. I generally check to see if a song is listed by going to Google putting in part of the song title and the word "webjay," though the site has its own search page.

Hey maybe it is because I am preaching on marriage and teaching on relationships but I thought the picture of the tire tracks in the snow could nicely be entitled and the two shall become one. It is neat how they come in seperately and then intertwine and then go off in one direction. Of course that is asuming that you are moving away in the shot. Well done, thanks for bringing color into a gray world.
