Jekyll & Hyde

Most people's faces are asymmetrical. It's hard to tell just how much--unless you have Photoshop. Here are two versions of my face, digitally rendered by making either half into a whole, symmetrical face.

It's strange; they both look like me, yet they are so different.

I think the one on the Left is Jekyll; he's the good boy, the pious one--but he's anxious and insecure. Then on the right you have Hyde. He might be the troublemaker, but at least he knows who he is and what he wants.

Still not quite sure which one is the good one, or if neither one is...

PhotoFriday: Distant

My apartment building can be seen in this photo, as well as the grassy field where Chloe and I often played ball. This was taken from a plane on the descent into Orlando, coming back from California earlier this month.

Dogs & National Parks

Here are some images from my late Christmas trip to see the family in California. I visited Yosemite, and hung out with my parents and their awesome German Shepherds, Merry and Pippin.

Be Blessed in the New Year!

Remembering Chloe

My deer sweet companion, Chloe, passed away on Wednesday of this week. She was eleven and a half years old. If you have ever let an animal into your heart, you will understand my deep grief at this loss. If you haven't, even in this time of mourning I can tell you it is more than worth it.

Chloe was love wearing fur, and never failed to bring me joy. Now she romps on legs that never tire, in the place where love is born.

You will be missed, baby.

The Carnival is Back in Town

Or it was. It's already gone. Here's a look, though.
