Some of the harder, darker parts of my life that I don't put on my main blog.

New header image . . .
Is mine and mine alone. I own the Copyright to that image as the photographer who took that picture. It's actually part of a larger image I took in 2006 to remind me of a place I love in Colorado. It was shot up off "Lookout Mountain Road" just outside of Golden Colorado.

Thank you both, I'm very fond of this image for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that it worked out just the way I saw it in my minds eye. It was latish in the day, and it was mostly overcast, so the over all landscape had a mutted, flattened effect common with over cast shots. But there was just a hint of sunset showing through and the little bit of color just really made the image pop. A full size view is available on my flikr site which shows the rest, and the touch of color. I did no real post processing on it, specifically because I wanted that heavy overcast just after a storm look to it. I wanted it to look like winter, with just that touch of warmth in there.
A unique, young, beautiful woman with a warm heart who also happens to be VERY old all a once. I have had to work hard over the years to find and embrace my authenticity, and make my life my own. I'm a survivor of Domestic Violence, a Widow, and I was born intersexed. I can readily understand, accept and relate to people dealing with their own journey to wholeness of being. Intersex and Transsexual people have a harder life in so many ways than we need to, but there are successes to, and I'm one of them.
A beautiful vantage point!
