Some of Long Ly's fish.
Sculptor Long Ly is originally from Saigon, Vietnam. “I lived happily with my family in Saigon until 1978 when we escaped the communist regime at aged only 8 years old. Along with my family we left for an unknown future on a rickety fishing boat.”
He then settled in The UK and completed his schooling. Long went on to a variety of jobs but always had art as his passion. Today he has become a unique artist with one of a kind designs. His pieces are made from recycled metal, ranging from pots and pans to plumbing pipes and carpet dividers – his imagination shows no bounds. Daily items that you would not consider art at all have been turned in to stunning creations with Long’s ingenuity and skill.
When I first came across this on a morning walk, I was sure it was some kind of creature's claw or foot. Now that I go to post this, I see the creature itself in profile. It's ugly & is going to devour that bit of green by the dried leaf!
A drive by shoot courtesy of a moon roof. A squirrel, different birds, and humans. A snowfall that is sticking around for now, not much. It's November and winter is coming.
Yes, I am a creature of habit much more than I'd like to admit. Well, you probably are too. In some way, that is just what it means to be human.

Mesquite Dunes, Death Valley, California
A sandy creature wiggling its way across the dune field before sunrise.
Or so it seems.
Like a midnight creature without a home
A raven without wings
A grave without a stone
I'd die like a tree without leaves
In a blistering winter
With a loveless disease.

I think dogs are the most amazing creatures. They give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive.
I love photography. I went through this online program recently and noticed a lot of photographers seem to be having success with it.
I have just joined this program,
Maybe it would help you out the good stuffs at around the hour mark
Most people who know me by now know I have a bit of a penchant for unusual letterboxes. This skin diving creature was found in a back street of Agnes Water, Queensland.
We had a freeze here in South Florida a few years ago and Iguanas fell from the trees and died. The cold-blooded creatures native to Central and South America start to get sluggish when temperatures fall below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. If temperatures drop below that, iguanas freeze up. Unless seriously injured, many survive.
Now they're back, sunning themselves in open fields and along lakes and streams... even in trees.
The green iguana, or American iguana, is a large, arboreal, mostly herbivorous species of lizard of the genus Iguana. It is native to Central, South America, and the Caribbean. Usually, this animal is simply called the iguana.
The green iguana ranges over a large geographic area, from southern Brazil and Paraguay as far north as Mexico and the Caribbean islands. They have been introduced from South America to Puerto Rico and are very common throughout the island, where they are colloquially known as gallina de palo and considered an invasive species; in the United States feral populations also exist in South Florida, Hawaii, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. They turn a golden orange as they mature. Large ones are affectionately called Ottos at Fairchild Garden.
The bite is always worse than the bark. It's important to know that iguanas are very capable of severely injuring people, other pets and even themselves when the body language they use is not recognized. Most iguanas will give you a very clear sign that trouble is ahead. Most experienced iguana owners who have been bitten or injured by an iguana simply weren't paying close attention to the signs. If you learn to see the signs, you and the iguana will be much safer and probably a lot happier.
About the dewlap... a dewlap is a fold of loose skin hanging from the neck or throat of an animal, especially that present in many cattle. The first thing to know is that iguanas use their dewlap to communicate. There are several things that an iguana can say with their dewlap extended. First of all, an extended dewlap can simply be a greeting. An extended dewlap is often used to say hello to another creature during mating and most generally as a territorial sign. Secondly, it can be a form of protection. A threatened iguana may extend its dewlap to create a larger presence, which may intimidate a predator into thinking it is much larger than it is. Thirdly, an extended dewlap can be a sign that the iguana is trying to adjust its temperature. An extended dewlap on an iguana that's basking in the sun is quite normal. It may be catching more sun to warm up or catching a breeze to cool off. So it's important to see "the big picture" when reading Iguana body language.

Once upon a time there lived in a certain village a little country girl, the prettiest creature who was ever seen. Her mother was excessively fond of her; and her grandmother doted on her still more. This good woman had a little red riding hood made for her. It suited the girl so extremely well that everybody called her Little Red Riding Hood.
One day her mother, having made some cakes, said to her, "Go, my dear, and see how your grandmother is doing, for I hear she has been very ill. Take her a cake, and this little pot of butter."
Little Red Riding Hood set out immediately to go to her grandmother, who lived in another village.
As she was going through the wood, she met with a wolf, who had a very great mind to eat her up, but he dared not, because of some woodcutters working nearby in the forest. He asked her where she was going. The poor child, who did not know that it was dangerous to stay and talk to a wolf, said to him, "I am going to see my grandmother and carry her a cake and a little pot of butter from my mother."
"Does she live far off?" said the wolf
"Oh I say," answered Little Red Riding Hood; "it is beyond that mill you see there, at the first house in the village."
"Well," said the wolf, "and I'll go and see her too. I'll go this way and go you that, and we shall see who will be there first."
The wolf ran as fast as he could, taking the shortest path, and the little girl took a roundabout way, entertaining herself by gathering nuts, running after butterflies, and gathering bouquets of little flowers. It was not long before the wolf arrived at the old woman's house. He knocked at the door: tap, tap.
"Who's there?"
"Your grandchild, Little Red Riding Hood," replied the wolf, counterfeiting her voice; "who has brought you a cake and a little pot of butter sent you by mother."
The good grandmother, who was in bed, because she was somewhat ill, cried out, "Pull the bobbin, and the latch will go up."
The wolf pulled the bobbin, and the door opened, and then he immediately fell upon the good woman and ate her up in a moment, for it been more than three days since he had eaten. He then shut the door and got into the grandmother's bed, expecting Little Red Riding Hood, who came some time afterwards and knocked at the door: tap, tap.
"Who's there?"
Little Red Riding Hood, hearing the big voice of the wolf, was at first afraid; but believing her grandmother had a cold and was hoarse, answered, "It is your grandchild Little Red Riding Hood, who has brought you a cake and a little pot of butter mother sends you."
The wolf cried out to her, softening his voice as much as he could, "Pull the bobbin, and the latch will go up."
Little Red Riding Hood pulled the bobbin, and the door opened.
The wolf, seeing her come in, said to her, hiding himself under the bedclothes, "Put the cake and the little pot of butter upon the stool, and come get into bed with me."
Little Red Riding Hood took off her clothes and got into bed. She was greatly amazed to see how her grandmother looked in her nightclothes, and said to her, "Grandmother, what big arms you have!"
"All the better to hug you with, my dear."
"Grandmother, what big legs you have!"
"All the better to run with, my child."
"Grandmother, what big ears you have!"
"All the better to hear with, my child."
"Grandmother, what big eyes you have!"
"All the better to see with, my child."
"Grandmother, what big teeth you have got!"
"All the better to eat you up with."
And, saying these words, this wicked wolf fell upon Little Red Riding Hood, and ate her all up.
I am not so good with creatures that crawl through my backyard..
But because I love taking pictures, I put this fear aside and just shoot!
This frog had amazing eyes and I took this shot like I do with the dogs...from a low angle...
Well, that's brave don't you think so?

Enjoy your sunday everyone!
Now here's a niche bunch. Was messing around with parts trying to make a Frankenstein fig and came across this lot whilst looking for reference pictures.
Their whole thing is that they were a group of WWII soldiers who were transformed into classic monsters, as a sort of psychological warfare tactic against the Axis forces. It's bonkers, but it's a concept I really like. There was a Frankenstein's monster-esque character on the team already by the name of Elliot 'Lucky' Taylor, but after Flashpoint he was swapped out for the pre-existing version of Frankenstein in the DC Universe. Then, I remembered a version of the team Peppersalt created a while back, and decided to have a crack at my own version of the team.
There's a few missing, mainly GI Robot, who I couldn't for the life of me work out without using one of those Ultron drones and sticking a helmet on it, so I gave up with him.
From left to right we have: Frankenstein, Vincent Velcoro, Matthew Shrieve, Myrna 'Medusa' Rhodes and Warren Griffith.
