I though this image was interesting because of the contrast between the two cherubs. One being clean and the other being weathered, yet they remain connected. Kind of a symbolic representation of the balance of good and evil or optimism and pessimism.
I've been battling the flu this week and haven't been able to do much of anything. I'm starting to feel more like myself, so I decided not to completely neglect my blog.

I've written previously that I love interesting architecture and old buildings. The beauty, for me, is in the details.
You know how you can walk by something and not really see it? The above image is a good example of that. I've been walking through this area for decades and have taken hundreds of photos around here. But I've never photographed the details. Until this time. My son, Owen, and I walked around for over an hour while I took pictures of him and lots of other things I found interesting. The photo above is one of my favourite architectural shots of our morning. I like the way the long empty hallway leads out and to a staircase. Makes you think about where the staircase is leading. Here's Keva with one of her favourite dogs, Hawaii. (aka Hawaii Rolle, aka Hawaii Jackson) He's a friendly old man who spends a good part of his day sitting behind Keva at the front desk of the shelter.
I've written previously that we have a LOT of very friendly dogs in need of a good home. The puppies and smaller dogs are generally pretty easy to place. But there are a fair amount of older dogs too, like Hawaii. There are a lot of benefits to older dogs. They're usually more settled and housebroken (that's a huge plus in my book!). Older dogs are pretty affectionate too, without all the jumping - another plus. If you're considering a pet, you might want to consider an older dog, and always check a shelter first. Since Owen was already dressed up, we decided to have a photo shoot for some senior portraits. We spent about an hour walking around and got some really nice shots that I'm processing. This is one of my favorites of the morning.
Anyone wanting a portrait session on Grand Bahama? Send me a message. This image is located in the center of Port Lucaya Marketplace. About 30 years ago, and yes I remember, this used to be a large vacant field. Since completion, this is THE place for tourists and residents alike to come and spend an afternoon or an evening.
The place is filled with stalls and carts selling souvenirs, like the one above. There are also lots of restaurants, bars, ice cream shoppes and cafes. Stores selling jewelry, perfume, clothes, art work, etc. If you're ever on Grand Bahama, it's definitely worth checking out. And the old British phone booths placed around Port Lucaya, I remember when those were on the streets in town with working pay phones. This past Saturday, Abby came over to hang out with me for a while. Of course, I took my camera outside to get some pictures. I keep deluding myself in thinking that she'll hold still, look at me and smile. But that's ok. She's a active, curious 2 year old and this shot captures that perfectly.

This bee, now deceased, stung Kamal this afternoon. We've seen a few bees in our apartment over the past week or so. Not sure why, and haven't really minded them, until now. If they're going to start stinging people then they better fly back outside. We don't know what kind of bee this one is. It's pretty with the iridescent blues and greens. And if it had not decided to sting Kamal, it would still be alive. |
