Since I have some very busy days coming up, and still slaving away in Santa's workshop, I'm posting this early as I guess the same goes for must of us.. Christmas means the joy of giving, good eating, and having fun catching up with family and friends but first of all the remebrance of our True Self represented
by the birth of Christ..

Mia here chirping happily from NZ (yes the All Blacks just beat the Australians in the
World Cup semis) lol (sorry Milli). Not only that, but it feels like Spring is finally here as well... For this week I thought we would do a LINE or TITLE FROM A SONG.
Here's mine, see if you can guess what title it is before you read it....

Greetings from a spring like NZ and what could be more suitable for spring
than the theme for this week: Couples/pairs? We have a couple of swallows
nesting above our front door and the wild goats are roaming in pairs in the
woods lol...
Anything to do with couples or pairs will suit, hope you will
have fun with it...
Smiles are hard to find
when we can't even agree to disagree
but we do look like a charming couple....
Love and harmony
turns into strife and fights
is this Love?

Images & Words #119 - The Seven Deadly Sins
Mia here and welcom to this weekend's theme. I thought we would do something a bit different this time.
We did this in another group recently and it was great fun!
So the theme will be "The Seven Deadly Sins" and you have the choice to depict any one of the 7 sins that you feel will suit.
The Seven Sins are: Sloth, Wrath, Envy, Greed, Gluttony, Lust and
Pride. So you have a few to choose from. Here below is my example of ....
for us when that lucky one is finished" lol

"No Envy No Fear"
Some are reaching, few are there
Want to reign from a hero's chair
Some are scared to fly so high
Well this is how we have to try
Have no envy and no fear
Have no envy and no fear
Brother brother we all see
Your hiding out so painfully
See yourself come out to play
A lover's rain will wash away
Your envy and your fear
So have no envy and no fear
When your sister turns to leave
Only when she's most in need
Take away the cause of pain
By showing her we're all the same
Have no envy and no fear
Have no envy and no fear
Every day we try to find
Search our hearts and our minds
The place we used to call our home
Can't be found when we're alone
So have no envy and no fear
Have no envy and no fear

Images & Words #106- Alone
Mia here this weekend. I decided on a bit of a different theme this week, something
that might make us reflect a bit. The word is: "Alone". So how can this
theme be depicted? It can be someone/something that looks lonely
or alone, or an object that stands alone looking strong... All up to you
and your imagination....
watching the fishes swim by
a lonely soul without a home

Images & Words #101- Photographer/Photography
not getting a chance to take part in the 100th celebration, sounds like everyone had
a super time!
This week I thought we'd try the theme "Photographer/Photography" and with that I mean
anything that depicts that. My example here below is of an innocent photographer totally
unaware of being watched by the Taniwha monster just waiting to pounce on him!!! IIIIIIHHHH!!!
Typical of us photographers isn't it, we are so intent on our subjects, we don't see anything else lol..
Taniwha are water spirits of Maori legend. They may live in rivers, lakes or the sea, and can take many forms; logs, eels, reptiles or whales. They are often regarded by local people as guardians of that stretch of water, but some are evil monsters.

Images & Words #86- Favorite I&W Theme
Welcome to Images & Words for Christmas Week, Mia here.
I'm sorry I haven't been around
for the last couple of times as way too busy here with another house shift and
celebrating Xmas with friends and family. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and wish you a Happy 2011. On behalf of the admins we thank you for your participation in 2010 and it was a joy and privilege to share with you all.
For this weekend's theme I had a chat
with Milli and she suggested we do your "Favorite I&W theme for 2010." So you
look back over the year and pick the theme you loved the most and then choose
a new image for it. Milli also offered to do an album or a slide show from your entries, so please let us know if you don't want your image to be part of that. Thanks Milli! You can see the old I&W posts by clicking on the blog roll on the Home page.
I've picked Joel's theme for week #65 "Antiques and All Things Old", as I love
photographing old cars and things, but never got the chance to post to this one.
So here is a photo I took today in a friends back yard. Hope you enjoy Bugsie lol
Asked a girl what she wanted to be
She said baby, can't you see
I wanna be famous, a star on the screen
But you can do something in between
Baby you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you
I told that girl that my prospects were good
she said baby, it's understood
Working for peanuts is all very fine
But I can show you a better time
Baby you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah
Baby you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you
I told that girl I can start right away
When she said listen babe I got something to say
I got no car and it's breaking my heart
But I've found a driver and that's a start
Baby you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah

Images & Words #81- PRETTY UGLY
Mia here and I'll be your hostess this week. I'm choosing the theme "Pretty Ugly" this time
and with that I mean an image/subject that is so ugly it's pretty, the other
way round or maybe just plain ol' ugly (or just pretty) lol... Here is mine, a picture I took of a big Maori wood carving sitting in the
gardens of a historic house called Couldrey House in Wenderholm Park,
North of Auckland:
so beautifully ugly
you claim the garden
I feel this carving is both ugly and beautiful at the same time lol. Here are some
facts on these types of carvings:
Pou whenua are carved posts placed strategically on the land to acknowledge and represent the relationship between Tāngata Whenua (the people of the land), their ancestors and their environment or tūrangawaewae (place of standing).
In short, they mark the ancestral and contemporary associations between the people (tāngata) and the land (whenua), and as such are very significant to both Māori and their contribution to New Zealand's cultural heritage and identity.

How to Post a Good Sized Picture in a Blog
Some tips to post a "larger" photo in a blog:
There are several options, but these are the ones I use:
Uploading to Flickr or Photobucket, then copying and pasting the HTML code from there. You can choose
the size you want, but 800 x 800 or Large usually gets you a good size. You can also change the size in the HTML code to whatever you want, as long as you keep the proportions of course. You just adjust the size figures..
Also what I've started doing lately is to post from my Multiply Album, but instead of using the
share code I click up to the "Slide-show" choose a suitable size there (usually 600x600) and then just copy and paste the photo itself to the blog. Some programs will let you "drag" and "drop", my Mac won't, and also dragging and dropping means you have to have two windows open..
Often the "share code" doesn't give me a big enough photo for my taste (so then I use the "slide show option"), but usually it's sufficient, so you don't need to click it up to see..
Remember when you use a HTML code to tick in the "Edit HTML" box up to the right in your compose blog page,
or your photo won't come up in the blog...
Most photo sites and groups have guide lines
for posting similar to the following example:
Max size: 800 pixels wide and/or no more than 700 pixels tall.
Min size: 640 pixels wide and/or no more that 700 pixels tall.
Panos only: No more than 950 pixels wide.
Another way of doing it is this:
One simple method for posting a high-res image from your computer to your Multiply blog page begins with posting an image through the blog edit window. I usually set the access to individual people and untic "send to the Multiply Inbox" until I finish this process. Just follow these steps:
1. Open a blog edit window by selecting "Post" and then selecting "Blog."
2. Click on "Insert Images."
3. Select the option to add an image from "Your Computer."
4. Locate the image on your computer, select the file and click "open."
5. A screen will appear that allows you to align your picture. Choose left, center or right.
6. Now the image will appear in your blog edit window. "Save and publish" to exit the window. After you publish the blog you should see a small image similar to the image below.
Click on the picture to access the high-res image.
1. Right-click on the high-res image and select "copy" from the drop-down menu.
2. Use the "back" function in the upper left corner of the page to go back to the previous page.
3. Select "edit" to reopen your blog edit window and paste the high-res image into the window (right-click and select "paste" from the drop-down menu.)
Click on the image (8 small boxes should appear around the image,) then use the "justification" feature in the blog edit window to align the new image.
Add any text you want to your blog entry.
You are ready to publish but first select the "access" and tic "send to the Multiply Inbox." Use "Preview and Spell Check" to view your finished product, then publish. After publishing go to your blog entry to see if you are satisfied with the results. If not make adjustments.
Hope this helps...
Come back to me or the other admins if any more
questions.
Cheers

Images & Words #71- FRESH
Mia here. As some of you might have noticed I'm back on line again and this week
I've chosen the theme "Fresh" for you to chew on lol... So anything that fits that
word is great with me.. This is a photo I took of one of my favorite subjects:
Water Lilies. I think they always look so fresh and colorful growing in the water...
I hope you enjoy this theme and my photo.

There's been a couple of discussions around the rules, so please remember that the photo should be your own, not off the Internet and also if possible, post the photo large enough so nobody has to click it up if they don't want to take that extra time. If you have any problems with that, or anything else, please contact me or another admin. We are here to help and would like
to encourage you all to have a go and get creative and most important,
to have fun!!!

Images & Words #63 - A Portrait
My (Mia) turn again to host the weekly theme, I hope you will
enjoy it. I decided to go with the idea of a "Portrait". It can
be a posed one or candid and not necessarily of a human only lol.
The words you choose need to relate to the image, but that's all...

partner and our doggie Henry..

Images & Words, Week #56- CLOUD 9
Welcome to week #56 of Images & Words, Mia here.
I've chosen the theme of CLOUD 9, which means that you can enter a post
showing what really makes you Happy or Blissful or an image (and words
of course) with cool clouds....
My photo is of a really amazing cloud formation outside our new place the other
day. Hope you enjoy!

And you feel like you are on your own
Stormy weather, calm has never settled there
Think your weary life's beyond repair.
If you were blind I'd give you my eyes
Just so you could see one more sunrise
And maybe then that time you could understand.
There is a place where ends finally meet
Floating up on Cloud Nine baby
There is a place where lost souls always greet
Floating up on Cloud Nine baby.
If only I could be more for you
I'm more than willing to
If you would open your heart to me and let go....
There is a place where one day we will meet
Floating up on Cloud Nine baby.
