Red and blue by Ásmundur Þorkelsson

This will be the third 4th of July I’ve been in the USA for (2008, Long Island; 2010, Galveston; 2011, Long Island). Tonight I’m going to a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friends’ birthday party and 4th of July shindig.

Leah, Dan, and I are going to take photographs and video of the various firework displays that are happening practically everywhere; last night (July 3rd) there were fireworks shooting off in every direction.

I’m glad some businesses are still open today — unlike Christmas and Easter (fictional holidays). I’ve crushed a lot of work today!

I know Leah will enjoy this one. The shoes make it even more awesome.

I know it’s been manipulated, but I hope the love heart is actually real. :)

The Times Are-a Changin’ by Derek Jay Steen

I stumbled across this photo on Sunday when I was looking through ice cream photos on my Flickr. I had a little chuckle when I read my observant description:

This faded KFC sign at the entrance of the KFC on the Pacific Highway in Artarmon got me thinking.

KFC used to be pretty simple. Fried Chicken.

Now they offer wraps, popcorn chicken, Krushers (ice cream drinks), and many other treats to entice customers to spend more.

My Dad once told me that he used to work near this KFC, and he would go there for lunch.

Over the many years of change the shop has been redecorated and renovated and this sign has watched it all happen. The sun has faded its once bright colours in to dull hues that will one day fade to white.

The times are-a changin’, my friends. And the Colonel watches on as it does.

This is probably how I look (sans extra long hair; I’ll get there one day) at 0600 hours. I wish I would wake up at 0600 hours every day. Okay, 0700 hours some days. Hoping early to bed will eventually make my wish a reality.

Perfect: the calm before the storm. And then the storm makes everything even more giddy; lightning! :D
