My bleeding hearts are doing well in the garden this year, I love being able to photograph the flowers and plants I have grown, 2 of my favourite hobbies combined.
Here in Victoria, we have this persistent preoccupation with the weather. Much of the time we're bragging about it - celebrating flowers when most of the rest of the country is knee-deep in snow. But... come spring and summer... our attention turns to whining. And this is... apparently... a very old tradition.
I have a stack of Victoria Daily Colonists dating back to 1903. (How I came to have them is another story for another time.) Anyway, I had to laugh when I saw this ad for an ice cream parlour - in the July 26 issue - with a big headline asking, "Is It Ever Going to be Warm?"
How little things change in 105 years. After a couple of months of crying about the cold we've had so far in 2008 (and we have had record breaking cold weather), many in these parts are way revved up because the forecast for the next few days is... ready for it? Sunshine. Not just sunshine, but record-breaking temps. At least on Friday, and only away from the water. But still. Many people are keen to enjoy it... especially since it's supposed to all be over by Sunday.
Personally, I am looking forward to seeing the weather dry enough to finally get our lawns mowed. And yes, it would be nice (if the forecast is correct) to be able to go for a walk without a toque.
But cold wet weather has its advantages. My tulips are only just now giving up. And the other spring flowers are likewise enjoying a very long reign in the garden. Like these guys. And check the droplets. You don't get those from bright sunny skies.
So... yeah. Warm weather? Sure, bring it on. Cold? Wet? That's fine too. And hey... at least in these parts we're never short of topics for small talk.
Many locomotives operated by short-line railroads show some signs of a former owner's livery. In the case of this unit of the Decatur Junction Railroad it is the Family Lines System. The DJ operates several miles of the Illinois Central's Charter Line between Assumption, Illinois (where this photo as made) and Decatur, Illinois.

Whatever path you chose, make sure it has a heart....

I'm not sure if this lights up at night. I remember it being lit a few years ago.

Pushing my photoshop skills here. Im not so good at, but I had an Idea that I just had to execute. This is for MACRO MONDAYS THEME LOVE SONGS. Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis. Macro of a small heart that I drew on the bathroom window after it was all steamed up. Added the color with photo shop. Im not that good with it and I think I like it plain black and white better. not sure. Ahh drama. HMM
