Day 163. Yes, it's weird I know.... I had a frightful realization about how many more ideas I need to come up with, so this was a moment of anything goes :-)

Every year nearly 46,000 people receive the devastating news that they have breast cancer. Dealing with this diagnosis can be a confusing, lonely and frightening time not only for the person diagnosed, but for their partner, family and friends.
Most of us have been, or will be affected by cancer at some time in our lives. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, please support this wonderful cause.
I think it would be fair to say that in the bird world, turkey vultures have big babies. This youngster has not left the nest or learned to fly yet. The entrance hole to its nest cavity is right in front of its head but hidden from our view by the trunk of that giant old bur oak tree. This fledgling turkey vulture is getting its first look at the outside world. I suppose it has a face that only its mother could love😍.
I think this will be the final shot from a string of photos captured in late November. I was on the road that day and stumbled upon this abandoned homestead. Looking back, I should have been more careful while wandering around, as it was hunting season in the Midwest. Luckily, no stray rounds that day.
Now, some people think the Bible is a book of rules, telling you what you should and shouldn’t do. The Bible certainly does have some rules in it. They show you how life works best. But the Bible isn’t mainly about you and what you should be doing. It’s about God and what he has done. Other people think the Bible is a book of heroes, showing you people you should copy. The Bible does have some heroes in it, but (as you’ll soon find out) most of the people in the Bible aren’t heroes at all. They make some big mistakes (sometimes on purpose), they get afraid and run away. At times, they’re downright mean. No, the Bible isn’t a book of rules, or a book of heroes. The Bible is most of all a Story. It’s an adventure story about a young Hero who comes from a far country to win back his lost treasure. It’s a love story about a brave Prince who leaves his palace, his throne–everything–to rescue the ones he loves. It’s like the most wonderful of fairy tales that has come true in real life! You see, the best thing about this Story is…it’s true. There are lots of stories in the Bible, but all the stories are telling one Big Story. The Story of how God loves His children and comes to rescue them. It takes the whole Bible to tell this Story. And at the center of the Story, there is a baby. Every story in the Bible whispers His name. He is like the missing piece in the puzzle-the piece that makes all the other pieces fit together, and suddenly you can see a beautiful picture. - Sally Lloyd-Jones
Well, I think we have a bit of a winner here! Taking a few tips and tricks from other photographers, I have a roll that I'm honestly happy with from the start. I shot these at ASA-3 and developed them in a cold mix of 1+1 Classic MQ for six minutes. Yes, there's still a base fog, and the negatives were thin, but they scanned in beautifully!

Now scrapped.
Probably a good candidate for a car that will genuinely vanish altogether, I don't think even the owners remember they own this model of car.
Think the Ocotillo was my favorite flowering plant that we saw. According to Wikipedia it isn't a true cactus, which leaves me wondering why it isn't. If anyone knows please let me know.
Think this is a four spotted chaser.
Many thanks to all who comment, fave or just enjoy looking, it really is very much appreciated!
I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.

And now something a little different.
I do not know terribly much about the Mouse Guards, one pictured here, I just think they look nice. I have seen Shelly post about them, I also know there was a movie in the works at some point but it ran into problems and I don’t think it’s on anymore.
I saw a Getcrazybricks Kickstarter thing about these a while ago and decided to support enough to get at least one figure just to see how they’re like. It arrived a few days ago and it looked great!
Due to the nature of these figures I went for exceptionally heavy editing with the colours. It’s a mouse with cape, shield and a sword, no need for strict realism here exactly.
This is obviously not an official Lego product but rather something that is compatible with the brick. Nevertheless, I'm treating it as Lego. It just shows how versatile the Danish toy is.
This little one keeps me on my toes more than any other. Quinn is starting to look more and more like a girl and more and more like a little person EVERY DAY!! It amazes me!
No confusion with this fashion from www.etsy.com/shop/TheConfusion83 (The Confusion 83 on Etsy). Repainted with hair added and styled by artist Noel Cruz this James Dean is ready to ride in style.

He wasn't sure about having his portrait taken, but after I showed him the shot on the back of the camera, he relaxed a little.....
Thanks for looking and / or commenting,
Best regards,
Phil.
Have a positive weekend, my dear friends ... may be it´s the last one for this year !

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you won't.
Success begins with your own will...
It's all in your state of mind.
Life's battles are not always won
By those who are stronger or faster;
Sooner or later the person who wins
Is the person who thinks he or she can
I think Phil gave me the idea for the title to this, just something he mentioned in conversation made it stick in my mind.
Was a great night seen as it was due to be cloudy. Drove to Phils, then went to some Locks and a Canal where we did this and some other star trails, then went to meet Jack and Arthur at a church where we continued the shoot inside and then I light painted the cow before returning home.
The Milkyway was very dominant in shot, that is very visible in centre frame, Phil did the lighting on the bridge then I did a classic silhouette spinner under the bridge.

Strangely pinkish Giant pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima). The thing made me strain my back Saturday when I wanted to lift it into a sunny position. I was told it weighted 36 kilo, but I was fool enough to still try and lift it by myself. Anyway, I did get my low angle shot lying down. It was the getting up part that proved too difficult.
I think Melbourne might be the only city in the world that has a public holiday for a horse race. Today is Melbourne Cup Day.
These three posters from My Head’s A Jungle that I photographed on Saturday pretty accurately sum up my feelings about horse racing.
Horses bred for racing have a specific purpose – to win and be profitable. This creates a conflicting interest with the horse’s welfare.
Some quick facts:
- On average, one horse is killed on Australian racetracks every 2.5 days from racing related injuries – and these are just the deaths we learn of. Plenty more happen in training and trials, or when injured horses are taken from the track to be later killed behind the scenes
- Over 10,000 horses vanish from the industry each year, most ending up in knackeries or slaughterhouses, known by the industry as ‘wastage’.
- Tongue ties, bits, spurs and whips are standard racing implements, causing horses to experience fear, pain and distress
- The majority of racehorses suffer bleeding in the lungs (EIPH), stomach ulcers and inflammatory airway disease
- Whilst in training, horses are kept confined to stalls for approximately 22 hours a day
In addition, I am sick and tired of the gambling advertisements that proliferate on the TV this time of year, gambling addictions ruin so many families, and I think gambling advertising should be banned completely.
Anyway, rant over.
