You've lost that loving feeling by Lina Woods

You’ve lost that loving feeling You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips. / And there’s no tenderness like before in your fingertips. / You’re trying hard not to show it, (baby). / But baby, baby I know it… You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling, / Whoa, that lovin’ feeling, / You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling, / Now it’s gone…gone…gone…wooooooh. Now there’s no welcome look in your eyes / when I reach for you. / And now your’re starting to critisize little things I do. / It makes me just feel like crying, (baby). / ‘Cause baby, something in you is dying. You lost that lovin’ feeling, / Whoa, that lovin’ feeling, / You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling, / Now it’s gone…gone…gone…woooooah Baby, baby, I get down on my knees for you. If you would only love me like you used to do, yeah. We had a love…a love…a love you don’t find everyday. So don’t…don’t…don’t…don’t let it slip away. Baby (baby), baby (baby), / I beg of you please…please, / I need your love (I need your love), / I need your love (I need your love), / So bring it on back (So bring it on back), / Bring it on back (so bring it on back). Bring back that lovin’ feeling, / Whoa, that lovin’ feeling / Bring back that lovin’ feeling, / ‘Cause it’s gone…gone…gone, / and I can’t go on, / noooo… Bring back that lovin’ feeling, / Whoa, that lovin’ feeling / Bring back that lovin’ feeling, / ‘Cause it’s gone…gone…

In Bloom by Tim Sanders

The species are perennials from bulbs, the tunicate bulbs often produced on the ends of stolons and covered with hairless to variously hairy papery coverings. The species include short low-growing plants to tall upright plants, growing from 10 to 70 centimeters (4–27 in) tall. They can even grow in the cold and snowy winter. Plants typically have 2 to 6 leaves, with some species having up to 12 leaves. The cauline foliage is strap-shaped, waxy-coated, usually light to medium green and alternately arranged. The blades are somewhat fleshy and linear to oblong in shape. The large flowers are produced on scapes or subscapose stems normally lacking bracts. The stems have no leaves to a few leaves, with large species having some leaves and smaller species have none. Typically species have one flower per stem but a few species have up to four flowers. The colourful and attractive cup shaped flowers typically have three petals and three sepals, which are most often termed tepals because they are nearly identical. The six petaloid tepals are often marked near the bases with darker markings. The flowers have six basifixed, distinct stamens with filaments shorter than the tepals and the stigmas are districtly 3-lobed. The ovaries are superior with three chambers. The 3 angled fruits are leathery textured capsules, ellipsoid to subglobose in shape, containing numerous flat disc-shaped seeds in two rows per locule.

FIRST OF ALL, I’D LIKE TO SAY THIS,,,,,,,I KNOW THAT THERE PROBABLY HAVEN’T BEEN 34,638 INDIVIDUALS LOOKING AT MY PHOTOS AND PHOTOART, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO AKNOWLEDGE TO EVERY ONE THAT HAS SEEN AND FAVORITED AND COMMENTED AND COMPLIMENTED AND FEATURED,,,,,ALL OF THE IMAGES THAT HAVE BEEN CHOSEN. IF IT WEREN’T FOR YOU FELLOW BUBBLERS ALL AROUND THE GLOBE, MY IMAGES WOULD BE SITTING IN AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE AND NOT BE SEEN BY ANYONE BUT MYSELF AND MY MOM. SINCE I DON’T HAVE MANY FRIENDS THAT COME BY MY HOUSE TO VISIT, IT HAS BECOME IMPORTANT TO ME TO HAVE ALL OF YOU OUT THERE, COMMENTING AND CHATING WITH ME OVER THE COMPUTER, GETS ME OUT OF THE HOUSE,,,,AT LEAST MENTALLY ANYWAY,,,BECAUSE WHEN I THINK OF WHERE EACH OF YOU ARE WHEN I’M REPLYING TO A COMMMENT OR COMPLIMENT OR SUGGESTION THAT YOU HAVE MADE,,,,,,IT’S LIKE I’M TAKING A LITTLE TRIP. THE FACT THAT A LOT OF YOU ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GLOBE FROM ME,,,TOTALLY BLOWS ME AWAY, I NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS EVER THOUGHT I WOULD BECOME FRIENDS WITH PEOPLE IN OTHER LANDS, LET ALONE THE MANY OTHER STATES THAT I’VE BECOME FAMILIAR WITH,,,,,RIGHT HERE IN THE USA. I HAVE ACCUMULATED OVER 60 PAGES OF YOUR ART,,,IN MY FAVORITES PAGE. I DON’T HAVE THAT MANY PAGES OF MY OWN IMAGES,,,,,SO THAT GIVES ME THE MENTAL ABILITY TO SEE INTO YOUR WORLDS A LITTLE BIT. SOME OF YOU ARTISTS, I’VE FAVED A FEW OF YOUR WORKS, SOME OF YOU I’VE FAVED SEVERAL OF YOU IMAGES AND SOME OF YOU, I’VE FAVED A LOT OF YOUR IMAGES. I’VE LEARNED ONE THING IF I’VE LEARNED ANYTHING,,,I AM NOT WORTHY,,,,I AM NOT WORTHY,,,,I AM NOT WORTHY. LOL MY IMAGES THAT I PRODUCE WITH MY CAMERA AND THEN THE COMPUTER, ARE IN MY EYES, AMATEUR COMPARED TO SOME OF YOU ARTISTS OUT THERE THAT CREATE WITH THE COMPUTER, OR WITH PEN AND PENCIL, OR COLORED PENCILS OR OILS,,,,OR WHAT EVER OTHER MEDIA GETS USED IN THE WORLD OF ART. I’VE TRIED COLORED PENCILS AND FELT TIP MARKERS ON A COUPLE OF THINGS, BUT NOTHING LIKE WHAT I’VE SEEN ON THE BUBBLE. MY FELT TIP MARKERS IMAGE OF “MY SECRET CITY”, IS THE MOST FINISHED ART BY HAND WORK I’VE EVER DONE. IF IT WEREN’T FOR MY CAMERA TO GIVE ME A START, MY ART WOULD BE VERY LIMITED INDEED. SO A GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU OTHER ARTISTS OUT THERE. / SECONDLY, I’D LIKE TO SAY THIS FROM MY HEART, TO ALL OF YOU,,,,” I want to wish you, one and all,,,,,may you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a Wonderful Holiday Season,,,with a wonderous New Year”. IT DOESN’T SEEM LIKE IT’S COMING UP ON THE YEAR 2010,,,JUST LAST YEAR I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL,,lol. WELL IT SEEMS LIKE THAT ANYWAY. BOY, 1970, THE YEAR I GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL,,,JUST DOESN’T SEEM LIKE WHEN I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE YEAR 2000, BACK THEN,,,THAT IT WOULD GET HERE SO FAST. EACH YEAR HAS GONE FASTER AND FASTER. I KNOW IT MUST SEEM THE SAME WAY WITH SOME OF YOU OUT THERE….I JUST DON’T KNOW WHERE ALL THE TIME WENT. HAPPY HOLLIDAYS EVERYONE. SMOKEYDOGSOCKS,,,AKA,,,,,,,,BOB :)

I feel almost as good as after capturing ‘Know when to hold’em’ :) Forgive me if you’ve seen it already I just like it just as much in b/w Camera Data / Make: SONY / Model: DSLR-A300 / Shutter Speed: 1/40 second / Aperture: F/5.6 / Focal Length: 20 mm / ISO Speed: 400
