Der Stoff ist rot, die Türe weiß,

das Licht kommt ungebeten,

durch beide, durch die Luft -

- ein Auge siehts, ein Auge weiß

es nicht, hats nicht mim reden,

doch beide spürn den Duft

von rot, von Stoff, von Tür, von weiß

auf Decke und Tapeten,

der schnell verpufft, doch ruft

das Rot: Ein Foto, los!

bevor das Licht verglost,

ein Foto, um das Rot zu retten ...

Kann es glücken? Glückt es? - Nein : Wie zum Beweis

die Blume an der Wand erblüht schwarzweiß.

This is an older photo, but I like it a lot. It was taken a little over 7 months ago and I never posted it.

My nephew, Marcus, celebrates his third birthday today, November 21.

He is a sweet little boy with really great manners. I think he also has a bit of obsessive compulsive disorder from *both* of his parents. ha ha ( I think it runs in our family )

The above photo was when he was still in his crib. It was when I put him down to sleep one evening I was watching him when his parents went out.

Marcus had a routine he used to go through in his bedroom...I am SO GLAD my brother filled me in on his night time routine or the poor little boy would have been lost with me having no clue what he went through before he goes to bed.

To activate "everything" you needed to flip the lightswitch on the all. The baby monitor would come on and so would the ceiling light. You would have to hold Marcus up to pull the ceiling chain to turn his own bedroom light off...he would then push the remote control button to turn on the CD to play nice soothing music and then he used to go in the crib with his favorite animal, the Dolphin...also named Dolphin. The baby monitor always played such nice music when he was sleeping...I guess it was this CD all along. Oh things have changed so much since I had little ones. We did not even have baby monitors back in the dinosaur ages !!

The red and black outfitted cow, Bogart, used to always be one of his favorite bed time friends. He had to get himself situated in his crib....with his Dolphin right next to his head and the cow's arm under his chin. I almost laughed watching him do this....but oh he was so very serious with this routine.

I guess he doesn't even do this with the cow anymore....with his new big boy twin bed. The Dolphin is still his favorite, but the cow has been replaced with two other animals as his nighttime friends. Bogart, the cow is still around just in case he needs the long arm under his chin again. ; ) I don't think anything will ever replace Dolphin.

This photo was taken a few minutes later... after I popped in to check on him and he was still the exact way he had fixed himself, only now....sound asleep. My once chuckle....turned into a big smile in gazing down upon this sweet little child.

Happy Birthday a little early, Marcus. Aunt Lisa will see you November 21...with some nice cupcakes and your present. : )

Our Daily Challenge-Light Switch

This is the night-light I use and the light switch for above the sink.

More pics of this castle here.

The last few images from my Home Farm set, i'm finally getting around to uploading them.

This was inside number #19, the final house I entered at the estate. Of course I couldn't finish the set without a little urban acid, so befitting of scenes like this I find.

I guess with every artist there is that uncertainty of whether and where you've crossed that line between art and lewdness. I got these printed at Walmart a while ago on one of the self-serve machines and she looked at each photo before she punched in the price. She stopped on this one, and turned to an older lady beside her who was with a customer, showed her the photo and asked her if this was pornography. After a few raised eyebrows and pursed lips, I got my photos back, but I was told I wouldn't be allowed to print images like this there anymore. Go figure.

For Macro Mondays "PushPull" theme. The white switch, which has a mother of pearl inlay, is pushed to turn the light on, The black button then pops up which can be pushed to turn the light off. The switch probably dates from the early 20th century.

This has been blogged and mapped. Information on how it is that a "roman" bath is hidden halfway down an obscure back-alley in central London can be found on the aforementioned blog.

-Snow White and the Seven Dwarves

During the 10 hour car ride back from Oregon I started thinking about shadows morphing into different shapes that were metaphoric. The looming inevitable future or the past you can't escape. This brought me to think about the different fairy tales (cause you know me and my fairy tales) and how each of the characters has the one thing that changed their life. Their metaphoric shadow.

Okay I am in a warped phase. I suppose it will pass.

The shadows on a wall of a farmhouse over a very old-fashioned light switch with a beauty of its own

Hope you like it. Later I am going to photograph the most magnificent amaryllis growing in the river garden.

happy Monday to you all

Another view of the lightswitch I used for my 365 today. Seems macro and abstract enough for me to fit it into my 100x too. Handy really as I'm falling behind on this one.

Scene from a waiting room.

Waiting and waiting....

Quite possibly the best comedy movie ever made. This bluto doll moves and quotes lines from this legendary movie

Saw this masterwork of debris today on a walk. Once the inner of a bath or kitchen (you can see the tiles and the light switch) it's today a wall of an public open-air parking place

another from the Pennsylvania house.

Abandoned hospital

This is an old, old light switch. Really it should be replaced but there is something satisfying about the look and the feel of the action of it. The bakelight has been polished by tens of thousands of uses. A reassuring clunk when you turn it on and off, so it stays.
