These were not photoshopped, just colorized.
I manip words, not photos.
Thanks, Locker, for making clear the distinction.
Hey, say exactly what you mean.
There, that's the ticket, old bean.
Say, that's catchy as a...
hmmm....I'll sleep on it.
ZEE! Catchy as a Zee in a mattress factory.

So boring. I feel like I got a ankle bracelet on and can't leave.
Long story. Short lens (55mm) lost when backpack was taken in the park the other night. Just lame.
Fighting the blues off with some help from my friends, per usual.
I need to be here in case someone returns the goodies--trying to think in a positive way. But I can ditch out any time via the Memory Channel on my computer. I just have to remind myself to go pay the cable company Monday.

On the south side of the Merced.
Over across the river.
Looking back at the mouth of a short high-water river channel at the bend.

These pics are especially for Piton Pete, master of the piton and the piano and piano hauling on the wall; and for our local peripatetic Pole, MooseDrool, swimming in his native water and doing the Australian crawl.
This may settle the bet you made.

Dudes, I am not the one you seek. Believe me!
Don't I have credentials? No, as a matter of fact.
My wallet was in my backpack when it disappeared the other night.
So I may share the Dude's spirit and his weed, but never his bottle.
We drink like civilized men: He has his own 40 and I have mine.

No matter where in the world you go, there is no good reason not to have a camera along.

Yellow Pines!
Slowly I returned...scene by scene, frame by frame...Naturally, the walk along the river calls for another round of talk about safety.The main topic of our safety meeting: Who leads the pitch across the bridge? Who follows and who takes pics?
Fish Finder led in style. I missed taking the pics cuz I was scarfin' the last couple hits on the 'refreshments.'[Click to View YouTube Video]

No, I'd rather go in the Ford pickup, granny gear for the sand & if I need it, a shovel in the bed.
And the camera lying in the seat next to me.
Sorry. Drifted off.
Where were we?
Oh, yeah..."the Eastside Ride."

Ron Anderson, not that he's such a "grate" rock 'n' roll musician, see, but he can jam, all the same...
Well, his pa worked for the defense establishment, JUST LIKE THESE HIPPIES!
Chew on that.
I gotta take a dump.
No offense, richross, please, sir. :0)
But we'll have no protests here, no riots.
How about some eye ball rest?

No, Ron, wait! It was in the Courthouse Park, after dark, I was on a lark.
I wandered away around the corner of the courthouse for a bit, came back, no pack, I was jacked, but had only myself to blame for my geriatric lack
of attention.
It was 'round midnight.
Amy Winehouse/'round Midnight.

All in all, it was "A most disturbing event."
And I might have liked to shoot off some rounds to help vent,
But I suppose my anger's now come and went.
(I spoke with neebee. Thanks, friend!)
But thanks all the same, dude. Yer such a gent.

She runs one of these when she's not out ranging for bears and mice.

Visit Facelift and introduce yourself. She may have some espresso for you.
You could share some ladyfingers, too, maybe?
She is a fan of dill pickles, too.

Or you might try these with her as a challenging variation on technique.
Meantime, I'm being forced to vary my technique, simply to keep shooting till a new lens lends itself to my use.
I consider it a challenge. It may be what I needed, as I discussed with neebee.
(Point of etiquette, here: It's never 'neebs' unless yer 'zeebs.' Otherwise, I rely on your gentles' good offices in that regard. 'Just sayin'.)
I'll manage, somehow. I'm good at "muddling through."

Okay, enough 'rowdy' talk.
Ladies, forgive us 'ancient teen-agers' and our C4 picnic "table talk."
Please.
Thank you.
Here's for neebs, for being such a vibrant part of The Flames and ALL the threads;
and for being such a grate sport about our way of doing things of which she might disapprove in her own kids.

Really, thanks, Mommie.
Wish I had one of those purty cards to show right now, too.
"Quilt thou not forgivest me?"--SnakeSpeare (the divil in me)
Act Three, Scene 4 of Hamlet (no plays on words, promise, just the real dill)
Hamlet:
Such an act
That blurs the grace and blush of modesty,
Calls virtue hypocrite, takes off the rose
From the fair forehead of an innocent love
And sets a blister there...
O, such a deed
As from the body of contraction plucks
The very soul, and sweet religion makes
A rhapsody of words. Heaven's face doth glow
O'er this solidity and compound mass,
With tristful visage, as against the doom,
Is thought-sick at the act.

Guten Tag:
Just thought I'd drop in for another go at Der wilde Berg-und-Tal-Fahrt auf Herr Maus.
Interesting that you should mention The Bull. We just celebrated his and wife Reita's 70th wedding anniversary yesterday (that's 70 earth years). I'm in the middle there. I've got the Bull's back so to speak. Grandma Chele is to my left and sprinkled throughout are her various kids and grandkids and the biggest guy (crouching down & taking my back), who is my nephew. It may just be coincidence, but then again, it may not, but ever since I've been posting on the thread, my hair has gotten whiter.
white power? I'll ask Carlos next time I "see" him.

Do you believe in Magic? In Cuba, guajira and guajiro are used as nicknames for rural or country folk, just as "hillbilly" is used in the U.S
