Managed to focus through the reeds on this pair of Mute Swans awaiting the pitter patter of tiny flippers!
Managed to grab an hour in London with my Flickr friend Mani - (www.flickr.com/photos/maniya) Had a good catch up chat and a bit of food too! Then a bit of mutual posing on and off his bike (Yamaha FZS600 Fazer) before he headed off home! Nice to see you Mani! :)

New dolly purchase today! Managed to find some of these cuties. The Toys 'R Us I went to had the stashed up on the very top shelf so they weren't easy to find.
I really bought them to strip for my DaLs. They've got a lot of clothes and a lot of pieces I felt were pretty versatile.
I'll still strip them, but I'm finding their actually pretty nice little dolls. Of course, there are some issues like the fact that they're not as poseable as you would think (hands can't touch their mouths which is odd) and the brunette here has a lot of product in her hair to keep the hairdo. But they seem to be pretty decent quality. Uncertain whether or not I find the eyes pretty or creepy. LOL! I think both, really. I actually like the blonde best. She's got some really adorable freckles that just endear her to me for some reason. ^_^
There's one more in this set, but I didn't like her outfits so I didn't buy her. :p

Managed to get out and take a few photographs last week with Jason. We went to some amazing rocks - I literally didn't believe they were natural, but it turns out they are. 130m year old sandstone. And crazy trees. And us. And two of the best cameras in the world! :)

The Ueno Zoo (恩賜上野動物園 Onshi Ueno Dōbutsuen?) is a zoo, managed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and located in Taito, Tokyo, Japan. It is Japan's oldest and most famous zoo, opened on March 20, 1882. It is a five-minute walk from the Park Exit of Ueno Station, with convenient access from Tokyo's public-transportation network. The Ueno Zoo Monorail, the first monorail in the country, connects the eastern and western parts of the grounds.
The zoo is located within Ueno Park, a large urban park that is home to several museums, a small amusement park, and other attractions.
As of March, 2003, the zoo has 422 species. The Sumatran tiger, and western lowland gorilla head the list of the zoo's population. Ueno has most variety of species on exhibition than any other zoo in Japan.
At some point, redistribution of the animals among Tokyo's other zoos (including Tama Zoo and Inokashira Nature Park) left Ueno without a lion. However, in response to public demand, Ueno borrowed a female from the Yokohama Municipal Zoo
As of 2008, recent animals at the Ueno Zoo included:
Giant panda (Ling Ling, Ueno's only giant panda, died of chronic heart failure on April 30, 2008, leaving Ueno Zoo without a panda for the first time since 1972.)[1] China has agreed to lend a male and female to Ueno[2].
A Lesser panda (also known as the Red Panda)
Other animals have included the Sumatran tiger the Asiatic lion, the Western lowland gorilla, the Polar bear, the Asian elephant, the Reticulated Giraffe. and the White rhinoceros
[edit]Other animals
The zoo is also often home to zebras, Japanese macaques, red-crowned cranes, White-tailed eagles and King Penguins, along with goats, sheep, pigs, ostriches, and rabbits.

Warren, Connecticut. Our cat, "The Kitty" turned 17 today and given what this cat has been through as a "professional cat" living to 17 is akin to one of us living to 100. Here's the back story I wrote on The Kitty on her 16th birthday.
The Kitty has had arthritis for a few years and it's hard for her to get around like she used to but she still manages to get worked up over her catnip mice. She survived feline diabetes (in remission), has gone a year with hyperthyroidism, under control now with a "transdermal" application of medication (on her ear tips), and lately her kidneys are giving out which may eventually get the better of her.
I decided not to waste a can of tuna on her, finally remembering that she's never liked it, ever. Tonight I'll give her a small bowl of milk and a warm lap to jump up on, made warm from the near nuclear heat of this MacBook Pro.
So Kitty, Anne and I wish you another happy birthday, we're glad you were born and even more glad that you made it into our lives.

Sunday night we went to see our lovely and so talented friends Smooth Operator playing in Hedon.
We went for delicious food at the Camerton pub beforehand and even managed dessert before heading to see the gig.
Helen (the singer in Smooth Operator) even borrowed my Orinoco womble to wear while she was singing Wombling Merry Christmas, ha ha!

The Maison Losseau is an Art Nouveau private house located in Mons, Belgium. Dating from the 18th century, it was renovated in Art Nouveau style in the early 1900s at the request of Léon Losseau by Paul Saintenoy. It is listed on the list of the exceptional heritage site of Wallonia and since 2015 houses a center for the interpretation of Léon Losseau's collections and regional literature. The house is located at number 37 rue de Nimy in Mons, next to the courthouse.
The neoclassical façade is covered with a white coating. The entrance door is detached, consisting of black cast iron columns decorated with golden leaves (1908) and fuchsia flowers of the same color.The house has very refined details. Each piece has a flower theme.The lobby has for example the theme of pink and orchid. A canopy with wooden beams overlooks the living room, which was decorated in 1911 by 15 pâte de verres of Amalric Walter representing the Belfry of Thuin and the river Sambre.
The facade, the roof and the interior of the house are classified as heritage monuments on the list of the exceptional heritage sites of Wallonia. Since 19 April 1982, the facade and the roofs are classified as heritage while the interior of the house was classified in 21 November 1983. In 2015, after a project launched in the early 2010s in anticipation of Mons 2015, a renovation began in 2011, the house reopened to the public in 2015. It houses a center for the interpretation of Léon Losseau's collections and a center for regional literature.
The original house was built in the eighteenth century. It was acquired in 1873 by Charles Losseau, the father of Léon Losseau.
Glass roof in the living room. Glass and wooden beams, stylization of rosebushes and orchids. (Daum 1905)
It was completely renovated by Paul Saintenoy who was contacted in 1899 by Léon Losseau, lawyer, bibliophile, photographer and art patron. The finishing works were entrusted to Parisian architects Henri Sauvage and Charles Sarazin and continued by the Brussels architect Louis Sauvage. Paul Saintenoy began its work in 1900 and completed it in 1904, while the majority of decorations were made between 1905 and 1912. The renovation that ended in 1913 included the addition of electricity, central heating and an elevator. Once the renovation was completed, it became the first private house in Mons equipped with electricity and central heating.
During his life, Léon Losseau accumulated more than 100,000 books in his private library, mostly devoted to politics, but also to literature and poetry. A foundation was created in 1952 to manage his legacy.

I managed to get a nice look at these sexy monsters yesterday while trying out some of Ford's future products at their brand-new test facility in Dearborn. The yellow one is a prototype GT with alot of tweaks and styling details, as well as a big screw-type blower. The blue one is a 2007 Shelby Cobra Convertible. If you look closely you will see Mr Shelby sitting in the passenger seat of the blue car!
How to Manage Inactive Subscribers – Without Hitting Delete Let me ask you a question: What do you think is the most prevalent fear email marketers face today? Not being able to get people to subscribe? Or maybe that they are boring people to death with their emails? For me, it is the fear that I’m putting in all this hard work into something that people ignore. I’m talking about open email rates here. I spend hours or days writing up something I feel excited about only to find it not connecting with my list. My stomach drops every time I notice a significant decrease in people I’ve managed The post How to Manage Inactive Subscribers – Without Hitting Delete appeared first on PAC. from PAC ift.tt/1VnZVnW via Article Source ift.tt/eA8V8J PAC April 14, 2016 at 06:25PM
Italy. Florence (Firenze).
Piazza del Duomo.
The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore (English, "Basilica of Saint Mary of the Flower") is the main church of Florence, Italy. Il Duomo di Firenze, as it is ordinarily called, was begun in 1296 in the Gothic style to the design of Arnolfo di Cambio and completed structurally in 1436 with the dome engineered by Filippo Brunelleschi. The exterior of the basilica is faced with polychrome marble panels in various shades of green and pink bordered by white and has an elaborate 19th-century Gothic Revival façade by Emilio De Fabris.
Grand Duke Cosimo I de' Medici decided to have the dome painted with a representation of The Last Judgment. This enormous work, 3,600 metres² (38 750 ft²) of painted surface, was started in 1568 by Giorgio Vasari and Federico Zuccari and would last till 1579. The upper portion, near the lantern, representing The 24 Elders of Apoc. 4 was finished by Vasari before his death in 1574. Federico Zuccari and a number of collaborators, such as Domenico Cresti, finished the other portions: (from top to bottom) Choirs of Angels; Christ, Mary and Saints; Virtues, Gifts of the Holy Spirit and Beatitudes; and at the bottom of the cuppola: Capital Sins and Hell. These frescoes are considered Zuccari's greatest work. But the quality of the work is uneven because of the input of different artists and the different techniques. Vasari had used true fresco, while Zuccari had painted in secco. During the restoration work ended in 1995, the entire pictorial cycle of the The Last Judgment was photographed with specially designed equipment and all the information collected in a catalogue. All the restoration information along with reconstructed images of the frescos were stored and managed in the Thesaurus Florentinus computer system.
Opened 9 Dec 1900 on land donated by Mr & Mrs William Gould on Garrett Ave, vestry at rear 1908, became Uniting 1977, closed & removed to Tailem Town Pioneer Village.
“Wolseley. . . the new Methodist Church is completed; the trustees are taking down the old one with the object of having it disposed of by auction.” [Narracoorte Herald 11 Dec 1900]
“Friday last was an eventful day here. First, because we assembled at the Railway Station to greet the returning soldiers pass through. After the train had steamed away a sale by auction was held of the materials of the old Methodist Church; and then we had the choice of going to a bazaar in aid of the new Church, which was opened by Mr. J. Lambert.” [Naracoorte Herald 18 Dec 1900]
“Wolseley. . . The anniversary services of the Methodist Church were held on Sunday and Monday last. . . A vestry had been added to the church this year, also acetylene gas had been installed throughout the church also ten new seats have been given by members of the Trust.” [Border Chronicle 11 Dec 1908]
“Wolseley Methodist Church continued Jubilee celebrations last night with a banquet and concert, presided over by Mr H K. Ridgway in the absence of the Rev. I. Moulton. An historical review of the church's activities since 1901, when the church was built, was given by the secretary Mr. D. G Butler. Other speakers were Messrs. A G Butler and H Milne. A Jubilee cake, made by Mrs D G Butler, was topped by a replica of the church.” [Advertiser 7 Dec 1951]
WOLSELEY WESLEYAN CHURCH
Opened 27 Jul 1884 as church & Sunday School, wood & iron, rented to government as day school until Aug 1892, demolished & materials sold Sep 1900 when new Methodist church built.
“Efforts were being made to buy land and build a church at Wolseley, which it was proposed to use as a public school until a school-house was built.” [Border Watch 27 Feb 1884]
“"Considering how weak numerically the people of Wolseley are it is surprising that they manage to keep two churches open. The Church of England – which by the way looks all the better for the painting it recently received at the hands of some of its supporters — is open every Sunday afternoon, a clergyman doing duty one Sunday in the month and a lay reader taking the remaining services. Mr. A. Crossley attends at the Wesleyan Church more frequently than once a month, and usually has good congregations. One or other of the circuit local preachers take the intervening services.” [Narracoorte Herald 5 May 1885]
“At Wolseley the anniversary of the Wesleyan Church was celebrated on Sunday and Monday, 11th, and 12th inst. Rev. J. H. Stafford, from Kaniva, Victoria, preached on Sunday. The usual tea was held on Monday, but the terrible state of the roads prevented a large attendance.” [Yorke’s Peninsula Advertiser 23 Jul 1886]
“An effort is being made to induce the Education Department to erect public school at Wolseley, The school at present la held in the Wesleyan Church, a small wooden building, and which is too small and hot for the children during the summer months,” Border Watch 23 Nov 1887]
“Wolseley owes its existence to the railway, and were natural conditions allowed to take their course uninterfered with would now be a place of more importance than it is. Wolseley was founded as the result of private enterprise, In November, 1888. after the railway from Custon to Border Town was completed, it was laid out and sold, by a private gentlemen, and the public confidence in its future was shown by the fact that nearly all the allotments were disposed of at a good price,” [Border Watch 17 Dec 1887]
“at once commence the erection of the State school at Wolseley, which was promised some months ago, and which is more necessary now because the building temporarily hired by the department is not large enough to accommodate the children who wish to attend.” [Chronicle 23 Jan 1892]
“The new public school at Wolseley was opened on August 30th. There has evidently been some mismanagement at headquarters with regard to this school, as seating accommodation is provided for only thirty-six scholars, while the number at present on the roll is fifty-seven, and it is expected that this number will be augmented when fine weather sets in.” [Millicent Times 17 Sep 1892]
“Synod . . . Methodist Church . . . Permission was given to the authorities of the Border Town Circuit to erect a new church at Wolseley, and to sell the material of the old church.” [Chronicle 10 Nov 1900]
In my short photo career I had only managed to get winter shots of these Loons, so it was nice to finally get an opportunity to shoot one in their wonderful summer colors. Captured this moment in the Coquitlam River, as it winds through Colony Farm in Coquitlam. This bird did not want its picture taken. As I came up to it from behind its direction of travel, it would dive, swim an incredibly long distance, before surfacing, and be completely out of range, even for the 600 mm. After a few cycles of this pattern, and in order to get the sun behind my back in relation to the bird, I decided to run like hell the next time it dove, to get ahead of the bird, so that it would swim towards me. After a few tries of this strategy it finally worked, and with the lighting in my favor, and the bird swimming towards me, I managed to get a few decent shots in. I love how the sun is reflecting off the drops of water on the loons head. Quite an effect.
Managed to get the new 100W solar panel set up the day before the build. It's kinda jerry rigged, but it works...
