If you are at the Thanksgiving dinner table today, don't bring up politics or religion. You might end up having to leave the table quickly, with your food in your mouth, LOL.
I hope all of you here in the USA have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Fortunately, I am going to a close neighbor's house for a ham dinner and I am taking a homemade lemon meringue pie. They only live a very short distance from me which is great because my dogs are all getting so elderly I don't like leaving them for any long periods now.
Anyway, have a wonderful day everyone!
We try every year to spend a few days in summer at or around Rarawa Beach. It was a bit disappointing this year when life got in the way and the trip didn't happen. There is always next year.
I’m afraid Cinderella is late to the ball and there’s no sign of those mice and their carriage. Looks like I’ll have to pick up my skirts and walk! This is a seriously beautiful satin ballgown from Junbug that you can still get for a few days more from the Enchantment event. If you’ve got any sense you’ll go and buy it!!
Going back 12 years ago, CP tested these RailMate trailers from Superior to the Twin Cities. On this first test run of April 23, 2008, they called a special train to bring the bogies from Superior to Minneapolis. If I remember correctly, these RoadRailer like trailers were loaded with aggregate off the Iron Range, destined for the western suburbs of Minneapolis. I believe this was the only special RailMate train CP ran and subsequent runs of these things were on the regular 482. The RailMates didn't last long and ended up stored along the TC&W at Hopkins for much longer than they ran.
Here is CP 8802 West on the test train, just west of Saunders, WI on April 23, 2008, running as CP 482. I took this shot from the former Soo grade that all Soo Line trains used to take out of Superior. Just ahead this test train will diverge onto BNSF's Hinckley Sub. and run as a southbound to the Twin Cities.

Taken mid July this year when it was wall to wall sunshine from dawn til dusk. Such a contrast to yesterday’s dark dreary stair rod rain filled greyness. My office overlooks a car park and road, both of which flooded yesterday as a result of heavy rain. These Lisianthus flowers brightened my evening last night when looking for something a little cheery to post for today.
Thanks for stopping
Rarely seen in these heavily farmed areas, but recalled from childhood hedgerows and meadows. Now they are mainly seen as the flowers of remembrance as Armistice Day approaches. Beautiful and delicate - brightly they shine!

I was riding my bike in Orlando Florida when I seen this mural dedicated to remembering September 11 it was very big on the side of a gas station I took a lot of pictures of it but the eagle was the number one thing I wanted to use I tried to do my best to honor the original mural .

Today was the last day of the hibiscus bush in front of my house. I'm re-landscaping around my house (that I bought last year), and the hibiscus was intergrown with another bush that I really didn't like. And the fact that I didn't really like the color (hence all the false color shots of hibiscus flowers) meant that it had to go. I had a moment of silence for it today, as I don't like to kill anything (and it seemed a really healthy bush). It will live on, though, as I took some cuttings last fall and at least one seems to be doing quite well. (For those curious about whether this shot looks familiar - yes, it's the same shot as Always Remember That Which Brought You Joy, but with different colors.)
I plan to get a new hibiscus. But this time I think I'll go with red.
Well, thanks for looking. And, as always, comments are always appreciated.
In the middle distance of this view from the heights of the Launceston City Park we can see a strange object. It is indeed a cannon, a remnant of the Crimean War (1853-1856). It was manufactured in St Petersburg in 1840, and was captured by the British after the siege of Sebastopol (1854-55).
The cannon was awarded to the citizens of Launceston for raising large sums of money to support the war. In fact Lancestonians raised the highest average contribution of any Australian city. The gun arrived in 1860.
It is from cannons like this that the bronze is cast to make Victoria Cross medals for military bravery to this day.
In relation to the Infra Red shot itself, I find that shooting into the sun produces the most interesting (backlit) results.
Remembering those who have died and those injured today in yet another stupid senseless attack.
Political goals will never be achieved by attacking and killing the innocents.

“Summer is a period of luxurious growth. To be in harmony with the atmosphere of summer, awaken early in the morning and reach to the sun for nourishment to flourish as the gardens do. Work, play, travel, be joyful, and grow into selfless service. The bounty of the outside world enters and enlivens us.”
-Paul Pitchford
My mood is reflective and I was thinking of this day last summer.
I remember saying on a photo of this series that it was like a Hamlet cigar moment. So because my camera was on a tripod I was for a change taking 4 shots in overlay mode in camera which then blend into one photo and this is another such shot with a more powerful wave hitting the rocks...Sue x
Remember her "Veil"? This ceiling is in the lobby of a beautifully renovated office building north of Macy's. These buildings were all clothing manufacturing or show rooms--I spotted a few showrooms on the floor where I was. The building is going through quite a transition.
And hey darling sipping that red wine,
All classy, kicked back on the couch.
You smile and I see ya shootin' tequila,
Us shuttin' them college bars down.
And no matter how much time goes by,
And no matter how much we grow up,
For worse or for better, from now 'til forever,
I'll always remember you young.

Remember Martin?
We bumped into each other again. In case your wondering, his doing fine, well much more than fine. A later picture will explain, I won't give too much any just yet.
For those who don't know, this is Mr. Martin www.flickr.com/photos/143280886@N08/31251564930/in/datepo...

We will remember them,
The ones who stood tall,
Who fought for their country,
The ones who were willing to fall.
We will remember them,
The ones whose lives had shined,
Who were mighty and bold,
May the world be defined.
Look at all our nations,
Oh how far we've come,
As every person will stay in our hearts,
We shall stand one by one.
