Sometimes the harvest and the tasting coincide. Is it a duty to fulfill, or a feast? Is it a working day or a barbecue?
Whatever froggy had planned for his day, it didn't include this.
Just a wild guess...
One funny thing about this shot is that it's actually a severe crop from the original. I was taking a shot of some wild horses grazing side by side with egrets when this tasty tableau happened.
I barely had time to recognize what was happening before ole froggy's new home was in this egret's tummy.
Glad I was able to get off a few shots! Yep, the ole reflexes aren't quite what they once were but heck they sufficed this time. :)
The other funny thing about this shot is that Flickr's auto tag system has deemed it "serene" !
Last week, the sky was alive with colors and clouds. As I was driving up North Flynn Road, this was the scene. I had to stop and get a picture of the Livermore, Dublin, Pleasanton Valley.
Fun Fact: The sky can turn a multitude of colors such as red, orange, purple and yellow due to light scattering effects.

Friday tastes like light atmospheres,
It tastes like good moments among people we love and care,
It tastes like refreshment and sweetness...
Wish you all relax and enjoy the weekend ahead the best way possible!

The older Bald Eagle has taken away this salmon from the juvenile to make sure it is a good salmon. It ate most of it before it gave it back.
(EXPLORE) OK.....so I added a dash more bokeh than what this picture started with. The few twinkles in the background inspired me to give this shot a bit more of a fantasy feeling.
I was out looking for deer yesterday on the trails not far from my house and was happy to find this young buck and one other young lady with him. The weather was a beautiful 70 degrees and I had a great afternoon enjoying the sunshine!

We had a bit of a bake-athon for a fund raising event recently. Hands up, I'm not the baker... My role is that of human guinea pig.
So when my wife asked me to try these little chaps, I was only too pleased to follow my orders... after I got the camera... tripod... strobe... reflector... props...

Hip Hop is an acquired taste. It's loud, it's abrasive and plenty times vulgar. Growing up in NYC surrounded by the ethnic working-class there was always new lingo to learn. When you're a 90's kid okay, you learn to deal with what the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air teaches you: phat, dope, wack... check, check and check! Fast forward to my late twenties and I'm a front end supervisor for that well known Arts & Crafts big-box store and most of my team are fluent in ebonics while I'm utterly left behind. They are dropping new words like 'lit' and 'fire' and 'ratchet' which for a long time I thought was wretched. So I would, in good faith, say things like "Oh, that is wretched!" -- One time I was in a convenience store with some friends and this short Latino with gold teeth, face tattoos and a heavy swag was bantering with his co-workers. He glanced at us once and sighed then saying, "Aight I'mma go make downstairs Gucci." And dear me, I didn't think to ask any of my friends what he meant but I dwelled on it for the rest of the day before the meaning finally dawned on me! GUCCI; like the opulent luxury brand. Downstairs was a mess and he was going to make it fancy and clean like the Gucci brand.
So back to Hip Hop. I started easy. I really liked Macklemore and Black Eyed Peas and eventually, Justin Bieber joined the genre. More Pop than Hip Hop but hey whatever, I got my foot through the door. Not bad for someone who once nervously handed a cashier my soon-to-be copy of Backstreet Boys Millenium; she easily sensed my fear as she smacked her lips then saying, "Not you too" as she rang me up. Yes, me too. I was a teen and a sucker for Pop music. I would have worn a ski mask to buy this album if I could, lady. My music taste is broad as I love everything! Mostly. Or at least I try to. My playlist goes from Post Malone to Bach. Music is very personal. I've met Rock & Rollers who would lynch you if you mentioned Nickelback. It's just the way the world works. Music is a part of our identities and sometimes one of the most relatable aspects of our humanity. And if we share that on a common level, it opens up an instantaneous connection paving the path to a meaningful relationship. That is until you fight over whether or not pineapples deserve to be on pizza's (They don't. Fight me.) It's 2020 and I find myself craving Hip Hop. It reminds me of NYC where part of me will forever be no matter where in the world I am. This year the word is WAP. If you don't know what it means by now, don't worry, someone will let you know but it won't be me!

I'm pretty sure this is "Chicken of the Woods" (Laetiporus sulphureus), a bracket fungus. There were three of these on one downed log, each more than a foot long. iNaturalist describes it as tasting like chicken or lobster; though edible, it should not be eaten raw.

The class of [July 24] 2008 - all of whom are far more experienced and knowledgeable than I am with respect to coffee. I posted a blog entry with my notes from the Trabant coffee tasting.
After swapping a unit out of their consist and building their train at the yard in Dubuque, IA, L565 blasts through the scenic suburbs of Rockdale. Originally I was going to be goobing in Iowa for the weekend with a few folks but a solid forecast of storms reduced the weekend to a few hours on this Friday evening. From what I experienced I will be back hopefully sooner than later.
