I Have to admit that im not the best dark ride photographer but this picture comes with a story. A few years ago, I was in California with my friend and her family. We were in Hollywood eating at the Disney Soda Fountain Shop. We take two of the three tables they had at the front window. After a while a couple comes in and asks if anybody was sitting at the table next to us and we said, "your more then welcome to sit here". After a few minutes we finally realized who those nice people were. It was the great Richard Sherman and his wife. Now being the Disney fan that I am, I couldn't believe that I was sitting next a person who wrote some of the greatest Disney songs know to man and whose boss was none other then my idol Walt Disney. We respected him and and went about eating, but man, the questions I wish I could have asked that man. Come to find out, they were having the premier at the El Capitan Theater for the new Sherman Boys movie that very same day. What a great memory to have. He had any table to choose from and he chose to sit with us. What an honor. I hope you enjoyed my story.
We have begun the mamoth task of organizing all of the crap we've accumulated before moving house next month. Sometimes it's almost impossible to throw something away, even though you know you won't need it.

Firstly, about 2 years ago, I did a photoshop job on a sign that says "Flood" next to the river in New Farm. I painted the river water up around the Flood sign which is next to a restaurant and quite large. Every time we get lots of rain here, the views for this photo goes through the roof, as people see it from a search.
Today, someone posted a link at the bottom of the comments to a ABC news photo of THE REAL THING and if you look at them side by side, it is amazingly similar. Mine was pure speculation.
As we walk around the Gilligans Island where we are trapped, I can't help but notice the irony of some signs, as if you haven't already guessed.
This was a silent carwash down the street.
Our late walking excursion showed that the water is dropping, probably by about half a metre from what we saw this morning.
The river is still a raging torrent, but the moorings and boats have ceased to float by, although there is a lot of smaller junk going passed.
I just watched on TV a large sinking yacht in the river with 2 men on board. Eventually, the yacht sank rapidly from the rear, and the 2 men managed to separate in runabouts, but they were very close, and as the yacht went down, the bow flipped up and over and the masts and rigging capsized the runabouts and depositied the people in the river. Apparently they were both rescued and one was slightly hurt.
I spoke to a policeman at the city end of the road closure, and he told me that if the circumstances were desperate, they would allow me to drive out on the only available bridge exit lane but I may not be able to get back. There are roads flooded everywhere, and it may be tricky finding a path through streets that were usable, if we were to try to return home.
It will be interesting to see what tomorrow brings, as it is possible that the water will drop quickly and sufficiently, to allow more roads to open.
People this afternoon were able to walk to the dry parts of the city and South Bank, but it is only open to people and pushbikes, as it uses an elevated pedestrian path.
A lady I spoke to returning from this trip says that South Bank looks like a war zone.
We are doing ok, we still get some emergency power, as the building manager has found a way to get friends deliver a drum of fuel at the railway overhead bridge where he meets it to trolly it across the railway to bring to the apartment. He is fantastic for that effort.
We walked over the railway footbridge to the dry side of the line, and found a small Chinese store who had friends buy essentials like bread, milk, batteries at stores in parts of the city less affected, and drive them to their shop so people here can buy some things. It is the only shop open here. Top marks to them for their efforts.
My comment last night about my camera was that the cable connecting the camera to the laptop was left behind. I have more photos, but no way of getting them onto the laptop.
If I use my Panasonic camera, it is all good, this is what you see today.
Cheers for now, and let's see what tomorrow brings. Mrs Mail is pressing to return to the castle, even though there is no electricity there.

The challenge was you were only able to use one light, but it needed to look like there was more than one.

If you are ever in Waikiki Beach in Hawaii and you venture to this gazebo at the end of the pier, there will be two gentlemen. These fellows were there every morning to greet the sun as I was. I would like to say hello again, if you ever reach the end of this pier, please say hello for me!
A saiga roams the steppe in Russia's Kalmykia region, which is a key stronghold for the species, and the epicentre of conservation efforts. The saiga are now in peril threat because of climate change. Due to bacteria that thrive in warmer weather, saiga populations are critically endangered. Poaching for their valuable horns makes the situation much worse. UNDP has supported the conservation efforts of these endangered species in Russia and Kazakhstan.

A 20x20 vig for the Admin contest in the 'Imperial Conquest' group game.
The Imperial Garrison on Kashyyyk was under attack by Rebel forces. Lieutenant Jon and I were both stationed there at the time. The Lieutenant was out in the front lines by the barricade when I saw the Jedi coming. Flanked by 2 Rebel Soldiers, he was a real threat to us. Jon shot one of the incoming Rebels but the Jedi was too fast and was about to strike him down! I took aim with my rocket launcher and fired...
I didn't hit the Jedi but I distracted him long enough for the Lieutenant to shoot him. We managed to stop the Rebels and were quickly rotated off the planet so a stronger garrison force could replace us.
I think that I should be an admin because I have been with the Conquest since the beginning and I have participated in every mission. I really enjoy building the new things that the Conquest requires and I hope to carry on with it for a very long time.

I found a bag of vintage craft felt at the thrift store in November for $.99 and have been using it to make Christmas outfits for Betsy McCall.
I ironed out the wrinkles by placing a wet cotton dishcloth over it and ironing on the wet towel.

This is a larger picture of the seed saver. It is made entirely of canvas. It has a huge round dowel in the bottom to hold it straight and in the top are several grommets where we have hooks to hang the cloth. It was a big job but I'm glad I did it. I made each label on my computer too.
Concept, Digital Imaging and Layout.
This is one of my favourite piece of work. Clean and simple layout, I still like it after 2 years. Haha. Enjoyed putting the animals and trees together on the fading earth.

Here are Arriva Buses Wales VDL Pulsars CX14 BYB 3165 & CX14 BYC 3166 are seen at the Bangor bus station as 3165 is on the route 5 to Llandudno and 3166 is on the route 5C to Caernarfon.
This is a new Chase Bank going up. It is built like a bunker and is waiting for a few finishing touches. I asked a man about the wavy finish and he said he's only the electrician and his job was to simply make it light up.
The fire hydrant you see continually leaking in the previous capture is right beside it. Do we see a pattern here?
These wavy side panels are "Chisled Limestone Corners Cream" and they are simply waiting for the mortar.
I hope the panels don't blow off before they are finished - from the outside so far this bank looks pretty - not sure about how sturdy!

Two abused & abandoned souls. Mr Blondie &
Mr Little Larry the Pipsqueak aka The Monkey.
At this time I was making special frozen food
for the dogs. Take a large pot full of rice and
add bits of pork and chicken even some fish.
Freeze it then deliver said food to the dogs.
Frozen helps clean their teeth and prevents
them from gulping or inhaling their food ;-)-
As you can see,
The Monkey has a terrible "roach back."
When he was dumped at the temple
just like most of the others, his
health was on the decline.
Sick & full of parasites.
Then along came Nina and she
fell in love with Mr Little Larry.
Through her monthly support
The Monkey is a way different
dog today. Racing and playing
his new life is healthy and full
of loving care, soft bed good
food and surrounded by dog
friends also from the temple.
And let's not forget Mr Blondie
who was named and supported
monthly by, Mr Perfesser_Bear
Susan,
Out of Northern Calif supports
Ms Molly, the sweetest dog ever.
While others contribute monthly
to the general care of the dogs.
Now here comes a Huge Big Thank You
to all of you who just sent in donations
to cover the coast for 9 dogs to receive
their yearly double booster injections ;-)-
Susan sent me a flickr mail saying the funds
are on the way. Which means sometime
next week that project will be put into
motion. Any funds left over will help
cover the expense for dog food.
Double boosters doesn't sound like
much but it is a long process to do.
Without going into details please
believe me, out here it's Big ;-)-
So a Double Big Thank You from us 2 U.
Thank You.
Jon&Crew.

This may not be a nature photograph in the truest sense of the word, but there is a big connection. The location is the Peak District moors above Dove Stone Reservoir, The helicopter is busy flying in hay bails which will be used by RSPB staff and volunteers to obstruct some of the drainage channels that have formed on the top of the moors. This will hold water on the moors and, when wet enough, the volunteers will plant sphagnum moss. Sphagnum will help to keep the peat in place and prevent it being washed away and into the reservoir below. It will recreate a blanket bog, which once existed on these moors before pollution destroyed the sphagnum. Blanket bog is an important environment, which not only provides a breeding ground for invertebrates and therefore a food supply for birds, but it also acts as a carbon dioxide trap, absorbing and locking in CO2.
