Beula Ogemaw (T.T.V.)

Posted on August 17, 2011 by spilledinkguy

I really can’t help where I go with this one. Simple mind, you know.

I’m on a boat…

Everybody look at me, ’cause I’m sailing on a boat…

I’m on a boat…

Take a good hard look at the *explicative* boat…

Very nice, SIG. Love the colours, cool nostalgic feel. I even like the song, but I’d like to hear you singing it and I would also like to know what that expletive was.

  Thank you very much, S.E… I’m still trying to get used to the whole TTV set-up, but it is a lot of fun.
  Hahaha… it’s a pretty rude song, and a very crude hyphenated explicative, but the worst thing of all would be to hear me sing it! Cat’s fighting and scratching on a chalkboard would go over better!

Awesome! I wish I was on a boat! Actually I don’t… I get seasick too easily… but if I didn’t get seasick, I would so be on a boat right now! Maybe not one of these boats though… they look cool but I remember when we were walking by them and they seems to have more than their fair share of fish goo on them. But one of the other more sanitary boats near there… like a yacht, yeah, that I could probably handle. 😉

  Hmm… good point, Annabelle. I guess that’s where the whole deck swabbing thing comes into play. And maybe we could weigh anchor. In some very shallow (and very calm) water.
  “Hey, you scratched my anchor!”

Okay, now I think you’re just messing with us. The elephant picture was a photograph, and this one is a painting. 🙂

  Hahaha…
  I wish this one was a painting! Just think of all the elephants who would be impressed and let me photograph them! 🙂

  Thank you very much, Y.A.W.! I haven’t spent too much time around large bodies of water, but I’ve always been a bit fascinated by boats.
  Thank you for your kind comments!

Thanks, now I have a boat song stuck in my head. 😀

Is that a shrimp boat?

  Hahaha… sorry about that, sir! Still, it’s probably a better song than most of the ones I get stuck in my head!
  You know, I’m not sure what kind of boat it is… I took this photo on Lake Michigan, though (if that helps with identification purposes)…

The style and the subject work really well together in this shot. And now I have that song my head…

  Thanks so much! It was one of the older boats I saw at this marina, and I thought it was pretty interesting.
  Hahaha… sorry about that… I really should have posted a warning prior to the lyrics!

  Ha! I haven’t had any rotten tomatoes thrown at me yet over that, still, it’s nice to hear I’m not the only one!
  I had a hunch you had a nautical themed pashmina afghan! 😉

  I really like the idea of TTL… It’s definitely going to take me a while to get used to maneuvering the set-up, though…

Nice boat, and I’m jealous. I’m on an island; get to enjoy the beach, but I don’t have a boat; guess I better count my blessing, eh. 🙂
Nice post!

  For real? An island? I have to admit, that doesn’t sound too shabby, Deb!
  That is very kind of you to say, thank you!

At first I thought that was the whole boat: It’s taller than it is long!

All the blues and white in this pic are quite soothing.

  For some reason I really hadn’t noticed that! Interesting!

Great composition. I had to check TTV term for a clear definition. Now we have Beula Ogemaw boat right after Knute Rockne gate. So this is a code, right ? The boat was docked (rock-en) and gate is a passage way to a destination (We Go blue….) …. I need more clues, eagerly awaiting next post.

  Thank you very much! Sorry about that… I should have posted a bit more info on the process I was attempting here (which is quite a bit of fun).
  Hahaha… now I feel like it should have been. Or maybe it was on an subconscious level (which would means I could probably use a few more clues, too, I guess)!
  Thank you again, sir! 🙂

Lovely boat!! So much personality! Nice processing (or is that the way the photo was taken??)

  Thank you, sir! Glad to hear you liked this one!
  I can’t take too much credit for processing here. While I did some minor editing in Photoshop, the majority of the ‘effects’ in this one come from how the photo was taken (using my digital SLR to take a photo of a view as seen through the viewfinder of an old Twin Lens Reflex camera). It’s taking me a while to get used to the whole set-up, but it is a lot of fun. 🙂

  D-oh! Guess I must have missed the forecast!
  I’ve never heard that theme (or seen the show), but something tells me the professor penned a catchy tune just for that purpose… (there was a professor, right?)!

  I am very impressed by your knowledge-o-nautical terms… I always have to look up the name of certain parts of a ship!

i love the colors. i love water and boats. except water scares me to death so, figure that one out.

um, i just never understood the naming of the boats.

i am more interested in the story behind the names than i am the actual boat.

  I’m not a big fan of deep water either… I think it goes back to an early swimming pool ‘incident’… and the fact I sink much better than I float!
  
  I have to admit I saw some pretty… interesting… names!
