"I imagined you happy together. I knew in my heart that all was well with you and I smiled to myself. And now, as I opened my laptop and read your email, I am smiling from ear to ear. I am so excited for the two of you. I think you've learned your lesson well. You obviously needed this time apart to learn to appreciate each other better.
Good for you ! Stick to him, love him, be kind and patient and he will return all these favours back. Don't argue, don't criticise, count to ten before you open your mouth in disapproval, take it easy. After all, life is so very short, and it gets even shorter by the day. Enjoy while you still can, my friend."
An extract from an email I wrote a decade ago to a dear friend. Life found its way, love, too. They are still happy together.
Weather is ugly and since weeks I had no chance to take some good pics. Good time for training and learning - which will never end, as you all know. The image here is one of those studies working with the slinky stock Ladies of M.J.Ranum and the gorgeous textures of my good friend Jerry, well known as Skeletal Mess.
The 1984 movie "Against All Odds" centered around Terry Brogan (Jeff Bridges) and the (ficticious) L.A. Outlaws football team.

First things first - I am never going to go down one of those farmer single lane roads again. Let's just put it this way - I learned how to drive backwards REALLY well last night.
Anyways - this band contacted me and really wanted to work with me. I'm really happy they did. I feel these shots came out pretty nifty.
A few bottles of paint, a few shirts, and a war-branded flash later (will post picture) we had a pretty good time! The shots were taken in an abandoned POW camp in Bowmanville, and luckily we found a room that was already decorated with a painted mess that matched what we were doing! More info on the band will come later

Against All Odds
7000 Arundel Mills Circle, Suite 522A, Arundel Mills, Hanover, MD
This store opened in 2018; it was originally Docker's Outlet by Design, which opened on November 17th, 2000.
Last night I attended a viewing of a very rare and STUNNING silent movie footage "South" of Shackleton's "Endurance" voyage captured by the very gifted expedition photographer, Frank Hurley (Australia) at the Royal Geographic Society London.
,...The carpenter has a very fine cat who is known as "Mrs. Chippie"...
-- from the diary of Commander F. A. Worsley, captain of Shackleton's Endurance
When Sir Ernest Shackleton's ship Endurance became trapped in the Antarctic ice, all twenty-nine members of the crew were pushed to their limits of survival, including Mrs. Chippy, the ship's estimable cat and some 70 plus dogs and pups born on the ice.
a click against all odds, difficult as the sun was blazingly bright.
summer is back in Vancouver this week.
Kids from Central Public School in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, fly their Bad Penny Lancasters for a Windsor Star photographer as their teacher urges them on. The kids had just participated in a Skype video call to students at a Montessori School near Rotterdam, Holland to mark the 65th anniversary of the flight of Bad Penny, the first plane to bring food to the starving Dutch near the end of WWII. The 21-year-old pilot, Bob Upcott of Windsor, had taken off in bad weather early on April 29, 1945 to test Operation Manna, the Allies' daring strategy to drop food bundles in Nazi occupied western Holland. Upcott and his mostly Canadian crew, were successful and because their Lanc "Bad Penny" came back, the 10-day mission began. A Dutch boy named Peter, out that morning to scavenge food for his starving family, saw that first flight and never forgot the wonder of that moment. After the war, he moved to Canada, and many years later, met members of the crew of Bad Penny. go to badpennybook.com to learn more or to buy a copy of "A Bad Penny Always Comes Back" by Glen Mitchell. Walkerville Publishing (my company).

i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last Days of the Willow Theatre. Yonge Street. South of Finch. Love the light fixture. Gone like a fist when you open your hand (D. Hammett).
This is one in a burst of pictures capturing a wave breaking violently onto sea stacks (offshore rocks) near Salt Point Trail. The waves crash and rise about 40 ft into the air before returning to the roiling sea. Yet the sea stacks weather this year after year for centuries if not millenia without eroding away.
*Sigh*, such a good song!
Funny thing is, I have never been a Phil Collins fan, but I heard this song a few weeks ago and realized I love it. I had heard it several times before, but it was like I was hearing it for the first time.
Then, a couple of weeks later, it appeared in a Musically Challenge list. I have been singing it and playing it a lot lately, and my boyfriend was like "oh yeah I love that song", so he downloaded the sheet music (above) and has been playing it on the piano the past couple of weeks.
So sorry this is late for Musically Challenged, but I was determined to use this song!
As far as my 365 - I am not neglecting this project or anything. My life has been super busy the past couple of weeks, and my 365 sucks right now. But I'm back and I'm ready to post an annoying amount of uploads and carry on (but with better images from now on)!
