The first image from a five day shoot in the Scotish highlands last week. We had mostly fine clear weather so getting some colour was appreciated.
My Bella was asleep on the floor and looked so adorable so I went to grab my camera. I was worried that she'd move when I tried to take the picture, but she didn't. She just opened her eyes as if to say... 'oh not again'.
If you would like to use my photograph my explicit permission is required, Thanks
H.L. Green was a chain of variety stores that may have been limited to the South. Green's was ultimately merged into the McCrory conglomerate of variety stores, which caused the remaining Green's stores to shutter when McCrory's finally bottomed-out circa 2000. The old Downtown Atlanta store seems to be in pretty decent shape and I believe it's on the historic register.
Broad Street at MLK, Atlanta.
Here are examples of two very different green coffee beans. The beans on the left are from the Malabar region in India.
One of the worlds most exotic coffees, Monsoon Malabar was discovered by accident when a cargo of coffee beans aboard a wooden-hulled ship acquired a unique tang after being somewhat exposed to the elements during a particular monsoon while negotiating the Cape of Good Hope. Exposed to the monsoon winds for a few weeks the coffee flavors become richer and smoother. Monsoon Malabar coffee is full bodied , very low acidity with a spicy woody flavor.
The beans on the right are from Colombia.
Colombian Supremo coffee is grown high in the Colombian Andes and is famous for it's smooth pleasant acidity, smooth finish, nutty overtones and rich medium to full body. Colombian coffee is the world's second largest producer of coffee and is famous for consistently producing fine gourmet coffees.
This is the "Green Gable" from Zephrknits.com I modified the bottom of it by echoing the lace portion featured in the neckline. Since this photo, blocking has added a bit of length to it, it's perfect!
Agapostemon virescens, bicolored Agapostemon. Nesting in my lawn under a shade tree -- a row of 3 burrow openings. Typically one will be waiting at the mouth of the burrow like this, presumably defending the opening until a new one comes up from below, at which point the 1st one will take off & the new one will pop her head up.
Green ship mounted on blue tank. Small front canopy ship detaches. Larger computer console area in rear with swiveling command chair. The roof makes use of mostly smooth soccer baseplate pieces. The chunky wings are slightly adjustable and open for storage of weapons, etc. Ship stands on 3 round feet which nestle on circular smooth tiles on tank

The new Cal Academy will be covered in a "living roof" - to be planted with approximately 1.7 million plants. Native species like California poppies, Beach strawberries and miniature lupine will attract and provide habitat for local butterflies and bees.
The roof will also provide an insulating layer for the building that will reduce energy needs for air-conditioning. Approximately 2 million gallons of rainwater each year will be prevented from becoming storm-water runoff that carries pesticides, oil, litter, and other pollutants into the San Francisco Bay and other ecosystems.
