This crest was taken from the deconstruction of a much older building and placed at the main entrance to a new condo building on N. Broadway Ave. Additional similar decorative pieces were installed in the same building's lobby.
Reading my bible is one of my favorite times of the day. It is so peaceful. Also, today was too beautiful of a day not to be happy!

Alligators are ambush predators and are very opportunistic. They don't pick and choose prey; they pretty much grab whatever is in reach and drown it, saving it to devour later.
This was the unfortunate end of a handsome, little, two year old child the other day in a lagoon on Disney property in Orlando. No one thinks something like that will ever happen to them, especially on a family vacation, someplace where they think the biggest threat will be sore feet and sunburn from waiting in long lines. This is Florida, and we share space with giant reptiles that view us as dinner. This was a horrible tragedy, and unfortunately, no amount of suing Disney, or posting signs can ever remove the threat completely.
In Australia's northern territories, there is one salt water crocodile for every man, woman and child that lives there. Some grow to be better than 20 feet long! They are a major threat and cause tremendous loss of life to cattle, as well as humans. These reptiles, like Florida's gators, have been around for countless centuries, and unless we wipe them out, they will continue to exist for thousands more. Whether gator or croc, you can never forget to give them the respect they deserve, and take precautions when in THEIR habitat to stay safe!
If you visit places where these monsters live, keep in mind that they ARE there, even if you can't see them. They often stay submerged, sometimes with their eyes only visible above the water line, and sometimes on the bottom of a lake or pond, or even a canal. They can sense immediately when something comes in or near the water, and that is where they are the most effective at attacking.
When in gator or croc country, never walk right along the edge of a lake, a pond, or any other fresh water area. (In the case of Australia's salties, that includes salt water!) Don't let your children play near the water, and don't let your pets walk near or in it! It may be hot, and you might like to sit on a dock and dangle your feet in the water, but it's not worth it. You might go home unable to walk! The swimming holes you swam in as a child up north are NOT what we have here in Florida!
As for people who say, run in a "Z" pattern, it doesn't help. A gator can run up to 30 mph in short bursts, and you're not liable to escape it if you aren't prepared. DO NOT go to wildlife areas where there are no people during mating season! Mating season is April to May here in Florida.
When I've been out and about in places like the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, I've often been 10-20 feet away from alligators to take pics. Usually, I do it with one foot in the door of my car, and the motor running! If the gator were to move even slightly, I'd be outta there! I looked online once and saw that a croc can swim as fast as 50 feet per SECOND! If a large gator could only swim half that fast, it wouldn't give me more than 2-3 seconds to react before being dragged into a canal and killed! It's a sobering thing, especially in light of recent events.
Please don't take chances, and make sure you go back home with only pleasant memories to talk about! If you would like to read about the mating and nesting habits of alligators, this was very interesting and good to know so you don't anger a mother gator! www.mysuncoast.com/earth/earth_news/spring-is-in-the-air-...

This is a newspaper photo that caught my eye. The caption reads: "Naked truth: To demonstrate their concern that the issue of global warming is still not taken seriously enough, nearly 600 volunteers last weekend agreed to strip off for U.S. photographer Spencer Tunick and pose in their birthday suits in freezing conditions on the icy Swiss glacier Aletsch, the largest in the Alps, which like many others is in danger of melting away because of rising temperatures."
I had already given up. I’d gone to John Hunt park in Huntsville to shoot the sunset. I was hoping against hope I might get a clean shot of it — without too much clutter from the city. That, of course, didn’t happen. There were lights everywhere — especially street lights and lights from the tennis courts.
It was cold, the wind was blowing and I was tired. So I packed it up and headed into the traffic to fight my way home. That’s when I saw the full Moon rising right next to the illuminated flag. Too cool. So I turned around, pulled out all the gear and started shooting. I had waited too long. The Sun had set and it was getting dark. The Moon was already too bright to balance with the light on the flag. So I cropped out the Moon and saved the flag. It was worth saving.

Saving No Expense - The owner of this luxury apartment building in Coatesville, PA will spare no expense to provide the best of mailboxes for the tenants.
So, the ghost of Mrs d@y studios told me that Target had the Lego Super Heroes and I decided I would check and see.
Good idea!
As you can see, I got the Superman Vs. Power Armor Lex and Catcycle City chase!
I thought they would go together well in a little diorama with the heroes fighting Lex in his Power Armor and Catwoman using the opportunity to speed away with the diamond while the heroes are distracted!
Also, while you are at it, please take a few moments to check out my blog: Bricks n more I've got Lego reviews, news, and anything else I can think up. Should have reviews up of these sets by early next week at the latest!
Over the next four years British aid to Nigeria will help save the lives of 1 million women, like Hauwa and Hadiza. Hauwa's, dream now is that one day her daughter will become a health worker, "I want her to become a nurse. I pray she will help others in the same way I have been helped"

The Chevrolet Corvette (C6) is a sports car produced by the Chevrolet division of General Motors introduced for the 2005 model year. The current generation Corvette is the first with exposed headlamps since the 1962 model.
The Z06 arrived as a 2006 model in the third quarter of 2005. It is also the lightest of all Corvette models. It had a new 7.0 L (427 cu in) version of the Small-Block engine codenamed LS7, which produced 505 hp (376 kW). In addition to the larger engine, the Corvette Z06 has a dry sump oiling system, and connecting rods made out of titanium alloy. The frame of the Z06 is constructed from aluminum, saving 136 pounds over the standard steel frame. Other weight saving measures such as balsa wood/carbon fiber composite floors and a magnesium alloy engine cradle were used.

Woodward's
Abbott Street, Vancouver
Abbott & Cordova, 7 August 1971 by Stan Douglas
Photo mural
glass
50' x 30'
Vancouver artist Stan Douglas completed a 30' by 50' image on glass depicting the Gastown Riots of 1971. The over-sized photograph, together with a basketball hoop, has become the central focus within the atrium of the new Woodward's Redevelopment.
What seems to be a random moment captured at the northeast corner of Woodward’s during the melee was entirely re-created over three nights on a parking lot at the PNE in 2008 by the artist, shot in about 50 segments and then merged into one image.
Formerly a Walmart Portrait Studio, this business in front of the store was briefly used as a clearance center and now it has been remodeled completely into an arcade.

i had a major developing problem with this roll of polachrome; the film came out the processor totally dark.
i was about to threw it in the bin, when, taking a closer look, i saw the pictures on the film, in negative. so i proceed to remove the black, thick layer that should have been removed in the processor. under running tap water and using my fingers, i managed to remove the most of the dark layer, but, as you can see, the emulsion suffered major loss.
the lesson here is: never trash away your polachrome, the truth is under the thick black layer.
this polachrome film is expired in 1990

365 Project - Image #7/365
After news of Ice-Bat's heroic rescue of Wage spread amongst the ugly community he's become somewhat of a local superstar, with people wanting to say hello to him, give him a hug, shake his wing and he's even had some underwear thrown at him too (which embarassed him quite a lot if I'm being honest).
He was asked to do an interview for the Ugly Times in which they wanted to ask him all about himself, his life, his aspirations and re-enact the story of saving Wage from the armpit-high snow he was stuck in.
As part of the feature they asked for him to meet with the papers local photographer and do a shoot, which he turned down and said, "I will only do a photoshoot when I choose the photographer".
Thankfully the newspapers editor in chief agreed and here you have the shot which they will be using...
Ice-Bat is so happy with the shot and has already asked for them to run with the headline "The King of Snow and Ice".
