Stray Poetry

My pack is 35lbs, and that is even with the <2lbs subnotebook that I carry!!

I have too many of the oldfashioned paper notebooks, and other junk. I love my backpack, but when it gets that heavy, it is not enjoyable at all to carry around. I have to lighten up on all of the stuff that I am carrying. 

I did a ‘Whats in your bag’ Meme a while back on flickr, but I must do it again, because that forces me to re-evaluate what I am actually carrying.

I have installed a spam catcher on this blog. I have been hoping to avoid it, but since there has been such a huge influx of spam, I feel that I no longer have much choice.

I have chosen a system that uses Javascript, and Cookies to fool the spambots!!

Picked up my bike this morning where I left it last night (@ Church) and then rode to Fresh Cup, where I replied to a few Emails, and did a little photo editing, @ about 10am, I headed off to work, which is where i am now.

I also picked up a new set of KOSS earbuds to replace the pair I had previously. (They broke within 2 weeks)

So now I am getting ready to head out and get some work done. I have my camera with me, and I hope to get some photos today. The rain has washed the world green.

Scarlette in Cradle

It has been a little while since I posted a new photo of Scarlette, and so I thought it was a good time to for it now.
Here she is!

I don’t do well with little sleep. My brain starts to shut systems down, and I become little more than a Zombie.

I am finding that even if my sleep cycle is disrupted for a half-hour during the night, that it has the same effect as if I missed half the nights sleep. Last night Scarlette woke up about 2am, and even though we were only up for twenty minutes or so, I feel this morning as though I haven’t slept at all.

When I first woke up, Ami asked me to hand her the Pacifier on the nightstand. She might as well have been speaking French for all the sense that it made to me. I looked at her in a complete daze, and wondered what she just said. I had to mull it over, to figure out what she had meant.

When you are that tired, even your native language doesn’t make sense.

Oh, dinner, dinner, dinner.

When i am hungry, this hits the spot.

Sunlit sea, becalmed of storm,

And darkened sky, lit with sun,

The small ship not lies battered and torn.

And all aboard have drowned every one.

But the ripples and waves…

Know no such sorrow..

they shift and sway, the timbers and staves.

Forlorn and lost they shift ’till morrow.

The starry sky shines down with light..

Littered with hope for those that have none.

and those few one the shore, who sleep through this night,

Knowing not, that far to the east, ‘neath sky devoid of sun.

The cold lifeless sea hold in its clutch..

A small tattered flag, with the name-

‘darcy swell’ gilt in gold, lit with the touch,

With the finger of god, the same.

This was a poem I started in 2001, that never quite got off the ground.

a bucket of color

This says spring!!! I am so happy that the snow is gone, and there are colors popping up everywhere. I took this photo while walking from the coffee shop where I had been doing some writing, to work.

I could not resist this photo, how the grass is poking up, and the flowers are so full of color!!

I have had the domain luciditystudios.com for several years, and have used it for various things, but what I have wanted to do for a while is to use it for a photo blog.

I have had this idea on the back burner for some time, and since I have been using a combination of ‘flickr’ and ‘deviantart’ to host my photography work, but this is not very efficient, I want to have closer control over my work, so I have decided to move all of the data there. 

I will watermark all of my online photos to point back to luciditystudios.com, and also link back on my ‘about pages’ I will also use all active hyperlinks to pull images from my server, and that way will have better domain priority on Google.
