Now, up until today, I have never blocked anyone on Flickr and as much as I like to think that somehow, all of a sudden, each and everyone of these pretty gals are flocking over to my photostream to woo and swoon over my images, invite my curious eyes to glance upon their nether regions and beyond... a part of me (the more sensible part) is rather unsure that this is the case. Besides, they all got names I can't even pronounce!
Btw, of note: I didn't get permission from any of them to use their likenesses... so sue me!
Fortunately just a few sheep or I could have been late for work! The young lady shepherd on her quad bike had them moving quickly past me and wasn't using her sheep dogs which were on the back of the bike. The sheep caught the light as they crested the hill on this frosty winter morning.
Edit: I must dedicate this to Schrek the Sheep who died today, 6/6/11. He made world news when he was found hiding in a cave for 6 years and had a huge fleece. He also was shorn on an iceberg of the coast from our city. He was 17 years old or about 90 in human years.

This place was like post apocalyptic ghost town completely abandoned in the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately it doesn't exist anymore and picture above was taken almost one year ago.
Dawn Greets Block Island
For my birthday I spend the weekend on Block Island, a small island off the southern coast of Rhode Island. On the first afternoon I scouted out this beach, and thought it just might be a nice place to watch the sunrise.
I hit the streets at 4 am and had a very nice and peaceful walk along to beach, looking for just the perfect spot. The rock made for a nice foreground. I setup my camera, cranked up my music and watched Mother Nature do her beautiful work. I consider myself blessed to be witness to mornings like this.
Enjoy!
As many of you may have noticed, I love the water. Put me near the coast and I could happily take photos all day long. I never get tired of the way the water moves along beach, and was fascinated by this scene on Block Island
Enjoy!
Except for shopping, which is a biggy, every Block Island activity is represented in this image! See my additional Block Island scenes at flic.kr/s/aHsmHkWEph

This "pinwheel" block is called Counterspun. I could see doing each blade in a different fabric, or varying them more, for a really fun quilt.

The pretty America 2.0, the Adirondack III, the Western Union, the Appledore, the Jolly Rover II and many other tall ships are credited with helping to keep Key West's maritime traditions alive for years
to come. Always a joy to see skimming across Key West Harbor.

The wonkiness was intentional, but now it's kind of killing me! Oh well, other than that, I LOVED making this block and I'm happy with how it turned out. So fun - thank you, Cara!
A Montana Rail Link Engineer signs the Block Register at Sappington, Montana. MRL's Harrison Branch (6th Subdivision) is Block Register Territory. Trains or maintenance-of-way crews must sign this register book prior to occupying the track. If no one else is registered, they fill out the required information to gain sole occupancy of the main track. If someone is already registered, they must contact that person and reach an understanding that the limits will be occupied jointly, and both must operate at restricted speed.
VP534 (LK04CUH) is seen on the 460 at Cricklewood Broadway having been told to terminate here, we see the blinds between "North Acton" and Park Royal ASDA, these buses will be truely missed by many if not all enthusiasts!
Remember when you were a kid. No Play Station...no ipod...no internet...no MTV. Life was simple and so were our toys. I found these blocks in the Heights Toy Store and thought about the "old" days when times and troubles seemed simpler. It made me feel nostalgic and I thought I would share the feeling with you.

An old fabric/wallpaper printing block we bought last week, comprising a heavy wooden block with the design built up in metal shapes. Makes a rather lovely print, as you can see here
Unused image from a shoot/ review for Blocks Magazine (Issue 25).
I loved working with 10252 Volkswagen Beetle, really lent itself to being shot on location at sunset- and Mother Nature delivered right when it mattered most!
