The snow is very hard and crunchy but bits of last summers grass is still showing itself to remind me that eventually spring will come.

Over the last few days we have had a bit of rain not a great deal just a constant drizzle.
This morning however it brightened up and so I decided to walk to my parents. By god was it cold or what my poor pinkies turned blue with cold. As i walked the road to my parent i crossed the bridge over the river. now our river is more a wide stream normally (just as Cindy she will tell you) and only about three foot deep at its deepest.. today it was 10 or 15 foot deep and flowing fast and had burst its banks. I could still pass though that was until I got further up the road where it had flooded again . this time only about 6 inches but to deep to walk through in my shoes while cars passed by and so i waited until my moment the cars had gone the water level settle to a about half inch on the path and i made a run for it and got to the other side just as a car shot though the water missing me by about three foot. I knew I should have driven
A detail of San Marco from my quick walk through #Venice in November last year (which already feels like 50 years ago).
This one bit my butt. I spent 1/2 the day in urgent care lying on an exam table while they poked, prodded and stitched my thumb up after a freak accident this morning. I've had more needle pokes today than I have in the past 5 years. And a bonus tetanus shot to boot! I found out that a son of a friend had a motorcycle accident this weekend, but will be alright. George Carlin died. Such a shame. Spent my afternoon almost falling asleep at my desk with a throbbing hand. I can't find the lens I want in stock ANYWHERE in the country. It's been a fine Monday. What I'm not whining about... It wasn't my "camera thumb" that they stitched. Yay! So, this is the photo you get... worked over and over worked. I can offer no better today! Hope everyone else had a better one!

As the sun rose over glacial peaks near Jokulsarlon lagoon, I groggily grabbed my gear and crossed the black sand and a narrow bridge to arrive on the ice-strewn shore. As brilliant orange-red light struck the countless chunks of glacier, I knew that I would never again see something so uniquely beautiful.
This is the first of several photos I will be posting from my trip to Iceland back in May; these and many more are available in print as part of my project "Eilifur: Eternal Iceland"! If you are interested in purchasing limited edition prints or a copy of the full photo book, please notify me via Private Message.
Decided to cover something a bit different and give everyone a break from my bayou beasties. There are numerous ways to explore the bayou and there are tours available through Armand Bayou Nature Center. The tours cover more than just they bayou and include nature walks along with other activities. You can check them all out on their website.

If you wish to take things at your own pace and can do a bit of paddling, there are companies in the area that rent kayaks and canoes and deliver them to the put-in point at Bay Area Park.
I’ve included a trio of capture of the pontoon boat called Bayou Ranger II and not only will it give an idea of the size of the boat, but you can get a feel for how large the bayou is in at least this one particular. This is where Horsepen Bayou parallels Middlebrook Drive and flows toward Mark Kramer Lake and on toward the Gulf of Mexico. This is a prime spot for alligators as well and I can assure you that you’ll be perfectly safe onboard the Bayou Ranger. Hope you enjoy the photos and it’s not necessary to comment on each photo. If you are ever in the area, you can reference the Nature Center website and see what suits your fancy and they have a lot to offer. Enjoy.

Seri sonu
aşk nasıl biterse öyle bitti bu aşk da
Uzun bir hastalık gibi
Aralıksız dinlediğim alaturka bir fasıl gibi
Gökyüzüne bakmayı, dostlara mektup yazmayı
Çiçekleri sulamayı unutmuşluğum gibi
Bitti.
Bir aşk nasıl biterse öyle bitti bu aşk da
Yürümeyi yeniden öğrenen felçli bir çocuk gibi
Sokağa çıkmalıyım şimdi ve çoktandır
İhmal ettiğim dostlara yeni bir adres bırakmalıyım
Pencereleri açmalı, kitapları düzenlemeliyim
Belki bir yağmur yağar akşama doğru
Yarıda bıraktığım şiirleri tamamlarım
Aşk da bitti diyordu ya bir şair
Aşk bitti işte tam da öyle

This handsome guy appeared in the kitchen on Sunday.
Nice and slow, easy to catch and happy to pose on my finger against the sun lit window. OK I am easily amused. I was busy doing other stuff at the time so I only took a couple of pictures and figured that I could easily go back to him as he was going nowhere fast.
Unfortunately the dogs took my interest with the camera as some sort of instruction that he was a legitimate prey & started leaping at him as he flew slowly in loops, each second or third one down to terrier head height. He was in immediate mortal danger.
I had to let him out the patio door to save him.
He has a odd wee deformed wing bit sticking up - not sure what this is. i have other angles but my shortage of flies means I want to keep them for Fridays!
Happy Fly Day Friday everyone!
I manage to snap these photos of my Aunt's sexy feet! She was a bit nervous at first. she told me she has ugly feet! I convinced her to take her tennis shoes and socks and show me her feet. Enjoy!!! I actually tasted them later!
Little bit of love for all you vinyl heads out there.

The "two bits" I know are mining industry's diamond drill bit lower left and oil patch's tri-cone bit upper right. Can anyone identify any of the rest of these shiny beauties?
Leduc No. 1 Energy Discovery Centre is a history-and-science-and-technology museum awaaay out in the countryside of Alberta. The 1947 discovery was the first hole drilled into western Canada's conventional oil fields. Seven decades of Canadian petroleum industry contributed to this world-class facility and its collections. Great educational stop for schools and well-stocked naturalist gift shop for kids of all ages.
Everything and anything related to the Alberta Oil Patch are inside and outside but the place needs flickrites with big bags of lenses instead of me and my point-n-shoot.

Because this is now the Roads Chapter in our colourful adventure, I have to emphasize on how the road on that picture starts on the lower right corner of the picture, crosses all the way to the lower left corner of the picture, before following the valley and making a U-turn, climbing the mountain slope, only to come back virtually where we started, only a bit higher.

"Transform the ordinary into the extraordinary"

On my ~long~ way home yesterday from an appointment, I spotted this marvelous work of art down an upcoming street in East Harlem, so I asked the taxi driver to turn left, then stop for a moment to view this gem...and make some shots. I immediately recognized the face to the right as "Lady Day," more commonly known as Billie Holiday.
I had a bit more trouble discerning the the portrait to the left. At first, I thought it was "La Lupe," a fiery, sexy Cuban singer (1939-1992). When I looked at the photos later, however, I realized that the artist meant to be portray the young Celia Cruz, also a Cuban singer, who was the undisputed queen Afro-Caribbean music for nearly 50 years.
It certainly was a stroke of luck that this young man came along, not walking too fast, so that I was able to add him to the frame, just between the two late, great, divas. It's as if he just entered a new, enchanted world--right in the middle of his own neighborhood!
After taking several shots of this heavenly mural, I sad to the taxi driver, "Para mi, eso es oro." (For me, this is *gold*.)
Fellow flickrites, you will understand...

Pied crows look a bit similar to Eurasian magpies, considered the most (!) intelligent birds on the planet. Pied crows are very intelligent too. Here is an interesting story published at blogs.thatpetplace.com/thatbirdblog/2013/05/06/crows-as-p... :
“I live in a country where these amazing birds are indigenous. We found Mort as a 3-week-old baby who we presume had fallen out of his nest. We couldn’t find a nest in any of the large trees nearby, so we took him home. We discussed outside aviaries for when he was older, and by the time we had decided on where to put it, Mort had taken to roosting on the top of our bedroom door at night …. and the rest is history.
He doesn’t have an aviary, has free range of the house and garden, and despite how scary that sounds, it actually works. We have a very large house and garden. When we go to bed at night, we find bundles of sticks, stones, etc that he is squirreled away. I think he sort of sees our bed as his nest, as he will patrol up and down it, and not even let my kids on it sometimes. I spent a lot of time with him when he was still a baby, keeping him in my shirt and taking and singing to him, so he has imprinted on me completely.
What is interesting is how the wild pieds interact with him, we have thousands flying around here. Mort will parade around on the verandah, cawing and immediately there will be a few wild pieds who are interested. They come and sit in the big trees in front of Mort or right onto the roof and look at him and Mort clacks his beak at them. He then starts to show off, and actually brings some of his toys outside and nonchalantly plays with them. The wild crows come closer and closer, until our dogs come out and they move off.
He is, without doubt, the most intelligent animal I have ever seen. Surprisingly, he is great friends with our cats and they often all hang out together.”
