These crawlers i no nothing about, other than they were for sale at either Ruddington or Burtonwood M.O.S. disposal auctions sometime between late 1950's to mid 60's
This here be the boy who didn't have a single accident at preschool this morning. Go Noodle, go! Or I guess I should say, hold it in Noodle, hold it in!
One of my favorites from a much needed practice session yesterday. I had her wear my iPod and headphones while the singing/song stylings of Mr. Tom Waits lulled her into the groove.

(Feb. 18, 2009: It's not at all surprising to me that the most viewed picture on my photostream isn't one that I took, but instead one by some unknown photographer of a hundred years ago. For as long as I can remember, I've known that this was a compelling image.)
Me, me, me!
I've been tagged! This photo restoration is as good an occasion as any for my listing 16 things about me. I'm given to understand that I could probably get away with "9 for '09" but my friend yourwillingskin (AKA Northstar) wanted 16, so here goes:
1. I am the only son of an only son of an only son. In connection with this, the man in the centre of the picture is Joseph Reid, a schooner captain and my great grandfather. The little boy tucked into his arm is Eldred Reid, my grandfather.
2. I lived in the house in the picture for two years in the early 70s, when I was around four or five years old. I also spent many months and weeks during the summers of my childhood with my grandparents in Heart's Delight. Much time was spent catching frogs and crabs, as well as drawing comic books in scrap books. In my memories and imagination, the town of Heart's Delight will always have an association with sunshine and an easy state of being.
3. Although I've spent a lot of time trying to figure it out, I have no firsthand idea of how non-creative people can put up with their own company.
4. I don't count myself as having produced anything of any real merit for more than six years, since I moved out of a place I was renting as a painting studio on my 34th birthday. Subsequently, I sometimes have trouble putting up with my own company.
5. I sing. Nothing all the way through, of course. Just bits and pieces of songs. I got in quite a bit of practice while I was alone in my painting studio. Some people are gracious enough to tell me that I'm half-decent.
6. Or maybe it's impressions of singers that I do. Anything from the plaintive rant of Roger Waters of Pink Floyd to the plaintive swoon of Fran Healy of Travis. Sometimes I even do Elvis Presley.
7. For 15 years of my life I wanted to be a comic book artist. I was a teenager at just the right time to see Frank Miller and Alan Moore start to do their stuff. Although I got bored of comics when I was 17, the ambition continued until I was 22, when I decided I wanted to paint instead.
8. Watchmen, which was first published during my first year of university, was the last comic that I bought regularly. Alan Moore really had the golden touch.
9. My childhood was ruled by a boundlessly expansive imagination. The things that caught my attention -- comic books, chapter books, drawing, and later pop music -- seemed more wonderful than I will ever be able to express. Pretty girls should be listed there too. Pretty girls really had me in a bad way.
10. Off the top of my head, my favorite movies this past year were Superbad and... wait a bit, I'll get back to you.
11. Off the top of my head, my favourite music this past year was Bon Iver. (I enjoy mimicing Justin Vernon's falsetto, too.)
12. Way out ahead of the pack, my favourite author is Kurt Vonnegut. He offers me complicency, I guess, just as any friend would. I've also been deeply moved by the writings John Steinbeck. Saroyan has brought me to tears, but that was years ago. The best I read this past year was Cormac McCarthy.
13. Fortunately for me, I can't play first-person shooters. They all give me a terrible headache. Unfortunately for me, if I actually can see an avatar on the screen, then I can play computer games without getting a headache for quite a while. But I don't bother with them very much.
14. I work as a graphic designer at a small town printer's. I've known since the mid-90s that I found graphic design to be truly soul-sucking work. Maybe if my life hadn't had certain difficulties, I would have been able to work my way into an interesting graphic designer postion, like, say, art director for an interesting magazine.
15. When I wasn't painting or graphic designing during the past decade, I was driving ambulances, pumping gas, or working as a clerk. Like I say, if my life hadn't had certain difficulties...
16. If you've reached Number 16, then you're probably a friend of mine.
One of the kayak seats was filled with frozen water, it wasn't as warm as this picture would make it seem...however, it was so peaceful and serene.
Hope each and every one of you has enjoyed or is about to enjoy a wonderful, Thanksgiving dinner! For those of you who don't really celebrate, I hope you've had a relaxing day, with perhaps time to think about all the reasons why we are all so lucky.
I believe this tropical plant is Tillandsia, Pink Quill, a Bromeliad. Photographed in the ENMAX Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo on October 11th. Usually when I see these, they are half hidden behind other tropical leaves, so I was lucky to get a clear shot this time.

This quiet seaside town once housed a cutting-edge motor racing workshop which was frequented by a young Australian who lodged in nearby Telscombe Village. His name was Jack Brabham and he went on to become Formula One World Drivers Champion 1959, 1960 and 1966.

I didn't do a great job with the photo but the garage has long gone, the ground level looks like it's been raised a metre (very odd) and there are retirement flats on the site so no hope of getting the angle just-so. Also, I'm not very good at these things!
This little homestead barely stands out because the house is so small it looks more like a shed! Someone told me that the Swedish who settled this area painted their homes red so I'm guessing this may be one of those. Can you imagine living here in winter?
It always cracked me up how the cover story on Men's Health magazine is always 'How to get flat abs!' or 'How to keep flat abs!' or what have you.
Today at the grocery store, I saw 'Women's Health.' On the cover? How to get flat abs.
Nice.
One of the three statues on plinths in Trafalgar Square. This one is Major General Sir Henry Havelock. It is in the south east of the square.
The statue of King George IV is behind this one to the north east.

114 Pictures in 2014 #100 - One Hundred Steps From Your Front Door
So, 100 steps from my front door barely gets me out of my driveway and certainly doesn't get me off of my property! But I wandered down the road, maybe a touch more than 100 steps, but certainly less than 150, and admired the cottonwoods lining the road in their full autumn glory. I also noticed the last quarter moon, positioning itself so nicely beyond the golden branches. So, 100 steps became an image of the waning quarter moon and the autumn cottonwoods.
As this grizzly moves along in the afternoon sun he's all business, it was time to take him very seriously and give him plenty of room!

One of the most mystifying patterns I've ever seen on any animal.
This is my pet cat, whose name is Calli, 'cuz she's a calico. I never noticed this pattern (at least not from this angle) until 6 years after we first adopted her.
The pattern looks like a black cat arching its back under a full moon... Of course, the moon definitely isn't white, but dang, it's darn close!
Spooky, isn't it?
In Ripley's Believe It or Not! book, there is a photo of a calico with markings that actually look like "CAT"!
One woman was particularly crafty and made a visor from some yellow notepad paper and a vitamin water label!
