Well yes that's the question
When Aiko suggests that we need a break and something nice to eat, he stops
Licks his mouth while watching me
He makes sure that I'm seeing him
Whenever he sees a picnic table like this, he jumps upon it, ready for omnoms
So mind you, all you picnic people out there, that puts your food straight on the table.....
There are dirty paws on the table
Spiders you can't see
Lots of other stuff you don't even want to think of is there too
Yup, down the hatch
So here he is on the table
I'm obviously too slow to understand him, or respond
So he is now begging for treats
And in my head he is praying too
You know that it's important that you think positive when you're looking at the stuff you are about to eat or drink?
That's the same as giving it a blessing
Your body will respond with joy and say Yippi; I'm going to have this lovely piece of food and devour it with good conscience
You are giving the food a good energy by thinking positive and we need good energy when we are eating and drinking
We need a good atmosphere both outside our body
And inside
It's pretty logic really
And you need to focus
Don't surfe too much on social media or deep dive into newspapers and books when you are eating
You eat way too much when you do that, because you aren't aware of your body's signals
We really don't need much, if you dare thinking about it
And, yes
Positive thinking works for chocolate too
I have tested this many times
lol
If you are having bad conscience because you are thinking that you don't deserve it, or it's not healty enough for you or whatever, you will add negative thoughts and negative energy to what you are about to eat
All the good stuff that is inside your food is wasted by this kind of thinking
So quit that
Think positive even here
It's so important
Call it bless the food if you want
I call it thinking positive
"This is good for me"
Enjoy your next meal with this in your mind if you want, I can guarantee that you'll feel better and maybe you don't even feel for taking more on your plate
There’s long been a philosophical question of whether art is more likely to imitate life (mimesis) or life is more likely to imitate art (anti-mimesis).
Oscar Wilde a champion of anti-mimesis, opined in his 1889 essay The Decay of Lying that, "Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life". In the essay, written as a Platonic dialogue, Wilde holds that anti-mimesis "results not merely from Life's imitative instinct, but from the fact that the self-conscious aim of Life is to find expression, and that Art offers it certain beautiful forms through which it may realise that energy.
The title of this portrait arose from the evolution of the piece itself. I've been coming to cat-sit in London since 2015 and this is my third stay. I noticed this graffiti in Crouch End the very first time I came, but somehow all the best intention of pulling together a portrait dissolved during the trip and once again it was left an unrealised idea.
This year I promised myself I would attempt it, even if it didn't work, I would at least try. It took 30 mins of trying to find something I liked. This composition is something I have done before several times during this project.
Originally I wasn't wearing my yellow coat, but after 30 mins of shooting it was getting cold and starting to rain so I didn't care. It was then I realised that I was actually dressed to match the graffiti which has happened before in the past :) Sometimes Art can imitate life :)

hi everyone! thank you for stopping by.
naked. is a new brand that's going to be offering a variety of furniture and decor for all of you wonderful sl inhabitants. they say beauty is in the details, and my goal is to bring some of that undisguised, naked beauty into our virtual world.
that being said, i am so happy and excited to be presenting my first release: a spring tulips set, now available at shiny shabby.
there are two options to buy it: the set, as shown in the picture, and just the bouquet, which comes with two unique static poses and one holding pose that should work with every ao. i will be posting a picture of the poses a bit later!
i hope you guys stop by shiny shabby to check out this debut release; please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any help or have questions!
Not a wet paeony :)
What is reality? Is it an image? A reflection of an image? Or is it what we see?
Well... no to all of these. So the question remains an intriguing one. And the more I read about human perception the more intriguing it becomes: our minds don't see what our eyes do…
(And if, perchance, you find your curiosity piqued, ask yourself the question why are tiger and zebra stripes vertical and not horizontal. It’s not an accident and nor a creative whim, and the answer is relevant to photography too….)
This is for the Smile on Saturday group’s Reflection on Black theme.
It’s a visual tease of course. There are three questions in the puzzle:
What is it?
Which way is what?
Where’s the mirror?
All easy to answer, but if your eyes pause even for a moment as they work it out I will feel I have succeeded in my objective.
Curiously, for me, I found it much more obvious looking at the thumbnail than at the full-screen version. And that itself is a comment on our perception I think....
I read somewhere, and it’s true for me, that a photograph that takes the mind a little while to work out generally will be perceived as a more interesting one. And that is why we find record shots and clichéd images less engaging than the creative ones - sometimes just changing the viewpoint makes capture interesting (we all take our images at head height don’t we lol.)
This is part of a set I took 18 months ago, though I only processed this particular perspective today. If you want confirmation of what it is you can rummage through my photostream to find out...
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image! Happy Smile on Saturday :)
[Tripod mount; delayed-release. Black background on black glazed ceramic tile, side-lit with LED torch.
Processed in Capture One using levels to make things blacker and then balancing the light to give some detail in the reflection. Enhanceds colours, particularly the blue and the orange. Because I like them :)
Used a gradient masked layer to brighten the reflection part to decrease the disparity in lightness against the source.
Nik Color Efex Pro for a Classic Soft Focus effect to introduce a glow to the highlights. This was a bit over the top so I blended the effect layer back into the original using Darken mode.
Flipped vertically. For fun.
Then we were done :)]

Lizzie, Lissie, and Giraffe
Lizzie was Mum's, then became Dad's. He won Lissie in a raffle, and gave her to me. I bought him the giraffe, and then inherited it and Lizzie :-)

Question Mark (Polygonia interrogationis)
Went for a drive to check out the status of several parks and came across 5 specie of butterflies of which one was this beautiful "Question Mark".
On Explore! July 8, 2007. #83
Thank you very much to all of you my dear Flickr friends for your so kind comments!
Ok Woodsman! Your ego isn’t too humiliated?
I just want to put your ego knockout! :)))
Woodsman, do you realize how many sexual acts I see in spring and summer around my stream? :)))
Yesterday I asked to you these questions: do you see that your desires are the expression of your insatisfaction about your past, your insufficiensies? and do you think it’s the samething with the sexual desires?
You answered you were not sure!
Woodsman, you certainly know that your sexuality is the source of all the energy? Right?
Do you realize that in the life of all the people the sexual acts with their lover are the closer experience to the unity…. the closer experience to your return to the unity?
But also, do you realize too that your sexual attirance for the women is always caused by your separation of the unity?
Do you see better now that your total satisfaction is impossible as much as you’re separated of your lover… of the others…. of the light… of the nature?
Ok Woodsman, that’s all for today! Tomorrow my questions/story will be on the difference between you and me!
:)))… to be continued tomorrow…!

Question. How far do you lean outside of a train window to take a photo. I don’t know, “but I win”! I must be round the bend. A forgotten photo from 2019.
This Christmas, the Peanuts gang are performing "The Seven Questions of Christmas" at the Bijou Planks Theater! The show is now reaches it finale on Christmas Day as Charlie Brown takes center stage!
"Why Christmas? We see in 1 Timothy, chapter 1, verse 15, "This saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”—and I am the worst of them."
As we have seen throughout the presentation, on Christmas day we celebrate the Lord Jesus Christ, fully God, stepping into His creation and becoming fully man as well. Why did He do this? Why Christmas? So that we can be saved. So that we can be made right with God, by God.
We celebrate the birth of Christ Jesus who came specifically to do the terrible work necessary to save all those who would repent and believe.
"We see the good news in Titus 2:11, For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people" All people, no matter where they are from, who they are, or what they've done, can be saved by turning to the Lord, Christ Jesus in belief. Even, as we just saw, if we are the worst of sinners.
That's why we have a Christmas. Merry Christmas everyone!"

A year of the shows and performers of the Bijou Planks Theater.
CHRISTmas! He is truly the reason for the season as there would be no Christmas without Him, making our traditions of gifts and celebrations disingenuous if they do not point to the Lord, Christ Jesus.

"Many have questioned their faith during the apocalypse. Some lost it, and some never had it. The majority during these hard times believes that God has left humanity. "God is good," they say, "And so God is dead." Morals perished with those unwilling to bring themselves to kill, and any of those still surviving have long lost their innocence. Still, a few cling to hope. Anything and everything is fair game in this world, but I like to believe I'm doing a good thing by cleansing the undead from this world while those in the labs search for a cure."

Wanted to do something a little different. Faith tends to be a common topic in apocalypse shows, so wanted to explore it a little. The picture isn't as great as I wanted, but it's the best I'm able to do right now. For some reason the green grass pieces just look terrible and harsh on the eyes.
It's a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together
Where have all the butterflies gone? And just a week ago there were so many. I have another question mark butterfly for you.
Cropping: When traveling and taking pictures, there's always the question of people. Do you want them in your image or not? Sometimes it helps to have them in to give your subject perspective. You have to ask yourself - 1. What the main story/subject here and what do I want to bring attention to? 2. How do I want to tell the story? Wide scope where the "looker" is deciding for themselves or are you giving it to them --no question! Here's an example where I wanted to showcase these steep stone steps... the people were on private tour. Without asking them to move (we didn't have time to wait) I decided to take the pic and crop later. I like the middle best in this instance. Far left is the original. Middle crop you still keep the sense of the steps, and they aren't the 2nd place subject in the pic. Right side--I think you lose too much of the sense of how steep they are and the steps themselves start to become secondary...
I've been working on my MW2 characters for a week now and I'm still not happy with Soap's face. Does it look alright or should I change it??
Looks better pressing L

Island of Discovery - Questions (part 2/3)
Recovered from the journal of Reginald J. Schnuff; pirate, explorer, archaeologist, etc.
Journal Entry 457
“I awoke to the sound of waves and discovered that I wasn’t dead. Where was I and what happened? Then it came to me: the shipwreck. All my mates. Gone. Given up to the depths. I survived, but why? Here on an unknown island with no food or shelter. I was left to my fears and my racing heart. I was better off sinking in the sea.
I journeyed through the jungle for what seemed like days. Some places dark as midnight. Every sound made my skin crawl, and I knew that with every step I was being watched.
Still I found no signs civilization, and I couldn’t tell whether that was a good thing or not. The tales of cannibals and monsters even frightened a pirate such as I. The sea I could handle, but all alone on an unknown island, I wasn’t sure. But I would not go down without a fight that’s to be sure.
Then all of a sudden, I stepped into a clearing with what seemed to be a village taken over by the jungle. ‘So there are people here in this island?’ It appeared that nobody had been in these parts for a very long time, except for the lit torches. They cast an eerie glow over the buildings and dense foliage. I looked all around and couldn’t find a soul. ‘Where are the people?’ I wondered...”
Hey everyone this is the second part of my Island of Discovery miniseries. There will be a total of three MOCs in this series. Please let me know what you think of the MOC and the story!
Soli Deo Gloria!

I asked this biker guy two questions ... if I could borrow his hair for the weekend ... and if I could take his picture .... He said I couldn't borrow the hair ... but I made the portrait anyway ...
Easy to identify this butterfly with that big white question mark on the side of the wing. Found it in my back yard.
