Love is like a Butterfly. Not for its beauty, glory, or grace, but for its bravery. For what other creature can live in such weakness and fragility, yet still look out into the complete unknown, spread its wings, and jump. In a flash of gold he is gone, into a world unseen by all others.
Have you stopped looking?
Whatever it is you hold most tightly, there will come a time when you have to let it go. That is the only way it can return, bearing the olive branch of peace. There is no other way to truly hold what you really desire, to hold what you cannot lose. Look to the dawn, the Dove is rising.

Have you stopped looking?
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For-U2
I have climbed highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well yes I'm still running
You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believed it
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for...
Fallen-Sarah McLachlan
Heaven bent to take my hand And lead me through the fire Be the long awaited answer To a long and painful fight Truth be told I've tried my best But somewhere along the way I got caught up in all there was to offer And the cost was so much more than I could bear Though I've tried, I've fallen... I have sunk so low I have messed up Better I should know So don't come round here And tell me I told you so... We all begin with good intent Love was raw and young We believed that we could change ourselves The past could be undone But we carry on our backs the burden Time always reveals The lonely light of morning The wound that would not heal It's the bitter taste of losing everything That I have held so dear. I've fallen... I have sunk so low I have messed up Better I should know So don't come round here And tell me I told you so... Heaven bent to take my hand Nowhere left to turn I'm lost to those I thought were friends To everyone I know Oh they turned their heads embarassed Pretend that they don't see But it's one missed step You'll slip before you know it And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed Though I've tried, I've fallen... I have sunk so low I have messed up Better I should know So don't come round here And tell me I told you so...
Meant To Live-Switchfoot Fumbling his confidence And wondering why the world has passed him by Hoping that he's bent for more than arguments And failed attempts to fly, fly [Chorus]We were meant to live for so much more Have we lost ourselves? Somewhere we live inside Somewhere we live inside We were meant to live for so much more Have we lost ourselves? Somewhere we live inside Dreaming about ProvidenceAnd whether mice or men have second tries Maybe we've been livin with our eyes half open Maybe we're bent and broken, broken [Chorus] We want more than this world's got to offer We want more than this world's got to offer We want more than the wars of our fathers And everything inside screams for second life, yeahWe were meant to live for so much more Have we lost ourselves? We were meant to live for so much more Have we lost ourselves? We were meant to live for so much more Have we lost ourselves? We were meant to live We were meant to live
Blaze- Rising Dove
I see the flames, they're all around me.
Somehow I never thought it'd be like this.
I try to walk the straight and narrow,
But it is burning away.
Just burning away.
Let your kingdom come, o Lord,
Let me see it through the fire.
Give me teh strength to walk that path,
Through the flames.
God all I want is to be pure,
Pure enough to see your face.
But even gold must face the flames,
So please refine me again.
Refine me again.
And Let your kingdom come, o Lord,
Let me see it through the fire.
Give me teh strength to walk that path,
Through the flames.
Through the fames.
Jesus I've build a house of straw,
To protect me from your mercies.
So strike a spark and fan the flames,
And burn me away.
Just burn me away...
And burn me away!
And Let your kingdom come, o Lord! Let me see it through the fire.Give me teh strength to walk that path,Through the flames.
Through the fames.
Through the flames.
Oh Lord hear me say,
I see you through the flames
I can hear you say,
My child I'll see you through the flames.
Through the flames...
Heart Still Beats- Brave Saint Saturn
The girl in the alley kneels with exhaustion She's guarded by the skinny guy who limps from some infection Behind a veil of bleached thin hair her eyes tell a story Like a photo of Berlin, December 1944 She's looking for a handout, she's been high for several weeks now She's too far gone for whoring and the money just gave out And her heart still beats inside And the blood runs in her veins A remnant of life remains Her heart still beats inside The man finally comes to the door, I've seen him several times He always looks pissed off and his sunglasses stay on I think he got his biceps and tattoos while in prison And it doesnt seem to bother him when he says "go to hell" And his heart still beats inside The blood runs in his veins A remnant of life remains His heart still beats inside The thought it comes to my mind, to somehow intervene But it could bring me trouble, and what can I do anyway? It's hard to be effective when it happens so often To see a life unraveling, through drawn venetian blinds I'm sickened by compassion, I'm stifled by my limitations Anesthetic apathy, come take the pain away And my heart still beats inside The blood runs in my veins A remnant of life remains And my heart still beats inside Oh God, we need you here We're sinking fast and we dont care The evidence is all around me, on both sides of my door Our hearts beat...
Rise-Origa
I'm a soldier, znachit ya
I otvyetchik i sud'ya
Ya stoyu na dvukh kontsakh ognya
Ogibaya virazhi, obgonyaya smyert' i zhizn'
Ya byegu srazit'sya s tyen'yu lzhiskol'ko b nityey nye plyol obman
pokazhyet lik svyeta istina*Save your tears
for the day
when our pain is far behind
on your feet
come with me
we are soldiers stand or die
Save your fears
take your place
save them for the judgement day
fast and free
follow me
time to make the sacrifice
we rise or fall
I'm a soldier, born to stand
in this waking hell I am
witnessing more than I can computepray myself we don't forget
lies, betrayed and the oppressed
please give me the strength to be the truthpeople facing the fire together
if we don't, we'll lose all we have found*repeatZa myechtoyu nakray propasti
Lish' tol'ko tak mozhno mir spastiTy nye plach',
Slyozy spryach',
Ved' nastanyet novyy den'
Tvoy ogon'
Sogryevat'
Budyet tysyachi syerdets
A syeychas podnimis'
Spryach' podal'shye bol' i strakh
Pobyedit tot, kto prav
Znay, chto vsyo v tvoikh rukakh
Ana Johnsson LyricsWe Are

the depth of field control is something sweet...!

I KNOW! :-) That's the 50mm fixed lens, it's like magic! Highly recommended!
You are going to run out of hard drive space in a month.
Anyway.. great pics.
Dad
Awesome Pics Caleb! It looks like you've been using a DSLR forever! So you like the 50mm fixed lens.... I'll have to look into that.
Mom
I actually already have run out of HD space. :-) Yes, the 50mm fixed lens is awesome! f1.8, so the potential for indoor shooting and wide aperture is fantastic! Thanks! Now I just need to learn something about editing beyond the basics!
