Actually, this is just a small part of the new Asaka Forest Park. This picture was shot through a cyclone fence.
Actually a direct reproduction of a Lucille Ball dress she wore on her show. Perfect 1950’s contented wife vibes 👫💍❤️
Inside was actually quite nice - plasma TV, jacuzzi, en-suites

While it's actually most often fairly calm at Great Sand Dunes, the force of wind can be seen in the sculpted shapes of the huge dunes rising below the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
Predominate winds in the Rocky Mountains come from the southwest, especially during the windy season of spring. These southwestern winds have carried sand from the valley floor and formed the Great Sand Dunes in a pocket of the mountain range.
But a single wind direction alone cannot usually form giant dunes. Strong storm winds off the mountains push the sand back toward the valley. This back and forth battle of winds results in the dunes' vertical growth into the tallest dunes in North America - resulting in awe and wonder for every visitor!
The Pied-billed Grebe are small aquatic birds with a particularly ability to actually take on water between their feathers, almost like a submarine taking on ballast. This allows them to dive easy, and sometimes swim with just the upper part of their head above water. The origins of the name, grebe, apparently allude to the very posterior placement of their feet. This helps them propel themselves more easily in water, but it can make walking on land a cumbersome task. Lucky for them that they spend almost all of their time in water. Their young spend the better part of the first few weeks riding around on their parent's backs. In the summer, Pied-billed Grebe's bills turn whitish, with a black band around it. They are fairly illusive, and I am lucky that ice, and a lack of open water allowed me to get close to this little bird. #iLoveBirds #iLoveNature #iLoveWildlife #WildlifePhotography in #NorthCarolina #Nature in #America #USA #MattamuskeetNWR #PiedbilledGrebe #Canon #DrDADBooks #Bringit #Photography #Picoftheday #Photooftheday
This is actually a model I've wanted to make for a while since I did the original BMW Z3 model. Affectionately known as the Clown Shoe, the BMW M coupe was designed to be a more rigid and sportier Z3. I recently was able to see 2 of these side by side at a Cars and Coffee as well., which is impressive given how rare they truly are.
Actually this ridge is called Mt.Nokogiri (Saw). Biei, Hokkaido.

To answer your question , it's photoshoped ! I thougt it could be a nice looking colour on the LP560 Spyder ( maybe a little bit gay , but who care's :D ). It's not such a good shot but I wanted to share the colour with you.
I actually took this picture. It seems like I just got it off a wallpaper from Emachines, but I actually took it!
Has anyone actually watched a bee ?
Now when i say watched i mean really intensly watched. They play such an important role in our lives alone for it is estimated that one third of the human food supply depends on insect pollination, most of which is accomplished by bees, especially the domesticated.
Here are a few interesting facts :
A honey bee can fly for up to six miles, and as fast as 15 miles per hour, hence it would have to fly around 90,000 miles - three times around the globe - to make one pound of honey.
The average honey bee will actually make only one twelfth of a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime.
A honey bee visits 50 to 100 flowers during a collection trip.
The honeybee's wings stroke 11,400 times per minute, thus making their distinctive buzz.
So the next time you see one off these.....dont try to bat it with the local newspaper. Watch, listen & learn the amazing world of the worker bee.
Actually, the first idea I had was to pretend to be stepping in dog poop. We have plenty of it (Miss Poopy didn't earn that name for nothing). But who wants to look at a picture of a turd?
So, then I decided I'd pretend to step on some chewing gum.
It took 23 snaps and 3 pieces of gum (thanks to above mentioned dog) to get this picture. Plus my white jeans now have some grass stains.
The things we'll do for a picture.
Macro Monday theme - Camouflage.
actually this picture is taken close to were I once lived as a kiddling, my old quarters or half of me, since I grew up some other places too, but one of them..
I am MushroomBrain I was born Once by a Vigin :)
Actually, 5 floors down from our condo, at street level. First time I remember a trellis so decorated. In looking at this critically (meaning I finally stifled my laughing), I realized the shop must only support (no pun intended) well endowed ladies. Ah, well - in the words of that World War II song, Bless 'Em All.
I know it's pretty much the exact angle of the preceding two. Going to upload others soon, but for right now this will have to do.
I actually built this about a year ago. I then promptly dropped it while setting up at BrickFair. Since then it's been in a box awaiting repairs. I finally got around to patching it up and here it is. I wanted to build a full house with siding, so I looked for the cheapest slopes I could find. Lavender it was. So based on that, I decided this was the kind of place a grandma would live, and based my design decisions on that. It was an enjoyable experience, but there are definitely some structural things I would change in future builds.
Well, not actually in a net but the tennis racket and tennis balls are kept within a carry bag that has one leather side and the other side has this open netted finish!

Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all!
Actually Vatnfjord in the Lofoten Islands, Norway. This was the last day before the sun actually rose for the first time in 2013.
Made with a Fujifilm X-Pro1 and Fujinon 35mm f1.4.
Actually taken in 2019 but reimagined this year. Was shooting sunset cloud shots at Magic Island and this pair of walkers happened to be in the frame when the shutter was open.
actually taking pictures for a hdr (3 images) these cute wind flowers resulted in the HDR process without using the correction for movements....I like them....
actually this is just a resting posture. It is amazing how long people can rest in this position!!
en realidad es solo una postura de descanso. Es increible cuanto tiempo pueden estar en esta posición y descansar!!
Actually, the title is a complete lie. It's a pot that my wife planted of cactus and succulents, but to my eye it looked like something you see when diving or snorkeling. The San Diego Botanical Garden has an "Undersea Succulent Garden", so my wife has one too, it's just on a smaller scale.
Strobist info: Lit with a YN560-II in a 24 inch softbox camera right at 3 o'clock for the main directional light, a YN560 in an identical softbox camera left at 9 o'clock for fill, and a handheld Strobie 130 in a Honl snoot to direct some light onto the center of the flower. All three strobes, in manual mode were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N radio trigger.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash, and the equipment that I use. www.flickr.com/photos/9422
If you like pictures of cactus and succulents, you might not hate my Cactus and Succulents set. That set can be seen here www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157633383093236/
I actually drove all the way to Springfield, Massachusetts to take this photo. After I concluded my historical visit to LEGO Group in Connecticut, I drove up to Massachusetts and attempted to find a good vantage point to get a photo of my Simpsons figures in front of a sign with "Springfield" on it. I drove around the city for almost two hours, before finally reaching a shopping center with this sign nearby on a median strip. I ran across a main road and set up the frame, and used an empty cookie tin (which was conveniently laying around) as a platform for the figures.
Actually, I think Prime Minister Harper is doing a good job. Many disagree with me. What do I know about Politics?

I actually got the boy to pose for me. Mostly because I was super frustrated trying to get a focused shot of me. So I gave up and asked him to pose for me. I really love this picture! Although he was complaining because he says his arms are super hairy in this. Well sorry to tell ya babe, your arms are hairy. I don't think the camera adds more hair like it adds 10 pounds. Yeah I definately fought with my 50 to get this shot, a lot of huffing and puffing to get it to kind of work, but alas it gave in.
So I cannot tell you how excited I am that tomorrow is Friday! It means the weekend is upon us and I will no longer be so broke. Also I don't have to be at my aunt's until 8, so I kind of get to sleep in. Thank goodness.
Actually, it's not a river; it is a channel off of the Willamette River in Lane County, Oregon USA.(DSCN0587reflectionsfrombothsidesofriverinitflickr022616)
Actually, there was a pair of hawks! One had made a kill and the other wanted to steal it. They are really bold in the neighborhood, even hard to scare away.

Actually a train stopped/parked East of downtown Dekalb waiting for a green signal. Photographing a moving train this close, from this location would be extremely dangerous. The crossing gates for the sidewalk crossing I was standing on would have long before tripped on if this freight were moving, and at 50mph it would be mere seconds before he was on top of the crossing.
Actually, I just got her today as a Christmas present. But she hasn't had any pictures. Shes a bad influence.
This is actually a Canadian built Bolingbroke, RCAF serial ‘10201’, which is now fitted with a genuine MkI Blenhiem nose. It represents ‘L6739’, a MkI of 23sqn in September 1939.
This was its first Legends after it was rebuilt as a MkI.
2015 Flying Legends Airshow.
Duxford, Cambridgeshire, UK.
12-7-2015
The following info is from the Flying Legends website:-
“The Bristol Blenheim Mk.I is a truly unique British aircraft. As a type the aircrafts history is long and formative and an important milestone in the history of British aviation. Designed as a small airliner in the early 1930s by Frank Barnwell, Chief Designer of the Bristol Aircraft Company, it was funded by Lord Rothermere who named it ‘Britain First’. It proved much faster than the latest biplane fighters, with a speed of over 300mph, and Rothermere promptly donated it to the nation.
Barnwell then redesigned the aircraft as a bomber and it became the first stressed skin aircraft with hydraulic actuated undercarriage, flaps and turret to be accepted by the Royal Air Force. It was the fastest bomber of the day and it became the backbone of the RAFs light bomber force. At the start of WWII the RAF had 1089 Blenheim’s in service more than any other type.
The Blenheim bore the brunt of daylight operations during the early war years, whilst other bombers were switched to night operations, and the crews paid a heavy price. Many Blenheim’s were lost not only to fighters but to anti-aircraft fire especially when attacking ships. Even so it was well liked by its crews and Churchill paid homage to their bravery comparing them to the ‘Charge of the Light Brigade’.
The Blenheim was pressed into many roles for which it was not primarily designed, such as long range and night fighter duties. It became the first radar equipped night fighter and got the first kill using that equipment.
The first Blenheim project a Canadian licensed built MKIV, which they called Bolingbroke, was recovered in a derelict state and restored to fly after a twelve year rebuild by a small dedicated team led by a licensed aircraft engineer. It made its debut in May 1987 only to be destroyed in an accident exactly one month later, suffice to say that the accident was not due to a mechanical fault.
Determined not to be without a Blenheim another airframe was found and the same team gave themselves five years to complete the project with the aircraft flying in May 1993, it became the only flying example of a Blenheim representing the light bombers of the early war years. Flying for ten years from Duxford on behalf of the late Graham Warner, the aircraft was well known on the air show circuit and flew with great success building an enviable serviceability record amongst the vintage aircraft fraternity.
In August 2003 the aircraft suffered an accident whilst landing at Duxford, again through no mechanical fault with the aircraft, and suffered significant damage. The aircraft was dismantled with the ownership subsequently transferring to Blenheim (Duxford) Ltd in December 2003.
It was decided that the aircraft could be repaired and work started with a team jointly made up of full time staff and the original and some new volunteers. Initially work concentrated on the centre section and fuselage and it was at this stage a feasibility study was carried out to see if the aircraft could be converted to Blenheim MkI status. A MkI nose had come into possession of the team and it was realised that the production break at the rear of the fuselage was the same for all marks of Blenheim so the decision was made to go ahead with the conversion. The conversion did cause some headaches in that although the main fling controls are in the same position in the British and Canadian variants it is in the positioning of the ancillary controls such as throttles, pitch, carburetor and hydraulic controls, the positioning of instruments and the rerouting of hydraulic and electrical lines that would take time.
The MkI nose had been donated to the team and had an interesting history in its own right; it had been obtained by a Bristol employee Ralph Nelson after WWII and converted to a car. He had mounted it on an Austin Seven chassis and with help of colleagues completed the conversion. The car was battery powered and he drove the vehicle around Bristol until 1957 when it was damaged by fire. The conversion necessitated the nose being modified to create doors and interior fittings so basically destroyed the stress skin construction, so after jigging to maintain its integrity a considerable amount of manufacture of new airframe parts had to be carried out including reskinning. Fortunately Ralph had kept a considerable amount of the interior fittings and most of the control systems including the seat and these were refurbished and refitted.
A data plate in the nose revealed its build number and that it had been built by AVRO. Contact with Avro’s heritage Centre showed that the aircraft serial was L6739 being issued to 23 Squadron on 2nd September 1939. It fought throughout the Battle of Britain as a night fighter before being struck off charge in December 1940 after being damaged. Further research revealed that it had carried the codes YP-Q and a photo was found of it ground running at Wittering in February 1940. This has enabled the aircraft to be painted in the authentic colours worn in 1939-1940 and fitted with the MKI(f) gun pack.
The Mercury engines were overhauled in house being stripped down to their component parts and checked for wear and damage and reassembled. All ancillary items such as magnetos, carburettors, pumps and the many items that make up the engines examined and checked for airworthiness before being fitted.
After 11 years of painstaking work, on the 20th November 2014 Chief Pilot John Romain and James Gilmour as Flight Engineer took Blenheim MkI(f) on its maiden flight at Duxford for a successful 26 minute test flight, following some minor adjustments a further two test flights were carried out.
The Blenheim received its full Permit to fly at the end of 2014, enabling the aircraft to be ready for the 2015 season.”
Actually preserved, but looking the part coupled to an engineers' crane, 31108 stands in the yard at Eastleigh works the day before the 2009 open day.

Actually, I have no idea what they are diving for. It's fun watching them!
Happy Wednesday (Thursday)/Mid-Week, Hump-Day, Everyone! I hope your week has been going well so fa.
Thank you all so much for the visit and for the kind comments and favs. They are very much appreciated!
I don't get to do that very often, even cut myself doing it, but thought I should show them off a little.
actually it is my ooak jasmine ahha...i'd like to call it royal sparkles, I have gone overboard using starry sparkles for this one photo...I gave her different brows,green eye shadow and a smile.
Actually it's the external wall of a rather dingy public toilet block in Portobello, but it's got this very charming mosaic to brighten the place up a bit.
