A confusing period in the Tellings Golden Miller story. The associated fleets of V&M Coaches/Hills of Grendon, Warwickshire, were taken over by Midland Fox at the start of 1991 and a new O licence was obtained in the Tellings Golden Miller name. The TGM colours were also adopted as shown on Leyland Tiger TRCTL11/3R Plaxton Supreme IV DJI 2517 in Brighton on 15th August, 1992. This coach had been new to Harris of Bromsgrove as GNP 111X.

She is very expressive with her eyes and she was telling me that she wanted some of my Jambalaya. As always I gave her some of what I had.
Myanmar demonstration. The country is in a very bad state, and needs new and more progressive politicians.
March 2022 - I keep telling myself it's time to trim back the nails but instead I let my nails grow to ever longer lengths. Is that a sign of an addiction?

The Louvre is not a place you want to get lost in - the place is built like a maze! I managed to get lost in there even with an audio guide telling me the directions and it drove me nuts.
Danny is a good story teller! (and a good gesticulator!);
And here, he is clearly telling something dramatic!
Maybe something a bit cheeky!
Or doubtful!
I like the way I caught it so you can’t see his eyes,
and his expressive gestures;
so we really don’t know what is going on between these two dirty rascals!
My third installment of favourite photos and images from around Flickr, taking it up to 300 gorgeous and inspiring images in total now. VIEW LARGE
Thank you to everyone included here and in the previous two, and everyone whose works I have admired but maybe not favourited here.
This version includes a lot of images which I may not have marked as a favourite on first sight, but when viewed along with their story, became that bit more special to me (for example those below). Also ones that meant something to the personal story of my life.
"…I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference" (Robert Frost, 1916).
With the Keszthely Mountains to the WNW and a thunderstorm approaching, a farm road passes through rich farmland–a Carpathian English Walnut tree (Juglans regia "Carpathian") and grape vines on the right and corn (maize) on the left.

Signed my new employment papers today. Am now a fully fledged employee of a support service, er, service where my primary role will be telling everyone else where to go. That's right. Insert evil laugh here.
On arrival at Weybourne, I was pleased to find the 103 year old loco still in the station, as station staff chat to the driver of newly rebuilt Worsdell GER 'Y14' 0-6-0 no.564, as the former J15 stands in Weybourne Station waiting for the right of way to Sheringham.
was on my way to work this morning, i noticed this couple building their house ...
the place seemed to me little risky, if the water goes high...but what do i know?! They know better...
the shot is simple, i didn't like to disturb them and get closer...but i was wondering what are those genes telling these animals what to build how to build where to build??? I was amazed by the ability of the swan picking up reed and trying to cut others ...nature is amazing!

If I am honest I have to admit that often I look in the mirror and want to change what I see. I am affected by what the world says is beautiful. Tonight I watched this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=321Kb8pBu5s&NR=1 I am reminded that I need to believe the truth and not the lies...if I don't believe that I am beautiful the way God made me, she will not believe it either...I look at her and I think she is the most beautiful girl ever! I guess I shouldn't forget that she is minnie me :)
For those of you not in the Toy Sunday group, the theme this week was "Tin". So you can see why Nimmie is mad.
To my defense, I *was* spending most of last week working on my quarter final...but I don't think telling Nimmie that will do any good.
My visit home to Iowa was far too short. I've only seen my niece Alaina a handful of times since she's been born, so it's like meeting a new person each time. This time, though, she had no trouble remembering my that my name was "Aunt Danielle" (after the initial introduction). We did have to work on the basics, though... after she protested because I had the camera pointed at her, I had to explain that holding cameras and pointing them at people was just something her Aunt Danielle did and that I couldn't stop. She seemed more accepting after that... as though she respected it as a personal problem. I even let her take an image using the Hasselblad (don't worry, it was on a tripod).
And the sweetest moment was my last night there. I had fallen asleep on the couch, which is right beside her bedroom downstairs. She woke up screaming and crying, and I was able to make it to her room first. She didn't question my role, just wrapped her arms around me and said she had had a bad dream and then in another minute she was falling back into the covers, already asleep again.
She probably won't remember that when she's older, but I always will.

Omikuji, Fortune Telling, Yasukuni Shrine, Tokyo, Japan
“Long time ago, an oracle was told to us via a medium who (was) possessed by gods”
Fortune telling, like many other things in Japan, is a cultural ritual in many shrines and temples. It has to be followed in the exact way prescribed many years ago or bad luck will follow you for the rest of your life. Here is a guide for fortune telling if you want to try it next time you are in Japan. You can find Omikuji at the very entrance of the temples/shrines. After paying a nominal fee (typically about ¥100), you will be given a box full of sticks. Shake the box well, and pick a stick from the box. It will contain a number that will determine your fate. Make sure that you put the stick back in the box, before proceeding to the next step! Go to the adjoining chest of drawers, pick the corresponding Omikuji (fortune paper) from the drawers. Before reading it, collect yourself, then do not show any emotions while reading it, even if it is a good one (no high-fives). Your blessing can vary from ‘Great Blessings’ to ‘Great Curse.” If yours is a good one, don’t be happy, but calmly fold the paper and put it safely in your pocket. You can take your good fortune home with you. But if yours is a curse don’t despair, and don’t be sad. Just calmly tie the piece of paper on the rope at the site of the temple and leave the bad fortune at the site of the temple.

Parrot astrology or Parrot fortune-telling (Tamil: கிளி ஜோசியம்) is a type of astrology popular among the Tamils of Tamil Nadu, Telugus in Andhra Pradesh, India and Singapore. It involves using green parakeets which are trained to pick up Tarot like fortune cards.The parakeets are trained specifically for this.
Fortune telling process:
A parrot astrologer/fortune teller typically sits beneath a tree or by the side of the road where people congregate in numbers. He has a cage which contains one or two trained parrots. The tarot like cards are either spread out or stacked in front of him. They are 27 in number representing the Indian cosmic system. Each card contains the image of a Hindu deity and some cards contain images of Buddha or Virgin Mary with Infant Jesus. When a patron sits before the fortune teller, the latter opens the cage and lets the parrot out. He instructs the parrot to pick a card for the patron. The parrot walks over to the cards, picks one from the stack or the spread with its beak and gives it to the astrologer. It then walks back inside its cage. The astrologer opens the card and based on the image tells the fortune of the patron.
The practice of Parrot astrology is diminishing in Tamil Nadu due to lack of patronage

analogue and digital are not the way of the mystics.... sundials, shadow clocks , and water clocks only hint at mysteries of the mystic time keeps..
