Hair done, makeup on... Ready to start the day. Now I just need to pick out my outfit. Any suggestions?
Tammy is almost ready to enjoy some summer fun. I'm going to do another day or two of acne cream on her torso belt line stains. They are really light now, but I'll try a little more. I'll probably just let her hair dry in the sleeve without curling it, but I may try a few rollers.

Sometimes you get clouded out by the only cloud in the whole sky, and sometimes the sun pops out at just the right time....
The modern version of the railfan telegraph was all a flutter this morning with news that the New York Central heritage unit, Norfolk Southern 1066, was leading ethanol empties on the former CGW/IC headed for Iowa. I kept tabs on the progress of the U705 and when he started onto the BNSF at Galena as the clouds were starting to break up, I decided it might be worth breaking out the drone to try a shot I'd been wanting to do with an afternoon westbound for a while. The train made it to East Dubuque in short order, but then ended up with a wait of over an hour for a barge to get through the bridge before the U705 finally got permission over the river and into Iowa.. A bank of clouds moved back through in the mean time, and it looked like it was ultimately going to be a cloudy shot. But in the opposite of the typical luck, for once the sucker hole worked out and for a brief moment as the lead engines passed, the sun popped through a sucker hole. Woo hoo!
The train is crossing over the Mississippi River and past a couple of Dubuque land marks in the Shot Tower at the left, and the former Star Brewery at right. The 1856 shot tower is a relic of the era when this region was known for lead mining. The tower was used to create spherical balls of shot by pouring the molten lead from near the top of the tower, which would form it into relatively round, uniform shapes as it fell and cooled.
Given the recent CN announcements, I hope one of these days I'll be able to recreate this shot with a more appropriate IC or CGW heritage unit...

Wifey is away for the weekend... Winner! What's a man supposed to do with himself on a Friday evening? Get nekkid of course! At least I'm honest gents ;)
So I have the living room to myself and out comes 'the gear'
Two light stands and an office chair mat courtesy of Ikea suspended between them. Gelled 'Medium Blue Green' YN560IV fired from below 1/16 @ 24mm. Gelled 'Rust' YN560IV fired from above and slightly behind me 1/8 @ 105mm. Ryus Lightworks MkII torch gelled 'Quality Street' orange and then a quick swap to a 'Quality Street' blue for the background faffery. These had the LPB black fibre modifier attachment. Exported to PS for some fartnarkling and lots of 'Liquefy' to hone the torso!! Then into LR for the RAW conversion.
Enough 'techie' Mark D :)
Thought I best make an effort after last nights quickie! Many thanks to all you folks who commented on my No1 :)

This guy gives me a couple of warning cries when I got too close to him with the camera.
He says he appreciates the nuts but not to push it with this picture taking thing!
Here's a little quilt that I've recently finished! I've called it Get Stacked and it's made using prints from Tula Pink's Nest collection as well as Kona Coal.

Love the transformation process, starting with hair/makeup and then a bra/waist cincher to give a more feminine shape

The old bumper came off last week so I could respray the rear valance and then once that was dry I could get on and fit the brand new bumper, looks so smart now! I have decided I am going to leave the wiper in place and not attack the dent as come sale time I think its better for me to be honest and sell her as she is.
Still a few things to do to her then it will be time to say goodbye unfortunately.

Die Kongresshalle ist ein Gebäude im Tiergarten in Berlin. Seit 1989 ist sie Sitz des Veranstalters Haus der Kulturen der Welt.
Sie wurde 1956/1957 als Beitrag der Vereinigten Staaten zur internationalen Bauausstellung Interbau errichtet und am 26. April 1958 von der für den Bau eigens gegründeten Benjamin-Franklin-Stiftung als Geschenk an Berlin übergeben. Der Architekt Hugh Stubbins entwarf sie als eine Konstruktion aus zwei Bögen aus Stahlbeton mit gemeinsamem Fußpunkt, die schräg stehend auseinander geklappt sind und zwischen sich die Dachkonstruktion spannen. Sie sind auf einem flachen, rechteckigen Sockelgeschoss errichtet. Das Gebäude wurde damals auch als „Leuchtturm der Freiheit“ verstanden und sollte die Werte des „Westens“ nach „Osten“ hin ausstrahlen. Deswegen wurde die Kongresshalle auf einen künstlichen Hügel gesetzt, so dass ihre Konturen auch aus dem Ostteil Berlins sichtbar waren.
Straßenseitig befindet sich eine Anlage aus mehreren Wasserbecken mit Springbrunnen und die Plastik Large Butterfly von Henry Moore, und spreeseitig liegt ein Garten-Café am Spreeufer.
Am 21. Mai 1980 stürzte die Dachkonstruktion während einer Konferenz des Rings Deutscher Makler teilweise ein, wobei ein Redakteur des Senders Freies Berlin tödlich verletzt wurde. Der Einsturz wurde nicht durch einen Statikfehler verursacht, sondern durch eine fehlerhafte Konstruktion und in erster Linie durch Ausführungsmängel. Die ungenügende Verpressung der Hüllrohre der Spannglieder und die dadurch ausgelöste Korrosion des Spannstahls führte zu einem Versagen der Konstruktion. Das Gutachten zum Teileinsturz der Kongresshalle fasste das Geschehen wie folgt zusammen: „Der Einsturz des südlichen Außendaches und Randbogens der Kongresshalle in Berlin wurde durch konstruktive Mängel bei der Planung und Bauausführung der Außendächer und als Folge davon durch korrosionsbedingte Brüche ihrer den Randbogen tragenden Spannglieder verursacht.“ Die Kongresshalle wurde 1987 unter Leitung der Architekten Hans-Peter Störl und Wolf Rüdiger Borchardt wiederaufgebaut.
Nach aufwendigen Renovierungsmaßnahmen wurde die Kongresshalle am 21. August 2007 – zum inzwischen dritten Mal in ihrer Geschichte – wiedereröffnet. Der Innenraum wurde in gestalterischen Aspekten dem Originaldesign aus den 1950er-Jahren nachempfunden.
Vorwiegend von Touristenführern und Journalisten wird die Kongresshalle aufgrund ihres Aussehens auch mit ihrem vermeintlichen Berliner Spitznamen „Schwangere Auster“, seltener „Jimmy Carters Lächeln“, bezeichnet. Aufgrund ihres futuristischen Aussehens wurde sie als Drehort für den Science-Fiction-Film Æon Flux und diverse andere Filme ausgewählt.

Went Marina Sands Casino for a photoshooting with 2 friends after work. Ended up this is one of the pictures I like best.
Exposure 1.5 sec handheld.
I still love blur shots. See more in my experimental set.
THanks to Carolyn Hietala for the title!
I took this photo at Østensjøvannet, a lake in Oslo during my recent visit to Norway. It is well known for the wide variety of birds and other wildlife that can be found there. It is surrounded by the Østensjø borough. It is currently a wildlife preserve.
The baby hummingbirds are about nine days old now, and big enough that their heads come beyond the edge of the nest during feeding time. The motherbird is away from the nest for longer periods as she tried to find enough food to feed them.
Getting around and exploring Amsterdam was fun especially in this area of Amsterdam by Grand Central station because I was limited to time and there were a lot of great photo opportunities within a 1 block radius so I spent the evening from Bluehour onwards in this area photographing different scenes.

Just learning to ride under a helpful eye. Seen while walking back from the beach near dusk. The background walker was too close in the best photo of the boy so she has been moved from the second photo when the boys leg was on the ground.
Have a good weekend when you get there. We are just 6 hours off it.
Red deer sometimes cross the busy Long walk to get to the other side of the park, which is great for the runners who frequent it, as it's a sight you don't often see on your morning jog :)

SSC - A Quiet Place
"That special moment when everything is quiet ( difficult at this time of year) but maybe when you’re just having 5 minutes. Or perhaps just before everyone wakes up the streets are still sleepy. Takes us with you for your interpretation of some quiet time.
Have a good week everyone"
At the moment most of my time is spent in a quiet place. My interpretation of this weeks challenge is to go to a place I am always happy. It achieves in so many ways for me, as said it's a place I am always happy, it provides sustenance, allows for creativity, can be shared with friends, and more, it relaxes me and is a place to destress, even simple tasks are therapeutic! Where am I my kitchen of course and in this case preparing breakfast which I think is possibly the most important meal of the day. I look out of my window and I see people hustling off to work, children walking to School, dog walkers with mutts of all shapes and sizes, all whilst I prepare for breakfast!!
