Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
The secret to a well balanced life is a cup of tea in one hand and a book in the other
Saw the cute saying on pinterest not attributed to anyone. I almost changed book to Kindle but they are the same to me as I read a third of my books on my Kindle app and listen a third on my MP3 player(not pictured)
Been a few year since popped over to Southport - always good to have a wander.

Done for the yellow theme for pakistani photographers group.
significance of yellow: Given that yellow is one of the secondary colours means it's a piece of a puzzle. But when you see it in the real world you tend to miss out on it's significance. You tend to take it for granted. Your bound to notice it in flowers but never get why the smallest and tiniest item in your room seems to brighten it up. Yellow just adds that wonderful effect. Paint a room yellow and u'll surely feel like your bathing in sunlight. Even though it's just another piece in this world's puzzle.
p.s anyone says i's goldenish brown i contest!.... it's a shade of yellow and that's good enough for me now!
Petit intermède artistique avec une des dernières réalisations d'Isa.
N'hésitez pas à zoomer pour mieux apprécier les détails.
Another one of my theme based competition entries (outside of Flickr). Came 15th out of 89.
Not much PP. Light : Outdoor Daylight (morning). The champagne glass, cork screw, some water was lying on a side table in my balcony - hangover from the night before :-). The glass has a light 'ink blue' graduated tint, the stem though green, grows over the glass - hence the blue shade/outline. Background: Tinted glass shutter - with some reflection, kinda had a 360 deg ambient light + dark background. The white may seem a bit bright on some monitors, this seemed appropriate in bringing out the steely effect of the cork screw. Hope you enjoy this.
picked this off the web...' (TWIST-ed) -- Having parts that are spiraling or corkscrew-like '.

The current craze of baking especially cupcakes, or patty cakes as they are traditionally called, is one in a long line of fads in which I have not participated. Colon cleanse, kale smoothies, and hot yoga are a couple of the others. But the rest of the world seems to have adopted baking in all its forms. TV features The Great British Bakeoff with that posh woman judge who wears the black velvet Alice band, and can talk non stop about the minutiae of icing, texture, flavour etc. Even Masterchef, of which I was a devoted follower for its first seven seasons, has a couple of bakers who then have to learn the wide variety of other skills needed ito meet the challenges of the Masterchef kitchen.
I may not follow the fad of baking, but I'm happy to sample the results. 👠 🍰
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and fave my picture.

Bonus Theme - The End
Endings are often bittersweet, and the end of A-Z 2.0 is no exception. It has been an incredible journey with so many creative and inspiring photos submitted to this doll group. Although this theme is not a letter of the alphabet, it is an opportunity for those who joined the group late and for those who simply wish the cycle wasn’t ending to create one last photo. This theme is all about showing us an "ending." Has your doll just finished watching a movie and the credits are displayed on the TV screen? Maybe your dolls are Broadway cast members and they are taking bows after the final act of their performance. Or perhaps an empty wine glass is on a table because your doll has finished her glass of rosé at an intimate dinner. How you approach this theme is entirely up to you. Just be sure we get a sense that something is ending or coming to a close in your photo.

Epcot is the second of four theme parks built at Walt Disney World in Bay Lake, Florida, near the city of Orlando. It opened as EPCOT Center on October 1, 1982, and spans 300 acres (120 ha), more than twice the size of the Magic Kingdom park. It is dedicated to the celebration of human achievement, namely technological innovation and international culture, and is often referred to as a "Permanent World's Fair." In 2013, the park hosted approximately 11.22 million guests, making it the fifth most visited theme park in the world. The park is represented by Spaceship Earth, a geodesic sphere that also serves as an attraction. Epcot was known as EPCOT Center until 1994, when it was later renamed Epcot '94, then Epcot '95 the following year.
EPCOT is an acronym for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow; a Utopian city of the future planned by Walt Disney, often interchanging "city" and "community." In Walt Disney's words: "EPCOT will take its cue from the new ideas and new technologies that are now emerging from the creative centers of American industry. It will be a community of tomorrow that will never be completed, but will always be introducing, and testing, and demonstrating new materials and new systems. And EPCOT will always be a showcase to the world of the ingenuity and imagination of American free enterprise." His original vision was for a model community which would have been home to twenty thousand residents and a test bed for city planning as well as organization. It was to have been built in the shape of a circle with businesses and commercial areas at its center with community buildings, schools, and recreational complexes around it while residential neighborhoods would line the perimeter. This radial plan concept is strongly influenced by British planner Ebenezer Howard and his Garden Cities of To-morrow. Transportation would have been provided by monorails and PeopleMovers (like that in Magic Kingdom's Tomorrowland.) Automobile traffic would be kept underground, leaving pedestrians safe above ground. The original model of EPCOT can still be seen by passengers riding the Tomorrowland Transit Authority attraction in the Magic Kingdom park; when the PeopleMover enters the showhouse for Stitch's Great Escape!, the remaining portion of the model is visible on the left (when facing forward) behind glass. Walt Disney was not able to obtain funding and permission to start work on his Florida property until he agreed to first build Magic Kingdom. He died nearly five years before Magic Kingdom opened.
After Disney's death, The Walt Disney Company decided that it did not want to be in the business of running a city without Walt's guidance. The model community of Celebration, Florida has been mentioned as a realization of Disney's original vision, but Celebration is based on concepts of new urbanism which is radically different from Disney's modernist and futurist visions. However, the idea of EPCOT was instrumental in prompting the state of Florida to create the Reedy Creek Improvement District (RCID) and the Cities of Bay Lake and Reedy Creek (now Lake Buena Vista), a legislative mechanism allowing the Walt Disney Company to exercise governmental powers over Walt Disney World. Control over the RCID is vested in the landowners of the district, and the promise of an actual city in the district would have meant that the powers of the RCID would have been distributed among the landowners in EPCOT. Because the idea of EPCOT was never implemented, the Disney Corporation remained almost the sole landowner in the district allowing it to maintain control of the RCID and the cities of Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista; Disney further cemented this control by deannexing Celebration from the RCID.
The original plans for the park showed indecision over the park's purpose. Some Imagineers wanted it to represent the cutting edge of technology, while others wanted it to showcase international cultures and customs. At one point, a model of the futuristic park was pushed together against a model of a World's Fair international theme, and the two were combined. The park was originally named EPCOT Center to reflect the ideals and values of the city. It was constructed for an estimated $800 million to $1.4 billion and took three years to build, at the time the largest construction project on Earth. The parking lot serving the park is 141 acres (57 ha) (including bus area) and can accommodate 11,211 vehicles (grass areas hold additional 500+ vehicles). Before it opened on October 1, 1982, Walt Disney World Ambassador Genie Field introduced E. Cardon Walker, Disney's chairman and CEO, who dedicated EPCOT Center. Walker also presented a family with lifetime passes for the two Walt Disney World theme parks. His remarks were followed by Florida Governor Bob Graham and William Ellinghouse, president of AT&T.
As part of the opening-day ceremony, dancers and band members performed We've Just Begun to Dream. The Sherman Brothers wrote a song especially for the occasion entitled "The World Showcase March". During the finale, doves and many sets of balloons were released. Performing groups representing countries from all over the world performed in World Showcase. Water was gathered from major rivers across the globe and emptied into the park's fountain of nations ceremonial containers to mark the opening. Located at the front of the park is a plaque bearing Walker's opening-day dedication, as seen above.
Future World consists of a variety of pavilions that explore innovative aspects and applications including technology and science. Future World also serves as the park's main entrance and features the park's iconic landmark, Spaceship Earth, a large geodesic sphere structure which houses a themed attraction inside. Originally, each pavilion of Future World featured a unique circular logo which was featured on park signage and the attractions themselves. The logos, including that of Epcot itself, have been phased out over recent years, but some remnants are still scattered throughout the park; the pavilions are now instead identified by name and recognized by the main attraction(s) housed inside. The various pavilions located in Future World include the following:
Spaceship Earth
Universe of Energy
Mission: Space
Test Track
Innoventions East
Innoventions West
The Seas with Nemo & Friends
The Land
Imagination!
Wonders of Life/Festival Center (Seasonal Operation)
Corporate sponsorships
Each pavilion was initially sponsored by a corporation which helped fund its construction and maintenance in return for the corporation's logos and some marketing elements appearing throughout the pavilion. For example, Universe of Energy was sponsored by Exxon from 1982 to 2004, and The Land was sponsored by Kraft from 1982 to 1993, then Nestlé from 1993 to 2009. Each pavilion contains a private "VIP area" for its sponsor with offices, lounges, and reception areas hidden away from regular park guests. While some pavilions still retain active sponsorships, in recent years several pavilions have lost sponsorships due to lack of interest from partner companies in renewing expiring agreements. After General Electric left Horizons in 1993, it closed for a couple of years, then reopened temporarily while neighboring attractions Universe of Energy and World of Motion were renovated. Horizons closed permanently on January 9, 1999 and was demolished in the summer of 2000 to make room for the opening of Mission: SPACE on October 9, 2003. Metlife sponsored Wonders of Life from 1989 to 2001, until that area was closed. However, the Wonders Of Life pavilion is still mostly intact and is used for both the Flower and Garden Festival and the Food and Wine Festival. Current active sponsorships include the following:
Test Track opened in the former World of Motion pavilion and is currently sponsored by Chevrolet
Mission: SPACE is currently sponsored by Hewlett-Packard
Spaceship Earth is currently sponsored by Siemens which also sponsors the park's nighttime show IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth.
Living with the Land is currently sponsored by Chiquita.
Individual small attractions and exhibits within or nearby the Innoventions pavilions are sponsored by various companies such as THINK presented by IBM, Where's the Fire? and Play It Safe presented by Liberty Mutual, Club Cool presented by Coca-Cola, The Great Piggy Bank Adventure presented by T. Rowe Price, Habit Heroes presented by Florida Blue Cross and The Sum Of All Thrills presented by Raytheon.
