Today I discovered that I had sold my first ever photo - this one!
It was sold via Getty in December 2011 but the sale was only discovered by me today - 14th Feb 2012!!!
Time does go fast, I'm 3 years here already : ) It has been another great year of builds for me and I have a feeling that it will be pretty good one this year also ; )
Added a little teaser in this photo :p

I thought that I wasn't scheduled to work this day, but then I got called in with less than an hour to get ready. Once I had my makeup on I had very little time to select an outfit.
Sometimes stress actually makes things work better and this was an example of that. I think the outfit I so hurriedly chose works pretty well!
Thanks to Ardcarne Garden Center for letting me take photos of their gorgeous Crocuses
THE SONG OF THE CROCUS FAIRIES
Crocus of yellow, new and gay;
Mauve and purple, in brave array;
Crocus white Like a cup of light,--
Hundreds of them are smiling up,
Each with a flame in its shining cup,
By the touch of the warm and welcome sun.
Opened suddenly. Spring's begun!
Dance then, fairies, for joy, and sing
The song of the coming again of Spring.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia -- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocus
Crocus (plural: crocuses, croci) is a genus of flowering plants in the iris family comprising 90 species of perennials growing from corms. Many are cultivated for their flowers appearing in autumn, winter, or spring
Crocuses are the most popular of the late-winter/early spring bulbs. Widely available and easy to grow, they are the first blossoms of spring and offer a wide range of colours.
More information -- home.howstuffworks.com/crocus.htm
Description of a crocus: The cup-shaped flowers of the crocus are upward-facing and come in a vast array of shades, from white to golden yellow to deep purple to tricolour, and may be attractively striped. The flowers appear from late winter to early spring, depending on the variety and the local climate, over grass like leaves with a white central stripe. Fall-blooming crocuses produce their flowers without any foliage; the leaves appear in spring. Crocus flowers open fully only on sunny days.

2013 Morgan 3-Wheeler
A World War I Sopwith Camel fighter plane, a motorcycle or a mini sports car? Well, I guess the exhilarating experience of driving the Morgan 3-wheeler encompasses a bit of all three machines.
Go on, slip on your WW I leather flying jacket and pull down your flight goggles.
Climbing into the driver's seat is a gymnastic maneuver not without peril. If the car has just been running, take care not to burn your calf on the hot exhaust pipes that run along the sides of the body. If you successfully avoid these hazards, the gear lever awaits to ambush your pant leg. Persist -- it's worth it. Once snugly planted in the supple leather seat, buckle up the harness straps over your shoulders and look for the starter button lurking behind a little hinged safety latch which Morgan calls, the "bomb release" cover. With the parking brake set, the clutch pressed in and the gear selector in the neutral position, make a “pre-flight” check of the Spartan array of instrument panel gauges. Ready to crank? Firmly press the starter button........
The 2.0-liter 'X-Wedge' V-twin from Wisconsin bike-engine maker S&S shudders to life with a typical chugga-chug-chugga idle of a big twin. Rated at 80 horsepower at the rear wheel (around 90 at the flywheel) the S & S V-twin may not seem to be much of a threat. Sure, 80 hp isn't normally the stuff of eye-watering performance, but your eyes do water, in part because of the wind buffeting your face, but also because a speed of 60 mph feels like 80, or 100. It can only be imagine what its 115 mph estimated top speed feels like. Bare in mind the whole car weighs less than 1200 pounds. Morgan claims a 0-60 mph time of under six seconds. What makes this so exhilarating is, you drive on a generous plateau of torque, relishing its instant, eager, tuneful response to the slightest movement of the throttle pedal.
The little Morgan 3 Wheeler’s torque peaks at 3250 rpm, and it's not that short of violent at full song, so output is smoothed by rubber cushions before being passed to a five-speed gearbox cribbed from a Mazda MX-5 Miata, via a belt to a bevel drive to the rear wheel. No need for a differential when there's just one rear wheel. Under that beetle-backed sheetmetal, the rear wheel is suspended on a bike-type swing arm, and wears an automotive 175/55, 16-inch tire. Nakedly on view to the world, the front suspension is a double wishbone setup fitted with 19-inch tires only 3.5 inches wide.
The frame is tubular steel, and what little bodywork it carries is aluminum sheet. The instruments sit in beautiful aircraft-style modular weatherproof housings. Switches and the column stalk are milled aluminum.
The history is convoluted but charming. Starting a decade ago, Pete Larsen, of Liberty Motors in Seattle, Washington (that’s in the U.S.A. btw) almost single-handedly developed a machine inspired by the vintage Morgan 3-wheelers. Word got back to Charles Morgan, grandson of founder HFS Morgan. He loved the thing, and took the design back home to England for extensive development. Liberty is now one of the U.S. distributors. But why revive the Morgan 3 Wheeler at all? As a practical everyday car, it's basically useless. You might think that since it's a skeletal lightweight, it would be best classified as the kind of car writers tend to call a "track-day weapon." Not so. Four-wheelers would run rings around you through any corner.
Instead, where this car weaves its profoundly magical spell is in turning an ordinary road drive -- at sane road speeds -- into something involving, memorable, and exhilarating. A happy time indeed for you, and those who see you.

* I sure hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed “fantasizing” about cruising along, snapping through the short-throw, sure-footed gears along a picturesque English country road at the helm of this little dynamite 3-wheeler ................... (wow, that’s a mouth full but this little beast is reported to be a hand full to drive.)

Week 3 / 52 theme is shallow depth of field. On this one I focused on the string & tuning machine, ( the technical name ) on the camera left side of the frame. Lighting is bright sunshine. Edits in CS5 & NIK.
TZBMC- this is one for anyone with medical training!
I am going to leave it as a guessing game.

Bryant has built an amazingly fast and very potent track machine that sounds better than any 3.6 I have heard on the street.

Why so soon!? So soon when I don't have the money. Aargh! Apparently 3.0 collection is now available at the BC.com. So it's official, I'm getting Lara, Mbili and Louboutin and the accessory packs. I support the Basics line to the full extent because this has what made me (re)consider collecting Barbies and I can't help but to be opinionated and be passionate about it. 3.0 is a great continuation to the line but what it fail to do was be consistent with the number of dolls released. To make up for the draw back is the addition of accessories within each doll. But each one has the same assortment of accessories which is a total let down. The decrease in the number of dolls might be (I'm making a theory right here. LOL) is that, they MIGHT just release Collection 3.5 and increase the number of dolls from there. After all this is the last collection, they have to end it with a bang! Technically 3.5 is still part of the 3.0 collection, right? The .5 collections are just extensions of the existing main collection but with an added flare or twist. So I'm really hoping to see the 3.5 and the Red Target collections. I hope my theory is right. Le't all cross our fingers on that!
My daughter and I were having a stroll along the Island Eastern waterfront. The sight of this relaxing weekend life stopped us and we decided to take a few shots...
