End of Term One!

Fri May 30, 2008, 4:18 AM

First term of school is officially over!

Gee wizz it has gone by quick!

Ok, new pics have been finished edited.

They are out door pics at the remains of my favourite gumtree that my dad cut down last week.

so these pics are to kinda commemorate and to express my sadness at the destruction of when a tree is cut down.

Although i have to say my dad had good reason to cut it down because it was beginning to become a danger of falling down it was so old. And big. It was a huge tree and i spent many years of my childhood climbing, and falling out of, it.

So coming home one day last week and seeing my favourite tree cut down...

I was devastated.

Any way so these pics are personal.

AND it was so god DAMN FREEZING when i took these pictures i had to wear a scarf otherwise i was going to lose limbs. And it was about to start raining.

So....new pics. Hurrah.

End of term one. Double hurrah.

I can draw manga. Triple HURRAH!!!!!!!!

The picture of you on what remains of the gum tree is half a head short of simply incredible. How do you set up your shots? On a timer, or is there someone behind the camera?

It's a very poetic photograph. It says, "My physical discomfort is unimportant. I mourn a greater loss." Not to wax pretentious, but the metaphor goes beyond just you. This nude is a symbol of the soul, and she stands sadly among the bones of the natural world we are killing.

Great job. It was worth a little chill.

The exact same thing happened to me! My Dad cut down the sweetgum tree in his backyard that I used to climb when I was a child. It, too, was becoming a danger (and the top of the tree had actually died), but I am still sad that it is gone.

Yay for the end of term one, it was a good one grade wise I hope! Lightening hit my favorite mulberry tree when I was a kid. Man I missed sitting up there and eating mulberries, with a certain young lady named Michelle. But that's a whole other story
