TOYS in a square format .
Well as for the subject , not too much scope here for toys - yes there are dozens of dollies and teddies ( mostly made by my wife ) , but they are more collectables rather than play things and they have figured in in number of previous SSC shots . Hang on though , a board game is squirreled away somewhere and that can create a number of different toys !!
Great !! But have you tried filling a Scrabble board with words of a single subject ? With all the letter tiles at your disposal you very quickly find that your choices become very limited - both from getting the layout correct and the fact that certain letters VERY quickly run out !!
So here is my Scrabble board made up of various toys old and new with many choices absent due to lack of the right letters .The shot was taken outside on the garden table ( hence the strong shadows ) , a quickly taken 3 or 4 shots in less than five minutes - Job done , pity though it took best part of FIVE HOURS over two afternoons to fill the board to what you see above !!
With that in mind , for sight & sound a chance for a bit of Prog albeit rather short compared to some tracks of this genre --
the aptly titled Yes track
Time And A Word .
I've been getting some short skirt time in this recent period of nice weather. Here I am wearing a gorgeous faux leather pleated mini skirt.
I think every major clothes retailer sold this style of skirt at some time or other. This one is from Next,
Time for a coffee even on a chilly winters day at Friars Cliff Dorset. The view is well worth braving the weather.
This is something out of my norm but it's Sunday and I wanted to try something different. I've seen it done before. Rotate the lens from 18mm-55mm during a 5 sec. exposure. The texture was added after.
a) stop moping around and get out and party
b) stop chickening out at every opportunity
c) eat a chocolate biscuit
Nap time after some playing with his favourite ball. Cooper just loves this ball. Can withstand cold, rain, sleet, it's practically indestructible. When he feels neglected and wants to play, he will bring it to me, drop it and wag his tail.
Well, not really time for a few blueberries but I will have a few scattered over my breakfast, tomorrow morning!

"I'll be about my business for a couple of hours, sweetie. That dunce cap had better still be on your head when I open this door again....or we'll just have to start over." 😵
Retiring hogger JW heads under the Ackerville 164 bridge one last time while a CN employee. While I never met him before, it was still cool to be a part of his last day, and not too shabby power either!
Nearly a month since I was up in the Lake District, must get round to sorting out a few of the photos I took...
This little Robin couldn't wait for the fresh water in the birdbath this morning. As soon as I poured it in, it was bath time.
It is time to enter the photo/art contest! Deadline is May 5. The theme of this year’s PUDDLE is The Clock Strikes Twelve / steampunk. Your entry does not have to reflect “steampunk” specifically. If your entry shows a clock, a gear, the number 12, or 12 of anything, or if features the colors red, brown, and/or gold/yellow, it will be in theme. Details here:
Autumn is outside the window in this shot from housing at the Moffat Tunnel. I included the colors outside the window for this shot. When it gets difficult to put in a decent day's work, it's time to reboot. Maybe the mountain pack rats got to his boots while he was sleeping. Have you seen the size of the pack rats up here at the divide? A military retinue posted atop Pikes Peak in the past noted the size of the rats that carried pieces of concrete away! Sheesh! I've been walkin' on the railroad; Just to pass the time away. All while waiting for the horn to blow. I love the autumn colors of the grasses and shrubs outside. Winter's on the way, it's time to reglaze!
This is in a company house near the Moffat Tunnel. eDDie and I rifled through some of the old D&RGW housing. I stuck my found boot in several windows. The view from the missing window shouts the season. The work force that operated the station - agents, telegraphers, electricians, curtain operators and other maintenance workers for the East Portal of the Moffat Tunnel had short walks to work and that hardly accounts for the wear on this boot. Maybe they walked all the way to the "Crossroads" and back. This housing is as tenuous as this boot. Boy, I bet these houses were dandy spots to sleep when the D&RGW Mallets were pounding their way up grade! Have you seen the size of the low pressure cylinders on the fronts of those Mallets? This shows the color on our second trip up to the Moffat.

.......................
يبدأ الزمن ببدء الحياة ..
قيدا غير مرئي يتنفس بولادة الشمس .. ثم يمضي بلا توقف .. بمجرد ملازمة الأرض قسريا لها ..
دوران يومي مقلق يجعلنا نرى شمسا تدور بشكل وهمي من حولنا .. من شرقها إلى غربها ..
في الوقت الذي ندور فيه نحن من حولها ..
كي نصبح نحن الذين نحرك دولاب الزمن
أو .. نحن الذين نتحرك معه كفئران في عجلات .. نخترع الساعات و نمشي وفق فتافيتها التي تتناولنا يوميا ... حتى ننتهي .. فنفنى .. فننتقل .
.........
للزمن محددان أساسيان .. الشمس و الموت .
الشمس تعطيه تعريفه الفيزيائي الواضح .. بدورانها تتحدد القيم و التفاصيل الدقيقة .. و بتحديدها تنكشف كل عوامل تعريف المسافة و السرعة ..
أما الموت فيمنح الزمن قيمته الفلسفية .. بحدوثه يتم الانتقال من المفهوم الزمني إلى المفهوم اللازمني .. و السفر من المنطقة المقيدة اللاأبدية إلى الفراغ الأبدي الأزلي الذي لا يحتاج إلى تحديد فيزيائي يعرف المفهوم الزمني و لا يضطر إلى ربط السرعة و المسافة ..
حيث تصبح المسافة اتساعا .. و السرعة انتقالا .. و الزمن هو مجرد لا شيء ..
.............
يبدأ الزمن في لحظة ما .. و لن ينتهي إلا في أجله المعلوم بالنسبة إلى خالقه فقط
..........
الزمن لا ينتظر ... لا يرتبط .. لا يتعاطف .. و لا يرحم .. لكنه يركض بخطى ثابتة و مزعجة .. لا تتنازل عن سرعتها المحددة رغم ضخامة الأحداث و اضطراب الكوكب ..
و من الممكن جدا أن يمضي الزمن بعيدا عن مفهوم العدالة ..
..........
كل شيء خاضع للمفهوم الزمني هو فان حتما .
و كل ما مر الزمن من فوقه أو من تحته أو من خلاله .. خاضع للتغير و التبدل .. و ثباته هو أمر معدوم .
..........
الزمن وهم اخترعَنا فاخترعْناه ...
اخْتُرِعَ لنا فربطناه حول رقابنا ..
و اخترعْنا تفاصيله .. فقيدَنا ..
..........
كل ما قيد بزمن .. جُهِّزَ ليصبح تربة للامتحان .. و رهنا بحسن إدارة الوقت و حسن العمل
..........
ينتهي الزمن بإيعاز غريب .. يقلب كل المفاهيم الزمنية و يسخر من ثبات اتجاه العقارب ..
تتغير فكرة الدوران الثابتة .. و تعكس الأرض دورانها .. و تجد الشمس _ محدد الزمن الأول_ نفسها لأول مرة في مفهوم جديد فوق الأرض ..
تظهر من غربها الذي حدده لها خالقها منذ بداية الكون .. فتعكس كل الترتيب الزمني الأرضي ..
و يصبح الغرب شرقا .. و يمسي الشرق غربا
و إذ ذاك سيصبح كل سكان الغرب دفعة واحدة ... هم الشرقيون ..
و سيمسي كل سكان الشرق .. ببساطة ... هم الغربيون ..
..........
سينتهي الزمن في يوم ما ..
سيتوقف .. و سيصبح العالم أبديا ..
و العالم الأبدي لا قيود تحد مروره .. إذ لا شعور فيه بمطرقة لحظية تتدخل فيها الثواني و يحكمها قيد التراكم الزمني .
العالم الأبدي لا حاجة فيه للموت _ محدد الزمن الثاني _ إذ لا حاجة فيه للانتقال ..
من دخل منظومة الأبدية .. لن يعود مرة أخرى للانتقال إلى مفهوم الفناء ..
و لن يعود خاضعا إلى المفهوم الزمني ..
و لا مربوطا بفتافيت الوقت ..
و لا مقيـــــــــــدا ..
بعجـــــــلات الزمــــــن .
