For the water to lay still

I want the hours to stop

For the water to lay still

Like the characters in the books when I close the pages

They living trapped among words, until we again read

I want life to stop slipping away

For tea not get lukewarm

And to see your smile without a frown

without a care

I want Time to stop, every day, at 2 p.m.

And to embrace you forever, under this bridge

Merry California Christmas

Merry California Christmas!
The sun is shinning, the grass is green...
You know the song 🎄

fotos de TVs en Autlán

Late night
sleep won't come
well, fine!
Looking at these old pictures I took
back in 2007, yes, México,
and yes, mi Autlán,
where I spent my childhood summers
my mom's hometown.
Can't to go back and photograph.
Not the TVs but the Mexican land...
Autlán, Autlán...

the moon and the animals

i took some pictures of the August full moon
with a side of black cloud...
the animals? i am still vegan
and i will forever be
i still go to bed thinking that somewhere
there is an animal suffering locked in a cage
waiting to be slaughtered, horrified, and in pain
while humans sleep nicely waiting for tomorrow's breakfast
my only regret about veganism, not have done it before
why was i blind to their pain?

a short tale, for a little-abandoned blog
better today, a bit, than none at all

August Full Moon, click to look closer

walking Presidio Park

last weekend I went for a quick walk
to one of my favorite places in San Diego
Presidio Park, a lovely jewel of this city
anytime I know Balboa Park is going to be too crowded
or whenever I want a peaceful walk, there is
Presidio Park in Old Town
is almost never busy... I only encounter
hikers, people working out, and yes!
photographers! also the occasional picnic
I was just going for a walk, but then I had
my old point-and-shot in my purse
therefore...

iPad: mini, fun: great

i finally got into the tablets world
i bought myself an iPad mini
wow, it's a lot of fun!
getting into the app world
i haven't tried blogging from it
that will be next but...
the camera has really nice quality
here a couple of pictures i took of
the usual suspects with it

with fancy red cover and stylus too!

Frau Kitty, a bit afraid of the 'big' camera

Herr Gato, suspicious of the latest gadget

new casa

i've been living in my new home for about 6 months

but somehow it still feels new

every day that goes by, i am thankful to life and my mom

for being able to live in such a lovely little place

i love art but these days i cannot afford buying a lot of it

so i find comfort on having 'original' art

the idea of having 'original' art started with a gift from my friends

m&m... they enlarged and framed this photo of Herr Gato

as my house warming gift

the picture looked nice but it was missing a companion! so i enlarged a photo of a tree i took in Germany while visiting Herr Thilo

here is a link to the original photograph,

der Geist Baum auf Bielefeld

i also try to keep only natural plants in my home

a lovely orchid and some older plants i brought from the older home

and then i have this lovely enlargement that Insky sent me a while ago

both the Insky and the Herr Gato are originals too

for my bedroom these photos i took a while ago from  Julian
