Las Vegas I'm standing in the middle of the deserted street and there are no cars for the lights. I hear a clickity click sound and a lone kid on a skateboard is coming down the street. On the bottom of his board are bright blue lights. Click.three merged images with HDR

In a Remote area of the vermilion Cliffs National Monument I came across this wonderful scene... This is not White Pocket for those that know this area, but a more remote area of Sand Hills known as Middle Reservoir.
One thing I love about going to Pescadero State Beach is finding these rocks with holes carved in them. Over the years, grains of sand, graduating up to pebbles then rocks, will work their way into a larger rock through wave action. The motion of the water washing around the rocks grinds the smaller rocks into them, creating these holes. As time goes on, larger and larger rocks find their way into the hole enlarging them even more.
Eventually, it's just bits of sand, doing the same thing to other rocks. That it's also shaped like a brain is just a bonus.

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.....
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!

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...
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 :)
It's been a while Flickr. I've been making stuff, but not doing any photography. Been on Instagram but that's really lame, like, it's far less meaningful than the Lego community on Flickr.
New Hammers RTH paintjob and integration with my removable system is what started this whole pic. Fun little backdrop, I guess. Wish I had some smoke going on in the photo!
Got a little discouraged from Flickr after feeling underwhelmed by pictures from December, but screw that, Flickr is the best place for the Lego community.

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.
The desert southwest has some crazy rocks!
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!
Couldn't resist this late afternoon shot of the bizarre brain rock structures in Vermilion Cliffs national Monument, Arizona.
Loved the amazing rock structures and colours offset against the beautiful blue sky with outrageous wisp clouds...
I hope you enjoy this little taste of the wonder of the Arizona Outback!
Excerpt from brainproject.ca:
The Garden
This sculpture is part of "The Garden" series, which tells the story of our existence. The brain itself is overflowing with new growth of flora; reaching beyond the interior; trying to make new connections. This brain sculpture follows the style and genre that David continues to explore: hand-cut collage. The many layers were carefully cut and assembled by hand to create the final piece. He then applied a gloss of resin to seal it together for permanence, making it pop with colour and contrast.
Made especially for the Shock of the New challenge: "BRAINSTORM"
