Another landscape from the Biltmore in NC. I loved these sunflower fields! I'm doing some more experimenting with texture - I'm amazed at what some of the flickr folks can do with texture! Maybe someday I'll know what the heck I'm doing...

The Highland cattle registry (herd book) was established in 1885. Although groups of cattle are generally called herds, a group of Highlands is known as a fold. They were also known as kyloes in Scots.

7 Days of Shooting – Week #17 (w/b 30 October) Iconic Brands - We probably all own something that bears a famous brand or indeed eaten or had coffee in a well known branded coffee shop or restaurant. So, let’s see how many we can gather this week ….. I guess, Coca Cola, Starbucks, Apple, Microsoft, Nike and the like will be on display but don’t forget those famous brands in your food cupboards!

Also known as the Magpie-Lark which is quite misleading, as the species has no link with either the magpies or the larks. However, the Magpie-lark is sometimes confused with the Australian Magpie, Gymnorhina tibicen. While both species are black and white, the Magpie-lark is noticeably smaller than the Australian Magpie.

Happy Texture Tuesday with the use of Kim Klassen's latest new texture called "Dream." I think some dolls speak and listen, like this ballerina doll.

It's dried orange slices and a dried lemon!! They are sprinkled with a lovely smelly spice and along with some other fruit, sit in a bowl ... something like a potpourri.

7DOS - There's that sand texture again.

There are 2 types of white pointer in Australia.

The great white shark also known as a white pointer, is arguably the world's largest known extant macropredatory fish and is known to prey upon a variety of other marine animals including fish, pinnipeds, and seabirds, and is ranked first in a list of number of recorded attacks on humans.

On the PLUS side, humans are not appropriate prey because shark's digestion is too slow to cope with the human's high ratio of bone to muscle and fat.

Accordingly, in most recorded attacks, great whites broke off contact after the first bite. Fatalities are usually caused by blood loss from the initial limb injury rather than from critical organ loss or from whole consumption.

My state, Queensland has the unenviable record for the highest number of recorded shark attacks with a total of 301, 89 fatal,186 injured and 26 no injuries. Oh joy.

The other type of white pointer is a lot more common, and while it is not normally lethal, there may be serious repercussions if it is unexpectardly encountered in the wild.

WARNING - If you are easily disturbed by the condition of wildlife stranded on rocks, do NOT look at the shot below of the other type of white pointer. You have been warned.

A day at the BEACH :-)

7 Days of Shooting/Week #5/Outdoor Eating/Texture Tuesday

If on I could feel the sun on my face...................

Week #6 (w/b 16 August) If Only - this is going to be a great week of interpretation! What would happen “if only” such and such had happened or taken place? If only you had turned the oven on or worse turned it off!! If only you had won the Lottery or what about all that chocolate, if only you had eaten that without having to share!! A week of interpretation the good and maybe the not so good of those “if only” moments … but whatever have lots of fun!!
