Three is for meeeeeeee!
I hate taking photos of myself. Usually because I have a lopsided smile/sticky out chin/double chin*
So anyway, this is indeed me (camera in way of said chin, of course) - a very quick shot due to cling-on-non-napping-small-child!
January 6 - We celebrate the Three Kings Day or the feast of the Epiphany. It is the Christian celebration of the revelation of the birth of Jesus to the wider world. This is embodied most in the story of three wise men visiting a newborn Jesus with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh as told in the Gospel of Matthew 2:1-12.
Three little maids from school are we
Pert as a school-girl well can be
Filled to the brim with girlish glee
Three little maids from school
Everything is a source of fun
Nobody's safe, for we care for none
Life is a joke that's just begun
Three little maids from school
Three little maids who, all unwary
Come from a ladies' seminary
Freed from its genius tutelary
Three little maids from school
Three little maids from school
This is the closest thing I have to Christmas decorations. I'm not against the holiday: my husband and I just don't decorate. Saves on cleaning up later. :)
When we lived in Connecticut, we had the loveliest neighbors. Dieter and Linda grew up in Germany during WWII--in what became East Germany. Somehow, they managed to be in West Germany at the right time. Dieter trained as a baker, Linda as a seamstress. Eventually, they ended up in Connecticut and owned a very successful bakery. They had long retired by the time we moved in next door. When we moved to California, they gave us this lovely little set of angels, which came from Germany.
Dieter and Linda are some of the best people you could get to know. And not just for the baked goods.
Happy Holidays to all my Flickr friends! Because of the upcoming holidays, I will be off and on Flickr--probably more off. So take care, and I will catch up in the New Year!
Three Lalylala dolls from the patterns by Lydia Tresselt. Lupine is the latest. She worked up a bit larger than the other two, probably due to the bobble stitches to make her fleecy body. I used Knit Picks Palette in bark for her skin, and Knit Picks Stroll in mocha tonal for the body.
Three army gal pals have their photo taken at the Tonga Room of the Fairmont Hotel, San Francisco, California. The photo is stamped with the date June 14, 1951. Two of these members of the Women's Army Corps wear identifiable shoulder patches. The WAC in the center wears a post-war First Army patch. The one on the right wears a Sixth Army patch.
The occasion must have been a farewell party for the woman in the middle. There is no clue to the identity of the WAC in the center, but the two on either end have scribbled short notes of affection, along with their names, on the margins of the photo's frame.
On the left:
"Pfc. Rose M. Gauthard (Rosa Lee)
May this night be a memorable one to you."
And on the right:
"Hope we never part but if we do I'll think of you.
Pvt. Betty Fields"

Can you tell the relationship between them?
Final photos for Red Three are done! I decided to try something new here, adding a little bit of text to the pictures. I think it adds an extra dimension of ''''''professionalism''''''
Three Shire Heads (also known as Three Shires Head) is the point on Axe Edge Moor where Cheshire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire meet, at UK grid reference SK009685, or 53.213°N 1.987°W.
It is on the River Dane, which marks the Cheshire border in this area. On the east of the river, the border between Staffordshire and Derbyshire runs north-east for about a mile to Cheeks Hill, on the higher regions of Axe Edge Moor. From Cheeks Hill the border runs south then east to the head of the River Dove.
The main landmark is a packhorse bridge. The bridge is Grade II-listed, and was probably constructed in the late 18th century
The male Three-wattled Bellbird has a white head, chestnut body, and three long, obvious, blackish-grey wattles at the base of the bill. The female is much more nondescript, lacking the distinct wattles and is yellowish-green overall. Found in high mountain forests, this species is a pronounced altitudinal migrant, wintering in lowland forests. Although silent throughout most of the year, from March through June males of this species give a remarkable, far-carrying “boi-nng,” call from an exposed perch that has been the subject of many studies on vocal communication. Even though this species is known for its loud, piercing call, it is easily overlooked when silent. Only recorded feeding on fruits, the Three-wattled Bellbird may forage by aerial sally or while perched. This species has a restricted range and a small population size of less than 20,000 individuals, which is believed to be declining; due to these factors, the Three-wattled Bellbird has been listed as vulnerable on the IUCN watchlist.
Three Maseratis spotted in the paddock at the Silverstone Historic Festival meeting in August 2001. On the left is the 1955 Maserati 300S of Michael Hinderer which was powered by a 2,991cc 6-cylinder engine that was based on the 2½ litre unit of the 250F Grand Prix car with a longer stroke. The Maserati 300S took part in the World Sportscar Championship between 1955 and 1957 and this car is chassis #3057 that was originally owned by Swiss driver Benoit Musy. The middle car is Alan Minshaw's 1959 Maserati T61, chassis #2453, and is a car that was almost completely destroyed in an accident at Daytona in 1959. The parts that could be salvaged were used to reconstruct the car in the UK in the early 1990s. The car on the right is the 1953 Maserati A6GCM of David Bennett, chassis #2044 that was at one time owned by Prince Bira, and has the blue and yellow Siamese racing colours.
...escaped sure fate in the meatpacking district, but then stupidly stopped to do some window shopping.
Three pair of red lights mark the passage of U758. I wanted to try a going away shot centered on the signals.
Three child monks stroll along a stone path past a clock and a door and columns of concrete and light with light swirling in their wake.
“Three Parisiens” — Three people walk along a street in Le Marais, Paris.
There is a story about this wall that I’ll share in the second paragraph. The photograph comes from the Le Marais district of Paris, where we were out for a walk in early December. It uses one of the old standby approaches to street photography, namely to find an interesting street landscape and then wait for people to walk into the frame and populate it. This can lead to a lot of photos of the sides of people, but here it helps a bit that the person in the lead has glanced in my direction.
About that story… This wall is the location of one of my favorite photographs that I have made in Paris. It features three (likely related) women in front of this wall… back when it was covered by some fascinating street art. (You can find the photo by searching for “je suis bleu” on my website.) This reinforces how transitory street subjects can be. Not only do people come and go, forming visual relationships that may last only an instant, but the street itself changes over the seasons.
