We went to Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Complex looking for birds to photograph. We looked and looked and everything we could see was too far away to snap a decent picture. Then we started looking around us and spotted many other lovely critters and creatures to photograph. These beautiful dragonflies were all over the place in their mating colors.

I couldn’t help thinking about that line from the Cole Porter song, ‘do do that voodoo that you do so well’! (Remember Blazing Saddles?)

My neighbour Ken founded Ashleigh Signs, now an International signage company. Look at The Savoy and Hilton Hotels in London and thats an example of their work.www.ashleighsigns.co.uk/gallery/ Ken took me down to look around the premises and I got a few shots.

ONTN busts through one final drift before darkness just north of Alma. A broken rail had held up the train for about a half hour or so prior. Normally, this would have been a very annoying set back with darkness looming, however timing couldn't have been more perfect for peak dusk colours at this location.

Former Ann Arbor main
that's the day i was born and hence, i had a birthday on april 9th, 2009! AHHHH!
it was a fun day. though it ended with bloatedness after drinking a soy chai at a restaurant. it was the powder mix chai, which, from experience, tends to be laden with dairy... Oh NOES! . . .
in any case, it was still fun. a guy gave me a HUGE purple cellophane wrapped basket of homemade peanut butter cookies he made himself, pretty white roses, funny balloons, and a card about BOOTYBUTTS (the card i received at work was about a toilet and poo... ironic much?)! his mom got me a to-die-for gift card to starbuck's (i whole-heartedly support the local coffee and tea shops, but sometimes, they just aren't around when you need 'em the most!)
then he and i went out to breakfast/lunch/brunch/whatever you wanna call it at T.C. Eggington's. they have great vegetarian choices... "portobellini"... yum! on the way to breakfast, we saw a mother and her tiny baby ducks by the freeway in the puddle-y canal/gutter/whatever you wanna call that. it was cool because it was my birthday and they were cute, yet odd because it was by a freeway and not in a park, or in my school's irrigation or something. them duckies must be suffering economically too, eh?
so after that, i contemplated going back home to work on a commedia dell'arte mask for theatre class, but decided to just veg and hang with this guy at his apartment (i find vegging out, doing nothing a bit difficult to do sometimes).
later on, we met up with my parents to eat dinner at the Euro Cafe in Gilbert, AZ. a great foodsie greeky place. and that's where, you know, *ahem*... the soy-chai-laden-with-dairy-omg-why-did-i-order-this fiasco happened. so after dinner, with all of us feeling like cows (even though i hardly ate anything and they ate like contestants in a hotdog eating contest), we went to Wal-Mart of all places. i'm particularly NOT a Wal-Mart fan, but since i was at Wal-Mart and it might be cheaper than at other places, i bought vanilla soy ice cream because i was magnetized/hankering for some.
we finally headed home around 11pm, after which i quickly shoved this guy out the door and kissed him goodbye, so i could heat up some of those peanut butter cookies and WHAM BAM!... inhale hot cookies n' ice cream. mmmmmmmmmm... no cake this year. and i wanted it that way. no one even sang to me either i noticed, but that's perfectly ok. it's not a crime. wait wait...i take that back: he played the weird al birthday song... so essentially, i was sung to in mp3 format. :)
oh yeah, and at work today for my 'employee birthday'... i made up fruit, granola, & yogurt parfaits for everyone. someone bought all the ingredients (i requested it instead of birthday cake), and i went right to work -- whipping up those babies during my lunch break. i was so amazed some people didn't know what a parfait was or how to make them.
well, now they know :)
suffice to say, i'm on a parfait kick now. i hadn't had one in a year before that day. soy yogurt though. yes, please. :)
p.s. thanks dude for taking these kickity arse photos!

The Powder house was an unloading point for gunpowder to be used in the North Wales Slate Quarries. It sits at the mouth of the Glaslyn estuary where it meets the Irish Sea.

My mother and I had quite a lot of fun adding laye after layer of different-coloured spices. I almost felt like a science experiment.
The jar was 6 cm high and almost 5 large.

My original intent was not to spread chili powder everywhere. However, the best laid plans gone awry, but the disorder works for me!

Ma vieille fleur de Gerbera n'a pas eu le temps de se déplacer que le tube de poudre de chocolat s'est renversé sur elle sans crier garde. Du coup, l'image apparait telle une peinture abstraite représentant une tête de canard avec un chapeau. #Macro #MacroMondays #Powder
What if?
What if I...
What if I came out of the shadows...
What if I went back in time...
What if I stopped fast forwarding...
P.S. A little Arcane (League of Legends) tribute. This is the favorite game of my other lion. xD And I took this photo ages ago and never got to post it! Especially after he took so long to put that epic Ekko look together. :p
