Actually, I just wanted to try out a lens, but the conditions on that day in January were terrible. Now I've ended up with a picture.
Actually its the cows drinking water but he likes to cool off. Tilly is in the background wanting to join him!!!
I actually remembered it was Friday! I love California Quail, but it is hard to get a picture of them standing still....sorry for the blur. Would be fun to see a race between them and a roadrunner....beep, beep. This couple was seen at the Railroad Bridge Audubon Center in Sequim, WA., where they live, on both sides of the fence, with seemingly hundreds of their friends.
bed? floor? synonymous in my world ;)
for fgr : bodies: bed. bath, and floors
and GTWL : i'm with the band
What a long, fun, but exhausting day. Today marks the second Dunkxchange (DXC) of this year. I decided to actually enjoy myself more this time event rather than selling or buying. Although their were a few shoes I wanted, I didn't really bother as much since Brandon told me my shoes were waiting at his place that I have been waiting for the longest. For the most part spent my time chilling and helping Brandon and Val help sell their stuff. Saw familiar faces as well new faces, of course you guys and gals know who you are. Some supporters told me they appreciated my work and that is always appreciated no matter what. The event was held at a new location as well as Jesse and Bigfoot doing a live piece. The place had better lighting and was bigger. Can't wait for the next event, hopefully, it's at the same location.
Afterwards, decided to leave around 3 in the afternoon to check out Cherry Blossom Festival. For the last few years I have been missing out due to work. The weather overall was overcast and windy. Since Mindy and me got there somewhat late, most of the food stalls were sold out. They also added more seating areas to eat and enjoy yourselves, which is good. Since DXC was coming to an end, we got a call from Jenn asking if we wanted to have a post DXC dinner and of course we decided to tag along. We ate at Bull Head, which was next to West Portal station. Afterwards, decided to go home since my head was hurting and I was tired. Overall a great way to end my weekend.

Actually more like a Potterton kitchen, glorious light streaming in played along the leaves of one in out kitchen, distracting me from making coffee.
The poinsettia Euphorbia pulcherrima is a commercially important flowering plant species of the diverse spurge family Euphorbiaceae. Indigenous to Mexico and Central America, the poinsettia was first described by Europeans in 1834. It is particularly well known for its red and green foliage and is widely used in Christmas floral displays. It derives its common English name from Joel Roberts Poinsett, the first United States minister to Mexico, who is credited with introducing the plant to the US in the 1820s. Poinsettias are shrubs or small trees, with heights of 0.6 to 4 m. Though often stated to be highly toxic, the poinsettia is not dangerous to pets or children. Exposure to the plant, even consumption, most often results in no effect, though it can cause nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poinsettia#Description

Actually it is my first holga camera, howver she likes the color and likes to take photos with it. I look forward to using film again.
Actually it would have got busier after we left. This place is great.
Spencer is chatting to Vicks. In red... I like the grain, especially on the pillars and ceiling. After this we went off to Victoria Park to watch some fireworks.

Actually discovered first by my dog Misha in the canoe that she focused on this beaver that was eating something on a rock, possibly some sort of aquatic plant. We viewed it from a distance after sunset so I hade to paddle closer through ice and had about 30 seconds to photograph with a 10,000 iso as it was after sunset (pink reflections on water). Somewhat poor definition due to the darkness and ongoing movement of the canoe due to the heavy wind but enough detail to prove what it is. I’ve photographed beavers in the past but they typically jump back into the water when we paddle close to them. This is a unique capture, another view below…
Spearfish Falls was actually one of the most popular tourist stops in the northern Black Hills around the beginning of the 19th century when a Burlington Railroad line took passengers directly over it, parts of which can still be found on the trail today. The trail to this 47 ft waterfall starts at the parking lot for the Latchstring Restaurant and is roughly 3/4 in length. Note that while the path to the left is easy, the one to the right of the restaurant is more difficult but does include a sweet traverse over an old metal walking bridge. Interestingly enough, in 1917, this waterfall was actually turned off for awhile as water was diverted from Spearfish Creek to a nearby hydroelectric plant that helped power operations at Homestake Gold Mine until November 17, 2003. For this reason, Spearfish Falls is one of the lesser-known waterfalls that often gets passed by even today.

If you don’t have much time to hike while you are visiting Spearfish Canyon, I would encourage you to put this one high on your list. The trail is rated as moderate. The total hike is 1.5 miles. I love hiking this any time of year. The trail is pretty easy to find. The path is right behind the Latchstring Inn. The trail has been reworked recently. It is no longer a loop trail, the only access point is just north of the restaurant. The path is nice and wide and should be manageable by most people that can walk moderate inclines. Just take your time and soak in the beauty of the canyon floor. The waterfall is so beautiful, you’ll want to hangout and enjoy it for awhile. This is just one of the waterfalls of Spearfish Canyon worth visiting. There is plenty of hiking in the area. Just on the other side of the road is Roughlock Falls Nature Trail. While I like hiking this area all year long, it is definitely one of my favorite fall hikes in the Black Hills. And, if you are staying in Spearfish, be sure to checkout the Lookout Mountain Hiking trails if you want a longer hike.

I actually was headed out to the fancy Wally World (it's brick ooooh) on HWY 10. This isn't the closest Wal-Mart to me, but I hate the "Dirt-Mart" on Bowman that is a lot closer to home. Having said that, I feel a tad guilty driving all the way out there for some frozen dinners... I usually try to time it where I can make a trip to the Mountain (Pinnacle that is) so then I do two things at once.
This was the day I did the Cedar Falls Trail, so I didn't have any intentions of hiking, but as I was driving out there I thought I'd stop by anyway and grab a shot of the mountain and sky. It seemed a shame to waste those clouds and this lighting.
Literally the only drawing I’ve done that I’m actually proud of. It was a gift for a good friend that I looked up to as an artist.
I love doujin... big secret I know. I wanted to try seeing if I could draw a doujin cover page using her character. 25 hours of sweat and frustration later thisnis the result. It’s not often I finish my work especially if line art is involved as I don’t do lines or anatomy very well but I think the desire to impress and make her happy really pushed me to do this. She is the reason I tried to become an artist after all!
Looking back now there is an ungodly amount of anatomy errors LOL but I’m still happy with it more so the fact that I finished it and didn’t throw it away or give up. Thanks Oouna for everything you’ve done to inspire me!
This drawing is old as hell but figured I’d share it on here since people seem to like my “art”
Actually I took this a couple of weeks ago at sundown in Nortons Park. But I think we only began to feel some warmth today. It's been a cold one.
Tai is not about to turn and get down...he was actually holding his paw out to feel the big snow flakes!
Actually the sun set at a point just to the right of the edge of the frame. We've been having some special sunrises and sunsets this month. Now if we could get a bit more rain...

Actually the fly was incidental to my focus on the flower...
I didn't really see the little critter until after I was reviewing my images on the computer! Still, I like it there :)
I actually dont have any of he Monster high Boys, I once had Deuce but he was too sexy to stay (After I gave him a beautiful New hairdo)
So I was excited to actually LOVE this MH Boy! And I think Kohl was even more Excited then me, he very much Missed the Piggybacks he would get from Deuce :P
Actually this isn't a fight, but a typical feeding process, once the babies become as big as the parents. It's a wonder the two Snowy Egrets survive this dangerous time, feeding !
"Impaled Impala"
Actually I do not think this is an Impala, but could not resist. At the International Car Forest of The Last Church in Goldfield, Nevada.
Well, actually it's an EE Type 5 Class 50, heading up a couple of Grids on 3S71, the RHTT on it's last day of operation. Old news now, as this happened 3 weeks ago, and plenty were out for it. D400 (50050) leads 56094 and 56087.
I got lucky here, as it was hammering down with rain whilst waiting for it to arrive, but the rain stopped and some weak sunshine broke through the cloud cover as I could hear it approaching. I was almost bowled by a Corradia too, just in view at the rear of the train. The location is Yorton, on the outskirts of Shrewsbury, and a solitary beast look on from the base of the embankment. Saturday 8.12.18.
Actually, it isn't blue. It just looks that way. Please do not become emotionally invested in just why this flower has turned blue when before it was not. On no account will you spend the next six years of your life wondering why this flower has turned blue, whether it was by choice or through the actions of another, how it got this way, whether it will finally get together with that coquettish other blue one off to the right there, how it decided to grow right here, how it is managing to grow at all, and why everything else is also blue and not yellow or purple or pink. Do not do so! I will not provide answers. I may provide hints and teases about answers, intimate that next week, I will answer many questions but then not, and may raise and then answer some peripheral questions about red flowers in which you were never really interested. But what I will say is that this blue flower? The central flower you can see right here that you have watched grow over the last six years? I shall put him and his flower blue chaps and chapettes through numerous wringers in numerous times and places but then end everything so stirringly and emotionally that you will hopefully forget all about those other pesky questions I put in your mind to begin with.
Here's another from last weeks stormy visit to White Pocket. Absolutely amazing place! I have got to go back when there is some decent light. The sun never came out.
This is actually the first time I have ever managed to successfully shoot a lightning strike during daylight. I got a lightning trigger last year that is supposed to trigger your shutter when lightning strikes. It is a useless piece of crap. I did not use it for this. Instead I went with the fairly primitive technique of frantically pressing the shutter button repeatedly every time I saw a flash. Got one!
Actually, this big gang is from 2015, six out of seven heads showing. They're actually fuzzier and evidently younger than the brood from same time this year, pretty much the same burrow. I'm in a world of hurt in terms of owl backlog - I just found 350 more images from the day before I left for Big Sur, plus the 700 I shot yesterday, and the 1000+ I still have from the past year. So, my owl-loving friends, be ready to indulge (or bear with me).
Actually somebody warned me that these guys are terror. They not only destroy your lawn by digging holes all over, but also attacks birds, steals bird eggs etc . I can neither confirm or deny ... ;-p
Actually shot this one in B&W, I usually shoot in color then convert to B&W. Very windy here, the clouds were moving pretty fast so every time I took a shot, trying different setting the clouds had changed. Like the location name somebody had given and it looks like where I'm at, or at least very close.
actually losing track of when abouts in the week my 52 is supposed to be posted.. probably a week ahead or behind..
after having the most unproductive week of my life, lounging around in bed and cuddling my boyfriend or intoxicating myself... i decided to switch back on today. lots and lots of work out of the way. always feels better that way.

Actually this man is not being lazy, he has to have enough rest to continue riding. Falling to sleep riding a bike can be fatal. I caught this "biker"/ "kapcai" taking a nap underneath some shades at the Padang Kota promenade - enjoying the balmy sea breeze.
Actually, this fire was in 2011. While fire is scary to humans and the things we build, it leaves beauty in it's wake.
We actually had a sunny day today. Very cold at only 2 degrees but such a change from the grey and rain we have been having lately. So off we went into the Forest. This group of pigs were having a blast running here there and every where. Phill and I were discussing what a group of pigs are called. I said it should be an "oink of pigs" - Phill decided on a "snort of pigs": it is actually a sounder of pigs so now we all know
These are actually Ring-necked Parakeets aka Rose-ringed Parakeets (Psittacula krameri), though they are quite closely related to Lovebirds: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/50943147766/in/photolist
In Britain, breeding was first proved in 1971 in Kent though it was suspected a year or two prior to this. Despite rumours involving Jimi Hendrix and Humphrey Bogart, there is no evidence that either had anything to do with their introduction to Britain. Paul Dunham mentions below about mass escapes in the 1970s involving more than a thousand birds when they pecked their way out of wooden holding crates. The population increased ten fold in Britain between 1995 and 2010 and is now well-established in south-east England (centred on London) with a population around 12,000 pairs, but there are scattered breeding populations elsewhere. The English population is the most northerly breeding parrot species on the planet, and this breeding pair in South Yorkshire are currently one of the most northerly in Britain. Abroad they breed in both Asia and Africa, and biometrics suggest that British birds are from the larger Indian subspecies borealis, though this was not conclusive. The scientific name Psittacula krameri commemorates the Austrian naturalist Wilhelm Kramer. It was named by Johannes Scopoli in 1769, four years after Kramer's death and was originally known as Kramer's Parakeet.
I photographed this mating pair this morning near Barnsley. There were two pairs present and they were going in and out of holes in some dead trees. These are the first birds I have seen in Yorkshire.
Actually, it's that pink goop dropped by airplane along the ridges during one of our many fire seasons.
This is about the beginning of the Transverse Range which extends West to East, from Pt Concepcion (or Channel Islands even) all the way thru 6 counties to the Mojave Desert.
Notable for its steepness (elevations 3 to 8 thousand feet) there are very few Passes thru (think Tejon) which definitely affected the growth of 'Southern California'
