The Tony Awards and the first episode of True Blood's season3 are on the same night! Thank heaven for digital video recorders!
The BEST Humane Society in the Pacific Northwest [ IMHO] called to say they have room to take Rusty [ finally] after putting him on the waiting list in November. My appointment is friday at noon to take him in.
They are a [almost] no-kill shelter.
They have high adoption rates. Their facility is state of the art...it's GORGEOUS.
BUT....we have grown attached to Rusty. He causes havoc though...chases June & Keiko in our home...therefore, he has to be in his own room at night and only out of his room when we can supervise. Jasmine wants to eat him....seriously. And when we let him outside, our neighbor's ginger cat comes over and gives him a bad time. We just don't know what to do.
UPDATE:
Decision made. We will KEEP Rusty....maybe we'll ultimately find him a new home...if not, that's ok too...we'll make the best of the situation.
This shot is from 3 mins after yesterdays post as the peregrines got into the huge numbers of duck that had taken to the air - if it was bored with wigeon there are a couple of pintail and a teal in there if it fancied a change.
Of interest in this shot is that the female wigeons wing can be seen through the peregrines wing showing just how "unsolid" a birds wing is.
Can be Larged.

Cada elección tiene su anverso, es decir, una renuncia, por lo que no hay diferencia entre el acto de decidir y el acto de renunciar

My decision to feature the South Pond as the first image for this project was influenced by the significant the pond has undergone. This past autumn was exceptionally warm and very dry. By, only a small area retained a minimal amount of water. Christmas brought over eight inches of fresh snow followed by 50-degree temperatures and more than an inch of rain. Two days after Christmas, the stream opened up and fed pond. Within two days, the pond filled with over six feet of water. By January 3rd, we experienced extremely cold temperatures, freezing the pond solid.
Life revolves around the ebb and flow of our ponds affecting all flora and fauna. We are thrilled by the prospect of a full pond, as it serves as a refuge for all wildlife now and for the incoming migratory birds this spring. now, we celebrate the frozen water and look forward to seeing the first signs of tadpoles.
As I sat monitoring the radio and the ATCS out of Roanoke, I heard the dispatcher trying to get NS 19M out of town. I was chasing a westbound ballast train on the Whitethorne district, but they were moving kind of slow, meeting a train, and so as 19M got the permission to 'head west', I had a decision to make. I could stay with the other train for a shot that would've been nice, or head to Shawsville to meet 19M. The sunlight made my choice pretty easy, as I knew I'd have this gorgeous late evening sunlight for this train, and then I had ANOTHER choice to make: do I go for the classic fence shot, or do I put the drone up, get some elevation, and do something different. I decided to put the drone up just to see, and I wasn't disappointed, and knew this was going to be it. So here is NS 19M as seen from about 30 feet off the ground, working up grade in Shawsville, Virginia at the John Farm. Yeah, I have PLENTY of shots from here from over the years: but how do you beat this light, the mountains, the farms, and the just generally unbelievable scenery on Norfolk Southern's Christiansburg district? I'm not sure you do, at least I've not yet found a place that does.

We visited the bookstore, one of our favorite places to hang out.
Hayley is contemplating a tough decision...Nickelodeon, Highlights, or National Geographic Kids?
Get in or stay dry?
Water at Zuma Beach isn't that cold getting in.
[Seen and photographed at Zuma Beach, a county beach on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California. It's one of the most popular beaches in Los Angeles County. The beach was packed on this day and there were riptides.]
Once this eagle landed with its catch, it had a decision to make as photographers converged - should I stay and consume the fish or fly off with the meal - fortunately, it stayed.
Still waiting for my friend to make up her mind of what to wear. Maybe if I block the mirror she will be quicker.

Whether you're a human making your way through life, or water making its way down the mountain, sometimes we're all faced with tough decisions. Good luck on your journey! ;o) Taken at my favorite spot at South Mountains State Park with that funky old tree in the background.

Ripe payayas (Carica papaya) or Barbados cherries (Malpighia emarginata)? Street vendor displays his wares in Belém do Pará.
Cathead stands in her housecoat, pondering.
Which head to wear today?
Which McNeney to be?
The choice is always hardest on days like today, when Cathead has so much on her mind she needs all heads on deck at once. And truly, sincerely, she wishes she could morph into a full-on cat and crawl into some nice cozy warm pace and just sleep.
We used this shot for our birth announcement card.
Naming an unborn must be one of the toughest decisions to be made...
a good share of the suggestions (...including "Mischa") were contributed by our four years old ;-) "Franz Nemo" became the official project working title.
