This is one of my faves this one i took this

yesterday and i must say that it was a hot

day that one and the snakes were out

in force again god i hate snakes i have been

doing a hell of a lot of portraits of late and i must

say i am enjoying every second of it i could never

do this sort of stuff in london even though i want too

but its too much hassle and i no i would get a lot of grief

from some of the people there.i do hope that you are not getting

too bored with all of the portraits and i hope that you like them

as much as i do.i wish you all well and kind regards to you all.

Love isn't a decision, it's a feeling. If we could decide who to love, then, life would be much simpler, but then less magical.

Red-winged Blackbird

Present throughout Canada during the nesting period, the Red-winged Blackbird nests in all the southern regions of Quebec and the Maritimes, and increasingly spends its winters in the northern United States. It prefers to settle in open and humid places, such as ditches, reed mace marshes and stream or river banks, but will also nest in drier terrain, in pasture and cultivated fields. Its diet varies with the seasons, but it feeds mainly on insects and cultivated seeds, including corn. Besides, it is a menace for farmers who find their fields ravaged by this bird. But in spite of everything, it still does them some great services, such as attacking the insects that destroy their newly-planted crops. The Red-winged Blackbird reaches 19 to 26 cm in length.

O è il riflesso della luna o sei proprio bella, se vuoi siediti!

hai parcheggiato e camminato non sai quanto non sai dove sei, ma sei qui

lontana da te, lontana da voi, lontana da uno specchio che non dice chi sei

se sotto il cielo c'è qualcosa di speciale passerà di qui prima o poi

prima o poi, comunque tu lo sai ......

OLTREPÒ PAVESE un territorio a forma di grappolo. Oltrepò Pavese già Vecchio Piemonte è l'area territoriale meridionale più grande della Provincia di Pavia che si spinge fino ai monti, formando un cuneo tra le Province di Alessandria e Piacenza. Al di là del Po, si estende per circa 70 km a sud della sponda destra del fiume da oriente a occidente e verso sud è montuosa.

 

Dal fiume si allontana per quindici miglia circa fino a raggiungere a est il territorio di Piacenza, mentre a ovest è delimitata dai territori di Tortona, Alessandria e del Monferrato al di là del Tanaro.

  

Ha una superficie complessiva di 109.815 ettari ed è costituita da pianure, colline e montagne. La zona collinare raggiunge i 300 metri di altitudine, costellata di castelli, con una piacevole varietà e ricchezza di paesaggi. La viticoltura occupa principalmente la zona collinare, i cui fianchi sono fittamente solcati da filari di viti, disposti secondo le curve di livello e secondo la massima pendenza con una vegetazione rigogliosa e grappoli opulenti. Su tutta la linea di colli che sovrastano il Po nella pianura della Via Emilia, sorgono i 78 comuni oltrepadani con cittadine, paesi rurali e castelli, fra campi e vigneti dove si coltivano le varietà di vitigni che danno i vini tipici e pregiati dell'Oltrepò Pavese, onore e vanto di questa generosa terra.

So this Diorama spawned because of the last one I built. This was done simply because I felt the tiny diorama needed a friend. I had so much fun building the tank, I'm very proud of it! I actually totally forgot to put an Aayla Secura Figure in this Diorama (I currently have one on the way that I just bought, so it'll be here real soon and I'll post an updated photo of the MOC with her in it)

The tree design on this MOC was very different for me, used a lot of SNOT and Mixel Joints and I think the design is really cool, it needs to be played with more but I figured I'd test it in this built and expand on things later :)

 

Next up is another Bionicle, then another Clone Wars MOC, Just the one though, there won't be 'Five' of them, but they will 'Echo' some of my favourite episodes (WINK WINK)

'for His purpose'

 

"6 'I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, 7 to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.'"

{Isaiah 42:6-7}

 

Here is the last piece of my Guardian series! God will guide us into his mission - through his light we may see. As this young man ventures into Africa, he will be following this glorious light and bring other onto it. To find a love like no other.

I was tagged by my pal saintinexile. The idea of talking about myself seems sort of creepy :D, but here it goes...

 

1. I am a Witch.

2. I am of 100% Italian descent.

3. I am a Leo.

4. My definition of a fun day is walking for miles on end while observing nature.

5. I do not feel that humans are superior to animals.

6. I believe that all life is of equal importance and that we are here for different reasons.

7. I believe in the spiritual world.

8. I am very loyal.

9. I am ambidextrous.

10. I am extremely orderly and sometimes think that I would have been good in the military.

11. I am a perfectionist and this causes me to be too hard on myself.

12. My personality traits often contradict each other, therefore, people usually can't figure me out.

13. I enjoy reading horror and mystery/crime novels.

14. I love horror and independent foreign film.

15. The 70's is my favorite musical era.

16. I have clairvoyant/psychic abilities, e.g., the other day, I had a feeling that I was going to get tagged.

CATALÀ: Safrà bord

Habita en prats i, més rarament, també en boscos caducifolis humits entre els 1.400 i 2.300 m d'altitud. Floreix a la tardor (setembre-novembre) tot just després d'una bona pluja. És extraordinàriament resistent al fred i no és rar veure-la florida al mig de les primeres neus.

VIQUIPÈDIA

 

ENGLISH:

Crocus nudiflorus is a species of flowering plant in the genus Crocus of the family Iridaceae. They are dwarf, deciduous perennials found from southwestern France to Spain. They have been cultivated since Tudor times in Britain, where they are now naturalized.

WIKIPEDIA

 

FRANÇAISE:

Crocus nudiflorus, le Crocus à fleurs nues ou Crocus d'automne, est une plante vivace de la famille des iridacées. Il se caractérise, comme l'indique son nom, par le fait que les fleurs apparaissent en automne et les feuilles seulement au printemps.

WIKIPEDIA

 

CASTELLÀ:

Es una planta con un comportamiento atípico. En otoño, cuando la inmensa mayoría de las especies vegetales han completado su ciclo reproductivo anual y se preparan para sobrevivir al próximo invierno, el Crocus nudiflorus comienza su floración.

Finestre vuote

 

( a mio figlio A. )

 

Penso ogni volta che, dopo la telefonata,

respirerai profondo, ti volterai

guardandole dal vero quelle finestre vuote

che mi hai descritto parlandomi del tempo

 

che fa lì da te in rue Castéx. Ma poi la piccola

cicatrizzata scatola del cuore

scommetterei che sanguina di un filo appena,

vorrai concederti due passi ancora nel quartiere

che non sarà mai tuo. Ma sta’ tranquillo:

qui la primavera muore di sonnolenza nei giardini

e le fotografie non le cambiamo mai.

The shot was taken in the early morning hours before sunrise at Punggol. When light was low and long exposure yielded this smooth effect of the water. No filter was applied and the blue tone truely compliments the blue hour at dawn.

 

Almost same shot from same location after sunrise

 

This is freshly baked shot, one long exposure of 10 secs to flatten the water and another exposure of 5 secs for the sky. Exif is not 100% correct here. As per editing is concerned nothing done except playing with its curves and bit sharpness.

WHAT IS EXPLORE?

"Explore is a Flickr feature with the intent of showing you 'some of the most awesome photos on Flickr.' Photos are automatically selected by computer according to a secret algorithm called Interestingness. The top 500 photos ranked by Interestingness are shown in Explore.

 

Flickr has stated that many factors go into calculating Interestingness: a photo's tags, how many groups the photo is in, views, favorites, where click-throughs are coming from, who comments on a photo and when, and more. The velocity of any of those components is a key factor. For example, getting 20 comments in an hour counts much higher than getting 20 comments in a week.

 

Is Explore a showcase for the top Flickr photographers? No. It's for photo viewers, not the photographers. It exists so that, at any moment, anyone who wants to view interesting photos can go to Explore and have a reasonable chance of seeing something interesting.

 

Does that imply that photographs not in Explore are uninteresting? Of course not. Many wonderful photos are uploaded to Flickr each day not selected for Explore. But, to serve its purpose, Explore only includes a small sampling of all of the photos on Flickr, showing photos from many different people to create a diverse selection."

there is something about this that i like

 

urgh, i have to stop playing with my photos and go to bed!

tonight kate, alex, tom and i made dinner and took it on a picnic to my green hill, it was raining and there was lightning and such but that made it more perfect.

we watched the fireworks from the show while on the hill,

and then decided to drive to the show and try to get in

but they wouldn't let us in for free (even though it was closing in like half an hour anyway)

so i poked my camera through the fence and took some photos

 

most of this night we spoke in scottish accents...... i dont know why.. aha

Cuando uno rememora los cuentos de hadas, las historias que de pequeño solía escucharlas de boca de nuestros padres, o de nuestros abuelos, siempre nos viene a la memoria el escenario en el que se desarrollaban en nuestra imaginación. Un bosque sombrío, húmedo y lleno de grandes árboles, llenaba de misterio y curiosidad las peripecias de Pulgarcito, de Hensel y Gretel, de la Bella Durmiente o de Caperucita Roja. Estos bosques, cuando uno se hace mayor, dejan de existir en nuestra imaginación y parece que se esfuman de nuestra conciencia como un azucarillo en el cafe. Parajes como este, (El castañar de El Tiemblo) nos ayudan a recordar que estos bosques todavía existen, y que tienen una capacidad de sugerencia y evocación suficiente para imaginar el desarrollo de mil y una historias, a cual más fantástica y atrayente. En cualquier época del año es recomendable visitar el bosque, pero hay que reconocer que es en Otoño cuando despliega toda su fuerza, especialmente por el contraste cromático de los castaños con los sotos de robles, servales, acebos y pinos de la zona.

Fastnet Rock (Irish: An Charraig Aonair, meaning Rock of Solitude or Lonesome Rock) is a small clay-slate island with quartz veins and the most southerly point of Ireland, 6.5 km southwest of Cape Clear Island (Oileán Chléire) in County Cork, which is itself 13 km (8 miles) from the mainland. It lies in the Atlantic Ocean 11.3 km south of mainland County Cork, at latitude 51.37°N. It rises to about 30 m above low water mark. Study of the documentary record suggests that the name is from Old Norse Hvastann-ey 'sharp tooth island'.

 

Divided into Fastnet Rock proper and the much smaller Little Fastnet to the south by a 10 m (30 ft) wide channel, it also had the nickname 'Ireland's Teardrop' as it was the last part of the country seen by Irish emigrants to the United States in the 19th century as they sailed past it.

FASTNET ROCK

 

I write a logbook in this lighthouse,

Autumn waning, winter coming

Wind from the North

Gelid blowing;

Sun cloud-shadowed,

shortening days.

ships wave battered,

ploughing ocean,

And every night

migrant birds calling.

Spindrift sprayed.

The tower windows;

A time of change

That's my log.

Finally felt good enough to walk to the neighborhood park early this morning. And, as always, I had my camera in tow. It is amazing how I always come away from these early morning walks with deeper appreciation of things familiar - the sun rising over my neighborhood, the silhouettes of trees and rooftops, the ever elusive birds chirping about, the morning dew on the grass. I collect these memories and if I'm lucky, I capture some of them just as I see it. Here's one for sharing -- a moment filled with magic.

 

I hope you all are enjoying the 4th! And enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Tengo muchas fotografías de Zas mirando a través de la ventana. Y siempre que lo veo en esa situación, la tentación de buscar la cámara y fotografiarlo me asalta. No me canso de hacer siempre la misma foto. Se abstrae. Se va. Se marcha lejos, muy lejos. Sin moverse de la silla a la que se sube para aproximarse a los cristales. No le importa el hecho de no contemplar la calle en toda su intensidad.

 

Sé que anhela lo que no tiene... A fin de cuentas, no nos diferenciamos tanto.

El primer documento que hay de la iglesia es del siglo X y aparece con el antiguo nombre de Buc, que después fue cambiado por el actual. En 1032 aparece ya como Sant Andreu y como parroquia. Fue transformada y después mutilada. En 1976, fue restaurada y devuelta a su estado primitivo. Es un edificio de planta basilical de tres naves, cubiertas con bóvedas de cañón y cabeceadas por tres ábsides semicirculares. La nave central es más alta que las laterales, lo cual hace que el ábside central tenga mayor dimensión que las absidiolas laterales. Este ábside central está iluminado por tres ventanas, mientras que los laterales solo tienen una y más pequeñas que las del ábside central. Destaca su decoración lombarda que ocupa los dos muros, la fachada de poniente y también la cabecera. Un friso de arquerías lombardas entre lesenas decora el ábside central, las absidiolas laterales están decoradas solo con un friso de arquerías ciegas. Un friso de arquerías ciegas bajo el alero, decora los muros de las naves laterales y los de la central que sobresalen de los tejados.En la fachada de poniente, si bien ha sido modificada por la puerta moderna y un campanario de época posterior encima, también podemos observar resiguiendo los vertientes de la cubierta un friso de arquerías ciegas. La puerta original estaba en el muro sur, pero hoy está tapiada; pese a ello se aprecia su sencillez, con un arco de medio punto adovelado. En el muro norte hay otra puerta, tapiada, con un arco de medio punto adovelado. El portal actual de acceso es moderno y se abre a la fachada oeste.

A ria de Aveiro estende-se, pelo interior, paralelamente ao mar, numa distância de 45 quilómetros e com uma largura máxima de onze quilómetros, no sentido Este-Oeste, desde Ovar até Mira.

A Ria é o resultado do recuo do mar, com a formação de cordões litorais que, a partir do século XVI, formaram uma laguna que constitui um dos mais importantes e belos acidentes hidrográficos da costa portuguesa.

Abarca onze mil hectares, dos quais seis mil estão permanentemente alagados, desdobra-se em quatro importantes canais ramificados em esteiros que circundam um sem número de ilhas e ilhotes. Nela desaguam o rio Vouga, o Antuã, o Boco e o Fontão, tendo como única comunicação com o mar um canal que corta o cordão litoral entre a Barra e S. Jacinto, permitindo o acesso ao Porto de Aveiro, de embarcações de grande calado.

Rica em peixes e aves aquáticas, possui grandes planos de água, locais de eleição para a prática de todos os desportos náuticos. Ainda que tenha vindo a perder, de ano para ano, a importância que já teve na economia aveirense, a produção de sal, utilizando técnicas milenares, é, ainda, uma das actividades tradicionais mais características de Aveiro.

The Aveiro Lagoon (Ria de Aveiro) is a coastal lagoon in Portugal. It is located on the Atlantic coast of Portugal, south the municipalitiy of Espinho and north of Mira (to the north of the Cape Mondego). Its average area covers approximately 75 km². It is named after the city of Aveiro, which is the chief urban centre located nearby the lagoon. Other urban centres near the Ria de Aveiro are Ílhavo, Gafanha da Nazaré, Estarreja, Ovar and Esmoriz. Some beaches nearby include those of Barra, Costa Nova, Torreira, Vagueira, Furadouro, Cortegaça and Praia de Mira. There are also beaches in the São Jacinto Peninsula.

     

Better seen LARGE On Black

 

This tiny mosquito which is around 2-3mm long is more challenging to shoot than the jumping spiders because it keeps on flying from one leaf to another. Here I shot him under a leaf where he thought to be a safe place to hide.

This was taken with the 18-55mm reversed lens and a new DYI diffuser. Sometimes it is not practical to use the DYI diffuser that I made last time coz it´s too big and scares the insects. About the lenses, I still prefer to use the 18-55mm than the 28mm or 50mm prime lens because it´s easier to focus and adjust to get the necessary magnification.

Believe me, large is better

Well what can I say. I remember taking this at the festival last year - I don't particularly remember taking many of the others. A couple of hundred give or take - found their way on to my CF card, most not very memorable, but as I said this one I remember - and I'll tell you why.

You know when someone gives you a double take when you do something a little bit right of center, that inquisitive look that asks" did you really just do what I think you did" Well that's what I remember most about this - the look the missus gave me.

On reflection I don't, no let me correct that and say - I know it wasn't the fact that I had taken the shot of this young lady doing her thing in the 17th century that caused Liz to fire that warning glance across my bows. It was me acting all churlish and sheepish because I had taken the shot and thought that I'd got caught doing so, that's what caused the look.

If I live to be a hundred and thirty..........................

View On Black

 

I don't think I can say who inspired me this, because it's kind of cliche..but you can say it's inspired by this amazing girl ;)

 

I edited this in picnik. I never did that before..and I never knew Picnik was so helpful :DD It totally help me tone down the sharp blue-ness background I had before!!

 

I STILL HAVEN'T STARTED STUDYING YET. D:

Gotta stop procrastinating......

 

I think I'll do tags here (:

 

1. Exams starts in 2 weeks!!!

2. I'm moving on from that guy. It's not worth waiting for a guy who avoided me for exactly 10 months. Moving to a new country means less connection, but I never thought he'll be avoiding me like this. I'll be in the same place as him next month. I doubt he'll be finding me anyway. Screw that promise of his about taking me everywhere after I come back, don't think that'll happen :/

3. I loove Bruno Marss <3

4. I use to love Taylor Swift. Well I still do, but she sings about stuff that well...frankly I think she sings too much about her life, like how she's the victim of whatever relationship she was in..I like her old songs when she really sings from her heart which I can actually relate to...

5. TEAM JUMBA IN AMAZING RACE. nuff said. <3 I support Mallory and Gary too ;) They're awesome! By the way did you guys see the latest episode? The bear in the race and Michael's reaction made me lol'd XDDD

6. David Choi. WongFuProductions. NigaHiga. YOUTUBE x)) They're my 3 favourites :DD (Nooo not because they're all asian, because they have amazing talents which I like :D)

7. Planning a getaway on an island in Hong Kong in early Jan with my friends :D

8. I cry myself to sleep sometimes. Not anymore but used to :s

9. I finally feel slightly at home here with my classmates, feeling less distant with them. But we have only 2 more weeks and we'll probably never see each other again (they want to change university..)

10. I want a new camera. My brother said he'll buy one for me for my birthday, but...I don't think he will :( I don't have a job either...D:

 

I stillllll have 2 more tags to do. But they're things I like tag, so I'll do one after exam and then do another one once I get back to Hong Kong, so it's like things I like in Aussie and things I like in Hongkie hahaha ;D

 

Those tagged...just want to say I love you all for supporting my stream by leaving comments/favorites/views here!! I'm sorry if I forgot anyone :o
