Because my wife watches a lot of "critter TV", she knew that porcupines had orange teeth. I didn't.
The animal stood on its hind legs, and shook its upper half just like a wet dog. In this shot the head happened to rotate away from me, thus exposing the underside of the mouth and jaw. On the camera monitor I thought I was seeing the creature's tongue, but on the computer I see just how convincingly it's related to beavers.
Because I do this silliness every year, my bokeh tree. Wishing all my amazing flickr friends a fabulous Holiday - thank you for the daily inspiration and friendship - I hope to be able to spend more time here with you next year.
Now I gotta go get ready for Santa!! : D xo
As you can see this was taken towards the end of summer (when I was holding on to it with both hands). I found this on the hard drive and I was compelled to upload it, I don't know why except...because...
Because I had not taken my tripod I put the camera on the ground for this one; it has a feel of being cast aside and abandoned to me, which fits in with the whole place
Because I actually forgot to upload this picture in Flickr. Not exactly my forte but I can make exceptions out of mechs and Bionicle.
FYI - It's supposed to look like a vic viper. Also red thrusters are detachable.
Take every chance you get in life, because some things only happen once.

The Glanni Waterfall on the Norðurá River is said to be the dwelling place of elves and trolls. However, during our visit, we noticed that this waterfall was situated near a golf course nearby an old lava flow (called the Grábrókarhraun lava field) and the hamlet of Bifröst. The falls was one of those wide river-type waterfalls that we saw quite a few of in the country, but this one segmented into at least three side-by-side drops as well as each one having

In case you were wondering what Just Because day was - "On August 27th 2019, National Just Because Day offers up an opportunity to do stuff…just because. Feel free to celebrate this day any way you choose. Just because!"
So I took a picture of the cross stitch I did many, many moons ago, perhaps a good thing as this might be the first picture I have taken of it!
The bees were a redesign by me, the rest was done as per the design - it was a kit. Framing was also by me.

This was taken on 89th Street Street and Lexington Avenue...
This is one of three photos that made the initial cut of pictures of a wholesome, redheaded high-school girl. I decided initially not to upload this one as a "public" photo on Flickr, because (a) the woman in the foreground is interesting, but far too distracting, (b) there is apparently someone immediately behind the woman in the foreground, but you can't see what he/she is doing, and (c) the guy in the background is a little too distracting...
Assuming that this is a typical NYC high-school student (which I think is the case, simply from the experience of seeing lots of other young men and women of approximately similar age, looks, and clothing style out on the street at approximately the same time in mid-afternoon one day), how would we know that it's someone from NYC, and how would we know this is what people (at least some people, if not all people) look like in 2014, as opposed to 2004 or 1994 or ... well, 1964?
As for the NYC part: I don't think there's anything you could point to. Presumably the photo was taken somewhere in cold weather ... but it could arguably have been in Santiago, Chile during their winter ...
As for the date ... hmmm, since I'm basically clueless about fashion styles, I'm a little cautious about this. I think the girl's boots are probably a rough indicator of the current era, and her gray tights/pants might also be an indicator.
From my vague memory of huge, puffy, winter parkas that I wore as a young man, I would guess that her blue parka is fairly recent ... but for all I know, jackets like that have been available for 10 years.
The only thing that I think we would all agree is relatively new is her cellphone. If you magnify the image (as I've done), you'll see an Apple logo beneath the greenish protective cover. So it's an iPhone, which means it isn't any older than 2007.
Beyond that, I'm not really sure of anything...
***************
This set of photos is based on a very simple concept: walk every block of Manhattan with a camera, and see what happens. To avoid missing anything, walk both sides of the street.
That's all there is to it …
Of course, if you wanted to be more ambitious, you could also walk the streets of Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx. But that's more than I'm willing to commit to at this point, and I'll leave the remaining boroughs of New York City to other, more adventurous photographers.
Oh, actually, there's one more small detail: leave the photos alone for a month -- unedited, untouched, and unviewed. By the time I actually focus on the first of these "every-block" photos, I will have taken more than 8,000 images on the nearby streets of the Upper West Side -- plus another several thousand in Rome, Coney Island, and the various spots in NYC where I traditionally take photos. So I don't expect to be emotionally attached to any of the "every-block" photos, and hope that I'll be able to make an objective selection of the ones worth looking at.
As for the criteria that I've used to select the small subset of every-block photos that get uploaded to Flickr: there are three. First, I'll upload any photo that I think is "great," and where I hope the reaction of my Flickr-friends will be, "I have no idea when or where that photo was taken, but it's really a terrific picture!"
A second criterion has to do with place, and the third involves time. I'm hoping that I'll take some photos that clearly say, "This is New York!" to anyone who looks at it. Obviously, certain landscape icons like the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty would satisfy that criterion; but I'm hoping that I'll find other, more unexpected examples. I hope that I'll be able to take some shots that will make a "local" viewer say, "Well, even if that's not recognizable to someone from another part of the country, or another part of the world, I know that that's New York!" And there might be some photos where a "non-local" viewer might say, "I had no idea that there was anyplace in New York City that was so interesting/beautiful/ugly/spectacular."
As for the sense of time: I remember wandering around my neighborhood in 2005, photographing various shops, stores, restaurants, and business establishments -- and then casually looking at the photos about five years later, and being stunned by how much had changed. Little by little, store by store, day by day, things change … and when you've been around as long as I have, it's even more amazing to go back and look at the photos you took thirty or forty years ago, and ask yourself, "Was it really like that back then? Seriously, did people really wear bell-bottom jeans?"
So, with the expectation that I'll be looking at these every-block photos five or ten years from now (and maybe you will be, too), I'm going to be doing my best to capture scenes that convey the sense that they were taken in the year 2013 … or at least sometime in the decade of the 2010's (I have no idea what we're calling this decade yet). Or maybe they'll just say to us, "This is what it was like a dozen years after 9-11".
Movie posters are a trivial example of such a time-specific image; I've already taken a bunch, and I don't know if I'll ultimately decide that they're worth uploading. Women's fashion/styles are another obvious example of a time-specific phenomenon; and even though I'm definitely not a fashion expert, I suspected that I'll be able to look at some images ten years from now and mutter to myself, "Did we really wear shirts like that? Did women really wear those weird skirts that are short in the front, and long in the back? Did everyone in New York have a tattoo?"
Another example: I'm fascinated by the interactions that people have with their cellphones out on the street. It seems that everyone has one, which certainly wasn't true a decade ago; and it seems that everyone walks down the street with their eyes and their entire conscious attention riveted on this little box-like gadget, utterly oblivious about anything else that might be going on (among other things, that makes it very easy for me to photograph them without their even noticing, particularly if they've also got earphones so they can listen to music or carry on a phone conversation). But I can't help wondering whether this kind of social behavior will seem bizarre a decade from now … especially if our cellphones have become so miniaturized that they're incorporated into the glasses we wear, or implanted directly into our eyeballs.
Oh, one last thing: I've created a customized Google Map to show the precise details of each day's photo-walk. I'll be updating it each day, and the most recent part of my every-block journey will be marked in red, to differentiate it from all of the older segments of the journey, which will be shown in blue. You can see the map, and peek at it each day to see where I've been, by clicking on this link

If you have any suggestions about places that I should definitely visit to get some good photos, or if you'd like me to photograph you in your little corner of New York City, please let me know. You can send me a Flickr-mail message, or you can email me directly at ed-at-yourdon-dot-com
Stay tuned as the photo-walk continues, block by block ...
Australian Sea Lion - Kangaroo Island, Australia
Sea lions differ from seals in a number of ways. They have ear flaps instead of ear holes and they can walk on land by rotating their hind flippers forward and underneath their bodies.
Approximately 15,000 Australian Sea Lions inhabit the southern and western coast of Australia. This sea lion is part of a colony who live on Seal Bay in Kangaroo Island.
Kangaroo Island is the third largest island in Australia after Tasmania and Melville Island. Less that 4,600 people inhabit the island. The island is known for its natural beauty and wildlife.

Because I'm not brave (stupid?) enough to throw my camera in the air...
This is what my digital radio looked like when I shook my Canon during a long exposure. The red is from the power light and the blue is the backlit LCD display.
Because what collection of brick containers would be complete without one? ;)
Note: the printed crate was a gift from Will to myself and will not be sold from BrickArms at any point in the future
Mergus merganser
diving ducks - members of the sawbill family, so called because of their long, serrated bills, used for catching fish.
Because of it's status as the official basilica of the Pope, it's nickname is the "Mother Church."
The twelve niches inside hold massive statues of the 12 apostles.
Because we seem most often to show the more attractive side of our worlds, I'd like to mix it up and send some blight. So here you go. The Josiah Quincy School in Chinatown, Boston, part of the Boston Public School system, as seen every Tuesday afternoon by me in my car on Herald Street headed to the Southeast Expressway. If you were to ever walk inside this school you'd see it for what it is — a place filled with the world's most beautiful Asian faces.
Light the Explorer and the Barossa Valley.
Colonel Light had his departure from England in May 1836 delayed for several weeks because he was ill. He suffered from dysentery quite often as well as his tuberculosis. Despite his poor health he tramped the Adelaide Plains selecting a site for the city of Adelaide. He explored the Port Adelaide estuary area and the Patawalonga estuary at Holdfast Bay (Glenelg). By ship and then foot he had explored Encounter Bay, Nepean Bay area of Kangaroo Island, checked out Port Lincoln and begun a preliminary survey at Rapid Bay. He also explored the Barossa Valley in December 1837 and again in January 1839. He named the valley after the location of one of his military battles, the Battle of Barrosa (changed to Barossa) in the Peninsula Wars in Spain in 1811; he named Lynedoch (later changed to Lyndoch) after General Thomas Graham with whom he served in the Peninsula Wars as Graham was the first Baron of Lynedoch. His December 1837 exploration party included John Morphett. John Hill and James Fisher, the Resident Commissioner of SA and second in command after Governor Hindmarsh. Light discovered and named the Barossa and Lyndoch within days of leaving Adelaide. He named the river in the valley the Morphett River but that was changed to the North Para River. His January 1839 exploration party included Boyle Finniss and David McLaren. McLaren chose land near Lyndoch for a SA Company Special Survey. Light was very ill as he had been on the first trip and he rested at the North Para River in January 1839 whilst the rest of the party explored further. After the second trip Charles Flaxman took out a Special Survey for George Fife Angas and named the area along the North Para River Lights Pass after Colonel William Light. Light wrote to Flaxman and thanked him for naming the site thus. It was the spot where Light had camped and rested with illness on his first trip in January 1839.
George Fife Angas probably had tenants on his lands as he did on other areas of the Barossa Valley. The first white settlers who were able to purchase surveyed land here were the German Scholz family. They took up land in 1842. Other Germans settlers followed soon after. The Luhr family built their small cottage here in 1848 with its German furnishings and decor. It was restored in 1986. The Lutherans set about building a church soon after settlement. The first teacher was Gustav Rechner, a follower of Pastor Kavel. In 1846 the Lutheran Light Pass community built a combined school room/church and a teacher’s residence. Pastor Kavel conducted services every 6 weeks. In 1850 they built a pug church, followed in 1858 by a manse for their pastor. This early church was replaced by the Kavel Memorial Hall (1949) and a new Immanuel church built in 1886 which still stands. The Immanuel School closed in 1909 and the children then went to the Strait Gate Lutheran School in Light Pass. In 1860 some disgruntled parishioners broke away from Immanuel Church and formed Strait Gate Lutheran congregation, church and school. Their church was built in 1861 with a bell tower added in 1877. This 1861 church was demolished in1960 when a new Strait Gate Lutheran Church was erected but with the 1877 bell tower still attached. The Strait Gate Lutheran School was rebuilt in 1914, before closing in 1917. It re-opened in 1939. A public school began operating in Lights Pass in 1917 in the rented Strait Gate school room. The state school opened when all Lutheran Schools were closed by act of parliament during World War One. By 1931 it had 84 pupils. In 1936 Strait Gate church decided to reopen its Lutheran School and the current fine Art Deco state school was built after that time. The state school was evicted from the Lutheran school site in May 1939 and a new temporary state school opened in June 1939 as world war with Germany approached. The government opened the current school in November 1940. There is a memorial cairn just by the Post Office shed next to Strait Gate Church for a 150 jubilee re-enactment of Light’s visit in 1837. Light Pass state school still exists despite its proximity to Nuriootpa. At the northern crossroads is the major memorial cairn to Colonel William Light and Captain Charles Sturt. It was erected in 1944 as a memorial to these two early explorers. Light in January 1839 and Sturt in August 1844.
Because the sound that shook the ground sounded, I got closer to this. I heard the shout of joy of women from this. It is KAWAii!!MATSURi on that day seemed to be held.
On April 21, 2013 in Sendagaya Tokyo gymnasium.

地面を揺らすような音が響いていたので近づいてみると、体育館の中から歓声が聞こえました。 この日はKAWAii!!MATSURiが開催されていたようです。
