Kalannie
Wheatbelt- Western Australia
I attended the recent WAPF event, held on the outskirts of the wheatbelt at Kalannie. I headed down to this drainage ditch, where I had to stand through a brief bit of rain. It was well worth the 5min of wet, because straight after the rain, the sun came out with some amazing light! This combined with the rain brought out the incredible colours that this region is known for!
Nice simple scene, but something still draws me strongly to it. Haven't quite worked it out yet myself haha. So hopefully you'll help me out on that side of things :-)

This is one of my favorite pictures. Last time we were in Morocco, it was the hottest I have ever been in my life. There was Sidi Ali bottled water everywhere, and it seemed to me like the best and most refreshing thing.
To see this sign, for the same bottled water in the snow just cracked me up.

It's Saturday morning, November 1, 2008... the last days of this election campaign, some are feeling worn out and are concerned to say they just can't give anymore... then there is an event like today that was so different, so refreshing and invigorating... Danny Devito, Rhea Perlman and Jon "Bowzer" Bauman toured Southeast Florida venues, encouraging people to vote early for Barack Obama, for people to get out the early vote for Barack Obama and to get out the vote on election day itself for Barack Obama. What was really amazing was that Devito, Perlman and Bowzer ended their events by actually driving people to the polls to vote if they had identified themselves as not having voted yet. So, after leaving the Cocowood Lakes Clubhouse, the carpool rock-n-rolled all the way to the early voting polls at the Public Library on Hagan Ranch Road in Delray Beach.
Standing at 4' 1", Danny DeVito is ten feet tall in my book. He is an actor, director and producer, that we all may best know him from his character, Louie De Palma, on the TV series, "Taxi". You've also seen him in wonderful films like, "Romancing the Stone", "The Jewel of the Nile", "Ruthless People", "Throw Mama From the Train", "War of the Roses", "Other People's Money", "Tin Men", "Twins", "Junior", "Batman Returns", "Renaissance Man", "The Rainmaker", "The Big Kahuna" and his appearnaces on Saturday Night Live. Right now Danny plays the character Frank Reynolds, in the hysterical sitcom "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" on FX which once you take a look at, you'll have so much fun that you'll be hooked. Danny DeVito is also an outspoken Democrat and supporter of the OneVoice Movement, a non-profit organization that strives to empower moderate Israelis and Palestinians to take a more assertive role in resolving their conflict.
Rhea Perlman, an active and outspoken Democrat, has received ten Emmy Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series "Cheers", winning the Emmy four times. She starred in the sitcom "Pearl" and was featured in the TV drama "Kate Brasher". Rhea played Jacqueline Kennedy in the TV film "How to Marry a Billionaire: A Christmas Tale", the character Honey in the hilarious film "Canadian Bacon", the grumpy shopkeeper in "Packin It In" and she also played opposite her real-life husband Danny DeVito in the film "Matilda". Right now you can see Rhea Perlman in the role of Bertha in the West End of London, in the comedy "Boeing Boeing".
Jon "Bowzer" Bauman was a recognizable member of the group Sha Na Na, singing barritone as he taunted the audiences while flexing his muscles. Bauman currently tours extensively with his group, Bowzer and the Stingrays, performing at fairs, amusement parks, cruise ships and conventions all over the world. They currently headline "Bowzer's Ultimate Doo-Wop Party."
Talk about inspirational... this event was so out of the ordinary and so special because these incredible celebrities took so much of their time and made so much of an effort to convince undecided voters to get up and go with them to the polls and cast their vote for Barack Obama.
Murrieta's newest McDonald's is now open! This McDonald's it seemed opened on Wednesday December 11th in Murrieta's California Oaks Road area, across the street from both Shivela Middle School and Cal Oaks Sports Park!
A closer look at a vase of flowers that was next to the soda fountain, it seems it was a gift to the restaurant to celebrate the opening, it was actually very charming!
Crossing the outlet of Hanakapi'ai Falls. About 10 minutes later, it was pouring rain for a half hour straight as we continued up the trail
Afternoon tea in the Fireside Room at the Sorrento used to be a standard part of the holiday. But somehow the tradition slipped away. This year I decided to create my own version.
I took this picture in August 1991 - 20 years ago - in Bauline Harbour, Newfoundland, Canada
I re-scanned it recently for use in an exhibition and decided to upload it to my Flickr stream. It had originally been in my other photostream

I am not quite sure what these guys were doing in the lake, but after a long day at Sagain and Ava, I was tempted to join them.
