I hope the magnificence of this will compensate for the bad quality.Not easy for me to get good results when there is not sufficient light.Not easy with my camera..not easy with my lack of knowledge..
A male Broad Bodied Chaser at rest. Not the sharpest shot in the world but I just love them...so any excuse ;-))

Idea, poses and photo are done by Iris
The wonderful funny story is written by Ash
Special thanks to my sis River Anwyl for playing the copper ^^
This whole story started with the "Mr. Pinchy afair" which can be seen in the album in which I add this photo.
And a big thank you to Mr. Laurel and Mr. Hardy for being the inspiration!
And now without further ado on to the story. Thank you again for putting words to my silly ideas dearest Ash!

"Come on Iris! Just stand up and let me put your chair on the roof and we can go already!.....It will be much faster if I did it!"
"Not a chance, Ash!", Iris grunted as she struggled to get her wheel chair on top of Ash's beat-up old chevette while balancing on a ladder placed against the mountain of stuff that was on top of Ash’s car. "I will feel much better knowing it was secured properly!"
Ash got behind the wheel of her "Classic" Hatchback and waited impatiently. The deafening rumbling noise from the hole in the chevette's muffler drowned out what Iris was trying to say. "Do you really need all this stuff, Ash?"
"What?", her pint-sized friend replied. "Are you ready yet?"
"NO!.....I am not ready, Ash!", Iris called out while struggling to firmly secure her wheel chair atop the mountain of "essential" items.
In the car's backseat, Ash's dog, Professor Noodle, pushed against the door causing the car to slightly shake as if someone had just gotten into the backseat. "Finally!", Ash said, thinking Iris had gotten in the back. "What? Your not talking to me now?", she added. Professor Noodle sniffed at Ash's ear. Ash laughed playfully, "knock it off, Iris! You know I hate that....... and eat a mint!.....Cheese-us your breath smells like you were licking a butthole or eating a tird sandwich or something!"
Ash put the car in drive and gunned it. From on top of the car's roof, Iris screamed out in horror as the car suddenly took off. All she could do was climb into her wheel chair, hold on to her hat and hang on for dear life.
The Chevette made it's way down the canyons winding roads on the way to the interstate. Iris was shrieking the entire time like a gay vampire who was locked outside a grave as the sun came up.
Inside the car, Ash was blasting Starship's Greatest Hits and was singing along at the top of her lungs. She was so caught up in the middle of her favorite song, “Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now”, that she didn't notice the motorcycle cop behind her with it's flashing lights on.
Officer Anwyl realized the driver of the chevette wasn't going to pull over, so she decided to take a shortcut and cut them off a few miles down the winding the road.
In no time, officer Anwyl was ahead of the chevette and stood in the middle of the road ready to order them to stop.
The hunk of rusty red metal rounded the corner at a high rate off speed. Iris was white knuckling her wheel chair as the tiny hatchback tilted on to two wheels. Mister Pinchy even slipped out of the side pocket he was stowing away in and hung on by his tiny little pincher. Officer Anwyl screamed out and high stepped out of the way, narrowly escaping the wrath of Ash's clunker with bad brakes. Ash had to pull up the emergency brake handle in order to stop the car.
"SHUT THE ENGINE OFF NOW!", commanded officer Anwyl. Ash killed the engine and could immediately hear Iris on top of the roof, hyperventilating.
Ash peaked her head out the window and looked up, "What are you doing up there, Iris? You trying to get me a ticket?" Iris stared down at Ash, her face flushed red, boiling over with anger.
"I am gonna need to see some ID", demanded officer Anwyl. Ash reached for her purse but was interrupted by the officer. "No not you ma'am, Teen Wolf up there", she said, pointing at Iris.
Iris was completely baffled. "ME?!"
"Yes you!. I am issueing you a summons for ‘Reckless Endangerment’ and for ‘Riding in a Non-Designated Passenger Compartment."
Iris stared down at Ash who was looking up at her with a sheepish smile on her lush lips and scratching the top of her head, and said: "Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into!"
Passed a tattoo studio in Old Town and went inside to take a few snaps.
I asked the guy if it hurt and everybody in the room started laughing, guess I got my answer there ;)
Done for the Macro Monday theme, "Reflections." The glass containing the sand is just 2 inches long. And, this is a bit late; I've been busy with computer stuff. Anyhow, HMM!
Here's a favorite quote: "Time works for you or against you depending upon how you use it."
- David Ben Gurion
Los vulpinos (Vulpini) son una tribu de mamíferos carnívoros incluidos en la familia de los cánidos. Se conocen comúnmente como zorros, zorras, raposos o raposas.
A diferencia de muchos cánidos, los zorros no son usualmente animales de manada. Son solitarios cazando su presa (especialmente roedores). Empleando una técnica de salto practicada desde una edad muy temprana, son capaces de matar a su presa raudamente. Se alimentan asimismo desde saltamontes a fruta y bayas.
Este lo pille en la Sierra de Cazorla y claro esta como buen zorro sabe bien donde puede comer de manera placida y sin esfuerzo, asi que se acerco para que le diesemos de comer.
Bueno espero que os agrade el zorro y las tomas
Os recuerdo que toddas se pueden ver en grande y comentarlas

Non quedan forzas que me permitan continuar, non quedan gañas tampouco. Non quedan momentos que se poidan disfrutar, non queda nada do que houbo.
Non queda máis ca lembranzas intanxibles, momentos inesquecibles, noites ás que voltar tódalas noites, bicos, palabras impredecibles antonte.
Non quedas ti, agora parte indistinguible do espacio que me rodea, do aire que respiro, da auga deste mar no que me miro, do mundo creado por un deus no que non creo e ti es atea.
E daría canto puidese dar porque volveras.

There's no strength left that allows me to continue, there's no will neither. There are no moments left that can be enjoyed, there's nothing left of what there used to be.
There's nothing more than intangible memories, unforgettable moments, nights to come back to every night, kisses, unpredictable words of yesterday.
You're not left here, now undistinguishibale part of the space that surrounds me, of the air I breath, of the water of this sea I look myself into, of the world created by a god in which I don't believe in and you're an atheist.
And I would give as much as I could give so you came back.
-------------
No quedan fuerzas que me permitan continuar, no quedan ganas tampoco. no quedan momentos que se puedan disfrutar, no queda nada de lo que hubo.
No queda más que recuerdos intangibles, momentos inolvidables, noches a las que volver todas las noches, besos, palabras impredecibles anteayer.
No quedas tú, ahora parte indistinguible del espacio que me rodea, del aire que respiro, del agua de este mar en el que me miro, del mundo creado por un dios en el que no creo y tú eres atea.
Y daría cuanto pudiese dar porque volvieras.
I began to roam around ...

I have recently started using an external 500GB Lexar SSD as my primary photo drive. It is very light, compact and has an indication of space used on the front as you can see (1/5 used now). The LaCie is primary backup drive 1TB and I am probably replacing this with another Lexar SSD like the one shown as it is so light. Secondary backup is to a Buffalo Linkstation Pro Quad 12TB mirrored drive (RAID 1) server for the time being.
213 now usually has full EVs unfortunately, which now leaves 2 routes allocated DOEs. These EVs have really nothing to be said about and are quite boring,though it feels like it was last year when FW withdrew lots of the SPs.
A crewmember has just finished flagging a quiet crossing as the Montreal East Switcher heads light power to pick up empties at Bitumar.
I watched this Cormorant from our hotel room on the top (tenth) floor, I thought about photographing it but I thought by the time I got down there it would have flown off.
It fished a little but mostly sat on this rock.
After an hour I cracked, picked up the camera and headed for the elevator.
It was still there when I got down and I approached, taking pictures, all the time waiting for it to fly off.
It just sat there!
I jumped from rock to rock and got within fifteen feet of it, I think it knew that the last jump was too much for me.
It was 35 centigrade, I guess Cormorants keep cool by panting, it was panting like a dog, that's why it's beak is open.
Every living thing was just trying to stay cool.
Too Hot......
