“Wreck”…Wrecks Me!

As everyone is quite aware of that knows me personally and professionally, you know that I am more than a little remiss in the last few months about my favorite Jabberwocky!…but sometimes I get Extremely Lucky and happen upon something or someone that I think is extremely note worthy and it takes me No Time At All to bring it to everyone’s attention!

Such is the case today! “Wreck” is a friend of mine. “Wreckfish”, is what she is more commonly known by, and I have to say that I have had the privilege to know her for right around 4 months…give or take a day or two!

Through the last four months we have gotten to know each other quite well and oddly enough we are quite the same…although we could not be more different!

We seem to understand each other in some strange, weird way! To her…I am a somewhat odd character and recently she told me that as far as me being crazy…the jury is still out on that one and to me, she is much the same…an odd character that somehow I can relate to!!!

Be that as it May!!! Wreck and I both have our own things that make us tick and for Wreck it is Photography! I have seen Many of her photographs in the past few months and I have to say I think she is more than excellent at what she does!!

Wreck hails from South Africa, so most of her photographs hail from there also. She is not a “still life” photographer but rather a “life artist”.

She has photos of everything from a South African Gentleman carrying an umbrella to being in a helicopter looking down at the dolphins in the ocean.

About the best thing I can say about “Wreck” is…she is real…not only in her life and how she lives but in her photographs.

This is why I have added her to my blogroll, so you can not only get to know the woman but the photographs as well!

For those of you that know me…take my word for it…HDW, Matt, Mark, Plank, Krista, Jan and S.D. from the U.K. grab this link as it is going to be Well Worth Your While!!!

For everyone else…don’t miss this link either, but if you do…Wreckfish is going to be around on this blogroll so you can always pick it up here!

This one’s for you Wreck…You definitely deserve it!!

Wreckfish…The Ninja Worrier

That’s all for me today guys!! Hope to see you back again soon for more…

Wonders Never Cease!

In 2011 it is expected that the New 7 Wonders of Nature will be announced. There is a 3 year contest in progress in which more than 250 sites are in the running for the 7 “prizes” and I must say it is certainly going to be a hard contest to judge as each and every one of the contenders are magnificent in their own right.

Personally I think it was a hard contest to get the list down to just 250 sites considering what Mother Nature has blessed us with in terms of her beauty but it has been done even though I don’t know how!

Below is a link to a slide show of 21 of the 250 contenders that have proven to be among the favorites.

Starting with the Great Barrier Reef along the coast of Queensland, Australia and ending with The Grand Canyon, a mile-deep canyon that has been carved by the Colorado River this slide show is definitely worth the time it takes to view it! Why don’t you check it out and see if you don’t agree with me!
