On Sunday afternoon I spent some time cutting all the seed heads off of my dark purple columbine. I ended up with thousands upon thousands of seeds, way more than I need. I sprinkled some along the edges of the woods where I want to get them started and I saved a few for my mom. Since I have so many extra seeds, I figured I’d give some away.
Head on over to my blog for a chance to win the free seeds: chiotsrun.com/2010/07/15/dark-purple-columbine-seeds/
I thought it fitting that someone with a WA state license plate had a bumper sticker about slow driving *and* fuel economy... ;) but curious that they also have a "Get lost in Montana" sticker (where most of the highway speed limits are 75mph for passenger vehicles) and of course, I took this in Montana...
Maybe they come here for recreation? It is a popular tourist spot, if you're into outdoorsy stuff - especially hunting and fishing - and apparently shopping, since we have no sales tax. I regularly see WY license plates as well as Seskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta, and surprisingly often, Washington.

Greenpeace campaigners in London joined forces with a samba band outside the Brazilian Embassy to save the Amazon rainforest. They hoisted a banner saying Save the Amazon and the band played for the embassy staff. The activists were part of a worldwide effort which saw similar activities take place around the world, including Paris, Rome, Berlin, Mexico City and Washington DC. These global activities are aimed to remind Brazils President Dilma Rousseff that almost 80 per cent of Brazilians want the Amazon protected.

35mm film shot of my roommate of 26 years, Pam, holding up an ancient cedar in Cascade River State Park along a small section of the Superior Hiking Trail that we walked.
The expression on our Golden Retriever, Misty's face is priceless. She didn't approve of this tree-holding-up business at all.
Pam died of complications from diabetes on October 16, 2018. She was 62 years old.
RIP, my Wonder Woman! You are already missed more than you would ever have imagined.
The bulk carrier Belasitza is seen here at its berth at the AST Terminal at the Albert dock where it is bringing in a load of Ukranian steel plates which it loaded in a Bulgarian port. After discharging it proceded to the UK port of Tyne.

I know the heroes never had to battle Rancor and save the robots (Just play along with this un-orthodoxed alternate scene plz!)
This one came out much better since I took the "no sun" into account. I used my friend's campfire hearth for a cave setting. I wanted it to look like a habitat for a "wild" and undomesticated Rancor. And like usual...R2 is running off leaving captive C3P0 behind...

One of the biggest advantages to watch a movie on DVD at home is due to the ever rising prices of movie tickets. "Moviegoers can prepare to dig a little deeper into their pockets when they want to see another picture.
Starting Friday, ticket prices at a number of theaters across the country will rise as theater owners try to cash in on a booming box office and healthy demand for 3-D movies like "Avatar" and "Alice in Wonderland" (CBSNews.com, March 2010). Attending a movie at a theater used to be one of biggest American pastimes, but now with the ever-increasing prices, people will choose to stay home. "While the price increases could boost theater owners' already buoyant revenues, some industry watchers think the could also spark a consumer backlash. Studios, theater operators and trade groups have long touted films as a bargain, compared with other forms of entertainment, intensifying their pitch during the recession" (Lauren A.E. Schuker & Ethan Smith, March 2010, Wall Street Journal). Although the recent popularity of 3-D movies is great, it is reflecting on the prices of regular 2-D movies, therefore one might argue that it would be worth it to wait for its DVD release.
