In Guad We Trust



She is all around,
answering fervent prayers.



Working miracles
for those who believe.



Radiating goddess energy
out into the Universe.




Just being
an inspiration
and consolation.


Mosaic Monday.
Mexico Monday.
A Virgin a Day.


And please join us 
for


Share the Joy Thursday.

Lost my comment! Lovely mosaic. The ponies in my blog post have a barn to go to but they like it outside. It was quiet pleasant out when I took their pics.

Meri,
This is superb. We are surrounded by Guadalupe and yes, goddess energy is a good way of expressing it. The colors you have chosen and the design of this mosaic is not only artistically pleasing but the softness of it, the "blue haze" of it is really consoling. One feels a peace and warmth radiating from the image. Lovely.

you found a very nice madonna. To believe is one way seeing things happen in your life which can't come from our power is the other way. Sometimes it is so overwhelming to stop believing because perceiving. Have a wonderful advent time!

A little color, 1890s style, from around the world.

The process was invented in the 1880s by Hans Jakob Schmid (1856 - 1924). It was popular in the 1890s, when color photography was in existence but still commercially impractical. Sepia Saturday.

Sepia Saturday: John Grabill, Wounded Knee, and Plenty Horses

Image
It always amazes me to see photographs taken more than a hundred years ago. And it makes me feel like a little part of a longstanding tradition, capturing moments in time via camera. Of course I don't have to haul around big cameras with heavy plates or worry about the harmful chemicals,  just tripods and spare batteries and extra memory cards. But once upon a time, a man named  John C. H. Grabill (1866 - 1934) made his way around the American West -  circa the late 1880s to the mid-1890s  and took photographs of a way of life that's disappeared. He sent a portfolio of images to Washington, D.C. to obtain copyright protection for his works. And then he seemed to disappear into the landscape. But because he copyrighted those works, way back then, the Library of Congress has made them available to photography aficionados everywhere. I searched census records,  but never discovered Mr. Grabill. Online sources have scant info,  though one a...
