I have not been very active here on Flickr...at least not when it comes to uploading. However, I have grown up and realized that I don't need to impress anyone! I need to take pictures I want to take! Speaking of...I finally got my Nikon D300!! So incredibly exciting!! Plus I have a wedding at the Biltmore tomorrow (my favorite place in the world) so this is going to be a great weekend! Be prepared to be bombarded with some details!! :)
Oh and I definitely want to send out a HuGe thank you to Kane Longden for the AmAzInG action!! You are so incredibly talented and its so exciting that you reached 1,000 Likes on Facebook!! Congrats!

I was contacted by a modeling agency today :O no way! I have to make sure their legit. With my luck, they won't be. I want to model so bad, but it can be a seriously dangerous industry. I'm not sure what to do now.
Listen to 'Barton Hollow-The civil wars
The most fun shoot ever!
Our team consisted of:
(the incredible) Nhuc Tran- Model
Helen Brown - Makeup artist
Kane Longden - Assistant, flour boy, lumberjack
Alan Greenwood - Assistant, handyman, prop finder
This was so much fun! We all bought bags and bags of flour and covered the room in it. Totally Tim Walker inspired of course! Alan found this old fireplace in another room and Kane & Helen found the phones and the teapot. Nhuc found a watering can, which didn't quite make it into the shot :P
SUCH a great weekend. Loads more to come! Let me know if anyone would like behind the scenes etc :)

Just so you know.
But I also despise shitty uploads. So...while I'm on the train........

Thank you guys so much! I finally got a photo listed in Explore! And it was #27! I'll try to keep good ones coming, but it seems this one sucked up all my inspiration...oops...
I had an idea for a this picture in my head, but i just couldn't get it to turn out right.
It's not one of my favorites, but I'm still deciding... I love this :)
Very much inspired by Kane Longden's photography.

East window of the south chapel depicting the Nativity / Epiphany flanked by St James and St John. Designed by former Kempe pupil Herbert Bryans and installed c1906.
St James's church at Longdon stands one the south eastern fringe of the village, hidden away from the road behind a lushly wooded churchyard and somewhat overshadowed on approach by tall trees. Behind them a handsome red sandstone edifice is revealed with a tall 15th century west tower, 14th century chancel and a late medieval south transept/chapel (built by John Stoneywell, Abbot of Pershore). On the other side of the church a much larger north transept grows like an over-sized limb from the north side having been added in 1870. However despite all these later additions a substantial part of the 12th century Norman church still remains, which is much more apparent within.
The south doorway (itself Norman) brings the visitor into the nave where the focal point of the interior is the fine Romanesque chancel arch, a fine example of Norman carving with its distinctive chevron moldings. The church is surprisingly light and spacious, due in part to the eastern walls of the nave having been cut away for the south chapel and north transept (a handsome early 16th century arcade to the former, a slightly disconcerting yawning gap marking the latter!). The chancel beyond is dark and mysterious, largely due to the Victorian glass in its windows though some substantial fragments of original 14th century glass remain in the windows flanking the altar. At the west end is an intriguing font, with a Norman tub resting on a 13th century foliate capital (reputed to have come from Lichfield). There is further notable glass at the west end by Camm's and a striking more recent work in the transept.
Longdon church was happily open and welcoming when I called and is a joy to explore, an unusual church with much of interest to reward the visitor.
Remarkable, primitive insects. Surprisingly large, at about 20mm long.
Dilta hibernica is a good visual match, and the most widespread inland species (but still very local), but microscopic examination is required to be sure.
The first one I've ever seen, though we found several in the Wyre, where they are apparently quite common.

Rakewood Viaduct carries the M62 Motorway over Rakewood Valley and Longden End Brook between junctions 21 & 22 at Littleborough, Greater Manchester England.

EXPLORE # 7
One of the larger Micro Ladybirds, at about 3mm long, and in this country at least one of the most distinctive with its pair of large, red spots (abroad it gets more complicated). This female lacks the red face & front edge of the pronotum of the male. She has found a lump of something indeterminate in my beating tray & decided it was tasty!

My little brother. :) another in the comments.
I took this near my grampas house in a corn field. My Grampa said it was badly composed :| Then again, he also has an imaginary girlfriend so what ever :)
I got tagggedddd.

1.I can ramble about my cats in German for ages, ask me about anything else though and im stumped. :) Unless you want me to sing the German fish song? :D
2.My last names Lionheart, my middle name is Oak. :) Now dont stalk me please? haha
3.I once wrote a poem for my English homework about how I hate buses, twas rather good if i do say so myself. ;)
4.Im a born pessimist. But actually for a pessimist I like to think I'm pretty darn optimistic...any of this making sense to you?

From now on I'll be posting about people on flickr you just can't miss and must MUST visit their photostreams. These are people who inspire me and basically leave me spellbound with their work. I'll be doing this every now and then focusing on one person at a time.
Hadn't done this in a while so I thought it was about time. The twenty-seventh person I am posting about is the young and super talented photographer , Kane Longden. His photographs are a real dream; amazing, full of wonderful tones and intriguing. This is definitely someone you shouldn't miss when visiting photostreams. His work takes my breath away every time. I dont know what more I could say but this, you must MUST visit his photostream! :D

Lyth Hill, with its panoramic views of the Shropshire Hills, sweeps us through time. To the east, near Bomere Pool, was the kettlehole where the remains of woolly mammoths were discovered. The road that runs east west along the bottom of the hill was known as Salter’s Way in the Middle Ages. It is likely that the Romans went this way, with pack horses, from Viroconium at Wroxeter, carrying Cheshire mined salt to pay the Stiperstones lead miners.
The 18th century saw stage coaches travelling up the hill on the turnpiked toll road from Bayston Hill. We travel the rough track; described useless in 1821 when the turnpikes were removed. Passing by where ropes were once made, and the remains of the old windmill, we follow the bridleway past Spring Coppice and downhill. Here deer are now farmed, where once they were hunted.
Old tracks and quiet lanes take us to the Vinnals. In spring, primroses clothe the banks of the hedged lane south of the ford, and you could be a million miles from the hustle and bustle of the modern world, with maybe an owl silently watching you. Past The Gorse, a small remnant of the Royal Hunting Forest, the route follows what remains of a once old hedged lane, past old coal pits, and along a wooded brook side path to Longden Common.

This cake was for Clive's surprise 60th birthday party! - Here he is in his rather well tended to vegetable garden!
I was getting rather stressed making this cake! - I very nearly decided to deliver a plain white cake and in true 'the Emperor’s clothes style' say it WAS a garden... but it snowed!.
I was stressed - not least because as I prepared to decorate it my husband decided that now was the time to give the cat his worming pill! - Great sense of timing husbands have! - So, me being a nurse!?! was asked to help! - I mean yes, I do give 4 year olds their pre-school booster immunisations, but hey, 4 year olds don't have teeth and claws! (well most don't!).
4 year olds cannot give you the look of sheer horror as they are held tightly with a chunky finger of DH being rammed down their throat either!
I could feel my blood pressure rising and almost steam coming out of my ears by the time we retreaved the pill from the floor for the 3rd time, so I gave up and let the cat go.
I mashed the now very sticky tablet into a paste and hid it in some cooked chicken chunks.
I sat and hand fed some unadulterated chicken to the somewhat terrified cat whilst sat under the dining room table with him. Just as I thought I had lulled him into a false sense of security I made a bid for completion of 'operation worm' by handing him the poison chalice! - yes the piece of chicken laced with no doubt some foul tasting anti-worm medication.
Well, I was spotted - it was unceremoniously spat back at me ... undaunted I offered another piece of chicken, a nice one this time.... and what did I get for my trouble?! - a side swipe from a front paw -and an 'if you think I'm taking poisoned poultry from you, you can think again' look.
Undeterred I offered another piece of chicken - and got side swiped again - bearing in mind I'm still sat under the dining table with the cat!....
... I decide to make a cup of tea and call in reinforcements....
DH comes back in ... I head upstairs to get the secret weapon...
.... My cat (Beaker) has always been fascinated with bags and boxes only marginally big enough to house him ... so I knew he wouldn't resist getting into an empty rucksack.... 3,2,1.... Yep he got in.
I zipped it up.
It wriggled A LOT!. (I wondered if the saying you have to be cruel to be kind was coined for this very occasion…)
I unzipped it slightly until a head popped though the opening.
I zipped it shut again! - so just a head stuck out! - I glanced at my DH - by now we had both seen the funny side of our predicament and casting hilarity aside got on with the job in hand...
Ah-ha - we now had a rucksack, albeit a squirming rucksack, this one has teeth but no claws!.
I took the top jaw, DH took the bottom jaw, and we opened inserted tablet and most of DH's fist! - and hurrah! - tablet was delivered!! ....
... At least we think it was. I will no doubt find it in days to come somewhere in the lounge…
… Never again will I look upon a parent with scorn as they attempt to hold their squirming 4 year old still for me to stick a needle in its arm!.
Beaker is going to the vets for his next worming tablet! … no amount of nursing qualifications will tempt me to try the impossible again!
(anyone noticing the writing style will know I am the biggest fan of Deric Longden!!) LOL!
Brighton, East Sussex
History
The Grand Hotel was designed by architect John Whichcord Jr., and built in 1864 on the site occupied previously by the West Battery at Artillery Place, one of Brighton's 18th-century coastal fortifications. It was built for members of the upper classes visiting Brighton and Hove and remains one of the most expensive hotels in the city. Among its advanced engineering features at the time was the "Ascending Omnibus", a hydraulically-powered lift powered by cisterns in the roof. This was the first lift built in the United Kingdom outside London, at a time when only two others had been installed. The building itself is an example of Italian influence in Victorian architecture.
The 1984 bombing
The hotel was bombed by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) in the early morning of 12 October 1984, in an attempt to assassinate Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher during the Conservative Party conference. The bomb exploded at 2:51am. It had been hidden three weeks earlier behind the bath panel of room 629.
Thatcher survived the bombing, but five other people were killed in the attack, including Roberta Wakeham, wife of the government's Chief Whip John Wakeham, and the Conservative MP Sir Anthony Berry. Norman Tebbit, a member of the Cabinet, was injured, along with his wife Margaret, who was left paralysed. Thatcher insisted that the conference open on time the next day and made her speech as planned in defiance of the bombers, a gesture which won widespread approval across the political spectrum.
The hotel was re-opened on 28 August 1986. The re-inauguration was attended by Thatcher who spoke at a reception to celebrate the reopening. Tebbit accompanied her during the reopening. Concorde flew low from the south to salute the opening.
Later history
The hotel belonged to the De Vere Group, beginning in the 1990s De Vere Hotels undertook a multimillion-pound refurbishment of The Grand which was completed in 2013. Another refurbishment project concluded in 2019.
On 15 October 2011, the Grand Hotel was inducted into the Brighton Walk of Fame and is only the third structure in Brighton to be recognised by the Walk of Fame committee. The hotel has hosted many famous guests, including ABBA who partied in the appropriately named first-floor Napoleon Suite following their 1974 Eurovision Song Contest win with their performance of 'Waterloo'. Other famous faces who have performed in The Grand Brighton's Empress Suite include singer Jessie J, Rizzle Kicks, The Saturdays, Elbow and Sugababes.
De Vere Hotels sold the Grand in 2014 to Wittington Investments for £50 million. This company in turn sold the hotel to Leonardo Hotels, part of the Fattal Group, in February 2023.
Facilities
There are 201 rooms in the hotel, including 8 singles, 115 standard twin and standard double rooms, 31 sea-view twin and sea-view double rooms, 42 "sea-view deluxe" rooms and 4 sea-view suites, including the "Presidential Suite". It offers bespoke conferencing facilities for up to 1,000 guests. The Empress Suite, is the country's largest sea-facing conference suite and has the capacity to hold 1,000 guests. It is commonly used as a matrimonial venue for weddings, along with the hotel's Regent room (a former Victorian library) and first-floor suites.
The Grand Brighton hotel is also home to Cyan restaurant and bar, an all-day dining spot which still features original 155-year-old marble pillars around its central bar area.
Film and television appearances
Amongst many appearances in television and film, the Grand Hotel was visited by the Trotter family in 1992, in an episode of the BBC Television comedy Only Fools and Horses entitled "Mother Nature's Son". The hotel has also been featured in ITV's Coronation Street.
The hotel was the subject of the documentary The Grand written and presented by Robert Longden for Southern Television. The hotel also featured in the film Quadrophenia where Sting's character "the Ace Face" was the bellboy.
