Shine on

As we let our light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission
to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence actually liberates others.
(Marianne Willamson)

May there always be some shining light in your life! :-)

Superhydrophobic Droplet Logic
(which means that Beck will have to think of a new name for his next album)
–––
Smart Drops

Tiny drops of water can be used for basic computing. Researchers have devised a way to convert tiny drops of water into encoded digital information, building a simple computer out of just water droplets and a water-repellant surface. … using a hydrophobic surface that causes water to bead up and roll off, researchers can follow the trails of individual water droplets along paths in the surface. That predictability allowed researchers to build simple computers like a memory device that tracks the droplets and encodes them as bits of information, with drops on one track representing ones and drops on the other representing zeroes. They even demonstrated machines that can use the technology to complete basic Boolean operations.

Place I like to be when sun is coming up....

Some places have something, especially at a certain time of day. This place means magic for me, when sun came up every time I'm here. Believe me I come here regularly.

Hope you like it too, have a nice day, evening  or ?

Intricate Balance


“It’s never something huge that changes the everything, but instead the tiniest of details, irrevocably tweaking the balance of the universe while you’re busy focusing on the big picture.”  ~~ Sarah Dessen

Hidden Path, Grass - Algarve(Portugal)
“Mystics are not themselves. They do not exist
in selves. They move as they are moved,
talk as words come, see with sight
that enters their eyes. I met a woman
once and asked her where love had led her.
Fool, there's no destination to arrive at.
Loved one and lover and love are infinite.” 
by Attar of Nishapur

Young Love

Day by day,
Game by game
I tried to bribe you
To get something from you,
A smile, a sign of attention
But my heart begged for your affection

Those years have gone by
And they are now but a sweet memory
Yet, your face, your touch, your presence
Still linger
As the sweetness of youth
The perfume of a newly formed bud

If you reached back
Even then
I wouldn't know what to do.
How to take it.
I'd be timid, shy, apologetic.
How cruel and simplistic. 

You came
like mist in a winter morning
With freshly aromatic due
And left a life long presence
Into which I rejoice daily.
My dear first young love.

Bridge to cross....

That's what I think life is. It's just another misty bridge to cross. You ask no questions. Whatever work it is you gotta do, you gotta go over it, under it, through it, around it, to do it. 


Have a nice foggy day ;-)...

Day 340/366
Even the most subtle of subjects can bear interesting curves and textures.  Take some time to really get to know what you're shooting, but not with your bare eyes.  View it through your lens, and study different areas.  If your gear is heavy, and your arms are getting tired, you're almost there.

Sea stacks and rocky coastline at Soberanes Point, Garrapata State Park, Big Sur, California USA

Here's a moody sunset view of one of my favorite spots along the California coast.
