soso pretty.[oncewed.com]

you're so beautiful now (smile)

Jump 'long the creekside
The rock's crooked line
Fun curls your hair and
The days open wide

And horses trot faster 'til sparrows fall down
But you just fall, laughin', to the snow on the ground
You grew up by playin' the valley so wild
And that's why
You're so beautiful now

And, dancin' your bike to the lonesome, young mare
You call up her owner; say your heart will be there
You'll build a collection of scars on your knees
To learn how to count the impossible trees
You grew up by climbin' the birches so high
And that's why
You're so beautiful now

And we live so close that we probably seen
The same bird, the same time
They solumnly scream
One day, I'll find just that friend who can see
All this weird beauty
Thrown right at me

Growin' by playin' the valley so wild
And that's why
You're so beautiful now

smile: pretty hair & pretty journals from there's sun in my eyes [http://www.flickr.com/photos/lesleykerr/sets/72157622244785904/];

smile: pretty song, tallest man on earth-thrown right at me

your thoughts

i am fascinated by the way an image can affect our emotions. how our brain must continually make sense of everything we see...find some sort of pattern or repetition in an image (subconsciously or not.) when i see an image i always attempt to formulate some sort of story to explain it. let me know (oh you who maybepossibly read this) what emotions one or more of these images below provoke. what sort of story might lie behind them and give them purpose. or whether you see any purpose at all in them. obviously, the photographers and artists already have stories and meanings for them all, but i want to see what you come up with. at least how that particular image affects your emotions.

i would like to know what you think.

marc johns has tshirts people! three cheers for that. [http://marcjohns.spreadshirt.com/pipe-smoking-rabbit-mens-white-A6687629/customize/color/1]

(SMILE)

what shall we say then? is there injustice on God's part? by no means! for He says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." so then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy. --romans9:14-16

this makes me smile. [http://dontwasteyourlife.com/post/1293283216/predestination-when-properly-understood-the]

{RIP} domino mag

domino magazine was a gem. unfortunately i discovered it only a few months before it went out of print. luckily, someone was smart enough to save some of the beloved images, and uploaded them to flickr! [http://www.flickr.com/photos/8230585@N06/with/3281452913/]

here are a few of the rooms...

PS. domino had a major hand in influencing me towards interior design. beautifulstuff.

a black bathroom. (and a beautiful one) something you're ONLY supposed to do when ample sunlight is available. unless, of course, you like pretending that you live in a cave.then it's ok.
would love to sit and read in that very spot...plus, animalskin rugs are the best.
colourrr. and art collage. love it all.
love the print on the chair.
too bad the fireplace isn't made much of in this one. apparently they'd rather ignore it. the space planning and scaling need some help, but it's still pretty.
wallpaper is totally back.
love this one.
i love a good white bedroom. so fresh.

tapestryyylove.
