This picture was shot back in Rambo's timid days. At this point in time he was scared of almost everything and everyone. Through having him around the right kind of company and friendly places he's definately grown to become a not so timid dog. I snapped this picture on a walk through Charlotte when he stopped to check things out.
I really wish I made it back out to this field this fall. I guess I'll just have to put it on the list for next year. Sunsets are amazing at this spot too.
Last but certainly not least here's a photo from the top of the hill at the trails. Everything has been covered back up in plastic to help prevent erosion and save on the maintainance when the opportunity to ride again presents itself. Once the temperatures start dipping a bit lower and the moisture in the clay dries up there might be some more sessions to come before the end of the year. I've got my fingers crossed on that.
Rumor on the streets is I may be getting a digital camera in the near future. I'm not sure if I want a Canon Rebel t1i or a D40 or D50. I found a package deal on a t1i with a telephoto lens and the stock 18-50mm for about $750. Rambo is up in arms about my decision to get a digital camera. I'm really into the idea of being able to film HD quality video on a digital slr.
There are great voices in any musical genre. Singers like Sade, Alison Krauss, Sting, and Ben Harper make listening to music all the more special.
Then, every once in awhile, you find a singer who simply makes your jaw drop at their amazing tone and style.
I bring you Lisa Gerrard from Dead can Dance and also a solo artist. I have been a huuuge fan for over a decade, and still to this day songs like this one almost make me a bit teary eyed from the sheer passion in her voice.
She starts by singing in idioglossia. A rare form of language where a person actually 'makes up' their own words and language! So cool.
She also plays a Chinese Dulcimer called a yangqin. The second video showcases her talent on it.
The 10 day forecast is filled with rain. Today looks to be the last window of opportunity as far as riding the trails go for a while. I'll be taking full advantage of that today under the watchful eye of Rambo.
