What do you see?

Nothing can provoke so many emotions at one moment in time as a beautiful work of art!

Ansel Adams (February 20, 1902 – April 22, 1984) was both an American photographer and environmentalist. I have been a fan of his black-and-white landscape photographs of the American West, especially Grand Teton National Park, since I had the pleasure of seeing his work at the museum here in Charleston twenty years ago.

So of course I felt honored to receive one of his prints from FulcrumGallery.com to display in my home. Our National Parks by Ansel Adams arrived beautifully framed and backed.  The quality of the image is perfect. This print will be proudly displayed in my home as a source of hope and inspiration for years to come.

These are a few of my other favorite black and white photography pictures of the more than 150 that FulcrumGallery.com has to offer.

Coconut Water
& Mango

Ultra Fresh Hydrating Body Wash

Product Information:

Treat your skin to twice the tropical refreshment with every shower. The rich lather of this body wash is infused with coconut water, known to be rich in hydrating antioxidants and electrolytes. While the scent of juicy, ripe mango leaves skin feeling fresh, clean and delectably fragrant.

My Thoughts:

I have used body washes for more than 10 years and have tried all kinds. Some smell good but leave you feeling greasy, others give your skin that clean feeling but leave you smelling like hotel soap. 

A few years ago I started using another Dial body wash and have been faithful to it ever since. Well, I just got out of the shower and am loving this new body wash! The NEW Dial Coconut Water Refreshing Mango Body Wash smells amazing and leaves you feeling clean. I believe I have found a new favorite body wash.

Pazuzu has returned to haunt every corner of your life!

Pazuzu Unbound by Saurav Dutt

Book Description
Publication Date: July 3, 2014


Engulfed in darkness within a desolate road on the edge of civilization stands the New Terminal Hotel. The fate of a group of strangers is tied inexorably to an ancient and unspeakable evil waiting within its walls ready to be unleashed. The demon Pazazu thrives on human flesh and blood to satiate its burning hunger. It chooses the faithless, the lonely, the estranged, those inflicted with rage and self-contempt for humanity. 

As midnight beckons and these lost souls converge upon the unholy grounds, this ancient evil is determined to be awakened, hell-bent on capturing the lives it so craves to satisfy its blood lust. As they enter the silence of God’s tomb, they will come face to face with Pazazu: once banished to Hell forever, never again to torment a human soul but who has now arisen once again to annihilate mankind and destroy countless human lives. 

Steeped in horrific ancient mythology and terrifying folklore, the demon Pazazu terrified scores of readers and film goers in the seminal book and movie ‘The Exorcist’ as well as its subsequent incarnations in both cinematic and literary form; but the winged demon is now due for a grisly return in a new book timed to coincide with the unleashing of The Exorcist: The Complete Anthology onto Blu-Ray this September 23rd.

My Thoughts: 
In Assyrian and Babylonian mythology, Pazuzu was the king of the demons of the wind, and son of the god Hanbi. He also represented the southwestern wind, the bearer of storms and drought. Pazuzu is the demon that haunts!

I received a copy of Pazuzu Unbound to review and thoroughly enjoyed flow and the pace in which the story unfolded. The author quickly captures your attention and draws you in. Never sure what horror awaited me on the next page I couldn't put Pazazu Unbound down, reading it from cover to cover. 

Pazazu Unbound is a must read for any lover of the horror genre.

What is evil capable of? How far would you go to stop it?
What haunts you?
