A quick intense shower hit the western suburbs late this afternoon. As the showers moved east the sub came out and a beautiful double rainbow appeared. Now I just needed a train. Well one showed right as the bow was disappearing but you take what you can get.
Quickly rising through the ranks of the Galactic Knights,Alabrax P'aardal was given the rank of Lord and an army to command after the valor and dedication he showed at the Battle of the Six Scythes in 1287 P.L. Still regarded as one of the most formidable scythes-men of the galaxy, his unfortunate death at the hands of Sir Zavius Festal marked the end of the Ages of Chilvalry and the beginning of a more modern style of combat and knighthood.

Although I'm a bit late, here's my contribution to the alien-in-spacesuit fad started by Legohaulic. I liked how this guys came out, though I wish I had some tan hands....
If anyone's curious as to why I designed this guy to be a space-knight, I was listening to A Game of Thrones audiobook while building this. I highly
recommend the book :)
Enjoy!
Just a quick one before I headed out for a meal last night.
Part two of this weeks little outings was just as hectic as part one. I really must remember not to try and do my makeup in the car the lighting is dire.
Last night I got home early by an hour and that gave me enough time to get a half decent look. I haven't been to happy with my look just lately its a combination of getting older and rounder in the face once again, and work being very full on as a result it takes longer for me to relax into who I am, But don't worry I am fine and not about to do anything daft like buy more dresses.
Right where was I ?
I was going to for this blouse with my jeans as modelled a few days ago but at the last moment I decided a skirt was needed. Think it works :-)
Train trip #15
Melville, Saskatchewan
I'd had a wonderful dinner of rack of lamb with roast potatoes and perfectly cooked vegetables. I normally don't have dessert but when the food is all included in your fare it's hard to say no, especially to creme brule!! The food on the train was exceptionally good.
I always got off at all the stops because it was nice to catch some fresh air. And here, I wanted to get a picture of the grain elevators (the structures on the left) which are iconic symbols of the Prairies. I was excited about the next day, our last, because we'd go through the Rockies! I was a bit worried though because we were running about 5-6 hours late and if we lost much more time we'd hit darkness part way through the mountains.
An eagle flew by us at Colvill Park in Red Wing, Minnesota

Just took this quick grab shot of water drops landing then breaking apart on our back rail. I was amazed the camera saw stuff I couldn’t with the naked eye. Then again, my eyes aren’t so good.
Back to hibernation for a few days. The rain was beautiful.

Hi guysss! After a really long *and I mean really really really long time* I'm finally uploading something! x
Taken on the south side of the Huntington Beach Pier, California. Once again a foggy morning on a small surf day. I just haven't hit good with a big surf and sunny day for photos.
When I've been out in the afternoon and then I carry it on into the evening I need to change at least part of my outfit. On this occasion it was my skirt :-)
On the iPhone... just to give a sense of scale (person on right hand side) to some of the more remote Sottish beaches.
How quick does the new Nikkor 500mm f/5.6 PF ED VR focus? I was shooting this guy head on....stopped and spun as he went by. One frame on him as he approached the runway. Kill % with this lens is 95%.
Love her slightly rough soles and this white callous around her
heels which means that she didn't wash her feet for quite a long time. Nothing better than bury your nose there and taking
a deep long inhale of this intoxicating scent. Her long toenails
are so sexy.! hope getting a special treat from her this weekend...
After quickly picking up what seemed like a dozen wrappers and stuffing them back inside his suitcase. Maurice gets the call from the conductor that the train is nearing the station. “We made good time as the tracks were clear. The snow had stopped, and now we just have the cold weather for the rest of the week.”
I don’t like cold. I have to keep wearing a jacket and I have to remember to put it in a place where I’ll find it. Bentley would tell him that if he would simply hang it up each time he was done wearing it, he would find it again there. So much for what a Teddy Bear knows!
The conductor also told Maurice, “The bus driver is also at the station and he will take you to the Elf Club house where you’ll check in for duty.”
The Elf Club house? Not that place again. That place was a zoo last year, but not at bad as the ski house. That had a dog. I don’t like dogs. But I have to choose one place or the other I guess. I hate having to put up for the night away from my own comfortable, warm bed.
Maurice walks into the station to get ready for the last part of the trip. But then he sees the bus driver. Not him again!
