Every year on our anniversary, Liz and I have dinner at Rocky Cola Cafe in Uptown Whittier, which was the site of our first date. For our fifth anniversary, I surprised her by getting the same booth we sat at our first time there and popping the proverbial question. And I had a bunch of our friends and family hiding outside to celebrate.

Clemson Interim Head Coach, touches the rock before running the down the hill for the first time during his time at Clemson.
Distant thunder -
Skies still dark and moody -
I've been pushed off the dock into the water -
but John is still on the shore.
Hmm . . . .
Thunder and lightning and me all alone on the water?
The First Time (2012) Full Movie A spark of attraction smolders, then ignites, between two teens (Dylan O'Brien, Britt Robertson) from different high schools who meet by chance at a party.
This car was bought by my papaw (grandpa) in 1971 from Universal Motors in the town of Richmond,VA. They moved to Greeneville, TN in 1973 and the car came along with them. It was used until 1983 where it was parked on the hill behind all trees and the garden. Behind the trailer and sheds and it was forgotten and wasnt touched for nearly 30 years. I honestly had never seen it until papaw told me to look at it the other day he thought I might like it,well I did! I have now been in the process of saving this old car from the sands of time. Its the last Galaxie around from the 70s in my area. Its not lucky enough to be a Camaro or Chevelle its a Galaxie a car that for the most part, Is forgotten. So now I hope to fix the car not restore it and drive it with pride!
Papaw and Mamaw are still alive and well and tell us all stories of the old days in Wise Virginia talking about the moonshine the mining and the music!
Up to Beds! Home Wood - Field Trip - 02/07/14
Hi all
Last night I joined Matt and Trent (Or Lionel, confused.com lol), at Home Wood near Biggelswade in Bedfordshire, hopping Counties for the first time this year (in fact I shall be travelling to Essex tonight, two Counties in as many days).
Conditions were absolutely spot on with dominant cloud cover and a warm sultry temperature we set about our business to cover a nice wide area of the woodland.
But before that we had to do a spot of tractor pulling.. well van, as Trent's van got stuck in the mud (I wonder if that piece of rope ever came off the tow-bar?)
The evening started well with plenty of micros and Geometers turning up first to the sheet.
Then at about 11pm it all went a bit mental really, the traps that we had left wee teeming with moths, you could barely see the trap underneath them, peering into the skinner actinic was like something out of a tropical rainforest catch and inhalation was definitely not a good idea at this point!
I have yet to write the list up as I have spent all morning photographing all of the moths which hasn't been easy with the warm weather and wind.
I think we must be knocking on the door of 200 species of Macro and Micro for the night.
Acleris kochiella, Assara terebrella, Eulamprotes atrella, Acleris holmiana, Hedya ochroleucana, Larch Pug, Mere Wainscot, Olindia schumacherana and Zeiraphera ratzeburgiana were new for me
So here are a few beauties from last night, mainly micros and several were new to me.
I wonder if we get a first for Bedfordshire out of all the things we potted, and the sack load of tubes heading David Manning's way.

finally got my hands on a couple speedlights, and a modest strobist style set up. decided to try out my lack of lighting skills on myself before i ask someone for their time...
strobist: one sb-24 fired into umbrella, camera left. one sb-26 fired camera right.
This was my first time shooting with Suzy and I really liked it. She has a certain grace, sass, and twinkle in her eyes. We had time for a way-too-brief shoot so I hope we cross paths again in the future. My camera would love that!
I took these photos at the 2024 Los Angeles Comic Con - Friday event.
