Milestone: 1500th Posting on Bluestar2012!

On September 17, 2011 By Fred KingIn Thoughts, Uncategorized, water droplets, Water fountainLeave a comment

This is my 1,500th posting on this blog. In Feb. 2008 I had no idea where I was going with this blog or if I had the discipline to keep it going for this length of time. So, befitting this moment I thought I would post a ‘self-portrait’ of myself ( in shadow form to maintain some sense of anonymity ) as well as a rainbow, which is symbolic of hope, possibility and perhaps a touch of magic.

Thanks to all of you who have supported this blog by checking in from time to time to see what is going on here. I had less than modest goals when I started posting and I’m really gratified by the response over these 1,500 postings. I’ve purposely let the images I post speak for themselves, with little or no narrative from me. Photography is a personal experience between the image and viewer. I see no point in interjecting my ‘experience’ between you and the image.

Dream large.

Title hint: the name of a movie. Use the images for help, if needed.

Graceful

This flower reminds me a flamenco dancer,

arms gesticulating and spine twisting

to the music I hear.

This house is nearly buried by all of the vegetation. I am always curious about the people living in houses with yards like this.

What remains of the Green Lake Aqua Theatre. Over 40 years ago I heard both The Grateful Dead and Led Zeppelin at this venue.

End

Triangular building and a sofa proclaiming “End”. Perhaps, expecting the world to end on May 21st, someone placed their sofa outside to watch the ‘End”. I think they should have checked their Mayan calendar as the “end” does not occur till Dec. 21st, 2012. I don’t think the sofa will last that long; it’s ‘end’ may come sooner.
