I do not understand this woman at all. One moment she's affectionate, the next she calls me an asshole! Women are an enigma to me.

What happened was she had been in a good mood, greeted me when I arrived home.. Unexpectedly sweet, really. Which I did not mind, and was rather grateful for, actually.
So Izayoi says, "I love you". Wonderful! I mean, I knew anyway, before she said anything. I said "Thanks", (better than no thanks, right?) Of course I would say "Thanks"! I appreciate the gesture! I was merely showing gratitude!

Next thing I know she's an arm length away from me (after I got shoved rather rudely), and giving

_{I bet ya'll didn't know I do some amateur photography on the side, did ya'? I do, just... never post anything since I know people don't watch me for that.}

I chose this name for this photo because it's it both a wildlife refuge, and a refuge of mine during my childhood.
I can't count how many times I spent my day there to to get away, unwind, and immerse myself in the scenery and wildlife. Just about every day after school for years I would go there and stay until after night fell.

I had so many misadventures there during trail hiking, photographing wildlife and landscapes.. I can recall my first time ever going there, when I was nine years old, with my Aunt Sylvia. She is an avid photographer and took me to take pictures of the birds, and I remember how much in awe I was-- to me, it was like being in an episode of 'Wild Discovery'. ( When I took this picture today, it was with her too. It being only the second time I have ever gone with her, ten years later. )

I also recall chasing down a bobcat just to get a good shot of it-- very stupidly-- and of course didn't get the photo, but got a great story and encounter! I also lost a good pair of my favorite shoes there during the dry season when the mangrove swamps dried up into muck. I wanted a good vantage point to photo some spoonbills and thought I could step onto what I thought would be solid ground. HAH! No, I stepped in waist deep and was being sucked in. It took two people to pull me out, and I lost my shoes. But really, the worst part, was the STINK! I suppose I was also lucky no gators seized that moment of opportunity.

I could go on forever about the vast amount of fond memories I have exploring and just growing up here, but I'm sure no one wants to read that novel!

I for one really love photography. I love taking pictures. I love viewing pictures... But my two most favorite forms of photography are:
A) Anything with a positive theme or message
B) Photo's that have or share a meaning, purpose, or message. Something that means something to people. Something that tells a story.
That is why I like this picture.

=Miisu Feb 13, 2013

Thank you so much! I'll also be posting more photography too. <3
Just a little here and there..
