ODT - ON YOUR GROCERY LIST
Taken before daybreak on a hike to Broken Top, an old volcanic crater in the Cascades range. Shot at f22, 1/8sec, ISO 100. Post done in PS with additional sky using the Lavender filter in OnOne. These wildflowers are usually not accessible until late August/early Sept.
Today I was promised a glorious Sunset, the skies had the right amount of the clouds, the light was becoming true gold, but then, the promise was broken with clouds covering the skies. Next time, please keep your promises :) Cheers everyone

You have to look at what you have, not what you had.

Being a futurist, there is only one thing I could add to the quote. That I look at what I will have and to help others as well. Looking ahead can be very motivating. Looking for the best light to see things in is a treasure hunt in itself. In the case of this pic, it's some proverbial lemonade.
Monday, I get a knock on the door. Not naming any names, but it's the two kids from next door. Two brothers out playing baseball in the street, the younger one has quite the arm. The baseball he threw accidentally landed in the rear window of that same Japanese car I was talking about on my E Z post and shattered the glass. It can all be fixed. And actually, I was happy be able to take some cool pics.
So, I have this car with broken glass, it starts to rain. I don't normally park my car in the garage, so I had to spend time making room. My dog Blondie, healing from her recent injury has to be on a leash while she is outside. It kept raining this week. So I'm getting rained on left and right. The guy comes to fix the window and the window is broken right out of the box. So he has to come back. The second time missing a piece, the third time, broken again. It's still raining. My window is still not fixed. And the power went out twice this week. Once while I was commenting on an intruiguing abstract and the other while commenting on someone's self portrait here on Flickr.
But as I go back into my house after being rained on, I see on TV people in Japan getting snowed on, with no house to go back into. Recently homeless pets with no more master. No garage to park their car into. Or no car anymore. No food to eat. No electricity or utilities. It's not pretty and there still are aftershocks. Amazingly, there's no looting.
For this past week, I just thought it was important to put aside some other things I was going to post and do things to show support instead. Hopefully, I have found some good resources for those of you who are willing to show you care. It's so 'do-able' even though we have 'stuff' going on in our lives. Beneficial and uplifting to those affected. Who would not want to offer that in a time of need?
As I was taking these pics, I promised the kids that I would use them to benefit others in some way especially if they have moved to earthquake country. Broken glass...even a 5.0 can result in a lot of broken glass. The Northridge Quake, a 6.8...everything that was in the kitchen cabinets was out and on the floor broken. Aquariums fell over and broke. Pictures fell off the wall and broke. Stuff from shelves and bookcases. Windows broke. So brace what you can and make sure to have some shoes nearby.
The kids and the baseball...who is to blame? The one who threw the ball or the one who didn't catch it?
And if anyone has some selective focus tips, I'd love to hear them. :-)))
Please!! NO Awards or Large Graphics...Group Buddy Icons are OK. Thank You!

Fat Ralfey resting at Broken Boulder trail head, abutting Podunk road.
P.S. Ralfey is an anagram of Farley.
Philip and I pulled into another cool town along the BNSF Sand Hills Subdivision: Broken Bow. The railroad runs a couple blocks east of the downtown, beyond where the old brick-lined streets end.
Up at the crossing is Phil, grabbing a different angle and a Broken Bow police officer, who drove by and wasn't bothered by me standing on top of a six-foot ladder in the street.
I always feel that there's something slightly magical about a stone wall.
It has history, a sense of past and of all the things humans build, it's probably the most in tune with the landscape and nature - that and willow fences and hedging! :-)
It's not a pyramid or a stone crafted palace by any means, but it is someone's art, someone's vision and their sweat and toil that makes it so unique.
I always wonder who it was that built it and perhaps when. And too, who has repaired it over the years.
Derbyshire is very fortunate to have a glut of stone walling and to a very large extent, it "styles" much of our landscape and shows off it's history too. Back to the days when land was divided and more people worked the land or farmed.
Here's to the tradition of Stone Walling and may it long continue!
Here's the story: I accidentally smashed my $1,600 24mm 1.4 L-lens after taking it ouf of my backpack. Since I always look on the bright side of things, I saw this as a challenge to grow. Let's create a set with a broken cam that can't even focus anymore. This is what I came up with:
A trippy & abstract photo set dipped in red about broken characters captured with a broken lens by a former broken soul. I took this set in the drug-filled, sex-addicted veins of the most liberal city on earth: Amsterdam! An incredibly intense 3-week journey of getting to know all drug dealers and sex workers personally, feeling the liberating, but sometimes rather creepy vibe on the streets and eventually being accepted as the creative soul of this unique district.

Our Daily Challenge ~ Broken
Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire is an ancient woodland where some of the oak trees are many hundreds of years old. This old tree is being held together with metal bands to prevent it from splitting in two.
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated

While out on Sunday enjoying the beautiful weather, I made time to stop at some of my favorite places around here. At the East Lawrence Grain Elevator in Lawrence, KS.
I am a broken soul, I live in a broken home
I am the broken window in that house
I sit and watch the world around me break
as I myself break, break away into pieces, falling into this broken world, my house is filled with broken dreams
broken past, broken promise, broken futures
my life has been broken, it has fallen to pieces.....

Broken Bow Lake was created in the 1960's as the Mountain Fork river was dammed up. It forced the community of Hochatown to relocate to it's present day location, just north of Beavers Bend State Park. It is a clear, clean, and magnificent lake that stretches over 20 miles into the Ouchita and Kimichi wilderness. The lake consists of more than 14,000 acres and 180 miles of shoreline.With it's pristine shimmer, the water attracts travelers year round. As for activities, guests of the lake will never fall short of finding something to do. Fishing, boating, jet skiing, scuba diving, swimming, water skiing, and visiting one of the many islands shores, are all enjoyed time and time again.
Broken Bow Lakes shoreline is all natural. No docks or permanently connected structures are allowed. The shore is managed by the Corps of Engineers. The only area where you will find such buildings are at the one and only marina and the State Park's Beavers Bend Lodge. Fishing at the lake is rapidly becoming a favorite of vacationers and locals alike. There are many species of fish found in the lake. They include largemouth Bass, small mouth bass, channel catfish, crappie, walleye, spotted bass, and white bass. Fishing guides can make your outings more enjoyable and productive.

Having originally set out to find some Autumn colour around Dartmoors rivers, I ended up finding this tree on my way home which I thought might benefit with an extreme contrast look.
The original St. Mary's Junction Station from 1858, today it's home to an amazing craft brewery, Broken Rail Brewing.

Happy Fence Friday! This was taken downtown and underground in a Metrolink station that was closed for repairs. It was a bit eerie down there and very quiet. Hope you all have a wonderful Friday!
Broken windows in an old B-17 hanger at the abandoned WWII Army Air Corps base in Wendover, Utah. Happy Window Wednesday!
I first visited this old Army Air Corps base in Wendover, Utah back in June of 2007 and have returned a few times for more exploration. In the years between visits much has happened by way of preserving and even restoring this fascinating piece of history. To see images from both this visit and the 2007 visit check out the album here: www.flickr.com/photos/19779889@N00/albums/72157601973705978
