Soooooooo, I can't get my mind off of the fact that I NEED to weed in my gardens! I constantly think about how horrid our yard looks and how I just can't weed right now (due to my neck pain/issues). Hence, all the weeds in my yard are my villain! ! Hopefully I will be able to get out this week and weed a little bit before the weeds completely take over the whole yard.

This is the first time I've attempted a picture like this. I had NO help from my awesome hubby, so be nice with your comments please! What I am trying to convey with this picture is that my weeds are a major stressor and consume all of my thoughts.

I also tried this with a shallower DOF, but didn't quite like how it turned out...I think this subject is better with a bit more detail showing as your eyes move through the frame..

The lovely green grasses appear to be taking over and almost hiding the small archway below the railway line!

exterior of the Queens Theater, one of the remnants of the 1964 World's Fair. I was going to launch into a diatribe about how the decaying remains of the Fair could be seen as an analogy for the state of our Union, but...

well, i got distracted by the squirrel.

Deze über-Mégane Trophy's, gemaakt voor het circuit, maakten gehakt van haast elke andere auto op de baan. Zelfs de 911 GT3's ontkwamen niet aan de inhaalacties van de snelle Renaults. Het was overigens geen race, maar een testdag voor verschillende teams.

These crazy Mégane Trophy's, specially made for the track, took over almost every other car on the circuit. Even the 911 GT3's were not safe for the fast Renaults. It wasn't a race by the way, but just a test day for different teams.

I always love how nature finds a way to take its territory back after a building was there.

Here is the selective color version I posted previous to this...
