Changing Seasons

The Canadian Geese are starting to migrate.
A flock just flew over the house, honking as they flew.

The leaves are changing colours and falling.
A blanket of a dying summer covers the ground.

When the Dark-eye Juncos arrive I know winter is coming.

A Voice Silenced


Mary Allin Travers (November 9, 1936 – September 16, 2009)


BLOWIN' IN THE WIND
Bob Dylan- Special Rider Music - SESAC

How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
How many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
How many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
How many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Arrival

My long lost animation textbook and Gogol Bordello CD finally was delivered today. The excitement is overwhelming -- new music for new animations.

This week has been camera-less animation, i.e. animation directly on 16mm film then run through a projector.

Next week, cut outs.

"Nobody puts Baby in the corner."

Flowers decorate Patrick Swayze's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles, Monday, Sept. 14, 2009. Swayze, the hunky actor who danced his way into moviegoers' hearts with 'Dirty Dancing' and then broke them with 'Ghost,' died Monday after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 57.
