© VW Selburn All rights reserved : Explored - best position at 342 on 10 June 2009. (175 on 15 October 2009) This superb specimen of clematis was in my neighbour's garden in a pot. It was so beautiful I just had to get my camera out!
'Cos everywhere I go
There's a love song that reminds me of you
And even though I knew I had to be strong
I was still not over you
'Cos I still believe and I could see how there's nothing left of you and me
That time is over
'Cos I'm so not over you

The Norber Boulders are in the Yorkshire Dales, hundreds of huge rock monoliths cover the area. But they do not belong here, they are erratics (from another place) left here by the glacier which filled the valley. Today they are found perched on the softer weathered and eroded pedestals of limestone. The erratics now provide some protection to the limestone pedestals but you can see how much the ground surface has eroded in 12000 years!
One of the best experiences of my long weekend at KOS was the American Pipits in Simpson County. A group of around 6 foraged in a small mudflat, and some were in breeding plumage (unlike this one) with their orange backs and gray stomachs. They were singing too, which was a new experience for me.
i just can't get enough of these wednesdays.
now someone send me TO BED!
nighty, night.
HBW again!!

Launch of Jupiter-C/Explorer 1 at Cape Canaveral, Florida on January 31, 1958. After the Russian Sputnik was launched in October 1957, the launching of an American satellite assumed much greater importance. When the Vanguard rocket exploded on the pad in December 1957, the ability to orbit a satellite became a matter of national prestige. The ABMA (Army Ballistic Missile Agency) at Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, Alabama, in cooperation with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, launched a Jupiter rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The rocket consisted of a modified version of the Redstone rocket's first stage and two upper stages of clustered Baby Sergeant rockets developed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

This was the last image Mike Parker (MountainStatesPowerCo. here) uploaded to the Insulator Collectors On the Net photo gallery - a few weeks before he passed away in February 2012.
He pointed out that this was an older Tillamook People's Utility District pole that was about to be changed out along with its rusty old coop-style double-hanger transformer.
Anyway, rest in peace, fellow line geek. I'll always cherish all the SWAGs, WAGs, and discussion of the history of the electric utility industry - MSP, PP&L, NSP, OTP, MDU, etc... hope our paths cross again someday, my friend.

ABOUT:
A comparison between the legendary Galaxy Explorer and the Galaxy Dropship. The Dropships cargo area is bigger and may hold the space buggy from the other alternate build of this set proposal. But it also may carry other vehicles (from its own build scenario) like the science lab pictured here or the truck or the trailer with or without tanks...
Take a look at the 3 updates I have made at LegoIdeas for more info. Thx.
I deleted the previous one because it's not really good but I made it as my buddy icon.
Eeek. I forgot whose birthday is today. Is it yours? :P

Estes lindos tufinhos brancos são na verdade cerdas ocas e brancas , que possuem venenos e são usadas em defesa do animal!
Mas que são lindas (as cerdas brancas) são não é?

EXPLORE 6.28.10 ~thank you!! From a recent session. This sweet one made me work for smiles, but I love these contemplative looks all the same, sometimes even more....
A dramatic pose by quite a few cosplayers at the GA Aquarium. I got smart this time and brought my tripod and remote trigger do that I could take good (or better!) shots in the ambient light - without a flash - and no blurriness. Go me!!!
Tech stuff: used Topaz Adjust's "Dark - Ghostly" filter on a copied layer of the image then very slowly and carefully erased the filter (29% opacity and flow) from that layer with a "water brush" (PS brush that simulated water such as waves) until I got the effect I wanted with a bit of a watery vibe to the photo.
Comments? Critiques? You want to have my babies? C'mon, give me something to work with here, people! ;->
EDIT: This pic made it on to Flickr's Explore page for 09.11.2013!!!! KEEN!!! Thanks for the kudos, Flickr! "Hi!" if you're visiting my photos because of this. :-D
