Uh, Oh... First frost expected this evening. Around here that usually indicates areas mostly in northern Minnesota to have frost on the ground by morning. The leaves will start changing faster as a result. For some it means to get ready for fall hunting, and the woods to be relatively bug and mosquito free. Bye, Asian Tiger Mosquitoes, you had your fill for the season.
Was waiting to upload this photos from another season. Kinda cool really. Cold over night, the pond level receding, and the ice still hanging to the small tree. I just happened to be walking through Jay Cooke Park and spotted it, and took a photo.
Too many of my friends are getting pregnant. And it's near impossible to not pat their bellies (that's not my hand in the photo, though. That's the daddy's hand.)

From the Nike site suggested by Jeff Poskanzer. I was waiting for hours for it to get dark. I expected this one to be my masterpiece. When I got home, I realized that it's not that easy to light up a big, round platform like that. Maybe I should have used two different colors from different angles.
My good friend which is expecting her first baby.. it was also my last session while im in Bali.. hopefully I can visit her when she just deliver her baby
For 2 week's I've been waiting for this camera. We had a new UPS driver who said he couldn't find our address and returned it back to the camera company. I called them, and they said I needed to place another order on my credit card. HELLO...I don't have that kind of money. I told them, you have my camera and my money, I want one or the other. I ended up having to call Amazon because that's where the order started from and they took care of it. So if you don't see me for awhile, I am either reading up on my camera, playing with my camera, or just hugging it lol. The zoom lens on the left is my daughter's she let me borrow it!
Lauren & Joe expecting their 2nd child a baby boy. Congrats

The Postcard
A postally unused postcard that was published by C. Richter (Publishers) ltd. of London NW6. The artwork was by Trow, and the card has a divided back.
Trow
"Trow" has been claimed as the pseudonym of Frank Eric Smith, who was born in Salisbury on the 2nd. March 1908, and who lived most of his life in Dorset and Wiltshire. He died on the 5th. October 1985.
According to Smith's family, he drew many seaside postcards in the late 40's and early 50's, and derived his pseudonym from 'Trowbridge', the county town of Wiltshire.
However, Smith claimed to have stopped drawing in 1952, whilst new cards signed "Trow" continued to appear in large numbers until the late 1960's.
It seems that the cards prosecuted by the DPP for indecency in the 1950's were in fact drawn by Thomas Trow (1909-1971) of Stoke on Trent, whose address appears on the reverse of surviving artwork, as the Greyfriars Art Studio.
It's hard not to imagine them feeling something like joy when they do this, pretty joyous to watch anyway. This youngster is still hanging around where it was born, strangely it's father ( presumably ) hasn't been agressive towards it as far as I've seen, very un-swan-like behaviour especially considering they must have imminent new arrivals. I'm pretty sure it can't fly, does it's right hand wing look damaged ? I know they're perfectly capable of surviving without being able to fly, I just worry how long dad's patience is gonna last, especially once the cygnets hatch. In previous years he's not been known for his patience............

Called the Avenue of the People, several streets in Port Angeles, Washington sport sculptures inspired by residents captured in welded steel by artist Bob Stokes. The torsos are spread up and down the sidewalks reflecting the daily activities of local residents who served as models for the sculptures. In the background a doorway shadow obscures another of these abstract statues.

As one might expect there was always an interesting bus or coach to be seen in London. This Duple bodied AEC Reliance with Feline Coaches might have been a frequent visitor to London Victoria as it was formerly a Green Line coach.
Another simple one light shot to remember these days.

It's a baby girl!
Congratulations to Agnes and Omar on the birth of their new bundle of joy "Camila" born March 6th, 2011. Camila was born at 6:10pm weighing 6lbs 3oz and 19 1/4 inches long.
Well, I expect this will probably mark the final variation on this same theme.
Standard version (NON quad), with color "burned in".
At the moment, I'm currently using this as my desktop wallpaper. If you feel you'd like to do the same, free to download and use for your own desktop wallpaper, or for whatever other reason you'd like as well.
I had my knee follow-up appointment with Dr. F today, to get the results of my MRI. He said he didn't see what he was expecting, which in a way is good, but is also bad because it doesn't get us any closer to figuring out what is going on.
He did say that the MRI shows some continued damage (both known from the surgery and possibly a little bit of new stuff) on the lateral half of my kneecap. The cartilage continues to wear and catch as it goes through the motions. Because of this, we've ruled out a cortisone injection, though we haven't yet ruled out the other series of injections that he talked about last week. For now, he wants me to try this lovely brace that you see in the photo. The straps that go horizontal are actually pulling my kneecap out of its "home" and into a new location, trying to alleviate the catching/wearing of the cartilage. There's a U-shaped area that the patella is supposed to be stabilized in. I have to say....this hurts like HELL. I can feel the swelling (thump thump thump), and my kneecap is pissed off right now. I get to wear this thing for two months, until I go back and see him again just prior to Thanksgiving. He said to wear it all the time, and if I had any significant pain (after the period of adjustment that I'm sure to have) or something happened, to call, and he'd see me immediately. So, I'm still his "special project".
Someone at work today gave me a good analogy for what the brace is doing, and why it hurts so much right now. They compared it to having braces on your teeth, and the pain you have when the orthodontist makes his monthly adjustment. The teeth have to get used to their new position, and the first several days can be quite unpleasant.
Unpleasant? Check!
As for other options? He said that he didn't want to talk about what he "really does for a living" (ie, surgery) quite yet. We'll talk again in November once we see what this brace does.
A mother's joy begins when new life is stirring inside... when a tiny heartbeat is heard for the very first time, and a playful kick reminds her that she is never alone.

Elvis stands proudly over the entrance of the Happy Day Diner on Pulaski Highway in Rosedale Maryland. Don't expect to get a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich though. It is not on the menu.
As expected, they are slick...
I left the house at 1140 with +13C temperatures and expected some rain for later in the afternoon. I felt the first few drops turning the corner at the end of the block as I was finishing my ride. It may not be the last ride, but it will be the last warm one...
Don't expect to see the most beautiful and pristine formations in the world at Longhorn Caverns, because they're not here. However, there are still several points of natural awe and beauty in the cave. And what Longhorn Caverns lacks in formations it makes up for in historical interest. There are legends and rumors - of fossils, Confederates, outlaws, Indians, a kidnapping, and even an old underground dance hall. The entrance to the cavern is particularly dramatic, underneath an impressive natural bridge. I consider this Texas Hill Country cavern a "Must See" for those who are in the area.
The regular guided tour through the cave is a 1.25 mile round trip and takes 1.5 hours to complete. There is a little climbing involved, but the average person should have no problem making it.
In addition to the cavern, the state park offers shaded picnic tables, nature trails, an exhibit center, gift shop, and snack bar. There is no campground.
A $10 fee is charged per adult for the cavern tour. Other ammenities in the park, picnic areas, trails, exhibit center, etc., are free. The park is open 363 days a year.
I had been told to expect alopecia (hair loss) as a result of chemo. Here's a good explanation of what happens.
Once I developed bald spots from hair loss accomplished just by my rubbing my scalp (see "Alopecia 3"), I turned to scissors to remove what I could of the rest. This is what I cut off.
