Molly has been asking for a frog Pillow Pet for months. It was sold out at Christmas, so she finally got one for her birthday. A great posed smile from her, huh!

I finished this little sweater a long time ago. I think the calendar may still have read "2007." And then it sat and waited, and waited for buttons. Which I finally added this week, using EZ's "afterthought buttonhole" method, with not entirely satisfactory results. But you can't see how ugly the buttonholes are when it's buttoned up! It's a short cropped sweater, the very bottom is at the bottom of the picture. The idea was to make a fitted, cropped, long-sleeve version of a the green one I did last year.
My first Six-Spot Burnet this year, Zygaena filipendulae, I always look forward to seeing these colourful characters.

D40, insert split-prism screen, works perfectly.
D90, insert split-prism screen, focus way off, fiddle with,scuff screen beyond recognition, get katzeye screen, fiddle with metal shims and 3M tape. Rinse and repeat 8 times; finally get close enough, then do small adjustments using the MF cam under the mirror.
That was a lot harder than it should be.
3/3/08 - Polaroid 680 SE w/ 600 film
After yearning for many, many years, today I finally got a Polaroid 680. A little late in the game I suppose, what with the Polaroid announcement and all, but eh, I don't care, better late than never. And it was a good situation. I'm always hesitant to spend $$ on eBay on cameras that aren't guaranteed, but in my perusal of auctions this morning, I came across one located right here in Santa Fe. So Will and I went out and met the dude, tested the camera, wheeled and dealed, and that was that. Couldn't have asked for more instant gratification! And it is a pretty sweet camera. I am a happy girl. Blurry perhaps, but happy.
The weather outside is still blustery and cold,
but inside we share the warmth together.
As we all sit around and give thanks to God,
for allowing us this moment we will
Treasure forever.

Mon 24 June 2013
Finally day in Majorca and we spent it in Palma where we were staying. In the morning we went for a wander and took breakfast in a cafe.
In the afternoon we went for more of a wander - we were going to visit the Cathedral but there were queues and we didn't have a lot of spare time so instead headed to the Arab Baths. The gardens were lovely but the baths were quite small but for 2 euro admission it was worth a visit.
We had lunch at cafe Gastrobar on Passeig Born / Calle Born before heading back to the hotel to get the airport bus.
Weather and train lined up for me to catch the snazzy pair of UP SD59MX's on their Proviso to Bensenville transfer. Witness G39 easing down 3 lead for the IHB and Proviso Yard seen here at Franklin Park, IL. In essence, this train will make a big 6 mile U-turn to get to the old C&NW yard from here!
I finally got a new air compressor this week.
I decided, since I got a hole in ye old wallet. I might as well get something I really need..For once!
Hopefully this will last a few years, before it spring an air leak that can't be fixed.
In this period I have to face myself. With different images and different perspectives. But I do still love me a lot. I guess I'm finally knowing myself for real. And I'm not scaring anymore of what I'll find.
I can finally walk around now. I hope they're doing this everywhere around me tonight.
Also this was an attempt at panning. I actually got part of it :D
Since my PC forced my hand and started throwing cryptic messages that
wouldn't go away, I finally installed my new Mac. I'd wanted to do it for a
while, but the fact that I had to do some serious rearranging and cleaning
had made me keep putting it off. When the PC picked a day that I was a) on
campus and b) miraculously had no (zero, zilch) meetings scheduled to go belly up, I got
it done.

My small lens is finally back after a repair fortunately covered by the warranty.
This one was taken with a 40-150mm lens and two extension tubes (10mm and 16mm)

Voor de vakantie al een langere periode aan het zoeken geweest naar een leuk koor, het resultaat; mannenkoren, al dan niet met een kerkelijke achtergrond (niets mis mee laat ik dat duidelijk stellen, maar niet mijn 'ding'), of shantykoren e.d. Uiteindelijk Sing&Swing uit Coevorden gevonden, een gemengd (60 leden) en zeer enthousiste koor en vorige week een repetitie avond bijgewoond.Gisterenavond eerst een stemtest (bariton) en de repetitie meegedraait; er valt nog veel te leren, maar ik ga er voor [zal m'n tijd drastisch moeten beperken op Flickr ;-) ]
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes
They're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things
Will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?
