It is raining here on and off today...finally!!! I have been waiting to be stuck in the house so i can finish some ornaments and tidy up and wrap some presents!
i stayed up too late last night and then woke too early. Because it was dark and dismal out there, i think i was blessed that Bubba let me sleep in without speaking to me in his relentless cat voice for breakfast to appear in his bowl! He slept on top of me...pinning me to the bed, so i closed my eyes and slept some more. Cats, for those of you unfamiliar are usually relentless when it comes to feeding time...but they are cozy warm critters leading to a slowing of your breathing and a signal to your brain to relax...step back...slow down and take advantage of the cozy!
They do to my brain what the ocean does to my soul.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I am on Roscoe and Daisy duty as my daughter and family do their version of Christmas with Russ’ family in Fredericksburg. That being said i hope to accomplish finishing my tree ornaments and wrapping some gifts! :)
Beautiful late day side lighting hits the cross bedded sandstone of the White Pocket in Arizona's Vermilion Cliffs National Monument.
With all the named storms we have endured over the winter, the upside is lots of fallen branches ready for a host of fungal species, here, Orange Brain Fungus.....

The “scape_lands“ is a readymade-fotowork series developed since 2011.
The theme is the hermetical law of correspondence (we exist in all planes, astral as well as physical) I discovered the scape_lands in the urban environments, the streets of Berlin.

L'automotrice Desiro 08013 va bientôt entrer en gare de Braine-Le-Comte avec un omnibus en provenance de Leuven.
The quote is really from a recent press conference related to suggesting citizens experiment with an anti-malaria drug (hydroxychloroquine) as treatment for the Covid-19 virus.
...as in I'm pretty sure being upside down is good for their brain development. Don't quote me on that though. Unbelievably this is my fifth explore in 5 days!!!!!
I have major FOMO (fear of missing out), especially if David and Willie are involved. I've always admired David's desert photos and when he invited me to join on a trip to New Mexico, I knew I couldn't pass. Nevermind that the trip fell smack-dab-in-the-middle of a really good friends wedding. The trip was planned for Wednesday through Sunday and I figured I could join for 2 days and fly home in time for the wedding.
Willie and I arrived Wednesday night and drove over to Bisti. By the time we arrived there was no point going to the hotel - instead we drove straight to a sunrise location and slept for a few hours in the car. David joined us just as we were about to wake up. Sunrise was fun with the best photos taken with the drone, we caught a few hours of sleep, met up with Paul Rojas, and scouted for sunset. The area was looking like a dud, so we tore off for a different spot that David knew would be great from the drones.
We all flew the drones through 3 batteries that evening. The light on the badlands was beautiful, creating some really abstract and unique shapes. Just as my first battery was depleting I brought the drone back towards me and noticed this scene. I loved how the light was playing on the circular, brain-like shapes. Rather than landing, I kept the drone in the air until the battery nearly completely drained. I was standing just off the top of the frame here but kept coming back to this spot for these shapes.
The trip and the next few days turned out to be crazy. After spending 2 days in New Mexico, I drove back Friday night, flew out Saturday morning, drove to Yosemite for the wedding, came back Sunday morning, then turned right around and drove to Tahoe, skied one of the top 3 days of my life Monday, and was back home and at work on Tuesday. Quite the whirlwind week!

For Project Soul Pancake: Read A Book That Makes Your Brain Hurt
I enjoy reading, but I'm incredibly picky about the books that I end up reading, I'll go to the library and it will take me hours to find that one book to check out. With that said, we have a lot of books in the house that make my brain hurt. Scott has an endless supply of computer programming, software, networking books that I could have read for this challenge but I decided to try something a little less...dry.
I ended up reading David Suzuki's book "Sacred Balance" which I've tried to read a few times but just couldn't get into before. It's all about how we as humans fit into the world and how we impact our enviroments and how dependant we are on what the earth provides. It fit quite well with a debate that I ended up in the middle of today regarding food and where it comes from. The book was really interesting once I got into it and I'm glad that I worked through the "brain pain" to finish it :)
at least how I picture how my thoughts proceed on certain days!

Bailey Longcloth enters the med den heading for Ioh's bed. She check brain function and vitals all seeming to be unchanged from the morning. "Bro, you've got a lot of people worried about you." she'd stare down at her brother watching him appearing to be asleep
Bianca Bender comes up the stairs she'd see Ravi but heads straight into the Med Den, knowing Elise is following.
Ravenne Karu glances over and mewls to the two.
Bianca Bender blinks stopping inside the door...going forward..."Dazy...." sound suncertain...something..the build...the scent under the pink dye..isn't right...
Elise Capalini follows Bianca into the med den. That pink isn't right...and neither is that scent... "What the fuck is going on?" she growls.
Bailey Longcloth turns hearing her name, "O hai" she'd smile to both Bianca and Elise . She shrugs, "What do you mean? I know I haven't been around much but.."
Bianca Bender seconds Elise's growl...her's more confused..but relief as well...."Bails!" frowns when she says that...and looks at Elise....and back to Bails..."Cut it out...what the hell's going on..."
Bailey Longcloth rolls her eyes, "Not you too Bianca, I'm Dazy, -not- Bails"
Elise Capalini only stares, feeling like she's in a nightmare.
Bianca Bender would take a few steps forward...and reaches out fingering the very identafiable necklace around your neck unless you step back...she'd look up either way...gritting between her teeth..."Try...Again."
Bailey Longcloth steps back a bit before Bianca can grab the collar, "Yeah, it's Bails' I sent her home. She'd left it here when she woke up. I fixed the clasp and put it on so I didn't lose it" she'd shake her head at the stitcher, everyone had to be delusional
Bailey Longcloth stares back at Bianca, "Fine I'll do it but I checked him this morning and he's fine" she'd go over to the sink washing her hands before putting on gloves. She'd take a syringe out of the cabinet before turning to the med cabinet. She'd take her key out and unlock it taking the anticoagulant down, measuring the dosage and turning back to inject it into Ioh's IV
Elise Capalini shoves her PDA away, watching the Dazy-Bails with the drugs. Did Bianca trust her to actually do that? Shit....shit...shit. "Bianca, i want her strapped to the other bed. This isn't--right."
Ravenne Karu steps just inside still holding her PDA. She opens her mouth, then closes it, waiting for a moment.
Elise Capalini snarls as the doors open, but quiets when she sees Ravi. "Ravi--do you have intel on Dazy?"
Bianca Bender frowns...watching Bails follow her orders...and would stride forward reaching for Bails hand before she can inject the drugs into the IV, "Damn you...." pulls the hand back...."You should know that's to much..you'll turn his blood into water..." mrowls and looks over at Elise but nods, "See if you can find the other restraints in the work room." seeing as Ioh is already strapped down..why not make it a family affair.
Bailey Longcloth hears her name, "I'm standing right here!" she'd growl at no one believing she was who she said she was
Ravenne Karu shakes her head and murmurs quietly "No.. I was wonderinf if there was anything I could do... though.." she steps in closer and whispers to Elise, glancing over to the pink haired one.
Eamon Cale turns toward the warm feathered weight on his shoulder, and murmurs soft Gaelic to her. Lenore murrs and nibbles at his wild black hair, then she spreads her wings and launches into the gloom, winging her swift way to the top of the building before him, to wait. The priest watches her go, then he raps on the med den doors with the head of his cane.
Bailey Longcloth growls hearing the mention of restraints as Bianca grabs the syringe, "You are -not- restraining me! You know..." she'd begin to tense as if she was gonna run right past them all
Elise Capalini moves toward the work room, talking to Ravi as she goes. "You're a ghost--what's the first step? We gather intel. Dazy's last known location...search in and around the den for any evidence--is this tied to the bombings or is this something else?" She roots through lockers and finds restraints, her eye narrowing.
Bianca Bender would make a quick decision...she'd let the syring fall and would make a grab for Bails arm twisting it up and into her back..."No you don't." she'd felt the girls need to sprint.
Bailey Longcloth growls and tries to pull away from Bianca, "You can't... you wouldn't do this to me" she'd twist her head to look at Bianca, the fear and terror in her eyes plainly obvious
Ravenne Karu turns suddenly as there's a rap on the door. She steps forward to open it, then hears a commotion behind, turning back before she saw who was on the other side, having unlocked the door but not opened it quite yet. "Right. Was thinking on that."
Bianca Bender murrs and bites her lip hard...but keeps the pressure on Bails arm..."It's for your own good kitteh...don't want you out running around...with someone else brain in your head...or what ever the fuck is going on...." she'd look towards the door at the rap but keeps a tight hold on Bails, adding an arm wrapped around the front of her shoulders and pulling Bails back against her chest...."Don't fight...you'll end up dislocating..or having me break your arm...and we really don't want that now do we..." looks frantic as she sees Eamon coming through the door.
Eamon Cale hears the click of the lock, but no one opens the door. One dark brow arches slightly, and a bit more when he hears the sounds of a commotion on the other side. He shifts his cane beneath his arm and opens the door, and slowly steps inside... only to find himself faced with a psychedelic Bails. "What in the name o' the Mother o' God...?"
Elise Capalini comes back into the other room, still snarling, restraints held in one hand. "Dazy," she says to the cat who is obviously not Dazy, "this is for your own safety--we don't wnat you to hurt yourself...or Ioh...or anyone in here." She looks at Eamon and blinks. "Welcome to the mad house, love."

I really wanted to call this photo "Look at the big brain on Brad!" but I thought that would be confusing. So I probably went with something even more confusing.

This was taken a few evenings ago, a huge thunderstorm was brewing and this was the actual sky, I don't do many HDR images but soon as I saw this I knew what I was going to do with it.
Thanks Isabel for the title idea!

The Common hawk-cuckoo also known as the brain fever bird.
This bird occurs across most of the Indian subcontinent, is arboreal and prefers wooded areas.
At first glance, you may think of it as a Shikra, a raptor, because of its markings, flight and mannerisms. This imitation intimidates other birds, giving it first dibs on the best feeding spots. It's favorite food seems to be hairy caterpillars.
The male has a loud screaming three-note call that rises to a crescendo, and repeats over and over again in a hysterical manner, mostly heard during the summer months, prior to the monsoon. This call has been decoded into various languages, depending on the listener’s culture - in North India, for example, it is interpretated as “peea kahan?”, or “where’s my lover?” uttered with increasing desperation. In the state of Maharastra, it is “paos ala”, a frantic warning that “the rains are coming”. The British, when reigning in India, concluded that this bird chanted “brain fever”.
Like many other cuckoos, this bird is a brood parasite, laying their eggs in nests of babblers.
Rohan Chakravarty, a cartoonist and illustrator, has a wonderful take on this behaviour - see this at www.greenhumour.com/2022/04/brood-parasitism-and-going-cu...
