Just nuts - bearly awake
You know how it happens. You are sitting there having a quiet beer while looking at all the great photos on Flickr. You feel a bit peckish and remember you have some peanuts in the pantry... Next minute, where did they go?
Fort-Dauphin (Madagascar) - Je ne dirai pas que ce magasin est le plus délabré qu’il m’ait été donné de voir, mais il est dans le peloton de tête. Nous sommes dans les rues adjacentes du marché de Fort-Dauphin. Ce baraquement est une maison d’habitation qui sert également de lieu de commerce. L’homme dans la pièce de droite (le fils de la famille) vend du charbon de bois, quant à sa mère, elle propose des cacahouètes dans de petites boites en fer qui servent d’unité de mesure. La boite est vendue avec les cacahouètes, mais elle n’est pas consignée.
Fort-Dauphin (Madagascar) - I won't say that this store is the most dilapidated that I have ever seen, but it is in the leading group. We are in one of the streets adjacent to the Fort-Dauphin market. This barrack is a residential house which also serves as a place of commerce. The man in the room on the right (the son of the family) sells charcoal, while his mother sells peanuts in small iron boxes which serve as a unit of measurement. The box is sold with the peanuts but it is not returnable.
Fox squirrels on a spring day in Ann Arbor, Thursday June 2nd, 2022. Lots of mommas who are still nursing their little ones, who are definitely starting to make their way on campus. Also saw a few bunnies, including the poor juvenile with tics on her ears. Wishing you joy, health and peace wherever you are.
EXPLORED-May 2020 Last June I had to put my cat to sleep. Well, as soon as he was gone, the little chipmunks were brave enough to come around. I started tossing a few peanuts out in the mornings when I had my latte on the porch. Little by little I coaxed them up to me to take one. Then over the winter, I left a jar of sunflower seeds out for them, hoping they would stay around. I was so happy that it didn't take long at all for them to remember me!
Ha!ha! Just another Chippy photo taken today. I love his little hands wrapped around the peanut like a corn on the cob;)
Last January we were taking photos in a once-in-a-lifetime snowfall here. In 2026, Paprihaven is back to normal with temperatures around 25c/77f.
These warm spells in the dead of winter always coax some of the Azaleas to bloom.
Happily, this year, it is the Nippon Camellia. We particularly love these blooms as the petals are so dense and layered.
From our Peanuts plush collection, this larger Snoopy plush with lime green accents and matching tee turned out to be a perfect Azalea Amore model!

In our toy collecting, plush is not a strong point and that remains true for our Peanuts collection. The 2001 'Many Lives of Snoopy' series from McDonald's Japan is a plush series that we featured from 2020-2021. Because each plush figure was themed, it was easy to create specific scenes.

Also, in Japan we did pick up a nice series of small plush, about 16mm. These plush seem to have the same origin though there are different tags. The Law Label (The label that is sewn to plush toys containing copyright and materials information.) always has 'Peanuts' and a copyright for United Feature Syndicate. The cardboard tag labels vary with many carrying the 'RM' label. All of the plush were manufactured in Hong Kong. So, we think a Japanese company (Perhaps Nakajima Corporation) manufactured these and released them to various distributors.
Most of these plush have no distinguishing themes or names but rather standard figures released in a variety of colors. We've photographed a couple from this series here:

So, rather than creating scenes with stories, we decided to feature these lovely plush among the Peanuts collection and provide some fun information.

While seeming patient, chippy was very disappointed in my "don't feed the wildlife" stance, and left in a hop, skip and jump.

LENS TEST: OM ZUIKO Auto-Zoom 1:4 f = 75-150mm

Still testing out this old OM lens, of which I read a good review some times ago, after stumbling upon a series of very beautiful images taken with it, which did not give the feeling of being the product of a ’70-’80 lens at all. I've found by chance a mint copy for peanuts at the used camera store I frequently visit in the neighborhood to kill time (and with it, my these-days-always-too-few bucks) and only after I realized we had one in our collection...! Doh~!
Anyway... I love OM lenses because (beside being a log time Oly user) they belong to a time when Olympus used to do things very well and with pride. And while they can not equate modern HD lenses for digital, almost all of them are top notch and still delivers quality images with a special character. The only regret is that they can’t be used directly on Pentax FF bodies, unless you change their mount with a Leitax one, with some slight modification: flange distance is almost identical, therefore too thin to accept a standard adapter ring. So you need one with extra refocusing glass inside, which unfortunately tend to bring a loss of quality, brightness, colors when you less expect it (none to be seen in these images, though).
You can find a good description of the lens here:
www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/olympuso...
Despite its age and its pioneering status (the first Oly zoom) it is reasonably sharp, with a good color bouquet (greens and red are vivid and with a slight yellow component). The quick blur transition when you move away from the center is, I think, to be attributed to the extra glass of the adapter, which also contribute unwanted flares in frontal strong light, and a bit of iridescent glare at the edges of back-lit outlines.
Fox squirrels enjoying the University of Michigan campus during the third week of Fall Term, 2021. Pictures from Ann Arbor on a few quick walks through campus on a warm late Summer day - Friday September 17th, 2021. Wishing you joy and health wherever you are.
Prominently featured here is my multi-purpose bird stand doubling as paint can support and, as seen in this image, Coyote Peanut Dispenser. It serves each of these functions equally well with no required scheduled maintenance intervals. Pretty sure that our coyote doesn’t care about any of these features. And just to state the obvious here, these peanuts are not meant for him but really intended for the Blue Jays and Magpies. Crows, as well. I really should put up a sign on the stand so that I don’t have to explain this each and every time.
What is most impressive about this shot is something that can’t be seen but is a prominent part that allowed this shot to be taken. No, it’s not the extremely clean window glass although that is also a part of it. It is the fact that I was able to calm Misha (black dog) down enough to not scare the coyote away - they are extremely skittish even more so than the crows. So, yes, watching countless of the Dog Whisperer shows featuring Cesar Millan finally paid off. Thank you Cesar.
It’s obvious that this is a severe case of peanuts on the brain.
Still in disrepair since the earthquake of 1953; [that's just after 10 to 8 by my watch]. Although for sale, it has to be renovated in keeping with the original design, so you could buy it for peanuts and spend a fortune restoring it. It would however, make a nice holiday home on this lovely island.
We had reached the rural regional town of Kingaroy which is inland from the Gympie region of Queensland. It is surrounded by rich red volcanic soil and is famously known for growing peanuts, especially ground nuts. They may also grow some varieties of tree nuts and certainly many other forms of produce.
When in town, we always drop into the Peanut Van which sells an astonishing array different nuts and with additional flavours and coatings. If you are in Queensland heading north on the Bruce (Highway that is), there is also a Peanut Van in Childers not long before the Bundaberg turn-off.
