Well, Well, Well..I think that if I talk about things I really like, then I may blog more. So Today I start a new series. Comments on my favorite musical group...


RUSH

Neil Peart, Geddy Lee, and of course Alex Lifeson

Let me start by talking about the group and why I love their music so. First of all, there a little different. They really don't sound like any other band, and in my opinion no other band sounds quite like them. So they are unique. That can be bad or good I suppose, but for me, it is a good thing. From their 1st album in 1974 (very Zeppelin and Cream influenced) to their upcoming Live Album to be released on April 15th, these three musicians have constantly focused on improving their sound, and always forging a path that is all their own. 19 studio albums, 8 live albums, and 8 compilations later, they are still as good as ever, perhaps better!! Isn't that we all want? To be better than we were yesterday?? I think that is at the core of why I love these guys. They are ever striving and nothing is impossible. Throughout this series, I will talk about each album, the music, the lyrics, and where I was and how I felt when I first heard these songs. From the age of about 11 or 12 when my friend James and I would listen to "Permanent Waves" and "Exit ... Stage Left" while playing in the front yard to the present day (I mean today) where I listen to "Caress of Steel" while cleaning the house, this is the music I love.

Stay Tuned......

Coming Up:
Permanent Waves


The hills are alive my friends. Alive with poppies, and other assorted flowers. Took these pictures while out with my daughter on a walk last weekend. These were all taken on the hilss that surround my home and neighborhood. Who knows how much longer they will last. If you get a chance, drive up the 15 and go east on Railroad Canyon Road. It's So Beautiful.






Psalm 19

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.
3 There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.
4 Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,
5 which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion, like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
6 It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is hidden from its heat.
7 The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous.
10 They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.
11 By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
12 Who can discern his errors? Forgive my hidden faults.
13 Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then will I be blameless, innocent of great transgression.
14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

This sums up my photographic vison. This is what I attempt to accomplish with each opening of the shutter. How can I capture the glory of God and his creation.
Welcome to Vision 19:1.
