This is the first year in a long time I can remember that my Dad's tomatoes have not looked great! Probably still tastes good, though! :)
Guess who's turn it was to clean the kitchen. But chocolate milk and cigarettes were begging for consumption first!
Resolution #1: pretty much get more time on this thing.

Ex JR 205-0 Series EMU Set 33 stops at Grogol Station, on a KRL Commuterline (KAI) service on the Tangerang line to Tangerang from Duri station near Central Jakarta.
The interesting thing about Jakarta’s commuter rail system is that most of the stock consists of units that were previously used on Japans Rail Network, including JR, JNR and Tokyo Metro.
This set was originally built for Japan Railways in the mid-late 80s, and ran on its commuter lines until being exported to Kereta Commuter Indonesia.

The only crazy little thing I could come up with on short notice was Papayahead. White Sands Resort, (not-at-all-like) Mombasa, 25-Mar 2007.
Repost of a full view of the Valley Merchandise store in Fresno. This is a larger file, easier to look at.
If you look at each rain drop carefully (enlarge the image) and turn your head side way, you will see United States map. Took this photo after a rain stopped. No touch or man made, every thing from this photo is real and all natural.
An amazing thing happened last Saturday. We climbed the hill above Coalbrookdale to capture one of the last biomass workings on the Ironbridge branch, and the sun broke out from behind the clouds; something pretty rare over the past week or so.
66716 works 6G62 across the viaduct, the 04.52 Liverpool Bulk Terminal to Ironbridge Power Station. Saturday 14.11.15 (A couple of branches have been trimmed during processing).

“In my own worst seasons I've come back from the colourless world of despair by forcing myself to look hard, for a long time, at a single glorious thing: a flame of red geranium outside my bedroom window. And then another: my daughter in a yellow dress. And another: the perfect outline of a full, dark sphere behind the crescent moon. Until I learned to be in love with my life again. Like a stroke victim retraining new parts of the brain to grasp lost skills, I have taught myself joy, over and over again.” - Barbara Kingsolver
Part inspired by the Flower Fairies illustrations, I grew up with these as a kid and always identified with the Blackthorn Fairy most, because she looked totally badass! Climbing on thorns, tattered clothes, my kinda fairy.
Today has been lovely, I woke up pretty shattered from yesterday's wedding and went to do some couple portraits about an hour's drive away - I'm able to sing in the car again (loudly) and I feel like this last week I've felt really grateful to be alive again.
That was one of the hardest things to get my head around after he died, I had no idea how I was going to ever WANT to be in this part of my life again. I read somewhere that life is only ever comparisons - the state of oneself with an old self, circumstances with other circumstances, etc etc. I loved life SO much before him, with him, that I couldn't see how it would ever compare. Letting go of the idea of comparison has been huge, moments are only ever moments, so if I want to sing loudly in the car then I will damn well sing until the moment comes to an end. And as my collection of wonderful moments grows, hopefully so will my overall perspective on the "enjoyableness" of my current present! Boom.
And yes, I was totally naked in a boggy moor on the roadside, here. RIP, my dignity.
I've had the thing for 3 days and it won't turn on. I am NOT impressed and this is almost the final straw. I'm thinking of selling ALL my Nikon gear and turning to Canon. I've never had so many problems. My D80 broke down not long after I got it too.
So now if my only option is to have it fixed, I'll probably have to wait several months before I can actually use it. And I have a wedding to practice on in a couple of weeks. Doesn't look like I can do that now.
I've tried a different lens and a different battery - still won't turn on. Earlier today, I had some problems - it wouldn't turn off and was taking strange pixelated photos as well as black photos and just before the shutter snapped, it would go completely out of focus. It doesn't acknowledge the battery at all (the batter meter doesn't show when you put it in). Shame I didn't keep those images... I never knew I would have a Lemon camera AGAIN.
I've tried the same lens and battery on the D80 and I have no problems.
Any ideas?
I'm yet to hear back from the company I purchased it through to see if I can either get a refund or a replacement, I'll be stuffed if I'm taking this to get fixed only for something else to go wrong down the track.
NOT IMPRESSED NIKON.
Sorry to cherrylassierusty - I won't be able to do the challenge this week - I thought I would at least post one photo into this pool using the piece of crap camera.
Sorry for the attitude, I'm just so sick of everything going wrong.
UPDATE: I have got in contact with the Ebay seller who has asked for me to send back and if DOA, they will offer a replacement!
Tag made interestingness on Oct 3, 2005... which just goes to show you how strange flickrites are -- thanks for liking my strategic blur.

Having struggled with Elements 12 for god knows how many years and only upgrading to Photoshop CC late last year I thought it was about time that I tried to get to grips with it properly as most of my uploads follow the same tried and trusted process flow.
So one of my many 2018 New Year resolutions is to try new things and see where it takes me. I'm not tying myself down to a 365 or a 52 week project but will post images in the hope of some good tips from you all. So here's my first attempt... I don't know if this is colour popping or selective colouring but it was far easier than I thought although I'll have to go back to the videos and make notes as I've a memory like a sieve or is it a goldfish... see I've forgotten already!
About the picture, we were just on our way for coffee and cake when Mrs R spotted this pink taxi... that's a bit different! Out came the camera and no sooner had I taken the first shot the taxi driver spotted me and wound his window up and turned his back on me... must be shy I thought! I rushed off to catch up with Mrs R who was on a mission to find the biggest cake, but checking my framing in the rear screen I wasn't happy with the symmetry (you know me) so went back for another go. Oh boy, was that taxi driver unhappy with me... he got out of his cab, shouted something, waved his hand in an ungentlemanly manner and stormed off to the pavement - that's him on the left.
Well... if you want to go unnoticed... don't paint yer cab pink!
A build/figure a long time in the making. Longer than I think I realize. I’ve been brainstorming on how to make a good looking Swamp Thing that didn’t make use of a big fig base as I wanted him to be more scaled down than the monstrous stature that is a big fig. I feel like this is a good middle from a normal figure and a big fig. The build, with how the legs are posed, stands only a head above a normal figure, giving the build a menacing look. I have plans to use this base for future characters which will be fun to figure out.
Caught in a death grip.
This weird looking thing is ship 4 in my melee Blacktron fleet. It’s great for opening up the hulls of passing enemy ships, or giant cans of tuna for the Blacktron space cat.
This might be it for this fleet. It's definitely it for this year. Plus, I think the Neo Classic Space guys will be needing a melee fleet of their own soon..
On the rare occasions I get to photograph this view there is always something in the way! A couple of years ago it was a flock of Geese. This year - the big green thing!
Somehow this started as a picture of trees and wound up as a Bird Thing. I try to go where the image takes me and hopefully it works out. You don't want to see the one's that don't.
Selfie in an old abandoned water tower plinth. This is a structure which once supported a huge water tank as used in the age of steam.
Shot with a Sony 14mm G Master lens tilted way back towards the sky and a top tip for making yourself look considerably slimmer than in real life ;-)
I heard on the grapevine that there was a couple of otters in the local lake, so I thought I would go see..
Sadly they were nowhere to be seen, but I did manage to shoot this "Big Bird Thing...
Think I could get into this wildlife photography lark...
While we were watching tele Baa wandered off by himself. We weren't worried because the door was closed so he couldn't get out and wander onto the road.
Next thing we knew he had found the secret biscuits and was helping himself!
Is this thing representative of my life? Looking a bit like a jellyfish. Notoriously difficult to handle. There's a central core, quite hard and inaccessible. Who knows what's in there? And then there are some stringy bits that flop and dangle, hanging from it. It's not easy to know what they are for, or do. They lack direction, blowing in the wind, wetted by the rain, warmed by the sun. They are pointless.
And yet they make up this 'thing'. Weird looking. Strange. curious, Interesting? There's something about it. Does it have life? Alien life, perhaps?
I really have no idea.
