The lighting was just right when I glanced over while trying to find something to capture in a photo. These bottles have been siting empty ever since we received them. I thought about filling them up, but then I questioned how the whiskey would taste from one of these bottles? We don't consume much alcohol at home, so the whiskey would likely remain there for years in a bottle that doesn't seal properly. Then I pondered, does it even spoil?? HAHA Thanks for tuning in to my TED Talk.

Breathing in, I touch the sorrow I have caused.
Breathing out, I hold it with compassion.
Breathing in, I smile at the miracle of being.
Breathing out, I ask—why not joy?
"Funny"...
So this spare 1/6 scale head is just lying around and he really needs a body. Why not a Lego one? Cyborg Gladiators?...
I'll need to fix the attachment point to his neck; at the moment I feel like it's pushing his head a little too far back, making it look like he's wearing a suit.
I take photos to stop time and space! I captured the moon coming out of new moon phase on the 20th at sunset, I am now going back to that moment of 5:37PM on the 20th at 11:32:59 on the 27th so it is a bit of timewarp and I like to see people smile when they look at a second in time that strikes a cord in them. ;o)
Theodore Roosevelt Branch Library (Closed). Jackson St. side, north of 25th Ave. Most likely built 1930.
Why not in a nice weather even in summer with delightful template temperatures at night ( not all nights ). Affordable pricing? mmm more or less.
Wyaralong Dam is one of our newer dams and sits between Beaudesert and Boonah in what's known as the Scenic Rim of South East Queensland. It's been very wet up here lately and the filling of our dams is one of the positives from our rainy season. You never know when a bad drought will hit, as it did in the early 2000's when dam levels got to their lowest ebb, matched only by severe water restrictions at their highest ebb!
As you can see from this shot taken today, 16 December Wyaralong is spilling, as is Moogerah Dam up the road in the Fassifern Valley.
BTW....there is a pile of Pelicans sitting on top of the dam. What's the correct name for a pile of them.....well, here are your options -
"A group of pelicans is called a pod, squadron, brief, pouch, or scoop"
More NC (Naturey Crap) and I seem to have shot a lot more having been to my parents garden which is seriously laiden with botanicals so there will be more.

Some days I need colour!!!
I am spending a lot of time in the studio at the moment.
A photographer friend asked an interesting question, why do YOU take photographs?
One answer for me is I love the challenge, and it still is!
Now it is still with lighting, reflective objects and making it all work together the way I want it, and still be surprised, ALWAYS thrilled.
A Nylon skipping rope, a prop for a Summer photo, it reminded me of when I was a little girl, then I saw THE image... and then another, and another...
How can I resist that, such superb colours, images just begging to be taken.
Take care, be safe!
THANK you for ALL your comments and visits, so appreciated.
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty, M, (*_*)

Today 17 babies will die, the tragic victims of stillbirth or neonatal death. This is a statistic that is seeing no signs of decreasing, and behind each number is a family rocked to the foundations by the death of their baby.
This shocking figure, the loss of 6,500 babies every year, is something the public is not generally aware of. Most people think stillbirths don’t happen in the 21st century. Yet stillbirth in the UK is 10 times more common than cot death.
Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity, feel this number of deaths is totally unacceptable. They have launched the Why17? campaign to raise awareness of this devastating loss and to ask the question:
“Why are 17 babies a day dying and what can be done to halt this national tragedy?”
1) Follow this link, fill in your details to email your MP to make them aware of the parliamentary launch of Why17? on March 4th 2009: www.why17.org/Get-Involved/Contact-your-MP.html
2) Add your name to the list of supporters (petition) : www.why17.org/Pledge-Your-Support.html

17 families, broken hearted,
A cherished baby too soon departed,
17 mothers' hearts are breaking
Whose arms should have a baby - not be aching.
Now we must ask ourselves - why 17?
Too long we have left this suffering unseen.

“Dlaczego moja głowa ma kształt kwiatu”
(Eng. Why Is My Head the Shape Of a Flower)
inspired by the poetry of H. Poświatowska (excerpt)
English translation by Marek Lugowski
więc pogrzebałam moją miłość w głowie
i pytali ludzie
dlaczego moja głowa ma kształt kwiatu
i dlaczego moje oczy świecą jak dwie gwiazdy
i dlaczego moje wargi czerwieńsze są niż świt
---
so I buried my love in my head
and the people asked
why is my head the shape of a flower
and why do my eyes shine like two stars
and why are my lips redder than dawn
