I was tagged by my good friend treehugger 007, he said I was a good sport and would do it…he was right! I wanted to take a picture over the weekend but had a terrible migraine for two days! I feel better now, so here it is...this was hard, I am a private person, and didn’t really know what to say and not cross that line! lol
This took me 2 hours to write!
Be well my friends!
This made Explore (not sure why!) xoxo

1.I believe in the goodness of Mankind.
2.I live between Walden (upstate NY) and Brooklyn due to my job in Midtown Manhattan, where I am a buyer for our stores.
3.In business I am tuff, and sure of myself…in real life, I can be shy & get nervous (especially around men) which usually makes me ramble!
4.My Mom died too young (51) of Cancer, and my Nan a few years later, they were my loves, and strength. I still miss them very much!
5.I believe in true love, and believe when you truly love someone, you never stop loving them!
6.I can be a real spas sometimes! :)
7.I know very little about photography, my camera, or any photo editing program. I still shoot in auto, and use Microsoft Office Picture Manager for the little changes I do!
8.A nice smile, and eyes is what truly attract me to a man.
9.I have two grown children that I raised myself, and that I am very proud of.
10.I love the warm sun on my face.
11.I think my daughter’s dog Gizmo is the greatest…he is always happy to see me, and loves unconditionally…people should maybe be more like dogs! lol
12.I am a big kid at heart…serious at times, but still a kid!
13.I try to always think before I speak.
14.All that truly matters in life is who we truly are and how we treat others…nothing else is really ours to keep, but ourselves!
15.When you say you’re sorry, mean it, learn from it…and try never to make the same mistake!
16.I love to cook, and bake, and do it whenever I can. I am good...or so I am told!
Perched on an old willow overhanging St James's Park Lake, London, this young woman had gone out of bounds to have a hands on experience in a somewhat precarious position.
Harold Saxton Burr (neuro-anatomist) discovered the electro dynamic force fields of living organisms. He showed each species and subspecies of plant has its own pattern. He scientifically proved that trees show a daily rhythm, minimum in the early morning and maximum in the evening. Their bio electrical fields react to the phases of the moon and the solar cycle.Trees show an annual rhythm, minimum in april and maximum in september. The turning points of the annual rhythm are the equinoxes. Czech scientist Vladimir Rajda proved that it was possible to heal sick trees by raising their electrical currents back to normal levels. In this context treehugging no longer seems ridiculous. A person's physical distance from the electrically active layers of xylem and phloem is only a few centimetres at most so that real energy exchange is inevitable. So the so called "hippy" treehuggers are not only raising their own vibration and healing themselves but are also helping our trees to be healthy. So get off here and go hug a tree
Photograph taken during the sweltering heat of a record breaking British Summertime, at 15:46pm on Friday July 26th 2013 off Fairview Lane at The High Rocks, in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England.
High Rocks is a 3.2 hectare (7.9 acre) geological Site of Special Scientific Interest 3 km (1.9 mi) west of Tunbridge Wells in East Sussex, England. The site was notified in 1986 under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, and is an important geomorphological site for sandstone weathering features
The location was formed when a melting ice sheet at the end of the last Ice age uncovered hardened silt deposited when the area was part of the Wealden Lake. There are traces of Middle Stone Age and Iron Age residents, including a 1st-century A.D. fort guarding against the Roman invasion of Britain.

Created with fd's Flickr Toys.
These are the most recent 36 photos that I've favourited that I was ABLE to compile together at Big Huge Labs' Mosaic Maker. The distinction is that I was NOT ABLE to compile 11 images because Big Huge Labs says the creators of those images had opted out of Big Huge Labs. One of those creators is Aidan73. Three of her images, which are part of a three image silhouette series she had done, which culminated in this image, could not be included. The other creator, Annie, a.k.a. three & two/thirds, had eight images in my most recent 36 that could not be included, and among them was an image that I think is easily the best abstract I've ever seen on Flickr: crimes of self defence. I'm seriously thinking of buying a print of it, I like it that much!
My previous upload has now been made available only to friends, and those who commented on it have been marked as friends so that they can read my reasons for doing so.
Tomorrow morning, I leave for Atlanta, and my sons are incredibly excited about my visit, as am I. :D As for my next 52 Weeks image, what I had planned for this week is starting to look like it's not going to happen at all. I've been going through a book on surreal digital photography, and the instructions in the book for the effect I was trying to create are so opaque as to make me bang my head against a wall. Either I need to find a different way to do what I want, or that image is not going to happen. Ah well.
I don't know if I'll have the time to upload any images during my absence, so if I can't, then I bid you all a great Tuesday, and a fabulous weekend, as well. I'll be returning late Sunday, and should be back on Flickr by no later than Monday. :D

THE FEATURED ARTISTS
1 - NenePhoto (not a contact, but this Flickr member's got a style that will certainly have me revisiting their 'stream often)
2 - kimrose... (Kim is a contact in California and photos from her 365 project caught my eye long, long ago; so long ago, in fact, that her images dominated my favourites when I first started favouriting images)
3 - ViaMoi (V is a Canadian contact, located in Ottawa, Canada, and his images of insects and water fowl are not to be missed!)
4, 5, 11, 25 & 33 - Robin... (Robin's a fairly recent contact, and I've no idea where she's located, but I can see already - and you can see here, too - that her images are already becoming frequent members of my favourites)
6 & 10 - catklein (Cat's a Californian contact, but her profile says she's on Mars, which works for me LOL! she's beautiful, she's fun, she's funny, and she's got the cutest little girl on the planet)
7 - patjedesmet (a fabulous surrealist in Belgium whose 'stream I love visiting)
8 & 15 - Jomama1152 (Jo is one of my most recent contacts, and I was pleasantly surprised to find several surreal photoshop images in her 'stream)
9 - PhotoArt Hartmann (not a contact, but in Hartmann's stream you'll find lots of high quality images, with many very well done HDR images; HDR is something I'd like to give a try sometime)
12 - Francis Reis (Francis is one of my Brazilian contacts, and her present 365 project has been fun to follow)
13 & 20 - .deep.in.swim. (Jessica has a fabulous surrealistic flair)
14 - d.annie (a lovely Serbian girl in Austria who also has a surrealistic flair; do you see a pattern here?)
16 - p_locascio (P's in Kansas City, and this image of hers is one of my absolute favourite 365 photos)
17 - ~~~schLicht (one of my German contacts who has some gorgeous photos of the German countryside)
18, 27 & 30 - -Shel I Am- (Shel is in Pennsylvania, not too far from where I used to live, and she's far more creative than she gives herself credit for)
19 - Starrsf (a contact in San Francisco who has some great photos of flowers and his cats, but this is my absolute favourite in his 'stream)
21 & 24 - ~ Aaron Reed ~ (a fabulous landscape and nature photographer in Oregon; I bought my tripod head from Aaron, as well as a print of his)
22 - hsalnat (a contact in Singapore who has a bit of a flair for the abstract)
23 - treehugger* (like Shel, Kait also lives in PA; she does very well with conceptual photography)
26 - Elsvo (Els is another Belgian contact, and is the Mistress of Light; she's got a way with portraiture lighting that is absolutely masterful, and her style ranges from the surreal to conceptual)
28 - ::reflecting truth:: (Katie Lee's photography has one of the most distinct and pleasing styles that I've ever seen; she's fabulous with the surreal and the conceptual)
29 - Ronnie Rabena Photography (Ronnie is another Canadian contact, and his skills with Photoshop just leave me green with envy, if you'll pardon the cliché)
31 - Bob Jagendorf (Bob is not a contact, but the image of his that I've included in this montage is one of my absolute favourite abstracts, second only to Annie's image, which I noted above)
32 - rm996s (also not a contact; there was no way I could not fave this abandoned caboose car; I once gave serious thought to buy one, along with a tract of land, to use as my residence; I'm weird that way :P)
34 - JaredPallesen (Jared is a contact in New Zealand; like Ronnie, Jared's got some serious Photoshop skills)
35 - Brian Oh (Brian is not a contact, but appears to be in the DC Metro area where I live, and has lots of great photos of the DC area in his 'stream)
36 - Pareeerica (my favourites could not be complete without any images from the lovely and talented Parée, my one and only Aussie contact; her composites are fabulous and often surreal, and her skill with S2 Wraps is unmatched)

Dear Pablo: I am very disturbed by the massive oil spill in the Gulf. Why didn't BP or the Government just burn it all before it began reaching land? Surely this would have been a lesser evil.
If we weren't there already there before, BP's underwater gusher in the Gulf has our collective eco-anxiety approaching 11. Not only is the scale difficult to comprehend (3,850 square miles as of 4/30/2010) but, unlike the Exxon Valdez spill, this spill keeps on going at a rate of 1,000-5,000 barrels per day. Burning such large quantities of oil would be a dirty proposition, blackening skies and severely impacting air quality in the Southern US, but wouldn't it be better than letting it coat hundreds of miles of beaches, endangered seabirds, oyster beds, and protective barrier wetlands?
At roughly 9.4 kilograms of CO2 per gallon of crude oil, burning the already-spilled 1.6 million gallons (estimate as of 5/2/2010) would theoretically turn it into 15,000 metric tons of greenhouse gasses. This is equivalent to the estimated daily emissions from yesterday's news: the Eyjafjallajoekull volcano in Iceland. Since crude oil is unrefined, contains various impurities, and because open combustion does not achieve ideal combustion conditions, the combustion emissions would also include various undesirable gasses including SOX, NOX, VOCs, particulate matter, N2O and probably some mercury too. But tell that to the birds that will have their feathers tarred, the fisherman that will loose their way of life, and the tourism industry of the Gulf Coast and you will soon realize that burning of the oil would be the lesser evil.
Unlike the gasoline that is distilled from it, crude oil has a relatively high flash point of 140°F. The flash point is the temperature at which a substance can vaporize to form a ignitable mixture in air. In order to sustain combustion the crude oil must be maintained at or above the flash point. Unfortunately the sea surface temperature near the oil spill is in the mid to low 70's and the air temperature is only slightly higher. This means that the additional heat to maintain the combustion needs to come from the combustion itself. Since the oil slick is spread out and quite thin, this surface layer does not contain enough chemical potential energy per square foot to sufficiently heat the oil adjacent to it.
You may have seen that there were attempts made at burning off some of the oil before it reached shore. In order to sustain the combustion, boats with booms were used to corral enough oil to achieve combustion that could be sustained. Sadly, by one estimate heard on National Public Radio (NPR), only about 3% of the oil could have been burned off in this way. To make matters worse, choppy seas have disrupted any burning operations over the last few days and oil has since made it to shore.
