Quote DBA: "Wraith: It's never a good idea to drink from a downflowing stream, creek, river, etc.... even if otherwise clean, if there's a dead animal upstream in the water, you could get VERY sick. If you know the mouth of it, and have explored it recently, it should be ok."

We live near the mountain Peaks. About a 40 min drive away. So it's mostly mountain fresh water. Or was at that time. The water was so crystal clear and refreshing, it was actually better tasting than the well water we had. It was a simpler time where man was one with the earth. For me anyways. When this river used to flow alot, we all used to get our tire tubes and float down stream to the next lil village. Nowadays we have construction almost everywhere that I can think of. And I hate ORANGE barrels! Everytime I see an Orange Barrel I want to get out of my truck and proceed to bash it and kick it. Orange Barrels are polluting my creativity! Driving me crazy. Seriously. Plus, the river I once knew, is now just a sorry little stream that will probably get your shoes a little damp. Too many people moving into my home town, too many businesses ( Casinos ), Trees getting sick probably because of the Local Lab Experiments of Los Alamos. Just everything is going down hill.

I remember back then, spring time actually had flowers blooming, Butterflies, all that spring time cheer. Now all we get is Moths, Stinks bugs, WEEDS! And this last spring was very very cold!

I know the type of area you're talking about... animals still fall to their death upstream in places like that, and if they are diseased, you can still get very sick.
Go out and sprinkle seeds of flowers that butterflies like. Make it happen. If you don't know the kind of wildflowers butterflies favor that grow well in your area, memo me with with the area you are in exactly and I'll tell you how to do it. Hey, Ladybird Johnson died this week. :( I think she was 94.

I'm not sure what the deal is with the orange barrels, but if it isn't private property and nobody's looking, get a sledge hammer and bash away if it makes you feel better. :D

Hehehhe.. Thanks DBA. But I think I can do without Butterflies. I was just making a point how things are getting worse. Although I do live next to I-25. So it would be kinda cool to see a cloud of butterflies near it. :D

And then I'll unbutton his shirt, and...oh. ;D

I truly like this a whole bunch. Thing is, when you figure out how to "finish an emotion", please send me the instructions. I have a few I'd like to be DONE with.

(To me it looks like the tail of a tornado touching down in the middle of a wildfire in a dry pasture, and the fire is trying to "rope it off".) Deep, huh?

sounds more like literal interpretation than deep. >_>

it looks like yay

yaay, smileeeeyy... :D:D:D:D:D:D

:oD

Yay! Nanannybooboo I got a happy face sticker. :D

This has to be my favorite thing of yours so far.... aside from the beautiful nude that was placed in the Showcase recently. When doing this type of art you always seem to manage to keep what I note as the Navajo "weaving tradition" of leading us in, and allowing us a way out. It may not be intentional, maybe it's subconscious, but I always notice that and then I'm comfortable looking at it. This is an ingenious work of abstract art, and I see innumerous things in it that I could comment on, but since I talk too much, I'll just leave it at that :).

innumerous

I love that word. You get extra internet cookies for working that word into your comment. :)

I wanna happy face sticker, please. :)

nice work! i love it. im a big fan of western.
the shades has odd contrast, and i think you need to think about the lightsource. so the characters get a more live forms. aaah.. who cares. it looks really good.

im giong to take a look at your gallery later, im curious about your artworks.
nice jobb. keep up the good work. *thumbs up

I'm guessin this is from tombstone I love that movie lol. No i am not 50 im 17 lol. But it's a great picture tho nice detail on it

They all look great. Sam Elliot and Val Kilmer stand out as the best to me.
Amazing all around.

Haahahaa..he was probably thinkin.."which one..which one" lol

I want to say something...but I find myself speechless.

APOLLO JUSTICE!
Gahh I can't wait for the North American release...

Like Rukia it has a feel of Lore's style, but different. Nice use of colors, like crayon's or markers.

Odeko-kun!
Haha this looks excellent :] you should draw Akane sometime, yus.
Hoho, I got Gyakusai4 but I can't play it 'cause a certain someone has my DS B; *coughLarkcough*

I can't wait for Gyakusai3 to come out here .w. *woo Godot*

I was doing a picture inspired by a song too, but I lost the feel too quick.
Love to know what you were listening to that inspired this. Must have been cosmic.

For me, the music never lasts long enough. I still say life should have a constant, acccurate soundtrack.

I was listening to "Secrets of the Universe" by The Modern Fiction.. as you can see, I went pretty fast, listened to the song twice in that time, and wasn't thinking at all, just grabbing colors and the tools and flying all over the canvas ;) And Dave, I think Klox has done more than a couple!
