Thie male dark-eyed junco stood on one leg for an unusually long time. It occurred to me that I have a hard time balancing on two at my age. LOL.
"Today I don’t feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don’t feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything"

The one thing I was able to do on this vacation work trip to Italy was relax a little. It’s not really something I’m good at, especially when off somewhere exotic and different. But I did lay out by my hotel’s pool a few times, just to soak it all in.
I’m in training all of this and next week so I only have my lunch hour to post and run. Sorry I’m not hitting your photos as much as I’d like, but you know I will soon. I love you all.
A shot I seen by a friend a while back inspired me to try it myself, need a bigger clock face but turned out ok for a tester
Ponderosa pines, high elevation meadows, and fir-spruce forests border the rim of the plateau and abound with wildlife. This area boasts some of the world's best air quality, offering panoramic views of three states and approaching 200 miles of visibility.
Like a chronological process or like a development In front an elderly farmer, who checks each of his plants individually and has to bend down. The smoking chimneys behind it represent the industrial age. And in the far distance, in the middle of the picture, you can see parts of the skyline of Frankfurt am Main. The headquarters of the financial sector. (The background is formed by the elevations of the Taunus (low mountain range)).
Visited Damnoen Saduk floating market while in Thailand last week. If you manage to see beyond the standard tourist trap this is, it can be quite interesting. I enjoyed the visit.
The local coffee was great.
have a great weekend

Sea lions are pinnipeds characterized by external ear flaps, long foreflippers, the ability to walk on all fours, short, thick hair, and a big chest and belly. Together with the fur seals, they comprise the family Otariidae, eared seals, which contains six extant and one extinct species (the Japanese sea lion) in five genera. Their range extends from the subarctic to tropical waters of the global ocean in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, with the notable exception of the northern Atlantic Ocean. They have an average lifespan of 20–30 years. A male California sea lion weighs on average about 300 kg (660 lb) and is about 2.4 m (8 ft) long, while the female sea lion weighs 100 kg (220 lb) and is 1.8 m (6 ft) long. The largest sea lion is Steller's sea lion, which can weigh 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) and grow to a length of 3.0 m (10 ft). Sea lions consume large quantities of food at a time and are known to eat about 5–8% of their body weight (about 6.8–15.9 kg (15–35 lb)) at a single feeding. Sea lions can move around 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph) in water and at their fastest they can reach a speed of about 30 knots (56 km/h; 35 mph). Three species, the Australian sea lion, the Galápagos sea lion and the New Zealand sea lion, are listed as endangered. 61535
What a wonderful time we had at the Grand Canyon. Even though we were only there for 2 days and endured rain, hail and a total cloud inversion, it was still amazing.
It's getting to be that time here in Minnesota , when a lot of of waterfowl visit lakes and ponds to rest and fatten up for their long migratory journey.
And we have a lot of Canada geese in the park. They're migrating south at the moment and we do hear them when they fly over the house occasionally. It's kind of come to symbolize the mournful sound of winter's ushering in to me. Kind of bittersweet sound.

don't know how it's possible but as I recall I had a pack of TZ with an exp date of 1981 I transferred to a newer cartridge with good batteris and actually got a series of images. I wouldn't buy any film older than '05 now...if at all since the Ebay prices are crazy.
Time-Life Building
541 North Fairbanks
Chicago, IL
Harry Weese, arch. 1969
Even as a kid I always really liked this one. Back then it was probably more due to the copper-colored windows than anything else, but perhaps because it also looked so complete.
Weese did a great job of achieving clarity in his structures and this is no exception. Base, shaft, capital. On the ground floor he managed to include a colonnade on three sides, surrounding a a sculptural foyer on several levels. The different foyer-levels were employed as to offer access to the double-deck elevator-entrances.
I've been trying to find a section through the facade in order to understand the reveals above the windows, but have so far been unsuccessful. At any rate, it is a very nice detail which brings a lot of depth to the facade.
The rest of the building is clad in cor-ten steel, which has weathered very well and goes exceptionally well with the windows.
Otranto - Apulia - Italy.
Otranto (Italian pronunciation: [ˈɔːtranto]) (Salentino: Uṭṛàntu; Griko: Δερεντό, translit. Derentò; Ancient Greek: Ὑδροῦς, translit. Hudroûs; Latin: Hydruntum) is a town and comune in the province of Lecce (Apulia, Italy), in a fertile region once famous for its breed of horses.
It is located on the east coast of the Salento peninsula. The Strait of Otranto, to which the city gives its name, connects the Adriatic Sea with the Ionian Sea and separates Italy from Albania. The harbour is small and has little trade.
The lighthouse Faro della Palascìa, at approximately 5 kilometres (3 miles) southeast of Otranto, marks the most easterly point of the Italian mainland.
About 50 kilometres (31 mi) south lies the promontory of Santa Maria di Leuca (so called since ancient times from its white cliffs, leukos being Greek for white), the southeastern extremity of Italy, the ancient Promontorium lapygium or Sallentinum. The district between this promontory and Otranto is thickly populated and very fertile.
Otranto main sights include:
- The Castello Aragonese (Castle), reinforced by Emperor Frederick II and rebuilt by Alphonso II of Naples in 1485–98. It has an irregular plan with five sides, with a moat running along the entire perimeter. In origin it had a single entrance, reachable through a draw-bridge. Towers include three cylindrical ones and a bastion called Punta di Diamante ("Diamond's Head"). The entrance sports the coat of arms of Emperor Charles V.
- The Cathedral, consecrated in 1088, a work of Count Roger I adorned later (about 1163), by Bishop Jonathas, with a mosaic floor; it has a rose window and side portal of 1481. The interior, a basilica with nave and two aisles, contains columns said to come from a temple of Minerva and a fine mosaic pavement of 1166, with interesting representations of the months, Old Testament subjects and others. Bones and relics of the Martyrs of Otranto, who perished in the 15th-century siege surround the high altar. The church has a crypt supported by 42 marble columns. The same Count Roger also founded a Basilian monastery here, which, under Abbot Nicetas, became a place of study; its library was nearly all bought by Bessarion.
- The church of San Pietro, with Byzantine frescoes.
- The catacombs of Torre Pinta.
- Idro, a small river which the toponym Otranto stems from.
