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?

Anything for a peanut. A California scrub jay confronts the weird icy monster to grab the last peanut in the arctic.
We've been getting rain almost ever day (I sure hope our rainy season has started) and my Perennial Peanuts groundcover out front is just full of blooms. It has struggled on the sunny side of the ROW with the heat and drought. I'm thankful.
Another very typical stand in rural/semi urban streets in India. They keep the wood burning in the small pot (hence the smoke) to roast and keep peanuts hot. They are usually sold by a cup in the self-made cone-shaped out of old newspaper packets.

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:

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.
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.
It has been quite a while since we have seen a squirrel up on our deck. They have been playing in the trees and scrub oak but not venturing up so we can get a better view of them. Yesterday, this fellow decided the lure of peanuts was just too much to bear. It was actually quite humorous – the jays and even the magpies waited their turns, albeit impatiently, as this fellow satiated his appetite. They stormed in when he left, making sure they got their fair share (at least in their minds!).
Have a blessed day!
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!

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.

Coors beer mug is miniature, one and a half inches high. It's just for an idea that roasted peanuts might go well with some Coors.
looks like my Snoopy collection grew again. Actually I just moved several of my regular "use" cups to the collection because I had broken a couple and I didn't want to risk losing any more.
Boiled and salted peanuts is soft and even toothless grannies enjoy it. This delicacy of Tamil Nadu is very popular during the chariot festival
Essa é a minha coleção dos Peanuts, tão amada... Tá faltando um mundo de coisas... De lá pra cá ganhei mais presentes de amigas queridas (marcadores, chaveiros, camisetas) comprei livros, bonecos e coisa e tal.
Então, nada mais justo do que postar uma nova foto: A parte 2
Aguardem. Em breve!!!
