Glad we didn’t take our chances with that Tapas restaurant below... Yelp had some unflattering reviews, which seems odd given the locale and simplicity of the Spanish theme of combining appetizers to make a full meal of it. One review gave Cister Catorce 1 star, stating "The personnel clearly shows the unwillingness of serving with pleasure. The taste of the tapas is below regional average unfortunately".
It was relatively late in life when I discovered the gastronomic wonders of tapas. What a concept - especially the patatas bravas!
I can't help but laugh laugh laugh every time I see this picture. I gave ToeEater a bath yesterday and could not resist snapping a few pictures of her. It's so funny how every time I turn on the water she rushes over and tries to climb into the tub. This time the joke was on her. As soon as I put her in, she gave me those little puppy dog eyes and I could feel her trying to make me feel bad. Too bad, she got a bath anyway...
She's all nice and fluffy now. Not to mention she smelled like raspberries for a good 15minutes.

Dear World,
Run for help when you cut your finger, get help, cut your finger again. I think coincidence is not the problem, but the time has come to check some other areas for problems.

Heavy trains need a lot of help in their assault of Mullan Pass on the Montana Rail Link. This loaded coal train is no exception, as a 4-pack of MRL SD70ACe's serve as mid-train helpers to help climb the 2.2% westbound grade to the summit.

Daily Dog Challenge 2719. "Pet Owner's Independence Day"
The boys offered to help me fold the towels.
You'd think I'd learn.

We just cam home with this little guy. He is an American/Boxer Bulldog mix. He is 6 weeks old and knows no fear.
I think that I like Kilter but we haven't committed to anything yet.
The San Francisco Pride parade is a world-renowned LGBT pride parade. It is held on Sunday morning of the Festival. The route is usually along San Francisco's Market Street, from Beale Street to 8th Street.[1] The parade starts nominally at 10:30 am, though it is hours before all the contingents are able to get onto the parade route, and the last contingent doesn't leave the parade route until 2-4 pm.
The parade consists of hundreds of contingents from various groups and organizations. Some of the more well-known contingents are:
Women's Motorcycle Contingent, also known as Dykes On Bikes.[2] Several hundred motorcycle riders, all women. Some of the women are topless, some wear leather or fanciful costumes. The sound of hundreds of motorcycle engines gives this contingent a big impact. Part of the reason they are first in the parade is that it's difficult for motorcycles to run reliably at the walking pace of the rest of the parade, so as the first contingent they can move faster. On November 13, 2006, they won a battle to trademark the name "Dykes on Bikes", having struggled since 2003 to persuade the United States Patent and Trademark Office that "dyke" was not an offensive word.[3][4]
PFLAG, or Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays. Usually one of the largest contingents, featuring several hundred people. These are typically the (straight) parents or family members of LGBT people, sometimes marching together with their LGBT relatives. Many carry signs indicating where their PFLAG chapter comes from. It's common to see signs from all over Northern California. This contingent is notable for the swell in cheers (and some tears) that follow it along the route.
Politicians frequently participate in the parade, as a way of making themselves visible to LGBT prospective voters.
Churches of many denominations, or religious-oriented LGBT groups, contribute several dozen contingents.
Dance clubs and LGBT-oriented entertainment businesses contribute several contingents. It's common for a dance club to decorate a flat-bed truck or float, and have several people dancing on it, along with loud dance music.
The Leather Contingent consists of lesbian, gay and pansexual leather and BDSM groups.
Groups which are anti-gay typically do not have contingents. During the 1990s it was common to see anti-gay protestors in the spectator area along the parade route, holding large signs condemning homosexuality, often with biblical passages. In the 2000s such protestors have become less common.
Hundreds of thousands of spectators, if not over a million, line the parade route along Market Street. Some arrive hours in advance to claim a prime spot on the curb with a clear view of the street. Others climb onto bus shelters, the walls of subway station stairs, or scaffolding on buildings to get a clear view. As the parade ends, the spectators are able to pass through the barriers and march down Market street behind the parade. The end of the parade route is near the Festival location at the Civic Center.
The squirrels are constantly amusing. This one was on top of the suet cage, bottom left, reaching into this feeder with a front paw to get the seeds. Then he decided to hop into the feeder. He had his front feet on the edge but the feeder swung back and forth so much he couldn't get his back legs up and ended up falling on the ground. It didn't seem to faze him; he got up and scampered away.

The power we have to help ourselves is immeasurable... it's simply a matter of allowing our hands to work their magic.
Union Pacific C30-7 No. 2425 was assigned as a rear helper for the PVSC train, departing Provo Yard for the grades up to Point of the Mountain, and down to Salt Lake City Utah on Sept. 23, 1979. Not at all sure why there were two cabooses. I'm not complaining, though.
A pair of EMD SD40E's lead a pair of brand new SD70ACE's(1003, 1002) downgrade through slope on a loaded coal train that will enter rose yard to cut the helpers off and await a recrew to take it east.
Soo U30C 803 is in Helper service shoving a train up Byron Hill. Here it is approaching Byron WI. ready to cut off on the fly. May 1979.
Rio Grande had a penchant for accurately naming locations along the railroad. One such place was Helper, UT. Rio Grande added helpers to heavy westbound trains for the climb to Soldier Summit. 5345 and two sisters have just been added to a heavy MNYRO and will be headed west soon.
Whilst i was taking this shot there were creepy groaning noises from the corridor at the top of the stairs which helped the mood no end.I went up ready to see what was making the noise when a rush of wind coursed through the corridor and I realised it was just the breeze groaning through the grates over the windows.
I shared a shot of the three at work a couple of days ago. This was the return trip, as they drift down Steelton Hill and back to Pokegema to wait for their next trip up the hill.
In October of 1999 Rio Grande 5411 sits at the east end of the Helper engine house with a complete set of lights including a rotating beacon up top. I so wish I could still see this.
Outbound Keolis/MBTA train 403 cruises west headed to Wachusett from North Station as they pass through HILLS interlocking on Main 1 at MP 17.7 on the Fitchburg Line. This location is just west of the Lincoln station on this once important Boston and Maine freight route that now sees only commuter trains. F40PH-3C 1025 is passing GP40MC 1137 that is marooned on the set out spur. It suffered a traction motors fire the prior day and are awaiting the wreck crew to arrive with the crane and an idler axle so the offending wheel set can be removed and the it can be safely towed back to BET for evaluation and repair.

"the help" .... ... yesterday Baby Jesus was born, for those who are Christians this represents an immense act of God's love for his children ... and it is to that God-Man that we often resort to asking for help .... who among us ... has never needed help ...?! .....
I photographed people I had never met before, I thank them for their sympathy and availability: I met Antonio and his girlfriend, who came to Taormina to spend the last day together, the next day Antonio will leave to go very far, unfortunately leaving his beloved, to see her again who knows when ... I met the Japanese companion of my dear friend Cesare, who flew to the sky many years ago, I knew about his companion, but I had never met her before ... I photographed a sweet Chinese girl that I met on three different occasions, each time with a little more confidence….
these are just a few minimal photographic stories, collected walking down the street ... in search of fleeting moments ...
For some photographs I used a particular photographic technique at the time of shooting, which in addition to capturing the surrounding space, also "inserted" a temporal dimension, with photos characterized by being moved (confused-blurred-imprecise-undecided) ... the Anglo-Saxon term that encloses this photographic genre with a single word is "blur", these images were thus made during the shooting phase, deliberately lengthening the exposure times, and not as an effect created later, in retrospect, in the post phase -production.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"the help"...."l'aiuto" ...ieri è nato Gesù Bambino, per chi è cristiano questo rappresenta un atto d’amore immenso di Dio per i suoi figli...ed è a quel Dio-Uomo che spesso ricorriamo chiedendo aiuto.... chi tra noi...non ha mai avuto bisogno di aiuto...?!.....
ho fotografato persone che non avevo mai incontrato prima, le ringrazio per la loro simpatia e disponibilità: ho incontrato Antonio e la sua ragazza, venuti a Taormina per trascorrere l'ultimo giorno insieme, il giorno successivo Antonio partirà per andare molto lontano, lasciando purtroppo la sua amata, per rivederla poi chissà quando….Ho conosciuto la compagna Giapponese del mio carissimo amico Cesare, volato in cielo tanti anni fa, sapevo di questa sua compagna, ma non l’avevo mai conosciuta prima…Ho fotografato una dolce ragazza Cinese che ho incontrato in tre occasioni diverse, ogni volta con un pizzico di confidenza in più….
sono queste solo alcune storie fotografiche minime, raccolte camminando per la strada ... alla ricerca di attimi fugaci s-fuggenti ...
Ho utilizzato per alcune fotografie una tecnica fotografica particolare al momento dello scatto, che oltre a catturare lo spazio circostante, ha "inserito" anche una dimensione temporale, con foto caratterizzate dall’essere mosse (confuse-sfocate-imprecise-indecise)...il termine anglosassone che racchiude con una sola parola questo genere fotografico è "blur", queste immagni sono state così realizzate in fase di scatto, allungando volutamente i tempi di esposizione, e non come un effetto creato successivamente, a posteriori, in fase di post-produzione.

This dove perched for a while in this shrub in an abandoned garden at Tagrin, Lungi. I couldn't help that it looked seasonal!
I just moved into a new apartment. Not the one pictured, but one with a lot of white walls, and a policy that doesn't allow pets! How am I suppose to fulfill my destiny of being a crazy cat man?
Lately I have been feeling trapped, or restricted by the walls I put up. When I feel this way I have to remind myself that I can change the way I think. I can be hopeful, and determined. Rather than pitiful, and gloomy, which leads to stress eating chocolate bars! I've learned that whatever it is I may be struggling with, to not be afraid to call for help.

Heaven Help Me
Rob Thomas
In the evening when the stars shine down
All the bridge and tunnel girls come out
We can dance until the walls fall down
Cause tonight we own this town
But in the morning when the sun's on fire
I'm burning through you like a razor wire
When we see ourselves in passing windows
We feel like hell, everyone knows
You can't go back, heaven help me
We've gone too far, when we can't be
The ones we want
This is who we are, who we are
A shot of neon in a window pane
A shot of whiskey and we end again
You're moving further but you just can't win
And that's the way it's always been
You don't wanna let your life go by
So you give until the well runs dry
But when you lose your faith it never comes back
And time don't wait, now you know that
You can't go back, heaven help me
We've gone too far, when we can't be
The ones we want
This is who we are, who we are
Last evening light on the Helper.
Enjoy..
More and other work of me.
