This guy might need a four leaf clover to survive another summer of racoon attacks. My 2nd shot on Explore! The highest it has made it is #117 for July 10, 2008. Thanks for the compliment, Interestingness algorithm!
lucky fish, Japanese beauty.
care for details, LOOK AT IT CAREFULLY
. This is a very beautiful and unique photo. :)
When fishing but it was too cold and instead took couple pictures of the gulls fishing 12-25-2017 Steelworkers Park I took several pictures of fish managing to escape -I guess the cold weather was helping.
This cormorant was not quite quick enough in swallowing the fish before the black head gull decided it fancied its chances...
The overall winner was the fish though, who managed to get away ;)
Or at least, that's how it seems to me as I cannot make
the proverbial "head or tail" distinction of this raptor.

A very very sweet
and warm man, he's known
as Peg-o the Leg-o and also
the Elephant Man, and is one
of the stars of the
999 Eyes Freakshow.
He's got a rare condition
called Neurofibromatosis -
wich causes bumps and
weird growths all over his body
and resulted in the loss of one
leg. He told me-
sitting in the afternoon
cool of Safari Sam's club
in Hollywood prior to a show
that night - that he's been shunned
his whole life by people
presuming his condition
is contagious.
Believing - perhaps
inaccurately - that freakish
folks are accepted more kindly
in Hollywood - where all of
America's black sheep
congregate - he told me that
even here's he's been
shunned and isolated.
Raised in Long Beach,
California - he's now a happy
man, a cherished member
of this 999 Eyes modern
freak show headquartered
in Austin, Texas. He's got
many acres of land and a little
Texas home all his own now
and his once nightmarish
life has been transformed
into one of fun,
celebration and excitement.
And a sense of belonging.
You can learn more about
him and his friends
at www.999eyes.com. There
they have a section on him,
and this is what they wrote:
"Peg-O the Leg-O" lives
with a genetic condition known as Neurofibro-matosis, or NF for short. He lives with little lumps and bumps all over his body, from the tip of his head to the tops of his toes. Pegleg's story is an inspirational triumph over adversity.
—Born in 1895, inflicted with the genetic disorder NF to the point of having one leg removed, Pegleg traveled the freakshow circuit. He stayed on until 1935 when scientists, whose goal it was to kill the freakshow for social control, stole him from the midway to experiment on and study him to prove that his condition was that of a sick human and not of a Fabulous Freak... because funding for the project was cut they decided to freeze him until more funds could be obtained. The funding never came and Poor Pegleg was forgotten...
— Until one day a kindly showoman snuck into the basement of a medical anomalies laboratory. Her initial goal was to obtain a two-headed baby for her show, but it was there that she then discovered the man frozen. After defrosting Pegleg she set out to help him in his mission of revenge on the scientists who are still trying to destroy the freakshow Museum ov Mutantstrosities by institutionalizing, exploiting and abusing freaks for medical answers and experimentation...
That water splash in front of the osprey was created by some very, very lucky fish that managed to evade capture! Haha!

Yesterday, for
reasons unknown to
us humans here, Zippy
decided to spend much of
the day hiding behind the couch,
leaping up periodically
to perch like an adorable
puppet at the crest of the
couch, before disappearing
again into places only
kitties can reach.
So I got my camera,
enticed him to make one
of his puppet-like appearances
by various dangling
finger methods,
and when he popped up
jack-in-the-box-like -
I took his photo. Here's
one. In motion, it's a tad
soft-focus - which means
blurry - but the energy
and dedication to
fun and vitality
is there.
At one point I looked down the table and realized that 3 of my favourite people were sat side by side. It made my heart swell a little. This is what happiness is.
having always wanted to try one of those "conveyor belt" sushi restaurants, saad, megz and i finally decided to try one and so we came here to lucky fish located in beverly hills. it was a pretty new restaurant having just opened. it was fun watching the food go by and having to choose something that looked good, a lot of what i chose was really based on presentation and i gotta say, it was pretty good! not cheap by any means, but well worth the experience. service was excellent and i liked the atmosphere and the decor of the place.

// tea with us became more than an idealization of the form of drinking—it is a religion of the art of life, Kakuzo Okakura
perhaps Kakuzo was referring to bubble tea; LOL
my family told me they've had this drink prior, but I seem to have been living in a cave and haven't heard about this addictive drink until I read about it from luckyfish's recent blog posting;
so in the past 2 days, we've visited our local neighborhood Pearl Fever and have had 5, cold smoothies with pearls (tapioca): 3 mangos, 1 kiwi and 1 strawberry; the only real bubble (green) tea was my mango with pearls and mango jelly; they're all amazing drinks;
A spirited, high-kicking
and very sweet and talented
woman - Dierdra - in the
999 Eyes Freak show which
came to Hollywood -
they're at the CIA in NOHO
tonight -
and she - and her beau-
a photographer who was there-
are wonderful warm folks
who I was happy to
meet on this great night
at Safari Sam's
where the legendary
Ricky Jay
was in the audience
taking it
in .
Green tea gelato mixed with vanilla gelato makes a new real Japanese taste. Why green tea, is because chinese love Tea, Asian love tea.
What in my mind was I need to create a simple decoration with cherry blossom and lucky fish made from white choco on top. So, I coated the gelatos with white choco ganache and circled it with dark choco ganache. And at the final, it looked absolutaly stunning.

Occasionally, when I am
lucky, Boulevard
and/or Gorgeous magazine
(both owned by the same man),
hire me to do restaurant
reviews in Los Angeles.
And when I am really lucky,
they hire me to do sushi
restaurants, and these are the
best, cause I love sushi and
it's so expensive that rarely would
I gorge myself the way I'd like to.
And this was the luckiest of all-
a brand new restaurant in
Beverly Hills with a Japanese
twist - an ever-moving
conveyor belt of sushi dishes
revolving around the entire
restaurant, from which you
can help yourself at any moment.
It's truly a moveable feast,
and feast we did. As not only
it is a cool and colorful concept,
the sushi here is amazingly
great.
It's on Canon Drive in
Bev Hills. You can sit down
and start eating immediately.
A joy. And you can just get
a few dishes, and not have
a huge check. Or you can
be a glutton as I was, and get
quite carried away, like a kid
in a candy store, or a
hungry Angeleno in
a sushi cafe.
Fortunately I didn't have to
pay, but I did write up a
very hyperbolic but genuine
rave review. Yum.
Here's the main chef
smiling
in front of his computer screen
with the conveyor belt of color-coded
dishes to which he is constantly adding
zippy by. This is the future now.
