One last image from my trip to Noosa earlier this year, the weather has blown in again here & may put a damper on me getting to the coast this weekend:(

Cozy Chic in the [COSMOS] Zofia Top & Skirt Set – Winter Style Elevated
When I slipped into the [COSMOS] Zofia Top & Skirt Set, it was like wrapping myself in the perfect mix of style and comfort. The sweater top is made of a beautifully soft knit, with a slightly cropped cut that hugs just right, and ribbed cuffs and hem that add a touch of elegance. The pleated skirt is its perfect match—falling just above the knee with crisp knife pleats that move gracefully as you walk. The subtle sheen of the fabric gives it a polished edge, making it the ultimate outfit for any occasion.
To top it off—literally—I added the Tastic Pom Pom Beanie. This isn’t just any beanie; it’s a masterpiece of cozy fashion. Crafted from a chunky cable-knit texture, it offers warmth with a luxe feel. The snug ribbed brim lends it a comfortable and secure look, while the oversized pom-poms on top add a playful, whimsical touch. Whether you choose a neutral color to blend in or a bold shade to pop, it’s the perfect accessory to crown this winter-ready look.
For a seamless blend of style and practicality, I grabbed the Raga Bag by VESTA. Its structured design, gleaming metallic accents, and buttery leather finish elevate the outfit with a dose of sophistication. It’s the kind of bag that makes you feel effortlessly chic while holding everything you need.
Finishing off the look, the Yokana (YK) Nona Boots with Tartan Socks were an absolute must. The boots add a bold, chunky edge, but it’s the tartan-patterned socks that make them irresistible, peeking out just enough to give the ensemble a playful, quirky vibe. Together, they ground the outfit with a perfect mix of comfort and style.
This is my go-to winter look—cozy, chic, and just the right amount of fun. Whether you’re exploring wintery landscapes or hitting up a holiday party, the [COSMOS] Zofia Top & Skirt Set, paired with these standout accessories, will keep you warm and effortlessly fashionable. Trust me, you’ll fall in love with every detail!

1958 was a standout year for Plymouth, and the Fury in particular became a pop culture icon thanks to the movie “Christine” (1983). The real Fury was a rare, high-performance sub-series of the Belvedere, with only 5,303 units produced that year.
The Fury (and its Belvedere roots) featured dramatic vertical tailfins, emblematic of late-1950s American car design. These fins weren’t just aesthetic—they were part of Chrysler’s push to make cars look futuristic and fast. Unlike the red Belvedere in “Christine,” the actual ’58 Fury came only in buckskin beige with gold anodized aluminum trim. The red paint was a creative liberty taken for the film. Chrome detailing was everywhere—grille, bumpers, side moldings.
The Fury packed a 5.2L (318 cu in) V8 engine with twin four-barrel carburetors, producing 290 horsepower. Optional upgrades included a 5.7L Golden Commando V8 pushing up to 315 hp. Plymouth introduced torsion bar front suspension in 1957, which carried into 1958. This gave the car a smoother ride and better handling than many competitors. Buyers could opt for a 3-speed manual, PowerFlite, or TorqueFlite automatic transmission—cutting-edge for its time.
The car’s sinister personality in Stephen King’s novel and, later, in John Carpenter’s film cemented its mythos. Although technically a Belvedere, the car was modified to resemble the Fury for dramatic effect. The car’s cinematic legacy has elevated its desirability far beyond its original market status or aesthetic appeal. Suddenly, the Fury wasn’t just a car—it was a character. Collectors began seeking out Furys and Belvederes to modify them into Christine tributes, driving up prices and demand. Pristine models fetch upwards of $60,000–$78,000.
I took this one a couple of weeks ago at Sussex Prairie Garden. I thought it was hot then. It's hotter now! I'm hoping it will cool down again soon, so I can get back to my indoor photography and remain (relatively) sane. :)
This Coral colored 1964 Ford Thunderbird was a standout in my opinion. Was in excellent condition and the first time the owners had taken it to a car show/
A splash of color to start of the weekend! I really enjoy my Nikon 300mm F;/4 (especially with the 1,7 tc) it gives me a a new way of getting the shot I want and a new perspective at looking at things, as well as framing them. Not to mention the fact that 500mm (effectively if used with the 1,7tc) opens a new world of opportunities quite literally. Thanks for looking/favoring and commenting on my photographs and have a nice -photogenic- weekend.
This little tree's golden foliage has been quite a standout this fall, especially on a dreary day like today.

Shiprock was such an imposing sight that I still cannot get it out of my mind.
I submit this photo for your inspection.

With autumn just around the corner, here is a shot from the archives or a white mum nestled in amongst a group of deep red ones.
