That Was Quick!

That Was Quick!



Holy eye blink Batman! Where did the weekend go?!

And here we are, back at Monday. My first chore of the day was disposing of a corpse.
The Muttley Crew killed a young rabbit. Nothing small and furry stands a chance in the backyard here, they are like the riders of the apocalypse, indiscriminate and brutal. While they do look appropriately shamed when I scold them, I can just tell that they just don't give a rats ass, and should anything else feel a need to invade their turf, it will be dealt with in the same swift and violent manner.
Terriers are hunters. I will lose this argument.
But I do wish they would kill something that isn't soft and cuddly for a change.

I really don't have a lot in my brain that I care to write about, Monday's are my least inspired days to be honest. So in light of that, I'll share a few more photos and call it good.







Different things from my walk on Saturday. Zen school for me, nothing else on earth helps me quiet inner turmoil like walking in nature. It is soothing to look at this earth and realize that there are millions of worlds inside our world, living out their lives blissfully unaware of human folly. That there are trees and rocks who have stood silent witness to our triumphs and tragedies without uttering a word, no condemnation, no approval. I find a profound peace when I meditate on these things.
Saturday's peace led into Sunday fun.







I love the antiseptic smell of a good tattoo shop, green soap, madacide. The sound of soft tunes and<b> singing </font></b>tattoo machines is entrancing. I went with a friend who was getting a large piece finished and now I'm beginning to jones for new ink. I want to feel that old familiar sting, watch as an artist creates, using me as a canvas. I like this artist, and I feel relatively certain that there is a new tattoo in my near future.
Well, not exactly new, but the work I have is 20+ years old, and it's been exposed to a lot of sun, so it's time for an art restoration project.
Plus, feeling that familiar pain will be good for my soul. It will remind me that I am alive and that life is not as hard as I sometimes think it is.

I'm off to the races, peace out!

New tat on top of sunburn? You are one tough babe!

Nice pics but that one with the trees/water is really great!

That's not a sunburn, nor is it my arm lol. The redness is from the wiping that happens, plus tattooing is skin trauma so the redness and sometimes a little bruising is normal.
It felt so good to be out walking in nature. I have really missed it. I'm glad you like the shots. 🙂

Great pics.
I sometimes regret just having my four tattoos. I doubt I'll have any more done to be honest.

I was married to a tattooist and worked in a shop many years. I love my ink, I love the feel of getting them, the pain is strangely soothing. But while I might love getting them, I've been considering the fact that I've aged and I just don't heal quite as quickly as I once did and I'm not interested in a skin infection. Plus most of my exercise regimen is done in the pool which is a big no no for fresh ink.
Alas, my mermaids will just have to wait until I'm in better shape.

I thought for a minute, that the first tattoo picture was a coverup of a skull!

I have a linework piece on my back that I'm still trying to decide how to color in... my kids used to sit behind me with sharpies and try out different designs!

I wish I could post a photo of this piece finished, it is gorgeous. But she isn't a member here and the tattoo is a customized piece, so I can only show bits of it.
I need some touch up work on a few of mine, nothing major, but the artist called them "old school". Made me feel my age but I giggled about it, wondering if they are calling what we called old school "ancient school".

I murdered a baby rabbit with the mower myself this weekend. Guess the reproduce so much because the females are horrible mothers / nest location pickers.

Great photos as always.

Were you around when I was posting my Route 66 shots last fall? You can search "Route 66" on my blog and find them.

We have one idiot rabbit that has nested in the backyard for three years in a row now. I love nature, but this rabbit is a pain in my ass. I have to build small fences around her nest sites to keep the dogs out of her babies.
I'll look that post up!
