"Did you know...
that when you walk past a flower, whether it be in somebody's garden or on a vacant hillside, the flower will always smile at you. The most polite way to respond, I've been told, is to cheerfully return the smile."

Ethereal Kiss
One day you wake up in the darkness,
And you realize it's not dark but the light surrounding you is such a blinding one that your eyes can't get used to it.
You're in a haze and you see... Her.
She seems to be floating,
Are you in the air, or underwater?
Slowly she comes to you and tries to reach you
With her hands, her lips...
And tenderly she kisses you.
It's the softest kiss ever.
An ethereal one, fading in time...
... and when you ask the question, you know that the answer is yes.

This photograph took my breath away and transcended me
to another place and time in my life in Hawaii.
The colours of the sky represent the hair and fire of Madam Pele;
Goddess of the Volcano in Hawaii. The water is pure copper,
(a mixture of red and gold(, reflecting the sky, which is gorgeous
against the blue of the sky in the background.
Keali`i Reichel is my `Ohana, my family and this song is a tribute
from him to your photograph Eduardo. I am in tears. This is the
most beautiful sky I have ever seen in my life. I have no words.
Moanalani ;) xo
This song says it all for me......IAYAYAM

The Thing About Love...
A mother's love and the love of her child and for children is the greatest love ever. The joy children bring can never be replaced nor can it ever be taken away. Children are a gift from God. Life is beautiful with them in it.
Sureros
This is so aesthetic to the eye when viewing the red, white, and
black colours Eduardo. The hat completes it all. A great capture.
Even the horses are in an "attire" as well.
IAYAYAM,

Dedicated to..
Love is unconditional. Love is unmeasurable. It is wide and vast as the universe and as warm as a burning star that shines in the night.
Friendship never abandons nor forsakes. It finds you day and night.
When you combine the two, you are inseparable and can feel each other 24 hours a day. You feel the separation, the pain, the longing, the missing of each other's company, and the love for this is such a lonely world without it.
This is a website, just an internet, just flickr. But between two people who feel that much more, a true and loving relationship forms and feelings are formed, bonding and unconditional love is real. It is NOT a game.
May all who read this learn, that a quick glance at a photograph means NOTHING. Read the words that accompany the photograph.
View the photograph and feel it with true emotion. God gave you
5 senses, use them, embrace life and welcome all that come into your life with love, unconditional love and friendship.
Aloha, Roberto Tuareg.
I wish you all my unconditional love,

Eternal Love
From the movie 'Moulin Rouge'
Love is a many splendid thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. All you need is love!
Bryce Courtney
Love is energy: it can neither be created nor destroyed. It just is and always will be, giving meaning to life and direction to goodness... Love will never die.
Charles Stanley
Romantic love reaches out in little ways, showing attention and admiration. Romantic love remembers what pleases a woman, what excites her, and what surprises her. Its actions whisper: you are the most special person in my life.
Thomas Trahern
Love is the true means by which the world is enjoyed: our love to others, and others' love to us.
Honore de Balzac
True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself. It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations; it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them, for it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves.
Lao Tzu
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
Sir Arthur Wing Pinero
Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.
Leo Tolstoy
When you love someone, you love the whole person, just as he or she is, and not as you would like them to be.
William Shakespeare
Love looks not with eyes, but with the mind.

"Unconditional Love is the most important and significant love in the world. It has no boundaries, it does not discriminate. It sees with the heart and soul. It is exponential, for it is bounded by spirit and is grounded forever between two people."

"Yellow Eyes"
We've roamed the wild country
My beautiful yellow eyes,
Side by side we've hunted
Shadows dancing on northern skies.
There have been times of plenty
We were content and serene,
Peacefully sleeping
Dangers few and far between.
We've also known much hunger
Ribs protruding from each side,
Mournfully we howled
When our starving cubs had died.
And then there was our first winter
Romping thru the glistening snow,
Tasting each crystal snowflake
Falling gently to and fro.
Ah my dear, sweet yellow eyes
I've known no greater love,
Without you, I am nothing
Our wild souls are one.
And now you lay there dying
Steel jaws upon your frame,
Life's blood slowly seeping
I whimper your sweet name.
Helpless, I watch you struggle
Chest heaving with labored breath,
Steel jaws clenching tighter
Winds whisper the song of death.
The blood has now stopped flowing
I know the time is near,
And you will forever leave me
My love, my life, my dear.
And now my world is silent
Your struggles now have ceased,
I lay my head upon you
And know you are at peace.
Perhaps your soul has lifted
To skies where eagles soar,
And there you'll greet your brothers
To run with them forever more.
And someday I shall find you
In the heaven's so far above,
And when our wild soul's unite
There'll be no greater love.
~Joan L. Van Vels~

Cuentos de tosta'os
Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long,
Broad breast, full eye, small head and nostril wide,
High crest, short ears, straight legs and passing strong,
Thin mane, thick tail, broad buttock, tender hide;
Look, what a horse should have he did not lack,
Save a proud rider on so proud a back.
~William Shakespeare~

The artistry and workmanship that is seen in it's intricacy
here within the details of each piece of individualized jewelry,

I can hear your footfall,
And smell you on every wisp of wind.
I’ll carry you through all your sorrows
To whatever end.
I’ll soar with you upon the breath
Of dreams we both embrace.
Together we will take by storm
This world that we must face.
Don’t worry now…I’ve got your back,
And side-by-side we’ll fight.
If one should falter on the path,
Then let us both take flight.
I’ll bear you far away with me,
And shoulder all your strife.
Trust me and I’ll take you on
The Best Ride of Your life.

El sobrepuesto
"El sobrepuesto"
The overlay of carpincho combines perfectly with a
message of ropes (reins, head, muzzle, and cabresto
foot rawhide) and arequeros stirrups or sole.)
This is an amazing overlay on the horse.
The textures of leather, rope, beads, silver, and the
design of it all
are a work of art in itself.

Women Airforce Tribute:
“Let us acknowledge the measure of their sacrifice by honoring them as brave women, and by honoring them as women who served without thought of glory which we accord to heroes of battle. The service pilot faces the risk of death without the emotional inspiration of combat.Men who battle in the sky have the grim, triumphant knowledge that their bombs and bullets are destroying the enemy, and their courage is sustained by the emotions of conflict. These women have given their lives in the performance of arduous and exacting duties without beingable to see and feel the final results of their work under the quickening influence of aerial action. They have demonstrated a courage which is sustained not by the fevers of combat, but the steady heartbeat of faith—a faith in the rightness of our cause, and a faith in the importance of their work to the men who do go into combat. Let us pay tribute to these women by honoring their memory . . . Let us treasure their memory as women whose sacrifice has brought honor not only to their country,
but also to their organization.
We shall not forget the accomplishments of our women fliers and their contributions to the fulfillment of our mission. And we shall always keep and remember
the brave heritage of the women who gave their lives.
It is the heritage of faith in victory and faith in the ultimate freedom of humanity.”
~General Barton K. Yount, Commanding General, Training Command, Army Air Force~
