When Véronique first spotted Kesenia at a vernissage at her favorite art gallery in Paris, she instantly recognized
that this enigmatic yet ultra bright smile of hers would be destined to become a trademark.
Of course, Véronique Perrin is never wrong and months after that faithful encounter,
Kesenia would turn out to become the best piece of modern art that Ms. Perrin had ever scored at that little gallery!
These may seem a little odd, but yesterday morning turned out to be very, very interesting for me.
I was just working on my comic at my computer, hearing the local bus (#80) that runs past the front door of my house coming up the hill, when all of a sudden there was the most outrageous bang followed by the bus stuttering for power, it then limped to a halt outside my front drive in a fog of acrid black smoke, whereupon the driver immediately opened the engine bay door and started dousing the street with sand from what had apparently been a fuel leak.
Passengers were unloaded, and Country Bus sent up another two buses to cover. Eventually their engineers arrived in their company coloured LDV Convoy, as did a local hero of the roads, the Count of Heathfield, a gigantic tow truck used to rescue HGV's and Coaches.
The bus is a 2004 Dennis Dart SLF with SC Coachbuilders body, and is a regular on this route. I overhead one of the engineers mentioning something to do with the 'Big End', which is part of the Connecting Rod, and connects to the bearing journal on the crank throw.
When I asked as "May I take your picture?", he simply replied "No problem".

When I started photographing cars for Askja, the dealership for Mercedes-Benz, more than 4 years ago I was soon asked to photograph the new Mercedes-Benz GLE. I totally fell for it and now, more than 4 years later, my dream has come true. I absolutely love this beauty.

This is an archive photo of one of the cubs. They have grown considerably bigger by now but I still love posting pictures of them when they were tiny. They are so adorable. I have to get back to the zoo soon. It's so hard on me when its cold because of my physical problems. My hubby has been busy working on my computer and with thanksgiving and life my time has been even less on Flickr. I'm sorry that I have been missing in action and missing so many of your pictures. I don't know that I will be in a situation to be on Flickr a lot for now. I'll do my best to stop by here and there. I love Flickr and all of you so please don't give up on me. There will be a time when I will be able to come back in full force. Busy plus physicaly challenged sorry to say. Thanks for all your continued friendship and support. Your all the very best! Hugs ♥♥
This one brought a smile to my face, I love it when they turn ther heads when you are photographing them, he looks very happy indeed here, again taken with the reversed 24mm lens.
Post mill (Dutch: Wipmolen - German: Kokerwindmuehle) De Blokker at the Blokweer Polder at Kinderdijk-Elshout, Zuid-Holland (South Holland), Netherlands
Some background information:
The windmills at Kinderdijk are a group of altogether 19 windmills in the Alblasserwaard polder, in the province of South Holland, Netherlands. Almost all mills are part of the village of Kinderdijk in the municipality of Molenwaard, but one mill, De Blokker, is part of the municipality of Alblasserdam. Mostly built in 1738 and 1740, to keep water out of the polder, it is the largest concentration of old windmills in the Netherlands and one of the best-known Dutch tourist sites. The mills are listed as national monuments and the entire area is a protected village view since 1993. The mills have also been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.
The post mill De Blokker on my picture is the 19th mill in the ensemble. It was already built in 1521. De Blokker burned down a few times, for the last time in 1997, but in 2001 it was completely restored. Today De Blokker is one of the windmills at Kinderdijk, which is still operational.
Kinderdijk lies in the Alblasserwaard, at the confluence of the Lek and Noord rivers. In the 13th century problems with water became more and more apparent in Alblasserwaard. Large canals called "weteringen" were dug to get rid of the excess water in the polders. However, the drained soil started setting, while the level of the river rose due to the river's sand deposits.
After a few centuries, an additional way to keep the polders dry was required. It was decided to build a series of windmills, with a limited capacity to bridge water level differences, but just able to pump water into a reservoir at an intermediate level between the soil in the polder and the river. The reservoir could be pumped out into the river by other windmills whenever the river level was low enough. The river level has both seasonal and tidal variations. Although some of the windmills are still used, the main water works are provided by two diesel pumping stations near one of the entrances of the windmills site.
No longer being of use for bridging water level differences, some of the windmills were converted into private residences. Their owners keep them in good repair, gird them with beautiful, well-groomed gardens and therefore make them a lovely sight.
Kinderdijk is a village in the Netherlands, belonging to the municipality of Molenwaard, about 15 km (9 miles) east of Rotterdam. The name Kinderdijk is Dutch for "children dike" and derives from a folktale which is said to have been occurred during the Second Saint Elizabeth Flood of 1421.
In the course of this flood, the farming region Grote Hollandse Waard flooded, but the Alblasserwaard polder stayed unflooded. It is said that when the terrible storm had subsided, someone went on to the dike between these two areas, to see what could be saved. In the distance, he saw a wooden cradle floating on the waters. As it came nearer, some movement was detected. A cat was seen in the cradle trying to keep it in balance by jumping back and forth so that no water could get into it. As the cradle eventually came close enough to the dike for a bystander to pick it up, he saw that a baby was quietly sleeping inside it, nice and dry. The cat had kept the cradle balanced and afloat. By the way, this folktale and legend has been published as "The Cat and the Cradle" in English.

When Life Gives You Limoncello: A collaboration with punchandfable.com's Steph Sheahan and her yellow bicycle, Limoncello
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
Blogged. Or, rather, SF à gogoed.
Oh I cannot believe I just lifted a Journey line for my title. I am going to hate myself for that in the morning.
It's cool though, because the GIGANTES were winners tonight! Yeah baby. So glad baseball is back. Missed it. Missed it so much. Ready for basketball to be done, even though I am quite glad that the Warriors managed #22 tonight. It's the little things that count.
Anyway, I mostly liked the light in this one. Not so much the crazy sparkles above the Bay Bridge from my filter, but other than that. Colors are SOOC - the only photoshopping was the photomerge because I am quite sleepy. Yay SF.
No yay for tomorrow's apartment hunt extravaganza, but it has to start somewhere.
As usual, big on black is the way to go. I actually tried this once before, but it was way less successful. Such is the Rebel, you know?
Also? One week to D&Sing! Yay!

I shall live on a hill overlooking my vineyard in Sonoma County; close enough to drive to the Pacific Ocean on a sunny day and near the redwoods to escape from the heat on a hot day.
View On Black to see my new young vines in my (imaginary) private vineyard....
WHERE WILL YOU LIVE WHEN YOU WHEN THE LOTTERY????
