Yeah OK, maybe not quite the bridge for a Troll to reside under, but hey, this was pretty close to the purple elephant and his dog, so you never know... :)

Street portrait from Glasgow, Scotland.
Black and white re-edit of a shot from September 2018.
A shy and softly spoken soul, Billy was none-the-less happy to talk for a while and for me to make some portraits of him. I profoundly miss those encounters when street shooting. Perhaps one day I can return to doing what I love.
Take care my Flickr friends.

The Thistle Tunnels are twin bores under Billies Mountain in Utah, constructed by Morrison-Knudsen after a massive mudslide buried the town of Thistle in floodwater and closed the Rio Grande main line in 1983. Passing through one of the curved bores on Track 1 is a westbound Union Pacific helper set dispatched to Castilla to help a heavy eastbound UP freight over Soldier Summit on the night of November 6, 2007.
Flatty had a partner, a bird I named Billy. They visited together, but I had no bond with Billy. Here they sit together on the fence in the late afternoon light.
This waterfall is fairly difficult to shoot. There is just not much color there to work with. If you look through other images of the falls most simply use the sky to add some color. When I visited the site, I wanted to do something different, use something besides the sky to add color. Well, there was some great yelow grass, and some green near the falls, but it was hard to get to. The lookout is high above and getting in close to the fals would have meant using a zoom, then loosing the setting. So in order to get the color, and the setting, I had to venture down the cliff edge. So I went down, into the cliff face, which was made of sand and loose rock. Sooooo not the smartest thing I have ever done. One step, slide 5 feet, next step, slide 4 feet, and so on. I finally reached the color and set up the tripod. I was quite excited to see what it looked like. So anyway, I do not advise this spot. Not sure its worth the effort or the danger. After all, when I finished shooting and turned around, I had to climb back up, one step up, three feet back, second step up, 5 feet back. Not a productive way to get up a cliff. Enjoy.

Puffing Billy Railway is in the Dandenong Ranges, 40 KMs (25 miles) East of Melbourne. After leaving Puffing Billy Belgrave Station, the line passes through the lush green Sherbrooke Forest with Stringy Barks and Tree Ferns lining the track. The route is quite a challenge for the locomotives with many sharp curves and steep climbs. It's also a treat for train photographers.
Strobist: AB1600 with gridded 60X30 softbox overhead. AB800 open behind backdrop of white faux suede.Triggered by Cybersync.
Since its spring here is a sample of the Billy Buttons flowering in our garden. I was told these are Billy buttons but they look different to other Billy buttons that I grew from seed. Anyone who can help with identification it would be appreciated. They are so golden and such a delight in the garden at this time of year.
Born as Ronald Wycherley in 1940, better known as Billy Fury. He was one of the early pop starts from Liverpool. With a number of chart hits and film roles.
An early star of rock and roll, he equalled the Beatles' record of 24 hits in the 1960s and spent 332 weeks on the UK chart.
I'd never seen this flower before, but it was in a large planted container that I put on my front steps. It's Greek name is Craspedia.
This border in our garden is Billy's favourite part of the garden. It's full of tall grasses, allowing him to take as much shelter as he wants. He can move along with the shifting sun, always able to find the right degree of protection.
Coucou tout le monde c'est Billy au clavier.
Voilà, on vient de rentrer de chez ma gentille véto. Je pense que môman a raison, la véto est amoureuse de moi mais grave comme il faut, elle a passé plus de temps à me papouiller et à me dire plein de mots d'amour que des soins. Entre nous, je préfère ;-)
Alors, pour mon menton, c'est une grosse plaie pas belle à voir du tout (moi j'ai pas vu mais j'ai vu la tête de môman, mamie et ma véto et ça avait l'air bien dégueu!). On m'a nettoyé convenablement la plaie, on m'a même enlevé des petites touffes de poils et du coup on voit ma peau rose cochon en dessous :-p
Pour ne pas que j'aie trop mal, on m'a fait une belle piqure de cortisone et j'ai pas bronché.
Pour l'intérieur de ma bouche, c'est pas pire qu'avant, y a même un léger mieux par rapport au mois de mai. Il n'y a plus d'ulcères au niveau du palais mais par contre y a des zones très rouges au niveau des gencives. Et puis on a peut être eu l'explication de cet abcès. En fait la grosse canine en haut à droite (on la voit pas sur la photo évidemment mais c'est de ce côté là) est tellement longue qu'elle a creusé un trou dans la "lèvre" de la machoire inférieure :-( on dirait le foureau d'une épée il paraît mais comme la gencive de cette dent là est très enflammée, c'est sûrement ça infecte une veine qui arrive sur mon menton et qui fait que l'infection sort par là...
Donc voilà la mauvaise nouvelle de la soirée c'est que je vais retourner sur la table d'opération mercredi! On va m'enlever cette saloperie de dent et puis une autre aussi un peu plus loin. Et d'ici là ça sera antibiotiques matin et soir, pweeerk.
Môman a eu un peu peur mais la véto a dit que si elle proposait cette solution c'est qu'elle avait confiance, que vu mon âge y avait un risque évident mais il y a aussi des techniques d'anesthésie moins lourdes et que de toute façon avant l'opération on allait me faire des analyses de sang et un examen des reins et qu'elle choisirait alors l'anesthésie qui convient le mieux. Du coup c'est môman qui avait pas l'air fier dans le cabinet de la véto parce qu'il faut pas oublier que j'ai un souffle au coeur aussi. Moi personnellement je m'en foutais, j'étais déjà retourné dans ma caisse après qu'on m'ait dit que j'étais le plus beau, le plus brave et le plus gentil, na!
En tout cas môman vous remercie tous pour vos gentils mots, elle est très touchée et elle vous embrasse tous très fort. Moi je vous envoie plein de ronrons et je file me coucher, vais rêver à ma véto! A bientôt!
