When I got to my computer this morning, my youngest had set this up... my favorite tea, a 'love you' note on a piece of toilet paper with some blood spots (he had a bloody nose), and the rose, he had pulled out of a vase! How cute is that!!
When this 366 is done, I want to print the photos in an album. That is the reason why I choose this capture as the photo of the day, even though I made some other shots that are technically much better. At the moment it's about the feeling I get from the image that counts, not the quality. And nothing from today could top this one! :)

Almost didn't do this. At all. I had the hardest time drawing anything.....but here you go. Faster than usual arts.
It bugs me that I changed the blue of the text balloons (Which I stole off the internets) but it was hard to read. Still is.....

The lighting standards on Westminster Bridge are already very ornate but when the light begins to fade and the lamps come on they give off a gorgeous green tinged light. Westminster Bridge was one of the designated meeting points for the Photo 24 London participants. As a result we'd been walking up, down, around, over, and under it for well over an hour checking out all the great views it seems to offer. I took a similar shot to this during the daylight hours but really wanted to return when the lights came on. Well worth the wait me thinks!
Did you know the bridge is painted predominantly green, the same colour as the leather seats in the House of Commons which is on the side of the Palace of Westminster nearest the bridge. This is in contrast to Lambeth Bridge which is red, the same colour as the seats in the House of Lords which is on the opposite side of the Houses of Parliament.
In 2005–2007 it underwent a complete refurbishment, including replacing the iron fascias and repainting the whole bridge. It links the Palace of Westminster on the west side of the river with County Hall and the London Eye on the east and was the finishing point during the early years of the London Marathon.

I felt like posting something a little different today. So I decided to post a photo I took this weekend of our cat, Fiona. I think it turned out pretty cool. I hope that you guys think the same. By the way, have a great week.

nothing too interesting, but let me just say I like this waaaay more than what I was about to post. lol.
I had a really good day today.
Yes, 9.72s!! I will always remember this guy’s name: Usain Bolt from Jamaica – just like a lightning bolt, 21 years old, the 5th time in a race and he broke the men’s 100m world record… I watched the whole race live at the Icahn Stadium in the Reebok Randall’s Island Grand Prix meet. It was breathtaking… in fact, he got Tyson Gay (9.85s) chasing the whole way, read here.
I and several friends of mine were watching the whole tournament especially to see the world champion and Olympic gold medalist Liu Xiang to compete in the Men’s 110m hurdle. But it turned out that Xiang mildly hurt his hamstring during practice and therefore couldn’t race just to be conservative for the coming Olympics … he came and said sorry to all the fans though :) It was late at night. Just when we were about to leave, someone said oh let’s see the last race - the Men’s 100m. And of course we stayed and were expecting Tyson Gay to put up yet another amazing performance. But now you know what happened… I am glad that I wasn’t trying to shoot photos in the race otherwise I would miss seeing the most amazing 100m race in my life. I was standing in the middle of the home stretch on the audience stand. There were 2 false starts before they finally got a clean one… when the runners passed my location, Usain Bolt was 1.5 yard ahead of Tyson Gay and both seemed to be in the same pace but we then saw Mr. Bolt hit the finish line first. I was just about to talk, one of my friends yelled at us – look at this, 9.71. He broke the world record!!! (they later adjusted it to 9.72 adding the wind speed) Oh yes, I knew that Tyson would not run slow but it was this guy who ran really fast… just amazing! Then he walked the whole lap and came around to the home stretch again... that's when I took this photo. There were thousands of Jamaican fans chanting and he waved to them, may not be realizing how excited everybody was…
Oh btw, it was a nice Saturday evening, loved it! I watched the amazing performances by Veronica Campbell-Brown (my all-time favorite :)) (10.91s) in the Women’s 100m, Wallace Spearmon’s 20.07s in 200m and Xavier Carter’s 44.70s in the Men’s 400m. Really nice races! And, Sanya Richards was signing autographs and taking photos with fans at the end :)

leave me out with the waste
this is not what i do
it's the wrong kind of place
to be thinking of you
it's the wrong time
for somebody new
it's a small crime
and i've got no excuse
is that alright?
give my gun away when it's loaded
is that alright?
if you don't shoot it how am i supposed to hold it
is that alright?
give my gun away when it's loaded
is that alright
with you?
