The Black Book of Colors by Menena Cottin

I stumbled across this while looking for a book for my cousin’s new baby. I was so intrigued by the whole idea. On each left page there was words written in braille and then again in white text. It was the description of colors, according to how a blind child would experience. On the right there were raised etchings of what each page was describing. It’s so beautiful.

One page in particular that really caught my attention was the one describing the color red. It talked about how red is how it feels to bite into a ripe strawberry, or the stinging on your knee after you fall down.  Blue was the feeling of sunshine on your face. 

It’s just so astounding that someone managed this, as the idea of how to describe a color to someone who has no reference has always fascinated and baffled me.

Eeee. look at those cuties. OuO

His mate was seriously injured after she was hit by a car as she swooped low across the road. He brought her food and tended to her with love and compassion.
He brought her food again but was shocked to find her dead. He then tried to move her….a rarely-seen effort for swallows. Aware that his mate is dead, he cries with adoring love. He stood beside her body with sadness and sorrow.
People cried after seeing these pictures when they were published in the leading newspaper in France. All copies of the paper were sold out on the day the pictures were released.

And many people think animals don’t have emotions.

:c …

I just feel like I need to do this with God right now.
Sounds incorrect, but I probably need to give up burdens up and just lean on Him.
(Sortof goes in conflict with “Do your best and He’ll do the rest”…? I don’t know.)

The picture is just so dawww….  

THIS SMILE… THEIR SMILE….

I usually hate street performers.

Unless they’re good.

Like this guy. 

wow

this made me just sort of

stop and

put my chin in my hands

and smile.

seriously, just listen to this.

I probably would have thrown my whole wallet in his case…

Can I marry him?

I’ve never seen any thing like this. He’s his own symphony.

This beautiful thing is on my dash again.

MUST REBLOG

Musicians enjoying their craft, my one weakness…

I finally find enjoyment in drawing again.

I’m so glad… I feel like a part of my former self has been regained.

Scuffle scuffle scuffle…..

I feel like the kitty.
