Oh, Justin...'nature is my middle name' of Soyo:
Shooting people is just a game.
They all want to pose.
Nature, although it has no choice, has wind, clouds, blocked views...it's all a crap shoot out there. It's fun to defeat the elements. It's like climbing, see.
I envy your ability to get out and up and to find the hidey-holes where nature's treasures abide.
I certainly appreciated your comment on my people images, too. Thanks.

Greetings fellow travelers
how flickers the flame?
I just wanted to come in
from the cold,
it's warm here.
I will leave some lightness
and be on my merry way
no end.

Welcome and farewell, Wayno.
It's been too long.
Going to Oakdale is gonna be fun.
I don't know about our Facelift, though.
Tad, here's the message I've gotten from Mo.
Thank you for your interest in YOSEMITE FACELIFT 2014
The free camping spots in Yellow Pines, Upper Pines and Camp4 have been filled. There are a few spots left in Tuolumne Meadows.
If you would like to be put on the waitlist for if/when space becomes available, please make sure we have the names and dates of arrivals/departures for each person in your party.
If you have sent me a previous email just sit back a bit as I get to your request. It's a juggle!
One thing left, which I've been avoiding, that is to email her worship Lucky Pink via PM, which is something I deem necessary if I want to attend.
Waiting list? Bull.
I'll get back on this. I can't let it get to me. It's clerical BS and Mo is too cool to not be able to do something about it.
It's a classic, textbook case of unintentional butt-hurt, very similar to the raid on Pearl Harbor, which we all know was the result of a mundane clerical error gone wild.
What would The Dude do?
"Volkswagens! WTF!"

It's not morning yet? Yer on the West Coast?
ARE YOU PULLING MY LEG, Anita514, aka:
little miss 5 X 5,
the walking refrigerator,
the pig of the north woods,
the beast who talks,
the mysterious selfie the nemophilist,
seldom-seen except in pictures taken mostly by herself?
That's a joke. :0)
And before you say, "So are you," well, I know that.
Yesterday a.m. it was norwegian...today it's incomprehensible.
You remind me of a certain blonde.
[Click to View YouTube Video]She's not blonde then. She was smarter, too.

Bed without breakfast for you! But no clean sheets...
Can't take a little rib? No, cuz you gotta have 'em all! Ha Ha.
You are not a target of hate, quite the contrary.
I have come to view you as a sort of little bratty sister.
Nyah.
IF you were way overweight, you would likely still out-climb MY sorry scrawny butt.

Sitting alone in the den watching the eel
Help me find my way home watching the eel
Burrows it's head in the sand, daylight has come
There shall be rest in a while, daylight has come
I can not reveal the words of the golden eel
Who can explain all these thoughts racking my mind
An endless barrage of sh#t racking my mind
The eel offered his help I can't understand
Speaking it's truth from the bank now I can see
I can not reveal the words of the golden eel

ol' moose de merced is mixing up his metaphors again he meant
12 X 5
Notice that Rosetta ("Tharp" the Sixth) Stone was not allowed on the cover of this one. Speaking metaphorically of course.

My snotty little brother Tim, the alpine skier, called Fat Chicks that.
As in you needed to walk around them...
He's probably not aware of the term "rock climbing" as it's used in balling a BBW. He's such a prude down under the cool...
Dare I listen to Ween's Eel?
I could easily make a rhyme, a couple couplets about elvers, juvenile eels.
I'm an ancient juvenile.
Ely, NV, was home to my great-aunt Mickey, or Mildred. (No, I'll stick with Mickey, otay?)
I will be going on the bus, hopefully meeting with GLee at the local Amtrak.
Robert E. Lee, which leads to Big Pink, which leads to Lucky Pink and the fact that my Facelift camping reservation is in the bag with the cats.

An important part of the Miss 5 X 5 Internationle Competition revolves around memories--not what one might expect, eh?
The Geography Quiz is always entertaining.
A Texas flake, oh,
She hailed from Waco
She failed the test so
She took to the street, ho

Liz grew up big and beautiful.
Some might say she grew up all wrong.
I don't care.
MooseDrool could fast.
We know who would last.
[Click to View YouTube Video]From 12 X 5, oddly. Or evenly. No mo' controversy this aft.
Shot of Tres Culturas Blanco is in order.
I'd pour you one, Anita, were you here.
Damn, that was nice.
Makes me want to go play on the river road at night.
I can hear the bullfrog callin' me.
NOT an "epic" cover, but adequate, given the personnel/Green River

I will be leaving shortly for a ramble into the wild blue re-sett sunsent.
It's up to you to prevent the forces of nature from behaving badly while I'm out photographing Sol's daily goodnight, Gracie. Can I depend on you?
"Of course, George. Where is that new box of Depends, anyway?"
Faux pas de Mama, or,
Forces of Nature.
Courtesy of National Geographic, nature porn at it's near-finest. Scanned by me--I'm not giving credits cuz they're a giant pain in the rear.
"As the buildings were destroyed, black, dusty smoke was thrown up," a survivor told an Al Jazeera reporter. "Then the tsunami swallowed up the smoke."
"How did fish, twice the length of those pre-eruption rainbows, reappear?"
"It injected more particulate into the stratosphere than any eruption since Krakatoa did in 1883. Over the following months, the aerosols formed a global layer of sulfuric acid haze. Global temperatures dropped by about 0.5 °C (0.9 °F) in the years 1991-93, and ozone depletion temporarily increased substantially."--yes, I'm citing Wiki; ironic, isn't it
"By Jupiter!" "Gramps, you mean 'OMG.'"
Whales calling out in the desert to Neptune's deaf ear.
