Hope all is well.
This time the feature consists of two parts. The first one is dedicated to the Sun, Moon and stars. I couldn't believe how many amateur photographers able to reach that high and far... Enjoy!

Have a nice week and take care!

Hi folks!

I've got quite a few watchers, so I think it's time to feature their work as a thank you. Enjoy!









Boneworkstrust me in
    knowing that things will get better
    feeling the warmth of the sun
    touching the stars in the sky
will always bring you
closer to reality

even when reality
seems unreal
or the surreal
inhibitions we so
longingly and
achingly absorb
and hold onto
seem to drain
every ounce

life is abundant
if only to the
minimal amount
the incremental
forces in which
we hope for

that slow drip
of love
overdose
or don't take it at all.

trust me in knowing
that the end
is nowhere in sight

trust me in knowing
that the start
has long begun

oh god what I'd give
to taste it again

every bit of it.

forgive me,
for not trusting

Hi folks!

Our DA friend Light is in need. Both her and her sister Jess keep on fighting for the children, but the father (who is on the sex offenders list) keeps on getting custody. The court just doesn't seem to care about the fact that after spending some time with his so-to-say father a 3-year-old boy plays with his blanket telling it: "go to your fu**ing room blankie" or "get your fu**ing a** in the corner blankie"...

Every little helps. Let's not remain ignorant, but help to spread the word. If hundreds of us will make just a little donation, the girls will be able to pay the attorney and to continue (but what's more important - to win) their fight for the poor kids. The action should be taken immediately before anything horrible happens.

Please read Light's journal here: [link] , where you will also find a PayPal donation link.

I know a lot of you just can't donate, but, please, be so kind to spread the word, so more people can hear about this heartbreaking story and, hopefully, that will keep the donations coming their way.

Thank you!

Hi folks!

Just for your information - my "Dragonflies" is available as Firefox persona here: [link]

Here comes another mega feature of deviations that caught my eye this time. Enjoy!
