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."
One thing I will take away from my trip to Skye is the fact that the Island can be overwhelming as a photographer. With so many photographic opportunities it can be hard to make the most of your trip. Locations take much longer to get to than you would expect and the weather can change in the blink of an eye. Forcing myself to go out when it was pouring down just so that if the rain stopped I would be ready was by far the best solution. And yes, even though I did spend a few hours sat in my car or marching through the rain in full wet weather gear, it was totally worth it. Research, plan and organise. Maybe leave the Converse at home too!
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.

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.)

Freedom doesn’t mean the absence of all restrictions. It means possessing unshakable conviction in the face of any obstacle. This is true freedom. - Daisaku Ikeda
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.
