You could tell that the people who dressed up were so freaking excited at having their pictures taken. And people were so freaking excited to take pictures of them.
First things first I am afraid I have been at the vignette again... I will stop myself and work through my current obsession soon I promise.
I took at trip at lunchtime to the scrapyard in Brampton. In the end, despite the enormous array of photographic subjects available, I had to rush. I asked a man who worked there if I could take a few shots and he agreed, but talked to me about photography for the next 30 minutes, leaving me about 12 seconds to run round taking random photos.
As I'd got that far I thought I would have to use one. Nice man, but he did narrow down my window of opportunity a little! I briefly selected this for my 365 but to be honest I am not that keen so am going for something else instead.
Strange display at The Barras flea-market, Glasgow.

So apparently there was a "suspicious" package in my neighborhood today. I only learned this when I was headed to Walgreen's
It turned out to be nothing, but it left me questioning all this hype about attacks. I starting to believe that it is more hype and just a way to scare us into fearing people, places and things.
if this was an actual "emergency" shouldn't we see official people doing the work required to keep us safe? Instead of some complete stranger standing at one corner directing traffic while yelling at people "you cant go that way because there's a bomb up there"?

It's inevitable. You can't stop it. No matter how hard you try and no matter how you fight it and push back tears and cling on to innocence and childhood and everything you know, it still falls apart before your tear stained face.
You're frightened, hurting, scared to death of the future, afraid you'll slip into a life of the anonymous commuter, a face in the sea of millions of droplets ebbing and flowing with the society and socialistic world and the fads and sameness.
In that childhood you could fly and swim around the world and become planets and swing in space and battle away demons and dragons and live on top of the world, in a cloud. You could do anything and be anything and you didn't have to worry about petty things.
But now we drive and have jobs and search for colleges and are trying to make a name for ourselves, and it's harder than we imagined. We have no idea what we're doing or how to do it but people expect us to do it regardless.
How does one grow up? You don't know the answer, and neither do I. But we've got to face the inevitable. It's going to happen whether we like it or not.
It's time to grow up, little girl.
Sierra has been teaching Maverick where his bellybutton is. Be on guard, he's not afraid to lift your shirt and make sure you have one too.

So, my camera club, 'Misfits With Cameras' (formerly known as Club Blatz) had a little outing today. It definitely appealed to the 9 year old boy in me. David Letterman and his rooftops had noting on Chris and his 'Claw':)

Sue (nods): “That could be the reason, yep. I’m afraid that’s just the life of a musician. Wait until he gets on tour. Oooh, it’s going to get even worse.”
Sybil: (gives Sue a scared look)
Sue: “Not that you should be afraid of any temptations of tour life… Uh, I’ll just shut up now. Sorry. I’m not helping at all, am I?”
Sybil: “Actually, you just gave me an idea… (shakes her head) But I don’t even want to think about it… No, it can’t be that.”
Sue (baffled, takes a hold of Sybil’s hand): “Syb, give me an honest answer now… You don’t think… I mean, you’re not suspecting that… (gulps) Elliot is taking some substances?”
Sybil (rolls eyes frustrated): “Now you said it! That’s exactly what I didn’t want to hear or even think about!”
Sue: “Sorry… I know it’s a stupid assumption. He wouldn’t do it – not anymore.”
Sybil: “It fits the symptoms, though. I’ve also noticed that his appetite has become worse. For instance, he usually keeps a box of donuts in the kitchen cabinet. He thinks I don’t notice it when it’s on the bottom shelf behind the garbage can, because he’s the one who takes the garbage out. You wouldn’t believe it when you look at his hair or clothes, but he’s actually tidier than me, and he often does housework and never forgets to feed Faline.”
Sue (smiles impishly): “I do believe he’s tidier than you. I’ve seen your bedroom, girl.”
Sybil (blushes): “Anyway, Elliot thinks I don’t approve of him eating that much sugar. And that might have been the case at some point, but not anymore… He hasn’t even touched the donuts lately! They actually dried up and I secretly replaced them with new ones yesterday. I don’t think he even noticed, because they’re still all there.”
Sue (stunned): “Oh... And we know how much he loves his donuts.”
Sybil: “Exactly. And I just remembered that whenever we’ve been together… intimately… I mean, he has gotten so excited that he has hurt me…”
Sue (shocked): “What?”
Sybil: “Not intentionally! He stopped when I told him to. But it’s like he couldn’t control himself on his own… And the next minute he’s out. He seems like he wants me, but when it comes down to it… um, then he either really, really wants me, or he doesn’t at all. He switches on and off like a robot. It’s all or nothing for him. He scares me sometimes. Maybe that’s why he’s avoiding me now? He doesn’t want to hurt me…”
I am afraid of real frogs but when I always Imagine them in a cuter form. And I always thought the plants by the pond are sausages stuck on grass stems. All frogs, tadpoles, plants and lily pads are made of kiwi, kiwi skins and raisins.
Be afraid . Be very afraid.
The Statue of Liberty. A gift of friendship from the people of France to the United States "The Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World" is recognized as a universal symbol of freedom and democracy.
President Donald Trump has deployed the National Guard to Washington DC - and more cities across the country could well follow. While the troops may, for his supporters, represent hard presidential power in a Democrat-run city perceived to be out of control, they are not actually fighting crime (nor are they the right tool to do that) and they are not focused on the nation's immigration challenges. They are simply a visual projection of his power.

Cliff top view overlooking the Grose Valley near Mount Hay in the Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia. It's quiet, so quiet I can hear a distant waterfall and the river far below.

This little guy wasn't doing so well, and he landed on a newspaper in my laundromat. What was more amusing was that he landed right over the word "help" in the headline. It's a little hard to tell that from the picture.
