Little Corellas are small white cockatoos. All corellas have pale bills, yellow-tinged underwings, and a small amount of red on their faces. They have a long-life span with some living up to 80 years old. Corella nest in a tree hollow, which they line with wood shavings. They live in large colonies and are very noisy, especially during the early morning or late evening. Multiple corella pairs will nest and roost in the same tree. They pair for life and prefer to return to the same nesting hollow.
I spotted this pair making their nest in a big old tree near our campsite.

Picture was shot at Thunderbird Lake. There was large flock of them in this area.

With all the excess rain we have had this year, the bugs are really bad. We have never seen so many black flies and mosquito's and the wildlife of course have no escape. This bear took some time out from eating wild blueberries to scratch some bites.

Cypress Peak.
Morning Light.
During the night we watched a couple of meteor showers - the Delta Aquarids & Capricornids. With just a crescent moon, the dark night shone brightly. I saw well over 30 streaks & fireballs!!
Using a freshly-downloaded Ap called Skyview Free we were able to identify many constellations and stars. Including one we thought might be a UFO, but turned out to be Vega.
I had bought a remote to aid in my first attempt at shooting star trails. But I stunk at it. Next time.
My lens cover was lost a couple of months back and I had just replaced it the day before. I guess somehow it fell off during the morning and voila, I discovered a couple of healthy-sized scratches on the glass of my best lens. Perhaps having all the gear freeze overnight had something to do with it. :(
Still, it was a lovely morning and we scrambled up to this summit before 7am to take in the fresh 360-degree views.
Mordançage on Ilford MGIV RC glossy.
Christina Z. Anderson's recipe.
Felt a little destructive tonight, and what's better than the Mordançage process?

I don't think I fully understood what this photograph meant to me until I spoke with a friend of mine a few weeks ago. I came to understand that we all have that way of interacting on the surface level where we say everything and do everything that we think will please people.
The trouble is that by living on the surface we cut off our ability to have a meaningful connection with someone because doing so exposes us to the risk of getting hurt.

Crazy day today... and my brain is not working right so everything's taken 4 times as long as normal.
BTW sorry to all whom i've just favored and run. Flickr is being a bit of a bugger at the moment and doesn't seem to want to save half of the comments that i make... even more annoying is the fact that you only find out that it won't save your comment AFTER you've typed it all. so for those i've not commented on, i've favored instead but the thought was there!

I found some of my old sticker books today. There were lots of well-loved scratch and sniff stickers on these two pages. Wish they all still smelled!
A visit to Farmoor Reservoir in mid August hoping to see a Kingfisher that had been reported at Shrike Meadow. After two and a half hours of waiting a Kingfisher turned up and spent 45 minutes catching 5 fish, 3 insects and spending time preening. Probably the best viewing i've had of a Kingfisher.

Scratching
Scratching, sometimes referred to as scrubbing, is a DJ and turntablist technique used to produce distinctive percussive or rhythmic sounds and sound effects by moving a vinyl record back and forth on a turntable while optionally manipulating the crossfader on a DJ mixer.
Most scratches are produced by rotating a vinyl record on a direct drive turntable rapidly back and forth with the hand with the stylus ("needle") in the record's groove. This produces the distinctive sound that has come to be one of the most recognizable features of hip hop music.
While scratching is most commonly associated with hip hop music, where it emerged in the mid-1970s, it has been used in the 1990s and 2000s in some styles of rap rock, rap metal and nu metal. Within hip hop culture, scratching is one of the measures of a DJ's skills. DJs compete in scratching competitions. At scratching competitions, DJs can use only scratch-oriented gear (turntables, DJ mixer, digital vinyl systems or vinyl records only). In recorded hip hop songs, scratched "hooks" often use portions of other songs.
The basic equipment setup for scratching includes two turntables and a DJ mixer, which is a small mixer that has a crossfader and cue buttons to allow the DJ to cue up new music in his/her headphones without the audience hearing. When scratching, this crossfader is utilized in conjunction with the scratching hand that is manipulating the record platter. The hand manipulating the crossfader is used to cut in and out of the record's sound.

This week's theme in the 7 days of shooting group is Onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia is all about words that sound like their meaning - e.g. splash, bang, rustle.
