With their iridescent emerald feathers and sparkling rose-pink heads and throats, Anna's Hummingbirds are a striking jewel at the ponds.

I think I might like this one better in bw? yes?? no?? I had a hard time with the color on the other one...
... we took Minnie with us today. But, the weather just sucked...rain on top of rain!
We're all bummed. A deep, thoughtful girl, she has the sweetest face, I love
her little pixie nose...visiting Jillybug Manor...this is a custom by pariszhenpink!
I don't think I ever did blonde to the Faire before. On a whim, I just decided on a change from my usual auburn, and I did get some very positive personal comments.
I think she is a vixen and very beautiful. Do you agree? Watch the video and let me know please. She drives my camera wild. She seems to like the suet pellets
I think this might be a Muskrat although I can't say for sure that I've ever seen one before. This guy was munching on greenery in the reeds of a fresh water lagoon.
Does a vegan need such long and sharp claws? They're super alien looking.

Ai! Há tantos pensamentos que não dão mais resultado que um fole: ao inchar, aumentam o vazio.

Never did l think it would go this far, but from the bottom of my heart, THANKYOU! 🌸 I am truly flattered and touched!🌸
We are all here for each other with support and friendship and we should appreciate the freedom we have to live as we do. 💞🌸👗👠👠 So many girls never get to see beyond four walls, and l like to encourage as many as l can to open the door and step out.
Thankyou again for allowing me to 'BE'...... 💞💞💞👱♀️💋💋
DSCN2583, Image # I think. I lost it in the process of trying to fix this picture up. I am lost tonight, I guess. I wanted to crop it a tiny bit, which I did. I wanted to add a note on left side, that it is a Lightling that resembles a vertical Tuxedo Cat with a red backpack, On the lower right is a Lightling of only Santa Claus face, red & white Santa hat and big white beard, His right hand is in motion a bit with a red mitten on. His left hand doesn't show in this image, nor does his body.
I wanted to remove at least two tiny blemishes, maybe more, and could not figure out how to work my newest program.
I have some new programs and controls and I don't really know how to run/work them. I spent over an hour and 15 minutes on this, and almost gave up completely. I'm thinking perhaps I should have. Arrgh! Delina
I think Izzi's schtick is to pick the biggest guy - in the entertainment industry, this person is known as a "mark" - she can find (preferably wearing a kilt) and claim her as her "boyfriend" (regardless if the guy is with his girlfriend, fiancée, or wife).
In this case, the "mark" was actually named Mark and I think he stood about 6'8". I honestly don't think she expected him to stand up while she was sitting on his shoulders (under her dress). She had some great quips about the vibrations she got when he verbally agreed to questions ("Uh-huh") and laughter. She could really change the pitch and tone of her voice. Normal-speaking voice for when in character was quite high and very little girlish with a standard RenFaire accent (southern England) but she could bring it down an octave or two for saying things in an American accent like, "Oh... yeah... that's good!" especially when Mark spoke (he was a bass or a baritone). And he was a charcter. Izzi did say to Mark, "Don't try to be funnier than me." during the show.
I nearly laughed myself sick and am totally impressed with myself that I took some really good photos during and in-between my fits of laughter.

adieui, au revoir.....and just plain ol' bye

we'll see you later!" :)

I can't think why I ended up with a Cub on this duty. The Wroot services were an occasional extension of the regular 191 service, and usually a decker was rostered onto the duty since it was out all day on our core route.
New as WYPTE 1811, one of three acquired after Yorkshire Rider had a clear-out of oddball and expensive vehicles. This one still survives, with Altona Travel. Somebody should save it for preservation as a reminder of how high Optare's floors were before they dreamt up the Solo!
There wasn't sufficient space between the steering column and the engine cover to get your left foot in, but it was almost possible to be comfortable with your left leg laid along the top of the engine cover. This had the beneift of roasting your calf muscle while the Allison transmission whooped and gurgled underneath you. Fortunately the driver's signalling window was massive so you could just about get enough air not to die in the summer.
This like most will think can represet a struggle with weight and diet pills or weight loss due to an addiction with pills, but for me personally it's something else.
This is my struggle with a hard decision. I've recently been having some kinda major panic attacks due to stress. But I can make that all go away by just taking a pill a day. Sounds like a quick fix? It's not. Although the meds make me constantly vomit, it also makes me gain weight I'd rather keep off. I'm not sure why seeing as my caloric intake only reaches about 200 a day while on this but over the summer I managed to gain almost 15 pounds. And a lot of people find it hard to believe but I, just like any girl, am extremely insecure about these things.
So it was either intense insecurity or complete lack of any mental stability.
Sound like an easy choice?
It's not.
I still don't know my answer.
p.s. I do not nor have I ever had any type of eating disorder or EDNOS.

When Maggie posted a beautiful shot of lemon blossom it reminded me of the pomegranate blossom I had seen whilst on a wild orchid walk in Cyprus last year. It also reminded me that as a child we would be given half a pomegranate & a pin to pick out the fruit. It took ages & certainly kept us quiet. Maybe that's why they did it lol!
Thanks for spotting this in Explore Jacqui. #334 08/02/09
I think one of New Year's photography resolutions is to focus more on black and white photography. I'm thinking about a 52 week project where I post 1 black and white image a week.

Look and think before opening the shutter. The heart and mind are the true lens of the camera.

I've found shooting with film to be a very different experience than using a digital camera. While using my digital I usually like to work a subject from various distances and angles, shooting from all different perspectives to decide later which I prefer. Pressing the shutter on my Retina Reflex is an event. Each frame has value, or at least cost, and comes along with a build up of anticipation that lasts much longer than the split second it takes for a digital to spit out an image preview. In fact, I'm finding that a roll of film lasts me longer than I would like before I'm able to find enough quality subjects to fill it.
This image is from a test shoot with my donor camera. You can see the two missing leatherette pieces which cover the screws securing the front assembly.
Please take a look in Lightroom =)

I think I shoot this barn every time I go by it, but this time it felt like a B&W..............Sweet dreams!
Well we think it's Needle Ice, awaiting confirmation. It's another first for us which also means another tick off the lifetime bucket list. Found on the South Downs in West Sussex near a small stream which had overflowed and flooded the area, then it froze overnight, possibly over two nights or more given they all seem to look of being two tiered. This phenomena is known as Ice Segregation, when we found Frost Flowers back in 2017 in Decatur Alabama we made contact with Dr. Carter and he sent us this article which he had published a few years prior, it's probably the best explanation we've found for all the forms of Ice Segregation.

This little fella has taunted me & my camera for months now.
(Not that I've actually actively pursued photographing him all that much.)
He visits the red sage in our backyard at least twice a day, but most days when I run to fetch my camera, get it turned on & step out the door, ZOOM! off up into the sky he darts.
Last evening I saw some wonderful light on the trunk of our oleander in the backyard, so I grabbed the tripod, camera, etc. Those pics turned out most lackluster as the sun decided to hide behind cloud cover as soon as I was all set up. Figures!
So I moved over to the flower bed with the red sage, because my volunteer red zinnia is a family of five blossoms now. Well, guess who showed up! Yup, the elusive hummie. :) Naturally I couldn't get the tripod adjusted to catch him that way... In my excitement, I clumsily clanked the remote up against the tripod, startling hummie & the little pooh-head flew instantly off!
I had to go indoors for something else. So took the camera off of the tripod, went indoors to do my thing, then back outdoors & there s/he was again. So, I tip-toed as quietly as mouse to the center of the patio, focused, snapped, ...those were really too far away, but I thought -possibly- crop-able. Tip-toed closer, snap snap, closer, snap snap & then he finally flew off again. Then I sat myself down on the cottage stone wall around that flower bed & waited... the dude never returned, alas. But at least my stalking him/her yielded this one. :)
This isn't a wonderful noteworthy shot like Digital Gurl's or kwilliam's, but it's the best one I've managed so far, better than my first and second attempts, so I think anyway, even though there was really no decent sunlight to illuminate him like in my second.
These little birds are so doggone flighty & fast.
Larger, if you wish.
Had to post another Monty pic, to balance out the stranger pic!
