Lovely Laughter
Originally uploaded by mongoliandeathworm
We crimson-topped folk have suffered over 800 years of discrimination all because of our golden locks. For hundreds of years literary references warn against the unlucky and/or evil nature of people with red hair. The Proverbs of Alfred warned as early as the 1200's that 'the ...

Autumn Fires
In the other gardens
And all up the vale,
From the autumn bonfires
See the smoke trail!
Pleasant summer over
And all the summer flowers,
The red fire blazes,
The gray smoke towers.
Sing a song of seasons!
Something bright in all!
Flowers in the summer,
Fires in the fall!
by Robert Louis Stevenson

the moon in autumn,
a cool breeze in summer,
snow in winter.
If your mind isn't clouded
by unnecessary things,
this is the best season of your life.

Too many for me.
How much burning, burning will you feel,
Be friendly with the fire, enough ...

Southwestern Sun
Originally uploaded by Elva Undine
Another year gone, leaving everywhere
its rich spiced residues: vines, leaves,
the uneaten fruits crumbling damply
in the shadows, unmattering back
from the particular island
of this summer, this NOW, that now is nowhere
except underfoot, moldering
in that black subterranean castle
of unobservable mysteries - - -roots and sealed seeds
and the wanderings ...

Redhead - Glebe street fair
Originally uploaded by xssat
Another beautiful redhead. These two photos we found on flickr and thought they were worth sharing. It is the everyday redhead that true beauty emanates. It is not necessary to be anything other than ourselves to be absolutely stunning.
Take for example this girl. ...
