No.. are you kidding... have you seen the way these people live? No freakin' way... I just want to go on the show so I can have naming rights for the new tribe after the merge... First, I'd dub the new Tribe "Fahkarwee"... Then I'd make myself a sign and hang it around my neck saying "Chief Wierdah"... at the next tribal council I would announce to the world that "I am Chief of the new tribe.. Chief Wierdah... Fahkarwee Tribe"! HA... Think they'd let me? OK.. so I'm a little tired today...

Fun with Crazy Daisies and Flickr Toys!
Yes, you will be seeing lots of Crazy Daisies in the coming days... They have kind of become a thorn in my side tho... trying desperately to get them 'lit' properly.... keeping their bright colors... AND a pure white background... AND getting no shadows (or at least minimal shadow) is proving more difficult than I anticipated... good thing I'm not shooting with film!

Idol Next Week...
Next week is COUNTRY MUSIC... just shoot me in the head with my 30 odd 6, put me in the bed of my pickup truck, drive me across the Chattahoochie, and bury me with my best huntin' dog! YEEHAH...
Crazy Daisies
Lookout... I picked up some new flowers today.. Crazy Daisies... yes, that is the actual colors of them, the only thing I added was some "noisy blur" to soften the edges a bit.
I found these last year when older (MUCH OLDER) big sis was having menopause issues.. again.. she is MUCH MUCH OLDER than I am... not only are they bright and beautiful but the name is just too perfect for someone suffering thru "the change"... I had to drive to Palmer to find them, but find them I did... I'm sure your gonna see lots more of them!

Porcelin Tulip
Still playing with lights, backdrops and shadows...
I've had the China Doll since a 4th grade field trip to the Boston Museum. And I still love her!

Wasted Idol
Man... what a mess last nite... What were they thinking? I know that's what I was thinking... "Suds in a Bucket"? "Forrest... Forrest Pickler" needs to go back to the blonde Gump act! "A Real Good Man"? Apparently a Real Good Man with a mouth full of hot sh*t... Gospel?? GEEZ... Ace? With that performance it wasn't only Jupiter that was crying! The only one worth listening to was Taylor and even he didn't choose the best song but at least he sounded good doing it...
I think alot of them did more damage than good with their choices last nite... it really was a peek at the kind of albums their gonna want to release if they win... so... When was the last time you purchased a Gospel album? NEVER?? ok.. maybe that's just me.. What a waste of an hour... *sigh...

How many ways...
How many ways can you photograph a tulip? Let me count the ways...
I'm determined to get my 4 bucks worth outta these. Good photography models that work cheap and don't complain about having to sit still - NOT that easy to come by!
I'm sure you'll see more...

Wine and Roses... Not
I'm just not the wine and roses kinda girl - give me a beer and some tulips and I'll love you forever!
A little more conservative than pics of my butt, don't you think?

Anyway, here's 2 views of the covered bridge in Hardwick. I like it.. What do you think?

Idol Bites...
Yeah.. I'm still hooked on that stupid show.. so here's my predictions...
Top 3 - Chris, Mandisa and Taylor - in that order...
Who's next to go? Bucky.. PLEASE let it be Bucky...
Who's gonna go far but should be immediately dumped? "Forrest.. Forrest Pickler"...
Of all the performances so far are there any that I would spend 88 cents to download from Wallymart.com - Chris Daughtry's "I Walk the Line"... brilliant.. Alternative Cash, who would have thought.. well apparently Chris.. and that's why he needs to win this thing!
Dumbest schtick... Taylor... Dude.. you got a great voice - quit it with the Ray Charles poses - it's gonna get you booted Buddy!

Unintentional Body Parts...
Well that was just too funny! Two entries ago I threatened to put another of my body part pics up on the blog, and then yesterday I go and put up a pic of my feet. I didn't even realize I was following through on my threat until I got a comment last nite saying "first your butt, now your feet - what's next?"... too funny... it was completely unintentional... I was playing around in one of Flickr's forums and the topic was "Our Poster Children" (check 'em out some of them are brilliant!)suggesting that we take one of our pics and make a motivational poster out of them... and I selected my "Feet" picture... I liked it so much I then posted it to the blog... I was following thru on my threat and didn't even realize it... sheesh.. if this continues I'm gonna have to change the Title of this thing to "Head 2 Toe 2 Butt 2 Whatever"... Nah... I don't wanna be subjected to that and I'm sure you don't either... So I think the run of body parts is done... but then again... you NEVER KNOW!... mmmuuuwwwaaahhhaaa....

Perspective
How cool is this... you can make those cute "motivational" posters straight from your pics on Flickr... yes.. I fear I have been Flickrized... OH.. and then I can blog about it directly from Flickr too... I'm loving my new Flickr account and I MAY NEVER LEAVE IT.

Revisiting My Bigass...
Well... that was an interesting psychological experiment - one for the record books.. seems.. "My Bigass" got the most comments EVER in the 2 years or so that I've been writing this blog... EVER... let's all just digest that little bit of info... EVER! Oh... and you didn't even see all the responses cause a couple came in via email... this was my particular favorite...
Right... so my Bigass was SO big it even slowed down the loading time of my blog... great! (It was an issue with Blogger.. I SWEAR...)
Really... thanks for the response everyone... My Bigass and I both appreciate it... now I just have to figure out what body part to photograph next to keep these comments coming! Are you scared yet? HA!

One Bigass Target...
You know.. it's surprisingly difficult to take a picture of your own butt... (and I invite you all to take a try at it and send it along to me via email!) You'd think with that big of a target how can I possibly miss.. but miss I did... several times... this was the best shot I could get out of the contortionistic excercise... it was so fuzzy I had to throw a filter on it to make it even slightly useable...
Ayup... time to toss my favorite jeans... or maybe I can just patch 'em and get a few more years outta them...
