Summertime. The expected image is of sunshine, blue skies and shimmering heat. But it is the night that brings the mystery. It is the dazzling northern lights, the quiet interrupted by the chirp of the crickets and screech of the owl. The breeze rustling through the branches that changes from soothing to unsettling. A lover’s whisper sending a refreshing chill along your spine.
Those are the things that make a summer of dreams.

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What’s standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
~ Lyrics from “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri
I have never seen the movie “Twilight”, but “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri is one of those songs that needs no reference to the film to be beautiful and haunting. It touches me and that is all that matters.
When I saw the announcement for the Hair Fair 2014 Photo Contest I wanted to enter. The theme is Music, so although I rarely enter contests this is one I wanted to do.
This isn’t my first attempt. I have done three different photos – the first one before I remembered I needed to include an inspiration song, so that one won’t see the light of day. The second one used a different tribute song, but I just can’t seem to get right. I’ll keep going back to it in the next few days to see if I can make it work.
The photo for the contest needs to be “a tribute to hair that you love.” Does this photo do this? I’m not sure. All I know is that when I wear it I feel delicate, feminine and vulnerable, yet strong and brave. That is what this song is about to me…to open your heart to someone fully takes strength while exposing yourself to a thousand years of potential heartache.
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more
One step closer
