It was a very cloudy evening at sunset, but the sky gave me a quick peek of the beautiful sunset that was hidden by the cloud cover.
Here we have another one hot off the id-iom press. I’m trying to work out where our motivation for certain pieces comes from and to be honest i’m not entirely sure. Our muse doesn’t really give explanations as to why we should do what we do so we just try to get on with it. This one, quite obviously, is called Peek-A-Boo! and will hopefully be off to the framers soon.
Cheers

One of the red hens heard me enter the coop and has come to see what is happening. There might be treats.
Chickens are much, much smarter than we give them credit for. When you keep just a small flock you get to observe their behaviour. You recognize individual personalities within the context of their "chicken-ness". The hens are highly aware of their surroundings. They can figure things out. One will call out a warning to the rest of the hens if there is reason to be alarmed. They are inquisitive. They engage fully in their daily life. They experience pleasure and happiness and one can observe their "happiness" when they are given natural living conditions and are treated gently, with respect for their way of being in the world.
The way most chickens are raised and slaughtered is an abomination. Humanity is diminished when we treat other creatures so cavalierly, as if they were garbage. Just recently, there was film footage released at a Butterball turkey processing plant. The abuse was sickening. And how does the food industry answer? Lobby governments hard to make it a criminal offense to take and distribute footage showing what really goes on in feedlots, ILOs, CAFOs, and slaughterhouses. The food industry has been successful in getting many governments on board with this measure.

Last Saturday Andrea and I went to Sherwood Plantation to take some photos. It was a lot of fun and I think we got some pretty good shots. I posted a lot, because I rarely get to do this sort of thing, and I couldn't just pick a couple.
Andrea is the one who introduced me to Flickr, whether she knew it or not. ;-) She is a great photographer and has really been an inspiration to me. So I'm glad that we finally got the opportunity to hang out and do something we both really love. And since we both love cheeseburgers too... that's how we finished our day.
** I totally didn't realize that she was in my shot when I snapped this... which makes it one of my favorites!

I wasn't going to play in the FGR today, but Boone really wanted to. Playing with Boone helped ease my post-meeting tension too. Now it's off to bowling to take out some more aggression. One more day of meetings to go.
Yeah...he thought I wouldn't be able to see him under that clothes horse :-D

Molly decided she was too big now for her Peek-a-Blocks. Shame, as they were one of my favourite toys of hers!
At the end of Tjuvholmen in Oslo, with some stairs down to the water. I did skip some rocks because they we're all at the side.
Peek & Cloppenburg Flagship Store, Vienna, Austria
The new Peek & Cloppenburg flagship store will be located on Kärtner Strasse, between
Johannesgasse and Himmelpfortgasse, in Vienna’s historic centre, a district protected as a
UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The starting point for the design was the idea of a “building with windows” – a modern, abstract
interpretation of a classical building typology, which is not freestanding but part of the overriding
structure of the urban area. The building will assert itself as tectonically powerful, and
demonstrate a long-lasting and institutional character through the selection of its materials and
proportions, whilst remaining modest and above all becoming an integral part of the street
façade. The defining material for the façade is a light-coloured, finely pointed Danube Limestone
(Donaukalk) – a typical Viennese building material. The façade will be solidly built, corresponding
in its materiality and craftsmanship with the historic context.
The new building volume will close the urban block as a continuation of the neighbouring
buildings. In its rational structure the design ties in strongly with the tradition of late Viennese
department stores. The façade will subtly react to the structure of the neighbouring buildings.
The window proportions and the ratio between closed wall and openings will reflect the historic
neighbouring buildings. The otherwise recessed glass layer will be brought forward on the ground
floor, transforming the wall openings into display windows at street level. On the fourth floor, the
façade will open up to the city through a loggia.
The six sales levels will be accessed from the main entrance on Kärtner Strasse via a central
atrium, flooded by daylight. A translucent glass and bronze structure crowns the atrium in the
tradition of the large department stores of the 19
th
century, acting as a counterpoint to the sales
areas with its textile stock.

Our Daily Challenge - May 31, 2012 - "Peek-a-Boo"
Scavenge Challenge June 2012 - "8. Use an item with obvious fringe or tassels as part of a composition (main subject open)."
Well, weren't those two challenges just made for each other!
The boys really are pros at this. They dropped onto the big pillow as soon as I put it out. They chased after the cookies I tossed to get them back off again so I could spread the cream blanket on top. Then they dropped neatly into place once I was done. I draped the blanket over them, took a half dozen shots, and we were done.
I think they were bummed that it was over so soon, but I made it up to them by giving them the rest of the cookies in the ramekin anyway. A full shoots wages for two minutes of work. Sweet deal if you can get it. :)

One of a bachelor herd of Big Horn Rams that we ran into in Eastern Oregon. He was filing through a path across some rock outcrops and was playing peek-a-boo with the photographers below.
Here's a peek at another part. Now that you've seen this...more questions. Lighter or darker gray? Stripes or boxes for with the paper pieced bits?
