I know the quote is long but it is from someone I admire.

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you as the storms their energy, while cares drop off like Autumn leaves.-John Muir

And the poet said, Speak to us of Beauty.

And he answered:  IMG_0474 

Where shall you see beauty, and how shall you find her

unless she herself be your way and guide?  IMG_0477 

And how shall you speak of her except

she be the weaver of your speech?  IMG_0478 

Be not afraid for Beauty is of the Tree of Life.

Who grows and changes before us, is born and thus dies.

I am newly born as a ***  IMG_0769 copy.jpg ***  
In the arms of the darkest plant
between the piercing thorns
Now..sleeping so silently…

.

Dreaming for a warm embrace.
With the desire for a softest touch..
And dew drops on pale eye brows
guarded by knife like thorns!!”

Chester Does Manhattan

I work in Manhattan on 35th St and 7th Avenue and the photos that follow are from my lunchtime one hour walks.  Howie, my buddy of twenty years is usually walking with us.  The photos are snap shots but I have tried to make them as creative as possible. 

Manhattan is a lonely place if you allow it to be.  I don’t believe in the stereotypes of people being alone in a crowd.  Today Chester met some friendly people, had conversations with them, asked their names and generally made them happy to have met him. 

Life is short, Chester has only 30 days with me, so Chester and I are living on the edge, expanding the boundaries, getting to talk to all the pretty girls on the street.

A slideshow, let me know if you can see this, if you can't the photos are on my dashboard.

I was hoping to catch some great fall colors, but I was too busy the 2 weekends when the fall colors were at their peak, so I didn't get any nice color shots.  Here are some shots, I finally got to mess with a bit. No elk shots this time, just buffalo.

Theme Challenge....The Eagle And The Hawk

I am the eagle, I live in high country
In rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky.

I am the hawk and there's blood on my feathers.
But time is still turning, they soon will be dry.

And all those who see me, and all who believe in me
Share in the freedom I feel when I fly.

Come, dance with the west wind and touch the mountain tops, Sail o'er the canyons and up to the stars.
And reach for the heavens and hope for the future
All that we can be, and not what we are.

John Denver -  The Eagle  And  The Hawk

Talking about your troubles it's a crying sin
Ride a painted pony
Let the spinning wheel spin
