Tell Me A Story

I want to fall down on the grass

Shrink beneath the flowers

Let the golden light envelope me

Hide me from the monstrous things

that threaten to overtake me

and sleep without a nightmare

Obsessed

Namine from The Clutter Box has given me an award. It has some rules. The rules are share 5 things that you are obsessed with and then pass the award along to 5 fabulous blogs you read:

1. Sadly, I have been obsessed with a video game lately. It's called Aion. And for those followers out there who do play video games. It's so beautiful but like every other game out there it has some set backs.

2. Blurry pictures or out of focus. I get a very mystery or unknown feeling from them and you will be seeing some fairly soon!

3. Whimsy music or folky... I am all about "The flowers by Regina Spektor" and "Life in a glass house by Radiohead"

4. I can't tell you about one because it has to do with some Christmas gifts so shh.

5. My blanket. It's getting cold and chilly my dear friends and I love wrapping up in it. It's an off brown and purple with a traditional floral print. LOVE IT!

Time to pass it the torch!!!

I would like to give this award to...


City Girl Knows: Islandia Lane
Little miss Obsessive: Grace Paath
Angel Lust: Kat Walk
Ali in Wonderland: Ali
Somethings from the Moon: The Girl from the Moon

This is Halloween!

Last Nature Walk...I hope..

I'm so glad this is the last nature walk. Not that I don't love nature. I do, but when I wake up early and then have to navigate because I have no idea where I'm going, stop at a gas station, turn down the wrong road and back track. Another bad side was that it had been raining since sun rise. The gravel trail was muddy, wet, and slippery, not good for cars or for walking. Well here are some of the photos from today.














P.s. Also I have announced the winner of my one year of blogging give away! Check it out!

*Costume*

I was really worried this year that I wouldn't be able to dress up. I didn't have a plan nor did I think I had the mula mula. BUT I have 8 more days to put together a groovy costume that I can prance around in! I think this will be the first year I don't have an actual title..like witch or gnome. I'm just going as a very colorful weirdo! hahahaha I'll post pictures as soon as i'm done.

Question: Is anyone else dressing up? If so what are you going to be?

And don't forget to participate in my giveaway that closes this Friday!!

Spooked (October Photography discussion)

October can mean many things from abundance of pumpkins, cool breezy weather, rustic colored leaves, Oktoberfest, and of course Halloween! Oh, how I enjoy Halloween! Getting to dressing up in costumes, indulging and giving candy, fall crafts, themed movies, and pumpkin carving. But one thing that pops up during this season that has been disputed time and time again is… Ghost Photography!


Ghost photography is very hard to prove since some times the photo can be just a trick of the eye; Light reflecting, sun rays, dust, bugs, and double exposures, and of course photo-shopping. There are a few photos that have so far stood the test of professionals and skeptics alike. Not to say they these are with out a doubt 100% real ghosts but they haven’t been disproven either. I would like to try it out this year maybe a few days before Halloween. Go to a cemetery at night maybe for an hour or two and take photos. Of course I won’t do this alone. I’ll have to drag some one along!

Do you believe in Ghost photography?
Do you think ghosts/spirits are even real?
Do you think its all trick of the eye (us wanting to see something that just isn’t there).
Do you only believe it if it’s a actual body human form (not orbs or light streaks).

Here are my personal favorite ghost photography images that have stood up to the skeptics and have not been disproved.

((None of these were taken by me))

(Photo Below: Taken by Terry Ike Clanton, Among the gravestones, just to the right of his friend, is the image of what appears to be a thin man in a dark hat. By height, the man appears to be either legless, kneeling... or rising up out of the ground.)


(Photo Below: Mrs. Mabel Chinnery was visiting the grave of her mother one day in 1959. She took an impromptu photo of her husband, who was waiting alone in the car. Mrs. Chinnery immediately after developing the film recognized the image of her mother)


(Photo Below: year 2000 in Manilla, Republic of the Philippines two friends were out for a walk. One of them asked a stranger to photograph them using her cell phone's camera. The girl being grabbed by the ghostly figure does not recall feeling the initial grab.)



(Photo Below: On November 19, 1995, Wem Town Hall in Shropshire, England burned to the ground. Tony O'Rahilly took photos of the spectacle with a 200mm telephoto lens from across the street. One of those photos shows what looks like a small, partially transparent girl standing in the doorway.)



(Photo Below: On August 10, 1991, Mari Huff was taking black and white photos with a high-speed infrared camera in an area of high activity. The cemetery was empty, except for the GRS members. When developed, this image emerged: what looks like a lonely sad girl in a dress.)


(Photo Below: Taken by the sibling of Denise Russell, It was taken on Sunday, 8/17/97, and they think the man behind her is their grandpa who passed away on Sunday, 8/14/84.)
