This week's theme: When I was a child .. I used to play hopscotch drawing the court with a white chalk on pavement.
This is a miniature. I drew with chalk a hopscotch court (20x50cm) on a black slate tile (30x60cm).
HMM to everyone, my FlickrFriends! :)
Continuing my review of the loveliest stuff of 2016, here’s the cute romper suit from !gO! that came out in the summer and is still available at their mainstore. I’ve paired it with some equally lovely (and equally pink!) new stuff, the combined hair and woolly hat from no.match available at Hairology, and the stylish footwear from fri.day, available now at Collabor88. The photo was taken at one of my favourite locations of 2016 (and 2015 and 2014 come to that), Skye Neist Point.
Maquoit Bay, Maine
Every once in awhile a commercial fishing boat dumps excess fish into the bay...a smelly and wasteful practice. The seagulls have been hovering and screeching for days...nature's cleaners.
This was my entry for the Dolly Re:Mix contest ( round 6 ) and the theme was " Antique ". I edited the photo again so it's slightly different from the photo submitted for the contest.
It was a difficult theme. I didn't know how this 'hopscotch' idea came to my mind, it just 'appeared'. But I was worried it didn't fit the theme. However, it seemed hopscotch had been around since the year 1677 so I thought this can be considered 'antique'.
Evening colors reflect in the waters near Baddeck, NS. Subtle in hue, they appear to play with the ideally placed rocks.
“But what is memory if not the language of feeling, a dictionary of faces and days and smells which repeat themselves like the verbs and adjectives in a speech, sneaking in behind the thing itself, into the pure present, making us sad or teaching us vicariously...”

Showing off only one of its two, this Greater Yellowlegs hopped on one foot from one side of the mudflat to the other on Horsepen Bayou.
La rayuela se juega con una piedrita que hay que empujar con la punta del zapato. Ingredientes: una acera, una piedrita, un zapato, y un bello dibujo con tiza, preferentemente de colores. En lo alto está el Cielo, abajo está la Tierra, es muy difícil llegar con la piedrita al Cielo, casi siempre se calcula mal y la piedra sale del dibujo. Poco a poco, sin embargo, se va adquiriendo la habilidad necesaria para salvar las diferentes casillas (rayuela caracol, rayuela rectangular, rayuela de fantasía, poco usada) y un día se aprende a salir de la Tierra y remontar la piedrita hasta el Cielo, hasta entrar en el Cielo.
Lo malo es que justamente a esa altura, cuando casi nadie ha aprendido a remontar la piedrita hasta el Cielo, se acaba de golpe la infancia y se cae en las novelas, en la angustia al divino cohete, en la especulación de otro Cielo al que también hay que aprender a llegar. Y porque se ha salido de la infancia se olvida que para llegar al Cielo se necesitan, como ingredientes, una piedrita y la punta de un zapato.

Abe displays perfect form on his homemade and slightly askew Hopscotch board. He nailed the landing in case you were wondering.
Went out to Point Reyes National Seashore for the sunrise yesterday, and while I didn't get any of the pelican shots that I planned the trip for (can you believe those birds didn't do exactly what I wanted them to - lol), I did get to spend some time with a big group of sanderlings (Calidris alba) - I think, correct me if I'm wrong. Much to my delight when I got back, I found this little guy completely off the ground in this frame as he hopped into the group on one foot.
