between the dark and the daylight....The hot days of summer are early this year. The crickets and the kadydids are singing their song to the beat of the lighting bug's wing. There are smells of hot dogs roasting on the grill and laughter of the children playing in the sprinkler up the street. I heard the sound of an ice cream truck playing "Pop Goes the Weazel" and can't get it out of my mind!! Aww.... childhood!!
The Children's Hour
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Between the dark and the daylight,
   When the night is beginning to lower,
Comes a pause in the day's occupations,
   That is known as the Children's Hour.
I hear in the chamber above me
   The patter of little feet,
The sound of a door that is opened
   And voices soft and sweet.
From my study I see in the lamplight,
   Descending the broad hall stair,
Grave Alice, and laughing Allegra,
   And Edith with golden hair.
A whisper, and then a silence:

... born from the eye of beauty ...Looking is a gift, but seeing is a power.

Wish to all my friends a wonderful weekend!!!

I am little sad because the summer is finished and vacation too...

This year I was in vacation again in Giglio Island, because I love so much this is fantastic place!
I saw Concordia ship too...so sad..

And in this is little island they are work a lot with this ship, I could see it every day when I was there in August. I saw workers that work in this ship, I can give all my respect to them, because this is a VERY HARD work, I saw their tired faces...God bless them all!
And I can't understand people who go to take pictures of their "smiling" face near ship....of course I think they are don't lost nothing in this tragedy...but they are must have respect for people who survive in this is terrible incident and for this is 2 poor persons who still und

remember...."Remember??
Remember when you're sad and feelin' down
Remember turn around
Remember life is just a memory
Remember close your eyes and you can see
Remember think of all that life can be
Remember
Dream love is only in a dream
Remember
Remember life is never as it seems
Dream
Dream love is only in a dream
Remember
Remember life is never as it seems

Long ago, far away
Life was clear
Close your eyes "
~Harry Nilsson
I watched "You've Got Mail" tonight, probably for the millionth time since it came out. I just love the feeling of hope in this movie! Yes, I remember .... I turned around and my youth is gone. I remember that tomorrow is always a NEW beginning. I remember that long ago life WAS clear.... But I also remember when friends were friends regardless of their own personal circumstances.... now they are but a memory... a good one, though. I remember what the sun felt like today with the wind softly blowing on my face and the birds chirping added to nature'

A Gifted Talent XXIX...MonaDear friends of the arts please allow me to introduce to you Mona and her delightful world of art and wonderment.
Since I don't know which region of Earth that Mona calls home let's just assume she is from somewhere out there in the stars. Her imaginative work surely hints at other worldliness. As an artist Mona works mainly within the spectrum of traditional paintings. I am not qualified to go into the wonders of her technique and her unique style of creativity but allow me to say that I feel her work is among the very finest to be seen from the works of the many talented artists on DA. Her color palette is brilliant.
I think her words express best the scope of her artistic intention:
"A few months ago in 2012, I started painting and experimenting with traditional mediums; mostly watercolor and acrylics. Because I didn't have any art school background, in each of my artworks there is a sense of innocent exploration in which I have the freedom to express my emotions. The subject of man

Autumn features 241012Autumn through your eyes..

Happy Autumn_ updates _features.Dear friends /watchers
I hope you are all well. Firstly I would like to thank Karen :iconkarenfiore: for extending my subscription

, I also want to apologise for my unplanned long absence, I started a new job in September and it's been very busy ever since and there's just not enough hours in the day to do more things

I had to delete all the 10k deviations in my inbox but I will be catching up very slowy as you upload your latest. From my last journal I mentioned that I had run out of ideas for my photos but with autumn here, I managed to create at least 10 autumn deviations coming up. Thanks to all my watchers for the support

A Gifted Talent XXVII...IwanDear friends of the arts please allow me to introduce to you Iwan. Many of you know of him and his fine art photography...the rest of us should.
Photographs are images that exist in our heads that are eventually brought to life through photographic technology.
Every image has a story behind it and to every individual that story is different.
Iwan has a gentle spirit that leads him to capture images the way he saw them and not necessarily as they are.
They mirror who he is....even who we are as a people.
Photography is the prefect medium for Iwan. It entitles him to capture the reality of what he is experiencing.
He allows himself to be provoked by his surroundings and through this his poetic photographs are developed.
Going over his work, I realize its never rushed...he takes the time to connect with his subject matter.
This in turn entices viewers to read the poetry he paints with a writer's brush though a photographic vehicle.
Iwan explained in a recent interview, "Photography should

...language of the heart...

Journal Entry: Sun May 6, 2012, 8:53 AM

Art is the language of the heart, the
expression of the soul and my gift to the
receptive.

Creativity is born from the eye of beauty and
presented as gratitude, wonder and
inspiration. I am but an apprentice and know
that I shall never be the master – art is
infinite, flowing into me, through me and
eternally onward.

Should my art inspire you to hold your
breath a second longer, or should you sigh or
simply say Ah, then I am both humbled and
inspired.

~ Sonya Green
