I borrowed these peeking posies from Christa and paperpieced them together. I like how you can cut away the paper around the flowers. It is a one-layered card but optical it has multiple layers!
A grizzly bear peeks out at the camera from a stand of tall sedge grasses with fall seed heads growing along a river bank. Bears are ominvores and in the spring, when they come out of hibernation, tender sedge grass shoots can be a large part of their diet, but in the fall in the Cariboo-Chilcotin region they gorge on salmon during the fall migration of the fish up the rivers.

Here's a close-up of the same Price Scanner & Service kiosk seen down the way in the previous photo. I realized I haven't gotten/posted a good, detailed shot of one of these before, so I wanted to be sure to do so this time around. Plus, this one was just begging to be photographed, with that old directory playing peek-a-boo with the camera!! As I mentioned before (feels like long ago now...), these original store maps were just covered over with the more modern-looking ones with the reset that moved and expanded the pantry department to this side (prior to PFresh, and since no remodel was involved, I'm also going to say prior to 2004). One of 'em was so camera-hungry it hitched a ride home with me ;)

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
Living Desert Zoo - Palm Desert, California - Male bobcat born in the wild on 5/10/02 and a resident of the Living Desert Zoo since February 2003.
This Blanding's Turtle swims near the glass wall of its aquarium, cheerfully welcoming the visitors to the Nature Center of the Kohler-Andrae State Park in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
Blanding's turtle are becoming fairly rare. The are quite timid and gentle, seldom attempting to bite. They can live to be 80 years old.
I'm happy with how the D600 handles the extremely high ISO of 25,600.
When I was at Windham Mountain a few weeks ago, there was snow all over the trees near the summit. I mean, on the bottom of branches and everything. I'd never seen snow completely cover trees like that. It was gorgeous.
Also, I'm looking to invest in a new lens (Canon). I'm thinking about either:
EF 24-105mm f/4L IS
EF 24-70mm f/2.8L
EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS
Anyone have any experience with those? Right now I'm leaning toward the EF-S one. I doubt I'll ever go full-frame. Anyway, let me know your thoughts!
Great Spotted Woodpecker ( Dendrocopos major )
--
Mesuring 23–26 centimetres long, with striking black-and-white markings.
Males have a crimson spot on the nape, which is absent in females.
They have a very distinctive bouncing flight and spends most of its time clinging to tree trunks and branches, often trying to hide on the side away from the observer.

So apparently there's a huge storm that's going to demolish all of the East Coast and we're all going to die a terrible death.
Also don't drink Irish Coffee at midnight because a) people will quote everything you say ever and b) you will not sleep at all.

Not a lot of time at the moment….will post and visit when time allows. I'm at Instagram more than I'm here!
Cause of the strong winds it took a little while before this Kestrel noticed me taking pictures. A quick peek towards my direction. Didn't bothered her though...
Peek-a-boo! Twin calf update...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This sweet boy named Andy, just wasn't getting the attention he needed from his momma. It most likely would have turned out fine if we could have corralled them up and kept them in close quarters for a week, but it's just too muddy out there right now. So we decided to take Andy away from his mom and twin sister, Annie, so he can live a good life. Instead of taking on bottle-fed calves this year (which I still love doing), we've decided to give any calf that needs to be bottle-fed to a neighbor farmer that also has fairy cows with dairy cow milk besides milk replacer. They have kids and they are into 4-H and spoiling animals. We brought him there yesterday and he has 3 other calves to play with and learn from. After seeing how the other ones acted more like dogs than cows wanting affection and rubs, I know he'll be well taken care of.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Although not the ideal situation, it's still a happy ending for little Andy. Not all calves are able to be lucky like this, but that's why we constantly check the now 100+ calves that have been born so far. Still a ways to go before calving season is over for us...then it will be hay season! Anyone else about out of hay?
Construction, Week 56
Since I was poking around, I decided I might as well go right up to the store and take a peek inside: after all, other people have already been inside training, so why can’t I at least walk on the sidewalk? I took this pic looking in the café window, and with it we can finally say with absolute certainty that this store has the same Marketplace décor package we were expecting (see Meat & Seafood sign, left background). Also, hopefully those are just spotlights above the “beverages” sign, and not security cameras pointing straight at me XD

This will more then likely be my last sunrise image posted for a bit, I got a tun of them, but I really do not want them flooding my photo stream, I look forward to getting to the beach soon! So that I can post those! Any way, over the past few sun rises, I have noticed something, that when the sun does finally peek over the mountains, it gets bright, QUICK! And those first few images are unusable because it makes the foreground blacked out! Except yesterday morning, the fog was dense enough to mute the power of the sun. So, I was able to get a more perfect image on the sun its self. Any way, perfect is such a relative and subjective word. So, perhaps perfect would not be the right word, but hey, I happened to like this any way. This image is a great display on what I meant by areas of dense fog where it became at times unuseable. But I managed to make this one work, all the images around it were not work able. Perhaps the high ISO had a help in this and the "snake" in my back yard the day before because useful after all? Who knows, All I know is that I need many more sunrises to prefect the talent that so many of my flickr friends already have! And that is why I bother with the 365, by years end, I want to be able to know my camera in and out so that guessing is no longer the name of the game! :)
Please, do enjoy!
For this image, I believe the only filter I used was the Cokin soft grad, for the sake of the sun.
A curious fox pup peeking out from behind a rock to check me out while i took a few photos.
His borthers and sisters had already ran off but they didn't go to far before curiosity got the best and they came back to see what I was up to.
I was delighted to see that Hero Arts re-released this set. I'm so glad i kept my origanl set. This box set was also my first ever Hero Arts purchase :D
Who can tell me why this reminds of the 60s? A TV show, an album cover--I can't put my finger on it. :D

Last day in the old apartment. He always peeked at me like that from the balcony, had to take the picture for postarity.
"There are places I’ll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I’ve loved them all"
