This is what I created for my partner for the 100,000th Swap =D Since she likes to read I've cross stitched a bookmark for her and I'm really happy about how it turned out.
Rachel even posted a pic of it on her blog blog.swap-bot.com/2011/11/08/100000th-swap-amazing/ =D
I remember this day.

This species is related to the much-larger (and more common) Cypripedium fasciolatum. Cyp. farreri is significantly smaller and has more of a pitcher-shaped pouch than Cyp. fasciolatum.
Northern Sichuan Province, China.

This week in modeling madness we had to do a versace ad based on the s/s 2014 collection with lady gaga advertised on it. here is my photo! I was late by 2 hours so I hope I do well
Didn't feel like it on Saturday morning being out in shorts!!
Bamford Edge just after the sun popped up, and the hint of mist in the valley.
Good to meet Simon Bull up there as well.
This is what I wrote about this dress 7 years ago...
Easter Dress
My wife surprised me with this dress for Easter. It's from JCPenney girls dept. and I love it. Only problem is once she zips it up I can't take it off myself...Such problems ;)
To see more of this dress and a little of what I wear under it read my profile with a link to my other photo page...
This is without a doubt one of the most challanging pieces I have ever made, but I love the outcome :D
The rose quartz is really stunning and I hope I did it justice.
This is a female of the race versicolor photographed at Baringo, Kenya.
These dry-land barbets nest in holes in termite mounds.

This fractal is a bit similar to some of the weapons the ghouls fire at me...interesting stuff? I was amazed when someone showed me this pic....seen it all before... sometimes sixty of these can be flying at ya up from the hell worlds below ....they don't fly fast but they are a bit deadly ....lolo (sw)
This beach with it's turquoise waters, accessed by two public beach right-of-ways, has a view of Maunalua Bay fronting The Kahala (formerly the Kahala Hilton Hotel), Koko Crater and Koko Head.
It was a bit crowded on the beach today. I counted at least 7 people. Not one of those spots that tourists normally visit.
Under Hawaii State Law, the public has a right of access along the beaches and shorelines in the State situated below the "upper reaches of the wash of the waves." (HRS §§ 115-4, 115-5, Revised 2010). Private homeowners found obstructing existing public rights-of-way to the shoreline, may be fined as much as $2000.
Casino. Pop 10,000. This historic town was named after a pastoral cattle estate on the Richmond River. In early 1840 George Stapleton and Mr Clay took out the Cassino run which Clay named after Monte Cassino in Italy. Stapleton and Clay were unsuccessful as squatters and sold the leasehold in 1844 to Clark Irving who renamed the station with an Aboriginal word Tomki. It comprised 30,700 acres. Irving was the first on the Richmond River to establish a boiling down works to produce tallow from his cattle for the Sydney market in 1847. Irving died in 1865 but his son kept the property. In 1880 most of this estate was subdivided for closer settlement. The district is an important beef region and calls itself the “Beef Capital”. Once a year it holds a “Beef Week” which includes markets, fairs, educational programs, livestock sales and social events including near naked young male body builders showing their “beef” in the Mr Beef competition! The Northern Cooperative Meat Company has an abattoir at Casino.
Casino is the oldest town along the Richmond River. This first settlement emerged in the early 1850s and was known as The Falls. The NSW government surveyed a town in 1853 and later that year a hotel, general store and a rudimentary police station opened. In 1854 the first Courthouse was erected and in 1855 the name was changed to Casino. By 1861 the town had a public school, a doctor and a second hotel- the Tattersalls. In the 1870s more permanent buildings were erected. The Commercial Bank of Sydney opened a branch in 1870; a newspaper began publication; a telegraph station began linking Casino to the world; the first bridge across the Richmond River was built (and a second one in 1908). Selectors came to take up small holdings around Casino after the passing of the Robertson Land Act in 1861. By 1875 Casino could boast an Anglican Church, a school, a Post Office, bank, newspaper, two hotels, saddlery, photographic studio, 3 blacksmiths, slaughter house, Courthouse, four stores etc. A Catholic Church was erected in 1876 and the town had around 600 residents. Once it became a municipality in 1880 the big issues were water supply, kerbing, street paving and drainage during downpours. The first Town Hall opened in 1890 but was replaced in 1937. Drought and three days of temperatures around 47 degrees made the Council do more work on water supply in 1903. One of the far sighted ideas of the local council was to encourage construction in brick rather than easily burnt wooden structures.
Big changes came with the arrival of the railway in 1894. The first wooden railway station opened in 1903 although the railway line from Murwillumbah had reached Casino in 1894. It was 1905 when Casino got a line southwards to Grafton but the Clarence River had no rail bridge until 1932. The Casino to Kyogle line was built in 1910. When it was extended to Brisbane trains could travel from Sydney via Casino to Brisbane from 1930. A new railway alignment and station with refreshment rooms was built in 1930. The old station closed in 1974 and became a museum. Casino has had a roundhouse for engine maintenance since 1928. Undoubtedly the biggest disaster to hit Casino was the Spanish flue pandemic in 1919. The first public hospital in Casino was built in 1886. Although there had been an outbreak of bubonic plague in 1905 the big disaster was 1919. In January 1919 Casino was ready for an outbreak of the flue with a temporary hospital in the showgrounds if needed. In February nursing staff were inoculated and citizens warned of the symptoms. On 5 February some Lismore residents fell ill with the flue and the first death in Sydney was recorded. Street patrols in Casino began late February in case people needed help at home. Confirmed cases were announced in Lismore and Kyogle. A horse race was cancelled and some no longer attended church. On 14th May two cases were confirmed in Casino. On the 21st May the first Casino death was recorded and hospital patients were moved to the Masonic Hall as Spanish flue cases were in the hospital. By then there were 26 cases in Casino. By July 2nd the showground pavilion was also in use for Spanish flue cases. By 9th July there were 150 cases in Casino and 13 people had died. The School of Arts was taken over as another pandemic hospital. Three days later there were 180 cases and 26 deaths. By July 23rd there were 37 deaths from influenza in Casino. Travellers needed clearance papers to enter Casino or leave it. By August the worse was over but 45 people had died out of a few hundred residents but 6,000 people died in NSW. Around 40% of Sydney’s population got the Spanish flue.
Unlike many towns in Australia Casino continued to grow and expand during the depression so it has an array of Art Deco buildings erected in the 1930s. Through much of the 20th century saw milling, the beef industry and slaughtering and dairying were the main economic supports of Casino. Our heritage walk begins at Canterbury Street.
This is about two blocks from the Oldsmobile plant in Lansing, MI. Howard Sober was the releasing agent for Olds and also one of their main transporters. The hauled other makes as well as REO trucks that were also built right down the street. This shot is 1971 or 72?
This was just before the stags locked antlers... they walk side by side then so fast they turn and lock into each other and keep pushing and in this instance the strongest stag 'pushed' the other into the lake...Splash... see images before for the action and surprised look!
This stand alone cottage was where my maternal grandfather was born. It may look quite nice and picturesque here in the present day, but back then in the late 1800s it was more remote and as I understand it, he grew up in fairly challenging circumstances. Despite that. he made it to a grammar school and from there on to university in Oxford. There is a plaque in honour of him on the house, and the housing estate surrounding here that was built subsequently, has all the roads named after his academic associations. On the estate there are Oxford Drive, Cambridge Drive, Harvard Close, Edinburgh Drive, Peterhouse Close, Balliol Close and Wadham Gardens. I did take photos of all those signs but to post them would be rather dull!
I never met him, he died before I was born by a few years, but I made a point of tracking down this location and visiting it.
This is my first attempt at some street, I was only out on the street for about 30 mins. I have yet to build up my bravery hence a lot of photos of peoples backs haha.
This is a very interesting part of Dublin. St. Michael's Church was a Roman Catholic and later Church of Ireland church which was located in High Street, Dublin, Ireland.
The two remaining stretches of the City Wall visible above ground can be seen at St Audoen’s Church and at the nearby Cornmarket

This is strictly a western North America species. They habituate most of the Rockies chain westward... but not normally including the coastal states. The males' nearest lookalike is the eastern Ruby-throated... but that Hummer is in a different Genus. Ruby-throated females have no rufous feathering in the tail area that this gal shows when the tail is spread. While Hummer strays can show up sporadically anywhere, the mapped areas include no overlap for these two species.

This locomotive, scrapped in July 2017 was a reserve Locomotive, primarily used to move "Flirts" or coaches into a workshop in Basel, known as the RKZ. Usually a smaller unit does the job via remote control. Stadler trains are brought here from all over Switzerland to be have their wheels worked on.
This was one of the 14 remaining Ee 3/3s in active service in Switzerland. Their numbers have been declining rapidly over the past few years (136 were originally built).
This is the last photo, I am posting for a while! Have to take my computer in the shop to be fixed and dont know how long that will be before I get it back... I will comment on your pictures when I can! Take Care! xox
This morning I let the gulls enjoy their meal. The result was that I left the hide at 11 a.m. as all the action was already end.
This is one of the 10 Leyland Force 7V that was left for Auction after the rest were stripped and crushed, and this Yellow beast is the last coupe shell produced. Making this one Rare vehicle from Australian Auto History.

This grand riveted iron bridge spans the Illinois River at Spring Valley, Illinois, carrying Illinois Route 89 traffic across the waterway.
This is inside the front of the Milwaukee Art Museum. I'm using a telephoto (85mm) lens which compresses the distance. I also have a view using a wide angle (12mm), which shows the triangles further apart.
This is an Elfdoll Tasha head that I sold recently. I just wanted to paint one! ^^ I like Elfdoll's semi-realistic style. And I tend to feel a lot of their girl sculpts work better as boys. ^^;; So I kinda painted this one like a boy. I hope his new owner will love him!
This Lancia Ypsilon was registered last February. So it is one of the last ones sold outside of Italy. After the failed attempt to sell Chrysler models in Europe as a Lancia Fiat didn't see a future for the brand anymore.

This past Thursday morning was blustery & chilly at Dream Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. I was the first one up there that morning, but right behind me were a couple of guys from St Louis (I think) who had left the day before, driven straight through, arrived in The Park at 4am, & decided to hike up to Dream to photograph sunrise. If you guys see this, it was really great to meet you!
