This little teddy is having trouble staying awake! He's made by Sara of 'A Little Sprout' and Lyric's dress is by Jenny of 'I Can't Dance'
Sorry I'm a bit absent lately and haven't done another blog post...'real life' getting in the way! Hope everyone who is still on Flickr...I am finding it quite hard to work out if things are just quiet or everyone has gone over completely to ipernity....much catch up with everyone's photostreams today!
Becoming someone else while remaining yourself. (Not physically.)
I first tried this in tritone... but decided original b&w was better. Kept it a bit grey-ish.
Sounds like an oxymoron... Someone's been influenced (in so many ways) by the beer they prefer. Surfer's Point area, Ventura, CA
Someone at Plaxtons sat down and designed this coach body, underneath the bulbous bodywork is a perfectly innocent Austin K4, just to prove it the radiator slats form a giant 'A'. I suspect it looked even worse in colour as it wore the Lloyd-Jones Bros livery of brown and fawn proving once and for all you can paint a turd.
Aberystwyth station car park has a fine selection of cars ranging from the new Ford Cortina to a lovely Hillman Minx in two-tone paintwork
NWB 501 was an Austin K4 with Plaxton Envoy FC32F body, it was new to Littlewood of Sheffield in June 1951.

This rock looks, to me, just like somebody's cheeks and nose sticking out of the water, and there were these big holes in the rocks that looked like nostrils, and every time the waves came through the holes it was like the rock was sneezing/had a runny nose. I was constantly laughing like a little adolescent child. I think, looking at a map, this is the Elephant Rock, but to me it will always be Kleenex Rock hahahaha
Em đã đi một chặng đường rất dài và rất xa.
Để tìm kiếm một cái gì đó mơ hồ, để tìm kiếm một người mang cho em hạnh phúc.
Ôi ơn trời, bây giờ thì anh đang đứng đây, ngay trước mặt em.
Cứ như tìm được đường về qua nụ cười của anh vậy!
Anh yêu, dù ngay trong vòng tay anh ghì chặt, em cũng cảm thấy vô cùng tự do.
Vô cùng mạnh mẽ, vì em biết chỉ có thể là anh mới ghì chặt em như thế…
Dù thế giới này có sụp đổ, có xoay vòng thì cũng không sao.
Vì khi ở bên anh, em biết và chắc chắn em vẫn sẽ ổn, vì anh sẽ bảo vệ em, đúng không?
Anh này, em thích đôi mắt của anh, cái cách anh nhìn em, chúng nói cho em biết tất cả mọi thứ về anh.
Sự yêu thương, hạnh phúc, tức giận cũng như thất vọng.
Và nó cũng nói lên rằng, anh là người duy nhất dành cho em.
Và em yêu hơn cái cách anh quan tâm, cái cách anh lo lắng, cái chạm nhẹ, nụ hôn sâu dài, và sự dịu dàng trong giận dữ của anh.
Đúng là em đã tìm thấy đúng người,
Dù anh không phải là người đã làm em yêu ngay từ buổi đầu tiên.
Nhưng yêu anh, vẫn mãi không thay đổi <3

The saying “all knees and elbows” is often attributed to someone who has yet to mature or fully grow into their frame. Nature, likewise, goes through a similar stage in spring when the forest has yet to mature into its summer greens and much of what you see is all branches and mud and chaos. This can be a huge challenge during the seasonal shift for landscape photographers considering one of the primary goals of the craft is to reduce nature’s chaos and confusion into one, easily readable, so-called “clean” frame, free from distractions. Being somewhat naturally inclined to question guidelines and to gently poke at their limits, I often shoot scenes that I know at the moment of capture are not going to be received well by those who find comfort in the well-worn confines of the sandbox or who otherwise like to position themselves as the gatekeepers to the status quo. Most of my attempts in this vain are failures, rightfully so, but fun nonetheless. Some, on the other hand, come out personally satisfying, although still largely rejected by the critics and powers that be who stand between an image and its ability to reach market. This photograph is one that appears to be falling into the latter category.
The Occoquan Stream Valley accessed via the Occoquan-Bull Run National Recreational Trail comes alive in the spring season with Virginia Bluebells, a seasonal ephemeral wildflower that paints the forest floor with a carpet of blues and light pink hues. Being an ephemeral though, these guys have to sneak in before the canopy leafs out and steals all of the sunshine from the forest floor. By late May these flowers are all but completely gone, like an illusion, only to return again next spring. Thus, when the Bluebells poke through the ground in early spring much of the surrounding environment is scraggly branches, ample boot-sucking mud, and otherwise nature’s awkward early-season “knees and elbows.” Macro opportunities abound for the small-scene inclined, but contextual landscapes are complicated at best. A few things I learned this season, my first concertedly chasing a few photographs of these wildflowers: my initial thought that overcast and calm weather would provide the most optimal conditions for getting a pop of color were somewhat misguided. I found that late evening or early morning sun on a clear day made for the most dramatic spring scenic, as looking into the light provided for beautiful backlit spring green leaves. Once I thought about this it made perfect sense: sunlight is the driver of spring growth and thus an essential element in any composition that speaks towards the story of the season. However, any light on the bluebells would cause blowouts with exposure and thus, I went in search for late evening light that would make the newly minted spring green understory dance, while also being at such an angle as to mostly shade the delicate bluebells to maintain an even single-exposure. This proved to be a strategy that I continued to follow at both sun-up and sun-down for several days with mild to moderate success.
The resultant shot, what you see above/below, has been confirmed thus far by the critics and gatekeepers as poor composition and of little value to the commercial photography market. However, I find it honest and authentic to the chaos that is spring, and thus, for me personally, a satisfying take-away from a week of shooting. It could certainly be better, but then again, what photograph have you ever really taken that couldn’t be improved?
Have a wonderful weekend folks! Get outside if you can and enjoy the season!

With the low winds, cold temps, and some ice forming near the shore, the lake off North Beach was reflecting more than usual.

Shots from the abandoned KL Art Gallery. The light on the staircase looks really surreal to me. I have been addicted to overlay and cross processing lately. ..always wanted to do it for a long time.
Someone posted this on Facebook. This party was held by Renate Druks and Paul Mathison, and famously inspired Kenneth Anger’s film ‘Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome’.

Sorry there weren't any pretty pots or flowers, but I did rather like what I saw :)

When I see someone wearing a cute outfit that I'd love to wear, a "hobby" of mine kicks in... "hunting" online to find the exact same outfit... at a ridiculously low price!
I found the Jeggings on sale for $10 and FINALLY (after 4 years) found the same tunic at an online consignment store... for $3!
Yay!
