i might have accidentally gotten a week behind on this project, oops. my garden has grown heaps since it was attacked by the gardeners so i got some ideas flowing. this was more of an experiment than anything but it's better than nothing. thank you for everything <3
altered book. i added my thoughts with red thread. Friedrich Nietzsche "Aphorisms on love and hate", Penguin Classics.
turns out i'm pretty hopeless at 365 projects!
but my boyfriend says he still loves me anyway.
(to be fair i have been taking a picture each day, they were just totally uninspiring so i didn't upload.)
"There is a calmness to a life lived in gratitude, a quiet joy."
Ralph H. Blum
Sometimes I get so wrapped up in the smaller parts of life that I end up taking for granted the things that I have, the things that make me happy, the things that happen everyday that put a smile on my face.
I'm grateful that my bedroom window overlooks the Rocky Mountains, for a job that I enjoy going to everyday, for the inspiration that I get from the world around me. Most of all I'm grateful for the freedom I have to wake up and live my life exactly as I want to.

Explore is nice. It is. But please don't leave a comment here just so I can come check out your photos or your sparkly-icon club. If you like this picture, thank you. If you're just self-promoting, no thank you.
For the 30-Day Challenge — June 2011
Day Six: From a Low Angle
I think people are interpreting this challenge differently, ignoring the "angle" part; that is, they are shooting things that are low to the ground, but their cameras are pointed at it from above. Or they're just shooting low things. My interpretation is that you put your camera down low and angle it up a little. Hence the power lines in the background. OK, whatever.
BTW, I titled this because the heads look like little notes on the power-line musical staff.
You have to be a little careful wearing a short pleated skirt on a windy day (is that a wolf whistle I hear?). It does feel wonderful when the wind blows one's skirt up. I'm a bit of a joker, I hope this gives you a little smile.
Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen's monumental sculpture Bottle of Notes soars nearly thirty-five feet and is the first public sculpture in the United Kingdom by these two internationally renowned artists.
Bottle of Notes is inspired by the history of Captain Cook, born in Middlesbrough featuring words from his logs as well as poetry built from tempered-steel echoing Middlesbrough's industrial heritage and continuing the legacy of the town's Ironmasters.

First of the Class 254 High Speed Trains, 254001, with power car E43057 leading, opens up as it departs Doncaster for London King's Cross on 8th June 1979.
HSTs had been on the East Coast Main Line for just under a year and still provided some fascination for spotters, including this one here, although like me, he may have begun to realise the mighty Deltics' days were now numbered.
The power car is in original condition and has yet to receive the rooftop smoke deflectors which were eventually fitted to the class.

Don't let the only picture you take of an event be directly into the sun, or you may have to resort to tricks like this. Monson Bike Show and Swap Meet.
The result of an experiment one night.
More musical stuff over here. (You can also go buy this image, if you want).
