It's just the little things that make you happy ...
Like this shot for example ...if you notice the focus is on the flower and not the butterfly ...That's because although I could see him fluttering about I couldn't catch him .... he landed as I clicked .... now there's a little thing that made me happy ... the big thing that made me happy that day...is that my Palo and I were on a little road trip .... how cool ....
Enjoy the little things my friends...
Because it's saturday baby and that means cliche! :)
Cheesy smile, bright background,bunches on a woman far too old for those anymore and a brightly coloured lollipop. Pretty sure that ticks a few cliche boxes :)
HCS everyone x
It was difficult to photograph this guy because he is lying down on his back looking to the side. His face is cute though and he has a clam!

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars."
Because we had a early flight from Yangon to Bagan, we were standing here to view the valley of Bagan before 9 o'clock in the morning. One of the main reasons to visited Myanmar for the second time was to see Bagan again.
Because of the darkness I 've done in Bulb mode this capture. Due to the extremely high exposure time of 100 seconds, the rotation of the Earth can be seen : the stars are to strokes ...

"Don't give up
It's just the weight of the world
When your heart's heavy
I...I will lift it for you
Don't give up
Because you want to be heard
If silence keeps you
I...I will break it for you
Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don't give up
Because you are loved
Don't give up
It's just the hurt that you hide
When you're lost inside
I...I will be there to find you
Don't give up
Because you want to burn bright
If darkness blinds you
I...I will shine to guide you
Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don't give up
Because you are loved
You are loved
Don't give up
It's just the weight of the world
Don't give up
Every one needs to be heard
You are loved..."

Komplek pemakaman Masjid Agung Demak, terletak di belakang area Masjid Agung Demak.
Di sini dimakamkan seluruh sultan yang pernah memerintah kerajaan Demak pada zaman dahulu, beserta keluarga dan trah keturunannya.
Setelah kerajaan Demak terpecah-pecah dan akhirnya berakhir,
sekarang komplek pemakaman ini juga digunakan untuk memakamkan pimpinan (Bupati) Demak yang meninggal dalam jabatan.
Sampai saat ini, orang-orang dari segenap penjiri pulau selalu berdatangan untuk berziarah.
Dan tentu saja, karena kami menyayangi mereka yang dimakamkan di sana, kami akan berdo'a untuk mereka..~

Demak Mosque cemetary complex, located in the rear area of the Great Mosque of Demak.
Here are buried throughout the sultans who ruled the ancient kingdom of Demak, their families and descendant.
After Demak kingdom fragmented and finally ended,
this cemetery complex is now also used to bury the leader (Regent) of Demak regency who died while on duty.
Now days people from around island are still come to visit.
And for sure, because we love them, whom buried there, we would pray for them...~
The Volvo 740 was built from 1984 until 1992. It was a less luxurious version of the 760 introduced in 1982. This is a Van version without rear seating. Those were quite popular back then in the Netherlands because of the much lower taxes.
Maybe because my car that was supposed to arrive TODAY still hasn't been shipped, maybe because I have a real paying photoshoot this Sunday where I'll need said car, maybe because I rented the Sigma 10-20 for this shoot.. maybe that's why I'm in a mood today and felt like posting the most offensive tag I've gotten my hands on.
It's OK, I'm Catholic :-)
I stumbled upon this in Louisville with my brother and had to take a ton of brackets.

It's all in good fun; thanks for looking!
Because of its location, this small park catches the early morning sun creating an irresistible interplay of shadow and texture.
Thank you for viewing this image.

oh not because happiness exists,
that too-hasty profit snatched from approaching loss.
but because truly being here is so much; because everything here
apparently needs us, this fleeting world, which in some strange way
keeps calling to us. us, the most fleeting of all.
.... ah, but what can we take along
into that realm? not the art of looking,
which is learned so slowly, and nothing that happened here. nothing.
the sufferings, then. and, above all, the heaviness,
and the long experience of love,- just what is wholly
unsayable.
by Rainer Maria Rilke

Ignazzoid and his news cyborg girlfriend had been a couple for some time now, Ignazzoid was a Insecotoid (according to capital-planet ethnic statistics) or as his species would like to call themselves Bzzz--ZZ--sschss or as the ethnic slur would have it a: Buzzer...
...anyhow because of various biological reasons they were a childless couple... they were poor and lived in a shack down the lover levels, they ran a small business selling rinsed ad recycled technology they found in the suers...
one day they found a bag of credits which a one-in-a-million lucky shot...
they decided to pay there rent to the N´nugulian mafia for two years in advance,,,
they still had some money left so Ignazzoid said to his partner:
- Hey Rivetta, what do you say, I mean we have been together for quite a while now but never had a day out drinking and dancing...
Rivetta said: Yes Darling, a romantic day out just relaxing drinking to our stupor and dance and drink and puke and then dance and puke some more and talk to people other than our costumers! Oh Darling we are gonna have so much fun...
So the couple did as they said and took their first day ever off collecting tech from the stinking underground suer mega-pipes stuffed with the higher levels waste products...
They bought perfume by a local dealer and two 5 liter containers of moonshine from the same sleazy mutant dealer...
...as they said: the perfume is needed to disguise our foul stench from working in the suers and loads of moonshine is needed to intoxicate Rivetta´s cybernetic body and the alien gut of Ignazzoid that is highly resistant to any form of human toxins... leisure one even so!
...after dancing to an old vintage tune they had found on an old mp3 stick from the happy double zeros, the only music they had they said:
Now, now it is gonna happen, we are drunk we are happy and in the mood, lets go out and let our bionic legs work that dance floor...
The knew a illegal disco close by know as the Noise-maze the played noise from electronic noise bands from vintage times like, T-stallion, Nurse with wound and Marlene Diedrich and so one...
when they had stood in queue the for two hours they reached the anti-sound-wall and the entrance the bouncer said:
- Organics only and pointed to their bodies!
Rivetta replied:
But my head and brain is organic and that is what counts isn´t it?
...and when it come to my beloved hubby his species all have bionic lower parts, since they are born without limbs or any other natural way to move about, that is why they fuse them with bot-bodies at birth...
- Eh well, you lady your head is allowed inside, just leave your body int the wardrobe with your bag and other belongings... and you alien guy if your are fused with that exo-body I cannot allow you in...
..they both left in anger...
...then they had an idea: there is an illegal droid-noise-bar next to suer-pipe 2323999b in sector five since the organics won´t have them why not get friendly with the artificials, they had many bot costumers and they were all friendly and polite...
...so on towards the Disco called Drone astro floor...
ok, there was a queue there too...
so 2 hour later they reached the two bouncer-droids...
One had hooks for hands the other one a huge squid-like chunk of a bot...
the big one looked at the couple from top to toe then his optic-sensors rolled around behind his screen as if he did some kind of thinking with really huge and heavy piece of programing... then it said:
- Beep, Beep, calculation and bioscan done: result: Body of female can enter, but fused insectoid-borg cannot, since he is fused with the organic tissues...
Then Ignazzoid said: oh please not again, we just want to have fun, I mean look at us over 50% of our bodies are mech´s no one would tell us apart from a droid, please or if not, please just turn of the anti-sound-wall for an hour, we can dance outside here, and hey look at that Cyber-saur over there it must have a ton of organic tissue on it... much more than the few kilos we possess!
The Huge robot looked towards the hooked one and said:
- Hooker, Tell Them: rules: facts: please/thanks!
The other tinier and more human speaking robot named hooker replied:
- well, that cyber-saur is just parked here by his owner who is a bot... and sure we could probably let you in but if we start gnawing away at the rules, we would loose costumers, I mean what bot would come to a place when all it wants is to get away from their organic master for a brief moment, ...and I mean what would happen if they came here and the place would be full of organics, I mean that would be no relaxation at all...
the big robot agreed by saying:
- Beep, Beep, Hooker: Right! but Beep, Offer we can Make: 50 Kreds!
The smaller bot translated his bouncer-bot friend:
- Yeah well Octo says that for 1 minute we can deactivate the anti-sound-wall so you can dance outside, we can hmm, blame it on a temporary glitch, 50 kredit Please!!!
so the couple payed the bots, but non of them felt like dancing any longer, the listened to the noise, but what hurt them the most was that behind the noise the could hear bots enjoying themselves talking, laughing and chatting...
Then they went home and slept and the next day they went to work filtering the pooh and pee of the upper levels with a huge hangover... and both kind of wishing they wouldn´t find another valuable treasure!!!
Couldn’t get the camera in, because I filled too much space with D&D source books to prepare for evening’s session.
Because you know, they have Custard Cup AND Dairy Queen's out in the big and flat. I think I've already said this, but let me reiterate the danger (read: awesomeness) here...especially since they're the fancy "Grill and Chills" ones and are open all year round! :D
Because of BOOM, that's why!
My new Mobile SAM Launcher, sharing it's hull with the Utau-1 A1 Main Battle Tank.
I hope you like my newest creation. It was a lot of fun to design. Please share your thoughts on this one and thanks for your time!
Because that is nothing better than have a friend to rely on. ;)
The beautiful redhead My Melody belongs to my friend Elisa!!! o^___^o
Because the male of this species is the most colorful songbird up here this lady is often overlooked. She's also a distinctive bird, and her prominent wingbars make for a confident ID among the Tanager family females.

when the sun was with me earlier this week, I took this photograph with the knowing that the grey would return, and i would need to see this warmth.
I took this quickly on my way home from work. I ran out at lunchtime but was not inspired at all. And I just couldn't make myself jump today. After all the walking I did this weekend, my feet are still killing me. And I didn't have a lot of time because I needed to bring my car in to have the brakes looked at. I thought I would need to leave it for tomorrow and even had a friend come to pick me up, but they were able to get the brakes done tonight while I waited at Starbucks, which is just a pretty short walk away.
On my way back, I noticed these two stars in the western sky that I've been noticing all the time on clear nights and it was bothering me that I didn't know which stars or part of a constellation they were. So I stopped and texted a friend and he said that what I was probably seeing was Jupiter and one of its moons and that if I had a pair of binoculars I would probably be able to see the other three moons.
So, I'm standing out in Trader Joe's parking lot and since I didn't have binoculars, I thought I'd try looking through my camera. But the longest lens I had with me was my 85mm, so I stood there trying that. (I couldn't see much more, by the way, I'll be picking up some binoculars tomorrow.) The people next to me were loading their groceries in the car and the woman said to me, "I'm not even going to ask what you're doing..." So I told her about Jupiter and showed her the two things that looked like stars and explained about the moons. She was fascinated, as I had been. We talked for a while as her teenage daughter looked at us like we were the biggest weirdos ever! I teased her daughter about it and we all laughed. It was one of those wonderful, random moments when I make a connection with a total stranger. One of those moments that tells me that everything is going to be alright.

Because of their love for makeup, mirrors were very popular in ancient Egypt. The Egyptian mirrors were made by beating a lump of bronze until it was as thin as a sheet of cardboard. Then it was polished to make it shiny enough to reflect the light from your face. Sometimes these mirrors had handles made out of bone or ivory.
The woman's face with cow's ears represents the goddess Bat and is also an emblem of the goddess Hathor.
Besides being functional, mirrors developed religious and funerary uses. Their circular shape, brightness, and reflective quality suggested to the Egyptians the face of the sun and its life-giving powers and thus the mirror became a symbol of regeneration and vitality.

"I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes.
I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh everyday of my life.
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with."
Because I have been a good patient this last week, I was taken up onto Exmoor last night for a ride out and to get some fresh air.
After a chip supper (We KNOW how to live!!) we went up to where, more often than not, there are wild Exmoor ponies.
These are 3 shots that I thought were worth posting, gone mad with my processing Vignetting but I think it adds to the atmosphere. The mare and foal were some way distant, but the Foal one's were fairly close and obviously not too worried about humans as they just looked up a couple of times as they munched on the grass, but were not worried about us, the car or Charlie having a walk.
