Well fancy! I was just checking my ID and I see that candelsnuff fungus contains both anti-viral properties and compounds that are active against some human carcinomas.
These tiny flowers are back and are all over the ground and climbing the fence in one section of our yard. Day 362:Project365
More of a lifestyle change, instead of sitting on the couch & watching TV every night, I walk on the treadmill & watch TV.
ODC - 6/12/2019 - Lifestyle
Today, there are some Indian dancers performing near our office building. Just couldn't resist to click :) The colors of their outfits need to be captured.
As you can see, this is just a casual snap, available light during its worst time at 1pm, so harsh lights everywhere. I used spot metering to expose their skin tone properly.
Gear: Canon 7D + Tamron 18-270mm VC
Settings: f8.0 | 1/500 | ISO 500 @270mm

Yesterday the temperature was in the single digits, so I didn't even get out of the car to take this one.
10.30.10
river's school festival today. full of spider rings and spooky eyeballs and school friends, a beautiful day.
With 10 Frozen water bottles and 6 frozen Gatorades, we headed out into the 89 degree weather to Disney's Epcot.
First ride was Mission Space. They had two choices, green team which is geared more for children and motion sick sensitive people and the orange team for thrill seekers. We asked the Disney worker if people generally get sick and he answered quickly 'oh ya'. The Disney worker beside him said 'look, go big or go home' so we went big.
While standing in line The Captain was giving the very worried Mrs. Captain a pep talk. He was all 'You're Mrs. Captain now! You're a new woman and you can ride these rides and not get sick and have fun! Us Captain's are tough and since you're a Captain, you can handle this!' At one point we asked one of the workers what we should do if we feel sick. He said to keep your head back, don't try to lift your head or look to the side and under no condition should you close your eyes. Good advice.
So we get in the ride. There were barf bags right there. Bad omen. I sat beside Mrs. Captain. So we have lift off and Special K and the Captain start screaming and yelling about the space controls and 'take her up easy' and all that geek space talk while me and Mrs. Captain are screaming because we are terrified. I yell to her to breathe! breath! and she yells back thank you! I was forgetting! The g-forces were so strong I couldn't smile and to lift my head even if I wanted, would have been impossible. The ride comes to an end and no one puked!!! It was amazing! We walked off the ride laughing and shaking.
Next ride was the Ellen ride, some boring show about energy. After 30 minutes of sitting on this 'ride', I look over and the Captain appears to be sleeping. No kidding, it was that boring! Only he wasn't sleeping. I'll give you one guess what he was doing. Yep, he was puking... The Captain, coming from tough stock where no ride is too scary... The Captain, puking from the Ellen ride that's slower and more boring than It's a Small World.
So I went to the ride attendant. I didn't know what to do or how to help him. He wasn't moving and I was afraid new riders were waiting in the wings. The ride attendant, a DISNEY ride attendant tells the Captain, you got 3 minutes to get off or you ride again for 40 minutes. Later, we joked that the Captain should have thrown down his vomit filled hat at that point. I mean, thanks for the help ride attender man. We just saved you from having to call in the vomit police and this is what you say to a man with egg in his mustache?
The Captain manages to get up and we make our way to the closest bathroom. Poor guy.
We teased him relentlessly for the rest of the day. We thought it was so ironic that he tried building up his wife's tolerance to rides and he's the one who ends up hurling and on the Ellen ride no less.
Today's pic is these delicious soft raspberry candies we bought in Norway. Now if I had my choice, the most memorable part of the day is of course The Captain and the Ellen ride but who takes a pic of that AND who wants to see a pic of that? So the next most memorable are these candies. So there you have it.
Project365 Day 66: Whenever there is a camera out, Turkish girls will instantly huddle together for a pic. :D
DAY 35
“Hey Mom! I’m gonna try to poo on the potty…bring me something to read! Pweeeze…”
He gave it a shot, needless to say he didn’t ‘make a deposit’. (yes, he’ll hate me for this photo later in life, especially since I shared it with the WHOLE internet.)
Grew my hair long as an experiment for about 1.5 years. But decided to chop it off before I determine a length for the coming fall/winter.
Used PicFrame and Instagram on my iPhone 4.
Project 365, #43 - June 22, 2012
East End Pool & Library, location, Hadrian Square, Byker. So called because a 29 metre stretch of remains of Hadrian’s Wall were discovered during the development of the pool and library complex. It is thought that on the east side of the Ouseburn Valley the wall followed the line of the present Shields Road. There was actually a lot of protest in the late '90s, as our local library closed, and the building remains mostly empty to this day. However, despite the extra journey, most people now appreciate the modern facilities at the new building.
The official line from the council website www.newcastleleisure.co.uk/eastendpool
"East End Pool opened in the year 2000 and has the latest in leisure facilities to cater for everyone in the community. There are three pools including a toddler pool with a bubble machine, studio pool and the main leisure pool with a wave machine and fountains.
