..........on the Other Side 1

I know I haven't posted anything in ages. I’m not going to give any excuses but I'll say two things. One, It might not have been such a great idea to introduce my camera to the concrete pavement at such a high velocity and two, the economy is not what it used to be. Those sound like excuses, don't they? :) That being said, I still get a few keepers with my broken camera.

It's been a long November for me, in this the 27th year of my life. A few significant things have happened that right now I am asking why (Enigma) and feeling helpless because for the most part, all I can do is sit and wonder (The Verve). Not a feeling I can say that I've had much experience with, but we all get to that point at one time or another I guess. What gets me through though is having support, which thankfully is there, and knowing that all will be well and that I will emerge stronger "..........on the Other Side". Looking forward to a spectacularly fine 2009 (that's my lame attempt and a rhyme :))

These two images capture my November and the future. I took the first earlier this year during summer while on the Staten Island ferry and the second was taken three years ago in Jamaica.

Go Green!

Well, I am a few days late for Earth Day, but since we all live here, everyday is earth day! In that spirit lets all do our part and "Go Green!". This one is doing double duty; it's a cheer for my favorite color, which has been missing in action for the last few months on the blog, and it's a reminder for us to do all we can to maintain this beauty.

Seasons

I noticed this while looking out the apartment's bathroom window.

Vinca

My grandmother has a lot of "Vinca" plants in the yard, but they have never really caught my attention; until now. It was early afternoon and I was just browsing around the yard (on my vacation, so I'm allowed to idle) and kept seeing more of these so i decided to take a few pictures and voilà; this popped into view!

Throne

Spotted this little guy surveying his kingdom from his "throne"

Life

Simple, sustainers of "Life". I wonder what we woud be without them.....we wouldn't be wondering.

Joy

You scratch my back i'll scratch yours and we can experience the "joy" of each other

Brothers

These branches were on the same tree in my aunt's garden but you'd never know. Somehow there was this odd distance between them. No worries! These "brothers" are bridging the gap.

Closing

"Closing". End of the line for this pineapple plant.

Explorer

This little guy fell into the same category as i did, on that day in my grandmothers backyard. "Explorer". Look closer.

Convergence

Went to my second home (have many although i don't actually own any, this particular one belongs to my grandmother) on one of my vacations and was outside just checking out the changes to the backyard and i stumbled across "Convergence". This banana plant leaf beautifully backlit by the evening sun. My favorite color definitely shines.

Differences

I hauled my laundry downstairs and was distracted by thoughts of my upcoming exam. The thoughts waned as i gazed through the window and was captivated by "Differences". Perfect greeen leaves against a pristine, cloudless blue sky. This tree reaching towards the sky as i was reaching for my goals.
