Happy Halloween Flickr humans!
I don't really know what to say about this photo but it didn't come out as I had expected, I thought it might be cute but people I've asked tell me it looks fucking disturbing and they are at a complelte loss of words. It's something they wouldn't want to look at for too long and apparently they would want to smash the Jolene Egg =(
I think I look terrible as an egg, oh well.
Halloween isn't about looking pretty, it's about looking weird and freaky.
I didn't take proper shots of my Halloween outfit this year =( I COMPLETELY FORGOT HOW COULD I SERIOUSLY? But we did take some with my friend's digital camera.
(extra note:)
It probably looks conceptless but there is a concept! it's not freaky, it's silly, when the egg's drop into the cauldron filled with green goo, they will transform into evil eggs like the Jolene Egg's minions!!! (note, the devil and skull at the side). Of course it won't hurt but these poor innocent eggs are very afraid of the unknown result!

Situated in the Studley Royal Deer Park, next to St Mary's Church, this Burges designed house stands on its own with wonderful views across the estate. Built in 1873 the original use was to house a music school along with the organist and music master. It was the Estate office until 2001 and now it is a holiday home sleeping up to ten people. The interior reflects the Burges style with all existing original features maintained.

Wasn't expecting to see this in Assford today, and this vehicle was on SouthEastern Trains Rail Replacement Service to and from Headcorn and Tonbridge.

I'm not expecting this picture to generate much interest at all here on Flickr. The reason I'm posting it is I am at heart a man who who wanted to be an actress. I wanted to play female roles. What this means is I enjoy experimenting with make-up, wigs and female outfits.
The reality is I am rubbish at acting but as I get older I fear missing out on my dream of taking on female roles. Some may cringe and squirm at my admission of wanting this and though I think I may well invite ridicule I simply had to try it out, albeit in private.
I have always liked the look of the business woman and female lawyers. Their outfits are stylish and admittedly prim and somewhat severe. I think the mix of primness with make-up, bright red lipstick and smooth shaved legs and high heel court shoes is a mix of femininity and confidence and I do find it rather sexy.
On Sunday, having had my first cross-dressing opportunity in ten months I had a desire to try out the severe lawyer appearance I enjoyed putting on the make-up, finding a suitable wig and skirt suit and felt the final touch to get the look was to adopt a less than impressed aloof haughty expression on my face and fasten up the top button on my shirt.
It is not a pretty feminine look but I felt quite the woman when I stood in front of the mirror and ruined the prim severity by smiling at my reflection. Having finally got into character and wiped the smile of my face, I took a photo. I'm going to admit I really enjoyed this look and felt quite a thrill to be portraying myself this way. If I am honest, I actually felt empowered to be this woman, the whole outfit was great to wear and I loved the shoes. I would love to go to a meeting dressed this way. I have always been attracted to the prim tailored appearance of female lawyers. I think the make-up and the skirt and heels gives their image real panache over their male counterparts.
I think it would be fun to create a theme on Flickr of prim but stylish tailored female looks. I am definitely going to explore this one further. Has anyone else ever faced exploring this type of female appearance?
Taken on the slopes of Midsummer Hill in Malvern. I feared and loved this place as a kid. In spring the woods are beautiful, carpeted with bluebells but in autumn and winter they're dark, mysterious. Didn't help that I heard all sorts of stories about this hill - iron age hill forts, burial mounds (both found on the hill), battles, druids, oh and "big black cats" supposedly spied out here. All stories were told by my father, usually as the light dropped on winter afternoons and told over his shoulder as he and his plucky terrier, Bede strode ahead, leaving me panting in their wake, fully expecting to see a ghost or be eaten by a panther any second.
Clearly, I didn't get eaten by a marauding panther but I still find these woods magical, like the setting for a dark fairytale... enchanting but kind of spooky!! At least I have my knight in shining armour fur now! I'm sure Barney would protect me from whatever lurks in the wood ;-) He certainly showed no fear of the looming trees and kindly cleared the area of all rabbits, squirrels and pheasants for me during our walk yesterday! Kept disappearing into the fog and I'd just hear the odd crash, or distant alarm call from a panicked bird as Barney explored. As it was so foggy and there were so many hunting opportunities, I didn't get a chance to take many photos of Barn but when he climbed a fallen tree, I saw an opportunity and really liked this shot.
Thanks for all the kind words last week about my being (very nearly) a yr cancer free! I had my hospital appointment on Wed and it went well :) I saw one of the consultants who operated on me last yr but hasn't seen me much since and he was really happy with my progress with speaking and recovery etc. He was slightly concerned I'm still so tired but thyroid problems are common after radiotherapy on the neck, so we're going to look into that... Hope everyone has a good weekend. Oh, and for Dilly fans out there, I should be uploading a few soon ;-)
Couldn't really get much Flickr-ing done this weekend due to family visiting and terrible internet connection problems. Finally got rid of both last night with the help of a new router. Well, the router managed the internet connection problem at least. I expect the family will return some time. Ah well.

I was expecting an 88 or at least 68 on this working, but the bog standard shed turned up. Hey-ho. 66423 heads 4S44 12.03 Daventry to Coatbridge at Winwick Quay. 21/3/2026
'Lord Hinton' makes plenty of noise after being held in the station to allow Colchester CS - Ipswich ecs ahead of it. With LHCS locally expected to be history by the end of the year there can't be too many more of these DVT movements.
Really wasn't expecting to see these in Dover today!, and these vehicle were on SouthEastern Trains Emergency Rail Replacement Standby due Signal failures in the Deal Area earleir this morning.

Yes I'm back again.
However due to my main computer on which I edit my work being struck down with a big bad virus, this picture and all the others I am uploading, were Unedited but have now been replaced with Edited versions. So enjoy and Thanks for your patience and understanding.
I do still hate everything about this shit that is new Flickr and always will, but an inability to find another outlet for my work that is as easy for me to use as the Old BETTER Flickr was, has forced me back to Flickr, even though it goes against everything I believe in.
I don't generally have an opinion on my own work, I prefer to leave that to other people and so based on the positive responses to my work from the various friends I had made on Flickr prior to the changes I have decided to upload some more of my work as an experiment and to see what happens.
So make the most of me before they delete my acount: www.flickr.com/photos/69558134@N05/?details=1, to stop me complaining!!
Thanks everyone so much for subscribing to me! I really appreciate it, seeing as I've only been posting for about about 2 months. I appreciate all the support and you can expect more MOCs in the future!
Who expects to see a dinosaur in the Giardini Pubblici in Milan? Not me. This Saltriovenator zanellai seemed harmless enough; it was just outside the natural history museum minding its own business. It was last seen alive 198 million years ago. More here: www.sci-news.com/paleontology/saltriovenator-zanellai-067...
Today the Hereios of the We're Here group are shooting dinosaurs in unexpected places.
Not what I was expecting to see on the way home, but then you never expect to see a cream coloured 6 wheeled 2CV do you?
Having the weight of an extra axle (well, swing arms I guess) and 2 wheels, plus the extra drag it must stress the already low powered air cooled engine of the 2CV. It develops 29 bhp.
These dates show some reveal some interesting history.
Date of First Registration: 06 03 2007
Year of Manufacture: 1988
Cylinder Capacity (cc): 602cc
We are expecting a very unwelcome snowstorm, starting this afternoon. I need to get a few more overseas Christmas cards and letters written, so that I can hopefully get out to post them before any snow needs clearing off my car. Will have to finish off my descriptions later. (later, evening, maybe six or so inches of snow so far.)
Luckily, the snow didn't start until I was back home from running an errand or two. I also called in at the home of a man who has been making simple wooden Christmas trees. He has not been able to work (carpentry) after having surgery in September on his shoulder (rotator cuff issue, which I can relate to). So, he decided to make Christmas trees, using Spruce, to sell, for people to decorate in any way they choose. He even made the newspaper and TV, which was great. A lot of people in his community have been buying these trees and placing them outside in their front garden to bring some Christmas cheer to all the neighbours. A few people have come forward to help him with his creations, which was nice to see. A real entrepreneur, especially in a time of his own need, and in a year unlike any other. I have a lot of respect for you, Derek. You have certainly brought your community together and given so much pleasure! Great inspiration.

The first time I ever saw this beautiful old house/barn was on 18 July 2016, when my daughter and I did a very long drive from Calgary to the Drumheller area. Ever since then, I have wanted to go back and see it again, and yesterday, 20 December 2020, I finally found it once again. Earlier this year, I was just a road or two away from it. I had been sure I knew exactly where it stood, but learned that I really didn't. It has been updated to celebrate graduation time for 2020 - a very different kind of year and celebration for so many young people, thanks to the ongoing pandemic that has so far lasted almost a year. Well done, to all students who have been able to continue their education, whether online or in person, or a mix of both. Well done to all the parents out there, who have somehow managed to keep going, despite the enormous challenges of 2020. I don't know how you did it! Good luck in 2021, as the pandemic continues, but now with a lot more hope.
This is what I wrote about this colourful structure when I posted a photo back in 2016:
"As well as birds and beautiful scenery, we saw several old barns, including this old house/barn. Each year, the farmer allows the graduating class from the local high school to decorate this old building in any way they wish. A fun idea and it certainly adds a splash of colour. I was absolutely fascinated to read a little bit of history from someone who was a contact of mine on Flickr two or three years ago. Her Grandmother was apparently born in this house/barn. It was later converted to a granary and now, of course, has become the canvas for local students."
Yesterday, this barn was my main destination, and that is pretty much all I saw. Funny how days can be so different. I can see so many things one day, yet another outing to a different area on a different day results in maybe only a couple of dozen photos. No sign of any Snowy Owls this day.
Austin, Tx who knew shopping for food would give me a colorful photo, expect the unexpected, did not have my Nex 6 so I shot it with the iphone, I think they might kick me out if I went in there with my photo gear and started to shoot everything
Expecting 83 degrees for a high today. It certainly looks and feels more like spring than the end of fall. There are several monarchs laying eggs today.
Compact. Sleek. Fast. The enemy wouldn't expect it. They can only grunt, "WTF?!?!"
The Wryneck Tactical Fighter a.k.a. W.T.F. is designed primarily to escort and defend battleships but on occasion used to intrude and clean out hostile environments.
Armed with twin pulse ion guns on each side and the Ferro-Inductive Non-Glitchy Electromagnetic Reciprocating Cannon underneath, the W.T.F. has ample firepower to cause considerable damage in a single swoop.
It's thrusters are pulled in closer to the hull to reduce drag as well as to increase speed. Each thruster is powered by a Hornive Milfium Reactor.

Surprise !!! Clowesia warscewiczii. Il y a des plantes que l'on ne s'attend pas á rencontrer car on pense qu'elle vivent dans une autre région et tout d'un coup elles apparaissent in situ durant un tour de 11 jours que j'ai guidé. dans les départements du Valle del Cauca et du Cauca, Colombie. en plus c'est un genre que je n'avais jamais vu fleuri en milieu naturel et qui sent bon la citronnelle !
Surprise !!! Clowesia warscewiczii. There are plants you don't expect to find because you think they live in another region and suddenly they appear in situ during an 11 days tour I guided in Valle del Cauca and Cauca departments, Colombia. Moreover a genus I had never seen blooming in its native habitat and that smells good to lemongrass !

Where it was postmarked is illegible, but it was mailed to an address in Hanover, Indiana. This card is embossed, with the embossing coming through the verso side. Beautiful penmanship even with the embossing.

The weather was half-way decent yesterday afternoon so I'd actually half expected my Naturalist Friend to call around. We made off for the Aekingerzand on the border of the provinces of Drenthe and Friesland more or less to the south of Groningen near the town of Appelscha. This is a drift-sand dune landscape - one of the very few in the Netherlands, and it's been made into a natural reserve to preserve it from encroaching forestation and agriculture. It's a marvelous, even a bit of a desolate area. But there's lots to see if you've an eye for it. Right on the border there's also a pretty fen pond appropriately named 'Grenspoel'. The dunes themselves go by the Dutch for Bald Dunes. Stark Scots Pines - Pinus sylvestris - define the horizons whether - unusually - blue or gray with clouds.
One of three kinds of heather here is this Empetrum nigrum, Black Crowberry. At this time of the year the fruits are particularly beautiful. These berries are edible; they taste a bit like watered-down blue berries, and they quench the thirst of Sand Walkers.
The last decades has seen a re-arrangement of botanical classification through the advances of e.g. DNA research. Formerly the Empetraceae were their own family. A decade ago especially molecular analysis led botanists to make Empetraceae a subgroup of the larger Heathers, the Ericaceae. But our Empetrum nigrum retained it's name, derived from Dioscorides in Ancient Times who'd seen Empetraceae growing on rocky and sandy places. Such is the Aekingerzand.

Don't expect to win any prizes with this one, it's not everyones cup of tea, but this is what it's like in the woods in winter (sometimes) !
Not what I expected to see on the way home but a lucky shot anyway!

Model: Ashleigh K
A few weeks ago I learnt how to create a neon type text in photoshop and was waiting for an opportunity to use it. As soon as I found out that I was shooting Ashleigh I knew what I had in mind.
The Studio had these backgrounds that could be placed upright and it was just covered with old torn wallpaper which I saw from a previous shoot, so I used that. In my head I knew I needed the model to look between 10 and 11 and I knew how I wanted her to pose and that worked out great.
I was not sure what to write on the text and I had three choices, either 'expecting', 'coming soon' or just a '?'. After discussing with the Ashleigh I went with the above.
I took the image in photoshop and added a brick wall texture and used the soft light blending mode to blend the two backgrounds. I then added the text and made adjustments to the drop shadow, outer glow and colour overlay.
One thing that I thought of was that if your under a neon sign you will get some light on you, so I took a brush and used the same colour as the sign and I went around the sign, wall and the front part of Ashleigh. I took it back into lightroom and increased the clarity, contrast and reduced the highlights and blacks and just added a little bit of lens vignetting.
I expected to see red clay throughout the canyon area and here is evidence of that. The erosion however, reveals many layers of soil that display different colors in the canyon walls. Also, the soil of the canyon floor is sandy which is not at all like the normal sticky clay that you encounter in most of Georgia.
