New Music today...

As much as I love Loreena, I was needing something a little less sad! So here is one of my absolute favoritest songs. "The Adventure" from Angels and Airwaves. Wish I could afford licensing rights... I'd have it on my website.

I had the same last dream again
The one where I wake up and I'm alive
Just as the four walls close me within
My eyes are open up with pure sunlight
I'm the first to know
My dearest friends
Even if your hope has burned with time
Anything that is dead shall be re-grown
And your vicious pain, your warning sign
You will be fine

Hey oh here I am
And here we go
Life’s waiting to begin

Any type of love it will be shown
Like every single tree reach for the sky
if you're gonna fall
i'll let you know
that i will pick you up
like you for i
i felt this thing
i can't replace
when everyone was working for this goal
where all the children left without a trace
only to come back as pure as gold
to recite this all

Hey oh here I am
And here we go
Life’s waiting to begin
Tonight
Hey oh here I am


And here we go
Life’s waiting to begin
Tonight
Hey oh here I am
And here we go
Life’s waiting to begin

I can not live
I can’t breathe
Unless you do this with me
I can not live
I can’t breathe
Unless you do this with me
I can not live
I can’t breathe
Unless you do this with me
I can not live
I can’t breathe
Unless you do this with me
I can not live
I can’t breathe
Unless you do this with me
I can not live
I can’t breathe
Unless you do this with me

Hey oh, here I am (do this with me)
Here we go
life's waiting to begin (do this with me)
Hey oh, here I am (do this with me)
Here we go
life's waiting to begin
life's waiting to begin

The Lucy Virginia

The Lucy Virginia, originally uploaded by willowdawn.

My latest photography project was a little out of the ordinary for me. My mother-in-law needs to sell her motoryacht and so we went down to help photograph it and I've created a website to facilitate the sale. All this could be yours!

Uncle Paul

He wasn't thrilled with the thought of having his picture taken, but I think I might have convinced him that the camera loves him.

Capturing life as it happens...

, originally uploaded by willowdawn.

My Father-in-law recently passed away and as I was looking for photos for his funeral I was struck at how few we had as he was usually taking the pictures of the grandbabies. I've decided to not let that happen again, so no matter how small the occasion, photos will be taken. I wasn't interested in the technically perfect photos for Cary's memorial, I wanted to remember the times we had shared. So, yesterday we went to my Mother-in-Laws house to see long time family friends. We had a wonderful afternoon of good food and good company... and this was life happening.

The Supervisor

, originally uploaded by willowdawn.

This morning we went to the City Dock in downtown. There were many men fishing off of the dock and Boozilla became the supervisor. She would sit and talk with the men, then walk the dock inspecting their buckets of fish. I think (hope) she was the bright spot in many of their days.

Penelope's Song

Thank you to Jennifer for the imeem recommendation! Even I figured out that one :o). Hope you all enjoy Loreena's newest song. This was her encore presentation on Tuesday night and it is from her new album, "An Ancient Muse".

Music and lyric: Loreena McKennitt

Now that the time has come
Soon gone is the day
There upon some distant shore
You'll hear me say

Long as the day in the summer time
Deep as the wine dark sea
I'll keep your heart with mine.
Till you come to me.

There like a bird I'd fly
High through the air
Reaching for the sun's full rays
Only to find you there

And in the night when our dreams are still
Or when the wind calls free
I'll keep your heart with mine
Till you come to me

Now that the time has come
Soon gone is the day
There upon some distant shore
You'll hear me say

Long as the day in the summer time
Deep as the wine dark sea
I'll keep your heart with mine.
Till you come to me
