You all know that I'm much more active when it comes to dressing up nicely, taking photos and videos when it's warm and sunny. So yeah, there are lots of outfits of summer 2017 that I'm going to show here.
However, I still have outfits from 2016 on my computer.. and I felt it would be a waste to not post them!

Winter Solstice leaves yeti pretty juiced up and sometimes they get a little carried away and carry away young ladies and pay them close attention.
When the demands of life seem all consuming it's memories of places like this that I go back to; The wide open spaces where my thoughts roam free, lost in the distant glare of a setting sun.
Buzzy fried my brain today talking to me about solargraphy. So if my post tonight seems short, thank him.
This is a pinhole shot I made inside the Ira Keller Fountain a couple of years ago, that finally resurfaced in my efforts to digitally archive my negatives.
My lack of posting has been terrible the last wee while and for that I must apologise.
I've had a pretty good week this week compared to last when everything seemed to be going wrong!!!
I received a lovely email from this guy informing me that they were talking about flickr on Spanish tv and that I got a mention so wooooo hooo for that!
I've been asked to do my first wedding in June which I'm excited and nervous about!!! I was also very happy, shocked and surprised at the amount of comments on my last pic and delighted that it made explore. So all in all it's been a really lovely week for me.
I also want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has commented on my pics, been here from day one and for all the emails of encouragement that have been sent my way.
When we returned from our last alarm on Saturday morning, I noticed this little colorful tree on the side of the hospital's car park.
It made my day - isn't it beautiful?
Can't believe that this made it to Flickr's "Explore" #46 on 14 October 2012.
It was one of those moments that I can't get over when we stood in front of this bridge (Rainbow Bridge) on the first evening after arriving of our trip to Japan as night fell over Tokyo. I so desperately wanted an atmosphere like this over a city that seems endless to me and that never sleeps. I could still feel the jet lag and was a little unsteady on my feet, but I didn't want to miss this sight and it gave me new strength that literally inspired me that evening. We spent two nights in Tokyo at the beginning of our trip to be able to deal with this jet lag better, because our hotel was not far from the airport. This night, which quickly fell over Tokyo, was simply fantastic and so beautiful. Everything fit together and last but not least, just before we were about to leave, these small illuminated boats came and decorated the area around the Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo with their colorful lights. What a sight, what a gift. This amazing looking bridge was one of my biggest wishes for Tokyo, a city full of surprises and vibrant life even at night. But it seemed to me that the nights in Tokyo had a calmer, more peaceful atmosphere, especially because of the many lights and colors that even lit up the night sky a little. At least that's how it seemed to me. I will remember this one night fondly, because one of my big dreams and wishes came true on this location. Although I'm not really a fan of big cities - I avoid them wherever possible - the sight of the Rainbow Bridge fascinated me immensely and I was even able to enjoy a few moments in silence in this city of millions. How strange the world is sometimes and full of big and small surprises hehe...
Well, our trip through Japan – the most friendly country I know - was full of moments of happiness. That's how I felt from the beginning, because many encounters and experiences seemed to me as if someone was guiding us with a kind hand. The weather during these two weeks was simply a dream. Sunshine and warm temperatures made it so much easier for us and we enjoyed every moment in the land of the rising sun. Even in the big cities like Tokyo, Hiroshima or Osaka I felt very comfortable and above all absolutely safe. The great kindness of the Japanese people always put a smile on my face and I was amazed so many times at how helpful and patient they were with all of us. That alone was more than worth a trip to Japan. The many friendly encounters with people filled my heart with so much joy. In addition, the whole trip was very well organized by my eldest son and his lovely Japanese wife, which made things so much easier for us and without whose help we would probably still be at a train station somewhere in a big city.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank both of them for their fantastic work. I will tell you more about them in the following pictures from our trip through Japan and of course about their wonderful wedding.
In the meantime, I hope that you, my dear friends, enjoy the night picture of Tokyo and have a little patience with me until the next photo, which I have to choose with some effort from the over 1200 pictures that I took in the two weeks we enjoyed Japan.
No path is long with a friend at your side.

The store next to the Sun Theater, Fortino's, has been there seemingly forever as well. The store's facade is the same color scheme as it was when I first moved to Grand Ledge. While much of downtown Grand Ledge has changed over the years, certain businesses have not.
When you ask railfans what they know about Marquette they know three things, 1. We used to have that "cool" painted 3001 in a PM inspired paint scheme, 2. we have a swing bridge, and 3. the Muskegon River bridge in Newaygo. Well lets skip the first two and go to number 3, the Muskegon River bridge in Newaygo sits at the bottom of two grades that are both over 1% and last for over 3 miles each, it is the definition of up hill both ways. During the PM steam days it was actually a helper district and most freights would require a shove up the hills.
For the MQT the most difficult part of the river valley is for southbound trains working their way to Grand Rapids as 85-90% of all loaded traffic goes south with the rest of the loads being local work or loaded lime that goes north, the helpers died with the steam engines and today the railroad tries to provide enough horsepower to make the southbound hill without doubling but sometimes you just can't avoid it. For the most part all the southbound trips are made in the day which is nice and makes for a nice day of chasing but on this day, traffic got delayed and the normal daytime move became a very very late night scene.
With a heads up that the train would be coming south, I timed my trip home from GR with the southbound departure of the train out of Baldwin. I got to Newaygo about 30 minutes before the train and armed with 6 flashes I quickly set up and rearranged until it looked perfect. The wait wasn't too long and soon I could hear engineer Bill blowing for Dan the Dam man just north of town, with dynamics howling as he eased the train down the hill. With the train 1/2 way on the bridge and an itchy trigger finger I had to tell myself to wait, wait and wait some more until the train was right where I wanted it, Click, pop, and spent. The power was quickly out of view and Bill would soon come out of dynamics and start to dig in for the climb up the hill. It took me a few minutes to look at the results and I am very happy with them. I will have to retry this wish a solid Orange set but for a first time try I'll take it. With this successful shot It gave me a good Idea in what the possibilities now are with my flash equipment and has given me the bug to go out and shoot more.
When I was eight years old I made such a fuss over the fact that my sister got a new Easter dress every year and I wore the same old boys suit. I was so persistent that Mom finally got me my first Easter dress with shoes, anklet socks petticoat, a little purse and bonnet. On Saturday morning I went with her and my sister to the salon and I let them curl my long hair. I stayed in that dress all Easter weekend and knew it was something special that I would do again. The girls got over the initial shock of me in a dress and I had a ball at the Easter egg hunt and found the most eggs!

a superb recreation at the East Lancashire Railway on the 11 March 2016. A young boy has been allowed to visit a shed in steam days and looks up to the Steam train driver he aspires to bev
Just a simple little teaser for my Spartan-Verse Catwoman figure. Her design is a little simple, and I'm going for a COMPLETELY different approach on this figure. In other news, Scarecrow is coming slowly along, I actually started working on Batman *Applause!*, and I'm waiting for a lot of bigfigs (to customize) to come in the mail. Thanks for looking! :)
P.S. if all goes well, I should be uploading picture of the finished figure tonight.
When feeling a little sad or under the weather the best pick me up, for me, is a nice long walk and to breathe in that great fresh air!

When the groom goes to pick up the bride from her house,
the daughter crying, because he leaves forever his father's house,
and until she goes to the groom's house, she is very sad.
But there she dances with her beloved,
and finally smiles at her new life!
When i was small, i heard a poem like this:
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

While he was at rest, something strange happened. A sprout began to form at the top of his back and in his time of meditation he became consumed by something of nature. He was in the confines of his home, but it still somehow was able to creep into his pores. The mushroom spore locked into his skin and began to spread throughout his body. His time here was very short as the decomposition process began.

When I said Shoot, I was making a rhetorical comment about me not having change for a tip; Not Shoot up the place, because it's time to get going.
. . . post another oldie! Opportunities for new pix have been scarce, but hopefully that will change soon. Hope everyone is enjoying the advent of autumn!
When my Lucifer flower blooms it is a busy time for the hummers and me. I set up my big lens on the deck get out my most comfortable chair a bottle or two of top shelf aiming fluid a few Cuban's....cigars a good book and then sit and wait. It doesn't take long before they come in and gorge on the pollen while I blaze away burning up the mega pixels with the camera set to machine gun mode.
When I look at pictures I have made, I have forgotten what I saw in front of the camera and respond only to what I am seeing in the photographs. ～ Minor White
P.S. Non-HDR.
When doing watercolor I spend a lot of time cleaning the brush...and changing the water. (And I'm super excited to think I've made it half way through the year and I've managed to incorporate watercolor every week!)

When you feel lost and about to give up (to give up)
Cause your life just ain't good enough (just ain't good enough)
And your feel the world has grown cold (has grown cold)
And your drifting out all on your own (drifting out on your own)
And you need a hand to hold, darlin
reach out come on girl reach out for me
reach out reach out for me
I'll be there to love and comfort you
And I'll be there to cherish and care for you
