You can't hang out around here long without paying the required obeisance to the true Master of the house. So you may as well just go ahead and pet Mr Mittens to his satisfaction, Daisy....and then we can go about our business. 😘
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow
This was truly a true come true, I have never been whale watching before. This year on a vacation to Cabo we decided to give it a try. Our guide stopped about 100 yards from where the whale was seen last, shut down the boat and we just sat there, some other boats got a little close to her so she moved, the next thing I knew she was breaching right in front of us. It was an amazing sight.

Endemic to Europe and South-Western parts of Asia.
Typically grows in mixed beech - hornbeam forests, in gorges, floodplain areas and on wet meadows. Prefers shade and loose soil.
The flowers are pale yellow. No orange spots on the petals can be found (which is a characteristic of the cowslip, P. veris).
P. elatior and P. veris are both used in herbal medicine.

To think for all these years. You're still in my mind. I know things can never go back to what they were. It makes me sad, but I have learned to cope with it. Like a flower, something so good won't last long enough for us to realize what were missing. You're there and I'm here. Distance and Reality stands in our way.

Colori Veri
Tu con gli occhi tristi
non scoraggiarti
Oh ho capito che
è difficile prendere coraggio
in un mondo pieno di gente
puoi perdere tutto di vista
e l'oscurità dentro te
può farti sentire così piccolo
ma io vedo i tuoi colori veri
che risplendono dentro te
vedo i tuoi colori veri
ed è per questo che ti amo
quindi non avere paura
di mostrarli
I tuoi colori veri
I colori veri sono belli
come un arcobaleno
mostrami un sorriso allora,
non essere triste, non riesco a ricordare
l'ultima volta che ti ho visto ridere
se questo mondo ti fa impazzire
ed hai già preso tutto ciò che
riesci a sopportare
puoi chiamarmi
perché sai che io sarò lì per te
e io vedo i tuoi colori veri
che risplendono dentro te
vedo i tuoi colori veri
ed è per questo che ti amo
quindi non avere paura
di mostrarli
I tuoi colori veri
I colori veri sono belli
come un arcobaleno

Had a nice morning of peace and quiet working on my still life shots. I had many ideas flitting through my head and so i spent more time than usual staging things and shooting. I got some terrific new props yesterday at an AWESOME flea market, with Torrie, aka trs125. (none of which are in this particular shot....but they will show up soon!)
I was supposed to be taking care of my beans yesterday so my daughter could go to a baby shower. i completely and totally spaced out and went to the flea market instead!! My daughter called my cell 9 TIMES!! And left me a text message which was in huge capitol letters like she was yelling at me!! that was a bit after 9am. i had been at the flea mkt since about 8:20am...and with my phone set to silent in my pocket...when around 10:30am i realized that my phone was not making any msg sounds which was unusual, i decided to check it!! THAT was when i saw the text!!!! Fortunately she got someone to take the kids...but asked me when i could get there, as they were expecting company later in the day and needed to prepare. It was the woman that i once THOUGHT was my friend...but found out the hard and hurtful way that she was not. I told my daughter i would be back from the flea market at noonish and would get them then, dreading that i would have to speak to the woman...i prefer no contact. i made it back there a little after 12, and spent as few moments talking to her as conceivably possible...and headed home, hopeful that this would not start her trying to contact me again.
I am a good, and true blue friend until you do something that hurts me to the core and refuse to own up to it. Then i burn that bridge. i can forgive....but i do not forget. SO...that being said, the friends that i treasure and trust, are indeed the light of my life and the warmth in my heart. i may not have many....but the ones i have are golden!
Aggie Ring loves a good "selfie!"
I could tell that Aggie Ring was impressed. After several moments of silence he spoke out and said, “If my Eyes of Texas aren’t deceiving me, that’s the biggest damn lightbulb I’ve ever seen! I guess it’s true… Everything IS bigger in Jersey!”
The Aggie Ring woke me up early this morning. In fact it was even before 11:30 a.m. so I knew he wanted to do something. I asked the Aggie Ring, “What do you want to do Aggie Ring?” The Aggie Ring replied, “I want to go see the lightbulb!” I wasn’t sure what he was talking about so I said, “What lightbulb?” The Aggie Ring said with emphasis, “Let there be LIGHT!” Then it hit me. Aggie Ring wanted to drive him up the Parkway to the site of Thomas A. Edison’s Menlo Park laboratory so he could see the Art Deco Edison Memorial Tower and “Big Ass Lightbulb!”
Other than the time he told me that he thought Elvis took our change in a tollbooth on the New Jersey State Turnpike, Aggie Ring has great ideas. It’s only about a 20 to 25 minute drive up the Parkway from our house so Aggie Ring and I set off to see the Edison Memorial Tower. The last time we’d been there it had been in horrible shape and they were beginning work on restoring it. That was a bit over a year ago so I assumed that Aggie Ring figured out that they would be finished with the conservation work on the historical site.
When we drove down the little side street where the tower is located the Aggie Ring was overwhelmed with awe at the restored site. Aggie Ring was truly “speechless!” It’s just as beautiful as the day it was built. They did an incredible job on the restoration. After a few moments sitting in the car just looking out the window Aggie Ring broke his silence and asked me, “Did you bring a cigar? Edison loved his cigars and I think he’d have wanted you to smoke a cigar while you’re looking the place over.” Unfortunately I had left my cigars at home so the Edison “smoke out” will have to happen on a future date.
The laboratory building is no longer at this site but it’s still impressive to think of not only the electric lightbulb, but all of the other great inventions that Mr. Edison invented here. Aggie Ring said, “Imagine. He did all this stuff without the help of an Aggie Ring!”
The Aggie Ring and I walked around the tower and took some photos of the “Big Ass Lightbulb” and the historical plaques at its base. The Aggie Ring and I are planning on going back some evening when the lightbulb is illuminated. Aggie Ring said, “It would be cool if you could get a photo during a thunderstorm when there’s lightning behind the tower.” I told Aggie Ring, “You’re crazy! I’m not standing out in a field during a lightning storm with an Aggie Ring on my finger! Maybe if we can get a VMI grad to come with us. Their rings are so damn big a lightning bolt would hit one of them before us!”
Aggie Ring said, “It’s a good thing Edison invented the lightbulb or there’d be a lot of Waggies drinking their tequila shots by candlelight!” I told the Aggie Ring, “True… Those Waggies love their tequila the invention of the lightbulb makes it a lot easier for them to pour the tequila and do body shots!”
Aggie Ring asked me to provide some info on the Edison “Big Ass Lightbulb” Memorial Tower for your educational enlightenment (“Get it?” Aggie Ring said):
Thomas Alva Edison Memorial Tower and Menlo Park Museum, New Jersey
"Let there be light." Thomas Alva Edison's Menlo Park Laboratory and Memorial Tower. Those of us on the Jersey Shore call it the "Big Ass Lightbulb!”
The Edison Tower, located on the site of the original laboratory at Menlo Park, New Jersey, to which Thomas Alva Edison moved in 1876, was erected in 1937 as a monument to the great inventor. The Tower is the gift of William Slocum Barstow to the Thomas Alva Edison Foundation Incorporated in behalf of the Edison Pioneers. It was dedicated on February 11, 1838, the ninety-first anniversary of the inventor's birth.
Rising 131 ft. 4 in. above the ground, the tower looms as the highest discernible object for many miles. Surmounting the 117 ft. 8 in. concrete-slab structure is a 13 ft. 8 in. replica of the original incandescent lamp which, when illuminated, can be seen for a distance of several miles. It once served as an airplane beacon. The Tower is designed for pressure of wind at a velocity of 120 miles per hour. In its construction, which consumed slightly less than eight months, approximately 1200 barrels of Edison Portland cement and 50 tons of reinforced steel were used.
The large bulb on top of the Tower was cast by the Corning Glass Works. The replica bulb contains 153 separate pieces of amber tinted Pyrex glass, 2 in. thick, set upon a steel frame. The bulb is 5 ft. in diameter at the neck and 9 ft. 2 in. in diameter at the greatest width and weighs, without the steel frame on which it is placed, in excess of three tons. Before the restoration, inside this Pyrex glass bulb were four 1000 watt bulbs, four 200 watt bulbs, and four 100 watt bulbs. A duplicate of each was arranged as automatically to cut in should its companion bulb fail.
The Edison Tower has been completely restored and when complete, the bulb is now illuminated with modern Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology. Mr. Edison would be pleased with this, I’m sure.
While we don’t have any records of exactly what was said when Mr. Edison perfected his invention, I suspect one of his workers shouted out something like this: “Holy Mother of Baby Jesus on a Donkey!” “Mr. Edison, You’ve done it!!! You’ve perfected the Electric Light!!! You truly are King of Kings!!!!”
The tower is located on a mysterious plot of land and exactly at midnight on the night of a full moon, it would be a perfect site for the ritual sacrifice of virgins. Too bad we don’t have any of those in New Jersey! :-)
