FOOD FOR THOUGHT ......."The Necklace" (a story to "Reflect" upon ; )
"The cheerful little girl with bouncy golden curls was almost five. Waiting with her mother at the checkout stand, she saw them, a circle of glistening white pearls in a pink foil box.'Oh mommy please, Mommy. Can I have them? Please, Mommy, please?' Quickly the mother checked the back of the little foil box and then looked back into the pleading blue eyes of her little girl's upturned face. 'A dollar ninety-five. That's almost $2.00. If you really want them, I'll think of some extra chores for you and in no time you can save enough money to buy them for yourself. Your birthday's only a week away and you might get another crisp dollar bill from Grandma.' As soon as Jenny got home, she emptied her penny bank and counted out 17 pennies. After dinner, she did more than her share of chores and she went to the neighbor and asked Mrs. McJames if she could pick dandelions for ten cents. On her birthday, Grandma did give her another new dollar bill and at last she had enough money to buy the necklace! Jenny loved her pearls. They made her feel dressed up and grown up. She wore them everywhere, Sunday school, kindergarten, even to bed. The only time she took them off was when she went swimming or had a bubble bath. Mother said if they got wet, they might turn her neck green. Jenny had a very loving daddy and every night when she was ready for bed, he would stop whatever he was doing and come upstairs to read her a story. One night as he finished the story, he asked Jenny, 'Do you love me?' 'Oh yes, daddy. You know that I love you.' 'Then give me your pearls.' 'Oh, daddy, not my pearls. But you can have Princess, the white horse from my collection, the one with the pink tail. Remember, daddy? The one you gave me. She's my very favorite.' 'That's okay, Honey, daddy loves you. Good night.' And he brushed her cheek with a kiss. About a week later, after the story time, Jenny's daddy asked again, 'Do you love me?' 'Daddy, you know I love you.' 'Then give me your pearls.' 'Oh Daddy, not my pearls. But you can have my baby doll. The brand new one I got for my birthday. She is beautiful and you can have the yellow blanket that matches her sleeper.' 'That's okay. Sleep well. God bless you, little one. Daddy loves you.' And as always, he brushed her cheek with a gentle kiss. A few nights later when her daddy came in, Jenny was sitting on her bed with her legs crossed Indian style. As he came close, he noticed her chin was trembling and one silent tear rolled down her cheek. What is it, Jenny? What's the matter?' Jenny didn't say anything but lifted her little hand up to her daddy. And when she opened it, there was her little pearl necklace. With a little quiver, she finally said, 'Here, daddy, this is for you.' With tears gathering in his own eyes, Jenny's daddy reached out with one hand to take the dime store necklace, and with the other hand he reached into his pocket and pulled out a blue velvet case with a strand of genuine pearls and gave them to Jenny. He had them all the time. He was just waiting for her to give up the dime-store stuff so he could give her the genuine treasure. So it is, with our Creator. He is waiting for us to give up the cheap things in our lives so that He can give us beautiful treasures. God will never take away something without giving you something better in its place."

HSS! Have a great day! Enjoy!
The van, the blades, the freedom, the illusion of happiness, the downfall of it all.

I usually only shoot this location for sunset. I happened out along this spot for a sunrise one morning and was pleased & amazed at the beautiful clouds reflecting in the potholes.
Happy Thursday Everyone!!

Explore @ #252. Thanks everyone :-)
I came across a picture of tulips that I took a little while ago, but hadn't got round to uploading. I liked it so decided to give it a little revamp for Sliders Sunday - HSS!
Taken on the same day as “Reflecting The Quays” - I spun the camera around and got this view of the BBC Studios at Media City.
Some of the few people I saw walking along Princes Street, here reflected in the dark windows of a passing coach.

Avocet, Sunset Reflection. © Copyright 2018 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
An avocet feeds in shallow water reflecting sunset light
I remember, many years ago, taking a college class that included a section on birds in the San Francisco Bay Area. The birding gene didn't initially take for me — that came many years later — but I remember what must have been a very effective presentation on differences among shore birds. The birds found along the edges of bodies of water vary greatly in size and shape, from very small to quite large, and their leg and bill sizes vary, too. What I recall is the obvious point, that I hadn't thought of before, that each bird, with its long or short legs and its long or short bill, is adapted to a different niche in this environment, and even to differing depths of water.
The avocet is a striking bird in many ways. This one, like most that I've seen, was an almost solitary specimen. If another was nearby I did not see it. The bird has long legs, which it puts to use by wading in a few inches of water as it feeds. The long, curved beak allows it to reach down and pluck edibles out of the water. This one was feeding close to the shoreline and moving toward water that reflects the sunset sky, so I held still and waited for it to move into just the right position, where the colors of reflected sky were most strongly reflected in the water.

It's been a big year for me, taking up photography as a hobby in January. I'm proud of what I've achieved. Looking back at my early work I wonder what I was thinking with the HDR edits. My style has definitely changed now and I hope all you 'flickrers' like the direction my photography has taken. 2012 will hopefully bring me a 5D2, to be completely honest I can't wait.
Happy New Year, Bring on 2012!
Let me know what you think of this please. Any positive or negative genuine comments are hugely appreciated, especially constructive criticism. Thanks.

This photo is simply taken on the other side of this one. You can see chunks of snow/ice have fallen off from the granite. Very cold but peaceful as I was the only one there. Click here to view the photo with the bridge. Which do you prefer?
Finishing touches........
such a rush when you know the transformation is almost done.
Adrenaline at the max.
whoooo........
This is another image from my visit to the North End of Hamilton, Ontario, looking for subjects to capture. Accompanying me was fellow Bando de Kvar member, Matt (www.flickr.com/groups/2472126@N24/pool/ or www.instagram.com/tagg.art/ ). As we wandered North on Hughson Street approaching the intersection with Cannon St, The sun was really lighting up the brilliant green walls of a local business, Active Green & Ross which specializes in tires as well as doing general automotive repairs. The crisp green paint job is part of the corporate image and is really hard to miss. And we didn’t. I spotted a car parked adjacent to the wall and decided to capture the green in the hard light, reflected in the car’s paint and glass resulting in a green and black composition. - JW
