Beautifully painted and versatile Ceramic Pumpkin

Purchased a week before Halloween on the day of a full moon. This little pumpkin has the energy of spirits flowing through it. Wither the spirits are troublesome or not depends on you but this pumpkin has never lasted long in homes. But that doesn’t mean odd things don’t occur to the pumpkin its self. When placed in water it floats when it should sink, placed on tables or other surfaces you’ll always here a “clUNK” or “THUD” at night to find it had fallen on the floor. With all these strange occurrences happening the oddest one, is the appearance of hermit crabs and other small animals in the pumpkin itself. This only happens at night and I capture this photo by staking out all night. Typically you can hear the noise of the animals scurrying around the room at night and find things amidst in the mornings; if you leave a hand or foot outside of the covers the creatures start to nibble and bite in hopes devour your flesh.

Mental health is a progress one that I’ve been working on for almost four years now and will be working on for my whole life. It’s not easy and a lot of the time I don’t notice my progress right away. So learning that I am doing something better or something of that sort is always exciting for me and it shows that all my hard work is paying off.

The photo I choose on The Big Picture was this picture encased in more shadow than light. I chose this because to me it’s important to expose yourself to things outside of what your use to, keep an open mind and to stay out of the shadows (unless it’s a hot sunny day). I understand that it can be frightening and confusing at first to step out of something you’ve always know and into what seems like a chaotic mess. But once you take that step you realize that the chaotic mess isn’t so crazy it’s just a lot of passion and empowerment and inner strength. But doing this is much more freeing and liberating than staying in the shadows.
I used GIMP a photo editing tool to create the stark white background between the two buildings.

I just finished this book that a friend gave me for my birthday. It’s her favorite book and one of mine as well, this book is a series and I’ll now be buying and read the whole series lol. The realness of the characters is striking and the images that Maggie paints with her words makes the book play like a movie in your head.
