It's the biter bit. This young girl also realized a very graphic photo of me! The double selfie inverted; -)
To go out of my zone of comfort, I gave myself a difficult challenge for me, 3 photos with a precise theme: Photographers in Paris.

“Sometimes I long for a convent cell, with the sublime wisdom of centuries set out on bookshelves all along the wall and a view across the cornfields--there must be cornfields and they must wave in the breeze--and there I would immerse myself in the wisdom of the ages and in myself. Then I might perhaps find peace and clarity. But that would be no great feat. It is right here, in this very place, in the here and the now, that I must find them. ”

One of the lessons that we need to learn from waterfall is that we should never get stuck at one place, if we do we lose our identity & we begin to stink without realizing!

After a lengthy observation over the weekend, I realized that I had gotten the genders of the two birds switched around, which explains a lot concerning their individual behaviors and dispositions. So, I have decided to name them Zeus and Leto instead, which fits them as well, and, even better, is an actual pair in Greek mythology.

While few people realize it, the ARR does own trackage outside the Last Frontier. Not much though!
The ARR owns the barge slip on Harbor Island in Seattle that they use as their interchange point to the UP and BNSF and the greater North American rail network. The ownership is actually 50/50 with Seaspan Corp (a Washington Group company) although Seaspan has never used the slip. Over time ARR’s ownership stake gradually rises since they presently pay for all maintenance and upkeep on the structure. ARR’s trackage ends adjacent the nose of the unit (hence the ARR logo on the sign) meaning the railroad owns about one car length on solid ground.
UP Seattle based yard crew YSE51R is seen here beginning the process of stripping the weekly barge that has arrived from the 49th State. Three barges owned and operated by Alaska Railbelt Marine (a member of the Lynden family of companies) are constantly cycling between Seattle and Whittier, AK carrying railcars on 8 tracks and containers stacked three high in the racks above. They are truly marvels of modern logistics!
Since the ARR owns no yard trackage in Seattle and has no locomotives of its own with which to switch the barge, the UP provides this service since it is the railroad that owns the connecting rails on Harbor Island. At the time this yard assignment was normally just a two man RCL crew, but on barge days an engineer was called and the barge is worked by a conventional three man crew.
In this view the UP crew has reached in with their handle (in order to keep the locomotive off the slip itself) consisting of a covered hopper and three old cabooses to begin pulling cars off the southbound ARMS voyage 1023 (the 23rd sailing of 2010). This particular barge is the Fairbanks Provider built by Gunderson in 2001 it is 420 ft long and 100 ft wide with 3190 linear feet of track on the deck and a dead weight of 15,300 tons.

This is the School of Art, Design & Media at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Staying in the country for 2 months, of course I had to visit a futuristic building like this one!
Reading up on it, I realized the President of NTU is from Sweden! Sometimes the world is very a small place.
This last November, I realized a dream of years!! To go to Africa and watch the wild African life not in cages, but living in the wild, where they were meant to live by birth!
And I decided to visit South Africa, where a very close friend , and a great flickr photographer used to live!! In Johannesburg ! In fact, he was the best motivation for me, in order to realize this long dream of mine!
I was conquered by the SA people , and their cultures!! CultureS!!! And I was mesmerized by this wild , dry countryside land and its gorgeous native inhabitants! Of which the Felines made my heart beating like crazy, of admiration and uplifting joy!
**** I present you here, THE MOST ADORABLE white baby lion I have EVER seen, touched, cuddled, played with!!!! Like old friends!! He was very friendly and open, and was particularly fond of my braid, with which he played joyfully, like my kittens do….He curled around , and showed me his adorable tender belly like my dog does, not being afraid to be cuddled on !!! Wow!! What a baby lion bliss!!

Over the weekend I realized that I had only 1 picture of the Yancey RR on my Flickr stream. So considering how we stopped in almost every summer during family visits, I will correct that oversight with a few this week. And this one is currently my 1000th photo on Flickr so that's pretty neat too. This is their #1, a GE 44T that was bought new in 1955 when the railroad started operating what was left of the Black Mountain RR. What was left was from just around the curve behind the depot where they built an engine house over the end of the main track (really more like a garage) to a connection with the Clinchfield at Kona. There was also a short branch from Micaville to Bowditch to serve a large Feldspar customer. The front door to the headquarters is what you see here at the Burnsville depot. This is a little later (August 13, 1973) but in the 60's when my dad would walk in with me, my brother, and cousin, the GM would ask if we were there to ride that day or just to watch. We did a little of both.
"The shadow, when it is realized, is the source of renewal; the new and productive impulse cannot come from established values of the ego. When there is an impasse, and sterile time in our lives—despite an adequate ego development—we must look to the dark, hitherto unacceptable side which has been at our conscious disposal….This brings us to the fundamental fact that the shadow is the door to our individuality. In so far as the shadow renders us our first view of the unconscious part of our personality, it represents the first stage toward meeting the Self. There is, in fact, no access to the unconscious and to our own reality but through the shadow. Only when we realize that part of ourselves which we have not hitherto seen or preferred not to see can we proceed to question and find the sources from which it feeds and the basis on which it rests. Hence no progress or growth is possible until the shadow is adequately confronted and confronting means more than merely knowing about it. It is not until we have truly been shocked into seeing ourselves as we really are, instead of as we wish or hopefully assume we are, that we can take the first step toward individual reality.
There are at least five effective pathways for traveling inward to gain insight into the composition of our shadow: (1) soliciting feedback from others as to how they perceive us; (2) uncovering the content of our projections; (3) examining our “slips” of tongue and behavior, and investigating what is really occurring when we are perceived other than we intended to be perceived; (4) considering our humor and our identifications; and (5) studying our dreams, daydreams, and fantasies."

I didn't realize Alien 5 was a thing (or for that matter another Predator movie, but that's not until 2018 apparently) until Grantmasters started promoting it, so I decided to revisit the genera as my latest temporary obsession.
As such, this is just a small quick build to go with my Alien figure I built a while back. I was working to get a minifigure scaled Facehugger, and I think I largely succeeded--its a bit big, but it works. Incidentally, if anyone wants to build one, it's just six hands (it works with 4 actually, too), a Gollum arm, a jumper plate, and a 1x1 tooth plate (pointed towards the tail--which you cannot see at this angle).
I'd like to make tons of these, but like my Alien (black gun legs) I ended up using "rare" pieces, which makes it expensive to army build--didn't realize tan hands were hard to come by. Someone else get on that!
I realized a week or so ago that I only had 44 pics in the Mount Saint Helen folder and thought that odd as I've been there many times so I've been rooting around in my archive and realized that I once again had grabbed the wrong shot, this is nearly identical to 'Windy Ridge' but there is less fog and one can see the terrain much better so.....
I realize over time I have gotten quite a little Grumpy Cat Collection... First I got the tiny Needle Felted girl to ease my pain when I missed out on Miss Ixnay...Then Came the art from my lovely friend Punky Blythster and I found a couple of mugs last weekend :D
And Of course Ixnay Finally joined the Lawdeda Clan <3 So happy!
Hope you are all having a great weekend!
I realized that the sky is most colorful at dusk.
This photo was taken in one of the bridges of Cagayan de Oro City. Actually, the dusk a day before I took this photo was more exciting but my colleagues and I were still in a point where it is difficult to capture it. It comes early as December is approaching.
I find ways to view dusk from a different perspective; away from the usual sea and sun combination. In this photo, I combined the vanishing point created by the street lights, the city silhouette, and the dark clouds coming over to finish the day.
It must be serendipity. I just happened to be there.

I realize this is not the type of image I usually do but I loved the soft cool tones in an abstract kind of way. I do not expect many people to look at but I had to post I really liked even though I know most wont.This was from a recent trip to Canada to shoot some of the fresh snow in the Provincial Parks but I was not so blessed with very good weather in terms of sunshine. This was an image on my way home as the fog began to lift just as I was going home - something I am sure photographers are used to !
I am trying to get to comment on my fellow photographers and I apologize for not getting around as much as i would like to due to so much recent work - sorry !!!!
Thanks for any comments or critiques

Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.
I realized I haven't said much about the hummingbirds lately. The anna's are here everyday, since they're year rounders, and the rufous are here too, though in smaller numbers. Everything today more-or-less as reported the last week or more. I'm still hoping to see more of the grosbeaks, which I've seen around the neighborhood but not in the yard since I posted the photo of one. Anna's hummingbird, backyard Olympia.
I realized last year that I have to do something to jump start my creativity. I rarely picked up my camera since Greg died a year ago. But photography has always been one of my great pleasures and I want it back. So I am going to try to do another 52 week project. I found two prompts on line and I am going to combine them for this project. My first entry represents "Beginnings" and this photo is of another project I'm taking on this year. I am going to make a temperature scarf. I will crochet a row every day representing the high temperature of the day and these are the colors I chose to use going from cold to hot.
Realized I can never win
Sometimes I feel like I have failed
Inside where do I begin
My mind is laughing at me
Tell me why am I to blame
Arent we suppose to be the same
Thats why I will never change
This thing thats burning in me
I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldnt last
I am alive full of pain
I feel the anger changing me
Sometimes I can never tell
If I got something to help the pain
Thats why I just beg and plead
For this curse to leave me
Tell me why am I to blame
Arent we suppose to be the same
Thats why I will never change
This thing thats burning in me
I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldnt last
I am alive full of pain
I feel the anger changing me
Beaten
I feel so
Insane
I really
Tried
I did my time
I did my time
I did my time
I did my time
I did my time
I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldnt last
I feel alive full of pain
I feel the anger changing me
O god the angers changing me
O god the angers changïng me
🔆 What is a sovereign?
I have realized that I have my own truth within me.
I have realized that I am free from manipulation on the outside and that my inner voice is my guide.
I have realized that I am never alone because I am part of the All Being.
I have realized that I want to use my abilities to serve nature, people and animals.
I have realized that my free will has meaning.

Going through my flickr images, I realized this image was somehow deleted. Here it is again just in time for the Halloween spirit. This shot was taken 4 years ago during a foggy October sunrise.
Thanks for the faves and the comments. While I can't respond to every comment posted, I do read and appreciate all of the suggestions and feedback. I do photography for your enjoyment, and always look to improve the quality and experience.

Objects in the mirror may be closer then they appear
The mirror showed me something I knew but never realized
It was looking forward while I was looking back
It showed me an image of those who care about me
While I was looking at those I care about.
My heart read the words without thinking, perhaps it was true
They showed up just where they should be
Only inches away, yet so close in my mind
I was looking back at my thoughts; they were looking forward to my heart
It wasn’t the words, but the meaning of the image
Perhaps out of focus and a bit too real
Long after I had seen it, the meaning came rushing through
Somewhere it was supposed to be recorded for all to know
An image reflected back, yet not as backwards as one would think
Perhaps somewhere an engineer knew what he was doing putting those words there
Aimed perfectly for me to see that sometimes things appear exactly as they are, but sometimes
Objects in the mirror may be closer then they appear

This is an image of my mirror on my car. The words aren't quite the same, but we all know that words mean nothing compared to feelings. And yes, its dirty.
The image is one I actually took that day. James was a HUGE sweetheart and found the originals I took that day. I updated the image above from my newer one. Awww.
~~~~~
This poem came into my head while driving with James on a trip about a month after we met. I remember riding in the back seat and looking into the passenger mirror and seeing James, then realizing the words on the mirror and laughing to myself. I think it was then that I realized I was falling in love with him because well, objects in the mirror may be closer then they appear.
***
For those that looked prior, I saved the original image here -
I'm a thousand miles from what I had before
It's only now I realize where I'm from
Maybe I'm already home
Home is inside
Take it with me
Wherever the map may lead
I'll be where I have to be

We all have two lives. The second life begins when we realize that we only have one.
Real life can be so short and also very hard... you usually only realize that when it's almost too late.
Don't waste time on unimportant people and things... instead enjoy your time with your loved ones and live your dreams. The most beautiful dreams are free and so much more beautiful.
Imagine yourself as this lone tree, standing in the snow waves. You might not be able to realize that you just became the main subject of an image, but you do realize something beautiful is happening.
I realize this is a similar shot to several others I have published but I found the variance in the sky and weather can give it a completely different feel. This one was one of my favorites and I have saved it for last. I love the difference between the warm tones on the left, the cooler blues on the right, and the bright appearance of the vanishing point, like a door that only needs to be reached and opened.
Very impressive waterfall and one of the most famous ones in Iceland. It was a little bitter sweet moment when we were there our home town Venice just got hit with hurricane Ian while we were witnessing the brute force but amazing beauty of the waterfall our home, friends and neighbors were enduring the brute force of the hurricane so it made this moment a very humbling one. My wife in the picture said feeling the force up close made her realize the true power of nature.
I realize, but I like the end result.
This is a piece that started out as a hydranga, again that I was going to use for Bokeh Wednesday, and found itself becoming something like a piece of art in my eyes. I just couldn't help playing with it until I got it to the mood I felt fit the photo and made it more dramatic at least in my eyes! I hope you like it.

I'm sorry I've posted so many tonight. As I have said in the past, when I have time to work on my photography, I like to get as much done as possible and share with all my friends. Thanks for being so understanding!
I realize this is a door, but "Just don't hit, push, kick, punch or otherwise hurt me anymore" is never something anyone should say. If someone is purposely hurting you, there is no "anymore." There's only get the hell out. It's not easy, and usually requires help and support, but it's essential.

Hairdo for a fairy who is very shy. She's hiding behind her hair. HSoS! ;-)
I didn't realize we could post non-human hair pics for smile on Saturday today!! I just saw that we can, so I grabbed the camera and aimed it at my latest creation. Another fairy. :-) Been working on a bunch of them. Such fun!!!!! :-)
(I purchase just the body & head, sometimes just the head, sometimes just the body - no eyes, hair or clothes, then I doll them up, as they say. lol.. I chose to use lavender eyes for this fairy. And the perfect outfit and shoes!! But you can't see them here.;-))
I just realized my last few posts have been a combination of yellows and greens....well, hard not to capture all the green everywhere, it's a soothing tone and is the first color I think of when describing summer.
Hope you all have a great weekend and lots of sunshine!
Everyone,
I just realized I had not posted or visited anyone in a few days so I wanted to make a quick post to give a heads up.
I have been on a bit of travel and i JUST purchased the new Adobe CS5 and a WACOM tablet sooooooo its going to be a few days before I can post or comment.
i will TRY to get to everyone over the next few days, but definitely by the weekend.
I apologize for taking the week off, but for anyone who has made this upgrade you understand how much stuff there is to reorganize and how much there is to learn before you can get back to work.
So I will see you all VERY soon, I just wanted to give you all a big Flicka hug and let you know ill be back amongst my Best Flicka Friends (BFF) as quick as I can.
Hope you all are having a GREAT week )
TIg.
I realized I hadn't edited a landscape in a long time so I was working my way through my massive backlog of images, being really hard on my work as I always am, until this one popped out at me. It's actually a composite of two images of the same scene. It's just a combination of a warmly lit foreground mixed with a sky above the exact same scene from about 9 minutes later. It always amazes me how little time needs to pass for the light to completely change a scene. Now I want to get really poetic about certain scenes in my own life where I'm waiting on changes and trying to keep hope that it will take less time than I expect. I have the ideas, just not the words. So for now here's a picture of Chimney Rock in western Nebraska from last January. I was just hanging out waiting for some wonderful friends to get off work while enjoying the awesome beauty of the creation that surrounds us! That's one of the things I love most about my photography. I use my pictures as backgrounds and screensavers on my phone, tablet, computers, and TVs. Every single image that pops up takes me to a memory. I feel the cool breeze, remember the moment, and usually the people I was with. Photography is an expensive hobby, it can be time consuming, and yes you can end up being hyper critical of your own work like I mentioned earlier in this post, but it also shows you things you never would have seen otherwise and, if you display your shots in any way, it constantly reminds you of some of the brighter moments along your path.
