This safe is probably left over from when this abandoned stately home was owned by one of the most renowned ship builders in the town. It looks like some amateur safe cracker has had a go at getting in by collecting all the keys they found laying about the premises and trying them in it.

A hazelnut exploding while being cracked open. This shot was tricky to get. I had to crack the nut and trip the shutter at the same time. It took a few tries until I got it at the right time. I had a good laugh when I found nut fragments on my camera lens after this shot. MY BUBBLESITE

There is a model of an old Cracker House near the Museum in downtown Ft. Myers, Fl. This is just a small peek inside the house. Taken with my Nikon Coolpix P80 camera. Saturation added for effect.
this was a firework as it was shooting up! A little too close for comfort. Featured in Americas – Rural, Urban, Wild and Free July 4,2009 Featured in American Patriot on July 16 2009
Yesterday night we celebrated the most important Indian festival-Diwali or festival of lights. Diwali--the Hindu festival of lights, is the most popular of all the festivals in India, Diwali or Dīpāvali is a significant festival in Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, and Jainism. Adherents of these religions celebrate Diwali as the Festival of Lights. They light diyas—cotton string wicks inserted in small clay pots filled with oil—to signify victory of good over the evil within an individual. The festival of Diwali extends over five days. Because of the lights, fireworks, and sweets involved, it’s a great favorite with children. A row of lights: / The name of the festival comes from the Sanskrit word dipavali, meaning row of lights. Diwali is known as the ‘festival of lights’ because houses, shops, and public places are decorated with small earthenware oil lamps called diyas. These lamps, which are traditionally fueled by mustard oil, are placed in rows in windows, doors and outside buildings to decorate them. The lamps are lit to help the goddess Lakshmi(Goddess of wealth) find her way into people’s homes. On the day of Diwali / Deepavali, many wear new clothes and share sweets and snacks. Legend: / In Hinduism, across many parts of India it is the homecoming of Rama after a 14-year exile in the forest and his victory over Ravana. In the legend, the people of Ayodhya (the capital of his kingdom) welcomed Rama by lighting rows (avali) of lamps (dĭpa), thus its name: dīpāwali. Fireworks: / Fireworks are also a big part of the Diwali celebrations, although in recent years there has been a move against them because of noise and atmospheric pollution. Lakshmi puja: / For hinuds the festival honours Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. Special prayers are held in evening(it’s the most important ritual of Diwali)—people worship Goddess Lakshmi. People start the new business year at Diwali, and some Hindus will say prayers to the goddess for a successful year. Some business communities start their financial year on Diwali and new account books are opened on this day. Hindus will leave the windows and doors of their houses open so that Lakshmi can come in. Rangoli are drawn on the floors – rangoli are patterns and the most popular subject is the lotus flower. This because images of Lakshmi traditionally show her either holding a lotus or sitting on one. There is much feasting and celebration, and the Diwali lamps are regarded as making it easy for Lakshmi to find her way to houses. Gifts: / Like Christmas in the West, Diwali is very much a time for buying and exchanging gifts. Traditionally sweets and dried fruit were very common gifts to exchange, but the festival has become a time for serious shopping-clothes, electronics, cars, two wheelers, gold, silver, kitchen utensils, etc etc. Shops are flooded with people on the eve of festival. It is also best time of year to redecorate home.
Hey Wally? Do YOU want a cracker? Aw. Talk to me. Please. Are you the silent type? Look carefully, I have Saltines. I have heard these are the crackers were the most ‘human friendly’. They cannot possibly become entangled in your beak-less proboscises though you will likely develop the identical hypertension you have been trying to foist upon my species. I, on the other hand, do not nor have ever have eaten anything as gouache as a cracker: Saltine, Ritz, or Wheat Thins. I have never “wanted” to eat a cracker so it amazes me why so many of you speak to me as though I am either an immature human baby or some sort of living toy. I happen to consume the highest quality haute cuisine and it is NOT tossed at me like I am a dog, sir! So Wally wanna cracker? No, you ludicrous lump bare monochromatic flesh? You may consume your own crackers in any manner you see fit to do so. If you would like “suggestions” as to how, I will be more than happy to provide them. No humans were offended in the writing of this piece. The concept of “The REAL conversation” is a hip hop device for saying “This is hardcore truth”. The parrot didn’t talk and I wasn’t about to say anything like “Polly…” when there were other people within earshot. If the parrot COULD talk, he might have ‘layed into me’ just like this. LOL! Shot was take either seconds before or seconds after the other parrot shot in Folsom Zoo with my Nikon D90, using a tripod and my lousy 70-300 mm Nikkor lens. My D90 has refused to talk to me for a week now. If I screwed up any of “The Queen’s English”, forgive me. This needed to sound like a well-educated and sophisticated creature. I’m neither. Actually, the parrots seemed to want to be closer to the humans, appearing to actually like me. LOL!
