At some point these 30xx units will get renumbered into the 2900's and I'll probably be glad I got them when they were mis-numbered. But lately it seems like I see them all the time...
I did this wrong. I put up 6 pictures, but they turned out to be in the reverse order from what they should have been. If you are looking at this and want to spend the time on it, please go to the first of the series of 6 and follow upward from that one. Only then will it make any sense. Sorry for the inconvenience. I'm new at this, and new on flickr.
This is the back side of our home in the very beginning. We moved in on October 31st, 2004, and we have since added a front deck and a back deck. From this view you can see our walkout basement door, and above it you can see our sliding glass doors.
It was hard to believe that we owned a brand new home, that I would be cooking on all new appliances, that for once in our lives, we could call the dog or cats as loud as we wanted to without bothering the neighbors. Indeed, they are several acres away!
The front of the home faces our little strip of woods, separated from us by a front yard and a driveway. We have so much privacy! For two city people, this is a little piece of Heaven!
Jack and I have been married for 7 years now, in 2008. We are fairly well established in this little community in the Finger Lakes. We do not go to Florida every winter as many of our friends do. I'm hoping we'll go down sometime during the coming winter to visit with my children and grandchildren. We only have to go to Hatfield, PA or Northeast, MD to visit Jack's children.
Jack and I are actually cousins, and we spent some good times together in the summers when we were young. We didn't hear anything from one another for a period of 50 years, and I thought I'd like to find out how he was getting along. I had been alone for many years after a disappointing marriage. I wrote to my cousin Jack, thinking he was happily married. But he had lost his wife to cancer three years earlier. He called, he came down, we laughed and cried together, and then we knew we shared enough history to be happy together. We married in 2001.
This is probably the best group I could join. I continually apologize to my friends for writing such lo-o-o-ong e-mails. I love to write. I think there are many people for whom writing is the communication of choice. Thank you for a group that accepts a lot of verbiage. Who'd ever have thought there would be a group like this???
The Graphic Novel, Johnny Repeat, written by Jason James, illustrated by a variety of artists, and distributed by Citizen Press is a haunting read.
MS Paint bird pattern for the mighty REPEAT X REPEAT Y.
Definitely a website worth taking a gander at.
1000 thank yous to The Meek Shall for help in coverting my MS Paint effort into something worthy of putting on the net.
Probably one of my favourite places for a photo since this would be a repeat for the 3rd time.
It's sad that the thing I remember most about this photo was that a bunch of kids walked behind me and one of them threw a large rock at me. The rock missed me by about a meter and while I was furious about how it could have landed on my head, I let it slide and didn't chase them down.
I hope these kids will one day learn that it's not funny to throw a fist size rock at someone.
After a few weeks of parking in regular parking spaces like they're supposed to, the driver of this car has been parking in this no parking area again this past week.
Pele's Well on the rocky Kona coast, Hawaii.
Having seen James Capo’s tremendous photo of Pele’s Well earlier this year in Outdoor Photographer magazine, it was constantly on my mind. After several months passed, I was able to visit the well and make my own photos. It was almost a surreal experience. Being such a dynamic spectacle, I was unable to select just one photo to depict its beauty and intrigue because it changes so much from instant to instant. So, I’ve uploaded several shots to flickr that showcase this phenomenon at different times during the flushing cycle. Note how much overflow occurs on some flushes, but not on others. Of course, the sound of rushing water added to the adventure but photos can’t depict sound. So, I will eventually upload at least one short video with audio.
This particular exposure was relatively long (10 seconds) so the water appears to be more ethereal than you would see in person.
A word of caution: Approaching closely to Pele’s Well is not without risk. The rocks can be quite slippery and one’s life could be changed in an instant. Furthermore, the water level and distance of spread along the rock surfaces vary rapidly so it pays to be alert.
As part of one of my programs, I needed some repeatable patterns. I created a few and these are the best (so far). (I didn't use a pattern generator but Paint.Net and a grid I created.)
We have his smaller brother, "Pete" at the shelter too..

A false-color image of the roof of the Higashi Honganji Buddhist temple taken during the Obon Festival in summer, 2009. The roof actually appears to be made of gray, composite shingles, not gold. It was a little more colorful this way.
An view of the temple without the gold-colored-glasses can be be seen here.
