With Scepter in Hand


With Scepter in hand,
in cornfield she stands.

If you can complete the poem...please comment :)

In the Fog

Hermann Hesse is one of my favorite poets and writers...he also was a great painter and artist. I truly believe the Retreat has many parts of his passion for creativity present.


























Strange, to wander in the fog.
Each bush and stone stands alone,
No tree sees the next one,
Each is alone.
My world was full of friends
When my life was filled with light,
Now as the fog descends
None is still to be seen.
Truly there is no wise man
Who does not know the dark
Which quietly and inescapably
Separates him from everything else.
Strange, to wander in the fog,
To live is to be alone.
No man knows the next man,
Each is alone.

Maybe we all need to be NOT so in the fog and pay attention to what is around us...the daily beauty of life and the elements.

Sarawak

Sarawak
A place to explore, to walk, to rest and have some fun with friends... and maybe to take some pics.
You can check out and submit pictures to the Flickr Group

I loved this place. So many opportunities to take pictures. If you love animals and nature, this place has it.
I found my prince :)


I love the whimsical little touches to this sim. Look around and see what you can find.

He is so patiently waiting for his Master.

These wolves were amazing. They look so realistic, you will be in awe.
After all that work snapping pictures, it was time for me to relax in the warm Fall sun before Winter comes. Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday afternoon.

Club Noir

Club Noir is a small jazz club. The perfect getaway from a busy sim. I really loved the cozy place. I hope everybody goes and checks it out.

I had a lovely time dancing and cooled off in the rain :)Thank you Alem Theas for the lovely dance.




I will most definitely go back to this place :)

Frank's Jazz Club


Thank you to Steve for making the evening very pleasant at The Galleria at Franks.If you like Jazzy type of music you will like Frank's Jazz Club. Right next door you will find the Galleria, where you can shop for some fabulous clothes and also dance a little too.


Lamplighters and BURN 2

Burn 2 is an extension of the Burning Man festival and community into the world of Second Life. It is an officially sanctioned Burning Man regional event, and the only virtual world event out of more than 100 real world Regional groups, and the only Regional to burn the Man!

The cool thing is the Lamplighters and they have been an important part of Burning Man almost as long as Burning Man has been held in the desert. 
I had actually signed up to the group 3 years ago but after meeting Micheal never went back. I am so excited that I am there now and get to be part of the processions and the fire dances.

Don't miss this great event.
You can see more pictures of the event and past years at the Flickr Group.

Autumn and so much more...

"For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together.  For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad."
-   Edwin Way Teale

I really love autumn, because the colors are so vibrant and warm. 

You should go and visit Autumn in Morrill County. There you can pick your own pumpkin, climb a tree and pick apples. After all that hard work you can go and get some lunch or dinner at the neighboring cafe and figure out how many calories you consumed. Work it all off at the Avatar Fitness Center.
I know sounds scary? LOL!!!

The last Dance

After 926 days or 2 years, 6 months, and 15 days...we took the final dance. It is very sad because just when the Retreat has been growing and residents are showing up to enjoy it. 
I will miss our exploring and happy times together.
Hope you get to stop by and see the Retreat in its Winter Glory.

Perhaps we will meet up again one day.

I am selling the Ocean Property for L$700 located here:

Mieville Halloween Village

This is truly the spirit of Halloween here. While you shop you can also be part of a hunt for Halloween goodies. So much to see here, so many unique new items. 
Come in a costume and join the others....



Guess what I am wearing for Halloween? Yup the Pumpkin Avatar...

Dinner for One

Lately it has only been me here in SL. All new adventures and dinner dates...with just me.
Here is a nice place you can go on a date for dinner.
That's Amore


The song that was playing was : I got you Babe by Sonny and Cher :(

Photoshoot


If you ever need to have pictures taken or want to do a photo shoot...there is a cool place. Of course you can search and find many Photo labs around the grid. I just use this one.

The Graveyard

I am totally amazed how many people have stopped by the Retreat for the Halloween Pumpkin Hunt. WOW, this is so cool.
I hope you all enjoy the retreat and the free gifts.
Hint: Look on the graveyard...you have to climb over the wall via the ladder...you will find a pumpkin there :)

DARKWOOD

Darkwood is another beautiful sim crafted by Tenk and Truck Meredith, who are the owners of Calas Caladhon Park.
It is a on foot experience and you should bring a friend.
Some parts of the deep woods are scary :) 

I was desperately waiting for someone to come along with me, but had no luck. I just followed some residents, hopefully they didn't think I was stalking them.

I recommend taking some time to go on the cuddle boat ride and the barrel ride. Those provide a total overview of the sim inside and out.

So hold on to the one you love...or just love the one you're with.
