Crazy Tuesday contribution "Favorite Song"
"Waldeinsamkeit" is a beautiful german poem by Joseph von Eichendorff (1788-1857). The composer Max Reger (1873-1916) created a song ("kunstlied") based on this poem:

Lit with two stripboxes on either side of the soil. the bulbs are plugged in with wireing through the back.. If you look close you can see a small hole on the righthand bulb where I accidently crossed the wires, had to find the breaker box for that one ;).

Have not seriously sketched in several days....wow, one can lose ability to make an ellipse so easily! I was sooo shaky on these, but it was good practice, and maybe I can get my head back to sketching and off of facebook. Facebook is driving me nuts!
Much like the rest of life, everyone along the lakes seems to have their own favorite of the many lake freighters that visit over the course of the season. While some are fans of the deep bark of the James R Barker, or the history behind something like the Arthur M Anderson, I think it’s the more mundane freighters like the American Century that leave a larger impact among it’s fans. Given that she’s not the biggest of the freighters nor the oldest, the ones who feel a connection to this proud laker can at least take pride in the fact their boat plays a quiet yet important role in moving cargo across the Great Lakes seaway system.
This was one of my top favorites outta about 100 images this day! Please click for larger viewing...this one is my new screen saver...it sure looks nice large! Well back to work tomorrow...and then Thursday night we're in for a big bomb of a snow storm with very, very low temps...sigh!! Driving in blizzards, in the dark...I'm sooooooooo done with winter! lol :)
A gorgeous, but short-blooming perennial favorite! These shrubs were planted in 2009 and have reliably come up every spring.
just what a girl needs on valentines day: a new load of fantastic favorites by you wonderfully splendid people...!!
This is one of my favorite ornaments. Another favorite ornament is helping with the bokeh in the background.
"Squeeze your eyes closed, as tight as you can, and think of all your favorite autumns, crisp and perfect, all bound up together like a stack of cards. That is what it is like, the awful, wonderful brightness of Fairy colors. Try to smell the hard, pale wood sending up sharp, green smoke into the afternoon. To feel the mellow, golden sun on your skin, more gentle and cozier and more golden than even the light of your favorite reading nook at the close of the day.”

My Top 10 Favorite Movies at the moment to be exact. If you have followed me for a while, you might remember this: www.flickr.com/photos/99717434@N04/12554370323/
As you can see, quite a lot has changed since then, and movies that were in the top 5 were moved and or removed completely. This is due to me either having a change in taste or me simply seeing new movies since that photo.
These ranks are based on how much I enjoy the movie and how much I have watched each film. AND REMEMBER. These are my FAVORITE FILMS, not the best films ever made. These are just movies that I really enjoy.
I'll be going from Right to Left, starting with....
10. Watchmen: This movie gets a lot of hate, but I love it. Jackie Earl Haley is fantastic as Rorschach, Jeffery Dean Morgan is always a pleasure to see, and the whole film just looks great. Synder may not nail stories, but he can damn sure well make a movie look good. Also a huge fan of the soundtrack. This was moved from the top 5 for two reasons. I've watched some of these others movies a lot more since then, and I liked the other movies better than it, but it still holds a place on my top 10.
9. Guardians of The Galaxy: A surprise for me, this movie shocked me with how much I enjoyed it. Casting is great, movie looks great, but the main reason I love it so much is the soundtrack using the 70's music. Hence this, that's why it is only number 9.
8. The Big Lebowski: I've only seen it twice, but I love this movie so much. It's so damn quotable. Casting and acting in this is perfect. It's also pretty damn funny.
7. Django Unchained: Love Tarantino films. For many of the same reasons of Lebowski, the casting and acting is perfect, it has it's funny moments, it has its offensive moments, and it has its action moments. Just a really enjoyable and entertaining as hell film. It beats Lebowski only by a little, simply because I have watched it more than Lebowski.
6. The Dark Knight: While Bale is my least favorite Batman, Heath Ledger's Joker is what puts this movie on the list. Also love Gary Oldman and Aaron Eckhart in it. Just a fantastically shot, written, scored, and acted movie.
5. The Shawshank Redemption: Ironically, my 5th spot is the movie that I have seen the least on this list, only seeing it once all the way through, and then parts of it for all other viewings. But that's all it needed. This film is just fantastic. Just a great story of triumph and patience.
4. Ghostbusters (1984): It hurts me to have to put the year of the film considering that the trash heap coming out Friday shares the same name. I feel I don't talk about the og Ghostbusters enough, but I love it. You can't go wrong with Bill Murray, and the special effects and writing is great. Over the years as I have grown older and re watched it, I have really come to appreciate it more. And no, I will not be seeing the new "Ghostbusters".
3. Zootopia: If you haven't noticed, I've kind of gotten pulled in by this movie, and I don't really know why. On this list, it is my 3rd most watched, hence it being at 3. I've watched this movie maybe 7 or 8 times all the way through, and then a ton more times to just watch scenes. I'm not even a huge Disney fan, but this movie really hit me. The characters are so likable, the voice acting is on point, the animation is impressive and visually stunning. It also has some kickass references to the Godfather and Breaking Bad. Also, JK Simmons is in it. Can't go wrong with JK Simmons. I've been "made fun of" for liking this movie, and some of the "bullies" (for lack of a better word) have now bitten there tongue as they have seen the movie to, and took back the hate.
2. The Dark Knight Returns: Weird that my 2 and 3 spots are both animated films. Also funny that I have made a whole series of custom figures from each film at 2 and 3. I am considering Part 1 and 2 as one film, although each parts could easily count as there own movies. It's my favorite Batman story, and I love watching this movie. It may be animated, but it is not for kids. Peter Weller did great as Batman, and I also really liked Michael Emerson's Joker. Just an entertaining move that I have watched to many times to count.
1. Jaws: This will always be my #1 favorite film. I doubt it will ever change. I adore this film. Perfect casting, score, effects, writing, and direction. This movie is famously known for being a pain in the ass to make, and it was a better movie for it. People say "the shark looks fake", but I personally think it looks fine. For being made in the 70's, it's damn good. I grew up with this movie, and watched it over and over as a child. I even had it on VHS and had to rewind it over and over before I finally got it on DVD when I got older. The only part that bothered me was the part where Hooper goes into the shark cage. Hell, I wasn't even bothered at the part where the Ben Garner's dead corpse comes out of the side of the boat when Hooper is night diving. Despite this being my favorite film, I have still not made customs of the 3 main protagonist, but that might change soon. I cherish this film as one of my childhood favorites, and as I grew up watching it again, I came to appreciate and love it even more.
Also, here are some honorable mentions: Star Wars ESB, Transformers (2007), Ironman, Smokey and The Bandit, Back To The Future, and The Love Bug.
What do you think? What do you think of my personal favorite films? I know it's long, but it took time to write, so some feedback to what I have written would be greatly appreciated.
"I'm Your Favorite Drug"
www.youtube.com/watch?v=dObYINE-WVY
What you get is what you see
It won't take much to get hooked on me
So shoot me right into your skin
And I will be your heroin
The side effects are sexual
Are you dying for a taste?
The side effects are sexual
And you love the way I say
I'm your favorite drug
Your favorite drug
Just one hit is never enough
I'm your favorite drug
Your favorite drug
You break this addiction, no
Your favorite drug
I'll put my nails into your back
Yeah, you'll feel me like a spinal tap
You want it from me on both knees
But not until you beg me, please
The side effects are sexual
Are you dying for a taste?
The side effects are sexual
And you love the way I say
I'm your favorite drug
Your favorite drug
Just one hit is never enough
I'm your favorite drug
Your favorite drug
You can't break this addiction, no
Your favorite drug
I'm your pleasure
In your pain
I'll numb your fear just like cocaine
I'm your treasure
Say my name
I'm your favorite drug
Your favorite drug
Just one hit is never enough
I'm your favorite drug
Your favorite drug
You can't break this addiction, no
Your favorite drug, favorite drug
Your favorite drug
We have had some cold and then snowy weather lately so no new bird photos to share but here are some of my favorites from a while ago. Soon I will get out again to shoot these wonderful creatures.
. . . This is one of my favorite curvy roads to drive, and to find great colors close to my cabin. Location: It is on Wood Road, just west of US 131, and about 5 miles north of Kalkaska.
Have a great weekend Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
I've never done a page about ME before...it's kind of nice. I'm not sure how much I like it though....isn't that always how it is though...you can't stand pictures of yourself....or talking about yourself. Anyway...
The haze was actually smoke from controlled brush fires the Park Rangers were monitoring to avoid potential, real fires.
From now on I'll be posting about people on flickr you just can't miss and must MUST visit their photostreams. These are people who inspire me and basically leave me spellbound with their work. I'll be doing this every now and then focusing on one person at a time.
The fourteenth person I am posting about is the phenomenal, Heather. She has a remarkable photostream that never ceases to to amaze me. Her style is captivating and her photographs are stunning. I truly envy how skilled she is. A very skilled woman to say the least. There just aren't enough words to describe how much I love her art. I dont know what more I could say but this, you must MUST visit her photostream! :D
1. she didn't need a man..., 2. the family, 3. the time chasers, 4. paperback writer , 5. Norwegian Wood (this bird has flown), 6. wedding day, 7. she wore a gardenia, 8. drifting, 9. me & the music

Chives really is a nice herb: Tasty, healthful and with its purple blossoms supremely decorative. The bigger brother of this small kitchen herb however is a real eye-catcher.
Don´t you think so?
I got this gorgeous bunch from my friend this weekend and I´m so happy about my Giant Onion.

Iris was along again on Sunday when we did catch the L517. She is still at the age where she'll go with dad if there is enough to see along the way besides trains. She was impressed to see a train here, her big take-aways "the conductor waved to us from up on the bridge!" and "that Tropicane (sic) car was my favorite, did you get a picture of it?" I did. The cars look particularly N-scale from ground level. A great weekend of memories I'll treasure especially if her interest in adventures with dad wanes in the future.
