This is a pic of some beads I use to make my own jewelry...
The other night I pulled these out to do this shoot (because I love these beads...they're glass beads) and when I saw the odd one...(the blue one) it reminded me of how I (and I'm sure you too) feel at times like the odd one out...whether amongst family, amongst friends or even in a crowd of strangers!
Be happy,be well always, my dear flickr buddies! :)

On a walk around Mona Vale September 2022 Christchurch New Zealand.
Mona Vale, with its homestead formerly known as Karewa, is a public park of 4 ha in the Christchurch suburb of Fendalton. The homestead and gate house are both listed as heritage buildings with Heritage New Zealand. Wikipedia
I thought it was time to start getting some shots of my new neighbourhood in Preston (Cambridge), Ontario. This is the old Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) Hall, which stands a block south of me on Duke Street. It housed both the Odd Fellows (male) and Rebekahs (female). It was founded in 1875 (I believe). I guess it's a sign of the changing times, but lodge membership has shrunk to such a degree that the members had to sell off the building about a year ago. It has been bought by an insurance agency, and is currently undergoing a retrofit. The workmen are replacing the old cornice. Glad to see that the building is being retained.
Here's a link to the IOOF website

when we were on hiddensee, i thought odd would be the happiest little creature alive. i mean, what else could he ask for: nature, peace, silence, the sea, the beach...
how wrong i was! the whole time he kept asking when his mommy would get there to meet us. he was really missing her so much. "If I never loved I never would have cried."
you won't believe this: odd kept telling me to step back for this picture, step further back and step even further back.. and right after i had pressed the shutter he actually JUMPED into the water! all i could do was scream "oh noooo! you can't swim odd!!" then i too jumped in there, got my pants and shoes soaked, but in the end i managed to save the little fellow.
The short answer to this odd photo is that you can just blame it on Mardi Gras, but let's think about this for a minute. Here, we have the old "Stars and Bars" Confederate battle flag from the American Civil War with the promise of another rise of Southern strength. Yet, right next to that flag, is the similar design, yet decked out in the traditional Mardi Gras colors of gold, purple, and green.
This marketing ploy seems to inadvertently set up a question of symbolism . . . can a display of decadence as a sort of religious purge of excesses to get back in touch with humility co-exist with a flag that has come to represent oppression to so many?
Leyland Fleetline 4946 had always stuck out like a sore thumb in its Lancashire United days due to it being numbered and registered out of sequence with the rest of the Fleetlines.
Its original number of 542 was isolated from everything else and it was the only bus to carry a WWH-T suffix registration.
A story I was told by someone 'in the know' claimed the mystery behind 542 was an over sight whilst the bus was in build at Northern Counties. At that time Lancashire United was a wholly owned subsidiary of Greater Manchester Transport and NC were building buses for both fleets. It transpires that this was actually a GMT vehicle but had been finished in LUT style orange and white. Rather than repaint the bus it was allocated to LUT and thus gained its out of sequence fleetnumber and registration mark. Following the 1981 fleet renumbering it became 6946, slotting after the last TWH-T and immediatley before the first of the YTE-V batch of Fleetlines. Renumbering to 4946 came in the early nineties so all numbers would fall in line with the call signs for a new radio system being fitted fleet wide.
The bus is posed for the camera at Atherton Depot when recently repainted into the new GMN livery in 1995.
Independent Order of Odd Fellow's building in Longmont Colorado. The IOOF still gather at this location. Probably the only old tile entrance left on Main Street in Longmont. They widened the sidewalk and poured the concrete right to the doors, so what ever was there is now gone. This survived because the tiled IOOF actually goes up a step.
I have 2 other tiled doorways in Colorado, specifically in Denver. I'll have to dig them out.

Some may think it's odd that 13 is my favorite number. It was my favorite number long before I found this mini 13-ball while on litter patrol with an Elderhostel group at the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge in Georgia. I took finding it as an omen. It's the only piece of litter that I have ever saved. When it's daylight, I'll go out and try to do a better job of recreating the scene. No sand in the Okefenokee, it's a swamp! Stay tuned. See below for new photo.

Two odd men out were acquired by Oxford South Midland from Yorkshire Traction in mid 1982. These were Leyland Leopard PSU3F/4R / Willowbrook 003 which were just over a year old. 47 (KET 161W) is seen at Gloucester Green in Oxford in January 1983 prior to working a journey on route 390 to London via Maidenhead.
Came across this odd building during a walk through some woodlands it was about halfway up a steep bank. It is difficult to judge how deep it goes into the ground looking inside it goes at least 3-4ft but has been filled with large stones.

I love this tree at Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville, Kentucky. I don't know what kind it is, it's one of the few that doesn't have an identity tag. The curve at the bottom touches the concrete and the limb to the left is just crazy.
It's a late-changer, as it still has a lot of leaves left on it. Nice trip through Cave Hill.
Well guys, I'm back from cuba! Sorry for the week of silence... but I'm back attempting to catch up on the bazillion shoots I have to process!!
Here's a shot from vancouver, another of my odder attempts at trying something a little different. Shot in available light. I was trying for fashion but apparently some people said it was freaky :| Thoughts?
Came accross this extremely random wall paint pattern and thought it would be great to frame a shot within it. Sister shot of this shot

Not sure if this is an abandoned residence or business. Actually, I'm not even sure if it is abandoned.
Better bigger.
