Disney figurOf the two, Chip is portrayed as being safe, focused, and having a mind for logical scheming. Dale, by contrast, is more laid-back, dim-witted, and impulsive, and has a very strong sense of humor. Originally the two had a very similar appearance, but as a way to tell them apart, some differences were introduced: Chip has a small black nose and two centered protruding teeth, whereas Dale has a large dark red nose and a prominent gap between his buckteeth. Chip is also depicted as having smooth hair on top of his head while Dale's tends to be ruffled.en
The Doors a very important Rockband in the Sixties.Jim Morrison an exceptional and dazzling personality contributed to this.
A legendary band....spectacular performances, scandals and wonderful and unforgettably music distinguish them. 1971 Jim Morrison died at the age of 27 like many other legendary rock musicians.

The Dixie Cups - Chapel of Love
1964... #1 U S Billboard Hot 100 #1 Canada RPM Top Singles #22 UK Singles Chart.. This idyllic song about wedding joy was written by Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich, who got married the year before they wrote it. Barry wrote the lyrics with marriage on his mind, then Greenwich worked out the chord progression on a piano in their New York City apartment. Barry and Greenwich wrote this song for Phil Spector to produce. It was intended (appropriately) for Darlene Love, and she recorded the first version, with Spector producing as intended. He wasn't happy with this recording, so he tried it with The Ronettes, who a year earlier had their biggest hit with "Be My Baby," written by Barry and Greenwich..
How uncanny is this?! I just started this book earlier this week and went out in my backyard, literally, at about 3:00pm this afternoon, wondering what I was going to shoot for this week's theme, "Portray a book title." As I was walking around the yard and doing a bit of gardening, on the grass right in front of me was an empty and abandoned nest! Voila! I found my subject to shoot! By the way, very positive book and I am enjoying it...been an empty nester for quite awhile but need an uplifting boost once in awhile!

Had so much fun doing this !
Shortly before the theme was announced I discovered this little brass (?) pot in the basement and wondered if I could use it for a project. When I found out about the theme for this week, I thought it could surely serve as an oil lamp. I had in mind the same little book I used once before and watched a tutorial on how to put letters on subjects.
Now I should remind myself about the actual fairy tale, I must have read it very, very long ago.

“There is wisdom to be found in fairytales, a deeper meaning in the magic of their worlds”
― Suzy Davies
Agatha Christie
The title story of this collection formed the basis for the successful written The Mousetrap, which has been drawing full houses in London for sixty years in a row. The five other stories are less famous than the first, but no less exciting. And both the admirers of the famous Hercule Poirot and the slender old Miss Marple can indulge themselves

he Shadows, with Cliff Richard, dominated British popular music in the late 1950s and early 1960s in the years before the Beatles. The Shadows' number one hits included "Apache", "Kon-Tiki", "Wonderful Land", "Foot Tapper" and "Dance On!". Although these and most of their best-remembered hits were instrumentals, the group also recorded occasional vocal numbers, and hit the UK top ten with the group-sung "Don't Make My Baby Blue" in 1965. Four other vocal songs by the Shadows also made the UK charts. They disbanded in 1968, but reunited in the 1970s for further commercial success.

My best photos are here: www.lacerta-bilineata.com/ticino-best-photos-of-southern-...
My latest ANIMAL VIDEO (warning, it's a bit shocking): www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T2-Xszz7FI
You find a selection of my 80 BEST PHOTOS (mostly not yet on Flickr) here: www.lacerta-bilineata.com/western-green-lizard-lacerta-bi... (the website exists in ESPAÑOL, FRANÇAIS, ITALIANO, ENGLISH, DEUTSCH)
ABOUT THE PHOTO:
So this photo is a bit of a novelty for me - at least here on Flickr, but it's also a journey back in time in a sense. I've always loved b/w and sepia photography; already as a very young teenager I would go out into the woods with an old Pentax Spotmatic (which I had nicked from my father) whenever it was a foggy day to shoot b/w compositions of sunbeams cutting through the ghostlike trees.
I used films with a sensitivity of at least 1600 (for those of you who remember what that means 😉 ), and the resulting photos had an incredibly fine grain which I loved; I blew them up to the size of posters and hung them on the walls of my teenage man-cave next to Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Slash.
But then I abandoned photography altogether for 20 years, and when I finally picked up a camera again, it was one of the digital kind. Now neither film nor grain played any role in my photographic endeavours - let alone b/w compositions: because the reason I fell in love with shooting pictures once more was the rare and incredibly colorful lizard species that had chosen my garden as its habitat.
It's this species - the Lacerta bilineata aka the western green lizard - that my photo website www.lacerta-bilineata.com/ and also my Flickr gallery are dedicated to, but I've since expanded that theme a bit so that it now comprises the whole Lacerta bilineata habitat, which is to say my garden and its immediate surroundings and all the flora and fauna I find in it.
I like that my gallery and the website have this clear theme, because in order to rise to the challenge of portraying all aspects of a very specific little eco system (which also happens to be my home of sorts), it forces me to constantly explore it from fresh angles, and I keep discovering fascinating new motives as my photographic journey continues.
Which brings me to the horse pasture you see in this photo. This playground for happy horsies lies just outside my garden, and it normally only interests me insofar as my green reptile friends claim parts of it as their territory, and I very much prefer it to be horseless (which it thankfully often is).
Not that the horses bother the reptiles - the lizards don't mind them one bit, and I've even seen them jump from the safety of the fly honeysuckle shrub which the pasture borders on right between the deadly looking hooves of the horses to forage for snails, without any sign of fear or even respect.
No, the reason I have a very conflicted relationship with those horses is that they are mighty cute and that there's usually also foals. The sight of those beautiful, happy animals jumping around and frolicking (it's a huge pasture and you can tell the horses really love it) is irresistible: and that inevitably attracts what in the entire universe is known as the most destructive anti-matter and ultimate undoing of any nature photographer: other humans.
Unlike with the horses, the lizards ARE indeed very much bothered by specimens of loud, unpredictable Homo sapiens sapiens - which makes those (and by extension also the horses) the cryptonite of this here reptile photographer. It's not the horses' fault, I know that, but that doesn't change a thing. I'm just telling you how it is (and some of you might have read about the traumatic events I had to endure to get a particular photo - if not, read at your own risk here: www.flickr.com/photos/191055893@N07/51405389883/in/datepo... - which clearly demonstrated that even when it's entirely horseless, that pasture is still a threat for artistic endeavours).
But back to the photo. So one morning during my vacation back in May I got up quite early. It had rained all night, and now the fog was creeping up from the valley below to our village just as the sky cleared up and the morning sun started to shine through the trees.
And just as I did when I was a teenager I grabbed my camera and ran out to photograph this beautiful mood of ghostlike trees and sunbeams cutting through the mist. There had already been such a day a week earlier (which is when I took this photo: www.flickr.com/photos/191055893@N07/51543603732/in/datepo... ), but this time, the horses were also there.
Because of our slightly strained relationship I only took this one photo of them (I now wish I had taken more: talk about missed opportunities), and otherwise concentrated on the landscape. It was only later when I went through all the photos on my computer that I realized that I actually really liked those horses, even despite the whole composition being such a cliché. And I realized another thing: when I drained the photo of all the color, I liked it even better - because there was almost a bit of grain in it, like in the photos from my youth.
Since then I have experimented quite a bit with b/w and sepia compositions (some of which I will upload here eventually I guess), but this photo here is the first one that helped me rediscover my old passion. I hope you like it even though it builds quite a stark contrast with the rest of my tiny - and very colorful - gallery. But in the spirit of showing you the whole Lacerta bilineata habitat (and also in the spirit of expanding my gallery a bit beyond lizards and insects), I think it's not such a bad fit.
As always, many greetings to all of you, have a wonderful day and don't hesitate to let me know what you think 😊

Here you can listen to their song 'Black hole' . Enjoy ;-)
The lyrics of 'Black Hole"
I barely breathe, feel like a ghost
Dodging what I fear the most
Not dead yet, not alive either
Bouncing on the edge and waiting
Till it's over
I travel through time and space
The stray soul that'll be erased
I am not dead yet, not alive either
Bouncing on the edge and waiting
Till it's over
And the black hole
Pulling me towards itself
Where the heat goes up, matter accelerates
I slowly fall
Into an empty space
From the black hole
Not even light escapes
Here I am met by the void
Infinite loop to timeless droid
Not dead yet, not alive either
Bouncing on the edge and waiting
To be sucked in by the
Black hole
Pulling me toward itself
Where the heat goes up, matter accelerates
I slowly fall
Into an empty space
From the black hole
Not even light escapes
Swallowed by the void

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a pink or purple day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Smile on Saturday is portray the name of a music band.
And since I wanted to do a « floral » picture (since it is a pink or purple day) Guns N' Roses is my choice to portray.
I have to admit: except the name, my knowledge of Guns N' Roses and their music is very, very limited…or rather non existant. To tell the truth: I rarely remember the names of musical bands and I dont have a musical ear at all… But since I know the name Guns N’ Roses I figured that they’re must be someone else who knows it as well lol. Sorry for all Guns N’ Roses fans : I’m sure this is an awesome band but my taste in music is very, very basic (however I have others qualities !! Or so I hope …).
So here is my picture and I truly hope you will like it. The tiny gun belongs to my husband and it is a vintage cap gun.
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! Have a beautiful day and see you later!!
FYI: I have 2 garden parties this weekend (post-pandemic life lol) so:
1) wish me luck
2) I apologize for not answering your comments right away but I will catch up as soon as possible …
3) my diet and sobriety are doomed…
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !!

The Police were an English rock band formed in London in 1977. For most of their history the line-up consisted of primary songwriter Sting (lead vocals, bass guitar), Andy Summers (guitar) and Stewart Copeland (drums, percussion). The Police became globally popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Emerging in the British new wave scene, they played a style of rock influenced by punk, reggae, and jazz. (Wikipedia)
“Pânză de păianjen “ Cella Serghi
The charming account of becoming an accomplished young woman in spite of poverty, constant relocation and struggles to maintain appearence.
Inspired by the author's own life, it is real proof that the early years of one's life influences the way it is perceived later on, and the decision making process.
The title of the book refers to the main character's destiny, which she perceives as unescapable, and sees herself as an insect stuck on the spiderweb and can never escape it.
The portrait of the main character, Diana Slavu, is built up through the contrast between how her best friend Ilinca sees her and her own account of how she really feels and the motives behind her actions.
The book is worth a read for the captivating descriptions of Mangalia and Balcic in the 1920s-30s, when they were still just charming little villages, the locations of the two great romances of her youth.
"Cartes Postales from Greece" is a novel by Victoria Hislop, an English author.
“Week after week, the postcards arrive, addressed to a name Ellie does not know, with no return address, each signed with an initial: A. With their bright skies, blue seas and alluring images of Greece, these cartes postales brighten her life. After six months, to her disappointment, they cease. But the montage she has created on the wall of her flat has cast a spell. She must see this country for herself."
Later there was a TV adaptation of Victoria Hislop's book.
