As the summer and early fall flowers fade away, the bees find fresh resources in these newly blooming late season lovelies. I think they even made a movie with the same title, no? Well, something close anyway...at least the same number of letters...I'll think of it.

Today the conditions were very difficult for taking a good landscape picture. I had to use unusual parameters, that I would not normally use. Wide aperture, high iso, fast exposure. Because in every 2 seconds waves splashed over my head. There was no way to use my tripod. I had my back to the sea, protecting my camera and in between the waves I tried to snap some pictures as quickly as possible. The filters needed to be wiped after each wave. 15 minutes later my clothes were soaking wet and I had to get back to my car. But the exciting and interesting foreground forced me to try these desperate measures.
This past weekend we paid a visit a favorite, local nature center just for a change of scenery before winter gets here and makes such outings a truly unpleasant experience.
As we've already had some severe cold weather in our area recently, we were pleased to have mild temperatures and even clear sunny skies on the day we'd chosen for our outing.
Needless to say, what a surprise to see this turtle sunning on a log on the lake there! There was still a definite chill in the air in spite of the sunny day, but sunshine is sunshine so I could hardly blame him.
So cucinare, so mantenere perfetta una casa, so fare la spesa in modo oculato, so cucire, so ricamare, so apparecchiare tavola con gusto, so organizzare cene e pranzi, ma cazzo... NON SO STIRARE!!!
I don't think I've ever told this story, but the reason I re-shelled this girl into this particular doll was because I had a dream once that my sister owned her, and I desperately wanted to take her off her hands. I've had a few dreams about owning dolls, but as far as I can remember she's the only one that I've ended up actually purchasing.
RKO_5493. Early morning meeting with a beautiful Kgalagadi Queen! She kept calling for her cubs who had been killed the other day by a male lion (that is at least what they told us)! So sad to see and hear this lion in search for her cubs!

Hey Pomj, with who you made those?!? Here public-ally I state those are not mine... that I have been always using good quality... 'protections' so you can't blame me!
:D
"My husband is the mayor of a booming metropolis and is always away on business, my two sons are spoiled, arrogant brats, I have had more "plastic" surgery than Melissa Rivers, my kitchen is kept spotless but nobody cares, and I do the dishes, every damned day. If this is the American Dream, wake me up!" says Cindy

I was looking through Suburbia, by Bill Owens and felt inspired to put my own spin on the subject. This particular photo is my modern slash retro take on one of Owen's photos. This one to be precise.
And if you've never heard of Bill Owens, you can check out his website or go to your local library and check out some of his photo books. ;)
