The Snake Invasion marks the beginning of the St. Pat’s celebration on the campus of Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla, Missouri. Students protect the campus from the rubber snakes by betting them into the ground with giant shillelaghs then biting off their heads
Kids are really more intelligent than adults ? Picture this. You are sitting in your living watching a nail biting finish of a T20 cricket match. Suddenly something goes wrong with the smart TV. You try pressing every button on the remote, but to no avail. You feel like tearing your hair up. Just then you get an idea. You call your son, sitting in the neighboring room, a fourth grader and hand over the remote. A few clicks, and loo and behold, the smart TV whose features you took pride in, is alive again!!! This leads you to think for the umpteenth time, whether children are really more intelligent than adults.

The only creatures in the sea that didn't run scared of the camera, or maybe the splashing lump behind it. They seemed attracted to anything black which made it difficult to photograph them with a black camera.
Brendan is terrible at posing. When you ask him to look at the camera and smile, he looks a bit absurd. After sort of giving up on how to give him direction, he picked up this pepper on his own and struck this pose. Too hilarious. He continued to strike ridiculous poses for me throughout the weekend.
This is him preparing breakfast. The tartlets in the corner of the frame are salmon and dill and they were fucking incredible. I would have eaten all of them myself.

A walk from Montacute up to Ham Hill and back.
These pictures from the first section of the walk were taken with White Balance set to Incadescent from the Blowzabella dance last night. It worked well there but I forgot to reset WB to Auto so these first few had a heavy blue cast.
So most of them are mono just to rescue them in some way. Some of them have had the cast reduced by Irfanview. but it's not quite right.
This biting midge, family Ceratopogonidae, was larger than the usual "no-see-um" size. Colorado Springs, Colorado, July 7
Looking east from the ridge of Craig Y Fan Ddu along the forested valleys. I believe the distant peak is Blorenge.
Any further around the corner and the full force of the biting wind made stability impossible. The lucky broken clouds help to give a sense of depth.
