Last Friday, I spent a very hot summer evening at the Botanical Garden of Georgia, which is only about 5 miles from my house. It's always worth a trip, but this summer, the Garden is especially lush, with all the rain we had.
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
On a 90+ degree day like today, who doesn't need a glass of something/anything on ice.

This is not a HDR image. Wanted to try out digital blending and I like it. I've also done this through normal HDR processing using Photomatix but I think I like the digitally blended image far better.
Hope you like it as much as I do!
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
Looking like it had some new paint put on it recently, UP 5310 leads a westbound stack train past the Rochelle Railroad Park in Rochelle, IL.
I sent this yesterday, so there's a couple of changes... He's now 3#'s 1oz, they put him back on the C-Pap this morning and we're waiting for the results for some blood tests and a chest x-ray to see if there's a reason for his breathing episodes like infection. We will see...
Sorry for taking so long to send out this update, I mean to everyday and then life just gets so busy...
Jack is doing well, last Sunday he had to be put back on the C-pap or larger respirator and yesterday when I went in they had him back on the nasal canula and got the settings just right so he hadn't had any monitor events since 4 pm yesterday he did have 1 small one this morning but that is normal.
The neurosurgeon says all is going well with the shunt and the ultrasounds are coming back showing it's all good. The beginning of the week they did an EEG or a brain scan to see if he was having seizures, I am pleased to say that his brain is all normal immature preemie activity no seizures here. They upped his caffeine level since he's growing so well. Right now we are waiting for him to gain weight so we can get him all fixed up. When they go in the reconnect the intestines he will also have to get a hernia fixed, but I guess that is norm for most preemie boys. End of last week they took him for an upper GI to make sure there were no stops in his intestines and everything flowed through they were pleased. When they did this they gave him an enema to get him to poop like normal and it all came out well :) He'll be 33 weeks on Monday, the nurse last night said at 33 or 34 weeks they will start trying to bottle feed him slowly. They put a hold on his feeds so was at 6mls an hour yesterday they upped it to 7. He was off the Lipids and TPN or protein water for about 4 days after the shunt surgery and they put him back on it to give him more calories, They had also started giving him an oil with his feedings and putting fortifier in my milk for him. He's now gaining significant and steady weight so I am assuming they will take him off the TPN and lipids soon as those go through a pick line/main IV that they want to take off him soon. I am pleased to announce that last night he hit his 3# mark, so in 9 oz probably 9 days time he will be at the weight the Dr's originally said for the surgery. We still haven't heard if he will need a permanent shunt yet, I am praying not but we will see. We are still looking at him coming home mid to end of Sept depending on the surgeries. I think that is everything in a nutshell, the roller coaster ride is still running and turning my hair grey but everything is turning out great and I am so thankful to everyone for your prayers and thoughts and for God for listening and answering!!!
Isabelle is doing well, she's in a program for the rest of the summer for reading and getting tutoring for Math since the Math program was at the same times and days and the reading, just so she's all refreshed for when she gets back, she loves both so much. I can't believe school starts in 3 short weeks. She's growing up and maturing so fast, she loves her brother and can't wait to hold him, she's not allowed to touch him until Aug 22nd because she got a mild case of the chicken pox over 2 weeks ago, so she's going crazy but at least she is allowed in there to see him 2x's a week. She's had a very busy summer, she went up north with my parents for a week and in 2 weeks when her program is over she may go back up again for the week before school starts. She a regular fish, took her to the beach the other day and decided she was going to swim, I was so proud of her, she had lessons last year and I've been trying to teach her for 4 years now and all of a sudden she's swimming, My BFF's son's goggles are what did the trick. But she was really good at it and I am so very proud of her. That's her in a nutshell too... she'll be in the 2nd grade this year and turning 8 in Nov. where the heck does time go.
As for Paul and me... We're hanging in there, Paul's business is doing well, Praise God. A few weeks agi his sciatic nerve decided to be a pain, took him a couple of days out of commision but he was fine until he drove up to Grayling to meet my parents and get Isabelle, was out of commission last weekend and went back to the Dr to find it's a pinched nerve and he has really high blood pressure, He's doing great now with the pinched nerve and the BP is great with the meds. So he is doing well. Me... I'm just taking it day by day and sometimes moment to moment. We've had a lot of little stuff happen to us like washers and fridges and dishwashers dying and yesterday was rear ended but it was not bad, there was no outside damage but seems to thrown the car's doors out of alignment so they are stinking but God is good noone got hurt and we've been able to replace the appliances for little cost, except the dishwasher so I am doing thast by hand right now :( There's been other small stuff but I can't complain the major stuff is what is going well and that is what matters... What's a few more grey hairs?
Yesterday, my cat knocked my external hard drive over and broke the motor, so I still have my files but I can't get at them it's going to cost between $700 and $1400 just to retrieve my files, so it's gonna be a while before I get my files, so if I am putting a lot of pics on from now on I apologize this will end up being my back up for a while... The last 7 years of my life in pictures, work and music and digital scrapbooking are all on there...
Well thanks again for all the prayers, we do so appreciate it. God is good that is for sure and He surrounds us by His grace daily!!!
TODAY'S UPDATE TO THE UPDATE
Today the update changed, he's now 3#'s 1 oz and had to go back on the C-Pap as he needs a blood transfusion so they started it and may have an infection so they are giving him antibiotics and his mucous fistula that is under the colostomy bag has a yeast infection but they are giving him prescription strength cream for that. So he's sleeping and they are letting him rest today.

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.
a photo I took to illustrate an article for a very good friend's blog.
It's called "les carnets de Dorothée" :

Kim's assignment today...choose one word, and work a photo around it.
I love 're' words. They are like a second chance!
And REFRESH can lead to many new starts.
Photo taken at a local waterfall, Kim's texture 'plaster' was added, along with a few edits.

Vale of Rheidol Railway nos. 7 and 8 set off from Nantyronen after taking on water. [Pole, 2/6 sections (~2.7m)]
This was taken on the last day of the David Williams / Bob Branch "Welsh Narrow Gauge Extravaganza" twelve-day photo charter, which visited several narrow gauge railways in Wales. I'd booked on the last two days, on the Vale of Rheidol Railway; sadly, the weather was overcast both days, with significant spells of light rain and drizzle.
The passenger stock was actually being used to transport the photographers between locations, the main purpose of the charter being to photograph the freight (on this day hauled by ex-SAR "Garrett" no. 60) - but we also photographed the passenger train at most locations, and two locos were used with a slightly lengthened rake today.

Shot it at Gangasagar Fair .Gangasagar Mela is the largest fair celebrated in West Bengal (INDIA). This fair is held where the Ganga and the Bay of Bengal form a nexus. Hence the name Gangasagar Mela. This festival is celebrated during January every year and is a major attraction for millions of pilgrims from all over India.
The pilgrims come for a holy dip on Makar Sankranti (last day of the Bengali Month) Negha -Mid January. They take dips in the Ganges and offer water to the Sun God. The dip, as they say, purifies their 'self' and according to them, 'punya' can be obtained thus. When they are done with the ritual obligations, they head towards the Kapilmuni Temple situated nearby, to worship the deity as a mark of respect......
