This photo is a personal triumph for me. Catching sun dogs intentionally has been something I've been trying to do for ages but not managing to achieve. Sometimes I catch a sun dog without trying; that's always exciting. I really don't like the look of sun dogs (or most things) added into a photo with editing software (or apps, are we supposed to call everything an app now?)<br /><br />Anyway, this photo makes me happy because I tried to catch the sun dogs and succeeded. I also think it's a beautiful photo of the river valley landscape and sky.<br /><br />I makes me happy.Imcombobulatedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03812472199510321224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5289968263003887781.post-20331024699718597972016-09-10T22:05:00.002-07:002016-09-10T22:05:38.771-07:00Laid Back in his LayBak<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
My lovely partner has little traditions that make our house a home. At Christmas, she puts green and red sugar crystals in our sugar jar, red at Valentine's, orange if she can find them at Hallowe'en.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She also keeps a tiny vase of flowers from our garden in the bathroom, on the toilet, in the months when there are flowers to be harvested. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't grow up with traditions. She is continuing ones her mother had. I don't know if her mother began them or continued little moments of beauty, of small change that mark seasons and events.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are more. We're in Toilet Flower Season.</div>

With the internet lockdown in Turkey, few photos are emerging of the violence during the coup (I can't bear to post what has been shared from the Bosphorus Bridge in İstanbul where my first baby took her first steps on my 30th birthday... death, blood, my heart breaks.)<br /><br />Türkiye Erdoğan tarafından tahrip edilmiştir.</div>

She can rock out. She's announced that k.d. lang should watch out, because there's a new lesbian from Alberta who is going to be a bigger star.<br />
<br />
She knows all the lyrics to <i>Hallelujah</i> but is pretty sure she sings the song better than k.d. She also knows all the lyrics to <i>Punk Rock Girl</i> by The Dead Milkmen, <i>Joy</i> by Lucinda Williams, <i>It's A Hard Knock Life </i>from the musical, <i>Annie</i>, and, courtesy of her other mother, <i>F*ck The Pain Away</i> by Peaches.<br />

This girl is gonna take the world by storm. (And I'll use my good camera, not the crappy iPhone camera next time she asks for a punk cut.)Imcombobulatedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03812472199510321224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5289968263003887781.post-41063624584350139702016-07-16T20:44:00.004-07:002016-07-16T20:44:24.048-07:00Ama vejeteryanım<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />Like a bird on the wire<br />
Like a drunk in a midnight choir<br />
I have tried in my way to be free<br />
Like a worm on a hook<br />
Like a knight from some old fashioned book<br />
I have saved all my ribbons for thee<br />
<br />
If I, if I have been unkind<br />
I hope that you can just let it go by<br />
If I, if I have been untrue<br />
I hope you know it was never to you<br />
Like a baby, stillborn<br />
Like a beast with his horn<br />
I have torn everyone who reached out for me<br />
But I swear by this song<br />
And by all that I have done wrong<br />
I will make it all up to thee<br />
<br />
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch<br />
<b><i>He said to me, "You must not ask for so much."</i></b><br />
<b><i>And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door</i></b><br />
<b><i>She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"</i></b><br />
<br />
Oh like a bird on the wire<br />
Like a drunk in a midnight choir have tried in my way to be free<br />~Leonard Cohen<br /><br /><br />Why not ask for more? I want more of this world. I want more kindness. I want less death, less murder, less pain... and until it happens, I want more people to CARE.<br /><br />Everything is wrong and horrible and dripping in blood, revenge, hate and people are more interested in capturing Pokémon on illegally downloaded apps.<br /><br />What is the cure for apathy???Imcombobulatedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03812472199510321224noreply@blogger.com0
