Vern Ostdiek
I was just browsing through my pictures, and came upon some pictures taken by Vern O. – longtime friend of the family – that I had “borrowed” off my mom’s computer. Vern was a physicist, astronomer, author, hang glider pilot and teacher. You’d usually find him dwelling in a farmhouse in the outskirts of town with his cat, or sometimes cats. Many many cats. Vern was a big influence in my life and in the lives of many that I know and don’t know. He left the world in October of 2008 way too young, but nobody could ever say he didn’t live 1000 times more than most of us. Here’s some views of the world from Vern’s lens:

Jalal ad-Din Rumi says…
“Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don’t claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent.”
The (Self) Portrait Party 2009
Rama over at theportraitparty.blogspot.com has once again hosted a Self Portrait Party. I took part last year with my pseudo-psychedelic self portrait (or whatever.. I actually just like using the words ‘pseudo’ and ‘psychedelic’ 🙂 ) which can be seen HERE.
For this year, I stuck to my paper cutting guns and submitted my self-portrait that I use in the About Me section. You can find it on Rural Pearl HERE, but go over to the portrait party site and check it out along with the others!
