Gnome, my l'i'l friend,
THIS MAN, Blitzo Rama, should be your first referral when thinking about your photos' quality.
Or not comma equally.
There are more better Shuteye buggers out there in the Taco Range with whom to compare your own work than I, for certain!
As to text, etc., I will gadly fly as your instructor pilot in the followin' Cat E. Gory:
nippin' gees with apostrophes.
It's basic to a free 'n easy style and it often frees the grammar nazi in all of us from restrain'ts.
C U a l'i'l later.
edit: Ol' zBrown would be one of those to emulate visages of.
And little is a lot like rock and roll
with a sort of free form insertion of astropuffery.
As in,
"She called herself Lil Abner, but no one believed ol' Little Lotta.
They all knew her as Nancy."

C If I CAN GET SOME SHOTZ Right now on the sunday morn, buhdist, dog walk!
Yer out 'a here and then back
Now back with these , I like my not so old, 9 yrs, Pentax so much more than this new
Olympus,
this is not an Olympus pic
Now for the New cameras 'just now' from the walk
I did take one in focus na, with some cropping and photo shop , that I have not, now as for catching the bird on the wing?!
not a chance!
I am using a monopod, a stick, that extends to my full height, with a camera mount.
this needs to go to the Great decay thread or With a terse verse, about sneaky #7, to another poetry thread, dead head. see the small speck of blue, that is a blunt wrapper wrapper, that has been kicked up in the plowed snow ,
then melted out faster than it's suroundings.

I am not certain, but this appears to be the proverbial bridge we'll cross when we get to it.

A cardinal?Pigeon feathers!
I had this thrust into my face looking up the definition for ferkockt, a word I have read but never heard spoken in Alta Mexico.
So in my family we use a lot of Yiddish in everyday speech
because on both sides of my family,
all my grandparents’ first language was Yiddish.
So when I’m out in public and I say something like “Stop fydreying my kup!”
or “This looks ferkokt” or “What kind of a schmatah is that?”
I get all these weird looks and I’m just like
JEWISH!
Amos: Hey, Andy.
Andy: Stop frydryin' my kup. Go back to ferkocktin' sleep.

Ferkockta as: The man with the Avigaz bud Had a good shpil, but was ferkockta on the price, now this. . . .
is the kurnrdelle.
The dot dot dot was (as realized to late) that that was the round number post to this thread of 6100! now 6101!
Conga line at your relations!
This is fuzzy but the reverse shot was ok to go on the bird thread almost.
Of course I like this one much more.( No left turn unstoned)
'eres a nice shot if you like tree bird shots.

HELLO GYPSY, AND THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THE FINE INTO THE FLAMES!!
please on the chance that this is just flat turd it was a try at creative photography
the trip that sooths and gives a head ache at the same time ;
The Mall

Those shots came out not the best, so more of my full right,'

4,100 photos in Gypsy's folio. And they're all "that" good.
There is always, ALL WAYS, someone who's got their stuff so together
that you want to do a Dooley and hang your head in shame.
Dooley noted? Now I mall done.
Today's weather:
Terrific news for photographers.
Every time I download, the window's open.
As I'm decidin' which are worth postin',
out the window the scene's constantly changin'.

I have been asked, "so just how many members of The (Original) Flames were there" and did they have colors? Were there dues? Could Tom Dula have enrolled?
When is the re-union?
You can never go home, apparently. I do not recall any of these folks from my youth.

On deck: The Otays. There is a difference you know.
Born in CV, living in Otay.
Where you from SA?
That's a good question puto.

No. of Flames, original group/chapter in Merced and Atwater.
Me, song writer.
the Rev, front man.
Jones, rhythm.
MC McAllister, lead.
John Yeates, high-pitched whiney voice, background vocals.
Deacon Swank, bass and artwork.
Wentworth Lewis, drums and wooden rollercoaster.
And that's about it.
Flames mamma Clare.
Flames mamma Sharon.
Flames mamma Belle.
Flames mamma Julie.
(All doin' vocals and various percussion.
(Throwpie was in the "wings," and yet to graduate in '68, our first year.)
No dues.
No colors.
Doo-langs abounded, so Doo-las would have fit right in.
There are no current plans for a re-union.
[Click to View YouTube Video]Combination fire drill and safety meetings were a highlight of weekday inactivity. Lots of "shake" action.
And then the kilo came from Cam Rahn.
Things changed.
Yosemite opened up.
Fertile ground up in the caves back of Camp 4.
The rest is geological history, historical history, grammatically incorrect, politically irresponsible, and carefree fantasy of white punks on dope and granite.
[Click to View YouTube Video]The critics have called the Flamingo Groovesters a poor man's Souling Roans.
The Flames were cautious of becoming just another gerund band.
We already had my name, Burning Ham, in our clique, anyway. No need to overdue the product. We thought about organics a lot the summer of '68.
One day Jones and I threw the frisbee into a deodar, so we climbed it and we got up to where it was, lit up, and dropped the joint to the ground.
That there told us to drop the "flaming" and the "burning" and Watts-not.
It was a "sign," the rest said.
A peace sign.
So we were left with the Flames.
As Phil Spectrum may have questioned, once, "Colors?"

I keep miss hitting and opening up the wrong thread.
I opened the Sirlion thread and followed it all around, That Cade!? wtf? he was a fine person who all were a bit envious of! it hadme in tears to read all the back ground and the family left to question why,. He was the second child of seven! The epitome of the big brother.
ca not figure out though, cause WBraun said that it was not Cade that threw himself off of el Cap, on 7/4,5?/13. and when after a lot of reading Cade's obit. led to his family saying he went away from Oregon.
So my morbid curiosity demands who flew off ElCap on 7/4/13?

For what it's worth, I opened it too,
as I was sleepy and there was no plays I'm goin', too.
I wasn't following you.
Am i clear?
Slow Death Comics.Sure looks like Throwpie, huh?Any Dylan in a storm, he said gravely.
Dylan's next me yell.
Rip rock
Reel rock
Choke me
With a tube sock
Don't you know
The Jokers
Laugh
At you
Along with the jugglers
And the clowns
All along the Watchtower
Strugglin' to be free-wheelin'
Robert Edminster's amazing book Streams of the San Joaquin, is a self-published gem.
This book reflects years of personal experience in the San Joaquin Valley,
invaluable for those wishing to become ecologically literate in the Central Valley of California.
Every point and local description is illustrated by color photographs.
Bob was our football coach at Merced High.
He was a P.E. instructor, too.
A man of the place,
He made us race
Along Black Rascal Creek
Until we complained.
He called us slackers and ten-percenters.
We just hated running when we were swimmers, dammit!
He was as glad to be shet of us swimmers
as we were to be out of his mis-guided clutches.
That shotgun was scary, even if the gun wasn't loaded.
For what it's worth the Dylan Vape is now available,
a few serious millimeters longer.

Not that I know too much about looking stuff up, but I don't see anything for July, 2013.
INLINE EDIT: Caleb Nathanael Brickman died in Yosemite July 4, 2013. There is no mention of the cause.
Apparently Mr. Brickman, like the Otays, was not uniformly appreciated either.
Jonathan Fisher
April 29, 2014
This man was my biological father, and I never knew it. I had always wondered who my father was, and now I know. He ran off when he found out my mother, Melissa Gates, was pregnant, with a woman known by the name of Julia. I have a half-brother, and all I know is that he lives somewhere in Tx, is also the son of Caleb Nathaniel Brickman, and is named Jordan. My name is Jonathan Wilson Fisher of Onalaska, Tx. I just want to make sure everyone knows where my late father's trash is buried. Thanks for nothing "dad"!
There was an unlucky fellow, Felix Joseph Kiernan, from London who died June 2, 2013 after being struck by falling rock on the East Butress.
I'm thinking of moving to Yosemite. There do not appear to be any gangs there (except for The Flames). You can tell by the lack of grafitti. (Wenthworth or Mickey Jones on bongos).
