Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a green day at Color my World Daily and we all need vitamins. So why not an orange, egg and lemon mix to boost our vitamins intake. And since I have a very busy day ahead (with some major laundry folding, vacuuming and a 10km run) I will need the extra energy and motivation for sure!!
Happy green day !! See you later my friends !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !!
I have no idea what this plant is but tucked into the bushes, the reddish leaves caught my attention. In this HSS edit, I've emphasized the shadowy branches I was shooting through and boosted a few sliders in LR to deepen the colors! Hope everyone has a Happy Sliders Sunday!
Promoters of Echinacea believe it boosts the immune system. Seeing these first thing on a dewy morning certainly boosted my mood even without ingesting any of it.
Featuring new release from Kartel & Bondi!

I took this yesterday on my neighborhood walk. I boosted it with the Chrome option on my phone for Sliders Sunday - HSS!
I spotted this Red-Tailed hawk on a tree branch, concentrated on its prey moving in the grass at the edge of an irrigation canal. Hawks usually fly away when they spot someone from far away. This time the prey seemed to have mesmerized the hawk. That gave me time to close in and hide behind the next tree’s trunk when the hawk decided to strike, disapearing in the tall and dense grass. I layed down low and waited for movement. He finally showed up with whatever was left of a vole or mole.

Se prendre pour Moïse, l’espace d’un instant, et fendre l’eau à pied ou à vélo. Incongrue, l’expérience est pourtant possible, à Bokrijk, dans le Limbourg. Inaugurée en avril 2016, « Traverser l’Eau à vélo » est une expérience cycliste unique qui permet de parcourir la distance 212 mètres à travers un étang de la réserve de Wijers, dans « le pays des 1.001 étangs ». D’une rive à l’autre. Au milieu du parcours, l’eau est au niveau des yeux offrant une vue magnifique et unique sur la nature. Parfois, les yeux dans les yeux avec un cygne ou un canard. Le plus amusant est de voir les têtes des cyclistes passer à la surface de l’eau. Bien sûr, la piste cyclable est également accessible aux marcheurs et aux joggeurs.
Non seulement la création de cette piste a boosté la popularité de l’industrie du cyclo dans le Limbourg, mais elle a également eu un impact environnemental positif sur la réserve De Wijers. La qualité de l’eau dans la région s’est améliorée. Comme les digues ont été ouvertes, les étangs restent propres plus longtemps ce qui est une bonne chose pour le biotope des amphibiens dont le nombre a considérablement augmenté. De son côté, la croissance du tourisme a entraîné un financement accru pour les projets de conservation de la nature dans la réserve.
Take yourself for Moses, for a moment, and go through the water on foot or by bicycle. Incongruously, the experience is nevertheless possible, in Bokrijk, in Limburg. Inaugurated in April 2016, "Crossing the Water by bike" is a unique cycling experience that allows you to cover the distance of 212 meters through a pond in the Wijers reserve, in "the land of 1.001 ponds". From one bank to the other. In the middle of the course, the water is at eye level offering a magnificent and unique view of nature. Sometimes eye to eye with a swan or a duck. The funniest part is watching the heads of the cyclists pass over the surface of the water. Of course, the cycle path is also accessible to walkers and joggers.
Not only did the creation of this track boost the popularity of the Limburg cyclo industry, it also had a positive environmental impact on the De Wijers reserve. The quality of water in the region has improved. As the dikes have been opened, the ponds stay clean longer which is a good thing for the amphibian habitat, which has increased in number considerably. For its part, the growth of tourism has resulted in increased funding for nature conservation projects in the reserve.
1937 CORD 812 Supercharged Sportsman Coupe
The new Cord 810’s front-wheel drive was a decided improvement over previous systems, replacing double universal joints with constant-velocity units that enabled independent transverse springing, an industry first. So too were the Lycoming 288 CI V-8 engine and Bendix preselector gearbox. Fitted with a 2-barrel carburetor, aluminum heads, intake and pistons, and rated at 125 HP in naturally aspirated form, the Lycoming V-8’s output leapt to 170 HP with supercharging.
With a new “812” designation, the 1937 Cord offered a new optional Schwitzer-Cummins centrifugal supercharger giving up to 6 PSI boost and increasing peak output to upwards of 190 HP and 272 lb-ft of torque, figures that contributed to a series of Bonneville records set by racer Ab Jenkins in 1937, including a 24-hour average speed of 101.72 MPH that stood for 16 years.

........... Getting to the "out-takes" at this point.
Seemingly random phrases stencilled into the rusty metal facade of the Wave apartment building on Gilles Street in the city.
Looking good on both ends back on May 4, 1980 as the daily eastbound Toledo Peroria & Western freight headed by their lone GP30 gets an old fashioned boost out of Peoria by Nickle Plate 765 which had arrived the day before and would pull excursions the following weekend.
One morning, in "Parc de sceaux", it was foggy and the low light was coming through the trees. All I had was my samsung S4 camera phone, but it did the job :).
In terms of post-processing, I adjusted the white-balance of the picture (in the gimp, G'MIC) to make it a bit warmer. I used a "chromaticity boost" filter (G'MIC also), and for the side of the picture I duplicate the picture in a layer on top, using a "multiply" effect on the layer, and I edited the mask to have this effect only on the sides (top left and lower right). It increases the contrast in a way I like.
These where made at ExPornStar on Newyearseve in Happy Dayzz. A club in Culemborg.

18 august 2006
this entry is late...mostly because it's taken me a few days to get over the events of this past tuesday's training class.
as some of you already know, matea has fear issues with other dogs, stemming from 4 months of bad experiences at dog parks when she was 8-10 mos of age. add to that her breed - GWPs are bred for "sharpness", meaning if they perceive a threat they're going in, and matea is definitely the quintessential GWP - plus she's a female, and a wannabe alpha...even though with her own pack of at least five other dogs, she's a big pushover.
in class, cheryl - my new hero in dog training and behavior - sometimes has exercises in controlled chaos...dogs retrieving across each other's paths, toys flying everywhere, excitement amped up...all to create dogs who are more interested in working with/for their handler than be distracted by other dogs.
for matea, such exercises are brilliant as it boosts her confidence, showing her that she can work around other dogs and focus on the task at hand without perceiving a threat from every dog she encounters. and she's doing wonderfully. we'd not had a single incident with matea in almost 4 mos of classes, even if another dog accidentally bumps into her or gets into her face.
...until this past tuesday.
taz (an older jack russell...ironically sold to cheryl by another friend of mine who breeds JRTs and has a wirehaired pointer as well!) was in class. during a controlled-chaos exercise, matea was heading out - full steam - to retrieve her tennis ball for me...dogs everywhere, and go figure the ball should roll under taz, the JRT.
taz spun, facing off with matea, and matea had her head down, totally wanting to back away. this was my interpretation of her reaction, and it was confirmed by cheryl after class when we reviewed the event.
matea was actually making the decision to forget the ball, and more importantly, forget the JRT, deciding neither was worth it. if i'd called her back, i truly believe she would have come. but since cheryl's goal is to build this dog's confidence, i stuck to the task at hand: "fetch...fetch." then, apparently, taz made the first challenge/snap. at that point the GWP sharpness kicked in and matea was on her. you've never heard such screaming...cheryl assured me later that taz had been through WAY worse during flyball events, and that her reaction tends to be extreme screaming at just about anything.
with the screaming, the GWP prey-drive kicked in...probably 10 times that of any normal dog. being 50-feet away, i wasn't in the fray until it was over 5 seconds later. 5 seconds that felt like a bloody lifetime. matea was not giving up. BUT let me assure you there was no blood, no injuries, which i suppose i should derive confidence from, in that my dog does have bite inhibition.
i DO believe that had i been right there, the incident would have stopped before it began. however, i wasn't. and fortunately cheryl WAS. AND fortunately taz is one of cheryl's dogs (owned by a niece, i believe). AND fortunately, cheryl is cesar millan in a woman's form. she was calm and assertive, snatching matea's beard and twisting, then holding her by her lips for a good 4 seconds before switching to her happy-voice and saying: "okay! let's go play!"
for the next ten minutes cheryl had me send matea for retrieves with taz right there (held by cheryl), and in fact, growling at matea....a rottie was lunging at the other side of matea (a friendly rottie, but matea doesn't seem capable of discerning the difference), and other dogs at the receiving end. you could literally see matea work through her fears, her body cringing as she came close to the other dogs, yet following through with the task at hand with coaching from me. but it was clear that matea does NOT want confrontation...she was giving the growling JRT a wide berth after that, and not because she'd been reprimanded for fighting. there was really no reprimand.
still, seeing 68 lbs of solid muscle on a little 15 lb JRT is truly frightening. growing up i witnessed the swift death of a pug at the jaws of our one german shepherd...and i saw many fights between our shepherds. any kind of dog fight or scuffle has a major effect on me, even on tv, and i'm working to overcome that.
after class, with her arm around my shoulders, cheryl pointed to matea, lying 20' away on her own in a down even as the JRT was being led past her.... "that is not a bad dog," cheryl said. "if that was a bad dog, i'd be going home and digging a hole tonight."

The vitamin boost doesn't just apply to grapes and tomatoes. Photography often gives me a positive boost (and sometimes a bit frustation when things don't work out well). So now I'm curious what gives you positve energy?

4th gear, 100mph, 18psi... I can't stoppppp!
This is NOT a Photoshop effect. The image was actually taken at a very safe pace with 1" shutter speed. I took about 50 pictures and most of them turned out okay, but I really like this one because the pretty red truck I was passing really gives a great sense of motion. The camera was mounted on a tripod in my car, and the shot was taken with a remote in my hand.
If you like this shot, you may be interested in these shots too. My Explore set, and
Rundle Mall - I like the strong colour contrasts and the subtle signs echoing the action - look carefully 😉

Did you know that it's Beautiful Women Month?
Below is a wonderful poem Audrey Hepburn
wrote when asked to share her "beauty tips." It was read at her funeral years later.
For attractive lips , speak words of kindness..
For lovely eyes, seek
out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the
hungry.
For beautiful hair , let a child run his/her fingers through it once a
day.
For poise , walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone..
People,
even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed,
and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a
helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older,
you will discover that you have two hands ; one for helping yourself, and the
other for helping others.
! If you share this with another woman, something good will happen . . ..
You will boost another woman's self esteem, and she will know that you care about her
And thank you so much Marie-Christine
