This mallard drake (Anas platyrhynchos) was having a right old green, repeatedly splashing himself; perhaps he is primping himself up to attract a female!

wish i could take credit for the adorable flowers on the other side of my head, but those darlings were a gift from the super kawaii giraffeandrabbit
Here's what men don't understand about women's fashion.
It's not about them.
In any way.
Shape. Or form.
And I say this with a terrific amount of certainty after a recent conversation with my beloved, who was under the mistaken impression that all of the primping and plucking and hoisting up meant otherwise.
"What's goin' on here?" he says, circling a finger in the air around my freshly bronze powdered face. "Is this because Matt's coming over?"
"No. It's because he's bringing his girlfriend."
(clearly)
(The End)
"What? Why?"
(again, clearly)
"Because women don't get dressed for men, honey. We get dressed for other women."
That's like...Chiquitas 101.
(Maybe 105.)
(101 might be that whole "Go ahead" really means "Don't you freakin' dare." thing)
And any woman who says differently is lying.
Or full of crap.
Or trying to make you think she's better than you because that's what you do which makes you feel like crap.
All of which circles back around to the fact that any woman's biggest challenge in her appearance is another woman.
"Are you serious?"
"Yes. All women do."
"All women do?"
"Of course. It's an adversarial thing."
I simply need to know that I look better than any other woman in the room when I arrive.
Or than any other woman who shows up while I'm there.
Or makes the scene after I leave.
"I don't get it."
Evidently.
"Look. Women size each other up. Hair. Make-up. Shoes. Jewelry. Cleavage. Bra straps. Back fat. Nail polish. All of it. All the time. It's exhausting, but it's what we do to make sure that we're always the winner."
"You do that?"
"Yes...and so does any woman in her right mind. Women are very competitive."
(even Ingrid Bergrman)
(which is why she gets on the plane at the end. Of the. Movie.)
"It's like men pissing on trees."
"That doesn't make any sense."
"Sure it does. You're my tree. And this lipstick is my....It's....how....It's just what we do. Okay? Adapt and accept."
"Whatever. Women are freaky."
I've never said otherwise.
The Great Egret. Notice the green on the face. This is a sign that it's breeding season. Usually this area is yellow.
Mr. Mallard waits anxiously while Mrs. Mallard primps in front of the plate glass reflection. Cornell Oaks office, May 1, 2008
Yeah, so that last photo wasn't too becoming. I felt the need to give you a shot that will at least have some clean hair in it. Okay, I didn't shoot it today, so I can't play by the rules! But I was a good sport!
I've been tagged twice today! OMG! hehehe

Silkstone Barbie is too haughty for a slumber party, so she'll spend the night primping in her little mirror.
I hate detailing. Shaving, Primping, push-ups, paint...
It takes a lot to extinguish my insecurities.
"Hows my make-up? my hair? What scent do I want to wear? I'm fat. I'm too thin. I know I shaved yesterday, but I should shave again...ugh, this looks like shit."
I feel gross 85% of the time, and decent the other 15%. I used to feel beautiful so easily...All I'd have to hear is the guy I loved say it to me...But I really don't take his complaments anymore. And Anything good I feel is from people I never see.
Yes, I'm the girl with several outfits thrown across the bed, looking for the right one, just to leave for an hour for nothing special...
Since I gave birth...or really since I started putting on pregnancy weight (in the end, it was 60 LBS!!!) I have been super, super insecure... and thats been over a year now. Even though I've lost over 40 lbs, I'm not Diamond anymore and I hate that.
Sometimes I have to take comfort in the fact that I'm young... so, no matter how unlike myself I may feel now, I still have time to get back there...where ever "there" may be.
I'm gonna be alright.

A young man adjusts his tie in front of an ornate mirror. He is dressed in formal attire, including a tuxedo with a white flower pinned to his lapel. In the foreground, there is a vase of yellow daffodils, a top hat, gloves, and a cane, suggesting a special occasion. What might that be?
Given the context of Easter and the formal attire, the young man could be preparing for:
1. Easter Parade: Easter parades were quite popular during that era, with people dressing up in their finest clothes to participate in or watch the parade.
2. A Ball: Easter-themed balls or formal gatherings might have been another occasion for such attire.
3. A Church Service: Easter is a significant religious holiday, and attending church in formal attire would be quite appropriate.
Each of these events would warrant such meticulous grooming and elegant clothing. The image captures a moment of preparation and attention to detail, reflecting the significance of the occasion.
J. C. Leyendecker created his first Saturday Evening Post cover for the May 20, 1899 issue. Over the course of his career, he produced 322 covers for the magazine. His final cover was published on Janurary 2, 1943. It's fascinating how he and Norman Rockwell, who created about the same number of covers, left such a significant mark on the magazine's history!

This is one of the local blue herons down at the DesMoines Washington marina. He was just sitting on this railing right in front of my parking spot. I was on my way to work and usually drive through the marina just to see if there's anything photo worthy. He was the subject of the day that morning.
It's a lazy Saturday morning. I woke up early because the dogs were demanding I take them for their walk. They are relentless. For our weekend morning walks, the dogs and I go down to the Des Moines creek trail which winds down through a beautiful green belt along side the creek. It's a great place for a morning walk. They're now laying by my desk on the floor, content and snoring. It's sixty five and over cast, perfect weather in my opinion after that heat wave we had. I should be working on something around here, ie. unfinished projects, but I'm not. I'm very skilled at that......(procrastinating), at my age I should be, and my wonderful wife is so very supportive. Just one of the many reasons why I love her so much.
Hope to all that it's a wonderful weekend for ya.
