JANUARY SUMMER



It was January 12th, 2013.  It is the middle of winter.  However, it felt as if it was a late spring day.  Wonderful.  I took my camera, while on my walk around the track and onto the trail into Meadow Lark Park.  It was a wonderful day.  Great sunshine.  Also, I took advantage of the spring-like weather to go outside for some exercise.  What a wonderful time to go for a jog or take a long walk.  For me, it's always interesting to bring the camera along.  Never know what I might find.  



This was an interesting shot.  I was walking through the woods on the gravel path the went around the pond. There were trees on both sides of me.  But these trees were surrounded by water, as the snow had just melted.




There was a thin layer of ice STILL on the pond.  It was over 60 degrees outside....the sun was shining brightly and it was pleasantly warm.  Lovely capture of this ice on such a beautiful day.




I was probably more fascinated at the small woven branches squiggling through the woods than with larger downed tree.  The deadness of winter....on a bright spring-like day.  


What I found interesting about this photo of the path that I was taking around the pond and through the woods that I could see a little of 3 seasons in it.  Winter - the pond to the left and it's thin layer of ice; the patch of green grass; and the leaves from fall.  Lovely. 



This was a picture of the creek from the bridge on my way out of the woods.  The water level was up because all of the snow had just melted.  





I thought this creek photo was interesting.  As I was taking the photo I looked up and saw that someone had placed a part to a picket fence up against a thicket of branches and leaves.  Just to the left was a shack-like shed.  That would have been interesting had I included it into this photo.  




Tall grass to the left of the park.  The Monon trail is just behind those trees.  The Monon trail is a trail that extends from central Indianapolis all the way through Broadripple, Carmel, and Westfield Indiana.




The trail I take is a part of the Meadow Lark park which is next to the park and goes around the pond in several directions.  The path is a natural one.  This road curves around the trees.  This particular tree is in the middle of the small road.  A couple of block ahead of the tree is one of the hospitals.  It's really hard to tell that one is in the middle of a growing thriving city from here. 




Of course, the next day the temperature has dropped 30 degrees and snow and ice once more has visited.  What causes such odd weather in the middle of January?  Still I really enjoy being reminded of spring while yet in the middle of winter.

GROWING UP IN A HAUNTED HOUSE

2220 N. Armstrong St. Kokomo Indiana My childhood home after the burning by a serial arsonist in July 2001 This is the synopsis idea I sent to Raw Television's Paranormal Witness to later be produced and aired on Syfy Channel on July 10th, 2013.  Understand that this synopsis does not include every story but only touched on some paranormal experiences with Raw Television producers.  It was never intended to be a book here.  The Blog is my synopsis.  Also, remember television chops and edits out everything people say in their interviews and includes only what they want.  If I could have included everything on the 50 minute program in my episode I could have had a full length featured film.  But I wrote this synopsis for a 50 minute program.  It was spliced, chopped up and edited to suit television purposes.  People write me a lot and ask about the inconsistencies.  But what they don't realize is Television has their own agenda and their own purpose.  They don't ca

TV PERSONALITY, DEMONOLOGIST AND LITERARY PERFORMER CARL JOHNSON

Carl L. Johnson  By Lana J. Brock Some of you may have heard of Carl L. Johnson.  He is a man with many talents.  He's known by many as a former T.A.P.S. Ghost Hunter member of the original Ghost Hunters team (that's before all the popularity) and had a chance to exercise his Demonologist role while with them.  He and his brother, Keith Johnson, both were involved with the humble beginnings of the televised series of Ghost Hunters, in the first 2 seasons, on the Syfy Channel (then SciFi Channel). Soon after, Carl became independently involved as a Demonologist for the Animal Planet's, "The Haunted".  He participated in 5 episodes of that series where he comes in to offer his assistance in the cleansing of homes infested with demonic activity. Carl, in his abundance of talents, has had a fondness for theatrical literary performances of such classics from Edgar Allan Poe and horror fictional writer H.P. Lovecraft, as he is charismatic and has a flare of cha

EITHER GOD, SATAN, ANGELS, DEMONS, HEAVEN AND HELL EXIST OR THEY DO NOT!

I find it amazing when religious people or even spiritualists claim that 99.99% of all claims of demonic activity is unfounded and that the demonic is rare.  Ridiculous yet, so funny.  I saw so much evidence of the demonic as a child at so many different places to convince me that we are at the mercy of those who try to deceive us with LIES that I needed to get the facts on my own....and to get my own direction and discover the truth.    I find it ridiculous that this is what the spiritual world has been reduced to.  The spiritual realm not only includes the souls of all living things but also 1/3 of the heavenly hosts which fell from God's Grace.  Seeing as how God created a multitude of angels for HIS Praise one must not discount the great multitude of demons which transferred to Earth when 1/3 of the multitude had fallen cursed into the darkness realm of the Earth. The spiritual realm is made up of all of God's creatures whether they are Earth Based or Heavenly.  Most
