Hey everyone! I hope your Memorial Day weekend has started off in grand style! Of course, I was up early and although the beach sunrise wasn't notable, at least the beach and water are still oil-free and quite beautiful...such a blessing for all, especially the local merchants who desperately need the tourist business over the long weekend in case the rest of the summer is ruined...and I was very heartened to see bumper-to-bumper beach bound traffic as I left from my morning hike!

I hiked the beach Refuge trails all morning and the humidity was lower than it has been lately, making for a very pleasant excursion...here's just a bit of what I saw...

Have a wonderful, safe holiday weekend! : )

Well this is the man who fixes broken lomos.

He's a really nice guy and was much younger than i expected.

We had a bit of a chat, but all i kept thinking was 'this is roger lean!!!'

i've read so much about him on flickr and seen that so many people are so happy because of him. It was like he was a celebrity, even though he was totally un aware of it.

Oxyopes macilentus, sometimes known as the lean lynx spider, is a species of lynx spiders from East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and northern Australia. They are active predators, hunting invertebrates (including other spiders) among vegetation. They are especially common in grassy areas and rice fields. Their bodies are characteristically long and thin, about four times as long as it is wide. Their body color ranges from pale white to yellow, orange, or green; with a... (Source: Wikipedia)

"Lean On Me"

An old barn in deep need of support finds some in a silo built about the same time as it was. No matter our age or circumstances, life is more bearable with someone to lean on...

Every once in a while, I get people sticking their tongue out for the photo. I think they do it in jest, but some men seem to take it to the extreme. This in my opinion ruins the picture. Perhaps it is an indication that they do not want the photo taken or perhaps it is just to let me know exactly how long their tongue was in case I was wondering.

Initially, I had rejected this photo but when I was trying to deal with the other photo of this young man with his tongue just coming out, I had difficulty explaining it in that photo so I decided to publish this one so you could help me out and let me know why you think this is being done.

The October 2, 2005, New York Times article, “They’re Not Just Saying Ah” may be hitting on some of the reasons.

Feel free to leave your interpretation in the comments section below.

For it won't be long,

'Til I'm gonna need,

Somebody to lean on.

The 85 meter barge Lean has discharged her load of 2500 tonnes of coal at the Orsoy transfer terminal on the Rhine. A locomotive dedicated to a life marshalling coal trains for the Niall company can be seen in the background.

This is an average size barge, quite often they are articulated with a tractorless barge in front. When they are moving you certainly don't get in the way. There are hundreds of them on the Rhine.

at the Effie Yeaw Nature Trail in Sacramento, CA along the American River

This tree has an interesting angle to it's standing, there are many trees along this path that are similar with mystery. As I was setting up the tripod to take this photo I noticed a buck with one horn sitting behind the tree. It moved away slowing but I did manage to change the lens and snap a photo. Notice the animal trail that is pronounced to the right of the tree. There are many paths in nature.

when the world feels too heavy to carry alone...lean on me!

"Lean On Me"

Sometimes in our lives

We all have pain, we all have sorrow

But if we are wise

We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me when you're not strong

And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on

For it won't be long

'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

Please, swallow your pride

If I have things you need to borrow

For no one can fill those of your needs

That you won't let show

You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand

We all need somebody to lean on

I just might have a problem that you'll understand

We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me when you're not strong

And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on

For it won't be long

'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand

We all need somebody to lean on

I just might have a problem that you'll understand

We all need somebody to lean on

If there is a load

You have to bear that you can't carry

I'm right up the road, I'll share your load

If you just call me

Call me (If you need a friend)

Call me (Call me uh-huh)

Call me (When you need a friend)

Call me (If you ever need a friend)

Call me (Call me)

Call me (Call me)

Call me (Call me)

Call me (Call me)

Call me (If you need a friend)

Call me (Call me)

Call me (Call me)

Call me (Call me)

Call me (Call me)

Call me

The entire time I edited this image I listened to Lean wit It, Rock wit It by Dem Franchize Boyz. I hate rap music but this one is a classic.

This is a pretty old picture taken at the beginning of the summer. The first time I processed it was extremely poor so today I decided to make it right.

I don't know how the idea for Ryan to lean with the Milky Way came about. It makes the image much more interesting because just the backside of a person looking at the cosmos is pretty dull.

Hope you like the water mark! It'll be sporting all my photos from here on out i guess :/

***********************************************************************************

The Tricolored or Louisiana Heron does not swim but wades in deep water. Audubon called this bird "Lady of the Water" because of its grace and beauty. It resembles the Great Blue Heron but is much smaller and more delicate. Its white belly clearly distinguishes it from all other Herons. It strides briskly through the water, sometimes running after fish and catching them with a thrust of the bill. This action is so fast that it can only be caught with a shutter speed of 1/4000th of a second! Their chicks have a reddish coat but turn blue with age.

The name Louisiana Heron is very misleading because it also lives in coastal states from North Carolina to Texas, and especially in Florida.
