The adjective that best describes Kakashi is adventurous. We have been taking walks ever since he was a kitten and he is now 15 years old. Each day brings new adventures and Kakashi loves to be outside exploring the woods with me. We often go for walks over a mile, crossing streams in the process. He has such a bold adventurous spirit.

...wonky
adjective, informal
not straight; crooked or askew.
"you have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth, other than that you're gorgeous"
Sadler Gate eaterie, which I'm informed is pretty good.
Inquisitive: adjective
"having or showing an interest in learning things; curious."
This gull seemed the one most interested in me. As I aimed my lens at it, the head tilted slightly to one side as it looked me right in the eye.
Some adjectives that don't usually come to mind when describing the elk rut. Peaceful, gentle, placid, tender, mellow.
But occasionally, something that resembles tenderness and gentleness occurs. A cow elk will approach a bull and gently rub her head against his. I think the real purpose of this is related the pheromones released from the preorbital glands near the bull's eye. Rubbing their faces together likely enhances attraction/sexual receptiveness.
If you get a chance, enlarge this one and take a close look at the bull's right antler. Eight points...not something I see very often. His left one is a more typical six points. As for his body mass, he's pretty much peaked. A month or so after this was taken, his antlers will still be impressive, but his body will be considerably smaller. The strenuous nature of the rut will cause him to lose as much as 20% of his body weight.
Nonchalant: adjective
"(of a person or manner) feeling or appearing casually calm and relaxed; not displaying anxiety, interest, or enthusiasm."
I liked both these gulls and they certainly did not mind me photographing them. But I particularly admired the way this gull carried itself. Completely self-assured and uncaring of what anyone thought of it. Prince of its own domain. I like that.
This tree was tiny compared to others in the area, but it was well ahead of its neighbors in terms of early autumn color, and it seemed to be transitioning from the top down. I photographed it using the Pep Ventosa technique. The method involves walking around a subject while taking multiple shots along the way, then merging those photos together in post processing. This image was made using 11 of the 13 photos that I shot, with additional processing using various Topaz filters.

Macro Mondays: Vowel.
Vowel adjectives: 'A'fter 'E'ight, Chocolate.
A shot I've actually been thinking about for a long time, and Macro Mondays gave me the perfect excuse to carve out some time and give it a whirl...
I've uploaded it a bit early to make sure the quality would transfer well to Flickr. I've been having to troubleshoot some hick-ups in my photo processing/computer program. Photos, once tweaked, have a ~50/50 % tendency to look washed out on my desktop and Flickr. Not sure what exactly is going on. If anyone has some ideas, I'd appreciate feedback. Thankfully, it worked properly today!
(Frame from just outside the watch face to just outside the tip of the chocolate with a little bit of leeway, is 3").

seclusive (adjective)- preferring to be alone, away from other people
Welcome to my little corner of the web!
My name is Molly, and I live near Lake Michigan in Wisconsin with my husband, Mike, and our four rescue cats—Floki, Ivar, Torvi, and Olaf—along with the spirits of several other cats and dogs we’ve loved and lost.
I chose Seclusive Nature as my handle because Mike and I are very introverted and feel most at peace in solitude—whether we’re at home or in the wild.
Mike and I both have wanderlust in our veins and love to explore. We’re also huge fans of all animals, which is the main reason we went vegan in 2006. Our vegan journey has been an adventure of its own, and we’ve enjoyed it tremendously!
I’m an avid reader, a bit of a notebook and bandana junkie, and a fervent nature lover. I’m also quite fond of street art and a firm believer in embracing your wild.
Flickr is the only platform I’m active on. I use it as a creative outlet, a visual journal, a microblog, and a way to organize my photos and videos. While I’m not here for the social aspects, I hope my posts bring some joy to others.
You can find more posts that have a bit about me here- www.flickr.com/photos/seclusivenature/albums/721777203195...

Xeric - adjective; (of an environment or habitat) containing little moisture; very dry.
I tried many shots of this wall, but I never got the effect I was hoping for....it just wasn't meant to be.
Drab, an adjective that would be used to appropriately describe the weather conditions throughout the preceding days here in Minnesota. Still though with plenty of good photographs bagged from the weekend goings on and stomachs full from several dozen Kwik Trip "Glazers, our trip was just about complete as we pointed the car southward for home. A final, quick drive by of CN's Proctor Yard facilities on our way out of town yielded a road crew ascending the steps aboard DM&IR "Tunnel Motor" No. 405 assuming the foremost position on an outbound train staged for a run up to the mines. Figuring it wouldn't take them long to leave, this prized target made the decision easy to go ahead wait around for there departure and within minutes, RTC Homewood lit them up with lights out of town, making for an exit that coincided perfectly with sun finally appearing through the retreating front of rain clouds. Truly a Missabe Miracle. Here, the old maroon and yellow, and two other Range regulars, stare down low-lying sunlight as they hustle north through Saginaw, surrounded in autumn's fiery splendor, with train U71681 03 and its trailing 141 empty ore jennies for the mine and processing plant at Cleveland-Cliffs' United Taconite facility near Eveleth.

Elijah is a cat that loves to have his picture taken and will pretty much follow me to wherever I want to take one (inside the house). He will lay or sit next to most props without bothering them too much although sometimes a paw just has to pop out and bat the items. He fits into the 'cautious' category also as he has to make sure that something new is safe and isn't going to reach out and grab him. :) Our biggest photoshoot problem... Noah usually pounces out of nowhere and jumps on Elijah making everything (including Elijah) scatter across the floor. =^..^=
I hope you all don't mind if I post now and comment in just a little bit. Have a Happy Caturday!

No, that adjective was not for the little blue dodgem, but rather for Budapest.
The capital of Hungary is often referred to as the queen of the Danube river, and this image taken from the Fisherman's Bastion hopefully proves that this title is indeed worthy.
