It was a hot evening so I went with a very light animal print dress.
Many thanks for the visits, faves and comments. Cheers
Brolga
Scientific Name: Grus rubicund
Description: The Brolga is a large grey crane, with a featherless red head and grey crown. The legs are grey and there is a black dewlap under the chin. Females are shorter than males. The energetic dance performed by the Brolga is a spectacular sight. Displays may be given at any time of the year and by birds of any age.
Similar species: The Sarus Crane, G. antigone, another species of crane found in Australia, can be identified by its dull pink legs and the red of its head extending down the neck.
Distribution: The Brolga is found across tropical northern Australia, southwards through north-east and east central areas, as well as central New South Wales to western Victoria.
Habitat: The Brolga inhabits large open wetlands, grassy plains, coastal mudflats and irrigated croplands and, less frequently, mangrove-studded creeks and estuaries. It is less common in arid and semi-arid regions, but will occur close to water.
Seasonal movements: Outside the breeding season, Brolgas form large family groups and flocks of up to a hundred birds. These groups may be partially nomadic or may stay in the same area. Some birds also migrate northwards.
Feeding: Brolgas are omnivorous (feeding on both vegetable and animal matter), but primarily feed upon tubers and some crops. Some insects, molluscs, amphibians and even mice are also taken.
Breeding: Brolgas probably mate for life, and pair bonds are strengthened during elaborate courtship displays, which involve much dancing, leaping, wing-flapping and loud trumpeting. An isolated territory is established, and is vigorously defended by both partners. The white (blotched with brown and purple) eggs are laid in a single clutch. The nest is a large mound of vegetation on a small island in a shallow waterway or swamp. Both adults incubate the eggs and care for the young birds. The Brolga is one of Australia's two crane species, and is known for its spectacular dance displays by both sexes during breeding season.
Calls: The Brolga's call is a loud trumpeting 'garooo' or 'kaweee-kreee-kurr-kurr-kurr-kurr-kurr-kurr', which is given in flight, at rest or during courtship.
Minimum Size: 100cm
Maximum Size: 125cm
Average size: 112cm
Breeding season: September to December in the south; February to May in the north
Clutch Size: 2 eggs
Incubation: 32 days

hi random person. I'm at a loss for words what to write today. Quite frankly I'm not entirely in the mood for it. That's rare. I could just start talking and trying to be funny, sometimes successfully and blabber. Kind of like what I'm doing right now.
But I'll stop. Sorry to disappoint for those that actually do arrive here to read this shit. That still surprises me to some level that people come for that. However I spent for what seemed like the entire Bush Administration working on the post-edit of the posted photo
So... I'll let you just look at it, find the hidden emblem, and then answer the following question for me.
Which place appeals to you the most on a spiritual level, given these 4 choices:
A. wide open sprawling desert (as seen)
B. dense thick Forest with gigantic trees
C. a gorgeous beach with pretty people and clear water
D. my cock currently located in my pants
Let me know.
Thanks,
pimp

LE PRINTEMPS**
Les arbres se sont habillés de couleurs pastels,
Jonquilles, crocus ont bravé la fraîcheur du temps,
Que déjà, les oiseaux publient leurs noces dans le ciel.
Neiges et froidures sont parties : " vive le Printemps ! "
Immense symphonie, où des millions de fleurs,
Se mélangent en un jour, aux bourgeons de velours
D'un coup de baguette magique : le ciel sort ses couleurs
Pour éblouir nos yeux, il devient troubadour.
Dans un ballet de cabrioles fantastiques
Les oiseaux dansent, s'accouplent et préparent leur nid,
Guidés par une force invisible et mystique,
Leur chant monte en hommage : au Maître de Symphonie.
Les oiseaux se sont embrassés sur les branches,
Et des angelots coquins ont ajusté leurs flèches...
Etrange ! tout ce que le Printemps en un jour change !
Les arbres se sont habillés de couleurs pastels,
Tandis que sous leurs branches les amoureux de mèche,
Se content fleurette quand roucoulent les tourterelles.
(Jean-Claude Brinette)

Friendship - you're all that matters to me (Shine).
Without my friends, I am nothing. Without them, all of this is for nothing. I treasure my friendships. And Gemma - well, she is my soulmate.
Gemma made this beautiful video of our weekend and put it to one of my favourite songs - Shine by Take That. I am in floods of happy tears every single time I watch this.
Please leave a comment, only takes a few seconds!

A little video of me and my twin sister Jenna, we went out on LFF in the same dress and people didnt know which was which !
PLEASE leave a comment rather than just clicking that Favorite button, after all if you like it then please tell me WHY you like it :)
My second version - first one in comments.
I still don´t know which shot I really prefer, in my eyes they are both equal. Perhaps this one has a slight edge over the other, as it does have better clouds and better trails (thanks to an ambulance and a few illuminated buses, among other passing vehicles), and the foreground bikes are still visible as well.

It is the possibilities that excites me about photography.
Regardless of the subject matter, the possibility to discover something creative or unique inspires me to no end.
I believe that regardless of the subject matter, landscape, people or other studies
the creative potentials are the same.
It is very exciting to live the moment discovering the possibilities.

Back in Leeds, first weekend of the year! And it was a fabulous Leeds First Friday. Very busy, especially so soon after Christmas, there were loads of girls out.
Ready for bed at the end of a wonderful night.
COMMENT IF YOU FAVE
This X-boi is fairly simple and straight forward so the explanation will not be that long.
I used one of the weasley twins faces as a base and then painted a different mouth. I decided to go no goggles because I didn't want to paint them.
The torso arms and legs are all painted and have the same metallic blue colour inspired by mgf and x men apocalypses.
Thats really it though.
Any comments and favs are very much appreciated

Australian Pelican
Scientific Name: Pelecanus conspicillatus
Description: There are seven species of pelicans in the world, all of which are similar in shape and, with one exception, are primarily white in colour. Males are larger than females. The most characteristic feature of pelicans is the elongated bill with its massive throat pouch. The Australian Pelican's bill is 40 cm - 50 cm long and is larger in males than females. Pelicans have large wings and a wingspan of 2.3 m - 2.5 m. Pelicans have an extremely light skeleton, weighing less than 10% of their total body weight.
Distribution: The Australian Pelican is found throughout Australia, Papua New Guinea and western Indonesia, with occasional reports in New Zealand and various western Pacific islands.
Habitat: Pelicans are widespread on freshwater, estuarine and marine wetlands and waterways including lakes, swamps, rivers, coastal islands and shores.
Seasonal movements: Pelicans are highly mobile, searching out suitable areas of water and an adequate supply of food. Pelicans are not capable of sustained flapping flight, but can remain in the air for 24 hours, covering hundreds of kilometres. They are excellent soarers and can use thermals to rise to considerable altitudes. Flight at 1,000m is common, and heights of 3 000 m have been recorded. By moving from one thermal to the next, pelicans can travel long distances with a minimum of effort, reaching air speeds of up to 56 km/hour.
Feeding: The bill and pouch of pelicans play an important role in feeding. The bill is sensitive and this helps locate fish in murky water. It also has a hook at the end of the upper mandible, probably for gripping slippery food items. When food is caught, the pelican manipulates it in its bill until the prey typically has its head pointing down the pelican's throat. Then with a jerk of the head the pelican swallows the prey. The bill is delicately built. The lower jaw consists of two thin and weakly articulated bones from which the pouch hangs. When fully extended, the bill can hold up to 13 litres. The pouch does not function as a place to hold food for any length of time. Instead it serves as a short-term collecting organ. Pelicans plunge their bills into the water, using their pouches as nets. Once something is caught, a pelican draws its pouch to its breast. This empties the water and allows the bird to manoeuvre the prey into a swallowing position. The pouch can also serve as a net to catch food thrown by humans, and there are sightings of pelicans drinking by opening their bill to collect rainwater.
The Australian Pelican may feed alone, but more often feeds as a cooperative group. Sometimes these groups are quite large. One group numbered over 1,900 birds. A flock of pelicans works together, driving fish into a concentrated mass using their bills and sometimes by beating their wings. The fish are herded into shallow water or surrounded in ever decreasing circles.
Breeding: Breeding depends on environmental conditions, particularly rainfall. Pelicans are colonial breeders with up to 40 000 individuals grouping on islands or secluded shores. Breeding begins with courtship. The female leads potential mates (two to eight or more) around the colony. As the males follow her in these walks, they threaten each other while swinging their open bills from side to side trying to attract the female's attention. The males may also pick up small objects, like sticks or dry fish, which they toss in the air and catch again, repeating the sequence several times. Both sexes perform "pouch-rippling" in which they clap their bills shut several times a second and the pouch ripples like a flag in a strong breeze. As the courtship parade progresses, the males drop out one by one. Finally, after pursuits on land, water or in the air, only a single male is left. The female leads him to a potential nest site. During the courtship period, the bill and pouch of the birds change colour dramatically. The forward half of the pouch becomes bright salmon pink, while the skin of the pouch in the throat region turns chrome yellow. Parts of the top and base of the bill change to cobalt blue, and a black diagonal strip appears from the base to the tip. This colour change is of short duration, the intensity usually subsiding by the time incubation starts. The nest consists of a scrape in the ground prepared by the female. She digs the scrape with her bill and feet, and lines it with any scraps of vegetation or feathers within reach of the nest. Within three days egg-laying begins and eggs are laid two to three days apart. Both parents share incubation and the eggs are incubated on their feet. The first-hatched chick is substantially larger than its siblings. It receives most of the food and may even attack and kill its nest mates. A newly hatched pelican has a large bill, bulging eyes, and skin that looks like small-grained bubble plastic. The skin around the face is mottled with varying degrees of black and the colour of the eyes varies from white to dark brown. This individual variation helps the parents to recognise their chick from hundreds of others. The chicks leave their nests to form creches of up to 100 birds. They remain in creches for about two months, by the end of which they have learnt to fly and are fairly independent. Wild birds may live between ten and possibly 25 years or more.
Minimum Size: 160cm
Maximum Size: 180cm
Average size: 170cm
Breeding season: At any time of the year
Clutch Size: 1 to 3 eggs
Incubation: 35 days
Nestling Period: 28 days

Into November's photos now, and I was quite pleased with this set. No exciting occasion to dress up for this time though, just a night in at home.
Raw ingredients plus a finished montage of photos. :-)
There are many young geese at the Chase, Dagenham: Canada, greylag and Egyptian. D7100_34507.NEF. Many thanks for views, comments and favourites.

Bâillon's Crake
Scientific Name: Porzana pusilla
Like most species of crakes and rails, Baillon's Crake is a denizen of swamps and other wetlands. Although they are rather secretive and skulk about among the vegetation at the margins of these wetlands, sometimes they can be seen dashing across floating aquatic plants. When they run, they have a peculiar crouching posture, but at other times, they walk slowly with their head down and tail held erect and constantly flicked.
Description: The upperparts of a Baillon's Crake are a rich cinnamon-brown, with black streaks and white spots on the back and wings. They are generally light grey below, with a white belly that has dark barring, which extends onto the undertail. The bill is greenish, as are the legs and feet, while the eye is bright red.
Similar Species: The Australian Spotted Crake is much darker, with dark-brown upperparts and dark-grey underparts.
Distribution: Baillon's Crakes are mostly found in south-eastern and south-western Australia, with records at scattered sites elsewhere throughout the country. The species also occurs in New Zealand, South East Asia, Eurasia and southern Africa.
Habitat: Baillon's Crakes inhabit vegetated wetlands, usually with fresh or brackish water, including swamps, billabongs, lakes and reservoirs and temporarily inundated areas. They often prefer wetlands with floating aquatic vegetation.
Feeding: While foraging, Baillon's Crakes pack at insects, crustaceans, snails and other small invertebrates on areas of open mud at the margins of wetlands, among fringing vegetation, or from floating aquatic plants.
Breeding: Five or six pale-brown eggs are usually laid in a shallow cup or platform made from dry rushes, grass or waterweed, placed among tussocks at the margin of the wetland. Both sexes incubate and both guard the young birds.

My first weekend in Milton Keynes since September 2017. Pink Punters has changed a lot since I was last there - the attic bar is now a swanky cocktail bar and it looks great!
It was our good friend Melissa's birthday so we had a meal and a birthday cake presentation in TGI Fridays.
We also helped Helen out for her first real outing in public too. And saw some friends I haven't seen in ages!
And the next day I had Ikea meatballs for the first time and they were delicious!
At Pink Punters with Helen and the lovely Vicky.
