Peek-a-Boo - The cats of Bowers Beach. Very aware of my presence and watching my every move. Can you find them both? See more at RandyRobertsPhotography.com
14/365. Also, my first FGR for The View Through.
Who knows if I'll be able to keep up with all these, but hey, it's for fun, right?
So this is pretty simple, and unedited, but I kinda like it. More to the point, I'm learning how to use my brand-new, incredibly awesome, Canon 50D! I love this thing. It's named Faramir (my soon-to-be-horribly-neglected Rebel XT is Asimov) and it's my new baby.
Shot from the kitchen through the doorway to my parents' room. I'm back to having to use self-timer, as my remote only works for Asimov. First acquisition will be a spare 50D battery, though.
Despite the new, live-in model shown here & the acquisition of a very good tutorial book, I continue trying to get my head around both Lightroom CC & PS CC. My head hurts........!!! :)
I'm sure it will all be worthwhile in due course but patience was [is] never one of my strong points!
Onwards and upwards........ :)
The Queen's Guard is the name given to the contingent of infantry responsible for guarding Buckingham Palace and St. James's Palace (including Clarence House) in London. The guard is made up of a company of soldiers from a single regiment, which is split in two, providing a detachment for Buckingham Palace and a detachment for St James's Palace. Because the Sovereign's official residence is still St James's, the guard commander (called the 'Captain of the Guard') is based there, as are the regiment's colours. When the Sovereign is in residence, the Queen's Guard numbers three officers and 40 other ranks, with four sentries each posted at Buckingham Palace (on the forecourt) and St James's Palace (two at the main entrance in Pall Mall, two in Friary Court). This reduces to three officers and 31 ORs, with two sentries each when the Sovereign is not in residence[1]. The Queen's Guard is not purely ceremonial in nature. They provide sentries during the day and night, and during the latter hours they patrol the grounds of the Palace. Until 1959, the sentries at Buckingham Palace were stationed outside the fence. This stopped following an incident involving a female tourist and a Coldstream Guardsman — due to the continued pestering of tourists and sightseers, the guardsman kicked the tourist on the ankle as he marched. The tourist made a complaint to the police and, despite sympathy, the sentry was confined to barracks for ten days. Not long after, the sentries were moved inside the fence.[2] (wikipedia)

Peek-a-boo! I see you! The legs give away that this is a Hutton's Vireo, and not a Ruby-crowned Kinglet, even in poor shot like this one.
I just added a second RAID array (which I stacked on top of the first). Now it peeks at me over the edge of my desk.
I wanted to try something different and settled on the idea of a little guy peeking up from a hole in the ground. It's the first time I've done anything with hands, so they're a bit rough.
When I saw her eyes just above the screen and all the eyeglasses behind her I knew I had a good one. What do u think?
I have no idea what this little insect is, but he was well camoflaged and looks like he has a shell on his back. You can see his eyes peeking out at me.

This bird is sitting very still on her eggs…
