When I went to the city with my mom today we talked about piercings and tattoos. I am a huge fan of both, she said "if you ever get a tattoo..", yeah, and then she sad something very baaad! :P
I sure will have a lot of tattoos later! (Not really these, but the geisha on the back is cool, I want to haver her ;))
And I already have a belly-piercing, I want to have another oone in my tongue :)
Earlier I posted a shot with some things I don´t like. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kathiisanartistnot/3450700015/in/photostream/) Here things I do like.
When Kerri visited I had these two tea towels for her, knowing she loves tea towels and also loves Mexican food. She thoughtfully left me the recipes by taking this photo with her phone.
So I'm passing them on - they are good ones!
This was taken on Cosmo's first day home in April '07 when he was 8 weeks old. This is my favorite shot from the day. He was tough to photograph, because he was so busy checking out his new home and playing, but I managed to get a few good shots. Most of the others are when he was sleeping because he didn't sit still very long while he was awake.
He is now 14 months old and his eyes are green instead of blue.
Thanks for the nice response, everyone! I got lucky with the timing!
Here's my entire Cosmo Kitty Set.

Düşlerde sevdim seni söyleyemedim
Sessiz öptüm nefesini söyleyemedim
Sana ben şiirler sözler büyüttüm
Sana ben baharlar yazlar büyüttüm
Sana ben hummalı gizler büyüttüm
Söyleyemedim
Şarkılar yazdım sana okuyamadım
Hep yanımdaydın oysa dokunamadım
Söz: Cevdet Bağca.

When I was a little girl, the "charm bracelet" was a very popular accessory. Charms were given at special occasions. I can barely still fit this bracelet on my wrist (luckily I have really small wrists). This is probably the equivalent to a "10 things" for my childhood.
I am posting it for the No Flower Challenge Group I host. This weeks challenge is to post a picture of something PRICELESS to you; something that its sentimental value greatly outweighs the actual monetary worth of the object.
I hope that it will also work for Ms. Cheeky's Week 2 Assignment to focus on the decluttering of a photograph. The background I used here was a hardbound book, placed on a shelf under a window for natural light.
#RememberWhen is the topic for Flickr Friday.
I remember when, before the ball point pen was invented, a fountain pen was the universal writing instrument. Also, since schools aren't teaching cursive anymore, we'll soon be saying, "remember when we used to be able to read and write handwriting?" which, to my way of thinking, is a real tragedy. Cursive is so much smoother to write than printing individual letters, and It pains me to think that our grandchildren may not be able to read the hundreds of handwritten letters and documents that we have saved that chronicle much of our history over the past eight decades.
When a man loves a Wookie
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd trade the world
For the good thing he's found
If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
And turn his back on his best friend
If he puts her down
When a man loves a Wookie
Spend his very last dime
And trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comforts
And sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way, it ought to be
When a man loves a Wookie
I give you everything I've got
Trying to hold on to your precious love
And baby baby please don't treat me bad
When a man loves a Wookie
Deep down in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she is playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Loving eyes can never see
Yes when a man loves a Wookie
I know exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby
When a man loves a Wookie
When a man loves a Wookie
When a man loves a Wookie
When a man, when a man
When a man loves a Wookie

A change in the rates of postage, effective on July 1, 1931, to 3 cents for the 1st ounce or fraction of an ounce, on letters for Canada, the British Empire, the United States, and certain other countries - 13 cents covered both postage and registration on letters weighing not more than 1 ounce.
From April 1, 1943 - a 1 cent War Tax was added to the first weight step preferred letter rate. The preferred letter rate was 4 cents for the first ounce and 2 cents for each additional ounce. 4 cents letter rate + 10 cents registration fee = 14 cents
RED PASS, B.C. to New Westminster, B.C / - 8 / 11 March 1939
3 cents forward letter + 10 cents registration fee = 13 cents.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RED PASS became a hamlet with a general store, school, post office and railway station. The hotel was built in 1924 and later a police barrack was added. Residents of Red Pass would travel east and west on the train. The "road" was unimproved and hazardous until 1962 when the highway was upgraded and the need for Red Pass diminished. Trains could now travel longer distances and did not need the stop in Red Pass for servicing. After 1965, railroaders found new jobs and the police were transferred out. The hotel had burned down in 1949, the post office & general store closed in 1976 and in 1991 the little town ceased to exist.
RED PASS - The railway junction at Mile 27 at the west end of Moose Lake was originally called Resplendent, a name also deriving from the color of the rocks. East of Red Pass, the tracks of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, descending to the Fraser River on route to Prince George in 1912, were kept as low as possible. The tracks of the Canadian Northern Pacific Railway, heading for the Albreda Pass, were kept high. After the consolidation of the railways in 1923 as the Canadian National Railway, Lucerne disappeared as a railway divisional point and Resplendent blossomed as Red Pass Junction, the point where the removal of the separate tracks stopped and where the two lines diverged. During the 1930s, there was a hobo jungle at Red Pass where the vagabonds waited for trains. About 50 people lived at Red Pass in the 1940s. During World War II it was the site of a Japanese internment camp. The Red Pass hotel burned down in 1949. After the highway opened in 1962, the need for Red Pass diminished. CN still uses some buildings at Red Pass. The headquarters of Mount Robson Park were moved from Red Pass to Valemount in 1987. LINK to the complete article - www.spiralroad.com/red-pass-station/
The RED PASS Post Office was established - 1 November 1921 and closed - 29 January 1976, when it was moved to Valemount.

Earl Woodley left Entrance, Alberta in 1920 and opened a hotel and general store in Red Pass, British Columbia. He became Postmaster at Red Pass and served from - 31 May 1923 to - 10 June 1946 - the Post Office was located in his General Store.
EARL FRANCIS WOODLEY - Resident of Mt. Lehman, B.C. since 1950, Earl Francis Woodley, died in MSA General Hospital on March 13, 1979 at the age of 85. Born in Ontario, Mr. Woodley came to British Columbia in 1914 and was employed by the Canadian Pacific and Great Northern Railways during the early part of the century. He also worked in a fur trading post in the north and operated his own general store on the Yellowhead Highway and also in Mt. Lehman prior to his retirement. He was a member of the Jasper Masonic Lodge.

Esbjörn Svensson Trio - When Everyone Has Gone
..I wake up in the morning with chocolate for dreams
I gain the strength to go on amidst the fiery dispute between right and wrong.
I say to myself – what a lucky young man I am indeed.

Taken from quite a distance, zooming in and cropping a bit, I tried to capture the midwinter, midnight flowering that occurs above Oslo when the new year begins.

The most distinctive behavior attributed to the Eastern Phoebe is the 'tail-wag,' in which the bird sweeps its tail widely up and down and then side to side when alighted on a perch. One of the most important factors in the spread of the phoebe into the U.S. is its growing habit of building nests on human structures or under bridges, giving it the nickname 'bridge pewee.' Its migrations follow the insect emergence northward in spring and frost-induced insect decline southward in fall.
The Eastern Phoebe is predominantly insectivorous, consuming mostly flying insects such as wasps, ants, flies and wild bees. Invertebrates such as grasshoppers, airborn spiders, hairworms from the water and even small fishes from shallow water round out their diet. It has been observed that it can survive on fruit when insects are unavailable. Flycatching is its main means of obtaining food, usually done from a perch less than 10 meters off the ground. It also occasionally chases flying insects to the ground, pounces on insects on the ground, and picks insects from trees while hovering. Its most active foraging period occurs in the morning.
I found this one perched on a Loquat Tree limb in my backyard.

Exiting Dearborn Station in Chicago for one of the final times, L&N's Danville Flyer gets underway behind E7A 799. The Louisville & Nashville had only been running this train for about two years when this April 1971 view was taken. The road inherited it from the Chicago & Eastern Illinois in 1969 when the L&N acquired the line's Chicago-Evansville, IN trackage in that year.

Train of the Day
1/3/25
My soul is filled with colors,
but I was bound to the dust.
Encircled by darkness
I slept dreaming of the light,
and I heard it's music in the distance...
It was calling to me.
So I struggled against the despair
and the nothing I had become...
Sensing your silent beauty,
I wanted to feel again...
And it was your passion,
that brought me back to life!
What did you want to be when you grew up? Me, I didn't care. No dreams, just playing video games and watching tv. I think in middle/high school they talk at you a lot about what you should do with your future, but I didn't care about that either. Figured I'd get a job, pay some bills, and be broke. Wasn't a lot different from what I had going on in school.
When it comes to the arts, I just see things that look fun and stumble into them, either learn them or don't, and then go back to living. Art is a dream, or a "calling", or a way to leave a mark on the world for a lot of people, but it's just fun and recreation for me. It's an excuse to hang out with new people and make them laugh, to show them cool things, to make them feel things with stories and words, or to feed them with new recipes. If everything I make disappears one day, that's ok. This stuff is for today; for me to have ephemeral challenges and adventures, and hopefully, for you to enjoy.

In autumn and especially winter, when most herbaceous plants and trees are in an energy-saving, low power mode, mosses are at their best and really stand out. One of the most common mosses in our country is the hair moss Polytrichum formosum (Fraai haarmos). © Tom Kisjes
When I was taking these pictures the women who owns the barn came out and gave me the story. Seems where they live is pretty windy and any flag on a pole would just get torn to threads pretty quick. So back in 1991 her husband found a new way to show the flag without worrying about it getting torn up. Williston, VT
