Here's a shot of the wild mane that is going salt and pepper, lighting is a bit odd but I think you can see it. I refuse to buy into the idea that grey hair has to be covered up.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/38194655@N00/59221553/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/29/59221553_bd9a0b9439_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="100_0006" /></a><br /><br />Happy HNT!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22150203-114106311852601257?l=thinveilings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>salomenoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22150203.post-1141063409505069392006-02-27T12:55:00.000-05:002006-03-01T06:46:39.520-05:00HNT is about celebrating our skin. We all have our 'bits' we are unhappy with. But whatever they are, they are ours, and we need to be happy in our skin and accepting of it. So with that, here is a great poem that helped me celebrate and my homage to my own hips, stretchmarks and all. Perhaps not an artistic shot, but a celebratory shot.<br /><br />  <em>Homage to My Hips<br /> <br />these hips are big hips.<br />they need space to <br />move around in.<br />they don't fit into little<br />petty places. these hips<br />are free hips.<br />they don't like to be held back.<br />these hips have never been enslaved,<br />they go where they want to go <br />they do what they want to do. <br />these hips are mighty hips.<br />these hips are magic hips.<br />i have known them<br />to put a spell on a man and <br />spin him like a top <br /><br />-Lucille Clifton </em><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/38194655@N00/71226786/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/30/71226786_7a4e7f97ec_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="100_0121_1" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22150203-114106340950506939?l=thinveilings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>salomenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22150203.post-1141063582868273852006-02-27T12:54:00.000-05:002006-03-01T06:47:11.060-05:00<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/38194655@N00/82111382/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/41/82111382_f77bbbfd8f.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="100_0221_1" /></a><br /><br />A place to lean, or cry, or better yet...plant a kiss.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22150203-114106358286827385?l=thinveilings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>salomenoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22150203.post-1141063648189482652006-02-27T12:53:00.000-05:002006-03-01T06:47:45.106-05:00Are my seams straight?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/38194655@N00/85317120/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/6/85317120_18ae08bef3_o.jpg" width="256" height="384" alt="100_0259_1_1" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22150203-114106364818948265?l=thinveilings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>salomenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22150203.post-1141063791662228172006-02-27T12:52:00.000-05:002006-03-01T06:48:13.120-05:00<i>Leader of the Band</i> by Dan Fogelberg. It was released shortly after my artist/musician grandfather died. I later inherited his Gibson guitar. I got to thinking how much he would love HNT. No, not because he was a dirty old man, but because he was an artist and had an appreciation for self expression and the human form. My musical skill will never equal his, but I here is my artistic tribute to him.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/38194655@N00/94222473/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/43/94222473_3b71ad725a.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="100_0334_1_1" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22150203-114106379166222817?l=thinveilings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>salomenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22150203.post-1141063875153986412006-02-27T12:50:00.000-05:002006-03-01T06:49:15.816-05:00Happy Valentine's Day!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/38194655@N00/96822136/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/26/96822136_85f522efbe_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="kiss" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22150203-114106387515398641?l=thinveilings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>salomenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22150203.post-1141063938212943682006-02-27T12:49:00.000-05:002006-03-01T06:49:49.106-05:00Sometimes HNT is not about the skin at all.<br /><br />In memory of a beloved friend (11/14/61-2/16/05)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/38194655@N00/100252769/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/27/100252769_50c0a96f67.jpg" width="350" height="500" alt="4feb16" /></a><br /><br /><strong>Butterfly Soul</strong><br /><br />Clouds obscure the sun<br />as I sit alone.<br />A flicker of orange<br />dances before me<br />and rests on my hand.<br />The tickle of your footsteps<br />brings a dawning smile.<br />I marvel over your grace,<br />your beauty,<br />your joy.<br />I reach to caress your paper wing.<br />You rise to the sun.<br />I watch the rays receive you, <br />feel their warmth<br />on my face.<br /> -MKRB<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22150203-114106393821294368?l=thinveilings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>salomenoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22150203.post-1141064017171760662006-02-27T12:46:00.000-05:002006-03-01T06:50:23.613-05:00Damn that Punxatawny Phil last month...Winter came roaring back with a vengeance this week.
