My version of Getter One, as seen in ''Getter Robot: The Last Day''. I made the Black Getter one year ago, but with this I have improved the internal frame, now taller (230 mm), more solid and with many extractable joints (Black Getter will soon have the same treatment ^^). I used a sticker for the red ''V'' on the legs.

I watched these two girls seemingly struggle with getting there camera settings right. Finally they got there and started taking images.

Two pluses to getting older

1. I care less what others think so I am more comfortable with my femside.

2. More breast tissue! Not all would agree with this but I have chosen to enjoy it! As they say grow a pair.😄

It's harvest time, with a definite chill in the air and a certain urgency for Colorado animals to get ready for winter. This little chipmunk was busy gathering seeds, no doubt to add to its cold weather cache.

 

Thanks so much for your views, faves and comments!

Today's cold and wet weather was good for visiting Tower Hill Botanical Garden, where there are two large orangeries. I should've taken note of this plant's name.

The Tommy Emmanuel Concert at the Birchmere in Alexandria, Virginia February 6, 2018

I guess I owe and apology... I kinda have up on my 52 week project :( I'm not really sure what happened... I guess I just lost motivation/inspiration

Okay...a couple more shots of my new friend. I went out yesterday morning to see if I could get some shots of the kits. They were nowhere to be found but mom is starting to get a little friendly. Going out this morning to give it one more shot ; )

It was very cold overnight, just below minus fourteen in our neighbourhood, and first thing this morning the flickers got frisky with one another.

 

They were doing this dance for ten minutes while I watched and took pictures from the window. Eventually they disappeared.

 

And later the female came back for peanuts.

This beautiful female Northern Cardinal took me by surprise..Staring right through me she was that's for sure..

 

Enjoy! Have a great weekend everyone. (It's snowing here in Mississauga, so I'm posting yet another shot today)

Somewhere in California.

 

In Winterhaven, CA, for some forgotten reason (it's been ten months) I took a side road. Something caught my eye... maybe a sign, maybe an object in the distance... something. I left the town, drove by a canal and the road turned to gravel. The landscape was interesting, so I continued driving without a destination nor much of a care, as I wasn't on any schedule.

 

At some point I turned on my Forester's GPS, but didn't get a map that showed where I was headed, just the old "driving on unnamed road" or similar. Then I turned on my Garmin, and eventually my phone's GPS as well. I still couldn't determine if I was getting anyplace or if I need to turn around. I drove for nearly an hour (I know that from the times my photos were taken), but probably no more than fifteen or twenty miles or so.

 

I finally saw a sign that indicated I was entering the Picacho State Recreation Area, which I found on a PAPER map I had, and saw that, other than by swimming across the Colorado River, there was no way to Arizona (my destination) except by retracing my route.

 

I swear I am not making this up. At one point on the return drive, one GPS (I had by then set them all to "go home") announced "turn left at the next intersection". Within SECONDS, another said to "turn right". I fully expected the third to direct me to make a u-turn, but it just continued to point straight ahead. Of course the other two were annoyed that I didn't turn as ordered but eventually "recalculated" to the same route.

 

The one cell phone photo I took with location turned on helped me to geotag this photo, which is probably as close as flickr ever gets it even when placed on an exact street corner.

    

Like many of you, I've Christmas traditions.

 

A relatively new one is to celebrate by having a fancy dinner out with my beautiful girlfriends.

 

I like to dress for the occasion.

 

Who doesn't?

 

This year, I retrieved a cheery red satin dress from the back of the clothes rack for this year's event. Some may recognize it from photos taken at a Christmas event about four years ago. It still fits!

 

Before showing some images from the event, I figured some would like to see how I prepare.

 

My first step is to assemble the ensemble on an antique coat tree stand. As an example - See left image in the composite. Mixing and matching might take several iterations. This year, I was trying to justify a green satin dress but given a choice - there just was no fair competition with red. Agree?

 

A decision about a final "Get Up" for the evening is close when it is just a matter of selecting shoes, and hair. In this case, I chose closed toe kitten heels because they are stable and warmer in winter months, and...... I won't have to get a pedi. Whew!

 

Though I've a lot of hair in different lengths in the same color range - I chose a more mature cut.

 

Modern, sophisticated, classy ---that's me!

 

On the right side of this composite - you can see how I'm nearly ready to "Go."

 

These are not glamour photos - but instead reveal some details of the process I take to get ready.

 

Other details - red gloss fingernails with gold glitter nail accent, sparkly/shimmery hose, gold glitter accent scarf, gold Christmas tree pin, gold chain necklace and matching earrings, gold broadband ring and bracelet.

 

My evening makeup featured gold metallic eye shadow and cranberry lip gloss.

 

My clutch is a gold glitter borrowed from my spouse.

 

The natural blue fox coat took my look over the top!

 

The goal was to appear as a beautiful red and gold wrapped Christmas present!

 

Blah, blah, blah, blah.... Sorry to prattle on.

 

For me, it takes days contemplating options and hours of preparation.

 

That is why, when I finally emerge in public - appreciative comments of friends and strangers - mean a lot!

 

But even if not appreciated by others, it feels good knowing I did my best.

 

So how do you like my "get up" and "go" look?

 

A few photos out and about later.

on our way to Canyonlands, but with a little Artistic TZ this time.

After the Getter One moc, I've heavily revisited the Black Getter, with new proportions, details, cape position (Zurg cape) and scarf (two Harry Potter minifig capes) and predisposition for a stand.

I got the idea from the opening credits of the tv series Dexter, where you see the morning ritual of Dexter ending with pulling his t-shirt on.

52 weeks of 2016 - Week 36: Nothing in focus

Forgive the not so nice background of this picture but I was playing with Isabel yesterday and suddenly the light was perfect. I love how she looks so real here!!

 

I changed her eyes and wig and they feel right. She's also starting to call herself Ema. Not sure yet about the clothes but we're getting there.

 

Ema is an Iplehouse Isabel

I've always been the quiet type. Good at observation and blending in. That's me!

 

Uncomfortable with, and thus avoiding the spotlight or stage of any kind - I thrive in shadows.

 

A shade loving plant.

 

That is why its puzzling I allow myself to be pushed on occasion. This hotel pool scene is an example.

 

Nora in public, in daylight, in a costume that hides little. That's not pushing boundaries - its totally ignoring them!

 

Funny - once having the attention of an audience, I feel compelled to perform - or at least act the part. My motivator is fear of disappointing others. If the audience expects to see a bathing beauty poolside - I feel it necessary to act like one.

 

In this photo I'm glancing to an onlooker to gauge his satisfaction with my performance. I've got his attention and he's not good at being subtle. However its just not clear how he feels so I appear perplexed.

 

Some might say "Silly Nora - just be yourself. Don't worry about what others think."

 

But what if my purpose in life is to help others? Perhaps my performances, designed to meet expectations, are a way I am being myself. After all - no one is forcing me.

 

Why do we do what we do?

    

York Races - Thursday 22nd August 2024

Pansy is supervising to make sure nobody gets smashed.

The spontaneity of creating...

 

get inspired by a random prop

find a willing model

fire up the iPhone camera

press a volunteer into holding a spotlight

edit in snapseed

tweak in lens distortions

finalize in mextures

and then one last crucial step...

 

share.

 

p.s. equally crucial: have fun doing all of the above!

 

p.p.s. happy sliders sunday everyone!
