I got this roll developed for free because it took three trips to explain and re-explain the situation to the "technicians" at Wal Mart. They would say "okay, we'll do C-41 for you" and I'd come back hours later to get it and they'd hand it over "yeah, this is slide film." They got tired of me coming back over and over and refusing to let them not develop the roll they said they would.
Stranger I met as I was walking around my neighborhood. She and her friends had a sling shot and were trying to shoot crab apples at a no-parking sign. Since I was shooting slide film with the intent to cross process her hair stood out to me immediately. I asked if I could take her photo and she said "sure, why not!" I framed with too much headspace to compliment the jarring colour shift.
I could have taken a hundred pics of this thing and still not got it right. This year's trip saw me walking most dawns and most dusks with my camera. I really got into the swing of snapping the odds and sods that are littered around the village, butted up against the desert. The light is fabulous and the lines of the architecture serve as fine frames against which to compose. The possibilities left me holding onto 'maybes' rather than 'this one'. Still, do love this kind of place for fotography...
American Coot (Fulica americana) - Ritch Grissom Memorial Wetlands (Viera Wetlands), Melbourne, Florida
The cleverest thing about the American Coot are it's feet!
And (comparitively speaking) the only way that it could be considered clever in any other way would be if it had no feet.
But there is one thing that they are, and that is delicious!
(i.e. They're a great food source for larger predators such as gators, snappers and Eagles)
Those of you who are lookin' for gators should pay attention to Coot, because they will tell you if there are gators afoot.
Not by squawkin' or whispering in you're ear, but by how they pack into tight clusters (a.k.a. rafts), scurry from one raft to the other, and never sit alone in the water.
With herds of land animals that's probably a good strategy, and it's good to be in the center of the herd when lions are about, but with coot it only makes it that much easier for the gator to come up in the middle of a coot-wad with its mouth open and rely on probability for its diner. So for a coot, being on the inside of the pack or on the edge makes little difference, and their only hope is their numbers, and that the gator will eat one of its companions while it makes its escape (kinda like the old joke about out-running a bear).
This thing is a beast. I wasn't sure what to expect as I couldn't find any information anywhere about this thing. The few reviews on it were superficial, talking up the looks and the spec sheet, but no "field tested" reviews. I've got to say, I'm pretty impressed. It's tall. Tall enough that I can stand under the apex and have to stand on my toes before my head hits the counterweight hook (I'm 5'8"). Granted I knew that when I ordered the L (long) version, but it's hard to appreciate until you're standing under it. I can do pull ups from the apex of the tripod, and I weigh 180 lbs. Granted the tripod is only rated for 44lbs, but it's nice to know it can handle it. :) I only just got it yesterday, but so far I'm impressed.
Directed by John Carpenter
Starring Kurt Russell
Based on the 1938 John W. Campbell Jr. novella Who Goes There?
First thing to do with the new sewing machine was to sew a protective bag for it, so I don't need to keep it in the box it came in.
On the bottom, the original styrofoam that was on the bottom of the box. Underneath it all the manuals. Then the machine slotted in it's place, with the pedal and power lead tucked neatly with it. The bag was sewn with the fold on the bottom, the excess corners cut so that the bottom is actually square, and of the offcut corners I made a pin cushion I filled with some unspun wool.
The bag has a hole on the other side so that the machine can be carried from its own handle instead of using the bag. The hole is covered by the excess of the bag folding over it.

this is what i crocheted while esmond napped today. he is still napping so i have time to upload the picture as well. this is the second hexagon i crocheted. the first got wonky because i added an extra cluster somewhere in the middle and then got an extra long side...so i gave that one to esmond to play with.
This thing came as a courtesy from the company we by litter from.
I wonder who's designing these things?
