I am a name not a number
Reflections of the Week
Ok it's not really Lake Placid. It is a placid lake though. Google will be confused. For the moment it's it's working title, or as Hyde DP humorously commented on yesterday's image, #13. Very true. Technically the image is a number. I always give images a title, even if it's a library only image just so I can find it again. I'd never find dc10205 and know instantly that it was this image, but a name I'll recall and which named file it's in. You wouldn't believe how many names you can up with for a puddle. No, really you can if you let your imagination fly.
Happy puddle, dopey puddle, sneezy puddle. As you can see I really take my filing system seriously (she say in mock ironic tones.)
Another reflection of the little houses on the hill behind the park. Just tiny silhouettes. The longer thin lines are the lamposts. I said some would not be easy on the eye. This is pretty to look at but you have to use your imagination to envisage those black shadow boxes as buildings. If you live in Ramsey you would probably guess that's Mooragh Lake as low as I've ever seen it and I'm photographing inside the Park, over the lake onto the road. I'll show you another image. In fact I will try and get one for skywatch so you can compare. Time of day for this image was late afternoon again. Same as yesterday manual setting and left as taken.
It's my Birthday today, and I never ever work on it. I get very drunk instead.

Babs,
Happy Birthday. These last days images have been my favourites.
Cheers.
I will be low key for a few days. Join me on Facebook with more of the island and ideas. Birthdays are to be celebrated not worked.
Happy Birthday to you, happy Birthday to...well you get the idea!
Have a great time and forget work for the day, just drink!
I agree with Pam above, my favs too :)
I look forward to making the acquaintance of the Island's most elusive (possibly best too) photographer. Happy Birthday.
Congrats. What quiz? Enjoy your day. This week has been my favourite too. Monday photo.
Happy Birthday Babooshka. Hope you have a good one and not get too drunk. Quiz. Friday. Where? If I wasn't down the boathouse on SOS day raising funds for the RNLI I would be there.

Happy Birthday Babooshka. You know you haven't celebrated too much if you can still spell the word backwards.
You do so much with light in your photos even on days when light is scarce.

Happy Birthday, have a few drinks for me.
Happy birthday B! And many happy returns!
Happy Birthday Babooshka!
Today's post is exceptionally interesting on pretty much all levels. I live 2 hours drive south of the Olympic Lake Placid, NY.
I'm a fan of The Prisoner - American Movie Classics are doing a remake of the series AND they have the originals on their web site!
And of course, Patrick McGoohan recently passed away.
I like the reflections theme. Nothing much reflects here this time of the year, except the occasional glare of sun on dirty windows!
Names give more personality than numbers. In pictures and people Happy birthday!
Happy Birthdy!!! Now go drink!!! MB
Happy Birthday!
Don't forget what makes you feel bad,
can make you feel better... :-)
(I don't really believe that) lol
Whaa...? If I'd known I'd have had cake and fireworks and all manner of other hungama for ya over at my place. Well you're on the radar now kid. Next year there'll be no mercy! 'Cos I'll have to make up for missing this year!
But you'll have to be satisfied with birthday wishes a-la comment this time round.
janmadin ki badhai, Babooshka ji!
Happy Birthday, today a talented artist of sorts was born "YOU"
All the best
