Even in the bathroom, you experience stylish comfort — in travertine and marble, with glass tile accents.
Having had a quick drink stop at Harden, Powerhouse Museum's 3265 and LVRs 4903 get underway through Cunnigar with the transfer back hom from Junee
you may need this tomorrow! Another wonderful display of refreshing goodies in Barcelona market, off La Rambla

On this capture, I was drawn to the light shining on the patron inside. This looked like it would be a good black and white image with the contrast of the dark exterior and the light illuminating the people inside. What's even cooler is the sign on the door that says "Refresh Responsibly". This coupled with a quick gulp from his Miller Lite makes a good juxtaposition capture.

A little sign of life from me, it's been a while again. Hope everyone's fine out there! :)
This is one of 3 sneak peeks of Kasumi with her new Face up I did some time ago. It was the third try on her and definitely the best result I had for her since then, when you ask me. I totally love it and I'm much satisfied, what's definitely rare for me. XD *lol* My most favourite part of her is the lip blushing with the two-toned lip lines (white and brown colored). It was a kind of little experiment with the lip lines and I'm fully happy with how it came out. <333 *love*
I know she definitely looks much different than before, she looks much more naturally now with a tiny bit more colors. Also she got another style this time for this pictures for some reasons, but she's still herself and that's the main important thing for me. :)
Hope you'll like Kasumis new look, too! <333

iced tea...i love it all year long
so many of my wonderful flickr friends are recording their daily pleasures or YIP, and it is very inspiring to me. i enjoy seeing those shots so much! while i'd probably crack from the pressure of a daily shot, i love the idea of capturing that part of life. so, i'm starting a new set "it's the little things", and am going to try focusing more on those things in my life that make me happy and grateful.
thanks to all of you for your inspiration, and making me slow down to look for those moments!
I thought these little drinks were so cute I couldn't resist getting some but the kids are anxious to drink them and of course I got them for pictures!108/365

Flickr friend have a great SUNDAY
Thursday 27 October 2011 - Day 06 - Trek Sete (2,575m / 8,448ft) to Junbesi (2,700m / 8,858ft) via the Lamjura La (3,530m / 11,581ft)
The day dawned clear and bright, which made for a lovely ongoing ascent. Not long after leaving Sete we passed yesterday's donkey train, loading up with gaz bottles at the farm where they'd spent the night. As we climbed the fields gave way to alpine forest - rhododendrons and pines, mani walls and moss.
Every now and then the path broadened out into a collection of houses and simple lodges-cum-teahouses, set around a paved courtyard. From the lodge at Dagchu (where there was a thick frost on the tables) we got good views of Numbur to the north and as we climbed towards Goyom it felt like we were levelling up with the twin peaks of Pike peak. Looking back we had fine views of Deurali with the route down to Bhandar and onwards through the string of farmhouses clear to see. Every now and then we'd be overtaken by speedier uphill trekkers, including the English chaps from yesterday, and a dreadlocked pair of Kiwis. But we'd find ourselves passing them at rest stops and viewpoints.
At Goyom we stopped in a teahouse to try butter tea, as mum and daughters kneaded, rolled out and cooked the day's chapattis. Climbing onwards we met our first yak (or more likely a Dzo at this low-for-yaks altitude), duly adorned with a Tihar marigold, and our first patches of snow. Contouring along the rhododendron-shaded north side of the ridge towards the lodges at Lamjura, the snow had compacted to ice, which made for slow going to avoid slipping over, and we fell into step with the English gents.
Refreshed by al fresco elevenses (tea and Mars bars) at Lamjura (3,330m / 10,925ft) we all continued onwards along the ridge, past the circular and square mani walls and the Namgyal stupa built by Mr Tsering Sherpa of the Lamjura Sherpa Guest House and then up to the pass itself.
Plenty of time for photos to mark the crossing of the Lamjura La (3,530m / 11,581ft), with the small twin prop planes that shuttle between Kathmandu and Lukla skimming the pass - not quite low enough for us to see the passengers but the Agni Air, Yeti Air, Tara Air etc livery was crystal clear. At foot level, beautiful blue alpine Gentians.
And then downhill... lots of it... through forest and then out into farmland ... and a long wait for lunch as the family running the teahouse where Daa Waa had planned to stop had shut up shop for festival time. Instead, in the village of Taktok (2,680m / 9,383ft), he found a local teahouse where we were cooked tasty Dal Bhat, from scratch, which allowed plenty of time to stroll back along the path to take another look at the inscribed boulder and new (closed) gompa.
It took us another hour or so to reach Junbesi, mostly on the flat as the river continued to drop below us. We passed beneath a large rocky outcrop, decorated with giant Om Mani Padme Hum, and shortly afterwards turned north and got our first sight of the day's destination, Junbesi (2,700m / 8,858ft), nestled on the banks of the Junbesi Khola in the valley below. Above us, the monastery at Serlo loomed large.
Junbesi was the largest place we'd seen since Shivalaya, and there were plenty of lodges. Daa Waa settled on the Apple Garden Guest House, which provided a lovely large bedroom, and free electricity. Perfect for recharging batteries human and camera.
After tea and biscuits in the dining room, and a photo shoot for Daa Waa featuring him and a strangely stuffed Red Panda, before Daa Waa asked us to accompany him on his quest to find the headmaster of the village school in order to hand over accumulated donations from Mountain Legends - a substantial wodge of notes.
We returned to the lodge as night fell, and were greeted by the lovely sight of candles set out on each of the steps of the stairs up to the bedrooms. In the time between dusk and dinner we indulged in a hot shower - this time with plenty of water. Bliss.
After dinner in the stove warmed dining room the TV was turned on and we watched BBC World coverage of the floods in Bangkok, an earthquake in Turkey and another deal in the Euro financial crisis (to bail out Greece). It always feels odd to have these occasional dollops of big news when I'm away from it all.
It would have been nice to have had longer in Junbesi, and a few of the independent trekkers we met did spend a rest day there, exploring the local attractions and doing washing. I'd certainly plan to do that if I ever return to this lovely part of the world.

I realized I hadn't quite shown Guórén/Jinsuke's refreshed faceup head-on, have I?
Coupled with those eyes that can appear fierce or gentle depending on the situation, he now looks like the Lion Clan half-gaijin bushi that he is.
