Este aqui todo mundo já conhece, mas gosto muito... é um verde intenso e duradouro, com uma textura diferente, que me encanta.
Passei duas camadinhas e durou 8 dias intacto!!!

The evolution of my gear. I started to seriously explore my interest in photography with the AE-1, to the left. Almost fully manual, it did have a shutter priority Auto mode. I learned exposure and composition the hard way, the lens being a prime and used on manual aperture. The lens shown with it here is the 50 mm prime f/1.8 kit lens. Later I moved on to the T70, center. Fully automatic and with more advanced metering, it was still a film camera but without the manual film advance, which I kind of liked. Shown here with a Vivitar 28-85 mm f/2.8 zoom lens.
Now, I've taken another step, the Digital Rebel XTi/400D. I think by now everyone knows about this camera, so no need to state the obvious. If you really want to know, the camera finder feature here on Flickr has lots of info on this camera.
Yes, they're all Canons. No, I will not get into the brand debate. I believe in customer/brand loyalty, and Canon has never failed me. I have used Nikons before with great results and with great pleasure, but when shelling out the bucks, I will always lean towards Canon. Until they disappoint me, which I don't see happening given their track record.
Taken with my now-retired, semi-defunct, all-around-crappy Sony Cybershot DSC-P41. I apologize for the crappy backdrop; I was not about to set up stands and muslin (or studio lighting) just for this, though given the amount of respect and love I have for this gear, I think in retrospect that I should have taken the time.

Evolution? ~ Dicksonia antarctica, Australian tree fern, called a "living fossil": not having changed much for the last 400 Million years, in Eurasia and America suppressed by sees plants
Putting this in due to my love of double-exposure images and wanting to try my hand at one of them again. Also I felt like this project needed another pretty/ not quite so heavily conceptual image, although there is meaning behind this one.
For me, I kind of feel like this is a representation of what college is supposed to do to you...you're supposed to expand your mind/ grow as a human being/ broaden your horizons or whatever. Sometimes I feel like all I've grown up there are weeds, but like, pretty weeds, you know? The kind with flowers that look really nice but are completely useless/ invasive/ not what you really intended to grow but there they are so might as well let them stay.
Cactuses were not the way they were. This is a short tale about evolution.
Under the glaring sun, mr cactus bears the intensity of a large matter known as sun. His fierce determination to survive compelled him to think fervently how to preserve his own water content despite sweating. He puts on his thinking cap.
"where do i start sweating?"
He glances across his home, the desert horizons. Then he saw a mirage. He thought he was near the brink of death. He rubbed his eyes, but his suspicions were proved wrong. There was indeed a small body of water shimmering under the relentless sun. Out of nowhere, there were two sticks that formed two pathways for the water to flow.
One stick had a large hole and practically hollow, the other had a hole so small just enough for a teeny weeny needle to pass through.The water touched both sticks, immediately, it flowed into two sections, carving 2 separate pathways through the stick holes. In the end, water was waiting for its remaining "soul" to return from the stick with a smaller hole.
Mr Cactus was stuck with an idea. Immediately, he knew that the stomata on big broad leaves was the factor which was sapping all his water off.
He concentrated with all his might. "Push, smaller, tinier, focus."
Tada, his leaves became spines, this way he transpired slower. He did it with a little help of nature. :)
The news is... I am also in "the evolution of get lucky" on youtube (1930-1940 style) Have a look : www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4z66VzcvO0

Evolution has not accounted for other complex differences involved. Embryos in fish and amphibian eggs release their wastes in the surrounding water as soluble urea. But urea within the shelled eggs of reptiles would kill the embryos. So, in the shelled egg a major chemical change is made: The wastes, insoluble uric acid, are stored within the allantois membrane. Consider this also: The egg yolk is food for the growing reptile embryo, enabling it to develop fully before emerging from the shell—unlike amphibians, which do not hatch in the adult form. And to get out of the shell, the embryo is distinctive in having an egg tooth, to help it break out of its prison.
The Master Hosier's house, which is now the home of the Wigston Framework Knitters Museum. THis wall shows clearly how the house evolved over the centuries. The museum seems to have at least two websites. To quote from one of them:
"The Master Framework Knitters House & Workshop at 42-44 Bushloe End, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18 2BA is of the late 17th century, thought to have been built in 1695, probably as a farmhouse. It came into framework knitting in 1764 and continued as such until it closed finally in 1948/9.
It is the only working frameshop left with, its frames in situ, in the County and that has National recognition. 42-44 Bushloe End is a Grade II* listed building, originally purchased by the Borough of Oadby & Wigston in 1986 to ensure its preservation. In 2006, The Borough Council agreed to 'Gift' the premises to the Oadby & Wigston Buildings Preservation Trust, who have had responsibility for the up-keep of the museum and buildings since 1986. The gifting was a part of an agreement with The Heritage Lottery Fund to enable grant aid to be provided both for repairs and the building of an interpretation centre. (The Yarn Room).
An external inspection of the buildings show quite clearly the stages of development. The random stone plinth, visible to the front and east side of the house, may indicate that an earlier building stood upon the site. Interestingly to be noted is the brick decoration to the house front, both in flashed headers and diaper work. This is consistent with the period and other examples can be seen in villages around. The 1695 structure was of two floors, the second floor being of later date, probably around 1780 and prior to 1784 when the 'Brick Tax' was introduced and the narrow 'Tudor' brick gave way to bricks of 3 inch thickness. The East and West side elevations of the house show quite clearly the building up for the second floor.
The house interior is left in its late 19th century mode except in the kitchen where some acknowledgement to the early 20th century has been made.
Not only is this site important in terms of industrial archaeology, it also brings to life a part of the sociological scene throughout the 19th century and following the hardships created by the 'Enclosures Act' of 1766. Hand-Frame knitting dates from 1589, the date of invention by William Lee of the stocking frame. However, the frame was first introduced to Leicesteshire c1640.
The two storey frame-shop, across the yard from the house, contains eight knitting-frames and a demonstration frame. Built in 1890, this brick building with its typical long windows affording natural light to both sides of the workshop at ground and first floor level is the real gem of the museum."
