Oh give me land lots of land under starry skies above don't fence me in Let me ride through the wide open country that I love don't fence me in Let me be by myself in the evening breeze Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees Send me out forever but I ask you please don't fence me in Just turn me loose let me straddle my old saddle underneath the western skies On my cayuse let me wander over yonder till I see the mountains rise I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences Gaze at the moon until I lose my senses Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences don't fence me in
Well, well well... aren't you folks the most clever of clever?! I love all of these. And I have to say, Free Range Buddhas need to be protected. (And I want to hear the Buddhist version of Home on the Range.)("Where seldom we laugh, on this cool eightfold path...")
There is no way I can top any of these so I'm just going to say namaste...
Check out my multimedia column: Views from the Front Porch
Published at South Pasadena Patch.
In December of 2007, after many years on the west side of Los Angeles (and at least a third of those years spent stuck in traffic on Pico Boulevard) my family settled into a happy little house in South Pasadena. Join me as I put down roots in my new home town.
Also, read the story on photo bloggers Petrea Burchard, Ben Wideman, Kat Likkel and little old me featured in the September, 2011 issue of Pasadena Magazine.
Thank you Charlie's Coffee House for hosting my recent photo exhibit, South Pas: Observed. From October 2011 through January 2012 my pictures graced the walls of the best place in town to get a cup of coffee!
A picture a day from South Pasadena, California -- an incorporated city within the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area. All photos up to November, 2008 were taken with a Fujifilm Finepix E900 camera. I added a Fujifilm Finepix S2000HD megazoom in December 2008, a Nikon D3100 in 2010 and a Lumix DMC-DS8 in 2011. I shoot with them all. In August 2010 I joined the iPhone camera craze and sometimes include pictures captured by my phone. I regularly crop images and use basic editing software to adjust the brightness, intensify the contrast, and increase color saturation. Other than that, all images come straight from the camera with minimal alteration. (If I couldn't have done it in a darkroom, I won't do it with a computer.)
The bigger picture:
Consider it a love letter to the place I call home.

Our very own Altadena poet Linda Dove weaves words into thoughtful tapestries in her moving poetry collection In Defense of Objects and chapbook O Dear Deer.
Kevin McCollister of East of West LA astounds us with haunting images of Los Angeles. But since we can't put his blog on our coffee table, we can buy his fantastic book. I believe Kevin's images truly capture the quixotic and often heartbreaking soul of LA. Don't take my word for it, see what The LA Times had to say.

Aah, well. Looking down the hill @ ah Buddha, looking up the hill.
Or, just a buddha put out to pasture.
Buddha's Easement
Buddha Remains Present to Irregularities
Buddha's Dog Run
Hm, is it like a shrine?
Justin Timberlake's newest video - "Buddha in a Box."

"DON'T FENCE ME IN"
Oh give me land lots of land under starry skies above don't fence me in
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love don't fence me in
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me out forever but I ask you please don't fence me in
Just turn me loose let me straddle my old saddle underneath the western skies
On my cayuse let me wander over yonder till I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
Gaze at the moon until I lose my senses
Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences don't fence me in
Take the straight path to enlightenment.
I prefer the free-range Buddhas
Foreclosure prevention
The garden of compassion.
I am cracking up over the captions - esp. SusC's free-range... hee-hee.
The Vigilant Buddha, as opposed to the Vigilante Buddha.
All Knowing; All Seeing; Protector of the Universe; and this small hillside backyard.
Bhudda takes a bathroom break.
Free range Buddha gets my vote.
Altho the Cole Porter reference and lyric was also made me laugh.
Skate down the roof...Grind the fence...Into Buddha...
...Hospital!
Free Range Buddha wins hands down.
Free range Bhudda wins hands in lap.
Buddha's Dog Run has my vote but there were so many great ones I can't even name 'em. You guys are so creative. I guess it's a California thing.

With the addition of Dixie Jane's song,
EAST MEETS WEST.
A very unusual place to put Buddha in!! Have a good sunday, Laurie!!
