My Dad, bless his soul, actually watched roller derby on Sundays on WOR in New York when I was a kid. I always found it a fascinating part of his persona. Kansas City has this interesting fascination with roller derby and has an active group of teams and a vocal following. I have never been. I ask the Kansas city Roller Warriors marketing director -- Baby Buster 5000, a/k/a Rachel Herring if I could photograph the event and she graciously allowed me to be on the floor of the flat track as the ladies did their thing. Lighting was a challenge so I used an SB900 on the camera and let the TTL do its thing. Quite a lot of experimenting with ISO, speed, and aperture combinations. Unlike my Dad's roller derby, this was real, no fights, just spirited skating, jams, and a raucous crowd. It is a bit of a departure for me but it was both sport and competition and quite a fun evening. These are some of the skaters for the Dreadnought Dorothys.

India Tiger safari trip.
Our second park, Pench.
An impeccable place to walk down the memory lanes of your childhood days of the famous story ‘The Jungle Book’.
In the heart of India, Madhya Pradesh, Pench National Park is located in the districts of Seoni and Chhindwara. Named after the pristine River Pence which flows through the park, Pench National Park is one of the most popular wildlife reserves in India. The park also has its mention in the famous story of 1894, ‘The Jungle Book’, penned down by the renowned English Author Rudyard Kipling. The story was worldwide applauded, and hence, the national park became one of the popular national parks in the world in the 1970s and also a prominent tourist attraction in India. Since then, every year oodles of wildlife buffs flock to this place just to spot the famous characters of the book, Akela (The Indian Wolf), Raksha (the female Wolf), Baloo (Sloth Bear), and the vicious Shere Khan (Royal Bengal Tiger).
Sprawls over a massive area of 758 sq km, including the core area, Pench National Park has a rich wildlife which proffers visitors an opportunity to indulge into one of the finest wildlife experiences in India. Since its inception in 1965 as a wildlife sanctuary, the park has serving as the cosy nest of numerous wild creatures including the Royal Bengal tiger, jackal, peafowl, wild dog, wild boar, sloth bear, Indian leopard, fox, striped hyena, monkey, gaur, barking deer, four-horned antelope, Indian wolf, and more such enthralling species. However, later in the year 1975 and 1992, the sanctuary got the recognition of national park and tiger reserve, respectively.
The Indian roller (Coracias benghalensis) is a member of the roller family. It occurs widely from West Asia to the Indian Subcontinent.
It is best known for its aerobatic displays of males during the breeding season. It is often seen perched along roadside trees and wires and are commonly seen in open grassland and scrub forest habitats. The largest population occurs in India, and several states in India have chosen it as their state bird.
We were sitting in the grass when Rollers ( horse ) reached over my shoulder snooping for carrots as she was grazing, she hit my hand on the camera. Presto..picture taking horse. Almost deleted it, until I took a closer look. I like it.

There's a lot of hoarding goes on in my garage, none of it mine. However it has provided a subject for my photo for today. My OH's roller skates hanging by their laces from the beams, c1970's/early 1980's. The wheels have probably not turned for over 30 years, yet still they hang there!
Using this for photo No. 82 Nostalgia for the 115 Pictures in 2015 Challenge, and
