HIGHLAND RAINBOW

Here's my new music video, featuring a rendition of 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow', I sang with Alan Thornhill playing guitar. The video was produced by Andy Lowe, the dafthermit from the wee, black bus in the Highlands of Scotland. You can check out his blog here, "Living A Simple Green Life" after you listen to the song.

Ummmm... You ARE gonna listen to it--right?

Wait till you see the part in the video where they have me hanging precariously from a hot air balloon, 800 feet above this amazing glen full of velvet tufts of lavender, cascading like waterfalls down the lush green hillsides--precisely at sunset. I don't know how I managed to lip sync on cue but I did!

Ummmmm...

I have a quick question.

Will my nose grow if I embellished the part about it being "Eighttttttttttttttttttttt HuNdReD feeeeeeeeeeeet in the air"?

Ummmm...

How about the part where I said "I don't know how I managed to lip sync on cue but I did!"?

I didn't really. I had to do a bunch of re-takes. It was very stressful syncing my lips in 100 MPH gusts of wind.

Awwww... never mind. Forget I even mentioned it.

Just enjoy~ Then head on over to the wee, black bus. Andy and Mel will show you around.

Bloomers

A new piece I'm working on, "In Full Bloom".
I dedicate this post to all who are blooming.
Or have bloomers...
Or are wearing bloomers...
Or not.. [just sayin'...
]

"In everyone's life, at some time,
our inner fire goes out.
It is then burst into flame
by an encounter with another human being.
We should all be thankful for those people
who rekindle our inner spirit."
~Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965)~


I'm grateful every day, in every way, for all
that I'm blessed with.
I have a loving family,
Superman as a body guard & protector,
and amazing friends like each of you
who inspire me to keep
pushing through PTSD
and to run the race of life with joy.


We have some new kids on the block.
Opie's Rainbow Ant Farm.
The sand is layered in bright colors
so we can watch them mix it up
like paint on a palette
as they tunnel to China.
You can see Barney's [the beta] cool house
in the shot above this one.
He's always ready t0 lend a helping paw
and some creative brain waves
even when he's cat napping.

Some visual inspiration in my studio.

"Count your blessings not your troubles."

~Lille Diane~
[yes, you may quote me...]
