Felicitations for Freedom Friday, Fellow Flickrers (Flickrrs?)!
Here, in addition to some odd lightleaks? flares? and a heaping serving of grain, we have a picture of... nothing?
Enjoy the weekend, folks.

Freedom Friday means never having to say you're sorry. There was a really interesting BBQ food truck here, but it was too far away, and I had my infant daughter with me, so I couldn't go running across the street. In any case, I happened to time it so that the guy on the bike is in front of the food truck, so you can't see it anyhow. Basically, a whole lot of negative space here and not much there there.
It's really just a coincidence that I've only been posting on Freedom/Failure Fridays lately (that's just how my schedule has been working out), but I suppose it unintentionally says something about my output. I've just been really busy, folks! My Rolleicord is on its way back from repair, and I also picked up a Seagull folder (which I haven't had a chance to try out), so I hope to do some new work soonish.
Congratulations to Brenda Midolo for joining our Meme Hall of Fame! Her Fun Friday caption of "Can I get a cheeseburger, fries, and small coke? How much doe do I owe ?" got the most Facebook votes! 3-13-15

For today's Fun Friday shot I thought I'd showcase this little droid who hangs out underneath the Star Tours queue at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Not a terribly glamorous or interesting shot, but still fun and a perfect post for today.
I tried to see if I could find a proper name for this guy, but he appears to be 'imagineered' for the attraction with the body of a R2-A6 and the head of a... I don't know what...
As for the Star Tours update, even despite my disdain for Episodes I - III I really like what imagineers have done with attraction. The variety Star Tours now offers keeps it from being a "oh, I've already done that" type of ride for guests. Not to mention Star Wars fans like myself can ride multiple times never quite sure what we'll encounter.
Granted, both times I rode Star Tours this past trip we ended up at Naboo & the Gungin City - but I did get to hit up some classic locals such as Hoth along the way. I did certainly appreciate the homage C3PO gives to the original attraction with his frantic, "Brakes!?!?! Brakes!?!? Where are the brakes!?!?!?" cries.
Alright R2, Lightspeed to the weekend.
Have a good one everybody & may the force be with you.

The sun finally came out in the afternoon, and I was able to get the dog and the kids together at the same time so we
did a little (Dog Whispering) at the beach.
My little girl was laughing hard at our un-sure about the sea and not so Little Blue! (LOL) Fun
Kids enjoy free Fun Fridays activity with Barney at East Midlands Designer Outlet during half term in August 2010.
