Do ya'll think people would be interested in purchasing minifigs like these off ebay as I am thinking whether or not to sell them?
I was going to buy a dolly
When I was shopping at the store.
But then I had to ask myself
A question, like: 'what for?'
I thought about the stuff I have
In boxes piled high.
I can't find things when I look for them
So now I rarely try.
Or I buy things and leave them sit
In bags or in a box.
I don't want 'em, I don't need 'em
But I got 'em, lots and lots.
These new dollies are quite tiny,
Bratz, I think they were.
Bratz Dolls, Classic Minis
And a bargain at two-fer.
But two for ten whole dollars
That's five bucks apiece!
And these dolls are really tiny
Like, two inches tall, at least.
Five bucks! You must be kidding!
For a doll that small? Obscene!
These little plastic figures
Should be in a gum machine!
Put in a nickel or a dime
And turn the crank or knob.
If the machine don't eat your coin
You'll get a little glob
Of molded plastic in a little
Brittle plastic ball.
You'll look forlornly at your palm
And ask yourself, 'That's all?'
Usually the plastic ball
Is better than the prize.
But it only cost a nickel
So you shrug and roll your eyes.
The new dolls are called Blind Box
Which means you don't know what you'll get.
Just like with the old gum machine
A let-down lies ahead.
But now Blind Box is all the rage
Like coin machines of yore.
And fools like me spend fives and tens
Hoping we will score.
Score what? A piece of plastic junk
In a little plastic cube?
As was the case in yesteryear
The buyer is a rube.
Five bucks! Not just a nickel!
Ten bucks! Not one thin dime!
And here I thought the gum machines
Were bordering on crime.
A hundred years have passed, it seems
'Tween now and way back when
And things, they cost a hundred times
As much as they cost then.
But me, I'm now much smarter,
So I thought about my stuff
Sitting in the storage shed
And I told myself, 'Enough!'
I walked right past those little dolls
On a shelf down near the floor.
I do not need a Blind Box doll
That costs ten bucks or more!
I wandered through the store aisles
Buying eggs and cheese and rice
Milk, and bread, and butter
Then I thought about the price.
Things now cost so much, it seems
That money has no meaning.
I thought about those little dolls...
You can guess where this is leading.
Yeah, I went back, and picked one out
And then I picked out two.
I mean, with money being worthless
What harm would it do?
I coulda bought some carrots
Quite a lot for ten.
Maybe then my eyesight
Would be what it was again.
I coulda bought some apples
A dozen, maybe more.
Then I might start feeling good
Like I did before.
Instead, I bought a tiny doll
In a tiny plastic box
I have not opened it up yet
So I don't know what I got.
Doesn't really matter.
It's just some plastic chunk
That I'll shove in to a storage bin
With my other plastic junk.
Maybe I could take it back
Do I have the receipt?
Or did I lose the slip somewhere
Beneath the car's back seat?
Shouldn't I feel happy?
I got a brand new toy!
Where is the excitement?
Where is all the joy?
Instead, I'm feeling foolish
Over money, things, and all
And wondering why I spent ten bucks
On a Blind Box Doll.
Three Questions
When this female grizzly made serious eye contact with me three questions popped into my mind.
Is it just curiosity?
Is she just warning me to get out of her space?
Is she considering me for dinner?
No matter. The answer to all three was the same. Get back into the car. I had been shooting over the hood of the car and as soon as I got back inside she lost interest and began to browse the nearby vegetation for goodies.
Good morning. Just a single posting of a Question Mark Butterfly (Polygonia interrogationis) I captured yesterday on top of a trimmed (or broken) branch limb at the pond across the street. I saw it by accident and it was the only shot I was able to get before it flew off.
Question Marks are part of an association of butterflies commonly known as "anglewings," which have sharply angled wings. When folded at rest, the undersides resemble dead leaves or pieces of bark. This group includes anglewings, tortoiseshells, commas, question marks, leafwings, snouts and daggerwings. Habitat includes deciduous woods, forest clearings & edges, and open woodlands.
Thanks for visiting...and I hope you have a great Sunday.

Honestly, I can't decide.
Anyone have any suggestions, input, rants, or entreaties on the subject of the "improved" flickr? I'm all ears.
So...yeah, this is the picture in question, the one that was used by a national geographic photographer to promote a for-profit photo workshop at Burning Man. Kinda funny that it's getting all the attention, because it's a fairly crappy HDR in my opinion. Anyway, thanks for the support...you can check out my other burning man photos here:

Here's the original story:
Chris and I got to Burning Man on Friday the 28th, before the event opened. Shortly after sunset I rode out to the Man. It had just rained and was fairly stormy. The only person out there was a single Ranger, on what has been called "stick duty". I took a number of exposures and ended up liking this one the best...something about that Ranger out there all alone. This is an HDR image made from three exposures (1/13, 1/25, 1/50) at f7.1 shot with my bitchin' Tokina 14-24mm wide angle lens. After I processed the source files in Photomatix I ran it through Noise Ninja to help deal with artifacts induced in the HDR manipulation process.
You can view and download high-rez versions of this photo on a nice background on my website at

(lots of other pics from Burning Man, festivals, events, parties and chihuahuas are up there too!)
That's the question. Although pink is my favourite colour, I personally prefer blue in Aurora as it suits her best and the meaning of her name is related to the sky.

Nikon D300 Photos of Beautfiul Sexy Hot Brunette!
She was a beauty--a gold 45 goddess for sure! A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess guards the beauty of dx4/dt=ic and embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic journey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour.
ALL THE BEST on your Epic Hero's Odyssey from Johnny Ranger McCoy!

Invercargill and the province of Southland.
A puzzled question is why does a city of 50,000 people exist on the southernmost tip of NZ which has the bleakest climate? Invercargill is the coolest, most bleak and cloudiest city in NZ. It averages just 1,600 hours of sunshine a year compared with 1,500 for London, 2,050 in Christchurch, 2,800 in Adelaide and 3,200 in Perth WA. It has around 200 mm of rain every month of the year and it is a very windy city. It is in fact one of the largest southern cities in the world only surpassed by Ushuaia and Punta Arenas in Argentina and Chile respectively. But because of its latitude it has long summer days. Even in mid-October when we visit the length of day will be around 13.5 hours with the sun setting around 8:20 pm. In high summer twilight ends around 10:30 pm with a 16 hour long day like in Scotland. At this time of the year one can often see the Aurora Australis or Southern Lights an atmospheric phenomena of subarctic regions. Like Dunedin Invercargill was settled by the Scots. Many of its streets and families have Scottish names. It developed as an offshoot of Scottish Otago. The Surveyor General of Otago selected the site for a new town in 1856 and laid out the streets in a grid pattern on this very flat city. The first land was sold in 1858 and by 1861 Invercargill was a very small but flourishing town. Why? Because it had three main riches, apart from some gold found in the hinterland in 1860: it had the largest most fertile plains of NZ; it had a coastline rich with oysters, lobsters, cod fish and abalone( paua); and it had heavily forested mountains with hardwoods which were in great demand throughout the world- rimu, totara, silver beech etc. These basic factors meant that the province of Southland when it separated from Otago in 1861 had a bright future. The land, rainfall, soils and seas would provide for the people as it had done for the Maoris before the whites arrived. Southland consequently has had a rich and varied agricultural past ranging from sheep pastoralism, grain growing especially oats for porridge and barley for illicit whisky making (how could the Scots survive in this cold climate without whisky?) ,linen flax growing and milling, dairying and milk processing, fish and seafood canning, timber cutting and timber mills, and meat freezing and butchering works. These rural industries necessitated railways and like Dunedin Invercargill become a major rail head with lines going north to Lumsden, Kingston and Queenstown in the Alps, across to Gore, and west towards Fjordland and the richly forested valleys adjacent to it. Timber in particular needed the railways. Invercargill established railway workshops and the manufacturing steam engines for the railways of NZ. Its first railway line was built in 1867 to the Bluff, the port for Southland. It was connected to Christchurch by 1878.
In the 20th century Southland has developed hydroelectricity which in turn has attracted industry to the region. Possums introduced from across the Tasman in 1858 have become a major pest but they have also spawned a new industry- possum textiles and woollens; red deer were introduced from Europe in 1901 to Fjordland and now with the advent of helicopters and helicopter farming they are “farmed” for venison and processed near Invercargill. The story of Southland and Invercargill is one generally of success and success based on the climate and the resources of the land. For example, dairying has been strong since the early 1880s and continues today with Fonterra Milk processing mainly for export to Asia; linen flax milling continued until 1956; flourmills have processed wheat and the oat mill in Gore produced porridge oats; and Chewings Fescue was found to thrive in Southland and has become a major industry producing lawns for houses around NZ. Southland introduced prohibition in 1905 which lasted until 1945 and the illegal moonshine or whisky making in the hills east of Invercargill near Gore continued whilst that was in place. But the really big success has been hydroelectricity which began with Lake Monowai Power station in 1925. It still powers Invercargill and feeds into the national power grid. More recently the enormous Manapouri Power Station 200 metres below the water level of Lake Manapouri near Te Anau in Fjordland was completed in 1971 after work commenced in 1964. It is the largest hydroelectric station in NZ and the second largest power station in NZ. It was developed for Comalco to erect an aluminium smelter and refinery at the Bluff near Invercargill which is now run by Rio Tinto and employs nearly 3,000 people from Invercargill but its financial viability is shaky and the plant has been threatened with closure. Another major industry of Invercargill is fertiliser production.
•Invercargill is a Scottish settlement. 40% of Invercargill’s suburbs and nearby towns have Scottish names and the first Presbyterian Church was the leading church of the province. The current church replaced an earlier 1863 church in 1915 when it was completed. It is built of brick with a domed roof, a 100 foot high tower and it is in the Italian Romanesque style. It is on the highway from Dunedin at 151 Tay St. Next on the right is St Johns Anglican Church( 108 Tay St) in red brick built in 1887; almost next door is the impressive Town Hall and Theatre ( 88 Tay St) built 1906 in classical style; next is the YMCA building of 1910 at 77 Tay St; at the roundabout (the location of the Boer War Memorial) at the end of the street is the old Bank of NSW built in 1904 on the right whilst on the left is the former Cornerstone Bank of NZ building from 1879 ; as you turn right into Dee St. you will see a plethora of brightly painted heritage buildings all in good repair – partly because the city’s young mayor from Auckland some years ago supported and encouraged this to revitalise the city. At 136 Dee St is the Blackman building with the large black swan on the roof line and further along (178 Dee St.) is the Gothic St Pauls Presbyterian Church built in 1876 and added to in 1881. In Victoria Ave is the former but now closed Information Centre and Southland Museum. Here also is Queens Park with its rhododendron dell rock garden, magnificent trees etc. Nearby is the City water Tower (a flat city needed a tower for water pressure) built in 1888 with 300,000 red, yellow and black bricks. 101 Doon St.
Other heritage buildings include:

How do you Flickr Peeps feel about your images being included in Tumblr accounts?
I have an image that (for some reason) has thousands of views and notes on Tumblr which is lovely, however, they have the main image hosted there without a link back to the main file on Flickr.
25.media.tumblr.com/aa690c7206e7822a92385dc5c44f9261/tumb...
it's kinda bugging me as I recently went through lots of grief trying to get a company to remove one of my images from their website.
For some reason I thought the Tumblr community would always retain information relating to the original author / photographer.
Any Thoughts?
Three Sisters
These magnificent rock formations are found in New South Wales, Australia in Blue Mountains National Park. Aboriginal legend states these were 3 sisters turned to stone for their protection, but the means to restore them to human form was lost.
Chiffchaff
(definite ID, we heard him sing).
Seen in a landscape protection area in Achim near Bremen - Lower Saxony - Germany. Picture taken about one week after our first sighting of Chiffchaffs this year in Northern Germany.
This one is dedicated to Luis-Gaspar, who already misses the Chiffchaffs in Portugal :-))) I hope they will have a great summer with us and return south to him in greater numbers come autumn. Which leaves for me the question where their "real" home is, or do they just have two places of residence like some people do?
:-) Cheers, Ulrike.
Zilpzalp
(definitiv identifiziert, wir hörten ihn singen).
Gesehen im Landschaftsschutzgebiet in Achim bei Bremen. Aufgenommen etwa eine Woche nach unserer ersten Sichtung dieses Jahr bei uns in Norddeutschland.
Dieser hier ist Luis-Gaspar gewidmet, der die Zilpzalpe jetzt schon in Portugal vermißt :-))) Ich hoffe sie werden hier einen guten Sommer haben und in vergrößerter Zahl im Herbst zu ihm zurückkehren. Nun frage ich mich bloß noch wo denn nun eigentlich ihre "richtige" Heimat ist, oder haben sie einfach zwei Wohnsitze so wie manche Leute es eben haben?
:-) Herzliche Grüße, Ulrike.
A pleasant end-of-summer surprise was finding this Question Mark nectaring on the Heptacodium….along with a couple of Monarchs and Hummingbirds.
Questioning the question and the intention behind it; is it from
the heart? It should be shouldn’t it? It could be… Or was it a
childhood crush that grew into a something that never should
have been? Past heartbreaks make us weary, but there is a
reason for the hurt. It has to happen for us to be the people
we are today. The question has been raised again… and the
answer is clear. Or is it?
-A heartfelt Honest ramble
“who are you?” he whispered.
His question lingered, hung like smoke curling in the air. Her smile was sincere, a little too sincere. The interest in his tone ignited her soul, for she could not answer. As she herself did not even know. She was young girl of twenty three, with hair of golden sun, and eyes as reflective an emerald jewel, that was a fact she knew. When her smile reached her eyes they glowed intensely against the darkness of any night.
‘I do not know…’ she paused with uncertainty and she curled her arms around him. His heart beating, humming into her ear, like a love song only she could hear. His chest rose and he inhaled deep, but no words fell from his lips as she waited for him to speak. when her mind knew he was just as confused, she loved him that little bit more than the minute that passed by a moment before. If you could read someone by their eyes, her life would horrify. His heart sung and his mind ticked, but his body relaxed under her loving grip. She knew who she wanted to be, she knew who she was, and she knew who she had become. Each relationship she knew who they wanted her to be. She let them mould her, to love her, to own her and in-turn to control them.
‘Power is not in the person who thinks they have control, but in the person who is being controlled.’ A passage which she read once upon a time, and could release the taste of them from her mind. The sharp wind slapped her hair and it whipped her face, his hands raised and held her safe. This was the start of a beautiful mistake.
Ask no questions and you'll get no lies
Turn the cheek and blind the eye...
Bend the knee and give away your life
