No need to worry about teenagers when they are not at home. A national survey revealed that they all go to the same place… ‘out’..and they all do the same thing…’nothing’.......
Originally an anti Valentine’s Day image.
Darkness at the break of noon / Shadows even the silver spoon / The handmade blade, the child’s balloon / Eclipses both the sun and moon / To understand you know too soon / There is no sense in trying. Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn / Suicide remarks are torn / From the fool’s gold mouthpiece / The hollow horn plays wasted words / Proves to warn / That he not busy being born / Is busy dying. Temptation’s page flies out the door / You follow, find yourself at war / Watch waterfalls of pity roar / You feel to moan but unlike before / You discover / That you’d just be / One more person crying. So don’t fear if you hear / A foreign sound to your ear / It’s alright, Ma, I’m only sighing. As some warn victory, some downfall / Private reasons great or small / Can be seen in the eyes of those that call / To make all that should be killed to crawl / While others say don’t hate nothing at all / Except hatred. Disillusioned words like bullets bark / As human gods aim for their mark / Made everything from toy guns that spark / To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark / It’s easy to see without looking too far / That not much / Is really sacred. While preachers preach of evil fates / Teachers teach that knowledge waits / Can lead to hundred-dollar plates / Goodness hides behind its gates / But even the president of the United States / Sometimes must have / To stand naked. An’ though the rules of the road have been lodged / It’s only people’s games that you got to dodge / And it’s alright, Ma, I can make it. Advertising signs that con you / Into thinking you’re the one / That can do what’s never been done / That can win what’s never been won / Meantime life outside goes on / All around you. You lose yourself, you reappear / You suddenly find you got nothing to fear / Alone you stand with nobody near / When a trembling distant voice, unclear / Startles your sleeping ears to hear / That somebody thinks / They really found you. A question in your nerves is lit / Yet you know there is no answer fit to satisfy / Insure you not to quit / To keep it in your mind and not fergit / That it is not he or she or them or it / That you belong to. Although the masters make the rules / For the wise men and the fools / I got nothing, Ma, to live up to. For them that must obey authority / That they do not respect in any degree / Who despise their jobs, their destinies / Speak jealously of them that are free / Cultivate their flowers to be / Nothing more than something / They invest in. While some on principles baptized / To strict party platform ties / Social clubs in drag disguise / Outsiders they can freely criticize / Tell nothing except who to idolize / And then say God bless him. While one who sings with his tongue on fire / Gargles in the rat race choir / Bent out of shape from society’s pliers / Cares not to come up any higher / But rather get you down in the hole / That he’s in. But I mean no harm nor put fault / On anyone that lives in a vault / But it’s alright, Ma, if I can’t please him. Old lady judges watch people in pairs / Limited in sex, they dare / To push fake morals, insult and stare / While money doesn’t talk, it swears / Obscenity, who really cares / Propaganda, all is phony. While them that defend what they cannot see / With a killer’s pride, security / It blows the minds most bitterly / For them that think death’s honesty / Won’t fall upon them naturally / Life sometimes / Must get lonely. My eyes collide head-on with stuffed graveyards / False gods, I scuff / At pettiness which plays so rough / Walk upside-down inside handcuffs / Kick my legs to crash it off / Say okay, I have had enough / What else can you show me? And if my thought-dreams could be seen / They’d probably put my head in a guillotine / But it’s alright, Ma, it’s life, and life only. ~Bob Dylan
Another copliments of the residents of Werribee Open Range Zoo
This was taken outside Wet ‘n’ Wild theme park. What it doesn’t show is the mother charging at me from the left… I nearly didn’t see her and just evaded a good old pecking. I quickly backed off as it was “Obviously distressing” her. Whew.
These little Marmot’s were just so funny to watch at Paignton Zoo yesterday.
This trio of very smug looking Dacelo novaeguineae (Kookaburras) was photographed not long after sunrise at Shelley Beach in Port Macquarie , NSW, Australia on a wonderful autumn day. The Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club met there for a sunrise photography session followed by a BBQ breakfast. A great time was had by all including one of the Kookaburras. As our President was holding a tray of very tasty 30cm long sausages, all ready for cooking, one of these enterprising birds swooped out of nowhere, snatched a sausage from the tray and headed for the trees. After bashing the poor hapless sausage against a branch, as they do to their usual prey, this greedy bird proceeded to down the whole 30cm of raw sausage. The guilty looking, gutsy one is on our right. Fuji S9600: f/8 @ 1/150sec. / Lightroom & Photoshop CS3. Visit the Aussie Birds collection in my BubbleSite for more fine feathered friends. Enjoy!

Nikon D90 / Nikkor 50mm 1:1.8 D lens 718 Views Featured in model beginnings My daughter Abi and I did a shoot tonight. Before we did it I told her about a few of my friends on here that were going through some things in their life. She said she felt bad and sad for them and wanted to do some fun shots that might bring a smile to their face. So this is just a fun shot and a big hug from Abi and I. Everything’s gonna be alright…..smile :)
