Sometimes I don't know how this girl puts up with me. I make her go out in the cold with no coat. Lol
As is often the case, he has a better handle on situations than I do. The camera was put away and much fun followed. We slid down some hills. Had a warm breakfast. Walked around. Filled in the fire-pit. Explored a snow cave. Breathed the fresh mountain air. Packed up our camping gear. And were home by afternoon.
Our first outdoor trip of 2013. Hopefully there will be many more. If only I could get him to like hiking uphill as much as I do! (proof again that he has more common sense than me)
"Now the time has come
The music's between us
Though the night seems young
Is at an end
Only change will bring
You out of the darkness
In this moment everything is born again
Reach up for the sunrise
Put your hands into the big sky
You can touch the sunrise
Feel the new day enter your life..."
"You can reach the Sunrise"

I visited Peterhead Fishing Harbour Sunday 24th February 2019, a heavy Haar put my plans to capture the views a little difficult, hence I revisited today Tuesday 26th February 2019, posting a few of the captures I managed to take over both days.
Peterhead ; Scottish Gaelic: Ceann Phàdraig, Scots: Peterheid is a town in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is Aberdeenshire's biggest settlement (the city of Aberdeen itself not being a part of the district), with a population of 18,537 at the 2011 Census.
Peterhead sits at the easternmost point in mainland Scotland. It is often referred to as The Blue Toun (locally spelt as "The Bloo Toon") and people who were born there as Blue Touners (locally spelt as "Bloo Tooners").
More correctly they are called blue mogginers (locally spelt as "Bloomogganners"), supposedly from the blue worsted moggins or stockings that the fishermen originally wore.
History
Peterhead was founded by fishermen and was developed as a planned settlement. In 1593 the construction of Peterhead's first harbour, Port Henry, encouraged the growth of Peterhead as a fishing port and established a base for trade.
Peterhead was a Jacobite supporting town in the Jacobite risings of 1715 and 1745. In particular, it was one of the Episcopalian north-eastern ports where reinforcements, plus money and equipment, were periodically landed from France during the Forty-Five.
A lifeboat station was first established in 1865.
Since early times Peterhead has received a portion of its water supply from Morris Wells.
Peterhead convict prison was opened in 1888, gaining a reputation as one of Scotland's toughest prisons.
The present harbour has two massive breakwaters, enclosing an area of approximately 300 acres in Peterhead bay. The south breakwater, about 2700 ft long, was constructed in 1892–1912 using convict labour from the prison. The north breakwater, constructed 1912–56, is approximately 1500 ft long.
A new phase of growth was initiated in the 1970s with Peterhead becoming a major oil industry service centre, and the completion of the nearby St Fergus gas terminal. At this time, considerable land holdings were allocated for industrial development.
In recent times, the town has suffered from several high-profile company closures and is facing a number of pressures, including Common Fisheries Policy reforms. However, it retains a relatively diverse economy, including food processing, textiles, service industries and, still importantly, fishing. (Over 90,000 tonnes of fish, with a value of around £60m are now landed at Peterhead, which is still also base to over 550 fishermen.)
The Peterhead Port Authority plans to extend the northern breakwater as a stimulus to the town's economic development. In addition, to assist with business diversification and town centre environmental improvements, the 'Peterhead Project' initiative under the Aberdeenshire Towns Partnership brings together the Council, Scottish Enterprise Grampian, Communities Scotland, commerce and community representatives.
Until April 2005, the Royal Air Force station RAF Buchan was located near the town.
Local government : Peterhead is the largest settlement in Buchan, a committee area of Aberdeenshire.
The town was a burgh in the historic county of Aberdeenshire. In 1930 it became a small burgh under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1929, but in 1975 small burghs were abolished and Peterhead became part of the district of Banff and Buchan within the new Grampian Region. When districts and regions were abolished in 1996, Peterhead became part of the new unitary authority of Aberdeenshire.
Since 1975 Peterhead has had a community council, with limited powers.
Education : Peterhead Academy
Peterhead Academy houses around 1,300 pupils and the school is split into six houses (Arbuthnot, Buchan, Craigewan, Grange, Marischal and Slains), with all the names associated with areas of the town. The school has pupils coming from surrounding villages such as Boddam, Cruden Bay, Hatton, Inverugie, Rora, St Fergus and Crimond. The academy's motto is "Domus Super Petram Aedificata" (A House Built on a Rock). The academy is Scotland's largest school at over 22,920 square metres (246,700 sq ft) of gross internal floor area.
The school has multiple subjects such as ICT, English, French/German, Technical, Engineering, Art, Home Economics, and many more.
Primary and specialist schools.
Peterhead has six primary schools (Clerkhill, Buchanhaven, Meethill, Dales Park, Central, Burnhaven).
There is one special school, Anna Ritchie, which caters for most specific learning difficulties, autism and other disabilities.
There is also Peterhead Alpha School which caters for children with social, emotional, and behavioural difficulties, as well as learning difficulties, e.g. dyspraxia and dyslexia.
Transport :Peterhead has a number of in-town and out-of-town bus services.
Peterhead is further from a railway station (32 miles from Aberdeen) than any other town of its size in Great Britain.
The town once had two stations Peterhead railway station and Peterhead Docks railway station. Passenger trains on the Formartine and Buchan Railway stopped in 1965 under the Beeching Axe, and freight in 1970. The start of reconstruction of the Borders Railway to Galashiels (early 2013) has begun a local political debate into the possibility of reopening the line from Aberdeen to Fraserburgh and Peterhead.
The nearest airport with scheduled services is Aberdeen Airport. A heliport has been set up at the Eastern end of the former RAF Buchan air base. Recreational aviation also takes place from a part of a former runway.
Tourism
The harbours, maritime and built heritage are the town's principal tourism assets. Recent initiatives include investments in the Peterhead Bay area, which have included the berthing of cruise ships in the harbour.
A number of projects are planned under the auspices of the Peterhead Project initiative, including tourism strategy development, enhancement of existing attractions, measures to improve the town's physical attractiveness, and improved marketing and promotion.
Sport
Peterhead F.C. are a Scottish Football League club who play in the League One. They won the League Two championship in 2013–14.
Peterhead also has a successful amateur boxing club, and in 2008 was the most successful boxing club in Northern Scotland. And currently has two reigning Scottish champions. The boxing gym is open to all and located in Ellis Street.
Peterhead RFC are a Scottish Rugby Union team who play at the Lord Catto playing fields.
Maritime Economy
Peterhead has a thriving port, serving the fishing, oil and gas and other commercial industries. It also receives many visiting seafarers arriving on ships that ply these trades. Seafarers' welfare organisation Apostleship of the Sea has a port chaplain at Peterhead to provide pastoral and practical support to them.

Following the success of the 2 first "Imaginary moments" posters
I put on sell a third creation. As all the other posters sold on Harmonie intérieure, it is a limited edition of 100 copies, hand numbered printed on 250g paper.
And as a good news never come alone, I propose you a special offer : buy 2 "Imaginary moments" posters and get the 3td free (same size).
This collection of posters are exclusive creation based on Frédérique, my wife, water color works. The imaginary moments is this special moment where you are what you create, or whatever surround you do not exist and you are one with the creation... I put it large to let you see the details (that you can also see at the home page of my personal site www.fabienbarral.com)
I put a drinking glass into a small water-filled aquarium. Then, with a syringe, I let some drops of light blue ink fall into the water, right above the drinking glass. It diffused slowly, creating all these delicate shapes.
It gave me a hard time to take some photos in the right time and angles, because, as usual, I had not prepared the tripod and everything thoroughly...
and I didn't have enough light, so there's too much noise in the picture.
I'd be glad to see what someone else could achieve with this recipe!
If I put on these glasses, will I see through your eyes?
Feel the wonder you felt when you watched summer skies
Change to shades of sweet purple, and, amber, and, blue?
When I look in the mirror, will I see me, or, you?
There’s a magique I feel when hand touches this frame
Can’t be captured, recorded, or, given a name
And, the sadness I feel, could it be the same
As the sadness you felt when your little one passed
Will I feel the frustration as you tried to grasp
The meaning of all as the shadow was cast
And life changed forever, and, the pain will it last
Or melt into nothingness, empty and cold
When I look through these glasses will my heart grow old
See the lines on your face, a sad story told
Will I see me through your eyes?
The glasses, and the watch, belonged to the man in the photos, my great grandfather Hoffman. My grandmother's dad. Born in the 1870's, he was still alive in my childhood, and I knew him as "Pappy". His dad was born in 1822, and served in the U.S. Civil War. By all accounts, Pappy was a peaceful, religious man. I often feel a connexion to him, and through him, to my great-great grandfather. He had three daughters, and a son. The youngest daughter died age 10, during the Spanish Influenza epidemic of the early 20th century. She was sick one morning, and didn't go to school. Three days later, she was dead. The loss was very hard for the family. My grandmother often spoke of her sister.
Color Splash: The Brevard Zoo in Melbourne, Florida. The vast majority of my photos are taken in the wild. This photo, however, was taken at the zoo.
To put it simply: Hannah came to town, I made her laugh.
I may have also let her punch me.
And convinced her to move to Los Angeles.
And talked up my favorite Mexican restaurant, maybe even saying it was better than the food she'd had in Mexico.
I also made a few jokes about the dudes hanging around the park in their rusty old vans.
I also showed her the river, soothed a savage hobo with my whistling and held her hand.
Oh so many ways to make the ladies smile.
Recently I've been missing the special peacefulness of being inside a painting as it unfolds. So this afternoon I put on my painting mumu (compliments of my dear mama), grabbed a painting knife, and went to town. I'm delighted, to be painting again, and by the intriguing textures and layers of color you can get with that painting knife. Yum!

I’m going to put it out there – the LM is the most beautiful of Ferrari’s celestial 250 family of cars. In adding a sleek and aerodynamically efficient roof to the comparatively frumpy 250 P open prototype, Pininfarina created one of the most well-resolved automotive designs of the 20th Century.
Sure, the 250 GTO is the car every man and his dog covet the most, no doubt catalysed by its value. But where that car, a voluminous Gran Turismo, is as suited to continental cruising as it is the racetrack, the LM, with its highly-strung V12 mounted amidship, screams poise and purpose.
It’s a diminutive car, the LM. The ultra-short nose droops low and is perfectly countered by the voluptuous rear haunches, which swoop dramatically up and over the rear wheels before rising again into that delicate flick atop the Kamm tail. When Ferrari presented the LM (denoting Le Mans, its intended destination) at the Paris Motor Show in 1963, it had a shorter roof that stopped abruptly aft of the cabin, lending the car a rather unusual profile. The aerofoil that was subsequently added – and looks near identical to that found on the 250 GTO ’64, we might add – is both infinitely prettier and much more aerodynamic.
Even its spartan cockpit is worlds away from the quilted-leather-clad interior of the GTO. Seemingly wherever you look, there’s exposed aluminium, while the comically offset pedal box – itself a thing of beauty – ensures ingress and egress are nothing short of theatrical. The near-obsessive weight-saving measures are also clear to see – take the now-classic gearbox gate, for example, whose surround has been drilled to save a few extra grams. The details are glorious.
In spite of being a notoriously stubborn man, Enzo Ferrari, who’d once joked that ‘the horse pulls the cart’, simply could not sit by the wayside anymore. And so, in 1960, he unleashed the mid-engined 156 ‘Sharknose’ monoposto and the following year, dominated the Formula 1 championship with it. Encouraged by both the success and the concept, a sports car – the 250 P – followed in 1963 and proceeded to win the fabled 24 Hours of Le Mans, the first mid-engined car to do so.
The Le Mans Berlinetta was conceived as a ‘production’ car in a bid to generate sales. Ferrari’s plan was to homologate the car in the Grand Touring category, just as he had miraculously managed to do with the GTO – the FIA stipulated that a minimum of 100 cars were required to be built to satisfy the regulations, but everyone knew the actual GTO production numbers didn’t come close to half of that.
He wasn’t going to pull the wool over the officials’ eyes a second time, though. They vetoed his request and the LM was thus classed as a prototype. In retaliation (and probably fearing defeat), a livid Ferrari refused to campaign the car, which left privateers such as Luigi Chinetti’s North American Racing Team and Colonel Ronnie Hoare’s Maranello Concessionaires to pick up the mantle and put the LM on the map.
Incidentally, that brings us onto this particular 250 LM, chassis #5907. Colonel Ronnie Hoare took delivery of the car in July of 1964 and promptly put it to work in the prestigious 12 Hours of Reims, resplendent in his trademark red and Cambridge Blue colours. Driven by the stellar line up of Graham Hill and Jo Bonnier, #5907 took the overall victory. It won its next race, the Scott Brown Memorial at Snetterton, too, in the hands of Roy Salvadori. Later in the year, David Piper completed the car’s hat-trick of wins in 1964, dominating the Rang 9 Hours at Kyalami.
This 250 LM’s period success is indicative of the model’s competence as a long-distance racing car. Despite often competing against much quicker prototypes, the LM racked up some 33 victories, including at Spa, Zolder, Silverstone, and, most famously, Le Mans. We imagine Jochen Rindt and Masten Gregory’s 1965 Le Mans win felt like manna from heaven for the disgruntled Enzo Ferrari. It was his marque’s sixth straight victory in the greatest endurance race and his ninth overall. Sadly, no other Ferrari has won it since.
Given the Ferrari 250 LM’s heady cocktail of competition success, rarity (just 32 were built, making it rarer than the 250 GTO), and sheer beauty, it’s hardly surprising that values have skyrocketed in recent years. In Monterey in 2015, RM Sotheby’s sold the famous ex-Ron Fry car for 17.6m US dollars and several experts we consulted reckoned a good and straight example is worth well over 20m dollars today. What we find amazing is that a 250 GTO allegedly recently traded for over three times that, at 70m dollars.
Sure, the GTO has become something of an enigma, spoken about in hushed whispers and shrouded in mystery. And yes, it was dominant in the period and clinched Ferrari the GT titles in 1962, ’63, and ’64. But circumstances meant the LM was never allowed to compete as a GT car, which only prolonged the GTO's lifespan. We also accept that it’s a genuinely useable road car – something that can’t really be said of the LM. But, as we keep hearing, today’s market does its homework with ruthless dedication and characteristics such as provenance, rarity, competition history, and condition, are defining factors when it comes to the values of the ‘best of the best’. On paper, the LM is surely equal (or at least as near as makes no difference) to the GTO – regardless, the LM is a hell of a lot cheaper than a GTO. We’ll take two, please!
Barbie is so cute! I wish her outfit would be a little more realistic. It seems so out of plce with all the realistic outfits on the rest of the girls. Maybe some cute white pants instead of that skirt? Still like the dress though. She had some pretty bad box hair, but it was easy to fix.

Put my camera on the ground and took some shots. Tricky one to edit and get things ok. I wanted to capture the colourful wall with the vivid trees.
So as some of you may know I got the new summer sets at ToysRus and I have been building them for the past three days. I still need the Ewok Attack, they had it when I was there but hesitated and did not pick it up. Then I went back to get the Nightspeeder which they just got in but some noobs grabbed all of the Ewok Attack sets. All of these sets are great, Not liking the Sith Infiltrator at all, but I love the Podracers, Falcon, and the Frigate. My favorite figures out of all is obviously Wolffe first, Savage Opress second, and Watto third. These are all awesome and I would check your ToysRus !
There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you, and there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself.

It's a rework of my previous mini Porsche, but with more details that I can put on a 7x17 platform. It's just 1-stud wider than the speed champion set, which I think is more 'proportional' and more accurate in terms of scale. And all the structure is held on to by a 1x12 plate firmly with what I call 'segmented layering'. I just made that up. Lol.
The trunk has a spare tire, a tan interior, doors, rear mirror, lights, exhaust pipe, pedals, working hood and trunk cover, side mirrors, and even a gear stick!. But most of all, my favorite: an engine!
And it's green. ^__^
So today Brad was asking when do you put down the books and stop buying gear and just go shoot. I replied, everyday now that I am doing this 366 project. Some people say a project like this isn't good for your photography, since most of the time you are rushed to get your shot for the day.
Take this shot for example. Nothing special really. But it is a style of photo I have never taken. So even though I might have been rushed, I learned a lot doing this. Shot with my 50, f/1.8, 1/10sec exposure. Speedlight set manually to 1/64 power, with built in diffuser.
Random Fact: It was cold out. So cold that you can even see a little bit of snot on my nose...HA!
Told ya it was SOOC ;-)
This image was put together after reading the lyrics to the lullaby 'hush little baby'. It is such a strange, sad tale and I really wanted to try to put it into a visual context.
Any critique is greatly appreciated!

HUSH LITTLE BABY: LULLABY
Hush, little baby, don't say a word.
Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass
And if that looking glass gets broke,
Mama's gonna buy you a billy goat
And if that billy goat won't pull,
Mama's gonna buy you a cart and bull
And if that cart and bull turn over,
Mama's going to buy you a dog named Rover.
And if that dog named Rover won't bark,
Mama's going to buy you a horse and cart.
And if that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.
