The ViolinI heard the coyotes again last night.

It was a brief trill out of the darkness, somewhere on the far edge of the cherry trees. I lay in bed, listening to the silence that followed, halfway expecting to hear the sudden cadence of paws running through the crust of snow.

They always come from the west in the velvet hush of darkness, beckoning me from the deepest of sleep.

I wavered there on the cusp of slumber, with a vague sensation that the room was spinning. Blue moonlight webbed between the bare tree limbs outside the window, and captured me in it's snare.

Suspended between awake and sleep, I was transported with the simple sway of branc

CoppertoneThere I was, a gangly legged teen who had all sorts of notions on what real beauty was. Sprawled on the vinyl folding chairs out on the lawn, I would stretch my pale legs out like white sprouts on a potato, slathering them with Coppertone.

I wanted so badly to be tan. California-Coppertone-Beach-Bunny-Brown. The kind of tan where you could slip a watch off your wrist and see it's outline in contrast. All the popular girls at school could do that. I would see them at lunch, comparing 'white lines'. My whole body was a white line, thanks to the endless parade of very pale ancestors who looked on from old pictures with somber, chalky expression

Little jewels, in unexpected places....

Artist's Notes: I actually dreamed this image a few nights ago, and scribbled it down in my journal. It wasn't a 'hand' door knocker that I dreamed, but it was ornate and beautiful. When I found the hand though... well, I fell in love with it.

Amazing use of colour, the dragons around the edge of the knocker make a lovely addition, & the dragonfly finishes it off beautifully ^_^ I love dragonflies

This is spectacular. I've seen a door-knocker just like this in real life... in Spain. I wanted it so bad!
