A sailboat pattern I drew for a postcard. Giving it a little extra life by adding it to my altered dictionary.
"n. the feeling that no matter what you do is always somehow wrong—that any attempt to make your way comfortably through the world will only end up crossing some invisible taboo—as if there’s some obvious way forward that everybody else can see but you, each of them leaning back in their chair and calling out helpfully, colder, colder, colder."

Archive digging again, it's so fun to look through your old stuff to see something you might have missed...
I already used "chunky" on a recent post of a massive bighorn ram, so I went back to the dictionary and found the definition for hefty, "large, heavy and powerful". That seems suitable for this huge ram found in Badlands National Park, South Dakota.
Interestingly, this shot was taken at the end of May, not the time of year that these guys are at their peak physically. I'd would have liked to get back there about now to see if this guy could possibly be any bigger.
Not just any dictionary - my Samuel Johnson 2nd edition 1750 dictionary. Taken for Macro Mondays theme begins with the letter D. (72_133)
A corner of the dictionary that has been on my desk for at least 40 years.

I found this little pocket dictionary in a second-hand bookshop many years ago and picked it up for mere dollars. While I haven't been able to date it exactly some of it's content indicates that it was produced during the Victorian era.
As defined by the Urban Dictionary:
Killer heels are a type of shoe that one could kill with, physically, mentally and emotionally. they are described as heels that usually have at least a 4 inch (10.16 cm) stiletto, very thin heel only recommended for experienced professionals and are 'high fashion' and expensive The shoe must be ridiculously sexy, stunning and an instant eye-catcher.
These must've been 6 inches (15.24 cm) and I don't know about killing with but I'd definitely be killed if I wore these by falling over and breaking my neck probably :)
This is a very experimental shot!
I removed the lens from my old broken Prinz Saturn 35mm film camera and managed to mount it on my Panasonic GM1 digital body - not very well and held on with rubber bands!
There is no aperture adjustment so this is the result of the lens 'wide open' - probably much more so than for what the lens was designed.
It's an 'in house' shot - the eating end of the kitchen.
Converted to B&W and sepia toned. It does look an old photo from the 1930s now!
