Tara

"Dear someone listening in the shadows
I only talk to you sometimes
And though I ask for help in riddles
It is clearer in my mind, clearer in my mind

Born of a sign that carries vessels
But in a month that's cold as ice
I know I question things too quickly
But I have never questioned if I've loved

Dear someone watching from the shadows
I'm clenching water in my fists
the drops, they slip right through my fingers
But there's water on my lips, water on my lips

Born of a sign that carries vessels
But in a month that brings just ice
I know I question things too quickly
But I've never wondered if I've loved

Dear someone watching from the shadows
You've seen me lose all the water from my hands
I'm not a skillful water carrier
But the raindrops keep falling on my head, falling on my head

Born of a sign that carries water
But in a month that brings just ice
I'm not a skillful water carrier
But I've learned to carry love,
learned to carry love..."


-Regina Spektor, Aquarius

These lyrics are describing exactly how I feel. I've been waiting for an image to depict them. I feel like I see this song echoing in Taras eyes.



I had a very hard time deciding what image to pick for todays blip. I was originally going to be posting a layout that uses three images, but it just wasn't the same when blip photo sized. It looks great enlarged however!

I must show you the other choices I was then throwing myself back and forth between. They were the ones from the top of the layout. The one on the left was so lovely and story telling, while the one on the right showed her incredibly brilliant eyes.

The one I settled on is best for my blip today though, as it shows true emotion, close up and head on. It shows her sparkling eyes, her flawless skin, and her wavy-wind-tussled hair. The expression on her face pulls you close and makes you feel as if you've plunged right into her heart.

That's what a great portrait should do.
