As a single mum with 2 kids, I am very good at multi-tasking! Before I gave up work I could be up, ready and get both kids ready, fed and out the door by 8am!

Slightly edited shot of myself reflected in Amsterdam. Taken with my HTC Desire.

Thank God it's Friday!!! I'm so freakin' tired but also extremely happy, it's been a tough week and I feel privileged that I can already enjoy the sweet fruits of my favorite time, the weekend, the magic time where all work is forgotten and all the fun comes out of its hiding place. I know, I sound like a lazy slob, but that's only because I am! I can't help it, I'm suffering from a severe case of a genetically inferior structure, that forces me to stay home whenever possible, filling the Interwebs with things nobody needs, just so that I don't have to go to the office and make some anonymous rich fat cat somewhere on the planet even fatter and richer, because let's be honest, it's bad for your Karma to accumulate material things for no obvious reason, so I'm really just doing my share to assist the aforementioned anonymous rich bastard dude/dudette in avoiding having to go through endless cycles of death, rebirth, death, rebirth, etc, which makes me a good guy, and my own Karma shine like a polished diamond, lol ;D

... passion's fist against a wall

The crush of a kiss, the rise and fall

Take me there, take me there

To that wounded sound

It's just love's despair

Gone and hit the ground

I discovered this amazing place where the evening light comes through the trees. Finally got around to taking some pictures there. I don't know if anyone else will like this, but I'm really proud of it. These are the first self-portraits I've ever taken that I am truly happy with.

Slightly edited phone cam Selfportrait, shot with the timer of my mobile, reflected in a puddle in Amsterdam. Taken with my C905 mobile phone. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)

Today is my 4th Flickr Birthday, yay! 4 years ago I've uploaded my first shot to Flickr and I never regretted it, manymany good things have happened to me, I've met manymany very nice people online and offline, I've been part of Exhibitions, Museum-events, fashion photo shoots and many other wicked, exciting things because of this lovely website, and I would not want to miss a second of the fun :))

Thank you all so much for making this possible, without you, this would just be another narcissistic, glossy show-off site, a foolish instrument and playground for vain, spoiled people who can't stop posting their ohsopwetty self portraits to the InterWebs, haha ;-D

Have a wonderful day, there's some Champagne over there by the buffet, help yourself!

Not long ago a Flickr friend posted a marvelous close-up straight-on picture of this eyeball painted along a busy two-lane curvy road near Mt. Diablo in northern California.

I HAD to know where it is! I HAD to find it! Well, as you can see, it found me! Spotted along a curvy two-lane busy road while hubby drove 20 mph (we thought we'd get shot for that!) and CharsShots rode "shotgun" and nabbed the eyeball.

Daisy, Jen and I found this reflective dome in the trash last week. This week it is in Daisy's garden.

As former president Teddy Roosevelt puts it...behold it is the "Eighth Wonder of the World." The water originates from underground springs above and at the falls. Even during the dry summer months and at 129 feet in height, the water provides an almost constant flow rate of 100 million U.S. gallons / day.
