A mouse trap story

Sep 27

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer andhis wife open a package.
What food might this contain? The mouse wondered. He was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap. 
Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning: There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!”

The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, ”Mr.Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me.  I cannot be bothered by it.”

The mouse turned to the pig and told him, ”There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!”
The pig sympathized, but said, I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray.
Be assured you are in my prayers.”  

The mouse turned to the cow and said ”There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!”
The cow said, “Wow, Mr. Mouse. I’m sorry for you, but it’s no skin off my nose.” 
So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer’s mousetrap . . . ..alone.

That very night a sound was heard
throughout the house — like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey. The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer’s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital  , and she returned home with a fever.  
Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup’s main ingredient. But his wife’s sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock.
To feed them, the farmer butchered the  pig. 
The farmer’s wife did not get well; she  died. So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them. 

The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness. 

So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn’t concern you, remember when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk.We are all involved in this journey called life, we must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another.

One of the best things to hold on to in this world is a
FRIEND ! ! !

I must say that photography is so diverse in this day and age. I’m just going to show you what can be achieved in a setting of 8′x7′ in my living room. I don’t do this much but I’ve experimented with this on Monday and I kind of liked it. I think this might be the transition to my studio. I don’t really see the need in having a studio as Aruba has sooo many beautiful backdrops so why have a studio if you wouldn’t use it especially if your preference is shooting with natural light. Like it is in my case. This however opened up additional possibilities that I’ll be lookin into in the near future as I already have all the basic neccesities. I’ll be showing you a series of images that I took, thank God for self timers. All these images as mentioned earlier in a section of my living room, sitting area, den. However you would like to call it. And then taken into the digital lab and this is what came out. I must say that they look pretty good. Being the perfectionist that I am I have to work it a bit more before it will be offered to the general public but to this point I’m happy.

The father of success is work - The mother of achievement is ambition.

Short and sweet. It could not have been any clearer.

In order for you to achieve success in this life, you have to be ambitious and work. Just a sidenote, the harder you work at it the more successful you’ll be. That’s a whole other quote.

Her name is pronouced “Tee”.

Destiny brought her to Sweden as a little girl from Vietnam, where she grew into a beautiful young woman.

Faith had it that as she grew up she would work in the restaurant where she met Tommy. It was love at first sight. Tommy became a regular customer of that restaurant just to stop by and see Thy.

After requesting Thy’s hand in marraige from her parents. He proposed to her about a month later on bended knee in a restaurant in Bastad, a popular summer retreat in Sweden.

The wedding plans began and after consulting some travel experts in Sweden they were advised to come to Aruba. After them doing their own research, their unanimous decision was Aruba.

They tied the knot on Sept 10, 2007 at the Bucuti Beach Resort . Nashette, the wedding planner did a marvelous job at preparing everything as the couple raved about not being able to ask for more. These guys are so in love you can see it in every shot. They were just so natural in front of the camera and you could really see their emotions through the images.

Thy and Tommy, may you live a happy life together. May God bless your marraige. We’re right here anxiously waiting for you to come back to our island, Aruba.

Blessings,

Bryan Morris

I was just using this website a while ago to check sunset in relation to some upcoming wedding times and I’ve decided that this will be very good information to post. Advice from a photographer of quite a few years already with a cuople hundred weddings behind him.

If you have plan on getting maried around sunset, check this site www.timeanddate.com. Here you’ll get the accurate time of sunset. Schedule your ceremony one hour before sunset. This will give you ample time for the ceremony that is ussually at least 20 minutes and then you have about 40 minutes to take pictures in the sunset. Much more can be accomplished if your not in the middle of the ceremony during sunset. Whenever scheduling your beach ceremony keep this in mind.
