Mr. Turtle has a story to tell! Below the sea... think of all of the items.. that once were special to someone. Perhaps an earring lost when swimming on a late summer afternoon. Perhaps a nail from a sunken ship... or a coin fallen from the pocket of a man who jumped over the side of a boat to save a child. Or even... a jewel tossed from cruise ship after a lover's spat!
One never knows... what treasures are buried in the sand for only the sea creatures to find!
113 in 2013, #5 - One Word
1/365
When you only have one word to choose then choose wisely.
The Flickr Group "113 photos in 2013" sets 113 projects for participants to complete and one of these is titled "One Word".
The above is written on an old shoe box of my mums which contained photo's.
After Mum died and i inherited all the family photos seeing this writing stopped me in my tracks. As instantly recognisable to me as her voice the writing was not something i was expecting to see as i trawled through the photos. It was like hearing her voice again.
Mum clearly labelled the box as containing photos but returned to the box at a later date and thought that the label dd not convey the true contents of the box.
Family photo's are not just photo's, they are memories captured to be returned to over and over again.
So yes, when you only have one word, choose wisely and don't be afraid to go back and change it if it is not the right one. The fact that you have thought to change it can be pretty powerful.
I was moved when i first saw this word and I am moved again now writing this.
This is the first day of my 365 project (also my birthday) so as the project advances I will not be just taking photo's but recording memories of my 41st year.
Sent to me today - a gathering of friends and colleagues from DST at our holiday home in Vermont, near Hermanus. The Ewing family are there, Amanda Westcott, Jacqui and Yiayia Maria.
I really don't go out of my way looking for abandoned farms, they just appear. Today, I came across five (5) abandoned farms. This one's been abondoned for a very long time. Very sad :-(
Rows of tables serve as a reminder of the lively food court by Chelsea Market on the High Line. Even in the cool weather, though, the High Line is bustling with activity.
Having posted one of my semi-recent poems as a comment to another photo, I thought I'd upload a picture of its inspiration for my good friend Craig.
This painting was given to me by Mr. Ross Bockhuber, with whom I used to hang out quite a bit back in 2003. He'd stored it in his basement, which had flooded and warped the poor artwork badly.
Though Ross claimed he hated the piece, it sparked in me a sort of fairytale-like childhood memory, which, to tell you the truth, I'm not sure ever really happened.
The Poem
you, your brother, your aunt
and grandmother on a bank of sand.
the stars pop:
multiple dandelions from which all the colors subdue.
you and your brother draw warm July shapes in the wet, lapped, sand.
twenty years later you're dreaming of starfish.
you visit the dim city pet shops' aquatic units,
breaking eye contact with the shy seahorses,
or else pouring over fish tanks
where phantoms swim.
Memory Teddy Bears made from my mothers cloths. She passed away on Nov 28, 2018. Each great grandchild is getting one.
Looking back at my "memories", it seems that, every year for the past four years, we have been at Mainsgill Farm Shop, on the A66, on our way to and/or back from South Shields. And this year was no exception. But this time, it's emus, instead of camels and llamas. From a distance, a big fluffy ball of silky soft feathers...... but look at this one's feet and imagine the damage they could do if you got the wrong side of it!
This square was reserved for public use in the city's original survey and became the site of early church buildings. One hundred yards south of this point is a stone marking the site of the first Methodist Church erected in Georgia west of the Oconee River, in 1805. The earliest graves date from this period. Near the church site is a lot containing graves of legislators who died during legislative sessions in Milledgeville. None appear after 1845 when rail transportation became available. Those legislators who died in Milledgeville were: Senators, William W. Baker, Liberty Co., 1826; Nathaniel Bradford, Crawford Co., 1841; Robert Brown, Murray Co., 1838; Jonathan Lewis, Burke Co., 1834; George Galphin Nowlan, Effingham Co., 1816; Alexander M. Sanford, Bryan Co., 1843; James Thompson, Walker Co., 1840; and Representatives, John Bell, Decatur Co., 1827; Jacob Hentz, Baker Co., 1845; Aaron Jones, Lee Co., 1834; McLin Lunday, Screven Co., 1834; James Spalding, McIntosh Co., 1820; and Horatio Webb, Jackson Co., 1840.

I lined up the photo of my mother with the view finder at the top of the camera so that it was reflected through the lens at the front and then took the shot.
A picture is worth a thousand words, growing up in this house, there are so many I could tell, Look at the photo I have notes all around it.
This was My Childhood Home, My parents built this Home shortly after My twin Sisters were born in 1967, They owned it until 1991
I knocked on that front door all these years later, the current owner invited Me in and gave Me a tour around the house, I helped answer questions He had about the house.

Another summer has come and gone. This year felt like it went by extremely fast. Here's hoping you have a basket full of wonderful summer memories.
ABC of Midland Red Buses and Coaches, 2nd edition dated July 1949.
By this time Ian Allan were already well known for their railway spotters abcs and making their name on the road transport field too.
I clearly remember buying this particular example (from Daltons newsagents, in Soho Road, Handsworth) and, as can be seen, it has been well used since!
To look through it now (along with many others I still have) is a real memory trip with the then fleet list running from 857 (HA3779, a 35 seater QL type) to 3576 (MHA76, a 56 seater GD6 type) ... if only I could see either of them again!
