ye dog wrangler ....

"... get along little doggie; its your misfortune and none of my own ..."

buddha wall too ...

another photoshop layered way of looking at the same wall in Santa Monica.

bumpin' buddha wall ...

I took this photo last sat. on 2nd St. in Santa Monica, then added "a little" photoshopping.
I like the intensity of the multiple Buddhas. Originally only one row.

another jellyfish...

another great jelly day ....

40 years conjoined ....

Kathy and I are celebrating 40 years of marriage today.
Glad we made it;who'da thunk?

spiky pod thing

this spiky pod-like thing is pretty cool.
when its green the spikes are soft and flexi.
when its not; its not.

pro-found jellyfish ....

how profound is the jellyfish?
they don't appear all that tidy,
in fact, they seem to be huge slobs.
admittingly, I don't know any personally.

dog herding dog chasing frisbee ...

the Ro-ri brothers, two of a kind.
Riley is the champion frisbee guy.
Rowan herds Riley and tries to prevent the "catch",
with very little success, but a lot of distraction.....
Here they both get a lot of exercise, 
I think it is the funnest time Rowan has ever had.

helsinki baby cookies ...

tasty Finnish baby cookies ....
almost too cruel to disturb them
just while you bite into their cute little head.
but ... these babies were made for munching
red or blue for you?

Fish play ...

fun time, play with the fishy in photoshop.
this is a montage from photos I took at the
Steinhart Aquarium in S.F.  in spring '10

through the trees ...

the love-shack studio
looking up through the trees
at the sunset clouds above
ocean mists fill the air...
I can really breathe.

cloud puff ...

even the smallest puff of a cloud
has its dynamic place
in the scheme of things

pictures in the clouds...

oh look... I see a fish in that one...

another cloud view...

bright shiney water,

cloud nine+

gotta love those beachy cloudsmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
can almost taste them.
puffy and sharp
makes just enough shade to put a little "cool" in the breeze.
there's always more where that came from.

the toys are alright...

backstage at the toy museum exhibit.
handmade toys from around the world.
standing in ready-ment.
great show.

desert gardens .........

those desert gardens seem to have a mind of their own,

nice bloomers

...............................

Contemplation: living this particular day to its fullest

(still sending warm, kindly messages ahead)

Enjoy this moment

Breath the air, exhale the air

take in the best of wishes sent today.

spread the kindness

kindle kindness everywhere

perform random acts of loving-kindness

watch it set ablaze ....................

loving-kindness flooding everywhere

JELLYFISH CHIMES
part of a series...
more photos to follow

when whales dream ...

when I dream, I really go off ... somewhere.
many places... often several major locations around the world in one night.


I'm always hard at work, the big events are coming.... lots of preparation to do.


I've not traveled underwater, ... yet.
makes me wonder if whales dream of traveling on land.
hmmmm ...

we're all made of the same stuff

We're all made of the same stuff...
Molecularly speaking... atoms are all intertwining at amazing speed.
E•N•E•R•G•Y
I think I can feel it now.... spinning like crazy.
Don't stop now,
Let it go the full distance; and let's see where it takes us.

oily paradise

ahh the pretty rainbow refractions in the oily waves lapping onshore.
** soon to be at a perfect beach near you.
All this at no extra cost to you, courtesy of the oil empires.

Whirled Cup Soccerball

Whirled Cup Soccer Balls.

Love those designer balls,

Gaming is intense down to the Semi-finals.

Best party ever on "July Forth"

prepping the 4th

making some stars

making some stripes

on paper flags.

celebrations are ahead.

The ANSWER: Robotic Whales

Yes, and they are impervious to disaster; both natural and manmade.

whale yin ... whale yang

whale yin .... whale yang

I'm not sure if this painting is upside-down or not.   I was inspired by a tile mosaic I saw from Pompai. Whales seemed to make sense in the yin-yang theme, so I played with the theme.

nature heals nature

nature heals nature

because it can

and there's nothing more important going on ...

a white reindeer in the "endless days" of Arctic Summer

poro= reindeer  (in Finnish)


cooler thoughts for a hot summer

whaling error ...

time for a few small repairs ...
... meanwhile life is good on the surface
staying present and buoyant.

oil whales on target

It's just not a good time to be a water-mammal in the gulf-or soon enough ANY body of water,
... but don't worry, just as soon as all the feeble attempts at controlling the flow fail- then we'll get serious about halting this "problem".

J. L. Navarro: Oil raining down on River Ridge, LA...

Nordic crows in the oilslick rain...

The land adjacent to the Gulf is experiencing "oil-rain"
Just another step closer for BP's attempt to annihilate the Southern Civilization.
How long until that "oil-cloud" reaches Europe and beyond.......?                          
As Navarro's Blog put it- we've done a far worse disaster to ourselves than any terrorist organization could have done....and we're still chasing shadows in the Middle East cuz' why????

honu asea

water has memory
of all thoughts that occur nearby
let's send healing thoughts to the "troubled waters"
