Uncovered in the scrapyard... a Smooth Newt. At first I thought that it was a Common Lizard but, I since discovered that the Lizard has 5 toes.

I'll admit it, I love musicals. Sure they may be formulaic, but then again, so many films are. Tonight I watched Anchors Aweigh with Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, and Kathryn Grayson. Most people would remember this film from the scene where Gene Kelly dances with Jerry Mouse (as in Tom and Jerry). It's not one of my favourite musicals, but considering there was no one around to make fun of me watching it, I enjoyed it.
There's something about older films (this one is from 1945) that appeals to me. Perhaps it's the saturation of colour or with musicals in particular the campiness of it all. I just like the lighting, the richness of it all. But that's almost any film. I suppose it's just because I'm a visual person. I've seen this film before a few times, so this evening I just took shots of my computer screen throughout the show. Not quite like being a stills photographer, but as close as I could get from the comfort of my own couch. It was an interesting exercise for me. I'm always trying to come up with different ways to introduce a narrative element into some of my portraits... looking at film as a series of stills was thought provoking. Someone get me the new 5D so I can make a little foray into video.

I photographed this strange yet beautiful member of the mustard family in a high quality xeric sandhill in the Big Thicket.
Streptanthus hyacinthoides was one of my 2017 biodiversity goals. To read more about these goals and my pursuit of this species check out my blog by clicking here.

While waiting for a ride on the Peak Tram this office block caught my eye. The smooth edges and rounded windows make it pleasing on the eye.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smooth-billed_Ani
The Smooth-billed Ani (Crotophaga ani) is a large near passerine bird in the cuckoo family. It is a resident breeding species from southern Florida, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, parts of Central America, south to western Ecuador, Brazil, and northern Argentina.
This ani is found in open and semi-open country and areas under cultivation. The nest, built communally by several pairs, is a deep cup lined with leaves and placed usually 2–6 m (6.6–20 ft) high in a tree. A number of females lay their chalky blue eggs in the nest and then share incubation and feeding.
Each female is capable of laying up to seven eggs, and nests have been found containing up to 29 eggs, but it is rare for more than ten to hatch. Incubation is 13–15 days, with another 10 days to fledging. Up to three broods may be raised in a season, with the young of earlier broods helping to feed more recent chicks.

The Smooth-billed Ani is a mid-sized species, larger on average than the Groove-billed Ani but smaller than the Greater Ani. It measures 30–36 cm (12–14 in) in length and weighs 71–133 g (2.5–4.7 oz).[2][3] The adult is mainly flat black, with a long tail, deep ridged black bill and a brown iris. The flight is weak and wobbly, but the bird runs well and usually feeds on the ground.
This is a very gregarious species, always found in noisy groups. The calls include a whining ooo-leeek. The Smooth-billed Ani feeds on termites, large insects and even lizards and frogs. They will occasionally remove ticks and other parasites from grazing animals.
This common and conspicuous species has greatly benefited from deforestation.
This species is called "el pijul" in Venezuelan folklore. It is mentioned in the popular Veracruz song "El Pijul".
reflecting the house, in my backyard. Due to its smooth, shiny, sexy rocked top, the table is totally dysfunctional. Probably why it's outside in the rain and wind.
