Contemplating Mortality - a tiny carved scull of moose antlers, by Native Americans of Alaska. Seen at the TEP venue of the Tucson Rock and Gem Show, 2012. I am holding this little skull and trying to shoot it handheld with a Canon 5D Mark II, with 100mm f/2.8 macro lens and no flash. That was hard to do! But I was fortunate that the vendor was agreeable to me trying macro shots with available light in a very busy sales setting with scores of people crowding to see the crafts and passing by.
Contemplating weather I use it for waggler fishing or feeder fishing & what size line should I put on?
Picture was taken in October 2006, but the film was left undeveloped until December 2015.

A little outtake from yesterday's pix of Charlie Parker.
She seems to have a scientific bent! And I have to say the only reason I
know the word "mesosphere" is from hearing descriptions of his work from my scientist/astronomer/ballroom dancing brother!
Taken at the N.C. Zoo yesterday. It was great meeting two Flickr friends!
Valerie and Tammy: Thanks a bunch for a great day!

After fishing, cormorants go ashore, and are frequently seen holding their wings out in the sun. All cormorants have preen gland secretions that are used ostensibly to keep the feathers waterproof. Some sources[1] state that cormorants have waterproof feathers while others say that they have water permeable feathers. Still others suggests that the outer plumage absorbs water but does not permit it to penetrate the layer of air next to the skin. The wing drying action is seen even in the flightless cormorant but commonly in the Antarctic shags and red-legged cormorants. Alternate functions suggested for the spread-wing posture include that it aids thermoregulation, digestion, balances the bird or indicates presence of fish. A detailed study of the Great Cormorant concludes that it is without doubt] to dry the plumage.
Cormorants are colonial nesters, using trees, rocky islets, or cliffs. The eggs are a chalky-blue colour. There is usually one brood a year. The young are fed through regurgitation. They typically have deep, ungainly bills, showing a greater resemblance to those of the pelicans', to which they are related, than is obvious in the adults.

I’m over in Glasgow for a few days at the Celtic Connections music festival. Found a nice cafe with good views of some of the street art yesterday.
Quite a classic of a sunset, but now in the Westman Islands. I could have easily cloned the lamp post, but it has a human feel to it. It seem to be contemplating the sunset - a simple lamp post that can only light a few meters of street, admiring the power of the Sun just before their working shifts are changed.
