Hey Look I am half way though!!!
I met Jampel through a mutual friend in a local sustainable group. The group had a booth at the Mother Earth News Fair. Two days of talks about organic gardening, sustainable living, bee keeping, eating fresh, etc. I had agreed to have my home a stop on a bicycle tour to show an edible yard in the making. So Jampel and I were talking about my neighborhood which turns out was his too. We grew up in the same area, but I was 10 years older so we never knew each other. He is also a monk and it living without money. It sounds so beautiful, because we are tied to the importance of this currency so tightly we cant enjoy life unless we have it. Most of the struggles in life are tied to money, it would be so nice to be able to let go of that. I dont think I can, but the act of letting go really is inspiring, puts my own money struggles in perspective. I can buy groceries and pay my bills, I am okay. Anyway...
It was really nice meeting Jampel and I hope we do not stay strangers :) Thanks For being #50 Jampel!

I'm really happy with the fact that the sky turned out to match the blue on the sign and the red of the door matches the red of the sign. I didn't plan it that way.
It's unusual for a street dog to be quite this outgoing and jump on your chest the second he meets you. This guy had a fantastic personality and the second I called him over he acted as if we've known each other for a lifetime.
There were a few people at the bus stop who looked strangely at us - seeing that I wasn't shrieking and backing up when the dog jumped on me, but he was just friendly - a good smart dog who would have made a fabulous pet if someone would adopt him.
Kicking off new years on Flickr with good food, like every new year should start with. Friendly's all-American cheese burger. HAPPY 2012, HAPPY EATING!
My husband meet this happy friendly Japanese man in Tokyo next to the Imperial Palace in April 2008. His English was quite good which he learnt from the radio. They spoke for about 20min. My husband spoke some Japanese to him, which made him extremely happy.

I have had this copper and wood finial item for some time now and still have no idea what it is. maybe its a pole head ?
if it is then this one must be rare as it is made in copper and I have only see brass ones up to now.
The copper is thin and can spin like a prayer wheel.
Friendly Society Brasses were the emblems of village Friendly Societies.
What is the Friendly society about ?
Friendly Societies provided insurance for workers before the welfare state. They served social purposes and companionship and offered to members funds for funerals, money for medical care, and sick pay. Members also participated in ceremonial parades when banners were displayed. The highlight of the year was the annual feast day. Friendly Societies were particularly strong in rural communities in Somerset during the 19th and early 20th centuries. They were carefully administered and members adhered to strict rules. Women were excluded from most 'clubs'.
Club 'brasses' were mounted on poles and used during parades. The pole heads had different motifs, often depicting symbols of friendship and community. The Huntspill Friendly Society brass comprises oak leaves and acorns, symbolising strength, longevity, Englishness, and the idea that regular small contributions can grow into something useful.
A popular saying is that 'Great oaks from little acorns grow'.

I did some facepainting at the launch of the Global Work Action 10/10/10 Malaysia (9 - 11.30pm; Sunday, 11 July 2010; at field in front of Amcorp Mall). The theme was ONE WORLD, ONE GOAL. It was held in conjunction with the finals of the World Cup 2010, which Spain won.
This young girl was my first patron and she was very friendly. Most of the painting I did were the flags of Spain and The Netherlands. It was quite an experience. The organisers were Waterfall Survivors and Tourism Malaysia.
Global Work Action 10/10/10 raises awareness about Climate Change and mobilises people to do something about it.
So we moved to another lake and this little fellow was feeding near the water. We all had to move back with the big glass to shoot him while feeding. After a short while he decided to come our way which put us all on the move. He had that wild eyed look for a bit which I never trust.
Oh Yea full frame.

This guy is always hanging around when we're in the garden, to see what tasty morsels we're going to disturb for him.
