On my walk one day, I ran into Mr. Reeves, a neighbor from down the road, on his bicycle. He is 80 years old and has survived cancer, heart attacks, and other physical ailments, over the years. We stood and talked about a lot of topics, from being a landowner to bicycles and nature, and from children to travel and health. Mr. Reeves never fails to ask me about my husband and my sons, whenever he sees me. That's how the discussion begins: "How's Angelo?" Angelo and Mr. Reeves are both cancer survivors. Plus, they are very much alike...soft spoken, kind, introspective, and funny. I asked permission to take his photo and he said, "Of course!" Then he warned me that not everyone wants their photograph taken. Then we discussed taking photographs. After about 30 minutes, he told me he had to get home to check on Margy, the love of his life! I'm crazy about his smile!
As Professor Bop has has noted, a town in CT, near New Haven was named after this photo..........................

Tonight, after work, I went to the opening of Nick Cave: The Exhibition at the Museum in Perth. So I was inspired to choose a song by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds to accompany this image for Sad Bokeh Friday and Shades of Yellow Friday.
Sorrow's child sits by the river
Sorrow's child hears not the water
Sorrow's child sits by the river
Sorrow's child hears not the water
And just when it seems as though
You've got strength enough to stand
Sorrow's child all weak and strange
Stands waiting at your hand
Sorrow's child steps in the water
Sorrow's child you follow after
Sorrow's child wades in deeper
Sorrow's child invites you under
And just when you thought as though
All your tears were wept and done
Sorrow's child grieves not what has passed
But all the past still yet to come
Sorrow's child sits by the water
Sorrow's child your arms enfold her
Sorrow's child you're loathe to befriend her
Sorrow's child but in sorrow surrender
And just when is seems as though
All your tears were at an end
Sorrow's child lifts up her hand
And she brings it down again

Marsa Alam (o Marsà ‘Alam, in arabo مرسى علم) è stato fino a pochi anni fa un piccolo villaggio di pescatori situato in Egitto, sulla costa ovest del Mar Rosso.
Negli ultimi anni, a seguito dell'apertura dell'aeroporto internazionale (codice ICAO: HEMA, codice IATA: RMF) nel 2001, è cresciuto rapidamente fino a divenire una popolare destinazione turistica, come lo sono già Sharm el Sheikh e Hurghada.
Marsa Alam è situata in prossimità del Tropico del Cancro, dove il Mar Rosso incontra il deserto del Sahara, e si presenta ricca di palmeti e mangrovie, con un mare ricco di pesce per via della presenza della barriera corallina. Quest'ultima è molto rinomata tra i subacquei per via dei molti siti d'immersione ancora incontaminati, in cui si possono incontrare facilmente delfini (del genere stenella rostrata), dugongo e squali martello.

Marsa Alam (Arabic: مرسى علم‎) is a town in south-eastern Egypt, on the west coast of the Red Sea. It is currently seeing increasing popularity as a tourist destination and development including the opening of Marsa Alam Airport in 2001.
Marsa Alam is situated near the Tropic of Cancer where the Arabian Desert meets the Red Sea, and it has the appearance of a tropical paradise with its palm trees, mangroves and sea coasts fringed with barrier coral reefs. It has already gained a strong reputation amongst scuba divers due to its numerous and unspoilt diving sites both along the coast and offshore. Sightings of spinner dolphins, dugongs and hammerhead sharks are a frequent occurrence for those who venture into its waters.

This is a shot from last year's garden. I was experimenting with several filters in Photoshop. This year the squash plants were not producing. It seems that rabbits like to eat squash blossoms. I saved one plant - had to cage it up. Nineteen plants however went into the mulch pile. Those cute little varmints like basil as well.
This little one comes to the feeder for Sunflower Seeds, but loves to show up when I sprinkle mixed seeds on the ground in the garden. This one visited late one afternoon while I was lying on my hammock enjoying the day!
The latest installment of my "Process with Me" eBook is now available.
In this edition we look at re-processing old files with new skills and new software. We'll be removing noise from a really noisy file using Topaz Denoise AI, Sharpening an out of focus shot using Topaz AI, and re-processing a really old file to get the most of it.

For this week's Pretty Pink Tuesday theme: Pinktopia, this is a photo I took when I got home from work yesterday. The colour of the sky was amazing but I didn't have a clear view of it what with all the power lines in the street. I was twisting myself in knots to get a clear view until I recalled recent photos I've admired by the very talented and lovely mistybliss, and then I decided to focus on the power pole rather than try to avoid it.
The pink of the sky is pretty much as it was, but I overlaid a photo of silvery flare and bokeh that I took yesterday morning [blend mode: overlay, 50% opacity] to add to the textural and tonal interest.
Then, in search of inspiration for a title or a song, I googled 'Pinktopia' and found this entry in Urban Dictionary
A secret society currently under construction. A popular tourist destination. Has a superior military force and advanced nuclear technology. Lead by esteemed dictator and expected to conquer the universe at some point in the near future. The quote fitted my rather Orwellian vision of Suburban Pinktopia. So I added it as text in Picnik.
Besides the birdhouses we have created and distributed around the woods, we have some bird pairs who do not care for prebuilt homes and who never give up. At the edge of our cleared land, we put together what we call a "Garage in a Box". It has metal poles for structure, but is covered in a strong, green on the outside and white on the inside, tarp with roll down doors on both ends. We keep the tractor and some of my gardening items in there. For the past three years, a pair of Eastern Phoebes have begun building a nest inside, only to have my husband chase them away so he would not disturb them later in the season. They have returned this year. They chose the side of the structure to build their lovely nest on for this spring, and my husband did not have the will this year to chase them away since they seem determined to use this tarp garage as their home. I love the way they use mud to build the base and attach it to the pole and the tarp, and I'm crazy for the moss they have left hanging as a decoration! We see that they have used lots of the coconut grass we leave around the yard from old hanging planters. What an amazing structure within the "Garage in a Box".

All this time I was wasting
Hoping you would come around
I’ve been giving out chances everytime
And all you do is let me down
Double treat: I have seen many F16s, F15s do side by side landing but this was unusual. MX A320 descended on glideslope from 3500 AGL for Rwy 24R while CX 744 did same from 2200 AGL for Left side. Cathay 744 was told to hold 170 kts steady so MX can land just a bit ahead. And the result was perfect approach with spectacular results.
And in a flash........ she is gone!!

OK - So this started out as a simple "Down to Earth" go out in the back yard and take a picture of the horse fence. Now, I know it's not Sunday but somtimes I just don't know what happens and then I find a smile and that's that. I've debated for the last four hours to post or file and move on. I decided to post for Fence Friday - Hope everyone has a great weekend/Holiday!
Happy Fence Friday!!
