alternative title - honest doc
as in honestly doc, I wasn't snorkelling.. I'd left the camera/underwater housing, mask and fins at home so I wouldn't be tempted but it was very hot and so I went for a paddle.
I saw quite a number of species including a big eel and these tiny blue fish.

I was on a flight back from Las Vegas that stopped over in Minneapolis for a connecting flight. For the three hours while I was at the airport I took photos.
I don't expect everyone to understand what I'm trying to do here, I agree it can be pretty boring on first or second glance. There's no pretty trees or glorious sunset, that's just not my cup of custard. This is the sort of thing I like to do, that I enjoy watching. Moments like this in airports are everywhere and just not explored enough.
It's a social documentary in a photo, the title probably gives that away. This is the sort of scene that I wait and wait for. Being in the right position to take a straight on, or 2D picture that has depth. In some ways, very similar to the very first upload on this stream.
Things I'd like you to notice: The appropriate use of thirds, subtle reflections and lack of any distortion at the edge of the frames. But mostly, I'd like you to make your own mind up about it and tell me what you notice that I may have not.
I'd also like to mention Arty in the same breath. It is reminiscent of his quirky Martin Parr like style street photography, although he doesn't lack the words that I do.

The third time my father touched me is another bare butt story.
We had moved to the new (old, much renovated) house in the middle of the block between 8th and 7th, a block up towards the cemetery and a block further away from downtown, the block with Wall on the south and Taylor on the north. We hadn’t been in the new house very long when one morning Julie woke up covered with measles bumps. I guess she was covered with measles bumps: I don’t remember seeing her. I suppose she stayed in her bedroom. And Papa would not have had a hard time diagnosing measles.
So Julie’s sick with the measles and what does Papa do? He pounds on my bedroom door and tells me I have to get up. Put a housecoat and some slippers on and let’s go. We’re going out to the garage and he’s going to give me a shot of penicillin, and then he’s going to work. Well, he says something like that. The penicillin was in the refrigerator, our family stash. I never thought to investigate and see what else was in there.
So we go out to the garage and I’m standing there, facing the house, and I pull down my pants, and my father maybe cleans the spot with some rubbing alcohol, and sticks the needle in, I mean, your average ordinary, garden-variety shot. A little prick, maybe a small sharp ache, boom, done, shot over.
And that’s it, that’s the story—the time my father gave me the shot in the ass. The third time he touched me. I wish I had something more to tell you.
Well, as a matter of fact, I do have something more to tell you. It’s a minor digression. I mean, minor in that I don’t think we’ll spend a long time dwelling on it.
I was up at my father’s office, and I needed a shot for something. I don’t think I was sick, so it must have been like a booster shot, or some kind of vaccination. But my father was busy, or maybe that was just the kind of thing he delegated, when he had the choice.
His nurse was going to give me the shot. I think he had a receptionist, and he may have had a second nurse. But this one nurse was going to do it. And she was a tall, well-proportioned, very attractive blonde. Not cute, or pretty so much as very very attractive.
But all this seven- or eight-year-old me took in at a glance, because she was also commanding, in very pleasant tones, confident, self-possessed. So I had my back turned and I had my pants down and my hands on my knees, and she used the rubbing alcohol to disinfect a spot on one cheek, and then I’m waiting, and I’m waiting. And finally I say, “When are you going to give me the shot?”
And she says, “I already have.”
And that’s it, a little lagniappe, the story of the commanding, confident, very pleasant, tall, blonde, and very very attractive nurse who gave me the best shot I’ve ever had in my life, a shot so good I didn’t even know she’d given it to me.
Penelope (the one who is cutting) speaks: “Look it’s easy Susie! A third for me, a third for you and a third for Hazel. There is no need to leave anything for your brother! And he won't be home for ages anyway”
Oh dear! LOL!
And do please forgive me for bending the prompt somewhat too! LOL! ((hugs))
ADAD September
A heads up from a friend informed me that the Grafton and Upton would be making their third revenue run over the Milford Industrial Track with two loads for Bluelinx in Bellingham. So instead of doing the responsible thing and having breakfast and then going to bed so I'd be rested for work that night I did the opposite and headed to Milford!
The one shot I wanted above all else was them swinging through Bellingham Junction, but when I got there I found the fresh snow u undisturbed so continued on up the line. I found them just as they were departing from the junction in Milford where their historic owned property meets this former New Haven branch line.
On a brilliantly cold clear winter day it was worthy of a little chase and I got them at three spots before they got to Bellingham Jct. where unfortunately they derailed ending my chase for the day as seen in this photo posted earlier: flic.kr/p/2kANeRg
Anyway, here was the first spot on the chase as the pair of pair of patched ex CSXT nee SCL MP15ACs (EMD blt. Feb. 1978) numbers 1191 & 1160 cross Howard St. at MP 35.5.

I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies, that you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand, I would understand
The angry boy, a bit too insane
Icing over a secret pain
You know you don't belong
You're the first to fight
You're way too loud
You're the flash of light on a burial shroud
I know something's wrong
Well, everyone I know has got a reason
To say put the past away
Wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand, I would understand
And well, he's on the table
And he's gone to code
And I do not think anyone knows
What they are doing here
And your friends have left you
You've been dismissed
I never thought it would come to this
And I, I want you to know
Everyone's got to face down the demons
Maybe today we can put the past away
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies
That you've been living in and if you do not want to see me again
I would understand, I would understand, I would understand
I would understand
I would understand
Understand
Can you put the past away?
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
I would understand
Detail from the 'Narcissus Garden' by Yayoi Kusami at the Beyond Limits exhibition at Chatsworth House Gardens, Derbyshire. I like how the reflections of the trees in the spheres also look like ghosts (contrast increased and black and white conversion helped). Perfect for Halloween.
The Baroness is here!!!! When La Femme collection was announced Agnes was the third doll I liked the most, with Eugenia being the first and Elyse the second. I preordered her without hesitation because, in general, I like short haired dolls and I like the screening they chose for her. I was soooo excited to get her!!!!
Hair/Makeup: As far as I recall, Agnes was never in FR white color, this is the first one. Also, she is the first Agnes with short hair. Have to admit, I am not too crazy about the hairstyle in person. Although she has tones of product in her hair, it still looks bulky. I think she she is too heavily rooted. The right side of her head looks better as it has less hair, the right one is a bit problematic. As I got her several days ago, I already washed her hair and she does look better IMO, will post photos. Maybe if they used Exquise Adele's hairstyle... Now, her face left me breathless!!! Those red lips and turquoise eyes!!! She also has a hint of silver eyeshadow, which makes this color combination my favorite, stunning! She looks very classy and elegant. I also adore her eyebrows! Her face is a perfection, I wouldn't change anything, but I have to penalize for the hair. 9.5/10
Outfit/Accessories: I wasn't too impressed with the outfit when she was announced, but in person it looks quite nice. The skirt was the least favorite piece, but it is very nicely made and it is fully lined with a mesh material. It looks very haute in person. The blouse is also nicely constructed, but I am not sure about the material they chose. It looks artificial and shiny in person. I am no expert in materials, so I can not tell which one they used. Now, the surprise, the blouse does not close on the back!!!??? It doesn't close at all. Yes, you will have to remove it over her head. I got it, they wanted have a clean look on the back, because of the short hair. But, I am not sure this is a good choice for short haired doll, because you will mess her hair if you remove it a few times. She comes with the same belt they used for Exquise Adele, it looks very nice, but it is a nightmare to put on. The new closures are not good choice for the belts IMO, the old ones closed better. The shoes are the weakest link here. Very basic black sandals, with long black strings. The strings look very basic and cheap, not like the ones they used for Coquette Jordan. Though they do have red soles and silver heels, which is a nice touch. Now, the necklace is everything, it looks very nice when you put it on. She comes with a coordinated ring and earrings, as well. Very nice jewelry. The leopard bag brings a bit of drama in this look. The execution is amazing, it closes with small silver zipper and looks very nice in person. 9/10.
Overall: It is all about the screening and the face when it comes to this Agnes. She will be very cherished here. As the outfit is a hit or a miss, I would suggest to get her nude, as she really looks beautiful! 9/10

This Wright Streetlite DF (Door-Forward) is seen reversing in order to depart the 3rd Buses Festival, held for the third year running at the British Motor Museum (BMM), Gaydon. SM65WML was new in December 2015 to Midland Red West but on-loan to sister Midlands Depot Abbey Lane, which is a part of the Leicester operation. It wears branding for the 44 (Worcester County Hall-Great Malvern).
Occasionally, the third marriage is a charm! I came out of retirement for this bride. She and her groom had a beautiful outdoor wedding with lots of family to cheer them on.

Ayumi was unlucky in the recent Sexy Diva contest - one meagre vote!
She deserved another opportunity to shine.
It is said that blondes have more fun, but do they achieve less success too? ;-)
Nah. :-)

The third section (!) of Santa Fe’s 981 train hustles through Wilbern, Illinois, on June 26, 1993. Sometimes Santa Fe could put on a really great show and run trains like streetcars!
