Ode to the Wild Things

2007-05-21T13:51:00.000-07:00

This is a tribute to the beauty of the wild things in my life...

2007-05-07T17:25:00.000-07:00

Most of her days are spent alone
In her room
Watching her fantasy world on television
Her only friends are the characters she loves
Unable to participate in the simplest of activities
She watches from the window
God made her this way
Never to know love between a woman and a man
Never to be kissed
Never to bear children
Never to have a best friend
She still has the desire
She still has the feelings
She still dreams of those things
And she sits in her room alone and watches out the window

I love her with all of my heart
I hope it is enough

and here's Dorrie

I had a shot of Nemo but he was fast and hiding behind coral, the shot was just too fuzzy to use.

Isn't she grand

2006-11-26T21:03:00.000-08:00

I don't know what she is called but we fell in love with her.

the anenomes were very cool, too

The jellies were probably my favorite but they were also the hardest to photograph, other than the sharks which were impossible to get pictures of.
The room was dark and the tanks were dark but it was so beautiful watching their slow rhythm. I could have stayed in there for hours (if it weren't for all the other people).

Seth took this picture at the edge of the lake he was trying to shoot some tadpoles in the water. When I downloaded it I asked him "what is that in the corner of this picture??"

Can you see it?

I couldn't really tell until I zoomed in on it.

a little blue dragonfly, caught in mid-flight.

A little fuzzy but what a shot.

Boggy Depot C.N.

2006-10-16T11:55:00.000-07:00

Before statehood Boggy Depot was the capitol of the Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory.
Evidently there was a thriving little community there with the post office depot, a church, school, a small military base. The Butterfield stage mail route came through and stopped there.

The chief of the Choctaw Nation, Allen Wright's home was here. I did see a drawing of his home, two story, white clapboard, wrap around porch - very nice. But,none of the original buildings were saved, not even any ruins, just signs telling you what once was there.

I stood facing the road that runs through what used to be a little town and wondered what it was like a 100 years ago in a bustling little community. Who lived there? What were they like? How did they live?

The only evidence that anyone, anything was ever there was the cemetery. If you want to feel the history of a place that is where you should go.

Miss Clara Eddy
Born in New York
Died in Boggy Depot C.N.
A resident of Indian Territory

There were no dates of birth or death (that I could read). Makes you wonder about Miss Clara, doesn't it? She came from New York to Boggy Depot. Was she a young woman or an older woman. Was she a professional woman? Either she or her family must have had money because hers was one of the biggest markers in the cemetery and it was not homemade.
The people who loved her must have thought that she would want people to remember her as a brave pioneer... a single woman moving from New York to Indian Territory in the late 1800's or early 1900's.. sounds pretty brave to me.

And others whose stories we will never know. Hopefully, their families pass on their stories so that someone will remember them and what they did, their part in forming our history.
