And now for something completely different as they say.
A bit of an oldie and a similar image was posted a while ago in a triptych but not as a single image. For the group, "Looking close... on Friday!" Theme: "Crown"
Stu was number three in the rooster pecking order from our potluck pack of pandemic chickens we picked up in 2020. He never crowed and was the outlier of the group. Well, that all changed when number 1 and then 2 got eaten by a fox! After that the "free range" days ended, more fence was added and Stu assumed a leadership role. He really turned into a tough little nut and most definitely was the ruler of the roost. He would crow whenever someone was near or something strange was going on but then he also turned into an obnoxious bad ass attack chicken.
In 2021 he fathered some chicks and one turned out to be another rooster. As the son reached adulthood, Stu got demoted and now his son is the ruler of the roost. Stu still hangs in there but is kept in his place. I know he's just waiting until his son gets eaten!!

Running through a red light
Like we're trying to burn the night away
Away-way, oh, away-way, oh
This is my favorite part oh
Help me piece it all together darling
Before it falls apart oh
Help me piece it all together
It's a quarter past midnight
And the speakers are blowing
Yeah, yeah, We want the bodies on the billboards
Not the lives underneath them
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and now we're crawling up the walls again
And its a quarter past the world
Tra always fits in....hoot...hoot

Don't close your eyes, dear, don't you be nervous
You put this hold damn place in a spell
I see your friends here, and some of them jealous
'Cause they know this love don't come off the shelf
I saw your mother, she looks so beautiful
Remember when she didn't think I would stay?
But all of those late-night, broke-as-hell dinners
Led us to where we're standing today
I'm feeling time move slow
I'm seeing faces glow
None of them shine as bright
As you tonight
I'm hearing voices hush
There's no one else but us
Darling, there's so much love
Under these lights
If it's okay, let's just have the time
Of our lives

Self-Reflection
I’ve often found myself forcing situations or looking back in shoulda- coulda- woulda mode. These past few years have taught me that life is way too short for regrets, and it’s so much easier to allow things to flow naturally. Thus, although I may lead my life’s direction, with ample time for reflection, that does not impede my ability to function. My caravan seems aligned for the future, but I’ll always look for opportunity in the outliers. With back to the mirrors, I forge ahead into the unknown, storms ominously brewing behind me. See, we never know when the storms will come, but we can rest assured that they won’t last forever.

I should point out that this handsome gent is an outlier in our yard these days-- most of our cardinals are molting and losing many of their head feathers. It was pretty warm, so this guy was panting to keep cool, and he was intrigued about something-- check out how high is crest is raised!

Previously unpublished shot from May 2019.
I had to find a shot connected with music for my favourite evening of the year. I'll be enjoying the Eurovision Song Contest tonight celebrating by mixing a Ukrainian dish with some British fodder for dinner and a smorgasbord of European delicacies later.
No dancing this year though. My fractured foot is just getting more painful and more swollen each day and I suspect that the advice given was wrong. 'Walk on it as normal' is the outlier in medical advice for a fractured fifth metatarsal. I can't put weight through it and frankly don't think that I should.
So... no alcohol and no dancing but there will be good food and some good music, and some less good music too - that's why I love Eurovision! Enjoy!
The Mollestad Oak (in Norwegian: Mollestadeika or Vetteika) is a monumental, legendary oak near the Norwegian village of Mollestad in the municipality of Birkenes, Norway.
The oak has a circumference of 9.21 metres (30.2 ft), measured in 2001, and a height of around 13 metres (43 ft), which makes the Mollestad Oak one of the largest trees in Norway. Estimates of the age are between 450 and 550 years, but there are also outliers to around 1000 years. The oak is traditionally a knot oak and the trunk extends to a height of four meters.
The oak is located on a field. In the direction of the oak from the road, there is a grassy strip over which the oak can be reached.
The nickname Vetteika comes from the vættir. She believed that when the farm builder died, he returned as a guardian spirit. The trees that grew around his burial mound were protected and the surrounding land sacred. It was believed that when these trees were damaged this would bring bad luck.
To ensure that everything went well, sacrifices were made to the tree, including the first brewed beer of the year. wikipedia
Been doing a bit of archive mining to break up the stream a bit.
This is the eastern end of the Beinn Eighe range, the biggest and most complex of the Torridon giants. The shot was taken from the col between Beinn Eighe and it's outlier Ruadh Stac Beag. It's the sort of spot where you are very unlikely to see anyone else; quiet and remote, but the views are superb.
...And this was the last time I walked on snow in June.

North Cascades, Washington
Sometimes the best moments on a hike are the ones I wasn't looking for. The ones that flow from simply being present in a place and open to what surrounds me; suspending the constraints of time and conscious thought. That's where the magic happens.
Along a narrow trail that climbs above the beautiful Blue Lake in the North Cascade mountains, there lies a small tarn. Ringed by alpine larches and towering walls of rock, it has a quiet unassuming presence in a vast landscape of majestic peaks. On this October day which hovered on the cusp of winter, the tarn was coated in a layer of ice, and snow dusted the surrounding edges.
And yet, as I sat on a rocky outcropping and contemplated the view before me, I could feel an inviting warmth emanating from this frozen lakelet. The larches began to glow as the sun emerged from behind the clouds, its rays illuminating the golden needles. As I felt that that same sun warm my face, a sense of peacefulness suffused my soul. Then I slowly sank into the calm, and surrendered to the magic of the moment.
Larches
A side note for those who may be unfamiliar with larches: they are a deciduous conifer, so they drop their needles in the winter after turning from green to gold for a short period of time in the fall. There are several species of larch but the ones here are the alpine larch, Larix lyallii. They live at subalpine and alpine elevations (5900 to 7900 feet/1800-2400 meters) and are mostly found in the Rocky Mountains, however there is one small outlier population that happens to grow in the North Cascades in Washington. The spectacular colors and limited population of the trees brings crowds of hikers flocking to the North Cascades trails for a couple of weeks every fall for "larch madness". (I am including a close up shot of the needles in the first comment below for those who may be interested.)
Transpantaneira - Poconé, MT, Brazil.
Over a large dead bull. With some black vulture (Coragyps atratus) on the background.
This species is found in Central and South America. It's an outlier in the family for having many white feathers, since its relatives are overall black.
Although it's "only" the third largest member of the New World vultures (the two species of condors are larger), the King Vulture has the largest skull and braincase, and strongest bill of the birds in the Cathartidae family. It often makes the initial cut into a fresh carcass. It also displaces smaller New World vulture species from a carcass.
Known in Brazil as "urubu-rei".
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Aves
Order: Cathartiformes
Family: Cathartidae
Genus: Sarcoramphus Duméril, 1805
Species: S. papa (Linnaeus, 1758)
Binomial name: Sarcoramphus papa
A simple collage combining a few of my recent images from our city's fabulous lakeshore...
Going clockwise from upper left:
1 - Three amigo gulls hang out to watch the sunset
2 - A mallard drake takes to the air and flies past me
3 - A swamp sparrow sings its heart out
4 - Our city's landmark lighthouse at the North Pier
Technically number 3 is an outlier, with my photographing the sparrow at a local marsh.
Is the lakeshore always this colorful and 'perfect'? Of course not. No place is. Plenty of dreary and drizzly days. Lots of cold and bitter winds. Grey and drab colors abound.
But they are offset by bright sunny days, warm summer sunsets, and birds and wildlife that make us smile. It's all about spending time in the field, training one’s eyes to see possibilities, and loving the outdoors and nature.
And of course, good processing is critical to good outcomes :)
Sheboygan, Wisconsin, USA....
I love you, Sheboygan!

Was having a cleanup of old photos today when I stumbled across this one. I remember thinking at the time there wasn't enough foreground interest, so it was a bit bland. It is a merge of three bracketed exposures. So it was never looked at again.
These days I have a new appreciation for clouds. I love them, in all their forms. I'll be out with people and they will say "what a beautiful day, hey". My usual response is "it's okay but, there aren't any clouds.
Anyway, the clouds performing their "opera" here caught my interest tonight. There is the drama of the rain, the glory of the sun peaking , the roiling of the mid levels, the whispering of the outliers. That's how I remember it anyway.
Any other cloud lovers out there?
Have a great cloudy day everyone :)
The Iceland Gull is one of a few predictable or regular occurring rarities along the Great Lakes. This bird can also be found on the northern range of both the east and west coasts.
The IG breeds in the arctic as well as Greenland, but the color coded map on allaboutbirds indicates it is non-breeding in its namesake Iceland. Hmm!
The IG shows up as a single in large groups of Ringbills and Herrings, so when out for a bit of winter birding, one should peruse carefully a flock of gulls to see if an outlier is hanging out.
This is a juvenile Iceland. Notice the full black beak. Another outlier, the Glaucous Gull, will have only a half black bill on the juvenile. The Iceland can easily blend in with a juvenile Herring Gull, except the juvenile Iceland will not have any black on the wing tips and will generally have lighter markings.
I found this gull last winter in a lake-like river out a mile or two before it empties into Lake Michigan. Because the water moves, it stays open while providing shelter, and many ducks and gulls will gather there.

Thank you to Mya Potato for this amazing collaboration. And for inspiring me to always embrace my weirdness. I can't wait for more collabs!
Perhaps one of the most common birds in the US, and one I take for granted or rather ignore because they are so plentiful. When I see a gull, it is most likely a ring-billed. It is the gull I have to scan to see if a desirable outlier might be among the ring-bills.
However, I have decided to photograph the ultra common birds, too, so I thought I would begin a gull series with this ever-present bird.
I found this guy on the shores of Lake Huron.
In any population there are always the special ones--the artists, the writers, the musicians, the inventors that seem to soar above the heads of we mortals. Without them, it would be a pretty mundane world.

It was an absolute honor to see Jim Jarmusch this past Saturday…kind of a real pinch me is this real wait please stop pinching me it actually hurts kind of a feeling! I’ve been a fan of Jim Jarmusch since I could walk….no, perhaps that is an exaggeration but it’s at least been awhile. I am trying to think of the first film I actually saw by him and I think it was Coffee and Cigarettes. That was a film seen at just the right age where I had discovered coffee and longed for more philosophical conversations fueled by caffeine and thoughts. I thought the film clever but not too clever. More like the type of clever fitting for a film I’d actually want to be in myself-not to become famous but just to have a few good conversations. Dead Man was another film that made me realize the vital place of poetry, like that of William Blake, in this world. Years later, I would fall in love with Paterson and William Carlos Williams…the way the twins and switching of careers were made whimsical along with metaphorical plums. This is just to say that I have admired this human for a while. I have watched Mystery Train and loved the way every shot was framed with perfection. Night on Earth was a way to appreciate the moments that people never seem to account for and Ghost Dog was compelling in a way that nodded to pop culture but creating something all of its own. Even the spookier The Dead Don’t Die and Only Lovers Left Alive were genius films.
Jarmusch talked about his empathy for actors and how he didn’t want to put actors through the strenuous hardships that other directors do. He talked about being careful and particular about scenes but also imagining a human in a way that they might evolve into a character. He talked about meeting Jean-Luc Godard and talking about the difference between ice cream in Paris and in Italy. He talked about how Neil Young and he had agreed that the best day was a day without a plan. He mentioned that he enjoyed poetry but he thought the best advice about writing it was along the NY school line of thinking that you should write for a person in mind vs. the whole world. He talked about how he didn’t care for musicals outside of Busby Berkeley films and how the director of Nosferatu, F. W. Murnau, had written an essay for Colliers in the 1920s before talking films about how someday he envisioned that films would feature real people doing real things instead of just beautiful glamorous people. Jarmusch talked about how Robert Mitchum had a really vivid sense of humor. Jarmusch said he was an outlier in Hollywood because he had to have the final cut. He revealed his next to be released film will make Paterson feel like an action film. He said he wasn’t interested in owning a big house with a pool in Beverly Hills. When he was talking about Only Lovers Left Alive and Paterson, he said it was great when you found someone where even those boring moments were great.
Simply put, there is just no one this Earth quite like Jim Jarmusch….
