Haven't taken much photo of Maggie since I gave her a new face.
I really like her in this black dress. Don't who made it, but it was a gift from dear Laura. Thank you Laura:)
I really love the translucent face, how her tone changes against different lighting.
Nictitating membrane - A whitish or translucent membrane that forms an inner eyelid in birds, reptiles, and some mammals. It can be drawn across the eye to protect it from dust and keep it moist.
Sometimes the sunlight shines through Etta's ears and leg ... I've not been able to capture it so I thought I'd try with my phone.
It's a very horrible, wet, cold, grey day here! So being a bit creative ... not sure Etta appreciates my attempts :)

A beautiful Dahlia, Variety "Comet," in the Dahlia Garden at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum State Park on Long Island. In Picasa, I raised the shadows, fill ight and highlights to get this effect. It's amazing how late these beautiful flowers last! Please view on Black.
The garden is maintained by the Long Island Dahlia Society. You can visit this great arboretum at www.bayardcuttingarboretum.com, and you can find the Society at www.longislanddahlia.com.
This is a combination bookmark, ruler, and magnifier which has a lovely message too. The pink/red is actually an apple.
Lego monochrome figures. They look cool but do not know much about them except these all have the Lego logo on their various pieces.
The north tower of the Golden Gate Bridge in the fog, taken from the Marin Headlands a little after sunrise.
I like the softness, the near-monotone look, and the way the top line of the bridge cables runs parallel to the lines of fog above and below. But I may be in the minority on this one - when I showed it to a buddy of mine, he winced and shook his head.
One weekend I went to visit friends in Kallista in the Dandenong Ranges to the East of Melbourne. In their garden they grow Nasturtiums.
This bloom, basking in the sun, shows how beautifully translucent the petals of the flowers can be, catching aflame in the sunlight.
Nasturtium is the common name for Tropaeolum, which is also known commonly as Nasturtian. Nasturtium translates literally as "nose-twister" or "nose-tweaker". It is a genus of roughly eighty species of annual and perennial herbaceous flowering plants. Native to South and Central America, the genus includes several very popular garden plant. The Nasturtium's leaves and flowers are edible: the leaves having a hot onion-like taste and the flowers a sweetness.
Kallista is a pretty little village in te heart of the Dandenong Ranges with an appoximate population of 1,400 people. Along with the other towns of the Dandenong Ranges, Kallista is celebrated for its picturesque natural setting, wealth of heritage and luxury houses and gardens, and country atmosphere all within commuting distance to inner Melbourne. The Post Office opened around 1902 and was known as South Sassafras until 1925. Australian Impressionist artist Tom Roberts lived in Kallista between 1856 and 1931.
Australian poet and author C. J. Dennis wrote much of his "The Songs of a Sentimental Bloke" in Kallista between 1913 and 1914 at a grand property called "Sunnyside" (sadly long since burned down). In the early part of the Twentieth Century, Kallista was a a distant holiday hill town popular with wealthy Melbournians who wanted a country escape. It wasn't really until the Great Depression when the wealthy could no longer afford the upkeep on their holiday homes and sold them, that a more permanent populace moved in, hoping to live off the rich soils of the area. Today Kallista still carries an air of exclusivity with large blocks, many old houses and large blocks of land filled with stunning gardens.
