Have discovered that although I can push myself to take a photo everyday, pushing myself to upload them everyday is far more difficult!
The kitties don't like it when I go outside because they aren't allowed out! Snapped this picture of them looking outside, and got a reflection of myself in the shot. Didn't intend for that, but I like how it turned out. This is rare, because I hate my feet.
I can't believe that we are enjoying sunshine and reasonably high temperatures in April in Scotland! Long may it continue, it's such a spirit lifter! :-)
Apparently somewhat uncommon in NJ, 3 of these grebes were hanging out together with a couple of Horned Grebes and a few ducks in the Lighthouse Marina a few blocks away from Barnegat Lighthouse.
Thanks to a birder met at Barnegat Lighthouse for telling me where to find these - they were right where he said, but I had to be patient while I waited for them to untuck! I got two of them out in this shot, but the third just turned his back on me.
Part of my GBBC weekend for 2014.

Lighthouse Marina, 6th St., Ocean County, New Jersey, US
Film: The Expendables/2
Starring: Jet Li, Jason Statham, Sylvestor Sallone, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, Bruce Willis & Eric Roberts
Song: Lights Out
Artist: Mindless Self Indulgence
Notes:
So when me and my mom went to see The Raven, we saw the trailer for The Expendables 2. I haven't seen the first and Bruce Willis & Jason Statham are the men! lol In my opinion, so after watching this film (1) on Netflix I made a picture! The only thing not part of this picture from the first film is the image of Bruce. Bruce's picture as Church came from the 2nd films' trailer. Bruce is just so bad ass, I don't give a rats ass about Norris!
So what bad ass songs go with these action packed stars? The only thing that came straight to my mind was the group Mindless Self Indulgence & there song Lights Out. The line from their song is titled in my picture.
Susie my daughter-in-law having a go on the demo massage chair in a store.
I had a go too: it was great low down, as in the first pic, but it was quite unpleasant higher up. Quite a shock, as you can see!
NO substitute for the real thing, and as it has digital controls almost certain to go wrong as soon as the warranty runs out.
At least if your masseur dies on the job (so to speak), the money already spent is not wasted.
Pamela and I once shared a very bumpy ride down a mountain in an old jeep. We held on to each other and anything else we could grasp in an effort not to bounce out of the vehicle as we made our way down the slopes of Mount Meru. We were headed into Arusha - a big city for a little girl from the mountain like Pamela. She was on her way to see the doctor. Her grandmother had smartly pinned her medical records to her shirt underneath her sweater so they wouldn't get lost. Hours later, it was discovered that Pamela was too shy to mention those records to the doctor. The doctor was so inapt. that he didn't even examine her well enough to discover the thick envelope of papers protruding from her shirt for himself. It made me kind of furious. Fortunately, the good people at Peace Matunda took Pamela under their wings and made sure she was seen by a more qualified doctor. That was in the summer of 2010.
I spent more than a month with Pamela and the other children from Peace Matunda School and Orphanage. I happened to be there during school holidays, so we were free to run and play and pass the time as we wished. (After chores were done, of course!)
I took long walks with Pamela. Sometimes I could buy her a coca-cola or a bun from the local shop. We once ate lunch together at a restaurant in Arusha. I watched her smile as she got her face painted one afternoon. I watched her shiver as she played in a tiny swimming pool another day. I listened to her sing and watched her dance as she played with the other children. She was a sweetheart - looking for nothing more than love and kindness. And she gave it back tenfold.
I visited her again in 2011 and 2012. She seemed so much stronger and healthier. She appeared more confident in everything she did. She was no long too shy to practice her English with anyone who would give her a chance.
I remember her huge hug when I returned the last time. She was welcoming me home. I felt the love.
It breaks my heart to say that Pamela passed away this weekend. I hope she know how many people in the world loved her and how much she will be missed.
I've been gathering photographs of her from my times in Tanzania. So far I've found more than 50. A good friend of Peace Matunda is creating a memory book in honor of Pamela. I hope that some of my photographs will remind people what a beautiful person she was.
Working on a painting that was triggered by the picture industrial fence by Barb.
I love that picture. Hopefully the painting will turn out okay as well.

The client wished to build a world-class waterpark, with bathers jumping out of a 747 plane via water slides. Due to safety concerns and unusual format, all workmanship had to be top quality in products and practices, including full 3D CADMEP production before construction began. The full-size 747 is supported on stairway gantry for access. Excitement centers on the Wave Pool, Leisure Pool, Spa, Wet Deck Play area and Spray Deck with replica Space Shuttle, and four slides housed in a full sized 747 Plane. All areas were expertly crafted for safety, pumping a total 12,000GPM. The structure was nestled into a Vineyard next door to a Museum Complex, surrounded with forested and agricultural land.
As soon as light came up this morning, there were a couple pairs of polar bears sparring. This pair was directly off the South end of the Tundra Lodge. The wrestled in and out of the standing water which is why they are darker.
This was going to be it. This is unedited (sooc) apart form the square crop. Such great colours. Let me know if you think I have made the wrong choice!
It's O.K. to be different.
This is another Canon FD 50mm 1.8 reversal. I'm in love with the bokeh from this lens. =)
I you guys are curious, it was with the 50mm in this past shot I have here.
