Here's another shot of the lil bunnies I saw last weekend....for part 2 of Happy Furry Friday..:O))
Oh...and after six weeks the saga of the Sigma 70-300mm long lens has been sorted....believe it or not, they told me they couldn't fix it, as there were parts that were needed that they couldn't get!!!
Sooooooooooo they gave me a new one....but when I went to pick up the new one this afternoon, they also gave me back the old one!!
Which I thought was OK...as although the auto focus wasn't working, it still worked on manual, so I thought it would be good to have as another back up or something...:O)))
Hoooooooooooowever...when I tried it out...guess what...It's fixed!!!!!!!! How that happened, Lord only knows!!!, not that I'm going to complain..lol
Soooooooo now from not having any long lenses, I have only gone and blinking got three...ROTFLMAO...:o))))
Now I have to work out how to use three at the same time...I now have 2 Sigma 70-300mm and one Tamron 70-300mm lens...lol
Anyhoo....I hope you all have a wonderful weekend...:O)))
Need new name, I am not diggin' Zola... Now "Sachi" ( thanks Cat) my sweet baby Abyssinian 15 weeks old!

2nd attempt at 10 stopping but I honestly don't think I have the patience....I do like the effect though....
Oh my do I need a holiday or what?
Actually i need a lot of things at the moment that would make this world slightly less anoying.
Dont worry thats not a cry for help i am just fed up hearing nothing but bad news on the news, Why can't we inform the population ofthe good things that happen because i am sure they do happen. Maybe if the news was a good mix of informative really need to know and light hearted good news them maybe we would all be so darn angry all the time.
Just a thought.
At least I have this little haven in my life to help chase away the grey clouds .
It's 10 days away from the contest due date, I need more entries to be submitted. Remember, I only allow 2 entries and a maximum of 7 figs, no more than that.
Entry date expires on November 17. Do the best you can and good luck.
When Bruce and I set out on this photo outing, I had thought perhaps we'd simply see some beautiful fall color in Central Oregon. But winter has it's own idea. It chose to find us somewhere near Hoodoo, and so we decided to let it.

I still need to work on my poses. Seems a little awkward here.

Got this idea for a shot today that failed bigtime. Had to use high ISO and the face didn't get near as much light as I hoped.
Thied to fix it in photoshop, but one can only do so much with a dark noisy mess.
Well I though I'd share the result anyway. It also happen to be my first selfie ever, so I should probably be glad for all the detail loss :-)
PS. The electric effect is pretty much untouched by photoshop though.

Through the World Sleep Day the WASM tries to raise awareness of sleep disorders and their better understanding and preventability, and to reduce the burden of sleep problems on society that constitute a global epidemic and threaten health and quality of life for as much as 45% of the world's population. The World Sleep Day is held annually on the third Friday of March with the exception of the first World Sleep Day that was held on 14 March 2008. Events involving discussions, presentations of educational materials and exhibitions take place around the world and online.

Wikipedia: Palazzo Davanzati is a palace which houses the Museum of the Old Florentine House. Palazzo Davanzati was erected in the second half of the 14th century by the Davizzi family, who were wealthy members of the wool guild. In 1516 it was sold to the Bartolini and, later that century, to the Davanzati family, also rich merchants (1578), who held it until 1838. After the suicide of Carlo Davanzati, it was split into different quarters and modified. After escaping the numerous demolitions of 19th century Florence, it was bought by Elia Volpi, an antiquarian, who restored It in (his impression of) the original style. In 1910, Volpi opened the building as a private museum (Museo Privato della Casa Fiorentina Antica). The contents of this museum kept changing as Volpi sold the furniture at auctions, including a major one in 1916 in New York. In the 1920s, Egyptian antique dealers Vitale and Leopoldo Bengujat acquired the building and its contents. In 1951 it was purchased by the Italian state and kept open as a museum. By 1995 the museum needed to be closed for major restoration to keep the building from falling down. The museum was partially reopened in 2005 with the ground and first floors; by 2012 all the floors were open to visitors.

MY FRIEND BLUE SKY GAVE THIS PICTURES TO MY OTHER FRIEND, DQUINTINO AS A BDY PRESENT AND I'M HERE, TO OFFER IT TO HER, SINCE SHE LIVES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE UNIVERSE.
SO, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY DEIA.
O GENTE, ESTA FOTO NAO EH MINHA, GENTILMENTE CEDIDA POR BLUE SKY QUE PERDEU O GPS MAS QUE QUERIA DAR A FOTO PARA A ANIVERSARIANTE DE ONTEM, E COMO ELA VIVE MUITO LONGE, E ADORA ESTE LUGAR, ELA PEDIU ME PARA ENTREGAR O PRESENTE.
SO FIZ A EDICAO.
MAS A HISTORIA ABAIXO EH MINHA e da BUBBLE.
Senhas.
Eu acordei hoje mais cansado do que des-cansado...
É que fui acordado por um pesadelo,
Sonhei que estava desorientado, na perdição,
Diante do maior dos meus temores,
Que é perder todas as minhas senhas,
Todas elas, até mesmo as contra-senhas...
E assim, acordando me sentindo um "sem-senha" desacorçoado,
Que não enxergava mais o mundo do jeito simples cotidiano,
Destes dias calorentos, mais ainda leves, do verão nova-iorquino,
Mesmo sendo época de encontrar os amigos ao ar livre,
Como se fosse a infância voltando...
Acordei desesperado, gritando por socorro, no meio da madrugada.
Acordei até a mulher, coitada, neste meu doido devaneio.
Depois, já desperto, tomando meu café da manhã, ainda que cansado,
Mais calmo, lembrei que sonhara também de brincar de "pau de bosta", "queimada", "roba bandeira", de "pegador" e de "esconder".
(No sonho tudo era simples, a nostalgia fez parecer um delírio utópico deste saudosista de sua infância em sua hoje distante terra natal).
Sonhei com os pés descalços, de em uma perna só, feito Saci-Pererê,
A pular sobre a rua calcada calçada de pedras irregulares, brincando
Do sonhado desejo que o chão fosse de planos paralelepípedos,
Principalmente quando cansados os pés calejados, atravessava, aflito,
As irregulares vias seculares de minha cidade,
Que conseguia ser lenta e progressiva ao mesmo tempo,
Em pontos diferentes de sua geografia urbana.
A vantagem do calçamento irregular é que a molecada escutava ao longe
O barulho dos carros sacolejando suas molas,
O que dava tempo de parar de brincar,
Para deixar as rodas nervosas e apressadas passarem
Sobre nossos riscos e marcas de brincadeiras de "graça"...
Escutávamos também o "Mãe da rua" tentando nos agarrar
E era um pega pra lá, pega pra cá,
Eram cascudos, bicudos, chutes na canela.
Vocês se lembram do "garrafão"do "Mãe da Rua"?...
Não?.. Ah, depois mando receita...
Porque hoje o que me desassossega
É o pesadelo, de se tornar realidade,
E acabe doido feito o "Mãe da Rua" fora de controle....
Com o sumiço da minha memória, de todas as minhas senhas e até contra-senhas,
Nem"garrafão" para esquecer do esquecimento das senhas malditas.
Senhas malditas que me escravizam com um "lembra ou se arrebenta" até em pesadelos...
Senha pra entrar no Flickr, no Banco, Senha pra entrar no e-mail pessoal, do trabalho...
De antes de chegar no trabalho,
Ter que lembrar da senha do alarme para sair de casa, Senha pra abrir o computador, de abrir o programa financeiro, senha pra abrir o Gmail, hotmail, chinfrin-mail
Quem sabe, até São Pedro vá me exigir, senha pra talvez abrir a porta do céu, sentado diante do seu laptop divino,
Mesmo que o Painho já tenha me aprovado para o desfrute paradisíaco, mas sem senha eu não poderei entrar...
E não esqueça a senha para acessar os canais pagos da televisão,
A senha para abrir a a cancela do pedágio, para procriação, para a educação, para o me.com...
Também a senha para o site do leilão, pra vender pela internet, as senhas que uso só no trabalho...
E acima de tudo, as contra-senhas, a senha da senhas, de todas elas.
Não é à toa que eu fico doido, depois deste sonho doído
Que me fez acordar doidão de assustado,
E fez-me acordar a minha mulher... Tadinha da Sam...
Que não precisa ainda de senha para me dizer "Alraiti, beibi..."
Algum dia espero ter o código para a senha do cofre onde guardam o antidoto
Que servirá para neutralizar todos os venenos dos tempos modernos.
Porque hoje, acordei desesperado, apalpei minha mulher com medo
De que ela também tivesse sido modernizada
Obrigando-me, a antes de lhe dar o primeiro beijo do dia,
Soletrar uma senha para ela me sorrir e dizer "Bom dia"....
Queria voltar a enfrentar o "Mãe da rua",
Onde só os pés, murros e depois as risadas nos faziam insanos,
Quando senha era coisa de espião que passava na televisão preto-e-branco,
Em um tempo que chamavam de Guerra Fria cheio de chumbo grosso e espionagem
Quando tinha Agente 86 e outros heróis gringos
com telefones em sapatos (foi o pai dos celulares de bolso moderno).
E o que falar das câmeras pequenininhas
Que tiravam fotos que nem hoje conseguimos com as nossas, modernas, cheias de recursos...
(Por isso que se chama ficção, né gente!)...
Heróis criados nesta terra onde hoje eu sou também meio-gringo,
Onde todos os dias, fico emitindo senhas, senhas e mais senhas...
Se alguém tiver um método infalível de memorizar senhas, pode me enviar,
Porque preciso delas pra tudo por aqui
E sem ter certeza de dormir e acordar com eles na mente amanhã
Ando dormindo mal, acordando cansado, com medo de acordar de novo gritando
Feito gringo britânico (o povo que invadiu estes cantos e criou este país) e que depois fez o mundo e eu cantar:
"Help! I need somebody! Help!
I said Hallo and you said Goodbye!
Rolling passwords like stones,
Saying Goodbye when I said Hello!"
