Walk Through the Botanical Gardens

Beauty of the Garden

Follow me and let's take a walk through the Botanical Gardens. Along the way stop for a few moments and take in the warm fuzzy feelings that the beauty of the garden can give to you.

Recently, as most of you already know I have set my goals and focus on becoming a more serious photographer. I believe that each artist has a certain focus and places a lot of attention into that focus. Photography has reached the top of my own personal goal list, I know what I want to focus on and I know what I want to accomplish. But as with every goal, we must learn to take those baby steps and try not to run before we can walk.

Kindred the Embrace

Kindred the Embrace-1996 Vampire Series

Kindred the Embraced was written by Aaron Spelling and it was a prime time drama that revolved around the lives of the clan based vampire society in San Francisco. The series although short lived was inspired by the role playing game Vampire: The Masquerade. Kindred the Embrace only aired seven episodes and it was said that the show just could not find its mainstream audience. That is really hard for me to believe because it actually had a very good story line. It aired April-1996 to May-1996. One of the Lead Actors Mark Frankel who played "Julian Luna" who was the Prince of San Francisco died in September of the same year.

Chocolate Dippers

Okay, that is taking it a little overboard, but you get what I mean. I LOVE chocolate!! This is lens 2 of 30 for the challenge I am doing. I know the niche of dipping things into chocolate has been covered and I will post some of those links, but I had to write this page. Do you want to know why?

When I was a teenager I had a few different jobs at once (three to be exact) and on the occasion when I could get a day off I would take a little bit of one of my paychecks and go downtown; at that time I was living in Colorado Springs. Even being that young I knew how important it was to treat yourself once in a while, this is how I treated myself: I would go to the Goodwill store and see if they had any ripped jeans that fit me, I would buy them and patch them up. (Yes, my hippie days) Than I would get me some chocolate covered popcorn from a vendor wagon. This was a HUGE treat for me. Nowadays, you see chocolate popcorn everywhere, but not back then.

Since I am known for liking different food combinations, I thought I would share of my favorite things dipped in chocolate.

I Dream of Chocolate

I am in the process of writing a new lens for that one challenge I am doing and I needed a picture of my introduction module. So I decided to take one and this was the result. I like it so much that I decided to make a few Zazzle products out of it for the other Chocolate lovers out there!! http://amplify.com/u/a19uuq

What does the color Purple represent?

Purple has always been one of my favorite colors. Purple represents so many spiritual things and is considered to be the color of the Goddess. It is also the color that represents our crown chakra and it is the Reiki Master Symbol color.

Purple is a mixture of red and blue. With red being the warmest color and blue being the coolest color it is believed to be the union of body and soul creating a balance between our physical and our spiritual energies. With Red being a color of focus, dynamic and active energy and blue being the color of calming and cooling energy, it is associated with imagination, inspiration and spirituality.

Purple and violet represent the imagination and dreams, while spiritually calming the emotions. These colors enhance psychic ability and spiritual enlightenment, and because of the red being one of the colors in the mixture for purple, it helps keep us grounded.
