Cinko and Target immediately stole my new SX-70 right after I opened the box. Apparently they developed a taste for Polaroids...
This shot is also my small homage to one of my favorite Target photos.
As expected, I set up my lights for some jump shots and other hijinks at the Chase Jarvis Hangar Shoot on 08/08/08. Here are the 70+ photos from one of the setups. Guest appearances by Croctommy, Foole, and TrevinC.
The final freeze can be seen here.

Just finished my 29th straight month of daily hijinks with the We’re Here! gang. Being the obsessive type I am, it’s going to be really hard to see a break in that continuity – but I plan to take June off. I’ll be traveling in Europe, and it’s just going to be too stressful to play this wacky game while traveling.
I’ll still post something every day for the 365 group though, and I’ll be keeping a blog. So if you’d like to see how the trip is going, check goruthandfred.blogspot.ca/ We’re house/cat/horse-sitting for a week at my cousin’s place near Paris, then off to a reenactment of the Battle of Waterloo on the battle’s 200th anniversary, then on to see friends in Holland, back to Paris for two nights, and home to Canada on July 1 (Canada Day)!

As some of you might have noticed, my uploads have been seriously lacking in the past year...or so. >_>
I've just been spending far too much time in the RL rather than on SL, and it's not as common for me to post on Flickr when I'm having another 'break' from the Grid.
Anyways, here's one of many things that I have been known to get up to recently. If you haven't tried this game out, I highly recommend it. It keeps me in a fit of giggles most the time, but is a worthy time-killer if you're a fan of the TV cartoon series featured within it. Link to the game on Steam ...and it's free-to-play!
Have a blast! （╯°□°）╯︵( .o.)
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence took on the Quake rugby team in a game of kickball in Cal Anderson Park, on Seattle's Capitol Hill. It was a fundraiser for the Capitol Hill Alano Club.
The smaller bear, the female, is obviously annoyed by the train horn. If you look carefully at about 25 seconds into the video, you will see her throw her head back while running and bark like a dog. I didn't know bears could do that.
The video was shot from a safe observation platform at Montana Grizzly Encounter in Bozeman, Montana. Thanks to naturalist and former NatGeo TV host Casey Anderson whose dream this is, the public can come to learn about grizzlies up close and in a spacious natural mountain setting on top of Bozeman Pass.
This looks like someplace Doctor Who (Tom Baker, the best ever) would land the Tardis and he'd walk down to the little village below and all kinds of hijinks would ensue. Remember the picture of The Hollow Hills? Well, this medieval tower is walking distance from the bookstore. It was a fun excursion. You have to keep opening and closing gates because there are sheep and horses everywhere. No knights in shining armor. Later, we were glad to discover that we could ride a bus down, back into town, a scruffy little mini-bus. It would've been a long walk.
This is looking west.
While we were here, a young mother decided to come into the medieval tower so she could breastfeed her baby. I'm not sure if it's because there was a stone bench or she wanted to get more privacy from the picnickers outside or maybe she wanted to get out of the wind but I thought it was pretty funny in that once she stationed herself in here, various people would stroll into the tower to take a look, see her in the relatively confined space, and would Oops, oh good heavens! I'm so sorry to walk in on you! Peoples' reactions were like Candid Camera. Geez people! It's just a mom nursing her baby! It didn't occur to me there could possibly be any expectation of privacy. As I took this picture, my peripheral vision detected that I was a distraction to baby, who kept stopping nursing, to look over, lol. I remember when the boys would do that.
While there might be a few more hang-ups or tutting about public breastfeeding in America in certain places, along with hyper-sexualization of breasts, I'm not sure about the English. They can be quite prim and proper. Maybe it's similar to the U.S., where it simply depends where you're at in the country?
I did have an aunt when I was growing up, who was rather immodest, and the searing vision of her humongous breasts when she was nursing my little cousin in full view, took years to dissipate out of my neural pathways (I was ten years old, I'd just begun ogling National Geographic pictures at the library).
I support laws that protect public nursing. Can you imagine trying to apply some of those codes or rules to certain places in the Middle East? I also think it's important in the workplace to make available, private spaces for nursing mothers to pump breastmilk for later. When they were still very little babies, I took my boys to their mother's office on some days, so they could nurse.
The nursing discourse is a bizarre tangent, isn't it?
I have several other pictures from the tower that have people in them, they're probably better. I don't know how or when to share them, I hate sharing similar pictures too close together. I wanted to put this one first, though. I like timelessness.
I shot this right towards the sun, and it took quite a bit of editing to make anything out of it at all. The sun looks deceptively white, though in reality, it was blindingly bright yellow even behind those clouds!
There were six of four-ways one could approach the subject of love, forays into the unknown. In by this, it is meant the analysis of its corporealness, head-on-a-slabstone type thing, or conversely, avowing ‘em whilst wowing ‘em, as with the essential tenets of religion conviction - blind man’s belief baby! The subdivisions, crossovers, cluttering up of diverse yet succinct meanings, definitions of the two, without the help of the One, picking up of pertinent and salient points, as if they’d fallen off a domino and were scattered all about the joint, these were but a few of the tangents one was mostly likely to go off on as the stalking took form, got backing and was executed. Never without some kind of hijinks involved, or a multifaceted stratagem lurking in amongst the hedge grove, or perhaps even, at its peak end, a brush with death, the entire kit and caboodle often just stunk, even going so far as suggesting a trip out to the tip and disposing of the whole lot.

UP 1843 adds a little excitement to a lunch break. The SD40N is the only unit online as it struggles to pull 110 empties out of the Fox River Valley.
I took a half day off work this week for an eye doctor appt and to hang out with the kiddos. Due to the "big snow", the eye doctor cancelled, so I listened to the radio feed and heard a couple of westbounds coming on the NS Southern West District. First up was train 168 for Granite City with a nice SD60M (ex Conrail) leader. We didn't need to run far from the house and got the shot at MP 22 - or as Grady calls the buffalo crossing. (There's a buffalo that lives trackside at a farm and he was out chilling next to the fenceline.)
