Thanks go out to Mr. Burke for the inspiration to find and post a shot from sunnier and warmer days, just think, only 5 more months till spring!
Explore--my first!

I miss the wildflowers, covering fields and making even the sides of the road gardens of color and joy.
I miss the cool evenings and the breeze tousling my hair.
I miss you, here, with me, tumbling about the countryside.
I miss spring.
Think spring is on the way. Not a great photo, poor light but I like what it represents. SPRING IS COMING.
Often I think we're our own worst critics (I know I am), but I think sometimes it's important that we're our own biggest cheerleaders, as well. Although this photo probably isn't perfect, I think it's probably as close as I've gotten. It wasn't until about a week ago that I even thought anything of it, though. After reviewing my Spectro long exposure shots from August, I knew instantly that my favorite (and still my all-time favorite shot) was the one I posted the day after I returned. That shot really overshadowed the rest, and I hadn’t looked at them until recently. When I saw this one, I thought it might have some potential. Since that viewing, it’s continued to grow on me.
What I think is so great about it, and what sets it apart from the other shot is that it embodies Disney Magic (whereas I think the other shot looks “magical”, it’s more impressive from a flowing, river of colors perspective, not because it particularly says "Disney"). First, you have the same flowing rivers of almost ethereal color, albeit interrupted; nothing says Disney Magic more than dream-inspired colors and fantasy-like “illusions”. Second, you have a couple of floats in the front that are distinguishable for what they actually are, rather than just as streaks; this adds to the shot and informs that this is Walt Disney World's famed SpectroMagic! parade. Finally, those same distinct floats in the front are low, making the crowd, complete with their flashes firing, visible; this is probably the only time I’ll ever say I’m glad people used their flashes during a parade, it really is something to see those, and just how still people stand for this long of a shot as they are awe-inspired by the parade.
Now, obviously we all have our own takes on the images we see, so your mileage may vary here. I’m not trying to impose my impression of this shot onto anyone, nor am I trying to ascribe some deep meaning to what’s likely a simple Disney shot for many. However, for the above reasons, I think this shot just whispers “magic.” I think most Disney fans viewing it will feel the same way.

I think my uniform looks perfect! I'm sure my shipmates think so too!
The retro pinup look will never die!
This is another of the themes Cindy, Roberta & I played with during our most recent photo shoot! It was exciting and kind of got me all tingly to have something hard between my legs! [giggle]
My ensemble for this set consists of my Danskin black nylon spandex leotard with copper & black French heeled seamed stockings and Romance garter belt from secretsinlace.com along with my black patent 5½" heels from electriqueboutique.com, and a cute little fedora to top it all off!

Another holiday related story that I think is quite aptly summarised by the Yeats quote.
* Disclaimer: I by no means think of myself as a genius, although the word minor may be used in a self-description
On Tuesday, when Sian and I were driving down to Bedfordshire, it was glorious sunshine, in fact, it was boiling hot and the journey was a little too warm. The air-conditioning got a major test drive and I was really wishing I hadn't decided to wear a pair of UGG boots and tights!
Talk about being inappropriately dressed!
So when I was getting dressed the next morning (the St.Albans touristy day), it was lovely and sunny.
"Right", I thought to myself, "i shall be prepared." As I pulled on a vest, ridiculously short shorts and a pair of flip flops.
Unlucky for me the temperature plummeted and the rain fell.
Even unluckier was waiting for Sian and busting for the loo!
But I did manage to pause a moment from hopping about like a mad frog to spot the above purple treasure and I stood still long enough to focus and shoot!
Hurrah!
Problems are the part of one's life. But there's no problem without any solution. Each problem has a solution,sometimes the number is more than one. Only thing we need to do is think. Think about the problem,think about the paths that can make the matters easier,and the solution will come out by itself.
I took this shot with various cameras and emulsions. I think a version of it, taken on 4x5, appeared in the latest issue of Conspiracy of Cartographers zine.
This version, shot with the Mamiya RB67 on expired Provia has the feel of being there. The warmth and dry are both present, as is (obviously) the coolness of the water.
This isn't the lake or stream where I soaked my legs and feet on fire. This is in the same coulee, but a bit to the east. If you got a copy of the zine, you could easily spot it on the map.

Rainy dreary weather has me yearning to photograph some of the many warblers I hear singing in my yard. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to want to come out and play either. As a result, I drift back looking at some of the photos I’ve taken over the past 6 months. Instead of a drab grey day, I think pink will do. This Roseate Spoonbill was more than happy enough to pose during my visit to Peaceful Waters Sanctuary. I always enjoy this quiet little retreat. #RoseateSpoonbill
I think Linds looks a little like the 2nd Dr Who's companion, Zoe in this shot.
Linda - NYC. I shot a few more pics and may revisit them at some point. Hope all the visitors here enjoyed the new images!
Sweet bike with great potential,but she does need some tlc and a few upgrades.
** Jan Heine took a look at the photos and thinks she is probably a Goelands.
Joshua Bryant mentioned the same in an earlier photo,, good eye Joshua.
Main frame was repainted at some point, not sure why as forks are in original paint. Maybe some braze ons were removed or possibly added? The main frame could be hand rubbed to soften the look a bit and make it closer to the luster of the forks.
Derailleurs and shifters are more modern and not in keeping with the rest of the bike. It did have a brazed on derailleur mount removed from under the chainstay at some point.
There is a brazed mount on the back of the seat tube for a Huret helix style lever or cable operated front derailleur. (This detail alone helps date the bike if nothing else does).
Canti's are Frexel and need some love. Headset needs adjustment, crankset is steel and she would be nice with a period Stronglight 49d or? She does need a generator...
Wheels are not original to the bike and rims are steel which weigh her down a lot.She would look much better alloy rims and with a pair of Hetres!
Racks are great, the 3-THREE! JOS lights are super cool, this bike could be special if the new owner gave her a bit tlc.
I think all of you guyz know what happened in Japan. It happened a while now (when I was in Costa Rica), but I didn't want to act like nothing happened because it does. I felt it wasn't too late, because the disaster and wasted lives are still there. In this moment, people are still searching for their family, friends...someone.
It's in moments like this I realize how much lucky I am to have everything I have. House, clothes, money...and I'm not talking about material stuff. I talk about my family, friends, and alos you guyz. Healthy and alive. Next time you're complaning about your little problems, just think about what happened in Japan, or Haiti. Right, we ar elcuky guyz and we have to appreciate what we have...and what we don't.
Pray For Japan <3

I think I got the proportions all wrong here, but I was still pleased to see what a clear job my camera could do from quite a long distance!
For anyone out there who finds roses difficult, I can totally sypathise. I am having a nightmare with them at the moment, nothing seems to work out right, they either seem too floppy or too angular. I think I need a session of trying out lots of different tecniques!!
This is to go with the birdcage cake at my upcoming wedding fayre.
A little different than Rodin's famous sculpture. I'm not sure what artist made this one that sits prominently on the campus of Bowling Green State University.
Think this was August 2004 and a real motley collection of ageing vehicles, all cascaded from within First into Taunton.
Carlyle bodied Dart 46002 H802GDV was new to North Devon so really just a move within the old Cawlett Group. Sent down from First Centrewest was ex London Dennis Lance SLF 67311 ODZ8911, whilst the Lynx was 62726 G125HNP, drafted down from Midland Red West.
Had to rescue this a bit as the original shot was a bit over exposed because of the bright sunshine.
Did you know the human eye is able to differentiate more shades of green than any other colour? The belief behind this is one of evolution and survival when our early ancestors relied on being able to find food, water and life. We are reassured and feel safe when seeing green.
positive psychological qualities of green
When we see green our eye requires no adjustment. This is because it is at the centre of the colour spectrum, making green very restful, creating balance and harmony. It provides reassurance, restorative and refreshing. In nature the bright light fresh green represents new life and new growth.
It is the colour that represents universal peace and universal love, that of mother earth and the environment.
negative psychological qualities of green
Green, like any colour also has negative traits. Too much green or being surrounded by the wrong shade of green can bring up the feelings of boredom, lack of life and stagnation. It can also communicate rot and decay.
“Absolute green is the most restful color, lacking any undertone of joy, grief, or passion.
50 shades of green
There are so many shades of green from the bright yellow chartreuse, lime, cool jade green, emerald, forest, bottle, to the olive and khaki greens just to name a few.
Salut :)
J'ai changé la wig d'Amy, depuis looongtemps, mais je vous devez cette photo x)
Je ne trouve pas que ça lui va.. Je vais lui mettre des yeux (d'autres) roses ou bleus plus profonds, et une wig bouclée brune. Mhh, j'en dit pas plus 8)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hey :)
I changed the Amy's wig from a long time x)
I do not think it suits him .. I'm going to put (news) pinks or blues eyes and a brown curly wig. Hmm, I said no more ;)
Bye ♥
Sometimes it just seems so hard to do... Today I got lost on my photos and my thoughts, and the sunset and and the memories and the music coming through my headphones:
Think about the contrast between life and death. Not out of fear, but of intrigue. How crazy it is to be living. How intricate and delicate.
I don't think it was healthy for my camera to take this photo. It was freezing cold, and the air was moist.
Taken at Breiva, Bodø.
...I think I'd better sweep the floor and maybe do a little dusting, too...hahahahahahah. This is a little cabin in Old Town at Bonnie Springs, NV. We visited this place on our way back from Red Rock Canyon. That faux wood flooring is hysterical...whatever were they thinking.
...I couldn't resist...here's When Will I See You Again by Barry Manilow. Actually, Lisa should be home tonight...lolol.
...I hope you're all having a fantastic Saturday, my friends...thank you so much for all your support, but more importantly, for your friendship. :~}

I don't think I've posted many photos of Gumbo lately. . . I'll have you all know that he is doing fabulously well and is and always will be my Handsome Boy!

Dating to the 1920s, IBM founder Thomas J. Watson summed his philosophy in a singular word. More on IBM THINK signs here.
I think this one is finished. I tried to imagine one word to describe it, and came up with "peace". However, when I put it into the frame I made it for---I lost the top of the trees or the word "peace". *argh*
My question is: How much detail?
"Chimpanzees make tools and use them to acquire foods and for social displays; they have sophisticated hunting strategies requiring cooperation, influence and rank; they are status conscious, manipulative and capable of deception; they can learn to use symbols and understand aspects of human language including some relational syntax, concepts of number and numerical sequence; and they are capable of spontaneous planning for a future state or event." (Wikipedia)
What might these two be up to?
Best viewed on black, so please press 'L'.
Enjoy!
