    … of the year when Iris are making their annual splash in yards and fields and some varieties  like this white and yellow one are especially compelling and the fibrous nature of their petals which just cry out to have their intricate beauty released and you end up with a photographic piece of art like this.

    It is spring and life abounds everywhere … I like to think of my friends looking at these photos in the morning whilst enjoying multiple shots of my favorite beverage, espresso, listening to some birds singing theirs songs in the glorious crisp morning air. Sometimes I decry all the people walking around looking at the smart phones in the palm of their hand and missing out on beauty like this … then I am reminded that fully 38% of my emails are viewed on smart phones which translates into thousands of people walking around looking at my work … maybe … so perhaps it is not such a bad thing after all. In the interest of safety, take a break, drink some espresso and then gaze into the depths of beauty. There is an inner world and perhaps we can transition into it and lose ourselves in mystical wonder.

    Today was magic … coffee, scones, fruit and fascinating conversation with friends this morning, time on the deck with One as she inserted herself into the Texas Sage to await the unwary sparrows and finches that like to find shelter in there. The ability to fly and avoid capture is much more limited within the bush and she makes good use of that advantage. I like it, because I can just sit in one place and not have to follow her around the yard. And I had true health food for dinner as a friend brought a large meat lovers pizza over tonight. OMG it was good … and two slices left over for a healthy breakfast and again friends from NY coming over for coffee in the morning bringing apple fritters. Can you imagine a better or more healthy breakfast? Fruit (apple fritters), meat and dairy products (meat pizza), some carbs (the crust) and multiple shots of espresso to get you through the induced coma that would otherwise occur!

    Have a beautiful day … smile and enjoy every breath you are privileged to take. Seek beauty as we find what we seek.

    Cheers

    The Bloody Machine
    By Tommy Acosta
    What is a life anyway? A single “life?” Is it nothing more than a collection of emotions and thoughts, reverberating pain and pleasure, hopes, dreams and fear? Are we merely meat; flesh and blood creations encapsulating what we believe is a soul? Or is a single life the microcosm and macrocosm of human life on earth, each one of us a unique representation of who we believe we are and the whole of humanity at once? We are born. We grow old. We die. Everything we experience is but a dream between those two points. Or are we manifestations of a Divine Creator, every one of us complete in the image that we were made? So, we are told.
