    balmy sunrise in my garden

    The other day early morning I experienced certain calmness when i saw the rising sun foregrounded by my garden flora and the icon of Buddha.

    Repetitive HUMMING while watching movies and TV?

    Whenever I am watching TV or movies, anything except comedy, I continually hum, and have done so all my life. Sometimes I hum an actual tune, but in the vast majority of the time, I hum  just 2 or 3 random notes, which I will repeat for really long periods of time. Sometimes it is in unison with a main note in the background music, or a harmony,  but most times the notes have nothing to do with the music soundtrack. As you can imagine, it distracts and irritates other people to varying degrees. My solution, since I haven't been able to stop it, is just to watch alone. If you still don't understand what I am talking about, imagine sitting next to someone humming the cello notes to the theme from JAWS while you are trying to concentrate on an episode of The Gilmore Girls, or Dateline, or Law & Order.  I've done this my whole life, and it soothes me while at the same time it embarrasses me because I can't stop without starting up again a couple of minutes later, usually unbeknownst to me. I'm not actually looking for a cure for this. I just want to know if I am the only one, and does anybody know why I might do it, or where it comes from? Thanks for your time. Peace.♧

    Do you see the lizard?

    This is at Crescent Park in New Orleans. I spent the day trying to take pictures of the smaller creatures.

    A calm collage

    I worked more on collage previously posted. some bits on previous collage had fallfallen
    off . I peeled the layers back a bit and liked what I saw and built on that to create a sort of calm rational and sort of antique effect....It really is my last now! # #Calming
