This spring I set out on a 10 state tour, and it just happens that Kansas, not by choice, was part of it. A few years back I got this idea that the Kyle would be great to go shoot sometime. Well here it is. I went the length of the railroad before finding a train. Unless you decided to live in Kansas I wouldn't suggest this a top priority.
Ryan Blaney would be the hard luck award recipient for the Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway after pitting at the end of the final pace lap (as seen in the photo above) and as all other cars took the green flag. Apparently a tire rub put him behind from the start and eventually caused him to hit the wall and finish the race (very early) in 38th position. Being a Ford driver and an old school style of driver, he was one I was looking forward to watching but didn't really get the chance...maybe next time!

Well if ladybugs represent good luck then we should be very lucky in this house! Late last week we were overtaken by ladybugs. You literally could not take a step on the front lawn without fear of stepping on one! Not sure where they came from but it only lasted a couple of days. Needless to say my son & I were out there snapping away with the cameras...to anyone driving by it must have looked pretty strange...2 people perched in the grass with cameras apparently photographing the lawn!
Thanks for looking & leaving your thoughts!
Have a wonderful day:)
Wish you all GOOD LUCK for the new week!

My daughter Sian came around for the evening and we started playing Rummikub. She won 3 rounds! Here we are at the start of the 3rd round. I thought my opening hand was a good one but I still lost.
My intention was to do a composite image for the P& PARP comp, but as 66113 Margam T.C. to Middlesbro' Dawson Ayrton pulled into the up loop at Lydney, one of the Paddington to Swansea diverts came down the line , there was no need too.

Omikuji
Omikuji (御御籤, 御神籤, or おみくじ) are random fortunes written on strips of paper at Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples in Japan.
The omikuji predicts the person's chances of his or her hopes coming true, of finding a good match, or generally matters of health, fortune, life, etc. When the prediction is bad, it is a custom to fold up the strip of paper and attach it to a pine tree in the temple grounds. A purported reason for this custom is a pun on the word for pine tree (松 matsu) and the verb 'to wait' (待つ matsu), the idea being that the bad luck will wait by the tree rather than attach itself to the bearer. In the event of the fortune being good, the bearer should keep it. Though nowadays, this custom seems more of a children's amusement, omikuji are available at most shrines, and remain one of the traditional activities related to shrine-going, if lesser.

I tried it, and I got a 'bad luck'. See note where I placed it.
Our new, almost black, kitten peering out of the window.

This was complete luck. I clicked the shutter just as the plane entered the frame. I really like this. My daughter was with me, and she couldn't figure out what I was all excited about, until she saw the shot on the LCD. Moments like these are what keep us shooting!
Luckily, the tomcat turned around, which cats like to do, and I was able to catch him after all.
After a few pictures I was happy to finally leave the place, because it wasn't pleasant with the crowding here !!

Je me suis vite habitué à l'idée brûler des tiges d'encens à la maison, d'autant plus que la fumée de celle-ci est supposée apporter Good Luck. #Macro #MacroMondays #Smoke

Many cultures consider Coccinellids lucky and have nursery rhymes or local names for the insects that reflect this. For instance, the Turkish name for the insect is uğur böceği, literally meaning good luck bug. In many countries, including Russia, Turkey, and Italy, the sight of a coccinellid is either a call to make a wish or a sign that a wish will soon be granted.
In Christian areas, Coccinellids are often associated with the Virgin Mary and the name that the insect bears in the various languages of Europe corresponds to this. Though historically many European languages referenced Freyja, the fertility goddess of Norse mythology, in the names, the Virgin Mary has now largely supplanted her, so that, for example, freyjuhœna (Old Norse) and Frouehenge have been changed into marihøne (Norwegian) and Marienkäfer (German), which corresponds with Our Lady's Bird.
Sometimes, the insect is referred to as belonging directly to God (Irish bóín Dé, Romanian vaca-Domnului, Polish boża krówka, all meaning "God's [little] cow").
In Dutch it is called lieveheersbeestje, meaning "little animal of our Good Lord".
In both Hebrew and Yiddish, it is called "Moshe Rabbenu's (i.e. Moses's) little cow" or "little horse", apparently an adaptation from Slavic languages. Occasionally, it is called "Little Messiah".
Yesterday our outside wall was full of Lady Bugs, as well as the Japanese kind which do not have the black heads with white dots. Hibernating for the winter. I don't know where they went, maybe into some cracks in the building exterior walls. Sometimes we get them inside but they don't survive well so I try not to have the windows or the balcony door open. These are the GOOD LUCK BUGS; they are the one and only bug I love.
My very precious miniature horseshoe, made by my great grandfather. Photographed on my hand, as Brian says hands are lucky too.
