It must be the red highlights in your hair (both of you) that I saw in the photo. I think hair always looks darker in photos than real life. The man-made camera can not compare to the God-made camera (the eye). But sometimes people look different in photos than real life because we also see them with our hearts, and not just our eyes (they look better in real life). I think that may be part of the reason of why when I draw someone's face (depending on my relationship with the person), I can get close but never quite looks the same as the person I am drawing. Maybe I'm just flattering myself.

If they're caught, they be paid more that the documented 'worker' (in laughs!)

...they be paid more...okay that wasn't a funny typo...

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

So she saw you with her heart or spirit when she gave you that name.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Vote Bush.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Thank you for posting that.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

LOL! Very good!

Monitors do a bad job of displaying scanned prints with color accuracy. Red is always over red on monitors. When I do serious scanning I tone the red down and lighten the picture too.

The wedding pics were scanned quickly because a lot of people wanted to see them good or bad.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Oh.

[Conspiracy Guy]

She used her hands on your face the first time she met you. I was an infant when she met me so I don't remember that at all. After she met you she knew who you were by the sound of your footsteps.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Just in case I forgot to ping you to post #107...(I can't tell now.)

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Just in case I forgot to ping you to post #189...(I can't tell now...)

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Or in your case, your foot patters...(...the pitter-patter of little feet...)...maybe she heard your wings flap when you came into the room (I'm not making fun either)...

Limerick, Ireland

"The Limerick Athenaeum The story of an Irish Theatre since 1852"
Research & Text: James A McMahon Produced by Seamus Flynn

Welcome to "IF WALLS COULD TALK!" -
the story of how a small Theatre
transformed the cultural life of an Irish city.

Theatres possess a special atmosphere that actors and performers recognise instantly. At rehersals, they clue into the spirits of the Hall, picking up on vibes and whispers of the past. Theatre deals with imagination; calling for what S.T. Coleridge describes as a "suspension of disbelief" between audience and performers. If Walls Could Talk! picks up those echoes. Actors and artists; musicians and politicains;camedians and clowns; each played a role in the drama.

Welcome.
'Tis a good thing, as mentioned.

According to accounts she was very mystical and a good herbalist. I can faintly remember her shortly before she died. I remember that she had long braided white hair and always put on a bonnet before going outside.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Does your family still have some of her herbal remedy recipes? Sometimes they work better than modern medicine, and without side effects!

[Darksheare]

I'd still get me skull knocked in by someone..
*chuckle*

Most of it was lost with my parents generation. My mom's mom, who was my Greatgrandmother's daughter could cure anything with stuff she'd collect from the woods near the creek by her house.

Mom and her sisters were too modern for that! Sheesh. We lose more knowledge due to technology.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Darn it! My great-great-grandmother farmed in Iowa and was said to have a salve that was great. My mom tried to get the recipe from her, but she wasn't able to remember the ingredients by the time my mom asked her. Too bad no one else thought to ask her sooner.

Now we have to invent the wheel again. A lot of people are tired of paying big $ for stuff that either does not work, has terrible side effects, or is just too expensive, so they are going to herbalist, etc.

"...The man-made camera can not compare to the God-made camera (the eye). But sometimes people look different in photos than real life because we also see them with our hearts, and not just our eyes (they look better in real life)...."

The body that we occupy down here, Is nothing like its start,
For one, the most attractive thing, Has always been the heart.

God looks into our heart and then, Just for His own amusement.
He gives a glimpse of what He sees, And laughs at our confusement.

“That doesn’t look at all like me!” I hear your protests start,
But when you look at other folks, How can you see their heart?

From "Reflections" (NnB) posted Apr. 7, 2004

The human camera is normally sensitive to three principal frequencies in the retina, as well as automatic compensation for lighting differences. In dim light, the human eye will see pumpkins as orange, where the camera photographs brown.

The frequencies to which the human eye is sensitive to are not absolute. In addition to differences of those who are, to one degree or another, "color-blind" there are people, I think exclusively women, who can perceive an increased range of colors because they respond to four frequencies of light.

Unfortunately, these women are often the mothers of color-blind male children because of their genetic differences. Add to this that some people who have had cataract surgery can now see ultraviolet light and you have a literal truth to the statement that we don't all see the world in the same light.
