This blog is my outlet to tell tales about any damn thing I want. Simplicity is my style. If you think long intellectual words are boring and pretentious, then you will love my blog. You might think my writing is crap, but I guarantee it is authentically me.~JarieLyn~http://www.blogger.com/profile/02519086938256175022noreply@blogger.comBlogger368125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931225770516591568.post-73235173204177962812015-07-10T10:20:00.000-07:002015-07-10T10:20:30.227-07:00FMTSO-WaterIt's been a long while since I've posted anything in this space. I'm still very much active with my photography and in my camera club, but quite honestly, I've been more focused on my <a href="http://jarielynsmailbag.blogspot.com/">mail blog</a>. Today I decied to join in on the <a href="http://mytownshootout.blogspot.com/2015/07/water-friday-my-town-shoot-out-link-up.html">Friday My Town Shoot Out</a> because I have always loved participating in the different themes. And, because I have time for once. And because I kinda miss it. Today's theme is all about water. None of these were taken where I live, however, I take a lot of road trips and I think it's appropriate to showcase here, especially, since one of the photos come from the town I grew up in.<br />

The above photo was taken in Oceanside, California. The photo isn't very sharp but in my defense it was a very windy day and I took this from quite a distance away while standing on the pier. This was taken in April while on a field trip with my camera club. Two other ladies and myself drove to Oceanside on our own in an attempt to catch the sunset. While waiting for the sun to go down, I captured these boys on their surfboards.</div>

The above photo is the Kern River which flows through my hometown that I grew up in. This particular area is actually in the town of Kernville about an hour drive from where I used to live. This guy in the kayak is practicing maneuvers for his job as a river guide. The Kern River is very popular for white water rafting. When I was in highschool I lived for summers. They were the best because a bunch of us kids would float down the river with tubes tied together. It was so much fun. I really miss the river a lot. The closest river to Las Vegas is Laughlin. Sometimes I will take a drive there but it's just not the same.</div>

The photo above was taken this past weekend in Yosemite National Park in an area called Tuolumne Meadows. I love lakes and rivers more than the ocean. Granted, this photo was taken at the wrong time of day and it was a bit hazy out but I love this photo nonetheless. It's so serene.</div>

This photo was taken in an area called Hetch Hetchy in Yosemite National Park. It's about a two hour drive from Tuolumne Meadows. These boats belong to the park ranger. We drove to Hetch Hetchy Valley to see the dam that was built in 1923. We walked across the dam and through a tunnel to the other side. It was great exercise but it was really hot out. I was sweating profusely.</div>

I took this from the bridge of the dam. I had to squeeze my camera lens through the railing to get this shot. I'm not sure it's a waterfall in the normal sense, but water was coming out of these rocks hard, fast, and loud. I love the sound it made. Almost like big waves at the ocean, except it was at a river.</div>

Coming back from Hetch Hetchy this is past Tuolumne Meadows and closer to the entrance of the park. I could sit here all day and just listen to the water flow over the rocks. It's a good way to quiet the mind and to mediate. Shortly after leaving this spot it began pouring rain. We were headed to a campground to have dinner with fello photographers, about 18 people total. But when we pulled into the camp, I didn't have an umbrella or a warm jacket and I personally did not want my hot dog bun to get soggy. So I was the snob of the group and I went and got food somewhere else. My husband and I came back with a bottle of wine and some beer once the rain stopped, about 15 minutes later. </div>

How does it start? </b>Share with us the morning light or your drive to work, or other chores you have in the morning. Maybe it's even a trip you start early in the day. Or it can be another type of start, that doesn't necessarily begin in the morning. Show us your city at the start of the day.

<span style="font-size: 100%;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 100%;">Well, I can tell you that I'm not much of a morning person these days. I wake up anywhere from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. I'd much rather be an early bird, but the body wants what the body wants and that's usually a lot of sleep. Oh, and I don't get out much as I am always doing stuff inside the house. So here's how my days usually begin.</span><br />

As soon as I wake up, and before I even get out of bed, I will set the timer on my phone for about 12-15 minutes and I will just write whatever pops into my head. I do not worry about punctuation or grammar. I just write until the buzzer goes off. Sometimes, I will write about a dream if it is still fresh in my mind, other times I will write about all of my desires such as new adventures, business ideas, things I want to manifest, etc. This morning writing is to just put the vibration out into the universe.</div>

This morning I did a reading for all who read this blog post.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first card represents a current issue or circumstance such as emotional or psychological toxicity. Archangel Uriel appears in this spread because he is here to help remove any anger, heartbreak, or negative thoughts from your psyche. He is with you now to help you with any emotional blocks that may be holding you in a state of lower vibration. All you need to do is ask for his help.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The second card represents an action to take. In this case the card Maya appears in the spread. My interpretation of the message is to always keep evolving. Learn something new and continue to grow. Do not become stagnant in mind, body and spirit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The third card represents an end result if you follow the action that is recommended. In this spread, the card Shanti appears. This card is all about peace and tranquility.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Summary: Call upon the angels to intervene with help and guidance. Always be growing. When the student is ready to learn, the teacher will appear. It doesn't matter whether you continue with formal education, read books at home, listen to audio, research web-sites, talk to mentors or whatever other means you come across. The point is to always learn something new. It will reap you great benefits and lead you to your life's purpose. If you allow yourself the opportunity to grow, the ultimate reward will be peace of mind, tranquility, and smooth roads ahead.</div>

Time for Dr. Laura. Sometimes I will listen to Oprah Radio while driving. It depends upon my mood. If I listen to music, I usually listen to first wave or prime country as my top choices. But sometimes I'll listen to altnation. I'm a flipper of the stations so it really depends on what song is playing or what topic is being discussed.</div>

This is Karen, the owner of the store. She is the most amazing person. Her soul is so genuine and she is the kind of person that you want to be around. She always welcomes me with a hug and kind words. Her store is amazing too. There is always some kind of class or event going on and I have taken several classes there. Whenever I need a pick-me-up, the Spirit Within is where I go.</div>

My favorite shop for inexpensive and cute clothes. I tried on several items of clothing yesterday and all I can say is that I am very frustrated with myself. I'm kind of at that in between stage of weight where nothing looks good. Ugh! I bought one blouse because I need to add some color to my wardrobe. I have way too many blacks, greys, beiges. So, I bought a pale green blouse.</div>

In the evening, I attended a birthday party for one of my friends in my camera club. She takes phenomenal photos of wildlife with her focus on Africa. You can see her amazing work <a href="http://www.fortheloveofafrica.com/">here</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't take any photos of the party but there was quite a crowd of varying ages all they way from toddlers, teenagers, twenty some-things, and on up to the 70's. She had an Italian dinner catered and there was a slew of alcoholic beverages, sodas and water to drink. I, of course had a couple of glasses of white zinfandel. It was a good night.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm sure this post wasn't very exciting, the photos aren't great quality, BUT you did get to see a day in the life of me.

I'd like to take you on a tour through Red Rock Canyon located in Las Vegas, Nevada. Most people who have never been to Las Vegas have a preconceived notion about the city. After all, we are considered the city of Sin, what with all the gambling, drinking, strip clubs and 24 hour non-stop partying going on. It must be quite hard to imagine quiet neighborhoods, serene mountains and beautiful canyons with a variety of wildlife. Let my pictures be proof that there is another side to my town.<br />

Most people who come out to Red Rock Canyon are local hikers, rock climbers and photographers. There are some tourists who come and are awestruck by the view. There are big rocks to climb on and if you squint, you might be able to see the city in the distance.</div>

There are also wildflowers that sprout up in the desert spaces at Red Rock Canyon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course, it's always windy when I try to take a photo of the flowers.</div>

There are cave-like spaces where some birds dwell. I believe I've heard the vocalization of quail around these parts but I am not 100 percent positive on the type of bird noise I've heard.</div>

There are spaces in the rocks where critters can hide, such as this lizard who is trying to blend in and not be noticed. this little guy was very hard to capture because he was moving all over the place.</div>

This is the tree in my front yard which I took with my phone just five minutes ago, at 5:00 p.m.</div>

The rest of the neighborhood pretty much looks the same. My grass still has some green in it but it's pretty dry. Although the temperatures haven't dipped too low, it is still a bit chilly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's cold enough at night that I want to make hot chocolate.</div>

I cheated though because I didn't actually go out this week and take photos. These come from my archives and were taken last September while I was on vacation, so they are not actually from my town but they are still my photos in different towns.<br />

Sweets!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is the theme for the Friday My Town Shoot Out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been eating a lot of sweets lately.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I should have been photographing them instead of eating them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did manage to photograph some cookies that I bought at the store yesterday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are the most delicious sugar cookies I've ever tasted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are so lemony good.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's one from the archives.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is when I first bought my SLR camera, before I even joined my camera club.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think I've posted it before but since it's really sweet, I thought it deserved another post.</div>

Well I could have really taken advantage of this week's theme as many sweets as I eat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>

Well, by the time anyone reads this post it will be Monday all ready.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm linking up with the <a href="http://mytownshootout.blogspot.com/">Friday My Town Shoot Out</a>, a couple of days late but I still wanted to participate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a busy week-end for me so I only have two shots for this week's theme which is the letter your town begins with and in my case it would be the letter L for Las Vegas. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday, I was out and about at a huge craft festival and that's where I photographed two items that begin with the letter L.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Both photos were taken with my phone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are luggage tags.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They look large in the photo, however, they are the average luggage tag size.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's it for show, but I really had a great time at the craft fair.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also got a psychic reading while there and it was fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It's raining here in Las Vegas today and I am actually enjoying it.</div>

Today's theme for the Friday My Town Shoot Out is White on White.</div>

I guess I got a little distracted last week and forgot to publish my post on Friday until earlier today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
:)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been getting a lot of postcards from postcrossing and swap-bot but I haven't received any letters </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from any of the persons I wrote to for LetterMo except the ones I've already showed you, which really was about a 15th of what I sent out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do I sound ungrateful for saying I'm a bit disappointed? I hope not. I'm just mentioning it because I'm wondering if you all had the same experience or did all or most of your letters get reciprocated? I'm just curious.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I enjoyed writing the letters nonetheless and it was a fun challenge.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"> Let's make
this a special week! </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"></span></span><img alt="" border="0" closure_uid_653613522="2" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359472711135692834" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq-_rSZ_yya6siN97aByRlEz0RaKzEqWPjfaGvp0TOCvcRCUjv6Z9tzfOxDG2PR4I2QAa0H_e3FQv5KdrFLqXaxZdK8Rd7CA9xNV5BYTojtA2nrCeSBF6K9qBe79Y9dMsEhWxHB3mCiWs/s320/Yard+Objects+001.JPG" style="display: block; height: 240px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" />This is the very first photo I ever posted in FMTSO.<br />
It was July 17, 2009 and the theme was Yard Objects.<br />
I have posted a lot of photos of my beloved Sasha in the Friday My Town Shoot-Out.<br />
I remember I was very nervous to post anything at all because I wasn't real familiar with the blogging community and I was afraid that my pictures would be seen as boring and amateurish.<br />
(they were very amateurish)<br />
It's amazing to me when I look back on all my posts for the FMTSO, how much my photography has evolved since then.<br />
Honestly, If it weren't for the FMTSO gang I probably would not have had the desire to join the Nevada Camera Club which I solely did for the purpose of getting better for the FMTSO themes.<br />
<br />
Just as Ginger mentioned the passing of Barry, it also is very significant for me as well.<br />
I gained so much inspiration and compassion by reading every single word that Barry wrote.<br />
He was such a talented writer and so brave and positive.<br />
I felt such genuine love for this man that I never met before and I was heartbroken when he left this earth. I remember we did a special post about Barry and this is what I posted.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="border: currentColor; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Barry's death really impacted me a lot harder than I anticipated
and my reaction took me by surprise. Here is my tribute to Barry. These are
just a few of the things that Barry has inspired me to think about or rather
when I think about Barry these are the words that come to my mind.</div>
<div class="separator" style="border: currentColor; clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBdo5y82FAAmT4KV5S189Sj1QMK1WrhdhnX67F5f71WciDIpHCw9wOhCcnJzlvPkVxYwtZyOO5s-VxrugqfLCt9DImHozatV07YiFLro4O4XGOPikXe4tRWWW0rDc6BPglHiYzLWNyUMI/s1600/TributeToBarry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" bx="true" closure_uid_804157526="16" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBdo5y82FAAmT4KV5S189Sj1QMK1WrhdhnX67F5f71WciDIpHCw9wOhCcnJzlvPkVxYwtZyOO5s-VxrugqfLCt9DImHozatV07YiFLro4O4XGOPikXe4tRWWW0rDc6BPglHiYzLWNyUMI/s400/TributeToBarry.jpg" width="306" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="border: currentColor; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Also, when I think of Barry I can't help but think about my
sister and what she's going through.<br />
<br />
Today, Feb. 28, 2013 I went back and read the last few posts on Barry's blog and I cried.<br />
See my photo above with all the words about Barry-well, I just erased that board about two weeks ago. That's how long I kept the tribute to Barry hanging on my wall.<br />
I'm not sure why I felt such a connection to him, but I did and I admired him in many ways.<br />
RIP Barry!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="border: currentColor; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I also really appreciate two comments that Pauline and Rebecca made on this <a href="http://jarielyn.blogspot.com/2010/01/introspection.html">post</a>.<br />
<br />
Also, at one point Ginger and I decided to collaborate a writing project on another blog.<br />
It was off to a good start but vacations, first her then I, and the death of her husband and my health issues stalled that project but I am very proud of what little we accomplished and I got to know Ginger on a more intimate level. It was challenging and fun. You can read our stuff <a href="http://www.dancewithwords.wordpress.com/">here</a>. <br />
<br />
I feel connections with several people in the FMTSO.<br />
I'm not sure they feel the same about me but there are a few that I think I would get along well with in person and would love to meet someday.<br />
With that being said, I did get the opportunity to meet a blogger from the FMTSO gang back in 2011.<br />
Doreen came to Las Vegas and I played tour guide.<br />
I for one, had a great time while she was here and it was awesome to meet someone from the blogging community.<br />
I have pictures and a whole post about the visit which you can read <a href="http://jarielyn.blogspot.com/2011/04/my-first-meeting-with-fellow-blogger.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I'm not really sure I have a favorite post but I can say this:<br />
All the people in this group are so talented, nice, inspiring, creative and real.<br />
I am so happy that I found all of you because during the times I am feeling low, it is you who always motivates me to a higher elevation.<br />
<br />
Thank you, FMTSO gang!<br />
I love you all very much and I thank you for still being here.<br />

<a href="http://lettermo.com/2012/01/web-badges/lettermo2013square/" rel="attachment wp-att-317"><img alt="LetterMo2013square" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-317" height="400" src="http://lettermo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/LetterMo2013square-300x300.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<br />
Like so many other mail enthusiasts, I finally joined the bandwagon and signed
up for <a href="http://www.lettermo.com/"><span style="color: #955331;">A Month Of Letters.</span></a> The idea is
to write and mail one letter a day, whether it be an actual letter, a postcard
or other written note. February is a short month and the month of letters is
even shorter because there are only 23 postal days in a month.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My goal is to
double or triple that amount. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here's my
proposition:</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you leave me
your contact information on my <a href="http://www.postable.com/jarielynrobbins"><span style="color: #955331;">postable account</span></a> which is
completely safe, secure and private, </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will send you
either a postcard, a notecard or a letter.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There's no
obligation, but wouldn't it just make your day to see some happy mail in your
mailbox.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just sayin!</div>

I never have just one or two favorites of anything. I find it very difficult to narrow my choices down to a favorite when there are so many lovely, beautiful and fantastic things in every category imaginable, including colors. Whenever someone asks me what my favorite color is, I am unable to tell them that my favorite color is blue. I tell them my favorite color to wear is black and green but I also love blues and purples and pinks and browns and greys and whites. So imagine how difficult is was for me to choose my favorite photos of 2012. Some of these aren't really great photos but they are great moments, great memories, good feelings. So I hope you enjoy just a smidgen of my favorites for the Friday My Town Shoot Out.<br />

It has no significant meaning except that my friend Deyanira dragged me out of the house one day and we went shooting with our cameras. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like how it turned out. </div>

This photo isn't necessarily great, however, It was one of those moments where seeing these burros made my heart swell with joy and peace. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was shortly after Sasha passed away and I was really depressed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like to drive to Blue Diamond and park at the little Church whenever I need to get out and clear my head.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The wild burros like to hang out in the yard at the homes across the street from the church.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There were so many babies this day and seeing them play and romp around gave me the smile that I was missing.</div>

This is a self portrait, camera on tri-pod and I love this pic because of the clouds in the sky, the colorful cars all lined up in the background and because my arm actually looks somewhat toned....even though it's not.</div>

I put the photo of the cow up here because I had a real moment with this cow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sounds crazy I know.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were in Texas and I was driving and for some reason I just had to stop and get out and take a photo of the cows. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My truck is parked across the highway so I had to cross the street.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Normally, when I see cows, they run from me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They're sketchy and non trusting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But this one cow out of all the cows in this area took a chance.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She was curious and a little sketchy but she still kept walking closer and closer to me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I felt like my dog Sasha was with me in spirit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally this cow got to the fence and I walked closer and closer to the cow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then put my hand out so as not to scare her away and then........................</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
she licked me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was giggling like a kid.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was the most enjoyable experience I've ever had with a cow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can't even describe the feeling inside of me but it was soulful and spiritual.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again, sounds crazy but it's true.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will never forget this moment.</div>

Me in Mt. Charleston when it's snowing.</div>

I wasn't feeling well at all on this day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was April of 2012 and again, Deyanira talked me into going for a drive to photograph.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am so glad I went because we had no intention of driving to Mt. Charleston, nor did we know it was going to snow, but somehow the snow made me feel good. </div>

Taken June 2012 in Bakersfield, Ca.</div>

I like this photo because there aren't too many photos of me and Justin together unless I take them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And if I don't take them I usually look horrible and don't want to show anyone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But this one is somewhat decent even though we just drove 5 hours, then went to dinner with my parents, and my brother and his wife, and then came to this candy shop afterward. It's about 10:00 or 11:00 p.m.</div>
