As Walter adeptly hurdled the rainbow canoes in headlong flight from the deadly giant swans, he thought to himself, "When I get to the Frog King I'll stutter left, hesitate, and then go breakneck left all out."
Part of this chain fruit cholla (Cylindropuntia fulgida) is dangling just above the Abington Trail in Saguaro National Park. It would cause a lot of pain if somebody wasn't paying attention and bumped into it.
Another nickname for this cactus is hanging chain cholla. That's very appropriate in this instance.
This rope is tied to the top of this wood pole and is part of a climbing obstacle course.

Protesting the ubiquitous use of mobile phones, the old-timers mobilized to render a veritable London telephone phone booth obstacle course.
It's rarely a simple game of fetch with Curiosity in the house. . .
BTW, Fran, I use those scratching boards all over the house for the cats. They get praised for using them, so they are fond of scratching there, thankfully. Back when I first used them with Ariel, we gave her a treat each time she scratched the treat. Worked well!
(I think it's about time to replace that scratching board.)

Went to Minnamurra yesterday with FOCUS. This is a stunning location to shoot and the deep cut volcanic rock formations at this place are spectacular. Minnamurra is a great to place to shoot even with the cleared sky.
Feel free to share.
Looking down at the incoming tide weaving in and around the
rocky obstacles. Taken on 4/2/13 at Bovisand beach.
Thanks for looking.

I must admit that some obstacles are too high to overcome.
This photo was taken by a Kowa/SIX medium format film camera and KOWA 1:3.5/55mm lens with a Zenza Bronica 67mm SO56•2C(YA3) fllter using Adox CHS 100 II film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600.
Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.

An obstacle is often an unrecognized opportunity.

A pair of Banded Demoiselles (Calopteryx splendens) keep trying and failing to form a mating wheel by the River Welland near Stamford. The grass stem she is perched on prevents her abdomen moving forward, and every time he lifts her up the grass rises too. They were stuck on stupid for quite some time.
I inadvertently did them a favour by getting too close. They flew off together and landed somewhere more suited to copulation (but not for photography).
With the internet and several trees down thanks to an ice storm, I decided to pass the time by railfanning because I thought the ice made for a pretty picture! As branches collapse under the weight of the Ice King, an eastbound CN L533 also feels the wrath of the crazed Simon Petrikov. A track worker pulled up to the relay shed, illuminated with a flashing beacon, and the disabled signal behind me at MP 327.2. He told me the ice was messing with the railroad crossings and signals, and they had to manually flag crossings along the way. He left, the signal came back on, and another worker came around with a generator, hooked it up to the relay shed, and got the crossing up and running for L533 to pass, with the conductor stepping off his locomotive to provide extra protection. After the local knocked the signal down to red, it went dark once more. It seemed like a really tedious process, but thank you to the CN crew for being so nice and chill about me railfanning!
