Sit a while.
In silence and just listen to their past blowing in the winds.
Listen to the distant forgotten orders barked to Gunner and Bombardier.
In their hob nailed boots, puttees and sleeves rolled up.
Waiting for the barges Mog and Magog laden with Canon and shot.
They pull as one, muscles ripping and sinews crying on salt encrusted hemp.
Harder, pull together One, two, three the SMIG’s bellow
Damn them, damn them all, their eyes afire with brine and tears...
But the Gunners........ they are proud and tall.

D.A. got that dope
The universe must want me to win
I'm happier than I've ever been, ever been, yeah
Feeling this good should be a sin, yeah
The universe must want me to win, yeah
The universe just gave me a lick
Sent down an angel so fine and so thick, yeah
Feeling this good should be a sin, yeah
The universe must want me to win, yeah
Sent me an angel
I woke up smilin' this mornin', feeling so grateful
I'm drippin' in 40 pointers, mama, I made it
I had a dream about this feeling and I claimed it
Yeah, I embraced it
I'm so blessed, and I probably don't deserve all this
And I know that, yeah, I know that I'm a mess
But you see more than the surface
Girl, you more than beautiful, you're perfect, oh
Heaven only knows, oh, woah, woah
You're more than what I want, you're what I need
Gotta give it up, oh woah, woah, woah
You're more than what I dream, yeah
The universe must want me to win
I'm happier than I've ever been, ever been, yeah
Feeling this good should be a sin, yeah
The universe must want me to win, yeah
The universe just gave me a lick
Sent down an angel so fine and so thick, yeah
Feeling this good should be a sin, yeah
The universe must want me to win, yeah
Did it hurt when you came down to fall like that?
Stuck the landing of course 'cause you raw like that
Should've known it was God with no flaws like that
All and all in that, I'd risk it all for that
I don't know what I did in this life or the last
To deserve such a prized perfection (perfection)
Baby, I will fight so it lasts to the next and beyond
Give me that blessing
Heaven only knows, oh, oh, oh
Knows it's being what I want, it's what I need
Gotta give it up, oh, oh, oh
You're more than what I dream, yeah
The universe must want me to win (oh)
I'm happier than I've ever been, ever been, yeah (mmm)
Feeling this good should be a sin, yeah (mmm)
The universe must want me to win, yeah (yeah, yeah)
The universe just gave me a lick
Sent down an angel so fine and so thick, yeah
Feeling this good should be a sin, yeah
The universe must want me to win, yeah
You in love now
Feeling like I just made a touchdown
Ten seconds on the clock, they can't stop us now
We on top of the world, me and my baby, oh-oh
But it ain't no rush now
Yeah, we movin' fast, it's past a crush now
Couple seconds on the clock and they can't stop us now
Just me and my, just me and my baby
The universe must want me to win (oh)
I'm happier than I've ever been, ever been, yeah (ever been, yeah)
Feeling this good should be a sin, yeah
The universe must want me to win, yeah
The universe just gave me a lick
Sent down an angel so fine and so thick, yeah
Feeling this good should be a sin, yeah
The universe must want me to win, yeah
Sometimes, I am just lucky! I was in Chinatown in Philly on the holy Caturday of the week waiting to meet my friend Chris when this woman stepped out of the house across the street with her cat, Gunner. Look at this adorable cat belly! I'm a bit late on the Caturday post but there is still just a little bit of time left today.

I've seen this TurboS before, but never at night. The lighting was usable so I tried and liked how it came out.

Gunner the kitten digging through birthday presents at our great grandson's 8th BD party.
I am going to take a break. Be back before to long.
Finally Gunner is here! I had the concept since January and it was the Doll I was most interested to build. This final result isn't as good as I expected, mostly because of the cape as I wasn't able to find a better piece of cloth (which comes ironically from my own cape), but for now it works. =P

Polaroid Super Shooter
Polaroid ID-UV Film exp. 05/2006
Also known as as Gunner Pool Dam. Built by the CCC but still a worthy stop for us on our trip. I lost two shots out of this pack when a tab broke. Also didn’t share one that wasn’t real clear. I’ve got about two more to share and that wraps up the Polaroids from the trip. The rest will have to wait until October and most likely the Fall Polaroid Week because they’re part of the ghost series.
... coffee every morning with Max Lucado is my current therapy du jour. That's Lucado with a long "A" and I found that out listening to some of Max's Upwords on his website:
I've resisted the impulse to go to Max's website, highlight and copy some of his best stories and paste them here for you to read. If you want to read Max Lucado, do it the right way. Go buy one of his books or go check one out at your library. You owe it to yourself to take him seriously.
Day before yesterday I had a big grin at one of Max's stories. He tells of going to the church gym to play basketball. The players are made up of a diverse age and size variety, Max calls the "flat bellies" and the "fat bellies."
The flat bellies are agile and admired for their precision moves. They score a high percentage of baskets as the morning workout progresses. They are however, very tolerant and respectful of the fat bellies.
the fat bellies are very respectful of the flat bellies and admire their precision moves, their high basket scores and their youth and vitality.
The flat bellies respect the fat bellies because the fat bellies have the keys to the gymnasium in their pockets.
We all need to go through life remembering who has the keys to the gymnasium in their pocket.
I'd heard this story before, probably in one of Sherry's sermons (she's been reading Max Lucado for years).
Two battleships have been in stormy seas for days on manuevers off the Pacific Coast. In the early morning hours, still stormy with visibility at near zero, the intercom crackles "forward lookout to bridge, there's a light dead ahead." Because of the weather, the Captain has remained on the bridge and responds, "Forward lookout, this is the Captain, keep observing the light and tell me if it moves starboard or port or remains steady. If it remains steady it means we are on collision course."
A little while later the forward lookout reports the light is remaining steady. The captain sends a signalman out who flashes the message. "Light off point bow, change your course twenty degrees." From the light there comes the signal, "You change your course twenty degrees." The captain has the signalman send, "I am the Captain of this vessel and I command you to change your course by twenty degrees." The response comes, "I am a Yeoman 2nd Class and I instruct you to change your course twenty degrees."
Enraged, the Captain has this message sent, "This is a United States Battleship, change your course twenty degrees." From the light comes the response, "This is a lighthouse, change your course twenty degrees."
I don't need to finish this story. But the question that begs being answered is, "How much of our time do we spend demanding that lighthouses change their courses?"
I got Karen's beautiful red sunset shortly after I'd finished my "Coffee with Max" session and this thought came to mind.
An unusually percentage of males have a visual abnormality known in laymen's terms as "red-green color blindness."
During World War II, one of the sad things was the number of qualified young men who wanted to be aircraft pilots, but were color-blind. As I recall, they became bombardiers or navigators or maybe gunners. They can't be policemen. They will live and die and never know what the color "red" looks like.
I've tried to image how you could describe with words the color "red" to someone, to lessen their loss. I haven't even come up with a vague outline.
The question we all need to ask is, "What are our color-blind spots, our blind spots? What are the things we will never be able to fathom because of a flaw in one of the five senses?" If we know ourselves, our strengths (like the keys to the gym in our pocket) and our weaknesses (like color-blindness) and accept them, we'll be better able to deal with life.

Just wanted to attract your attention, in order to introduce this video, the thumbnail of which doesn't look that good. I made the video with my new DSLR, a Canon 5D Mark ii.
GUNNER is 50 years old and was raised in captivity by the original owner. Present owner have had him for the past 7 years. Original owner was an elderly lady and she had to move to another state to be closer with family. She couldn't bring Gunner with her.
Finally having some strength on my right wrist and hopefully be able to comment on your beautiful photos soon!
