I remember as ...Leaves make people do weird things. I remember as a kid my neighbor and I would run around trying to catch the most leaves as they fell. Then he went inside to take a bath and I stayed outside like an idiot running around keeping track of how many leaves I caught. Needless to say people walking by did not believe I was a competitive leaf catcher in the throws of battle, and thought I was just a nut. Looking back, perhaps they were right!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14309385609809902693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-47769873064745568512009-11-09T11:41:56.762+00:002009-11-09T11:41:56.762+00:00The music lends a nice touch.. almost like the int...The music lends a nice touch.. almost like the intro to a movie!

I might suggest that the authotrities encourage this view as it helps those in power to keep the masses in fear, and pass ever more draconian laws to restrict our freedoms without much in the way of dissent. But then that would just be showing my own paranoia...Kim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-20755904931968442982009-11-06T18:06:18.880+00:002009-11-06T18:06:18.880+00:00Its funny having moved across the pond I realise n...Its funny having moved across the pond I realise now how much restricted I was with a camera in hand. People in the USA seem to pretty much ignore or act with indifference but in the UK for some reason they'll give your strange looks as they pass you or just come right up and ask what you are up to. <br /><br />When Seville played Espanol in Glasgow for the UEFA cup I tried to take a picture of the Spanish fans celebrating in the city before the match but I was stopped by a policeman thinking he was doing is job. I can't think of any instance where anyone here has responded to my photograph taking in a negative manner.Scotsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09721900255963034112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-88464367276146821212009-11-06T17:57:39.878+00:002009-11-06T17:57:39.878+00:00I never knew the disappearance of leaves was so si...I never knew the disappearance of leaves was so sinister.

I sat on a swing in a park, eating an ice cream, listening to Pink Floyd and watching the leaves.<br /><br />Except here in New Zealand it's the middle of spring, and the leaves are all green and soft. And everything's all damp and surprised-looking, like it was in autumn, but without the wind and cold. But the spring leaves have that same vulnerable look as autumn leaves.<br /><br />That song of yours reminds me of Led Zeppelin.Caitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02326909035752457561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-31101324639349357862009-11-03T20:12:58.399+00:002009-11-03T20:12:58.399+00:00I envy you those leaves, you know?

Cemeteries (weird, huh?) are three.<br /><br />This video combined with music is incredibly soothing.<br /><br />Sooo, I've a great idea! What if you, Kim, started a sideline specialty of your existing company and sold these types of vids that you'd create and set to your own music? Called.. called...? Hmmm. <br /><br />Well, it's your company. You figure it out. lol<br /><br />Think of the vast market! How many people do you think there are stressed out in the world?! <br /><br />Or, what about people in therapy? Or people recovering from drug and alcohol abuse? <br /><br />Frankly, I haven't had an idea for a new business in about 2 months and I was starting to get worried! Whew.
