It was a strange experience to spend a week in a foreign country and primarily only see a hotel and its surrounding restaurants. I also did not sleep full nights while visiting, often waking well before sunrise to watch the sunrise over the Mediterranean.

The hotel area east of Larkana, Cyprus had three functioning hotels and one abandoned one. Ollie and I would spend a morning wandering around the shell of the former resort.

It is fun to travel around the globe to a hotel on a beach in Cyprus and grab your camera to walk down to the beach to find friends standing there doing the same thing you are. Taking in the scene at your temporary home for the week.

We finally made our second appearance at Falmouth's best restaurant, The Glass Onion. Another fantastic meal was had. If you are with writing distance of the message and need a place to bring your favorite people for a real meal, this is your place.

When px has her little ears down it often means something. In the woods when she is required to "walk good" it means that she is concentrating. When you just arrive home it means she missed you and wonders where you have been.

I am going to need to start compiling the 365 of phoenix images soon. I don't know why, someone should? This is the first time I have recorded this expression which leaves me hopeful that there is still new ground to cover.

(micro-news report by ben allsup for benshotme)At the home of the Allszplat family on Cape Cod Massachusetts this fall has seen a change to couch blanket usage. Seen in this recent picture the gray couch blanket was formerly reserved for only guests using the guest facilities. The household decision to make this blanket a house blanket to be replaced when next guests are due is expected to be seen through.

Just before leaving for Cyprus I invented something major. Micro-news. I hope to begin reporting micro-news in the coming weeks and months. Stay tuned?

Beebee Woods has been damp and calm the last several days. I carry my camera there but generally there is nothing there a I want to shoot. That said out by the farm by ice house farm there is a tree that looks very Tolkien-esk that I could do hobbit portraits by. If only I did portraits and new a hobbit or two.

Time to get the blog all caught up again.... Things have been transpiring against the weekly update lately and now there are 3 weeks worth of catching up to do. Let there be blogs.

Wiki also says Portrait photography is a popular commercial industry all over the world. Many of those words concern me,especially popular, industry and commercial.

So the Wikipedia says about portraiture that the eyes are directed at the recorder/viewer. I guess this is not a family portrait.
day 306 November 2
This year was a phoenix photo every day... I am pretty settled on next year being a portrait everyday. I should probably go look up what portrait actually means.
day 305 November 1
The blog is a little behind, and I have had a bad night. Probably not the best night to try to catch it up (the blog). But on the bright side I need the typing practice. Toad the Wet Sprocket, there I typed it.

six trick or treaters, two frogs, one pumpkin, one gnome, one witch and one tiger princess. It was a banner year.

We really do not encourage this...she only gets busy like this on certain "spots".

The days will be getting short and dark soon might need to set up a living room studio finally....

This post has nothing to do with this picture. Having done a bunch of driving in Europe and now having done some driving on returning to the states, I have decided that the European driver is far superior. Presently my biggest pet peeve with the state side driver is the "I own the road mentality". Just a little reminder to my friends on the road, the left hand lane on the highway is the high speed passing lane. Please do not TRAVEL in this lane!!!

The bottom of the inspirational trough...hopeful to spring onto the next wave here soon...

Little Ella ended up in the hospital, but on the bright side she made some new friends and is now home and feeling much better.
day 284 October 11
After being away from the home we built for longer than I had ever been before, I, we returned to our daily lives fairly seamlessly. Extra puppy kisses aside.
day 283 October 10
I am not exactly stupid, I am not exactly smart. I am a fairly poor front lines editor, but I can often see the correct path.
day 281 October 8
Last year I shot a picture nearly everyday, apparently I missed a day in March. This year I have shot everyday and have in addition added a phoenix 365 photo for each day. The phoenix photo has given me a subject everyday, a reason to shoot. As the year comes to a close I wonder what I might do for next years project. ?
day 280 October 7
I am very behind in the blog at the moment. This makes it seem somewhat more daunting to "catch up". Maybe the pictures alone will have to do.

The day job had myself and a colleague leading the class in instruction of flying yellow submarines.
day 278 October 5
A weariness overcame me while in Kiel, the result of weeks in hotels and on the move. Kiel had a calm quiet reserve that was comforting and disconcerting at the same time. I think some of the photos I took there can capture a little of this.
day 277 October 4
Sometimes you need to step back put your back to the door, take a deep breath, relax and assess the situation.
day 276 October 3
Um... I believe this translates to no peeing on the guy pooping in the nook around the side of the church....

Hotel Berliner, Kiel, Germany. Picked for its proximity to the train station. Enjoyed for gummy bears on pillows and Ikea modernist design.
