Stone ledge by Quarry

This is a photo of the type of stone that surrounds the Quarry. There are deep fissures/cracks in these large stones.

Mark and I went to Harrington Beach on Memorial day. Harrington Beach is a 20 minute drive from our house and is a State Park located adjacent to Lake Michigan with a beach. There is also a Quarry there with a walking path around. I am trying to appreciate the beauty near me rather than traveling long distances.

I am trying to photograph my own images to use in my artwork. No copyright worries that way. Jack in the Pulpits are one of my favorite woodland plants.

Tarot Card

You are Strength

Courage, strength, fortitude. Power not arrested in the act of judgement, but passing on to further action, sometimes obstinacy.

This is a card of courage and energy. It represents both the Lion's hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden's steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion's mouth, in others she shuts it. Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That forces can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot, which might be why, in some decks, it is Justice that is card 8 instead of Strength. With strength you can control not only the situation, but yourself. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one's personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.
