Memories of you

I find that all my memories are entwined
with
not just a picture in my mind
but
all the senses combined.
~ Elora Henig


Of course, the traditional five senses we learn about in grade school are sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste. Surprisingly there are more senses, according to academic studies, but that's another post, maybe.
For me, all five senses overlap in importance depending upon the circumstance. Some memories are triggered by a smell; salt marsh, a taste; french fries with malt vinegar, a touch; sand between your toes, each important on it's own or can combine to form a particular picture.
[Daydreams for a moment]
Ahhhhh, The aroma of a fresh cut lawn and wet earth are a couple of my favorite smells. Focus...Elora focus. [makes note of future post ideas]
Excuse me, my mind is just a mess of wires crisscrossing and they tend to get jumbled up often. For me, I believe, music plays a strong role in evoking powerful emotional flashbacks.
Alright then music... the song that sparked this post is from [plays fanfare] Yellowcard, One Year, Six Months. Although I've not been in SL that long, only one year and almost five months, it's close enough.






(portion of the lyrics)


I'm falling into memories of you and things we used to do
Follow me there
A beautiful somewhere
A place that I can share with you

I can tell that you don't know me anymore
It's easy to forget, sometimes we just forget
And being on this road is anything but sure
Maybe we'll forget, I hope we don't forget

It's a lovely song. Listen, if you have a moment.

LoveThursday: Swinging...


on a Star. Carry moonbeams home in a jar.


Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a ______?

Fish out of water

When it comes to writing, I am a fish out of water. It's not my natural habitat. I have tons of visuals to share but I just never know what to say. So here goes my attempt at writing a little.

I was exploring, like I do everyday, and I came across a wonderful person with this avatar from alpha.tribe . She was kind enough to share the LM to obtain it because... I just NEEDed to have that avatar. It is what inspired me to create these images. These two are my favorites, the full body versions just lack something, in my opinion.



So, that is what pushed me back into the water. I love the water. I would live in the water if I had gills and fins. In my quest for water I found a Sim, a collection of Sims really, dedicated to the underwater world. Surprisingly, rather empty of other avatars. I enjoy going back there time and again since the first visit. It never gets mundane to me.

Swimming along the bottom searching this place reminds me of my physical experiences scuba diving in the Bahamas.

Most of the fish and aquatic life are very realistic in size and color.

The Lost Treasures of the Sunken City is a great adventure. I would recommend it to everyone. The bonus is there are treasure chests to be found amongst the remains of the sunken city. Plus, I am able to use one of the many mermaid avatars from my collection.
