For the Macro Monday's theme - Rule
'Rule of thumb' is the idea and I wanted to use a thumb print to convey breaking the law and the red print could also be (pause for tension) blood! I have also used the rule of thirds in the shot. HMM.
or traditions as the case may be.... I flew back to Texas today as we are doing some recruiting in Austin tomorrow. My friend and colleague Darrin and I stopped for a bite here....gotta love these traditions (rules) ;-)
Lockhart, Texas (also known as the bbq capital of Texas)
are you ready for this?
whaddya mean? it's just a first date.
think, man! what if things get dicey?
um, I dunno.
just remember this: you follow the rules of engagement.
there's rules? for a first date?
she's a woman, ain't she? watch out.
are the rules, you know, effective?
not really, no. but when you're all alone out there on a storm-tossed sea, anything you can grab onto is a comfort.
storm-tossed. . . I'm starting to feel a little queasy.
you can't be too prepared. just sayin'.
maybe I should wear a helmet.
I recommend it. definitely.
Golden Rule...the name of the larger blue boat. Taken in Helvick Pier, a location I have posted images in the past from....and you are likely to see more from here again. A favourite location of mine.
Quarter-plate tintype by an anonymous photographer. A lensman captured this Union officer giving the time-honored gesture of derision or disdain. His technique matches an instruction printed in an 1863 issue of the Semi-Weekly Wisconsin of Milwaukee: “Put thumb to nose, and gyrate the extended fingers for a moment.”
Though Oxford Dictionary dates the origin of the phrase to 1854, Newspapers.com reveals examples in England as early as 1840, and the United States in 1841.
One Civil War example involves Gen. Pierre G.T. Beauregard after the First Battle of Manassas in 1861. As the story goes, a member of the 11th New York Infantry—the rowdy Fire Zouaves—was hauled before the victorious general and “manifested his contempt for that chieftain by putting his thumb to his nose and gyrating with his finger.” The Zouave then kicked and knocked about a few nearby soldiers, challenged Beauregard to a fight, and then took off running. He was soon apprehended and tossed into solitary confinement.
The yarn finishes, “The rebels seem to admire the cool audacity of the chap, and Beauregard laughed heartily at his pranks.”
In a Facebook post on March 19, 2019, John Laking noted, "In England this is called 'cocking a snook ' if he used his left to extend the gesture that would be ' long bacon .'"

The picture on my photostream with the most views is of this little birch tree, taken last June. Despite not adhering to photography rules, it appeared on Explore Front Page and gained over 5,000 views in a very short time. I'm not sure whether this latest capture from last weekend shows an improvement in my skills but at least it shows the changing seasons in Skye.
