Freshman are required to take a couple of semesters of “PE”. Pam (Spouse) took bowling at same place quite a while back. She actually became pretty good.
For the time of year rather active thunderstorms just off shore over the North Sea.
This traveling lightning bolt is some 30-40 miles away from my location, so I had to use a short telephoto lens to capture the bolts.
Actively drilling holes.
This Downy Woodpecker was very actively drilling holes in this rotten branch at John Heinz. The wood chips flying everywhere can be seen in the photograph

Black-capped Chickadee (Poecile atricapillus)
“A bird almost universally considered “cute” thanks to its oversized round head, tiny body, and curiosity about everything, including humans…. Chickadees may be found in any habitat that has trees or woody shrubs, from forests and woodlots to residential neighborhoods and parks, and sometimes weedy fields and cattail marshes. They frequently nest in birch or alder trees…. Chickadees are active, acrobatic, curious, social birds that live in flocks, often associating with woodpeckers, nuthatches, warblers, vireos, and other small woodland species. They feed on insects and seeds, but seldom perch within several feet of one another while taking food or eating. Flocks have many calls with specific meanings, and they may contain some of the characteristics of human language….. Most birds that associate with chickadee flocks respond to chickadee alarm calls, even when their own species doesn’t have a similar alarm call.”

Hello Everyone and happy Sunday and Memorial day eve. :)
I wanted to take a moment and give a huge hug and kiss to all our active Military, Veterans, Police Officers and Firemen. Thank you for all you do each and everyday, protecting us and helping in the time of need, you are very much appreciated and cherished and wish you all the happiness and joy in your and your families lives. :)
I was laying on my sofa this morning browsing Amazon and other sites on my tablet looking at clothes and some other items, that I needed to purchase, tapping the "Add Item" while still in my pajamas and sipping coffee, when it came to me, this was wonderful to be able to do this, but also very depressing, being locked away like a prisoner in Alcatraz for the third month it seems and having no real human contact except at the office and when I go to the market.While in the veggie section , in my mind i was begging someone to come up and squeeze my ass! LOL. Just some form of human contact. It made me remember before the internet really became a thing in the late nineties and when there was shopping to be done, I remember my Mother and my Aunt would dress up on a Saturday morning their hair all done, makeup and heels, driving into the city to meet friends for a luncheon and then some shopping. My sister and i had no real idea of this when we were very small children, we just would sit on the bed and watch our Mother dress and ready herself, give us a kiss and tell us to behave and listen to our Father and she would see us later that afternoon. That happened once or twice a month and she would come home with a shopping bag or two. It was when my sister and I became older that she and my Aunt on occasion brought us along on their afternoon Saturday shopping excursion and to experience what shopping was. In the nineties and early 2000's shopping was an experience, having a luncheon in a nice restaurant, going through a store that was five floors, being able to touch and feel clothes, trying them on and seeing things and picking them up in your hands and feeling the quality. It was not about the buying, we were not a rich family and could have whatever we wanted, our Father would kill us and then send us off to boarding school. No, it was about having the experience and being out where people were and where energy was. Being all dressed up and close with family and friends, it was that human contact and communication that made it so special and meaningful, even with something so superficial as "Shopping" because that was not what it was really about, it was about being part of a small tribe, the women coming together to talk and share, to gossip, laugh and connect with one another. That is what I miss today and what I believe is hurting us as a society in part,
as more and more of us shop online and less going to an actual department store. When we order food delivered to us and go less and less to the restaurants, when theaters of plays and dances stop and events become cancelled, I am very fearful that we will loose what society we have left, we need that human contact, we need our tribe, we need that community of being together in the same boat and taking care of one another, but if we forget to even know how to talk with one another, how will we remember how to trust and love one another. After laying there on the sofa for a long while thinking about this and wonderful memories, I determined myself to have hope and have decided to actually dress up and go to an open store next weekend and do some shopping and sit in a cafe and have some lunch and to talk to a stranger and hopefully bring a smile to their day. :)
I suggest we all do that this week and weekend, put the phones and computers away at least once this week and actually communicate with another human being face to face. reminding ourselves we are all of the same tribe and we need and have love for one another. :)
Have a wonderful Memorial Day
tomorrow and thank you for allowing me to share my photo with you, I forgot to talk about it, it is my favorite black latex power suit outfits with large hat and my purse, all ready to hit the sales and then pounce my SL friends afterwards. I hope you enjoy!
xoxo,

Hverir è una delle zone geotermali più attive di tutta l'islanda. Conosciuta anche come Hverarönd, la regione è famosa per il colore ocra dei suoi paesaggi e, principalmente, per le numerose fumarole e le pozze di fango bollente che si distribuiscono lungo tutta la sua superficie.
La vegetazione è inesistente: il calore della terra, l’acidità nel suolo e i fumi velenosi rendono pressoché impossibile la vita.

Vegetation is non-existent: the heat of the earth, the acidity in the soil and the poisonous fumes make life almost impossible.

Whitehorse is some kind of evil cloud magnet whenever the Aurora's active, but sometimes the peachy electroglow of civilization adds a pleasing contrast, if it's far away enough.
Active Assignment Weekly: Look Down
This is my bathroom rug from a looking-down perspective. I added a strong vignette and thought it looked better in black and white.

Strong currents rip through this narrow passage making pleasure boating very challenging. Also the Ferries use this pass so watch out!
A nature walk was cut short by the neverending stream of thunderstorms. Going in danger's way can provide some good photo opportunities however. We left before the lightning came very close

Notes: Henry Maull (1829–1914) was a British photographer who specialised in portraits of noted individuals. Maull was born in Clerkenwell as the son of a tradesman.[1] He married Eliza (b Islington 1831) and became a member of the Royal Photographic Society in 1870. Maull formed several partnerships during his career:
1856 - 8 March 1865: Maull & Polyblank[3][4] in partnership with George Henry Polyblank. Other sources say it was established in 1854.
1866-1872: Maull, Henry & Co
1873-1878: Maull & Co
1879-1885: Maull & Fox, in partnership with John Fox (1832 - 1907). The studio continued under the original name by others and moved to 200 Gray's Inn Road. It was officially closed on 26 October 1928 and the final creditors' meeting was held on 30 November 1928. The firm was taken over by the Graphic Photo Union, which in turn was taken over by Kemsley Newspapers. Maull operated studios at the following locations:
62 Cheapside, City of London March 1865 - 1871.
Tavistock House, 252 Fulham Road, Chelsea March 1865 - 1869.
187a Piccadilly, Westminster March 1865 - 1871.

Another one from the bus window. The village well, a very active place.
After the visit to the Valley of Kings, you get in a bus and travel a few miles over to the Alabaster Village where you can spend some time shopping for Alabaster Vases and stuff.
Most historic landmark visits are followed up with a shopping stop for one of the local area specialties. Alabaster here, papyrus prints there, perfumed oils at the next place and carpet shop tours here and there. You can purchase a carpet after the tour and have it shipped home.
I often wonder how these tourist villages along the historic routes are doing these days after the changes the last few years.
Captured in Feb. 2006, with the old Panasonic FZ20 edited on the desktop in Photoshop, and also using the Viveza and Alien Skin plugins. Used the Kodachrome II film with some fine tuning to the default settings. It took a good deal of work to make this image acceptable.
That camera did not like the Egyptian landscapes. I think it had something to do with the amount of sand particles in the air while we were visiting. There were a number of sandstorms at the time of our visit.
