Sunday is probably my favourite weekday, because I listen to CBC radio with Michael Enright in the morning, turn on the fire, look at my plants, hold my Birdie, and often work on my paintings. I am doing a series of paintings of reflections in water, and learning so much in that process of discovery. Willow's walk comes after all of this today, but she is always a priority. I hope all of you are enjoying Sunday.
A few days ago I posted a photograph of a neighbor's purple iris. That was the day I encountered a "wild" hog. Today, while being involved in a calf roundup, I met the owner of the "wild" hog. He happened to be in the area when some wayward calves needed to get back to their mothers. He stopped to help. As we talked, I learned that he recently had a a hog get out - "first time in three years." Hmmm. Yes, he raises hogs. He assured me they are all back where they should be and I do not need to be on high alert for "wild" hogs in our neck of the woods. White Iris - Morgan County, Alabama - 2015.
The camera continues to keep failing to detect my face if I wear nude lipstick.
So, here's a ghost story 👻
When I was about 12, I needed to use the bathroom. The door was closed so I went to the lounge and saw my family there, so I went back and knocked on the toilet door. No response.
So I open the door and see inside there's a floating blue orb hovering mid air. For whatever reason I calmy close the door and go hide in my bed.
After a minute, curiousity (and a need to use the bathroom) overtook me and I went back. Nothing there now. I went inside and saw the window open. The toilet window was never open. I looked outside and saw the gardener working on a sunny Saturday afternoon, nothing unusual.
I never figured out why the window was open, why the door was closed, and what was floating there that day. The window could only be opened from the inside too.
Not everything can be explained. But I sometimes wonder about the orb I encountered, and in the toilet of all places.
It was about half a year ago when started this project and sadly motivation has not been increasing every month that have past.
I'm quite happy with front but the when the comes to the back I'm completely lost right now.
Should I continue for probably six more months or should I take it apart and build more smaller veichles like a hornet?
Continuing with my photoshoot with Annette...
We switched the setup a bit to do some low-key portraits.
Some technical things got me a bit annoyed: why was I getting such a sharp transition from light to dark across her forehead (in this photo, it is more pronounced than in the others I've posted)? Why did my "gray" muslin come out with a purple cast (if I set the white balance to make it gray, Annette comes up looking a bit green). Speaking of white balance, why is it so far off the flash gun's manufacturer's claims of color temperatures?
Strobist info: Yongnuo 560ii through 48" octabox high camera left, foamcore reflector camera right, Youngnuo 560ii through small grid high camera left behind model as accent light, wrinkly gray muslin as backdrop.

Skirt this time. Monday already and the start of another working week. Only 3 days though thankfully so not too long until I get to look like this again. 💋
Continuing the theme of every Carlsson I've seen being off the road or in poor condition! On SORN with no MOT history, current owner since 2002.
To view more image of Marlow, in Buckinghamshire , please click, "here"
Marlow (historically Great Marlow or Chipping Marlow) is a town and civil parish within Wycombe district in south Buckinghamshire, England. It is located on the River Thames, 4 miles (6.5 km) south-southwest of High Wycombe, 5 miles (8 km) west-northwest of Maidenhead and 33 miles (53 km) west of central London. The name is recorded in 1015 as Mere lafan, meaning "Land left after the draining of a pond" in Old English. From Norman times the manor, parish and later borough was formally known as Great Marlow, distinguishing it from Little Marlow. The ancient parish was large, including rural areas north and west of the town. In 1896 the civil parish of Great Marlow, created in the 19th century from the ancient parish, was divided into Great Marlow Urban District (the town) and Great Marlow civil parish (the rural areas). In 1897 the urban district was renamed Marlow Urban District, and the town has been known simply as Marlow Marlow is recorded in the Domesday Book as Merlaue. Magna Britannia includes the following entry for Marlow: "The manor of Marlow, which had belonged to the Earls of Mercia, was given by William the Conqueror, to his Queen Matilda. Henry the First, bestowed it on his natural son, Robert de Melhent, afterwards Earl of Gloucester, from whom it passed, with that title, to the Clares and Despencers, and from the latter, by female heirs, to the Beauchamps and Nevilles, Earls of Warwick. It continued in the crown from the time of Richard III's marriage with Anne Neville, until Queen Mary granted it to William Lord Paget, in whose family it continued more than a century; after which, it passed, by purchase, to Sir Humphrey Winch, in 1670; to Lord Falkland in 1686; to Sir James Etheridge in 1690; to Sir John Guise in 1718; and to Sir William Clayton in 1736. It is now the property of Sir William Clayton bart. a descendant of the last purchaser". Marlow owed its importance to its location on the River Thames, where the road from Reading to High Wycombe crosses the river. It had its own market by 1227 (hence the name Chipping Marlow), although the market lapsed before 1600. From 1301 to 1307 the town had its own Member of Parliament, and it returned two members from 1624 to 1867.
Sorry for being so silent lately. I have been hiding myself in books and work. Don´t worry - just need the rest while it is dark and outdoor is not attractive to take pictures ...
This was actually the last look I had at a big outflow dominant HP supercell in SW Texas. It continued to be tornado warned for some time after but never looked very good if you wanted a tornado. Still a gorgeous storm though.
A small tree growing on the pylons caught my eye, it was overexposed when developed so I added some dried plants to the photograph. The Pinsta pinhole camera uses direct positive paper that’s developed in camera. Eco Pro developer and fixer used at full strength.
...yes, I continue with my life.
and the universe have mercy on injustice. Not me, not my life!..(Giselle, oh yes!)
."make me fly to the moon
and let me play among the stars
let me see what spring is like
on Jupiter and Mars
in other words hold my hand
in other words darling kiss me...
fill my life with song
and let me sing forevermore
you are all I hope for
all I worship and adore
in other words please be true
in other words I love you"....(Eva Cassidy)....but

Natural Woman (Eva Cassidy)
Hinduism is perhaps the oldest continuing religion in the world, with sacred texts estimated to date back to 3000 B.C. A Hindu wedding, one of the most sacred of rites, incorporates many of these timeless rituals and customs. The Hindu ceremony centers not just on the bride, but celebrates the coming together of two families. To illustrate this theme, many customs involve both families.
The Wedding Ceremony
The bride and groom are next seated in front of a holy fire, or agni, as a priest recites various mantras from the Holy Scriptures. In Hinduism, fire is regarded as a purifier and a sustainer of life. In a ritual called mangalfera, the bride and groom walk around the fire four times (each a symbol of the four ashrams of life), praying and exchanging vows of duty, love, fidelity, and respect. The priest directs family members to make offerings into the fire. At the end of the ceremony, in a ritual called saptapadi, the bride and groom take seven vows, sealing the marriage forever. These vows are traditionally spoken in Sanskrit, and are one of the most ancient aspects of the Hindu ceremony. The vows validate the marriage; no ceremony is complete without them.

This photograph continues my social history project documenting both the mundane and the interesting in the City of Fremantle and surrounding areas through the medium of Waymarking [1].
This Seven-11 store, one of two within the CBD of Fremantle reflects the influence of American culture on Australia. The first Seven-11 store in Australia was opened in 1977 and more recently the chain has had negative media attention over its under payment of staff wages.Today, Fremantle has two Seven-11 stores, this one and one of the opposite corner of the block. This store replaces this site's previous occupant, a Gloria Jeans Coffee Shop.

Continuing this week of just fun images this is what happens when your electricified ear shorts out and there is an arc flash explosion. If you believe that I have a theme park I can sell you. It is really just Disney plusing a stage light and I just happen to catch it as the light passed through the stage fog.
Continuing with posting photos from my archives. Not sure when I will get out for a drive, given that our winter weather continues. November 23 2024: lots of snow and it looked like almost 10-12 inches of snow on top of my back fence. Can't complain, though, as mild, fall weather lasted well into November, which was wonderful. So thankful that I managed to get out for groceries a few days ago, so now I can hibernate for a little while.
Yesterday, 28 November 2024, I got up early, thinking of driving south to the Saskatoon Farm. However, change of plans, as our weather yesterday morning was -17°C (feels like -23°C), with freezing fog. More freezing fog today (29 November 2024), too. Another good day to stay home! Next week is forecast to be 'warmer'.
I will be adding the description that I wrote under a different, previously posted image taken on the same day.
"This photo was taken on 8 September 2015. In the morning, I joined a group of friends for a three-hour stroll at Inglewood Bird Sanctuary. 38 bird species were seen, though I didn't manage to see any of the tiny, fast-moving Warblers. It was good to see 28 Wood Ducks, but they were far, far away, in an area that is still closed due to devastating flood damage. The Sanctuary had been closed for about two years for this reason and only very recently re-opened just a part of the area.
The Calgary Zoo is very close to the Sanctuary, so after our morning walk, I decided to call in at the Zoo. I hadn't been for about a year and I really missed going there. Of course, many of the garden flowers were past their prime, but I did find a few that were fit to photograph. I love photographing the Water Lilies. They always seem to glow, as if they had a light inside.
I knew I wouldn't be able to walk far, having already been walking all morning, but I really wanted to get to the ENMAX Conservatory to see what was going on. I had been longing all summer to see the tropical butterflies and plants. The butterfly season is coming to an end for these tropical beauties, but there were still plenty of them to be seen. Also, this month, the parking lot that I use will close for the winter and I don't like the drive back home from the north parking area, using Deerfoot Trail, so tend not to go to the Zoo all winter.
There was so much activity going on at the Zoo two days ago. People everywhere, carrying large animals wrapped in white, protective coverings, preparing for the upcoming ILLUMINASIA, Lantern & Garden Festival. Each animal is an individual lantern and there are so many of them. I noticed that several of the real animals in their enclosures were watching all the unaccustomed activity, which made me smile.
A good day, despite the overcast sky, and plenty of photo opportunities. Recently, I have been finding far fewer things to photograph, with fall on its way, so a day like this was more than welcome."
Sunspot activity continues to be strong in 2021. The pictures are showing two sunspot active regions (AR2824 and AR2826). The picture on the left is looking at the Sun's chromosphere using a telescope that has a Hydrogen alpha (Hα) filter. This particular filter also enables the observing of prominences which you can see examples of coming of the edged of the solar disc. The picture on the right is looking at the Sun's photosphere using a telescope that has a "white-light" solar filter attached.

Continued from yesterday!
I am super excited to introduce my newest Cavey, Pink Panda Cavey! She was a surprise from Holly and just arrived today (along with another special Cavey present for my mom, which I'll be showing tomorrow). Pink Panda Cavey will be an exclusive Cavey only for sale at BlytheCon UK on October 2nd. I didn't think I'd be able to get one myself because I don't live in the UK (boo!), but Holly knows me well-- both my obsession with pink and everything cute. ^u^ I love my Pink Panda Cavey so much! She'll be traveling with me a LOT from now on. <3
Students strike continues in Hong Kong for the fourth day!
China has violated the Joint Sino-British Declaration and the Basic law (the constitution of Hong Kong) attempting to fully control Hong Kong and us. Students from universities and high schools are coming together to fight for full democracy and autonomy for our city state!

Continuing with yesterdays theme, here's another US spec Integra, this one being an older and less original example. The owner was manoeuvring into a parking space so I could get pics of the front and rear with the sea in the background
My new addition to the projector lens collection with DIY 3D mounts is a ISCO Projar 2.8/85. Quite useful I would say!
The Nissan Prairie could be said to be pretty much the first purpose build MPV, first going on sale in Europe in 1981. Originally branded Datsun, the Nissan name was applied after 1985. The original design of vehicle was also groundbreaking in that it did not have a B pillar between the front and rear doors, both doors locking into the roof. Whilst an innovative idea, motoring reviewers of the day suggested that this design caused a worrying flex of the body when cornering at speed, and so it was redesigned for the 1986 model revision. These vehicles were a favourite on the late 80's school runs of my youth, taking over from the likes of the Talbot Rancho and Volvo 240 as middle class child movers - they were contemporaries of the Volvo 740 estate and early Renault Espace models outside the Home Counties school gate. The vehicle shown here appears to be a late Series 1 model, first registered in September 1985 and featuring the aforementioned lack of B pillar, allowing full access to both sides which has led to it's continued use as a load lugger for a neighbourhood cycle store. According to the DVLA MOT check this vehicle has spent some time off the road after a pretty disasterous MOT fail in 2010 the rectification of which no doubt involved considerable amounts of underbody welding. Noted also several times is 'passenger seats removed' indicating it's continued use as a load lugger.
Continuing my personal project to capture images of the various London Theatre Stage Doors. The Theatre Royal is currently home to the smash hit musical 42nd Street.
Continuing with my photoshoot with Ebere on Friday...

Continuing my Titanfall 2 builds, I can present to you the ridiculously hard-hitting Titan Legion.
Legion is the first Titan I build, which is based on the heavy Ogre chassis from the first game. This allowed me to use some sturdier joints and hinges, which comes in handy to hold the big gatling gun.
I also did some minor changes to Ion, updated his pictures and added one of his back.
Since this is my last build for this year, I just want to use this opportunity to say: THANK YOU! :)
2016 marks my first really active year on flickr and I was absolutely blown away by the amazing feedback!
I want to thank all the people who visited my Photostream, who commented, who added my pictures to their favourites and especially my followers and the people who take their time to read all of the nonsense I write :D
I truly appreciate being part of such a great and active community!
I wish you all happy holidays and a wonderful start into the new year!
UPDATE: I added pictures of him without the baseplate.
Continuing my Astro Projection vision...
On a dramatically beautiful sunset last week, I had my out-of-body and lens experience on cityscapes of Toronto... It's always exciting to capture the flow of light particles in whimcical sunset dimensions.
...all brought to you by my manual zoom and ICM magic :-)
oh, thinking about all younger years
there was only you and me
we were young and wild and free
now nothing can take you away from me
we've been down that road before
but that's over now
you keep me coming back for more*
Baby you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it's hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't to hard to see
we're in heaven
Oh, once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feeling down
nothing could chang what you mean to me
there's lost that i could say but just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way
I've been waiting for so long
For something to arrive
For love to come along
Now our dreams are coming true
Through the good times and the bad
I'll be standing there by you...
