This was a cake for a dear friends daughter, for her baptism last weekend. I had forgotten to take a photo so she was kind enough to send me one.
What a nightmare this cake was! Isn't it funny how we can get ourselves in a right state worrying about a cake when its for a friend in a way we never would for a client. Firstly the cakes didn't rise as well as they normally do, so i was paranoid that it didn't look tall enough. Then every third butterfly i made either fell apart or wouldn't stick to the cake, there was clearly another one bit the dust on the bottom right hand side of the cake.
Then i worried it was TOO pink. Still after all that, they absolutely loved it. Phew, so relieved.
HAPPY WINDOW WEDNESDAY(S) !
Well, only a bit of the actual window shows (upper left). However, the shutter and the androgynous little metal shutter keeper are certainly window stuff.
I think this is interesting on a composition level, but as per the caption, I am worried about the wires. It seems it wouldn't take much to create electrical trouble.
What if the wire insulation deteriorates more and some snow or wet debris connects the shutter keeper to both window wires? I wonder if I am beginning to sound like the world's most famous worrier about little things, Woody Allen.

Have a great weekend you all!!!
Cayo Largo, Playa Maltiempo. Cuba.

It's rainin' but there ain't a cloud in the sky
Must of been a tear from your eye
Everything'll be okay
Funny, thought I felt a sweet summer breeze
Must of been you sighin' so deep
Don't worry we're gonna find a way
I'm waitin', waitin' on a sunny day
Gonna chase the clouds away
Waitin' on a sunny day
Without you, I'm workin' with the rain fallin' down
I'm half a party in a one dog town
I need you to chase these blues away
Without you, I'm a drummer girl that can't keep a beat
An ice cream truck on a deserted street
I hope that you're coming to stay
I'm waitin', waitin' on a sunny day
Gonna chase the clouds away
Waitin' on a sunny day
Hard times, baby well they come to us all
Sure as the tickin' of the clock on the wall
Sure as the turnin' of the night into day
Your smile girl, brings the mornin' light to my eyes
Lifts away the blues when I rise
I hope that you're coming to stay
I'm waitin', waitin' on a sunny day
Gonna chase the clouds away
Waitin' on a sunny day
Aspettando Un Giorno Di Sole
Sta piovendo ma non c'è una nuvola nel cielo
dev'essere una lacrima dai tuoi occhi
tutto andrà bene
divertente, pensavo di aver sentito una dolce brezza estiva
devi essere tu che sospiri profondamente
non ti preoccupare stiamo per trovare un modo
sto aspettanto, sto aspettando un giorno di sole
per cacciare via le nuvole
aspettando un giorno di sole
senza di te, sto lavorando con la pioggia che scende giù
sono metà della festa in una città senza nemmeno un cane
ho bisogno di te per cacciare via queste depressioni
senza di te, sono un batterista ragazza che non può tenere il tempo
un furgoncino dei gelati su una strada deserta
spero che tu stia venendo per restare
sto aspettando, aspettando un giorno di sole
per cacciare via le nuvole
aspettando un giorno di sole
tempi duri, bambina bene verranno tutti a noi
certo come il ticchettare dell'orologio sulla parete
certo come il cambio della notte in giorno
il tuo sorriso piccola, porta la luce della mattina nei miei occhi
sbalza via la depressione quando mi alzo
spero che tu stia venendo per restare
sto aspettando, aspettando un giorno di sole
per cacciare via le nuvole
aspettando un giorno di sole
Nothing conceptual or planned today, my brain seems to be on pause lately and it was such a nice day out today that I didn't want to spend it indoors editing so after my long leisurely walk in the forest, I plunked down next to a creek, and caught some flare :)
-Nobody wants to play with me grandma!
-Don't worry dear, well... , I can only say that they are preparing a surprise for you!
-For me? What? When?
-I cannot say that! But very soon you will know! Until then you can help me with the cookies!
"No worries! Tia Dalma and I go way back... thick as thieves, nigh inseparable we are... were... have been... before..."
"I'll watch yer back."
"It's me front I'm worried about." -Jack and Gibbs
I've always loved Tia Dalma's shack from Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. It was no doubt inspired by the shacks seen on the classic Disneyland attraction in California. Wooden shacks on the bayou were always cool to me, so I just had to make this scene sooner or later.
I was also greatly inspired by _Matn's version of this scene. When I saw his depiction I knew this would be a fun scene to build. It was one of the many cool things from the film.
I think people sometimes overthink, which leads them to be consumed by their own worries. The only exit, paradoxically lies within ourselves

Dont worry about a thing,

Don't they have right to some serenity?
We are here - i'll start the revolution when i finish my coffee
There once was a wild dog
named Worry
who traveled tensed up
and in a hurry.
He said, "My lunch was meat tarts,
it led to some farts,
And this evening's meal
is a curry."
be happy!
"Trata de saborear a vida; e fica sabendo, que a pior filosofia é a do choramingas que se deita à margem do rio para o fim de lastimar o curso incessante das águas. O ofício delas é não parar nunca; acomoda-te com a lei, e trata de aproveitá-la."
Trecho do livro 'Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas', de Machado de Assis
todas essas frases que eu colo aqui não são meramente um enfeite semântico casual e que combine com a imagem; são elas para mim mesma; talvez, para que eu possa aceitar melhor a vida, as decepções amargas que ela invariavelmente me traz.
será que vai ser assim até o final da estação da vida, meu Deus?

Rather storied history with PR-AIY, particularly via Deucalion Aviation Fund (www.airfleets.net/ficheapp/plane-a330-365.htm). She's just come off a lease with TAP, returning to Azul and again as "Don't Worry Be Azul." Her first appearance at FLL was 8 Dec. Finally caught her this morning on west ops.

Roman my sister-in-laws cat got spooked in the backyard and went and hid behind the shed for the afternoon.

If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?

This male is one of three from the Sala Pride who were 'acquainting themselves' with the females of the Rekero Pride with a view to taking over. He doesn't seem to have much experience and looks rather confused about the whole thing. He approached these females which made them rather nervous with the cubs close by and one of them snarled at him. He just gingerly lay down beside them but the females weren't entirely comfortable. I didn't much like the looks he was giving the cubs but it seemed they were safe for the moment.
i could take some of my own advice there.. or, rather, bobby mcferrin's advice

A Worry doll from Guatemala. It is tiny and meant to ward off troubles and worries.
In the fast changing world of Mainland China, millions of mothers across China worry over their children's' future over having to compete with the huge population in education and jobs.
I intentionally did not apply any noise reduction and exposure as I wanted the shot to have a bit of the dark and gritty feel to it.
When I was in England I stumbled upon this man on the beach, half dressed, bruised and bleeding. He was shivering violently and his teeth chattered together so much his words were barely audible, but he managed to tell me he had carried this suitcase full of rocks all the way from France, or rather... swam with it... across the English Channel.
When I asked him "Why!!?", he explained that he was carrying out an old tradition; The suitcase full of rocks represented all his worries, and he'd swam the channel in order to take them, and leave them, far, far away. I wondered out loud if he was going to swim all the way back again. To which he replied, "Fuck no, I'm taking the Eurostar! ...Do you have any socks?"
We laughed and laughed, thawed our feet and hands on car air vents, and then went back to the placeI was staying, where we ate Mexican food, and I discovered he was actually a crazy Flickr photographer named Simon McCheung!! Small word, ay?
Today is my birthday, and I've been so grateful for all the lovely greetings and thoughtful and lovely gifts that I have received. ❤️
I look forward to more memories and happy times going forward with people I know and love, and friends I've not yet met. ❤️
While there are many benefits to living in California, there are also plenty of worries. Wildfires, droughts, floods, earthquakes and more. On this recent trip to a Northern California beach, I saw a warning sign about tsunamis. Add it to the list.
I was starting to worry about Alice.
I'd set up her little A framed cat house (it's like a heavy duty tent). There is an exit at both ends with a clear flap so she can see out, and the floor is padded and heated.
At first I was encouraging her to go inside by putting her food bowl in there. She'd go 3/4 of the way in to eat, but would come back out and curl up on an old moving blanket on the floor. But in the past day or two she has discovered how cozy it is inside, and now she seems very content with her little nest.
Now I won't worry about her being out there in these colder temperatures.

I have made several pictures of this little girl. She was given to me by my boss (and mentor) when I was working in the child psychology world. She is an amazing woman who served in the peace corps and attended Berkeley during the summer of love. She went to Guatemala when we worked together and brought us all back these little worry dolls. This little 1 inch baby has travelled across the country, lived in 3 states, and survived for almost 30 years.
I posed her here on my artist's manikin for scale.
HMM!
