The Kreativ Blogger Award
Nominated for this Award by
bows (~_~) humble
thank you
For this award, I have to share 10 things that you may not know. Then I have to pass the award on to at least six (or more) other bloggers.
1) I live in heaven, well…Texas, (pretty close), where the weather is hell
2) I live on a river where I use to be a Hunting guide. I am a crack shot but now I enjoy doing my shoots with a camera.
3) Fishing, well, I do a lot of this and enjoy it. The fishing season is about to go into full swing and I hope it doesn’t effect my blogging (grin).
4) I have earned a 3 rd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, I got my degree from Marshall Tae Kwon Do and went on to have my own Martial Arts studio, Inner spirit Martial Arts ; Jefferson, Texas 2000 – 2003! I left the studio to my son and came back home, here.
5) I am now a Correctional Officer, I work with-in prison walls and it can be very challenging. How-ever I love my job.
6) With this blog and the telling of zen stories seems to have a lot of people believing I am Buddhist. I enjoy zen stories and poetry and all that they project but I was raised Baptist.
7) I have three grand babies. One of the most warming sensations in the world is to have a little one come running toward you calling, “Gran pa.” Makes me feel grand! I however am not that old.
8) How old? (I thought I heard that thought cross your mind) …52 and fit as a fiddle. (how fit is a fiddle?) I think your only as old as you feel and I tend to amaze people at what I can do for my age, funny thing is I don’t feel old. Vitality is the key. A body in motion, stays in motion.
9) I am married, to a wonderful woman, LuLu (louAnne) a country girl who is witty and has the ability to keep me on my toes. Along with my lil sunshine, Emma, my step-daughter who is eight going on eighteen.
10) I was born in Japan. I live in east Texas, so my wife calls me a japanese-redneck… (that makes me a rare breed). I am American, my father was in the service when I was born.
and now, to nominate six others for this award…Since it is a Kreativ Award, I can think of several off hand.
1) Tim Coffey … Caffeine for the Creative Soul, I think all that read Tim’s blog will agree, Tim has a creative way of bringing art to life from so many different angles with his daily posts.
2) Fergiemotto … Creativity Aroused not only have I learned the art of etegami from this blog but I am inspired by the nature pics and witty words placed with them.
3) Lorrelee … Articles of Absurdity I was impressed with her Christmas blog tree (check it out).
4) Pocket Perspectives blog… Reflections from a friend if there is any one that is creative, Kathy is, she makes these wonderful post with computer generated art and does YouTube videos as well. The blog is filled with wisdom which lures me to every post.
5) Cat Forsley… CatForsley.Me I can’t begin to tell you how amazed I am with Cat’s creative ability. Singer/song writer/poet/writer and I just now (making this post) discovered Cat’s celebrity status from YouTube. Bows (~_~) humble
6) The Outside Lane a creator of jewelry that fascinates me. Charities for hungry children and more. I am surprised that more haven’t found this blog but this will be a great time to do some finger pointing in her direction for someone who does so much for others and has that creative flare.
I could point a finger in so many directions when it comes to creativity, but I have chosen these six to carry on with ..
the Kreativ Blogger Award.

Happy Holidays
have a creative day
perspective
Less is more, unless you’re standing next to the one with more,
then less just looks pathetic

If you are like me and love to read words of wisdom, Zen, enlightenment, inspirational quotes and touching words… then you will love these sites…
Reflections from a friend
Check this out…Yesterday, Pocket Perspectives, (her blog is also filled with wonderful words of inspiration placed on crafty computer art) asked; if she could use the picture of the Fawn and dog I had posted on the poem; “The Fawn.” She took the picture and created a wonderful post called;
“May we Nurture that Gentle Fawn that we see in each other.”
I am all for sharing and helping one another in this world, what a wonderful world it would be if we all thought like this. But then again, that is my perspective. Check out these sites and become inspired and perhaps a little wiser from reading wisdom writes/ quotes embedded in computer art. Since todays post is about perspectives, I thought this would be a great way to point a finger to two wonderful sites on… “Perspectives.”

A Perspective Story –
There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to, learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away.
The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.
When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.
The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise .
The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season in the tree’s life.
He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season. That the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and the love that come from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(moral; Don’t judge life, or a life by one difficult season. Persevere through the difficult patches and better times are sure to come. We all see the world differently and from different perspectives.)

I was hunting for some pictures for my other blog;
…and found these and I was intrigued. The way we view life is different for each of us and I look at it like; we are all flowers in a field and each of us a different color, shape, size and we all see the field from a different perspective. Then again some have to be the grass and weeds (perhaps they are the ones with-out beauty in their lives). I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I did.
