CC-3 Special case file for CSI - The great outdoors

Welcome back, it's lovely to have you drop in for a visit.  

I hope you will find some inspiration here.

Today I'm sharing a special case file,
One of our regular contributors, Lydibel Porrata
 contacted Debbi to create a special case file 
for her Puerto Rican TV show, Creativa.  
Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond her control, 
the case file was not able to air. 
Debbi has decided to go ahead with it anyway and 
at the end of the month Lydibel will choose someone to win a prize.

TESTIMONY

I used the inspiration words, outside, first and nature.  The journalling reads:-

The first six years of my life were spent on a farm with just my family for company.  I spent most days outside in the fresh air and was keenly aware of the weather and the change of seasons.  Although I now live in a small city, I love to holiday in the outback.  With the wind in my face and the smell of the gum trees, I’m transported back to the freedom and solitude of my childhood.  This photo is of Ormiston Waterhole, 135 kms from Alice Springs, in the Red Centre of Australia.  I love the grandeur of the massive Red Gums drinking at the edge of the water.  The texture of their bark, begs to be touched and photographed.  The water and the shade attracts  native birds, who feast on the seeds and noisily conduct their courting  rituals overhead.  The ancient rocks, standing sentinel for millennia, are reflected in the water and speak to me of the first inhabitants of this ancient land.  The silence, the brilliant azure skies, glimpses of native fauna and the connection with nature, all generate peace and serenity for my soul.  I savour the absence of other tourists; it’s too remote for most of them to venture so far.  My spirit is renewed and I never want to leave the outback for the rush and bustle of the city.  August 2010
