There was a brief respite from all the rain we have had a couple of days ago.
I made the most of the respite heading out along the seafront with the camera. There were plenty of other people about & lots of dogs too.
This dog was paying close attention to something along the seafront. He was trying to focus on someone in the distance, but I don't know if he was a bit short sighted from the way he was squinting.
We noticed Jasper squinting a bit the last week and his right eye was watering more than normal and excessive eye boogers on his right eye (left on this photo). So yesterday my wife took him to the vet and it turns out he has a wart that's grown UNDER his eyelid. No wonder his eye has been watering. My wife saw it and said it looked like a sea urchin, all pointy and nasty. So tomorrow Jasper goes in for a wart-ectomy. The doc did a prelim test and said it didn't seem to be cancerous, but of course we'll have it biopsied. Poor guy. No food after 6PM tonight. Please send him happy, positive vibes Wednesday. Posting early For 52 weeks this week because I'm leaving for Asia on Saturday, back the following Saturday in time to post for next week :) Regardless of the sad look here, he's still very happy and normal. My wife on the other hand takes on all the worry and tension

Squint, means to look with the eyes partly closed. It may also refer to:
Squint, a commonly used alternative name for the medical condition, strabismus.
or
Squint, an alternative name for a hagioscope, in architecture.
A hagioscope or squint, in architecture, is an opening through the wall of a church in an oblique direction, to enable the worshippers in the transepts or other parts of the church, from which the altar was not visible, to see the elevation of the host.
Hagioscopes were also sometimes known as "leper windows" wherein a squint was made in an external wall so that lepers and other non-desirables could see the service without coming into contact with the rest of the populace.

I probably ruined my sister’s bridal party photos by squinting in every single shot. The photographer had the bride and her attendants pose in the middle of an open, golden field in direct sunlight. I’m sure the light was lovely for photographs, but my eyes just couldn’t bear it. If only we could have all worn matching sunglasses.
For my outfit photos, I have no one to please but myself, so I can stand in the shade and wear dark glasses.
Vest, AC-3998 (cut from a thrifted jacket). Shirt, Disney. Skirt, Carole Little (thrifted). Boots, Vince Camuto (consignment). Sunglasses, Coco Sunglasses. Earrings, vintage. Bag, Aldo.
I try to avoid the squints without sunglasses by posing under cover and looking at the ground, but I still look pained by sunlight.
Was trying to figure out what I'd take a photo of today... really wasn't inspired by anything... I thought about taking photos of the snow outside, but am already getting sick and don't need the cold to push me over the edge. So decided to do a quick self portrait... and then didn't really like any. Oh well... ended up going back to do close ups of my eyes... not my favorite photo but more striking than the full self-portrait

Make a picture entirely for yourself.

Sorry Rayna, I didn’t even try for you...
New NuFace Rayna dropped over the weekend. She’s gorgeous. I gasped. I squinted. I realize she’s basically a fresh, modern, sleek, (admittedly more gorgeous,) version of the same flavor of Tilda Brisby that I already LOVE and own! (Rayna’s green eyes though!)
I didn’t even try for Rayna or Alejandra (who is also: just gorgeous!) I knew it would be either Luck or War to get them. I have a lot of dolls coming including a Rayna already, lots of exclusives to be released in the future as well. I’m looking forward to see what they do with Alejandra Luna next!
Here is my homage to Pretty Reckless Rayna:
Glamhead Tilda Brisby!😹
Tilda Brisby wearing a look I hastily put together with things I already had, or made quickly like the skirt. (Skirt was almost a five-minute cut-and-sew except for those grommets!😹) Giant white grommets because that’s all I had close to scale, but I think they work. The lacing on the skirt can be changed to any color.

. . . it could just be Crosville.
Another shot of freshly released Bristol Lodekka EOO 590 at work on the Bala Lake Railway's steam gala free shuttle last weekend. The bus had been new to Eastern National but for the purposes of its entering the Welsh village of Llanuwchllyn here, it takes on a slight Crosville feel.
Vintage mid-Fifties pseudo twin lens reflex fixed-focus box camera, photographed in a storefront window on High Street in Mineral Point, WI. I took my first photos with a box camera -- though not this one -- and they always evoke in me a warm and fuzzy feeling of nostalgia for a time when photography was just pure magic and constant discovery (which, actually, it still is).
Seems strange to be photographing it with a smaller "box" that's also a phone, computer and "record" player, among other things.
Interesting name. Was the Herbert George Company that made and marketed the camera aware of what happens to the word "FLICK" when you glance at it quickly and squint your eye? The other word that it turns into? I suspect they were, the sly devils.
