. .Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin, With your heartbeat, Next to mine . . .
Few balloons made it up with the strong winds that were experienced, but this "virgin" did.
As I look through my images from the balloon festival I see I've got more good'uns than I thought I had . . but I'll vary my stream, there's only so much hot air we can put up with at any one time . . .
Monday, already, have a great week.

"I had no idea what I was starting." ~ Roger Neilson (June 16, 1934 - June 21, 2003)
It all started in Québec City on March 18, 1982. The Canucks and Nordiques were in a tight game and not surprisingly, Tiger Williams planted an opponent into the glass. A brawl broke out at the Canucks bench and a fan reached around the glass and poked Tiger in the face. In return, Canucks Head Coach Harry Neale went to help Tiger and poked the fan in face. Neale was suspended for 10 games.
Assistant Coach Roger Neilson took over the team. Surprising everyone, the Canucks didn't lose another game, earning an improbable playoff spot. Harry Neale was so impressed he let Neilson keep coaching.
In the playoffs, the Canucks cut right through the Flames and Kings, losing only a single game. But in Game 2 against the Blackhawks, the Canucks went down 4-1 and the team was given five straight penalties. Tiger suggested throwing their sticks on the ice but Neilson said "I've done that… let's surrender." He raised a stick, put a white towel on top, and waved it back and forth. Three other players joined and all four were promptly kicked out.
When the Canucks returned to Vancouver for Game 3, Neilson was shocked to see the fans – all around the Pacific Coliseum – waving their towels.
"Towel Power" was born. A timeless Canucks playoff tradition, it has been copied across the National Hockey League ever since.

(Note: The Vancouver Canucks would go on to win the series and reach the Stanley Cup Final in 1982.)

Taken for Our Daily Challenge 3: 10 STEPS, the topic for Tuesday January 3
and MSH "Shiny and New"
My family celebrated New Year's Eve with a glassblowing lesson; this is one of my husband's classwork pieces.
Jim, our tutor, made this a memorable experience. He taught and shepherded and two paperweights, two ornaments and a bowl were the outcome of the lesson.
The two pieces my husband made came home with us Saturday. I put this one in my new lightbox, which is...10 steps away from my desk.
(The challenge topic: "The idea of this topic is to help us recognize the photographic opportunities that surround us no matter where we may be. The object is to take 10 steps (I'll leave it to you to decide the starting point as in 10 steps outside your front door or 10 steps from your favourite chair) and look for something of interest to photograph right there.")
My hydrangeas are starting to leaf out....they were here when I bought this house and line the entire back fence, many of them are taller than I am....by June they will flower, an other worldly blue hue....their blooming has symbolized the transition from spring to summer for me since I've lived here. :-)
So here we are. The end of a very mixed year. Good bye 2011. I'm glad to see you go, and I shall miss you deeply.
Happy New Year my treasured HPADers, thank you for your support, your words, and your inspiration. I've loved PAD 2011 and am excited about PAD 2012. See you all on the other side!

11/16/06 - New Camera
Yay! I've been having lots of fun with it today and pretty soon I'll start actually uploading photos I've taken with it. I'm giving my old camera a last hurrah so to speak! :)
I'm really digging the new camera and can't wait until tomorrow when I can actually get out and really put it to the test!
for Monthly Scavenger Hunt. I got new tires put on my car today. These were on display in the waiting room.
