It's always relaxing to unwind and lose yourself in a good book. It's important to make time for yourself each day and create a few quiet moments to just relax and be at peace.

I have some friends who are getting into photography and we were talking about doing a photo about leaving a cookie for Santa and seeing who has the best photo. None of them are on Flickr but this is my photo for our friendly challenge.
Par une température maussade de -30°C et des vents du Nord-Est de 60 km/h des centaines de canotiers et canotières se sont affrontés pour la course en canots du 61e Carnaval.
La prédominance de la glace et des vents sur le fleuve Saint-Laurent dimanche a donné lieu à une course enlevante à l'occasion de la traditionnelle compétition québécoise.
Merci à vous tous pour vos visites qui sont grandement appréciées.

The installation Messages of Love at the Tate Britain gallery consists of three elements. Two of the cubicles in the toilets (one in the gents, one in the ladies) have pens hanging from the walls, to allow visitors to jot messages on the walls. Every so often, gallery staff copy down the messages, and make them appear on a scrolling television screen beside David Hockney's The Third Love Painting in one of the galleries.
Anyway, I liked this quote from Jeff Buckley that someone wrote on the wall of the gents' toilet cubicle.

solo ella te satisfará ,
y solo ella satisfará su pasión

"Signs of the Times" Abbotsford's 2015 charitable options.
Something about the options all involving different forms and intensities of movement all juxtaposed in one place caught my eye. Didn't see the traffic light when I snapped the shot, but the green light, I think, adds emphasis to the message!
*Moved up to the top.
I wish I would have never put my hand there -__-, lol.
flickr and flickr contacts, I miss you A LOT. I hate not uploading daily, or whatever. I have enough for this laptop I'm buying at Best Buy, woot. :D I just need to go to the bank to deposit money and shtuff. SO, by the end of next week I should be back with new pictures, and more uploads. Next Tuesday is my road test...I'm seriously going to fail it. I know it. Well, I'll let you know more about it next week. I'm gonna be trying to catch up with my contacts uploads on my phone, promise.
So, asked the owner, "What's Up Dawg?" And he said exactly! He gets asked all the time, and he just replies, "I'm up, dawg."
Unfortunately, my camera setting moved without realizing it, so it's a bit blurry, and B&W is the best I could do with the processing.
Its been raining aaaaaallll day which put my plans for photography this weekend in the trash, so I thought I'd try some indoor shots. In particular that "classic" heart shadow by candlelight shot.
Very difficult, much harder than I thought it was going to be. Here are some of the things I found:
1. Candles have different colours under a photo lens, some come out quite white, while some like this one are yellowy so that is an extra consideration (I prefer this yellowy hue)
2. DoF is very small, so the viewer will pick out just a few lines at most, making book choice important. I went for For Whom The Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway as I think the romantic sub-story is beautful. Even then, finding a sentence or two to highlight is very tough
3. Height and Distance of the candle from the object makes a huge impact to the shadow size and clarity.
This shot isnt perfect, but once again I've learnt a lot and can see that there is a lot of potential for this sort of photograph, creating shadow imagery.
Please join the campaign, if you do not like the proposed new flickr layout.
You can also make your own picture with the text as seen in this picture ( or of similar nature, but make sure to emphasize the boycott ), in any language of your choice. Please circulate it and remember to upload it on Sunday, January 5, 2014 ( or before, if you know you'll be away on January 5 ).
Thank you. I LOVE FLICKR - JANUARY 5TH 2014 ! ! ! !
***January 5 is 'I Love Flickr Day'. It's a call to BOYCOTT ALL BRANDS AND PRODUCTS THAT ADVERTISE ON YAHOO ! ! ! !****

Greek :
(really thank you Tania my dear friend for your clarification ), I put here
"I love Flickr day - January 5, 2014" .
We might use the word "υποστηρίζω" which means "support" in English...
I 'll try to translate now the text...
Option 1 : "Αγαπώ το Flickr.
Υποστηρίζω την Hμέρα για το Flickr της 5ης Ιανουαρίου 2014.
Οι προτεινόμενες αλλαγές πρόκειται να καταστρέψουν το Flickr.
Εάν η νέα παρουσίαση/εμπειρία εφαρμοστεί χωρίς να δίνεται η
δυνατότητα εναλλακτικής επιλογής, θα αποφασίσω να μποϊκοτάρω
όλες τις μάρκες / προϊόντα που εμφανίζουν διαφημίσεις στη Yahoo
και θα καλέσω τους φίλους και την οικογένειά μου να πράξουν το ίδιο."
.......................................
Another clarification of my friend Tania
Instead of the word "Υποστηριζω", it would fit better the word "Στηρίζω".
So the new phrase is this:
"Στηρίζω την Hμέρα για το Flickr της 5ης Ιανουαρίου 2014."
Option 2 : "Αγαπώ το Flickr.
Στηρίζω την Hμέρα για το Flickr της 5ης Ιανουαρίου 2014.
Οι προτεινόμενες αλλαγές πρόκειται να καταστρέψουν το Flickr.
Εάν η νέα παρουσίαση/εμπειρία εφαρμοστεί χωρίς να δίνεται η
δυνατότητα εναλλακτικής επιλογής, θα αποφασίσω να μποϊκοτάρω
όλες τις μάρκες / προϊόντα που εμφανίζουν διαφημίσεις στη Yahoo
και θα καλέσω τους φίλους και την οικογένειά μου να πράξουν το ίδιο."

All these translations are made to me, except the Greek and Portuguez that my friends who have made it.
And all were checked, also for my friends to different countries

Fair One: 'Tis balmy eve, and gentle zephyrs blow
With mildness seldom seen of late.
If you'll permit me, I would like to go
And see you safely to the garden gate.

This is an example of a Victorian-era acquaintance card, which was also referred to in the nineteenth century as a flirtation, escort, or invitation card.
The Encyclopedia of Ephemera (New York: Routledge, 2000), p 4, provides this definition: "A novelty variant of the American calling card of the 1870s and 1880s, the acquaintance card was used by the less formal male in approaches to the less formal female. Given also as an 'escort card' or 'invitation card,' the device commonly carried a brief message and a simple illustration.... Flirtatious and fun, the acquaintance card brought levity to what otherwise might have seemed a more formal proposal. A common means of introduction, it was never taken too seriously."
Here's CNN's take on acquaintance or escort cards: "So, may I see you home? In the late 19th century, Americans exchanged cheeky personalized cards to start a romance. Call them the ink-and-paper Tinder. Escort cards helped people find intimacy while breaking the strict conventions of social interaction."
That's the description of a video that appeared on CNN's Great Big Story today (February 12, 2016). The short piece (1:25) uses reproductions of my collection of acquaintance cards (see my complete set on Flickr or the ones I've posted on Ipernity so far) to present The 19th Century Tinder: Welcome to the Racy World of Escort Cards over on YouTube (don't miss my acknowledgement at the end of the video).
For those who may not be familiar with the sometimes naughty Tinder, Wikipedia calls it a "location-based dating and social discovery application (using Facebook) that facilitates communication between mutually interested users, allowing matched users to chat."
So, were acquaintance or escort cards--like the one above--the nineteenth-century equivalent of Tinder, as the video suggests? I don't really think that formally dressed Victorian men and women secretly gave each other cards in order to hook up like we see in the video. Although some of the cards may sound like cheesy pickup lines to modern ears, I think it's more likely that school kids and young adults used them to break the ice, get a laugh, or start a conversation rather than to arrange a tryst.
In reality, acquaintance cards provided a lighthearted and humorous way to parody the more formal exchange of calling cards that took place in Victorian times. Acquaintance cards were sold by the same companies that supplied calling cards, rewards of merit, and advertising trade cards, and they show up alongside these other printed items in the scrapbooks that were popular with women and children in the nineteenth century.
Back to the Yum Yum A La Mode card. Here's how it was advertised in the Argus and Patriot newspaper, Montpelier, Vermont, on September 18, 1878, p. 4. The following text appeared along with the "Yum Yum" illustration:
Boss. Red Hot.
If you want to smile all over your face for six months, just send for the Red Hot Flirtation Cards, 50 for 25 cts. Samples sent for 2 3-ct. stamps. Remember these cards are Red Hot Regular Tearers!! They cannot be beat. We stump everything of the kind. You will laugh till you cry if you send for them. P.O. stamps are better than silver to send in a letter, and are all the same to us. Write your orders plain. Address Marshall & Co., 35 Sudbury St., Boston, Mass.
So what do you think? Was this a "Red Hot Flirtation Card" that Victorians used as a paper-based Tinder?

That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight.
Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower.
We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.
