Wasn't expecting to see this vehicle in Dover today, and this vehicle had just dropped off a large student group for "Student Group Day" which is every Wednesday afternoon and can sometimes bring up to 15! vehicles from all Local Operators, and I saw at least 10 vehicles here today.
And be sure to check by my other acount: www.flickr.com/photos_user.gne?path=&nsid=77145939%40..., to see what else I saw Very Recently!!
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!!
Wasn't expecting to see this in Dover tonight!, and this vehicle was on SouthEastern Trains Emergency Rail Replacement Service to Ramsgate, and had also driven past my house in Dover about 12:15AM, and so yeah I went out for a shot again, and this was the best I could do in the light rain and winds, but still not that bad considering the conditions I had to work with, plus the fact that vehicles interior lighting didn't help in my opinion, and besides I've done worse night shots right?
But yes your probably still thinking I'm crazy for going out at night like this, especially when John Lee Hooker sang that "Night Time is the Right Time to be with the Woman You Love!", however I still don't have any of that...

‘to shine within’
I was on vacation when I took this photo. I didn’t expect to take it; I just wanted to go and relax, put down the camera for a bit, read and eat and be at my favorite place: the ocean. But then I just couldn’t. That island inspired me more than I had expected, and I ended up doing three full themes there, with everything that it took. My family helped me, I had fun and I felt like creating again.
M insists on me creating outside the house, a lot. I know that I’m a creature of comfort, so my themes always tend to be more intimate, taken in our apartment, the light the same, the setting similar. But this did show me how right she is, how being outside brought me brand new ideas, brand new pieces to conceptualize and to find within myself.
As a small note, the ‘crown’ in this photo is a dead leaf from a tree that is common in Porto Santo, the Dragoeiro. It’s a pre-historic tree and it made so much sense for me to use it in this photo.
(the next theme, Land, should come later in the week. This is also my birthday week, so my favorite theme has come up, and I’m working so excitedly on it! See you again soon, I hope!)

A lot has happened since I last posted a photo almost two months ago. I ended up moving, my business took off in ways I never expected and just last week I took a last minute trip to Orlando to meet a new client. That meant that I had a few days at the parks and got to hang out with some flickr friends who also happened to be visiting.
I had a great time with Alan Rappaport, his friend John, Brendan Bowen, Mike Besant and Allen Castillo. We also quickly bumped into Joseph Vernuccio. I had not planned on spending a ton of time in the parks so I didn't make many plans or contact the locals. Alan and I made plans to meetup a few days before the trip but all the others I happened to meet while in the parks shooting.
It was a quick trip and I did not plan on doing a ton of photography. In the end though I took a ton more photos than I had planned on and after doing a quick review, I am very excited to start posting them. I think they are some of my favorite photos to date. I also lost 711 photos from what I thought was an incredible day of shooting in Epcot and night at Magic Kingdom - thanks to a stupid human error on my part!! I also photographed fireworks from all new locations including The Odyssey walkway in Epcot, Storybook Circus, Mad Tea Party and the Liberty Square Bridge in the Magic Kingdom.
Another fun moment was getting to meet some of the Streetmosphere actors who have seen the photos I have taken of them. It was great and definitely a highlight of the week. Funny thing is that I had planned on meeting one in particular based on emails over the last month but never got a chance to - there is always next time though! :)
Now I just need to catch up on my work so I can start processing these shots and getting them posted. I am looking forward to it though and think there is plenty to keep me busy until I make it down again in the fall.
Have a great day!
Havaro was always a conniving little Brakas, but no one expected for him to get where he is. When he was brought to Karzahni, he was a shattered wreck, barely clinging to life after his trade van slid off a cliff. Now, only a few years later, he's at the top of the food chain, second only to Karzahni himself. He enforces Karzahni's orders with an iron fist, or rather with the iron cannon that replaced his twisted arm.
This MOC was built to try out my new 3D printed Kanohi Angaru, Mask of Splitting, my entry to the Deviantart Bionicle Art Squad This was just a test print at my school to make sure everything lines up correctly before submitting it to Shapeways. It turned out really rough and off-white, so I thought it was a good chance to use some Thok white and build a Karzahni Matoran. The build itself is based on Iben's Matoran designs, which I love and have been wanting to try myself.

[A few minutes after finishing the table the doorbell rings. As expected it's Pocahontas's father and Leila. Pocahontas can't help but feel a little annoyed at this mysterious woman. Vincent senses it and breaks the ice.]
V: Hey there, Chief! I haven't seen you in awhile! Welcome to our home.
C: Thank you. It's a lovely home, but not as lovely as my daughter.
P: Hi, Daddy. I've missed you.
C: I've missed you too. I want you to meet my fiance Leila.
[Leila walks from behind Chief and smiles at Pocahontas. She opens up her arms for a hug, but Pocahontas instead shakes her hand and backs away.]
P: Nice to meet you. I'm sure you're both starving. The restroom is to the left if you want to clean yourselves up.
[Pocahontas quickly walks into the kitchen to grab the food. She's serving steak and salad with a few different sides. When she finished putting the last dish on the table Vincent and the others entered the dining room.]
P: I hope you both like steak.
C: Oh...um...
P: What's wrong, dad?
C: Leila is a vegetarian...I'm sorry I should have called ahead and told you.
L: No, no, don't make a fuss over me! That salad looks wonderful I'll just eat that and the sides.
[Everyone sits down at the table and grace is said before anyone eats. The two couples chat and make conversation. Pocahontas is still feeling some kind of way and barley contributes to the table talk leaving Vincent to do the bulk of it. Soon the chatting dies down into an awkward silence until Leila speaks up.]
L: Pocahontas you seem a little quiet. Do you have any questions you want to ask me? Or how I met your father?
P: I didn't really think it mattered since today is the first time I found out about you.
L: Oh, well your father and I met in a grocery store. And wel--
P: When are you getting married?
L: Huh... oh...well...um
C: This weekend.
P: [she stands up fully enraged] WHAT!?
C: Calm down, please. Let me explain.
P: You're telling me you haven't see me in over five years, and the first time I see you not only do you have a finance, but your marrying her this weekend!? Why bother coming?
C: We were passing through the state and...
P: "Passing through"! I don't even get a personal visit? Just a passing through!?
L: We have a wedding and honeymoon paid for in Vegas.
P: Well isn't that fantastic!
V: 'Tas, try and relax...
P: I most certainly will not! My father didn't come to see us, the kids, the new house, not even to show us Leila, but just passing by on his way to get married! How would you feel if your mother treated you with that much lack of respect?
V:....
L: Honey, please just---
P: Don't "honey" me! Don't "sweetie", "darling", "dear", or anything me! I--
[She hears the twins crying. Her yelling must have woken them up.]
P: I want you both gone by the time I come back downstairs.
C: Pocahontas!
P: Thanks for the visit, dad.
[Pocahontas goes upstairs to tend to the babies. Vincent is struck with silence and feels as if he has been glued to his chair. Chief and Leila both look hurt. They quietly get up and leave. Vincent hears the door shut softly and deeply exhales. He slowly gets out of his chair and begins to clear the table.]

Wasn't expecting to see this in Dover today, and this vehicle is one of 4 that were transferred in from Stagecoach in East London in 2023, to supplement or replace older Driver Training vehicles.

"A frigid winter is expected across Alberta, especially during January and February. While a few periods of milder weather are expected, we have a heightened risk for extended periods of severe cold, as well as for blizzard conditions as Arctic air plunges south across the region. A snowy winter is expected across the southern half of the province, including Calgary. Near normal snowfall is expected elsewhere, including Edmonton." I have just read the Weather Network's forecast for Alberta. Almost wish I hadn't, ha.
Another five photos from my archives this evening. I am adding the description that I wrote under a different image taken on the same outing.
After endless emails and phone calls, the work on my car is finally about to start, four and a half weeks after I dropped it off at the dealership. It has now been decided that both the slight hail damage and the peeling paint repair will be done at one location, not two different ones. The hail damage repair should be starting straight away. It could still be maybe two or two and a half weeks (or more) before all the work is completed. Will it be done before Christmas? Later: hail damage repair has been completed. Now I have to wait for an empty booth so that the peeling paint damage can be fixed and basically the whole car will have to be repainted.
Update on car situation, 9 December 2021. Just heard that the repainting of my whole car might be finished somewhere around 21 December. However, the whole car then has to be put back together - and, guess what, the person who would be doing this is going to be away over Christmas, meaning that I won't be getting it back till AFTER Christmas!!! Wish I had never pointed out the 3"x 1" patch of peeling paint in the first place, when I took my car for a routine service. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined all that is going on. Sigh.
"On 12 August 2016, friend Dorothy phoned and asked if I'd like to go with them to Kananaskis for the day. A last minute decision - and of course I said yes! What a great day we had in the mountains, with perfect weather and so many mushrooms to keep all three of us happy. The highlight for me was when we saw Strawberries and Cream fungi / Hynellum peckii, my favourite fungus. Quite a few of them, too, which was a real treat, as we don't usually come across them.
When I think how many endless rainy days we had been having the previous few weeks, we were so lucky that the sun shone, the temperature was pleasant, and a slight breeze kept comfort levels just right.
Our first brief stop was at a pond on the way to Bragg Creek, where a mutual friend had been seeing a Common Loon, but there was no sign of it when we were there. From there, once we eventually reached the mountains, we stopped at a large pond to check for birds and kept our eyes open for any mushrooms. The ground seemed too dry here, for any fungi to be growing. However, we were treated to wonderful views of a beautiful Osprey perched on top of a tall coniferous tree further down the path. It flew to a few different trees and then finally made the plunge for a fish, with success. What a splash it made! Once caught, the Osprey flew out of sight - maybe it had a nest somewhere with young ones to feed.
Our next stop was further into the mountains and we found that the ground was damper and more conducive to the growth of mushrooms. I suspect that after all the rain we had last summer, one could find mushrooms growing almost anywhere. We were certainly lucky at this location, finding various species. One of the highlights of the day for me was seeing one of my favourite fungi, Strawberries and Cream fungus / Hydnellum peckii. The individuals we saw were not hugely photogenic, but wonderful to see, both at this location and our next stop, at Kananaskis Lakes. This species has "teeth", not gills underneath.
"Hydnellum peckii is an inedible (though not toxic) fungus, and a member of the genus Hydnellum of the family Bankeraceae. It is a hydnoid species, producing spores on the surface of vertical spines or tooth-like projections that hang from the undersurface of the fruit bodies. It is found in North America, Europe, and was recently discovered in Iran (2008) and Korea (2010). Hydnellum peckii is a mycorrhizal species, and forms mutually beneficial relationships with a variety of coniferous trees, growing on the ground singly, scattered, or in fused masses.
The fruit bodies typically have a funnel-shaped cap with a white edge, although the shape can be highly variable. Young, moist fruit bodies can "bleed" a bright red fluid that contains a pigment known to have anticoagulant properties similar to heparin. The unusual appearance of the young fruit bodies has earned the species several descriptive common names, including strawberries and cream, the bleeding Hydnellum, the bleeding tooth fungus, the red-juice tooth, and the Devil's tooth. Although Hydnellum peckii fruit bodies are readily identifiable when young, they become brown and nondescript when they age." From Wikipedia.

Lunch was eaten at a convenient picnic table right by a large creek after this first mushroom walk. While we were sitting there, a cute little Chipmunk (Least Chipmunk?) stopped long enough to take a quick peek at us through the tall grass blades. I suspect it thought it was well hidden.
After our lunch, we drove to Kananaskis Lakes and went for a most enjoyable hike - a very slow one, as there were mushrooms everywhere! We had been along this trail in previous years and had found a good variety of fungi. There were so many people on the trail! Good to see everyone out enjoying the good weather, fresh mountain air, and beautiful scenery. My friends returned to the same areas two days later and found about two-thirds less the number of mushrooms..
Thanks so much, Dorothy and Stephen, not just for this great day out, but for also helping to make my wait for my new car to arrive, easier! Greatly appreciated."
