Green Acres sounds like an ideal place but names can be misleading. To a passerby, this farm’s green and yellow fields look inviting as they spread out in southern Kern County CA. Green Acres Farm is a 4,688 acre farm owned by Los Angeles and managed by Responsible Biosolids Management. Los Angeles County began disposing of its sewage sludge by applying it to farmland at Green Acres in 1994 and purchased the farm in 2000. The farm grows wheat, corn, and alfalfa, which is mostly fed to dairy cattle.
Until 1987, Los Angeles dumped its sewage sludge in the ocean. Once that practice was banned, L.A. began disposing of its sludge on landfills and farms. "The city bought Green Acres Farm in 2000 for $9.6 million and then spent $35 million to upgrade its sewage treatment system" to produce Class A Biosolids. Following the Green Acres purchase, Los Angeles began sending 750 tons per day in 28 trucks to Green Acres, a 120 mile trip. On June 6, 2006, 85% of Kern County voters voted to ban sludge application in Kern County. However court hearings and rulings ensued. As of 2020 the courts and the state have not, as of yet, let the ban take effect.

There's something different about you
I see God's love in your heart
And He's making you shine
There's something different about you
Your whole world seems so brand new
You got God's love in your heart
One of my lovely followers asked for pictures in my satin dressing again, how could I refuse. Hope you all enjoy?

Another Danboard, I used a 200 mm lens. It's the same drawing and same small piece of paper than PvsC 38 (below), but it's another photo. I placed it in a different environment...
I titled it "Something in Common" because in French "leaf" and "sheet" are both named "feuille"... I also wanted to suggest an opposition between technology (the tiny robot) and nature (the leaf). Nature is everywhere, the robot is a fictive representation. Magritte might have said: "this is not a robot", it's only an image of it... =)
Thanks for your feedbacks.

Ben's Imaginary Friend
A poem by Katie Gabrielle
Wake up
And you will see
My imaginary friend
sleeping next to me
Made of paper
And of ink
knows every
Single little thought
that I think
Out the door
A brand new day
Imaginary friend
come out and play
Winter, Spring, Summer Fall
Imaginary friend
Drives me up the wall
Little square head
Don't you know
Look both ways at the cross walk
Before you go
Yellow Red and Green
Imaginary friend
Crosses and makes a scene
on a very rare ocasion you put a photo on your screen and when you see it you think ...."this is the one" ........as the original title ....something special
it ozzzzzes quality ... that happened to me with this one ...and it's not even a rose.....
So I bought this arch angel armor prototype panel, pretty nice deal from a friend. For those who don't know, this is a custom design done by a guy who prototypes a lot of EI, paraclete and safariland gear. I believe this panel is something like 1/10 in woodland marpat. Something you won't see on mass markets.

There is something that I see
In the way you look at me
There's a smile, there's a truth in your eyes
But an unexpected way
On this unexpected day
Could it mean this is where I belong
It is you I have loved all along
It's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
You're the home my heart searched for so long
And it is you I have loved all along
There were times I ran to hide
Afraid to show the other side
Alone in the night without you
But now I know just who you are
And I know you hold my heart
Finally this is where I belong
It is you I have loved all along
It's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
You're the home my heart searched for so long
And it is you I have loved all along
Over and over
I'm filled with emotion
Your love, it rushes through my veins
And I am filled
With the sweetest devotion
As I, I look into your perfect face
It's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
You're the home my heart searched for so long
And it is you I have loved
It is you I have loved
It is you I have loved all along

WIT
These are three of my childhood things I still have. The teddy bear was given to me as a baby, and the other things (car toy and book clock) when I was three. I tried all sorts of set ups today and settled on this. Very little in pp except a crop and little contrast.

Something blue(ish).... no, I'm not getting married, yet. This is another dress borrowed from my girlfriend. It's another that'll be on eBay soon. I still can't get over my hair. Lockdown is shit, but the no hairdresser rule has really given me time to grow it out and experiment. I'm also still buzzed that it's still not grey. 50 soon and still a good shade of brown. I used to be bleach blonde, but that was a long, long time ago now.

ABOUT THIS PIECE
...and Pony got something.
Trees at Inch, Aberdeenshire, with Photoshop Sky Replacement to introduce something attractive to this gloomy image. (The original intention was to B & W the added sky, but as you can see that did not happen) Not sure I love it, certainly don't hate it. What do you think? Thank you for looking in.
