Out the Door L
We INterrupt the scheduled Urban Sunrise for this
Posted by Lorraine (Gatineau, Canada) on 7 December 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.
News Flash
Arabella Aroma has been found. After having mysteriously disappeared in the home of this here photographer, Arabella Aroma disappeared. The house was swept, even the garbage checked, the kittens followed...NO Arabella Aroma. This morning this apparently forgetful photographer remembered after a solid 10 hour-sleep that the last thing she had been doing when enjoying her new pink thing she didn't have a name for yet, she remembered eating an Apple! Oh Glory Be, Arabella was found with the apple. She hasn't gotten over it yet, and has made her demands...After a few minutes of fresh air, see above she demanded to be transported where ever this said photographer goes today outside, 'cause she smells like shhh...garbage. And since she has spent an atrociously stinky night, this photographer has to go out and buy all the other little thingies there 'cause she needs friends, after being traumatized in the dark garbage stinky bin. Oh and also her new Name is : ArabellaAroma.
In My Defence, I say: It's ALL JJ's Fault!

well composed...the different between light and shadows, we call it: like a "scherenschnitt"
Papercutting is the art of cutting paper designs. The art has evolved uniquely all over the world to adopt to different cultural styles.

JJ from Jersey City, United States
such a beautiful early morning glow and lovely silhouettes what a refreshing scene to see in the morning
7 Dec 2008 11:49am
@JJ: LOL oooo that was such a beautiful comment JJ too bad...lol
JJ from Jersey City, United States
LOL Well Hi to Arabella Aroma. and in my defense I will say my Bahbahra series may have instigated you to go looking and find Arabella Aroma, but in now way can be blamed for mixing her up for the emnants of an apple core ;)
7 Dec 2008 11:51am
@JJ: I figure you wouldn't be that dumb lol SEE what you did to me with your Bahbahra...
JJ from Jersey City, United States
I must check my spelling better before hitting the post comment button
I meant to say in No Way can I be blamed for confusing Arabelle for the remnants of an apple LOL
7 Dec 2008 12:51pm
@JJ: Oh I have a magical eye that sees the comments as they are intented...it's a burden! lol your comment is hilarious, tomorrow part 2 - and again I blame on you !
Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
That beautiful sunrise disappeared in a FLASH and in its place came your Arabella Aroma friend - what a surprise. Hmm, a ten-hour sleep, were you drinking something while eating that apple? :D
Let me think ... tomato juice helps remove skunk spray ... what will help Arabella's Aroma?
7 Dec 2008 1:00pm
@Judy: Well LOL aww The fresh air and snow storm helped her...although she asked for a fur coat...I'd say spoiled but she says after her night in the garbage can she deserves it...plus part 2 and the end tomorrow...
Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Woow, what a thriller.
Cheers!
Thanks for your welcoming.
7 Dec 2008 1:03pm
@Paco Díaz: Part 2 tomorrow where her friends need name...mmmm Paco could be a good name ;) lol you're welcome sweetie :)
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Way more fun than a sunrise shot. If you're trying to clear up her aroma, try some enzyme sprays for cat pee. It really works well. Pure lemon juice first if you're not wanting to do the cat spray stuff.
7 Dec 2008 1:37pm
@Viewfinder: Yeeewww Vf, but good suggestion lol she had some fresh air, she doesn't stink so much anymore...stay tuned for tomorrow I'm looking for names for her companions...last of the series...I don't want to impinge on JJ's fabulous idea!
Calusarus from St Sorlin en Valloire, France
Bahbahra, and then Arabella Aroma : they are several… THEY are here, David Vincent has seen them…
7 Dec 2008 2:23pm
@Calusarus: What? there are several? yep I bought more,see tomorrow, I'm looking for names? who's David Vincent?????????they are where?
@Kathy: Only for Arabella Aroma ;)

@Anonymous: WEll Comlumbian thank you so much, your first visit and I bet you already think I'm insane, I'm usually not, It's all JJ's fault...Hope to see you again...part 2 of this series tomorrow...then only really pretty stuff , hum
MontereyJohn from Salinas, California, United States
Too funny! I'm sure you'll be some time making it all up to her.
7 Dec 2008 4:38pm
@MontereyJohn: i have John, so, so much lol no part 2 tomorrow, i've done my part :)
jamesy from christchurch, New Zealand
How lucky you are Arabella Aroma to have been found, saved from a trashy ending. She is great Lorraine
7 Dec 2008 5:04pm
@jamesy: LOL love your comment Debbie, thanks so much...
@yiannis krikis: Yiannis, it's JJ's fault :)
Barbara from Florida, United States
Well I am missing the soap opera and drama going on here. Poor Arabella Aroma has been through some trauma and has made her debut. We welcome her with open arms. A good fluff in the dryer with a dryer sheet may help that "aroma" although a squeeze in soap may work too. Still lovable either way. Having her with you today and giving some TLC I am sure all is forgiven.
All this and I have had my little friend who has wanted to make his debut but did not want to intrude on Bahbahra, now Arabella. He hasn't a name yet and is still very shy. His day may come to appear.
Love the update Lorraine.
7 Dec 2008 5:17pm
@Barbara: Geesh that's so much better than my idea Arabella Aroma is giving some gruff saying you should have found her....alas...I'm not going to post HER tomorrow I'm going to have to wait , when the call of nature stops a bit LOL you'll get it tomorrow....Oh and you must get one they are so sweet, they can hang anywhere (I also found a lion, a frog, a dog, a cow, and a mouse ) thanks always sweetie ;)
Pixim from Nice, France
Je n'ai pas tout compris l'histoire, mais quoiqu'il en soit, JJ est coupable. En effet, après nous avoir proposé une Bahbahra superstar, on comprend que les autres peluches ont tendance à prendre la tangente. Dans tous les cas, tu as bien fait de compromettre ta photo du jour pour nous informer de l'affaire "Arabella Aroma" Bravo pour ce dévouement ;)
7 Dec 2008 5:22pm
@Pixim: LOL trop drôle Pixim, bravo lol
fredo from marseille, France
Il fait peine à voir ce nounours !!! Abandoné ,snif.... tu devrais le receuillir ! Trés bonne idée photographique ;
7 Dec 2008 6:55pm
@fredo: Si gentil...lol merci Fredo :)
@Alun Lambert: Oh Happy Days, not much of a stink today ;)
Bookfool from Vicksburg, United States
Arabella Aroma is a great name! I'm glad you found her. Our dearly departed kitty, Sunshine, thought stuffed toys were to be hunted and dropped at the humans' feet. When she died, we were so distraught that we threw away her special Lambie. Nobody could bear to look at the shredded little lamb.
7 Dec 2008 8:53pm
@Bookfool: Ok Book now you've made me cry, snif :(
Fliss from Melbourne Beach, United States
I say blame JJ for everything... hehehehe - oh hi JJ :)
7 Dec 2008 9:28pm
@Fliss: Got that right sugar...It IS JJ's fault, he got me hooked on the little pink lamb
Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
That is halirious Lorraine. Poor Arabella Aroma, what a night. She may get even you know. Be on the watch tonight whilst sleeping ;))
7 Dec 2008 9:32pm
@Marion: I tell you Marion even my 3 cats didn't sleep comfortably..;)
JoeB from Brampton, Canada
All piggies know that apples and roasting go together, I suspect there's more to this story. What did you do to its leg? :D
7 Dec 2008 9:46pm
@JoeB: MMM She is not pleased. Call your lawyers stat Joe! a Pig? she sputtered, she's a lamb, silly, the legs are magnetic dontcha know...haven't you been visiting JJ? It's all his fault he got me hooked to the pink lamb, the way you hooked me with your Sunday carts...but I didn't go out and buy one of those...won't fit in my pocket
@DaveB: Yep SHE has been through it! don't you think he'd have a complex being called Arabella Aroma? thanks for the visit Dave ;)
JJ from Jersey City, United States
Ohh I see now Fliss is blaming me also LOL Lucky I have broad shoulders :)
7 Dec 2008 11:56pm
@JJ: and my Parisian visitors, lol how I thank you for this new addiction ;)
tyan from Singapore, Singapore
LOL you could have been an outstanding journalist as well!I like the name,she needs it,hopefully it helps to clear that stench faster!:)
8 Dec 2008 4:08am
@tyan: Thanks sweetie and yes it helped, plus it got so cold last night, that would have taken care of the remaining stench ;)
Linerberry from Sumner, Christchurch, New Zealand
Hehehehahahaha!!!! great interruption Lorraine!! Poor ArabellaAroma....at least she has a name now!!! Poor little mite!
8 Dec 2008 5:57am
@Linerberry: I felt so distraught and awful, when I found pitifully next to the apple core...lol thanks for playing ;)
Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
Didn't see the sunrise... Your little friend looks rather bedragled. Glad you saved her. Maybe you could give her a wash...
8 Dec 2008 6:00am
@Andrew Gould: Andrew, her aura got a little grey, but she's pinkyish now...thanks, the sunrise went back down...the stench you know ;)
JoeB from Brampton, Canada
I'll compromise if you call off the lawyers, its a lamb that smells like a pig. BTW carts are very practical, you can carry lots of stuff, (think about it next time your in the store) go for a joy ride, the possibilities are endless, and they only cost a quarter. :{}
