i think as humans, we often make ourselves bigger than we really are.
a lot of us need a huge ego check right now. because there are things so much bigger than we are.
testimonials! thank you guys so much! <3 <3 <3
they are amazing and inspirational photographers, please go have a look...or 3 :)
Because the ground is rocky, they can only dig a few feet down at most, and so their graves / crypts are all partially above ground, which makes their cemetery like a cross between a traditional in-ground burial cemetery and the above-ground crypts of New Orleans. I found it interesting.

Sadly, I cannot remember her name, but I recently saw a stand-up comic whose words keep coming back to me. She was talking about masturbation but the point she made struck me as totally describing my relationship with photography. She said she could never get a sexual fantasy to reach fruition because... in her mind... she kept endlessly revising what she wore. And I'm so much the same with photography. I'm so obsessed with setting the scene (and it's never quite right) that I manage to (surprise) avoid shooting altogether. Which is ridiculous and absolutely must stop. Now.
So here's my new strategy - going back to doing things the old fashioned way. By which I mean strapping on my camera, heading out into the world, and seeing what I can see. These oyster catchers were lit in such a way that I couldn't really see them through my camera, so I just kinda shot in their direction. They're so damned cute, it's hard to get a bad picture of them. So yeah... I shot herons and fish and sea anemones and rocks and trees and dried up salt in tide pools. And... no, it wasn't amazing. And no, I didn't get any good shots. But that was not the point. The point was to stop trying so hard and just enjoy the act of shooting for its own sake. (Goodness knows I have enough other things to obsess about. Taking the trying out of photography opens up its therapeutic benefits. Which I really need right now.)
Because Acadia's coast is young, sandy shores are rare. However at Sand Beach, the park's largest feature of this type, shore currents have shifted the tons of sand that the sea eroded from the rocks.
Because my My Happy Garden baby quilt is too baby-sized, I'm aiming for this to become at least a lap-sized quilt for my brother for Christmas.
I bought a number of Munki Munki pieces from Kerri at Sew Deerly Loved, and also got a few charms in swaps with Leah and Amisha. Currently, I have 16 12" blocks made and I think 44 6" blocks made. I've exhausted my supply of Munki Munki for now, and I have a layout in mind that will get me a 54" square quilt.
However...there was that Heather Ross studio sale, right? So, I was thinking of seeing if I would get *any* Munki Munki out of that, and continue to improvise the layout based on that. The delay is furthered by the fact that I actually live in Canada and am hoping that Heather's able to send the package to my cousin, who can then forward it to me.
All in all, I'll be very satisfied if it all gets done by December!
Because it makes a dandy flower vase, can be used to carry water or sweet tea to the hay field, in a pinch it can be used to can food from your garden. Some times it's even been known to hold a quart of liquid lightnin', There are a thousand other uses also.

St Mary Magdalene, Debenham, Suffolk
Debenham is unusual, because it is the largest settlement in East Anglia that the Victorian railways never reached. There was a plan during the 20th Century for trains to serve it, as we shall see. But Victorian industry never troubled it much, except for a brick factory, and because of this it has a quite different character to other Suffolk places of its size.
It is softer, more pastoral, with elegant little shops lining its high street.This isn't a place many people pass through, unless on the back road from Ipswich to Eye. It is more a place that tourists know to be beautiful, and local villages look to for amenities - the Co-op, the school, the sports centre. White's Suffolk Gazetteer of 1844 found about 3,500 people living in and around it, and I do not suppose that there are many more than this today.
St Mary Magdalene is a large, surprisingly urban church. But why not? For in larger places, it is the town that has become more urbanised, not the church. Most towns were once like this. It is set back on a rise above the old market place, although most people will approach it from the west, beside the little parish hall on the high street. Here, the first thing to admire is Suffolk's grandest galilee porch, with its former chapel above. These western porches are most unusual: there is a similar one at Bottisham in Cambridgeshire, and one on the round tower at Mutford. The western extension at Lakenheath was never a porch at all. So here is an experience to savour: you enter the church through a series of unfolding spaces, so that finally opening the double west doors into the nave comes as a surprise. You step out from beneath the recently restored tower. The porches and aisles clustering beneath it create the sense of a cruciform building, which of course it isn't. It is certainly a very old tower, though, with evidence of Norman and even Saxon work on the lower reaches. The upper decorated stage is 14th century, and looks rather unusual for Suffolk, the bell openings being so close to the battlements. This is because it had to be truncated after being struck by lightning in the 17th century. Perhaps its squatness is rather charming. The ring of 8 bells is considered one of the most mellow in the county, and the space beneath them, has several of those boards recording remarkable feats of bell-ringing.
You step into a big church made gorgeous by the brick patterning of the floor, the fruit of Debenham's one major 19th Century industry. Red and white bricks are laid in a diamond pattern, with small floral tiles in the points of the diamonds. It is surely one of the most beautiful church floors in Suffolk, and a sign that, although the inside of this building is almost entirely 19th Century in content and character, this interior is by no means an anonymous one. Grumpy old Cautley pottered about looking for medieval survivals, but this is an interior to enjoy as a whole; as with so many urban churches, the 19th century work contributes to a sense of continuity rather than disrupting it.
There are medieval survivals, as we shall see, but most eyes will be first caught by the striking memorial in the south aisle to John Simpson, who died in 1697. In some ways, this is an unusual date for a memorial of this kind. Here we have a kind of Baroque grandiloquence which will come to full flower for great landowners and heroes over the next half a century, and which will become increasingly secularised until we get the typically entirely pagan 'memorials' of the middle of the 18th Century onwards. But here, Simpson seems concerned to have left the parishioners a catechetical tool, a protestant equivalent of the glass, wall paintings and sculptures intended to reinforce Catholic orthodoxy in the years before the Reformation.
Two other former Debenham citizens lie in the chancel. Sir Charles Framlingham and his wife appear to have been woken suddenly from sleep, their eyes wide and staring, as if terror-struck. Her ruff is fabulous. Their recumbent effigies lie on a rather battered tombchest, its kneeling figures doubtless removed by enthusiastic parishioners of John Simpson's predecessors in the middle of the 17th Century, who misinterpreted them as Saints. What little coloured glass this big church has is up in the chancel, all of it fairly good. The Victorians placed triple lancets in the east, rather than the more familiar large-scale Perp revival, and this creates a sense of intimacy. The crucifixion in the east window is sombre and detailed, but best of all are the figures of St Columba and the Blessed Virgin at the Annunciation that remember the Dove family on the south side.
At the east end of the south aisle, the apparatus for a chantry altar is still in place, with a piscina, and the rood loft stairs opening off of it rather than in the nave or chancel. At the east end of the north aisle is a curiosity, a piscina made up of odds and ends rescued from elsewhere, including a fine 13th Century Bishop's head. The font is a rather battered late medieval example, with an elegant 17th Century cover. Above the chancel arch, the rood beam is still in place. Like so many survivors, its bulk must have made the 16th century reformers wary of removing it, lest the church fall down without it.
Just to the north of Debenham, the remarkable Mid-Suffolk Light Railway ran on its way from Haughley Junction to Laxfield (it was planned to reach Halesworth, but this never materialised). This early 20th Century enterprise was the setting for John Hadfield's novel Love on a Branch Line, and was still remembered fondly by older Suffolkers when I moved to the county forty years ago. At the time of the First World War, a spur was built from Kenton Junction to a field just north of Debenham. It was an expensive and hare-brained extension, for permission to carry passengers along this stretch was never obtained, and nor was the last stretch into Debenham itself ever built.
So, Debenham fended off the iron giants to the very last, and they will never come now. Use of the spur for goods traffic was discontinued after a few short years, and the rails were removed. The cost of this spur contributed ultimately to the Middy's demise. Although very little evidence of this company's railway survives today, there are substantial remains of a bridge and embankment of the Kenton-to-Debenham spur on the road to Aspall, about a mile north of the church. The traffic rushes by, but to clamber up on this overgrown ridge is to consort with ghosts.
We got a new kitten!!! We are having trouble picking a name for him, so if you are reading this, I would like to know your opinion or any other suggestions for that matter. So far, we have five:
Draco - in reference to Dracorex Hogwartsia, a dinosaur recently discovered in South Dakota in 2006.
Elroy - just because it's cute.
Scooter - because it's cute, and Julian and I used to joke about naming our kid that back in the day.
Ludwig - very historical, it's Beethoven's first name.
Troodon - there's supposed to be 2 dots above the second 'o', and it's pronounced TRUE-don. It's also the name of the first described Dinosaur from N.America which was in 1856. It was also the smartest dinosaur ever discovered (so far) and it had stereoscopic vision!
Because there is happiness to be found under the surface.
The Finnish cousins checking it out at Shoal Bay Beach on Anguilla, BWI.
Because boys are too dumb. (I put mine on shortly thereafter)
This was prior to returning to the water (48F that day....brr!)

Eagles always look like they're angry. Maybe they just don't care much for all the paparazzi? Anyway, we who take their images are very glad to see them.
Rhinophrynus dorsalis
Loma Alegre, Diriamba
Carazo, Nicaragua
The Mexican Burrowing Toad is a really special one. This species is found from south Texas to north Costa Rica. In Nicaragua, it ranges on the pacific versant. This species is the only one within its genera and family. It has been evolving separately from other amphibians since around 190 million years ago.
This toad spends most the time underground and only come to the surface during the first rains of the wet season to breed. The common local name is “Sapo Borracho” that means “Drunken Toad” because the male calls are similar to a person puking… weird, right?

Because of the ongoing extreme eruption of the Kilauea volcano, we have had heavy haze or "vog" that has all but obscured the ocean.The wind blows in our favor this morning.
(Wet Edition)
Because of the dull weather I used the vintage EOS 1D Mk.III today. After the 5D Mk.III debacle with rain in New York I dont dare to use the 5D Mk.IV in the rain anymore. The 1D however, is a beast. It has had no problem with todays severe rain....
Note: if you are in this photo and you want to be off the internet just mail me and it will be deleted.
Because we have a tiny, VERY antiquated kitchen, when we were forced to buy a new dishwasher (the old one died after 390 years- Maytag!) we had to replace it with another portable one. NO room to build it in! We decided at that point to change the 1950's old metal doorknobs that scratched the dishwasher all to heck- with wooden ones. These are they- being varnished by DH! ( I think he missed a bit!! Do you see it???)
Because the ground is rocky, they can only dig a few feet down at most, and so their graves / crypts are all partially above ground, which makes their cemetery like a cross between a traditional in-ground burial cemetery and the above-ground crypts of New Orleans. I found it interesting.

Alright so this movie was one that I was looking forward to because I was a big fan of the film that the director made before this one, Mud. I was also really intrigued with the concept of this film about a boy with special powers and his dad trying to protect him. Now I just got back from a screening of this film, so here are my initial thoughts of the film.
Good: Wow, this film was incredible. It had vibes of like classic Steven Spielberg with Close Encounters of the Third Kind and such! After this movie and Man of Steel, Michael Shannon has now become one of my favorite actors to date, his performance of the father in this film was incredible, and you could honestly believe that this guy would do anything for his son, which kinda ties into the central theme of this movie, which is parenting. Now I'm no parent (hopefully), but I could tell that the main message of this film is that parenting is tough and that it's a parent's duty to worry about their kids. Just as a little aside, there's this one scene in the movie where Shannon is going about his duty as a parent, and it sounded a lot like when he was Zod and that whole 'duty to my people' scene in Man of Steel, which I loved. Continuing on with performances, I thought everyone did a great job with this film, even the kid, but I'd have to say my favorite performance was Adam Driver's. That guy is going to be something big in the future, I can just feel it! These movie never ceased to impress me with it's heart, suspense, and action. My eyes were glued to the screen the entire time!
Bad: First off, the CGI wasn't that great, but I get it because it had a small budget, so that was just a nitpick. But I think my biggest problem is that the storytellers didn't really explain enough, there was a lot of stuff in this film that I wanted answers to (that I won't give away), and it would've been really cool if they did explain. I get that they wanted to be some mystery, but I feel like they had too much mystery. Going off that, I wasn't really a fan of the very end of the film, there kindof was this cliffhanger or tease, which kind of goes back to that I wish they would explain more in this film.
Overall, I believe that this film will be looked at as a modern sci-fi classic! Everybody needs to see this film and recognize how great it is because I believe that there could be some serious oscar worthy stuff in here! I'm going to give Midnight Special a 9/10. Seriously, go check this film out!! Also, look forward to my next review this coming weekend, The Jungle Book! I'm so hyped to see that film!
