Just got a Japanese Traditional Patchwork book. This is my first block. I don't know why they call it "friend's trail", maybe someone knows this?
Before our hastily-arranged two days trip to New York last winter, I asked a friend about the traffic and where to park. He opened Google Maps and pin-pointed all the cheeky little spaces where you park for free (and be assured that your car won't be disappeared when you come back); and then suddenly stopped and said, "Forget the car. You must take the subway to experience the real NYC."
So I did. On the next two cold, rain-drenched days, we left our car on Staten Island and took the ferry and then the subway to explore the city. And as my friend said, it was as if you were experiencing a miniature version of NYC itself inside the rusted, dirty, crowded labyrinth of the subway system. It was a melting pot that didn't melt. A large collection of people of all colors, age and race, coming from all the corners of the world, using all the languages other than may be English.
So if you ever get a chance to visit the exhilarating metropolis, do yourself a favor and take the subway. Take a seat, take off the headphones, look around, and you'll see polished fashionistas riding to work, eleven years old Senegalese immigrant selling gummy bears, six-feet tall homeless man reminding everyone of good karma and asking for help, and someone with a acoustic guitar jumping into the car and start singing Strawberry Fields Forever. You can spot people feeling nonchalant, cordial, somber, delighted, depressed, amused, curious, exhausted, swag, numb, reminiscing, exploring, irritated, forever-alone, suspicious, festive, melodious, and global, like a true New Yorker.
Mad Moxxi & friend were kind enough to pose for me in-between photo shoots.
Tech stuff: Photoshop B&W layer with a slight blue tint and Topaz Adjust's "Charcoal Sketch" filter (40%) on the background to make it look gritty and faded.

Friend, Nebraska's railroad station. Nice that it's not only saved (so many were knocked down), but in pretty good shape from what I can see.
Great new book for 2016!
You know how to tell a great children's book? When you start to read to a little one, and he/ she comes right over and has a seat in your lap to see the pages better. My little 19 month old grandson was very engaged in this tender story. He liked standing tall like a tree as did Dennis in the story!
Very heartwarming read for children. Gets children exploring their creativeness. Teaches them to be courageous and to share their talents with others.
Love the focus on red words and the highlighted red picture lines that show using one's imagination in play!
He is Randall who is one of my old friend.
Today is an unusual day that we are online at the same time.
Thanks for the good time!

Bug climbs away from flower he was just tasting. Can anyone tell me what flower this is? See next photo for a better view of the flower. Thanks! Rosina points out that it's an anemone. Thanks, Rosina! Title changed to reflect that. LARGE
Nikon D70s. 200 macro lens with extension tubes on tripod; natural light from a bright cloudy sky. Same stats on previous photo. I must have forgotten to click the EXIF data box when uploading.
Our "funny" picture in front of the fountain.
Obviously Im not too much into it.
Im all the way at the left end, With a bubble face.
The title is another inside joke, however it is true. I couldn't be surrounded by better people.
Love you!
Found out today, the 24th of December, that John passed away on April 7th, 2016. No one knew... A friend in the US finally tracked down his mother. This is us, in Arlington, TX, in 2012...
This is a scan of a photo that I found today while digging through some legal papers. I took this in '96, a bit more than three years before Paul passed away. Here, he is connected to a dialysis machine. For the last 15 years of his life, he endured three treatments every week, four hours each. Yet, he never once complained. He had more patience and grace than anyone I ever met.
The blue bag on his lap was filled with Dum-Dum suckers, which he shared with everyone at the kidney center, staff and patients alike. Paul was the most unselfish friend I ever had.

This is for MCP Actions 52 week project. The assignment was "Out of the Jewelry Box"; however, my personal jewelry box just doesn't contain much jewelry. I have a thing for watches though. I like them. A lot. Every day my watch is my companion and sometimes I can't determine whether it's my friend or my foe. I'm usually racing the clock, but sometimes it can bring me so much joy. Like yesterday when I got a few extra minutes with my hooligans.
The jury is still out on me but I'm getting closer. I'm not sure who is more sly...me or my friend..but HCS
