As the light was fading we said goodbye to everyone and Tunny very kindly gave myself and Rob a lift to Crewe Station. Robmcrorie and I then got cold and chatted waiting for the 56 on the Sinfin Tanks. While we waited we got a picture of 92 036 running round its train a 4G25 Crewe LNWR to Bescot Yard. It was nice to get a picture of 92 which wasn't in Kent.
Texas Photo Festival 2010, Smithville, TX
Continuing with the theme of downtown Smithville, here is an image of a faded advertisement from long ago. I was drawn by the layers of painted signs. The light and shadows that forms a star pattern occurred naturally.
Another time it might have been so different
Oh if only we could do it all again
But now, it's just another fading memory
Out of focus, though the outline still remains
So far away, away, fading distant lights
Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world
And you know that these are the days of our lives,
So remember...
Like the story that we wish was never ending
We know sometime we must reach that final page
And still we carry on just pretending
That there'll always be just one more day to go
So far away, away, fading distant lights
Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world
And you know that these are the days of our lives
So remember...
Another chance hello, another goodbye
And so many things we'll never see again
Oh, The days of life that seemed so unimportant
They seem to matter now, but to count much later on
So far away, away, fading distant lights
Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world
And you know that these are the days of our lives
Remember
For this week's Get Pushed!! challenge, I was paired with the incredibly talented jayneboo, who is a gifted nature photographer and doesn't back down from a challenge, either! I hope you'll take a moment to look over her photos - they're quite breathtaking!
In return, Jayneboo issued a choice of two challenges to me. The first was to explore my hometown and create a photo postcard to show it off. Sadly, we were soon hit with a freakish October snowstorm that dumped anywhere from 4 to 18 inches of heavy wet snow on Connecticut. Not only was most everything I'd consider scenic and photogenic now covered with snow, but it was downright treacherous getting out!
Good thing I was offered a backup choice, which went something like this: "Think of your favorite film, TV series or book title and show us what it is - with no hints or tips - leaving it to all members of the group to work it out. I am banning Little House on the Prairie - too easy for you I think!"
So, with a challenge worded that way, I'm really not at liberty to provide much in the way of commentary on this week's photo. Enjoy!
**Edit / Update**
It took a little while, but my challenger herself (Jayneboo) as well as Hickamore Hackamore actually guessed correctly what we were working at with this photo. The sense of loss in this photo plays out many times in The Time Traveler's Wife and I wanted to try to convey that sense of disappearance. I could conceive of two ways to accomplish this: photoshop or multiple exposure. Since my skills in photoshop (or GIMP) are fledgling at best, I opted for the second method. However, the camera isn't capable of it. "Hmm. I got it!" I picked up a party store strobe light and set it to the slowest setting it had and left the shutter open for a couple seconds, half the time with my hand in Mrs SmileMoon's hands, then quickly jerking it out of the frame before the next strobe flash went off. She was very patient with me. :-)

These old flags become so threadbare that you can see through them. They are like memories fading before your eyes.

UPDATE Editing is very slow-going and very hard. 2nd drafts are always harder, but this one particularly so. Pushing for Chapter 10, today. Book signing tomorrow. Have a great weekend!

Gotta go. Serious editing takes concentration...and Flickr has a way of distracting me very dramatically. I must finish the 2nd draft of Martha's Vine: The Sequel.
Will be back later, probably in a few weeks, maybe sooner if I can get the draft finished.
Wish me luck! Second drafts are hard to write, but my mind has begun writing again...and that's good...I am back into the zone. It'll be good to be back with Martha, Matthew, Meteor, Anna...and even Brad and The Man. And a new character named, Mervyn.
Happy Spring, everyone!

Shot in the side-view mirror of my Magnum...while David was driving! I don't shoot and take photos at the same time...usually. *grin*
Found this abandoned home in Summerville, Newfoundland. Looks like it was a nice property in it's day, and it has a great view, which I will post soon.
This tattered and faded Monarch butterfly was still sipping from milkweed flowers and laying eggs, although she is certainly in her last days.
Feel the rain like an English summer
Hear the notes from a distant song
Stepping out from a backdrop poster
Wishing life wouldn't be so long

This is lazy photography, I only walked 2 steps from the car in a quick dash to take in one of my fav places. The time was ticking away as I was on my way home.
This view is one I use to take in before I went fossil hunting. Seems a lifetime ago now. I must get out my hammers and hard hat this year and go foraging.
I think I love them just as much as they start to fade. Every year, their appearance just makes me so happy. Growing tulips in the desert isn't the easiest thing but most years, we manage to make it work. PA - routine. I am out every morning looking to see what is new in the garden. I couldn't believe my tulips started to bloom before I got home from our trip.

Seemed weird going to St Marys Lighthouse and not taking any pictures of the Lighthouse but I love these posts as well.

"Fade Into Sunrise", Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Michigan
Photographed this one after staying up all night shooting time-lapse of the Milky Way over Lake Michigan. I was pretty much totally exhausted and falling in and out of sleep waiting for the sunrise. Then all of the sudden I looked up to see Sleeping Bear Bay illuminated from the early sunrise red glow in deep red, orange and yellow brew of color tones across the surface of the slowly pulsing water.

1. I am travelling with my family right now, to visit relatives overseas.
2. I can now say I know what pot smells like, having walked the streets the Amsterdam it's impossible not to.
3. I stayed with relatives in a tiny village up a mountain, and it was the most wonderful experience.
4. In 3 weeks I've managed to fill my entire computer, even though it was empty when I left. Thousands and thousands of photos, oops.
5. I do miss my ocean.
6. I saw fireflies for the first time in Italy, and I felt like a small child I was so excited. They're magic, like fairies. We collected some in a jar and I took photos.
7. Cadbury chocolate tastes better here, and I plan to stock up on jelly tots.
8. I went to Alton Towers (theme park) today, and went on all the rides that I know I shouldn't have with my body. It was awesome!
9. I collect bracelets from everywhere I visit.
10. I am in love with my new camera, and my 50mm 1.4. I'd marry it if I could.
an extra, 11. I feel guilty that I've been a bad contact and haven't kept up with everyone's streams because I've rarely had internet access
Still doing the 50mm thing. Had a family dinner last night, got another good shot of my brother and his fiancé posing for me that I liked enough to upload.
Note: Don't usually do these types of pictures with the faded color or with just a splash of one color since I think it looks rather bad. But this is what was requested again, so here you are.
Shot with available "light", it was rather dark in the restaurant. An iPhone was used as a distraction/lightsource.
