Struggle till' Dawn

Dwell not upon thy weariness, thy strength shall be according to the measure of thy desire.

Arab Proverb




*Yesterday morning I was abruptly awakened by prodding from none other than Cody, with my sweater stretched out in his hands, he says "Get your camera, you have to see this sky!". I groggily wanderer over to the window and lifted the panel to behold the most commanding sky that called to be captured, if there's nothing to cause an unmotivated soul to get their butt in gear it would definitely be a sunrise as grandiose as the one you see above. I know, it's not the best photo you've seen from me but I could care less about that. I could have trekked over the brush separating our yard from the neighbors but I didn't want to!! I've noticed other morning skies from my bathroom window while getting ready for work, but until yesterday I never felt compelled to actually make the effort to digitally record a Charlie Hollar Sunrise. Maybe this is my opportunity to wake up a little earlier in the mornings to gather more sunrise photos such as this............

Burning Day

Racing to reach a spot so that we could capture this amazing sunset I was worried that it would become another surpassed interchange to the evening. I love sunsets like nothing else in this world, they are so stunning and marvelous words can't even begin to describe the shear beauty they represent. On our way home from the cemetery we watched the sky morph from one color to the next and were intent on finding a spot that would allow us to capture the essence of an end to a great day. Sometimes I miss being by the water..........

Tonight Cody and I went to one of the last showings at the $2.00 theater, cheap as I am we may never see a movie on the big screen again! 3:10 to Yuma is a movie I've been wanting to see since if first debuted, a) because Christian Bale is my most favorite male actor EVER and b) Because it was a western style flick. If there is one thing you would never guess about me, it would be my affinity for John Wayne films, hence my partiality to westerns in general! I heard someone saying that they thought 3:10 to Yuma was on the same level as Tombstone, and to a certain degree I concur. This movie doesn't have the star studded cast that Tombstone was given but the story was what did it for me. The ending wasn't such a surprise but it was very different from the norm - I liked it a lot! I highly recommend seeing this movie for yourself; action packed from beginning to end. Unfortunately we did miss the first 5 minutes or so.................................

Emblem of Innocence

People often say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look.
