How can a week long theme be at number 8? :-) Anyway... National tree week ends tomorrow. This one's from a very flat, low lying, boggy and soggy heathland near home, on a misty colourful sunrise. I waited until the sun got high enough to position in the bough of the tree and catch the little sunburst. (might need to view large to see it).

Panoramic view from Urambi Hills toward the Brindabella mountains at sunset. I don't think I have ever seen the countryside this green. I guess we should make the most of it before the bushfire season sets in!
I am glad they are online and I can now get my laser hair removal delivered.
Hate having to go out for it.

Yeah, I feel like uploading another pic :-)
This was a super gorgeous flower, a rich color and a unique shape!
I am not sure how I will ever get around to uploading pics of my 5 days trip to US. It was in May and I still have loads of shots to go!

Front pager.
any idea's, obviously I know what it is silly, I took the pic!...and there are no clues in the tags, happy guessing!
I wonder how many people in this city
live in furnished rooms.
Late at night when I look out at the buildings
I swear I see a face in every window
looking back at me
and when I turn away
I wonder how many go back to their desks
and write this down.

Me: Why are you wearing that hat when it's 80 degrees out?
She: It's how I roll.
Me: I'm going to take your photo ok?
She: I'm not smiling though.
Me: If you don't want to smile so be it. Life isn't always rainbows and sausages right? That's from Bridesmaids isn't it?
She: No, it's from Wife Swap...Life is unfair.
Me: That's true, life is not fair. What in particular are you referring to.
She: Men and women, men can walk around with their shirts off and women can't.
Me: That's right, I never really thought about it too much but you're right. Do you feel like walking around the streets without a shirt and just that hat?
She: No, it's just not fair that I can't if I want to and men can, why?
Me: Well, if women started walking around the streets without shirts people would get distracted and there would be lots of car accidents.
She: I'm serious.
Me: I'm sorry, I personally would rather all people wear shirts in the street, it seems more civilized.
She: That would be more fair at least.
Food for thought.
Men, wear a shirt today it's only fair.
Around midday now the sun gets up high enough in the sky to be able to see/place it behind the top of a pylon while standing on the Tilikum Crossing bridge; when it's lower in the sky you have to find a place off the bridge to place it similarly. It's interesting how the perspective from the point of view above makes the halo appear much smaller than the bridge, where as from a location off the bridge (see first comment below) the halo appears almost as large as than the whole span of the bridge.

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
I needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs
and there you were
With sweet love and devotion
deeply touching my emotion
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby
"What shall we use
To fill the empty spaces
Where we used to talk?
How shall I fill
The final places?
How should I complete the wall"

The moment I let go of it was the moment I got more than I could handle.
How 'bout stopping eating when I'm full up?
How 'bout no longer being masochistic?
Thank you nothingness.
An eastbound CP freight rolls through Pleasant Prairie on the C&M Subdivision back in 2003.
The auto frames are no longer transported this way, and the foliage has really grown and this view is no longer possible.
Even the nice looking Dual Flags SD40-2 suffers from ETTSitis.
How I begin my day? Some folks are afraid of the big city. The cold #urban #environment and bus loads of sometimes callous folks. Some say that they would rather be in a small town---where people are friendly and everyone knows each other. I can see those places as providing a safety net for many. But for me, I thrive in the big cities---San Francisco, New York, Paris, London, Rome. I often make friends in places where many people from people. I have found cool folks in #coffeeplaces, #winebars and #restaurants all over #sanfrancisco who are warm, friendly and real human beings. They provide professional service as expected but they they go the extra mile and are real human beings. Yes, life in the big city does not have be cold and ugly. All you have to do is to communicate and be aware of your surroundings. So after stopping and seeing my pals this morning, John and Dominick today at #coffeecultures, I am at my office across of the street ready to taste wines, write and work on my best #photographs.

Spring Pools - by Robert Frost
These pools that, though in forests, still reflect
The total sky almost without defect,
And like the flowers beside them, chill and shiver,
Will like the flowers beside them soon be gone,
And yet not out by any brook or river,
But up by roots to bring dark foliage on.
The trees that have it in their pent-up buds
To darken nature and be summer woods---
Let them think twice before they use their powers
To blot out and drink up and sweep away
These flowery waters and these watery flowers
From snow that melted only yesterday.
