In the past, couples were satisfied with taking pictures at the church and reception hall. Then one day someone decided it would be cool to take pictures outdoors. I have no idea when taking outdoor photos became a trend, but the fact is it is now a must have for every brides photo album. I found this out while helping my sister plan her wedding. Every photographer that we met had displayed very few pictures of a bride and groom in a church, but instead they all posted huge poster-sized photos of couples in beautiful outdoor locations!

Suddenly these everyday wedding couples turned into models. It seemed simple for the photographer to take any pretty location, a happy couple, and add on some professional photo effects to make something that was more than just a photo. Instead it was a work of art. Does this sound interesting to you? Then read on to find how to pick a great location for your photos, plus some local places for Michigan Brides to check out.

What types of places should I look for?
Here comes the hard part, finding a place that is not only photogenic, but is also going to work for you. Following are some tips to help you decide where and what kinds of photos you want:

1: Think of your favorite places. It is time to think outside the box! If there is a certain place that is really special to you and your spouse, this is the first place you should look. For example, my brother grew up near Detroit and he made a point to stop at Comerica Park to take a few pictures with the Tiger. These are fun pictures that they are sure to always remember because it is unique and captures a part of their personal history.

Other examples are: the place where you and your fiance first met, the location of your first date, a place you two visit together often that is special to you. Perhaps you just want to stop at some hot spots around town. Whatever the case may be, only do this IF you are willing to let go of your inhibitions. If you are too shy or embarrassed to take photos in front of people who may think you are cuckoo, then you better pass on this idea. By the way, people will think you are cuckoo if you are taking photos in front of the ice cream shop where you had your first date. However, if you know you can open up and just have fun with it, I guarantee you will love your fun and unique pics!

2: What do you find pretty? Some couples find beauty in historical landmarks, houses, and things of that nature. If this is something you enjoy also, check out your local historical hot spots. Many of these historical places are now turned into parks where any visitor can stop by for pictures.

3: Find the water! For some reason I associate outdoor photos with water. It seems like having a lake, pond, river or even the ocean (if you live on the coast) in the background can make any wedding photo just pop. Busy public areas may not be promising as there will likely be a lot of people around, however check out the small lakes and rivers that run by your town. Even if it is just a tiny pond, your photographer should be able to focus on the water in a way that makes it look great in your pictures.

4: Plants and Trees. Plant life is perhaps the main pull for taking photos outside. Almost any tree can add a great backdrop to your photos, and trees can be found in almost any park. OR, if you have a relative with a forest in the backyard, you can even use that! Flowers are more popular in wedding photos, so if you love the thought of a background full of blooming flowers, think about visiting some local gardens or (once again) historical landmarks which are often decorated with flowers. You have to think about the time of year you are taking photos as well since there won't be many flowers found in February, but there will be lots in the summer.

5: Props. If you don't think you can take photos with just water and plants, seek a place that has props. Many parks and other places have pretty gazebos, bridges, fences, and other props that can really add to your photos. These props can also be a great way for your photographer to mix it up a little and provide some variety in your photos.

6: Other ideas. Now that you have an idea of what types of pictures other people take, now you can branch out to think of any other place that comes to mind. Last month I was at a mall with a carousel and saw an entire bridal party come in and ride the carousel for pictures. It was cute and a very unique idea. As mentioned, ideas like this only work if you have the guts to be silly in public.

Once I have an idea, how do I find a place?
Now the research begins! If you live in Southeast Michigan, you can skip down to see things that I already researched. If you live elsewhere, here are some ideas to help you find some local places.

1: Find a park, any park. Start by going to your county's website, or even just driving around to find local parks, lakes, ponds, etc. Make a list of places to visit and explore further. Seek out pictures online to make the future steps easier and quicker.

2: Find historical land. Next, even if historical buildings isn't your thing, you may still find that these places have many pretty backdrops outside of just buildings. Research online to find what kind of historical places are in your town.

3: TheKnot Forums. Visit the forums on www.theknot.com or any other wedding website. TheKnot has a local wedding board so you can find your local area, and chat with others to ask their ideas on where to take photos in your area.

4: Make some phone calls. Before you get too excited about any particular place, call their offices (if there is any) to make sure of the following:
-Verify you have permission to shot photos at their location
-Find out if there are any fees involved
-Find out if you are allowed to “book” the place and also make sure no one has booked it already for the time you need it.

5: Do some footwork. With your list AND a digital camera in hand, take a few members of your bridal party to check out the locations. Take pictures of the locations for further review. You can even make your friends pose for some just for fun. Snap a picture of anything you find interesting about the place so you can remember it later. Don't look at the place in general, but instead look for photo opportunities. A certain place can look dull and drab when you look at the OVERALL area, however if you focus on that group of trees over there, or that gazebo over here, you may see many beautiful photo ops! Remember that your photographer can make the best of almost any area and will be sure to showcase it in a way that looks gorgeous no matter what.

6: The Time Factor: You have to also account for the Time you will need to drive to the location. If you have 3 hours between your ceremony and your reception, but the place you want is 1 hour away, that might not be enough time for you to really take good pictures. Be sure to plan your wedding day schedule before deciding on a place so that you know exactly how much time you have available. Once you know your time constraints, use yahoo maps to find out how long it takes to get from your ceremony to the outdoor location, and then back to your reception. Add buffer time on the trip to allow for things that go wrong. This may help you eliminate places that are just too far, OR you may find yourself rescheduling your day so you can hit the place you wanted the most.

7: Decisions, Decisions. Back at home, review your photos to pick your favorites. Pick your first choice and at least one backup choice just in case something goes wrong with your top choice.

That's it! Easy isn't it? Ok, you might think that is a lot of work, but just imagine how much you are going to enjoy the photos. When I was searching for locations, I quickly found some options. However I wasn't satisfied with them! So I searched and searched until I finally found the beautiful place I picked. Now people see my pictures and they ask me “Where is that? Can I go there?”.

Is this going to cost me?
To be honest, it very well could cost you if you are determined to use a certain location, and that certain location is determined to charge you. However, if you are not dead-set on one particular place, you will definitely be able to find a FREE location to take pictures… it just may take a little footwork on your part.

Places that might charge you: Basically if the place is GORGEOUS, they will probably charge you to use it. There are a few local places by me that are beautifully manicured and taken care of very well…. so of course they won't let you take pictures for free. I chalk it up to the cost it takes to pay the employees that keep the place in shape. You may also find that historical places will charge you for use of their property. This could be anywhere from $100-400 for just a few hours at the location. On the plus side, most places that charge you will also ensure no one else will be on the property distracting your photo time.

Places that probably won't charge you: Public parks or landmarks will most likely not charge you, but at the same time they won't be able to guarantee that no one else will be in your way on that particular day. As for the idea above about taking pics at your favorite places in town, those places are not likely to charge you, and are not even that likely to notice you taking pictures! However be prepared for many onlookers. This is not to say that there are always other people at the free locations, but you should be prepared for that.

What if it rains?
Oh the horror… You've planned everything out, found a beautiful location, and the day of your wedding it pours ALL day? What do you do? This is why you need a backup plan. Find an Indoor location that is also pretty for you to take photos if it comes down to it. My hall had a pretty entrance with a spiral staircase as well as some other features so I knew that if worse came to worse I could take photos here. In fact, we did take some photos there anyway, but we could have taken all of our pics if we had to.

Also check out your church and visit the other rooms. Some churches have very nice reception areas or rooms that could be used for photos if you are stuck. Look at the hotel you are staying at as well since they usually have nice lobbies and sometimes highly decorated areas where photos would be great. Another option could be as simple as your own home. If you have a nice decor, or could add some flowers and backdrops, you may find your house to be a great backup plan for photos. Whatever you do, make sure you plan ahead and have an indoor location picked out as a backup.

Who do you bring with you?
This is purely up to you! You could have your entire bridal party go to each location with you, including parents. I opted to just have the bridesmaids and groomsmen to make things a little easier and took all my family pictures at the church. A third option is for you and your spouse to go it alone. Perhaps you are just looking for some romantic outdoor pictures and you don't want anyone else around.

Let's explore those options a little further for the pros and cons.

WHOLE Bridal Party: On the plus side, you can take pictures with your parents and everyone else using the pretty backdrops of your location. On the down side, your parents have to travel with you, usually driving separate from you since you and your attendants are probably in a limo, and your parents have little to no break in between the ceremony and the wedding. If your parents are having family at their house in between, they would miss most of this time as they would be taking photos with you. As an option, you can have your parents come and take your family photos FIRST so that your parents can head home while you finish up with the rest of your bridal party.

Bridesmaids and Groomsmen: This includes flower girls and ring-bearers, but that is also optional. The plus side of bringing your bridal party is that you can take lots of fun pictures. Being outdoors usually leads to more ideas for unique pics, silly pics, or cool pics that you will all remember. The only downside is that your bridal party may get bored and/or restless when you and your spouse are taking couple photos. You can always stash some food and drinks in the limos and tell them to go eat when you are done with them so you can get some alone time.

Just Us: If you really don't care about taking your bridal party pics outside at all, then just make it a private escape. The pro is that your photographer has a lot more time with just the two of you so that she can set up a lot of different and romantic shots. Since no one you know would be around to tease you, you may be more willing to take serious pictures or other types that you normally wouldn't take in front of other people. On the downside, it would not be as fun in my opinion. Spending the whole day with your bridal party is definitely more fun. You have years and years to be alone with your new spouse, so if you don't feel the need to be alone with each other now than bring the group.

Where could I take pics in Southeast Michigan?
Like I said, it takes a lot of footwork to find a place that is good for you and works for your purposes and times. Since I already did a lot of that footwork, here are some ideas for you. Some are free, some are pricey, some will take more research from you, it all depends on what you are willing to do.

1: Mill Race
I choose this place after I found a picture of a wedding couple online that said the picture was taken in Northville, MI. I asked around until I finally learned this was Mill Race. I called and they said they were available for a few hours for me to take photos that day… and those few hours perfectly coincided with my wedding day schedule! Best of all, it was free! Check out my attachments for photos that we took there*. They do not allow people to book the park for photos, so there was a risk of other guests visiting, or someone else booking the park for an event and preventing me from using it. The person I spoke to said she would start asking us to leave 15 minutes before the planned event that was scheduled, but that she wouldn't toss us out as long as we were wrapping up. When we went, there was no visitors. However, you still have to call and check because they do allow people to book the place for wedding ceremonies. Call in advance, and then call again when the time comes closer just to make sure it is still open. Have a back up plan in case it is not.

Mill Race is located at 215 Griswold, Northville, MI. Be sure to visit before the wedding day so you don't get lost! Print maps for your limo driver and photographer.

2: Newburgh Lake (Pointe)
This was my back up plan. As a public area, there was no worry of this place being booked. Check out my attachments for photos I took when I went to check it out. This pretty location has the background of the lake, as well as some interesting benches, stairs, and trees that can be used to make very nice backdrops. Just be forewarned that since this is a public park, you may have some onlookers as you are taking photos. You may have onlookers in ANY park though, so just get used to it!

Newburgh Lake is located at Edward Hines and Newburgh Road, Livonia, MI. Another semi-confusing place, so find it before you plan it!

3. Greenmead Historical Park
I have never been here but I was recommended by a few friends to check it out. I called and did find out it was free to take pictures, however it was slightly complicated as they wanted to set a meeting with me to come see the park rather than just letting me go. I had this in my back pocket as a “just in case” place, but since my 1 and 2 seemed to work out, I never ended up visiting. Apparently it's a nice Historical area that is kept in decent shape for visitors.

Greenmead Historical Park is located at 20501 N Newburgh Road, Livonia, MI.

4. Governer Warner Mansion
If you have cash to burn, or you are willing to pay for a great location, this place looks great. I've never been since I called and they said they charge something like $300 for permission to take photos, however their website is full of pics displaying their beautiful gardens, benches, at least one gazebo and more. At one point I had found a garden tour showcasing so many pretty flowers at this location, but I can't seem to find the link now. It's probably better just to visit yourself! You should be able to negotiate being able to do a quick walkthrough for free so you can see the location.

Governor Warner Mansion and Museum is located at 33805 Grand River Avenue, Farmington, MI. Very pretty and well manicured, but pricey!

5: Heritage Park
This location had a very pretty gazebo and a lake, however they also charged for usage. I believe they stated around $200. Besides that, the gazebo was the only thing I really liked about the place. However, if you take a look at there website, you may find more photo ops for you. It's worth checking out if you are really looking for the best place for you.

Heritage Park is located at Heritage Park Dr., west of Canton Center, south of Cherry Hill.

6. Kellogg Park
This location has a very nice fountain that would make a great backdrop for photos, however I'm not sure what else the park has to offer. It is worth checking out if you live in or near Plymouth.

Kellogg Park is located at North Main in Plymouth, MI. In the link, click to see the Parks Brochure and on page 2 you will see thefountain.

7: Meadowbrook Hall
If you have the time, or live closer to Meadowbrook Hall in … MI, you should definitely check it out. See attached photo* as we took our engagement photos there. Also free, this location is very pretty and can lead to many beautiful photos! Please note, while we were able to take our engagement pictures for free, our photographer did note that they will probably charge if you want to take wedding photos there. Please also note that people may book areas of the hall for events and weddings and therefore you may not be allowed to take pictures everywhere, or maybe not even at all. Call to figure this out before you fall in love with th

Meadowbrook Hall is located at Oakland University in Rochester, MI. Plenty of pretty photo ops at this location.

8: Hines Drive, Local Parks etc.
I've listed a place along Hines Drive already, but wanted to note that there are many pretty locations along Hines Drive! A lot of them may not look the greatest at first, but as mentioned above, if you focus on certain aspects of Hines Drive you can find some very nice photo ops. If you are really stuck for where to take pictures, try driving up and down Hines Drive, taking pictures of your favorite spots. You should find plenty of places to take pics. Check out this map of Wayne County as well as Hines Drives parks for some locations and pictures.

The same can be said for almost any local park. Even though you may have been to a certain park, and you didn't think it was very pretty, I ask you to visit again. Once again, put your camera goggles on and only look for photo ops. I bet that even your local school park has a few spots that would make for pretty photos. Check out this map of Livonia, MI Parks or this map of Canton, MI Parks or this map of Plymouth, MI Parks for a starting point.

Wrapping it all up
In the end, if having pretty outdoor photos is important to you, then you will need to do some research in order to get it just right. It would be easy to say “I'll just go to this park”, but with the amount you are probably spending on photographers, it would be nice to get the BEST place you can find instead of the everyday place. Even if you think you have time to figure this out, it's a good idea to start planning early in case you have to book a place in advance. Enjoy your searching!!

Betty White sex photos?! Sounds like hooey, but who knows what this kinky minx was up to in her younger days. According to the gossip blog ZackTaylor.ca, “industry insiders” have been contacted about purchasing four photographs of 88-year-old White and her late husband, Allen Ludden, a television host, allegedly engaged in “sexual activities.” That could mean anything from a chaste peck on the lips to … well … anything Tila Tequila would do. The photos were allegedly found in a box of memorabilia left behind at the Golden Girl’s old house.

Oh, Betty! We would expect this from that hussy Rue McClanahan but not from you. [ZackTaylor.ca, Showbiz Spy]

In my own point of view, would say that the Pentax has really gone a long way in trying to prove their credibility in the digital camera market. The Optio Z10 manufactured by the Pentax Company features a 7x optical zoom lens, which the highest intensification among recent Pentax line of compact digital cameras. The lens does not stick out from the camera while zooming because it is designed with a refraction lens system. The Pentax Z10's 7x optical zoom covers a range wide-angle of 38mm corresponding to a reasonable 266mm comparable telephoto. An 8 mega-pixel sensor and a 2.5-inch LCD monitory, which has 230,000 pixels is featured in the lens of the camera. Due to the effectiveness of the LCD monitor, the role of the viewfinder is insignificant in this device.

The Z10 digital camera features 15 modes in snapping shots, with a high speed face detection for improved pictures, digital Shake Reduction, a unique Digital Wide function, and Foto-Nation's red-eyes.

A lithium-ion rechargeable battery or discretionary AC adapter supplies power to the camera of the Pentax Z10. The device is features with a built-in memory of 52Mb also images are saved on the SD/SDHC cards. The device is also equipped with a USB 2.0 High-Speed computer connectivity and NTSC / PAL video out to permit a procurer to see his or her portraits or movies on a television screen.

Grip and controls of the Pentax Optio Z10 Digital Camera

The surface of the device is also very polished, and light to touch, but very hard to hold. The tiny chrome nitty-gritty on the lens entrance does less than the camera's general thickness to institute a grasp; it is advisable for a procurer to attach the wrist fastening to the slick.

A procurer or a neophyte photographer does not need to go through the manual over and over before he or she understands the control of the camera. Once you use a digital camera in time past, using the Pentax Z10 will not be difficult to manipulate. The right thumb and index finger is the most important factor when using this camera. Users or procurer with big hands would find the control a little bit difficult but get accustom to it in just a few hours. The switches are just solid enough to oppose unintentional commencement in normal exercise.

Drive, Macro, Mode, and Flash mode switches are the four navigator buttons found in the device. Once they are punch at a point the mode's menu will pop up, then a procurer will either push it continually to cycle through the obtainable modes, or use the other arrow buttons to select his or her choice of mode

LCD viewfinder of the Pentax Optio Z10 Digital Camera

The 2.5-inch LCD is the Pentax Z10's viewfinder, and it's appealing exact at wide angle, although a little taut at telephoto. The LCD monitor of the Pentax Z10 digital camera features a resolution of 230,000 pixels, and a wide 170-degree screening angle.

Lens of the Pentax Optio Z10 Digital Camera

The Pentax Z10 digital camera features a 7x ocular zoom harmonizing with an 8-megapixel feeler that is adequate for 11×14-inch prints, but not without some deformation, chromatic peculiarity, and corner gentleness, unluckily.

The lens covers a range of 38 – 266mm correspondingly. Although that is not a very wide-angle scenery, the zoom is rather to value in such a tiny wrap up. The Zoom action of the camera is appealing quick, with a lot of steps, with none of the typical change of casing as the lens refocuses when a procurer stop zooming.

The Pentax Z10 digital camera lens cover acquiesces steadily, but effortlessly to a drag to the right, feeling basically indistinguishable to the innovative Sony T-1's sliding lens wrap.

Interface of the Pentax Optio Z10 Digital Camera

The menu of the Pentax Z10 digital camera is simple to find the way. Inside the sub-pages a procurer can modify sounds, set his or her language favorites, date and time, and even do some modification on white balance, light metering, and focus choices. Pentax Z10 Image Quality of the Pentax Optio Z10 Digital Camera

The Color intensity of the device is subordinate-par and color swing seems to be a diminutive superior than usual.

The Pentax Z10 digital camera has a lot of features that would blow the curiosity of every procurer around the world. It is handy for both neophyte and professional photographers all over the world. Check your local shop for adequate pricing.

Whether you are completely new to horses or just to Arabians, you may find yourself looking at the names in your new horse's pedigree with a bit of bewilderment. Here are some explanations of some of the things you might see on your horse's pedigree and how to find further information on specific horses.

If you have your horse's certificate of registration with the Arabian Horse Association (AHA), you'll usually see the horse's name in the center with a tree of names leading off behind it. On top is the sire (father) and bottom the dam (mother). Underneath the name is usually the birth year of the horse, the color, and the registration number. Colors are: B = bay, C = chestnut, G = grey, W = white, and K = black.

You might come across a horse with an asterisk (*) in front of their name such as *Raffles. This symbol simply indicates that the horse was imported to the United States from another country.

The horse might also have symbols after this name such as +, ++, +/, +++, +//, ++++. This would look like Winraff ++ or Khemosabi ++++. These symbols are not part of their name, but signify achievement awards the horse has received. When enrolled in an achievement program through AHA, the horse gather points by competing and placing in Arabian shows, endurance events, dressage, and more. For each set amount of points the horse accumulates, they are awarded a symbol starting with the Legion of Honor (+). It then goes to a Legion of Merit (++), Legion of Supreme Honor (+/), Legion of Supreme Merit (+++), Legion of Excellence (+//), and Legion of Masters (++++).

As you look through the pedigree you might see several horses with the same beginning name or same set of initials in front of or behind a name. This is a common practice in Arabian breeding that the breeder of the horse names the horse with their barn name or initials. Some farms such as Al-Marah Arabians may use either their farm name in the case of Al-Marah Ibn Indraff or the initials in the case of AM Sea Captain.

You may notice many horses with names that include Ibn or Bint. These do not follow the above with being associated with a farm or person. Instead Ibn means “son of” and Bint means “daughter of”.

To start researching your horse's pedigree, the internet is a great resource. Try searching for the farm that bred your horse, your horse's name, names of parents, grandparents, and further back. Also if you know the breeder or owner of horses in the pedigree try searching for them. There is a wealth of information on the internet, unfortunately some of it is incorrect so double check things if possible.

Get a subscription to the Arabian Datasource. The Arabian Datasource is the online studbooks for AHA. Through this you can find past owners of your horse (as long as they transferred registration to their name), search for progeny, show records, extended pedigrees, siblings, and more. It also contains some pictures.

Look for old Arabian magazines such as Arabian Horse World, Arabian Horse Times, Arabian Visions, Arabian Horse Journal, and the Arabian Horse News. The January issues of the older Arabian Horse Worlds contained what was called the “Foto Finish” a listing of all the horses that appeared the previous year in any issue of the Arabian Horse World. The Arabian Horse News are wonderful as they contain many horses you might not see in many of the bigger publications and also date back farther than the other magazines. Only caution with the Arabian Horse News is that there are often misprints on identification of pictures.

Old show catalogs for shows such as Scottsdale or the Nationals often featured pictures of horses. Also old sales catalogs feature many horses you might not otherwise find and information such as show wins and more. Check places like Ebay or used bookstores for many of these magazines.

We're guessing that there are a lot of celebrities out there shaking in their boots with the recent trend of mistresses coming forward and getting large payouts from tabloids to sell their stories. And things didn't go too well when the mistress shit hit the fan for Tiger Woods and Jesse James – both who are doing time in sex rehab.

Now, on the heels of a Jesse James Nazi photo published by US magazine, James reportedly checked into an Arizona facility called the Sierra Tucson, which specializes in drug, alcohol and sex addiction, as well as other disorders. Ironically, this is the same facility Sandra Bullock spent time in while researching her role as an alcoholic who goes to rehab in the comedy, 28 Days. James was stopped by police last Friday while enroute to the rehab facility. James, who was stopped for driving without a front license plate and driving with tinted windows, confided in the officer that he was going to Arizona to try to save his marriage.

There is no word on how long James' process of “sex rehabilitation” will take, but it sounds like Bullock is set to begin divorce proceedings anyway.

Of the Jesse James Nazi picture in Us, sources tell the magazine that James is “just a history buff. He had a stepmom whose father lost family in the camps, and they'd talk about it growing up. Jesse's not a white supremacist.”

Jesse James Hitler Photo Revealed; James In Rehab

• Last week, Us Weekly declined to publish a photograph picturing Jesse James doing a “Heil Hitler” gesture. But this week, guess who's running the picture?

Change of heart? Or did the person selling the snap drop the price? [ONTD via Us]

• Jesse James is in an Arizona rehab facility called Sierra Tucson. The treatment center specializes in drug, alcohol and sex addiction, among others. Guess this is what Jesse meant when a cop stopped him on the freeway last Friday and he said he was going to Arizona to save his marriage.
• Jesse James is allegedly begging Sandra Bullock not to divorce him, but she thinks the rehab is too little, too late. [Radar Online]
• A “source” close to the couple says: “Sandra suspected that Jesse was cheating [before Michelle McGee came forward].” The source continues: “They got into four or five blowouts over it and every time he denied everything. He admitted going to strip clubs, but that's it.” [Radar Online]
• Michelle “Bombshell” McGee's father says she is “done” with Jesse James: “She doesn't care [about Jesse's other mistresses]. She thinks he's a snake now. She did care when she thought she was the only one.” [Radar Online]
• Brigitte Daguerre, the third lady who claims to have had an affair with Jesse James, used to be a dominatrix. [Radar Online]
• Megan Fox has turned down the lead in the next Tomb Raider movie because she doesn't want to be compared to Angelina Jolie. As always, consider the source on this. [Showbiz Spy]
• Bravo has not decided if there will be a second season of the Kelly Cutrone show Kell On Earth, but Kelly has just “signed a major deal in L.A.” to executive produce and write a scripted TV show about the fashion industry. Plus, she'll be executive producing two other reality shows and appearing on The City. [NY Mag]
• After Michael Lohan had a press conference urging Lindsay Lohan to go to rehab. Lindsay's friend Jenni Muro is speaking out: “As one of Lindsay's closest friends, business partner, and former day-to-day manager… the news of any type of press conference saddens me for the simple fact that this is her FATHER.  I normally do not comment or engage publicly, but it is important for people to understand how inappropriate today's actions are. As far as the media, public, and fans are concerned; Lindsay is working on numerous projects and anyone who makes public judgments of her, it affects her more than personally.  It affects her ability to do more work and prosper in all regards.  I stand by my friend, always have and always will.” So wait, is she on drugs or not? [Radar Online]
• “I have had a very bad feeling for a while that Lindsay is going to have a major injury. I fear for her. If the reports are true that she is taking pills, I would love to know who is prescribing them to her. Who are you and why are you prescribing pills to Lindsay? I have always said that Lindsay Lohan can be a wonderful, recovering person, provided she gets treatment and successfully completes rehab.” So says Dr. Drew Pinsky, who would like to have Lindsay Lohan by having her on the upcoming season of Celebrity Rehab. “I would love to help her any way I could, either in a public or private setting.” [Radar Online]
• Katy Perry is working with two designers to create a two-piece wedding gown. “From the back, she wants to look like a traditional bride, with a very long train, but from the front, she wants a Vegas-style sequined number with exposed skin.” Will there also be a showgirl-style feathered headdress? Fingers crossed!
• Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt ask that you now call them by their “true native-American names”: White Wolf and Running Bear.
• Um, Kate Gosselin will be doing a Jon-and-Kate themed number on Dancing With The Stars. Her partner, Tony Dovolani, will be channeling Jon. What does this mean? Ed Hardy shirts? Stoned expression? “[It will be] dramatic,” says Kate. Tony adds: “Lots of drama.”
• More DWTS drama: Pamela Anderson “can't stand” Kate Gosselin. [MSNBC Scoop]
• Sad face: Adrian Grenier tried to save a dog on the side of the road but it was already dead. [Radar Online]
• “A judge is sending a man arrested outside a school attended by Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck's daughter to a state mental hospital.”
• The District Attorney has written a “scathing, 32-page document” to Roman Polanski, which reads, in part, “the people are fully willing to conduct a hearing on the now 32-year-old accusations, but insist on the condition that defendant Polanski present himself to the jurisdiction of the Superior Court.” In other words: Show up in court. [The Wrap]
• The District Attorneys argue that “allowing Polanski to avoid extradition hurts the integrity of the judicial system more than revelations of alleged misconduct by a now-deceased judge who handled the case in the 1970s.”
• Everything you never wanted to know about Tiger Woods' sex life: Now in Vanity Fair! [NY Post]
• Will Lady Gaga do the new Bond theme song? You only live twice! [ONTD via Contact Music]
• Kim Kardashian does not think you should text and drive: “I had an awful texting and driving experience, can't wait to share it with u all one day! Seriously its so unsafe and its so preventable!!!”
• Simon Cowell is buying his fiancée Mezhgan Hussainy a $120,000 1954 convertible Jag-you-ar for her birthday.
• More on this in Midweek Madness, but there were things “missing” from Bethenny Frankel's wedding. Also, if you want to see the dress, it's in a picture at the link.
• Bodyguard Alberto Alvarez has been fired by Michael Jackson's family after they discovered that he had a criminal record. Alvarez was the one who called 911 the day that Michael Jackson died. [Radar Online]
• Joe Jackson intends to file a wrongful death suit against Michael Jackson's physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, within 90 days.
• Michael Jackson fans have raised money to fly an airplane banner over the LA courthouse when Dr. Murray is scheduled to show up; the sign will read: “We demand justice for Michael Jackson.”
• This story about a practical joke Casey Affleck played on Matt Damon is kind of hilarious. Have you noticed that all gossip items about Matt Damon just reinforce the notion that he's a great guy? [Page Six]
• Does Stephen Spielberg have a “dome of silence” in his office and a never-used motorcycle parked outside in case he needs to make a getaway? [Page Six]
• Anthony Hopkins is stirring up trouble on the set of Thor: He's not impressed by the acting skills of Chris Hemsworth, who plays the title character, and also keeps complaining that they're shooting too many scenes inside the studio and not enough on location.
• In a video at the link, Larry King interrupts Sinead O'Connor as she talks about the Catholic Church. (FYI: She has hair now.) [NY Mag]
• A hair salon is suing Kelis for $5,000, claiming she didn't pay for a hairpiece. A chance to use the ANTM catchphrase “Unbeweavable”! [Page Six]
• Sean “Diddy” Combs made a U-turn in the middle of Sunset Boulevard in L.A., and the cops wrote him up.
• From a review of The Last Song: “It's the worst of both worlds… Displaying approximately 1½ expressions, the teenage Cyrus pouts her way through a fire, a wedding and a funeral… This being the sort of movie where the audience knows what's going to happen about 45 minutes before the characters do… [Miley and real-life boyfriend have] a total lack of on-screen chemistry.” [NY Post]
• Hollywood Is Out Of Ideas Part MMMMDLXIX, '80s Edition: Anna Faris will star in a remake of Private Benjamin.
• “Mindy McCready has fired off a nasty threat to the porno company planning to distribute her sex tape — destroy the tape … or her lawyer will unleash hell.”
• Greenberg actress Greta Gerwig likes Chanel nail polish. [Vanity Fair]
• Stanley Tucci is directing screwball comedy Lend Me A Tenor on Broadway, and says: “As a director, you have to have a clear vision of what you want but at the same time realize that it's a collaborative effort. Ultimately, the three most important words a director can say are 'I don't know.' You can't pretend to know what you're doing all the time; then you're a charlatan.” [USA Today]
• Kylie Minogue is the most powerful celebrity in Britain?
• Life moves pretty fast! Got $60,000? You can buy the Ferrari from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Oh. Yeah. [NY Post]
• “Dresses that the late Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith wore to the Kentucky Derby will be displayed at the Kentucky Derby Museum.”
• “Deaf and hard of hearing people make up one of the largest minority groups, and yet there has never been a show, a reality documentary series that features what life is like for them. I didn't want to wait for the networks to warm up to the idea of whether the show would be a hit or not with audiences. So I decided to put it out there on my own terns. YouTube is akin to having my own network.” — Marlee Matlin, who has a series, My Deaf Family, on YouTube. [LA Times]
• “Rings are overrated, I think marriage doesn't necessarily happen to two people who love each other – if you love him, I say it's OK [to wait]. Do I want to get married? I might maybe in 10 years but I don't see myself getting married. I don't think marriage is as important as kids are.” — Amanda Seyfried.
• “He'll be one of the ring bearers. I don't know if I'll give him the actual ring. He would probably run away with it or eat it or something.” — Carrie Underwood would like to have her dog at her wedding.
• “I'm looking. If you have anything, please call. But right now, it's more like, wait, don't rush. The most dangerous time for me was when I was like, 'I gotta keep working.' It doesn't hurt to look harder and take your time.” — after rehab and heart surgery, Robin Williams is interested in doing another movie. [USA Today]
• “My thing about politicians is that ultimately they're never really accountable for what they do. I think that's awful. No one goes, 'Wait a minute, Tony — before you go, don't you think we have a right to know about this and this?' People are dead, there's blood on the streets, and is anyone accountable? I was pleased that Blair had to sit down and answer for his decisions. And saddened that Bush never will. Bush has retired to the golf course. I cannot stomach that. It's not right. Blair hasn't said sorry or, by all accounts, made any comment to the kids who lost their arms and legs and eyes. Probably thousands of kids – and he hasn't visited them. I don't know how you live with yourself, really.” — Ewan McGregor. [Daily Express]
• “Sandra Bullock should get a dog, now that she's ditching that ass.” — Norah Jones laughed when Bruce Littlefield said this. [Page Six]
• “When I see the footage, I'm shocked. I see myself playing with my lemurs, and then I see footage of the stuff around my house… It does look a little Alice in Wonderland-ish. Apparently, I am very eccentric. I had no idea.” — Kirstie Alley, on her new reality show. [LA Times]

Friends of Tandy Hills Natural Area

Don Young shows us the plethora of flora on display at THNA.

For weeks now I've been feeling like an expectant father, pacing the halls of Tandy Hills Natural Area, waiting for Mother Nature to deliver Spring 2010. Trout Lilies were nice but, the “harbingers of Spring” have all but left the building, their trout-speckled leaves fading into the big green of April.

In their place, a circus of color is slowly setting up shop – unfurling, unfolding, unraveling and unleashing breathtaking acts from the depths of the limestone underground. Grasses, too, are silently twisting and drilling their way to the light above the wild queendom that is Tandy Hills.

Seeps are bubbling; creek-beds are making music with running water; Hawks, Monarchs and honeybees float under sunny skies; mammals, snakes and lizards are cautiously peeking out from their cover, getting ready for a spin on the wheel of life. Spring at THNA is alive and well.

I taken a lot of Pics in the last months – please tell me if you think they are good:

source Tell me if you like them – i love to discuss the photos with you!

If you write articles, own a blog or a website, or even a newsletter you'll probably find yourself eventually looking for free stock images, visuals or photos. Some blog owners and writers use images that are copyrighted, which can get you in trouble and even, in extreme cases, cause a lawsuit to be filed against you – which you obviously don't want to happen. So if you do need free stock images, visuals or photographs for your online work, where should you go online to get them? Try these sources for free stock images, visuals and photographs and your articles, blog, website or newsletter will look even better.

FreeStockPhotos.com – You can use photos from this website for free for both personal and commercial use. You just have to make sure you list the photographer's name, and put the name of the website, FreeStockPhotos.com near the photograph you've used. And, of course, you can't sell the photograph to somebody else. Their categories of pictures are a bit limited but they have a good selection of photos and stock images in categories such as Animals, Christian, Egypt, Israel, Near East, Plants, Rome, Scenery and Sky.

Wikimedia Commons – At Wikimedia Commons, you can get free images and pictures, sound files and even some multimedia files for free use. All of the content is either in the public domain or released under a GNU Free Documentation License, and they have millions of images available in hundreds of thousands of categories. I've used photographs of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, cities in England, flowers, cups of coffee, garden gnomes, flags, food and a lot more subjects. I particularly like the photos that are taken by government employees as they are all usually in the public domain, and are of subjects you may not have access to otherwise. All you have to do is make sure you put the name of the photographer, videographer or picture creator near the file you choose to use, and mention what license it's been released under.

SXC – SXC has over 393,000 photographs available for use. They also have a great selection of tutorials on things like Coloring a Drawing, Getting Flawless Skin on Photos, How to Colorize a Black and White Image, and Making Reflections. They also have photos and images in a few hundred categories from continents to cities, animals to architecture, medical to computers. They have standard restrictions, which you can read at the bottom of every photo or image available, as well as photos from photographers who want more restrictions to be applied to their photos. Overall, I think the quality of photos is better on Wikimedia Commons, but SXC does have some unusual photos, so check both sources before you decide.

FreePhotos.com – You can use any of the more than 1,600 photos available on FreePhotos.com as long as you credit the photographer and do a link back to the website. They have photos in categories such as Asia, Fast Food, Motorcycles, Cameras, Musical Instruments, Animals, Sports and even Artistic and Texture. You do have to sign up for a membership to be able to download or upload, but it's a free membership.

PhotoRogue.com – PhotoRogue is really cool because, if you want a photograph but can't find it, you can make a request and a photographer might just go out and get it for you. You can be quite specific too. There are currently 94 albums with almost 700 photographs requested by people. Some of the requests include photographs of the coffee shop in the Elliot Bay Book Co, because it was supposedly used for the coffee shop on Frasier, and comparisons between milk moustaches and Guinness moustaches.

These are just five of the many websites out there where you can get free stock photo images and visuals for use on blogs, articles, newsletters and more. Check out these sources and if, by any chance, you can't find what you're looking for, do a web search for free photos. There's lots of stuff out there. Just make sure you read the requirements for downloading and credit the photographer and website where necessary.
