My GPS Camera Phone

Any idea what it is? Come back Thursday and find out how I did it!

Aside from all of the dying air potato vines, a sure sign of cool weather is the blooming of the elephant ears around the yard. These late blooming perennials, also know as Alocasia Macrorrhiza, are scattered throughout the yard and they often survive the winter fairly well. While the leaves are sensitive to the freezes, the underground bulb is quite hardy and will quickly replace any damaged leaves.

This is the beauty of the house I moved into. It was built in 1962-ish and all of the trees and plants are well-established. These elephant ears crop up everywhere, often in surprising places (like directly underneath the gutter drain – it takes a beating but refuses to die!). They’re just another testament to the unwillingness of nature to give in.

Even the flood of sun rays cannot quench the fire that will soon consume this fine example of kindling. Once the freezing weather returns, I’ll be back to harvest this specimen to start the first fire of the season. There’s nothing like freezing weather and a day-long fire to keep the house warm. The crackling sounds and a hint of burnt wood ushers in positivity and solitude unlike any clear summer day.

Your GPS Camera Phone: Shiera at Bisdak Babbles

Each time I look into this picture, it makes me think about the path I took and the roads that I have to take so I’m quoting this poem:

“You cannot discover the purpose of life by asking someone else – the only way you’ll ever get the right answer is by asking yourself.”
– Terri Guillemets

The pagoda that’s at the end of this road is the Toji Temple in Kyoto, Japan. This five-story pagoda is the highest wooden tower in Japan. Taken last April 2007, using a Sharp V604SH.

The other day, I approached Shiera about being a featured guest after I saw some great camera phone photos she posted. Thankfully, she accepted! What I didn’t realize is that my 100th post was quickly approaching, so the timing was great – I get to celebrate my 100th post by featuring a special guest!

Details on participation in the Your GPS Camera Phone™ program will follow, so wipe off the grubby, pocket-lint coated camera phone lens and start shooting! Thanks to everyone who has visited my blog and inspired me. Like I’ve said before, it’s all about you.

On to the next 100 posts!

With a little help from the morning sun, a well-placed tree and some good timing, I was able to remind myself that I need to paint the house.
