  1. The power of a picture…..beautiful, sultry, calling me to her; the deep water and cold fog…..

    images like this one haunt me through my life, always deep cold water always dark and always calling……

  2. nice shot. i esp. like the green glowing light and its reflection.
    and how the image seemingly ends abruptly inside the frame.
    weir is a great word.

  3. oooo! so pretty! i am in a purple thing lately. i liked what you wrote about your dad– intense. it adds a dimension to your person i can see from that. sometimes, i feel i am a bi-product of shame. ha ha ha. in a good way.
    i got this off wiki answers: what is the opposite of shame?

    “That would depend on what semantic axis operates in identifying the antonym.

    shame is opposite to guilt depending on the the source of dejection; external or internal; hence they are opposites.

    shame is opposite to honor or respect as a social relations depending on whether others give approval or disapproval.

    shame is opposite to regret/repentance depending on whether one focuses on the result or the cause.

    shame is opposite to self-worth as the former destroyes self-worth, while the latter resists the former.

    And so on.”
