1. I'm a vegetarian... and I don't like vegetables. I'll eat some (bean sprouts, carrots, cucumber, corn, lettuce that's not shredded, sometimes tomatoes and spinach) but I hate everything else and have to force whatever I can down and try not to gag.
2. I cried when I looked up Carl Sagan on Wikipedia and found out he was dead.
3. I passionately hate Stephen Harper, as well as several other Canadian politicians. If Harper or someone like him still "runs" the country by the time I finish my undergrad, I plan to emigrate.
4. I love NYC!
5. I'm short. Somewhere around 5' or 5'1"... my goal is to grow above 5'3", but it's starting to seem unlikely. My tripod is taller than me.
6. Despite the fact that my mom is the owner of a Spa/Salon and I live above it, I haven't had nail polish on since my grade 8 graduation... it was pale pink and barely noticeable.
7. goes along with 6... I am not a girly girl. I'm becoming more okay with shopping for clothes, but I hate chick flick romance movies such as Dear John. I also don't like romance novels.
8. No matter how much sunscreen I put on, I still seem to get really tanned in the summer. People mistake me for being Indian/ Italian/ Middle Eastern... usually Italian. I'm actually a mix of British, Scottish and Irish.
9. The string on my finger was insanely difficult to tie on.
10. I feel really nervous walking around with a camera hanging from my neck strap. I'm not afraid that someone's going to steal it, I'm terrified the strap will break and my camera will fall.
Since I don't have many flickr friends, I'm just going to tag my mutual contacts :).
October 23: O.o 150+ views!? Thanks guys!
Your kids are now full grown
With the love and pride you should have known
Back when your country brought you home
Still now you fight the tears and face your fears each day
But the horrors of fact won't go away
For 2300 MIA's or POW's to this day
We remember and pray for you...

Mikey just turned 18 and I took him to the DMV today for his road test. Remember when you got your license to freedom?
Remember me Tomorrow
When the sun came up that early morning she heard them squeal in delight
it's a starfish.. it's a pinwheel.. it looks like a flower ... all three of you are right!
the sunbeams began to shine through the trees and cast a glow across the sky
she watched the kidlets stomp around in the snow and then pretend to fly
gramma, why are the clouds purple today? ..maybe someone spilled the juice
not me, not me, not me they chimed.. goodness it must have been the goose
their giggles echoed off the trees and faded slowly into the grape stained cloud
i can jump.. i can twirl.. i can fly... she grinned at them.. you make me so proud
you are growing right before my eyes.. it won't be long you'll be grown ups
i will be a carpenter, i want to be a nurse, i will be a teacher.. oh my little pups
they played some more in the morning snow..it was time at the end of their stay
their time seemed to go so quickly.. there were never enough hours in their day
there will come a day when you are off in the world...seeing all there is to see
if we grow up and go away and see the world like you say...where will you be
she dug in the snow and found three little rocks.. these are for you to borrow
what are these gramma? ... my heart stones... so you remember me tomorrow

236/365 Remember me.
"Go away, while staying in it you feel like in the center of the world, it never does change anything, then you are, a year, two, and when you come back everything changed, the common thread is broken." You don't want to find, your things are no longer.
You have to leave you long time, many years; to find your return to your people, the land where you were born. But it is not now possible. Go away. I don't want to hear more. I just want to hear from you.
And when everything remains equal, the same smell and the way that you feel. Your memories flood your mind".
For this image inspires me in the film "Cinema Paradiso" a fantastic film.

236/365 Recuerdame
"Marchate, mientras permaneces en ella te sientes como en el centro del mundo, te parece que nunca cambia nada, luego te vas, un año, dos y cuando vuelves todo a cambiado, se rompe el hilo conductor. No encuentras a quien querías encontrar, tus cosas ya no están.
Has de ausentarte mucho tiempo, muchos años; para encontrar a tu vuelta a tu gente, la tierra donde naciste. Pero ahora no es posible. Marchate. No quiero oírte más. Solo quiero oír hablar de ti.
Y cuando todo sigue igual, el mismo olor y la manera en la que te hacia sentir. Tus recuerdos inundan tu mente".
Para esta imagen me inspire en la película "Cinema Paradiso" una película fantástica.
...but please don't neglect all the others......
It has been 18 months since Roney's cold-blooded murder.
May he have found peace wherever his journey has taken him.......
Remembering your scent, wherever I saw a flower,
I smelled it and tears began to pour.
Wherever I saw a cypress in the meadow,
I kissed its feet in memory of you.

It was a sad day when the Soo 60's hit the storage line back in 2009. Rumors said they were never to return, but thankfully that rumor stayed a rumor. In March of 2010 I successfully snagged my first well lit photos of a reactivated pair with my new D3000. Soo 6025 and 6052 race east down the main through Minnesota City, with a hogger that seems about as happy with the 60's return as I was! Soo 6025 was one of the first to be rebuilt and repainted into CP dress, so I'm sure glad I was able to sang some shots while it was still a Soo.
I have wanted to do this image for months in readiness for D Day for my dad who you see in this picture, but life gets in the way and before you know it the day has passed BUT never forgotten.
So I dedicate this image to my wonderful Dad who would have stood and saluted those that lost their lives.
By the trenches I hold my breath
waiting for my death.
Here the gunshots and the bombs
is this where our soldiers belong.
Now I lay in the grass
waiting for the war to pass.
Wear a poppy on this day
for several minutes stop your play
on the eleventh stand and pray
Apart from the men at war you see in the background all images are from my own stock
There seemed to be no sign of the smoke from the wildfires in B.C. and Alberta on 24 July 2017, so I made the most of it and went for an afternoon drive SE of the city. First, I wanted to call in at the Saskatoon Farm and find a few colourful flowers to photograph and then I wanted to check on birds at Frank Lake - a good job I don't make lists of what I see, as this bird list would have been ridiculously short!
The Saskatoon Farm was absolutely packed! It was U-pick season and this is obviously extremely popular. I had a fairly quick wander around, including taking a photo or two of the unusual-looking Helmeted Guineafowl. I love their black and white, polka dot body feather pattern. Also love their Sunflowers, especially the orange ones.
From there, I drove the short distance to Frank Lake, which was totally deserted - no people, practically no birds, either. Where were they all? I've had such bad luck at Frank Lake this year on the few times I have been there. Three White-faced Ibis and a juvenile Black-crowned Night-Heron flew over, and I did see a Marsh Wren and a Yellow-headed Blackbird. I had driven there the previous day, too, and there was not much to see, though I was lucky to have a Western Grebe swim briefly near the blind. It was 34C (93.2F) at the lake that day!
From the blind, I drove all the way round the lake area, hoping to find a field or two of Canola. Afterwards, one of the further roads had me passing the tiny church at Dinton. I always stop and take a few photos.
Each year the World Trade Center lights come on for a few days in remembrance of 9/11. The lights are eerie yet comforting and the entire area (just for those few days) is just a tad bit quieter than usual. Like a moth drawn to the flame so do these lights attract bugs, birds (b/c of the bugs) and of course tourists and photographers. One of the challenges is framing. You can always take photos of the lights from far away on the backdrop of the cityscape. As you get closer framing disappears. It took me awhile but I was able to find an interesting polygon formed by surrounding buildings to frame the lights.
- New face-up -
Do you guys remember this little pukifee icis? I used to own her but I sold her in January 2014 to a really nice friend who fell head over heels for her. The butterfly girl is named Tuva-Li and she's been very well taken care of, but as with loved belongings she's been so loved that her face-up started to crumble. So she sent her to me to redo it ^w^
I actually miss having an icis, she and a white skin bonnie is next on my wishlist!
Body, remember not only how much you were loved,
not only the beds you lay on,
but also those desires that glowed openly
in eyes that looked at you,
trembled for you in the voices—
only some chance obstacle frustrated them.
Now that it’s all finally in the past,
it seems almost as if you gave yourself
to those desires too—how they glowed,
remember, in eyes that looked at you,
remember, body, how they trembled for you in those voices.

Θυμήσου, Σώμα...
Σώμα, θυμήσου όχι μόνο το πόσο αγαπήθηκες,
όχι μονάχα τα κρεββάτια όπου πλάγιασες,
αλλά κ’ εκείνες τες επιθυμίες που για σένα
γυάλιζαν μες στα μάτια φανερά,
κ’ ετρέμανε μες στην φωνή — και κάποιο
τυχαίον εμπόδιο τες ματαίωσε.
Τώρα που είναι όλα πια μέσα στο παρελθόν,
μοιάζει σχεδόν και στες επιθυμίες
εκείνες σαν να δόθηκες — πώς γυάλιζαν,
θυμήσου, μες στα μάτια που σε κύτταζαν•
πώς έτρεμαν μες στην φωνή, για σε, θυμήσου, σώμα.
(Από τα Ποιήματα 1897-1933, Ίκαρος 1984)

...in winter cold São Paulo just now, time for warm clothing.
Imagine! I went to the seaside only last month........
I know this is a bit later than is usual but, remembering isn't just a one off experience. If you really want to remember something, you want to go over it again and again.
