I hope to color this, and would try today. I can see it, Maat's dress royal blue, Ramses' eyes blue to match, suggesting he 'sees Maat'. His collar gold to suggest a sunburst linking him to of Ra-Hararkty, oh, I want so badly to start coloring it now. But I really should be preparing for our big plans this week. Perhaps if I get some necessary tasks done... So later...

(Later note):
I feel compelled to add my statement that making Ramses' eyes blue to suggest he 'sees Maat' in no way is to suggest I favor blue eyed people over those who are not. It is only a matter of color sameness that is the association. These days one can't be too careful. With a certain awfully anti-Semetic actor drunkenly spewing his hatred around, I just want to make sure of that.

Whew!

"Just to Say..."
7:04pm

I won't be posting for a while. I should soon have lots of pictures to make up for that absence. In the meantime, as I answered the challenge to 'explain my path in a few paragraphs', Julia also did, and I've placed her answers on our website, as well. You can see after my book recommendations, she also read the Benoist book.

Well, I'm prepared for the week ahead I think as well as I can. It gets to be stuttering time, this close to lift off. Sorry to be so mysterious, but if you've been reading for awhile, you know that's my way.

"Just to Say... I'm BACK!"
10:01pm

Okay, not much words tonight, but I have selected the best photos and put them up on the web. As it's rather late, I won't be making the journal entries around them, but if you are very curious, you can start with the first photo and work sequentially to the last photo. Well, actually, this photo of the Washington Monument as seen through the airport window was the last. But if you've looked at those photos, you might gather Julia and I spent a few days in Orlando, Florida. No, we didn't see Mickey Mouse, but did see his hand.

All went smoothly until the last plane, whose flight was cancelled until the morning. One frustrated traveller said, "You have to laugh or you'll cry." I cried, big time. But they did give a voucher for a hotel stay with free shuttle there and back. So it wasn't all bad.

And the cancelled flight happened at the END of the trip, and not the beginning. So we didn't miss out on any of the fun.

I'll get into much more detail tomorrow. Until then, keep on seeking the magic.

"Few Words Yet, But..."
5:27am

I have few new words about our trip, but I did place some of the favorite pictures into the Photo Gallery. I have Window thru Window, which was taken at the Colorado Springs resort, Tiger and Me, from the Animal Kingdom, (bits of Julia's hair and dress and another observer, too), a a captivating candle at the Maya Grill, and my favorite, a water droplet kissed flower with resort view in background. (For this one, I included full size detail also.)
