Know what-cha-wana-do, and just do it!

And it doesn't hurt to model your stuff after a master.

 

And what is a camera anyways?

My take -

It's the gear you use to create an image,

and sometimes you just gotta go BIG

to capture BIG!

GOING UPSTREAM: CHANGING BEHAVIOR FOR HEALTHIER LIVES

Treating diseases as they arise is one thing, but preventing health issues by changing one’s behavior is another. From life-changing sleep, to digital treatments and therapies, to daily care rituals including oral and sleep hygiene–upstream strategies are focused on being proactive rather than reactive, modifying our behaviors in order to improve our health. How are companies using connected technology platforms and highly accurate data in sleep, healthcare, and consumer products to help us move upstream? Hear from experts revolutionizing health care by adding meaningful value and helping us live healthier lives effortlessly.

To hell with social distancing, give me the seed.

This photograph was taken in bright sunlight.

Fed up with the Dark Knight always ruining his plans, Killer Moth decided to take a leave of absence from Gotham to finally come up with a fool-proof plan to terminate the Bat once and for all. He travelled throughout a great many number of cities and towns with super-villains, observing their behavior towards the so-called "heroes," looking for the answers to his questions. Blüdhaven, Detroit, Star City, Coast City, none of them gave him what he wanted. It wasn't until he reached Central City on his return trip that he got the breakthrough he so excessively desired.

The time he spent in Central City was a time of great turmoil for the Scarlet Speedster, for that was the time the Speed-Force Storm struck. As the luminous lightning struck citizens all around the city, Killer Moth looked up in awe. However, as he lifted his eyes, he witnessed his life flash before his eyes. His childhood, his schemes, his time spent ruing the Bat as he sat locked in a cell, he saw all his past as a mysterious energy surged throughout his body. And as suddenly as it struck, it stopped. But the mysterious energy remained. Not understanding what had just happened, or why he wasn't yet dead, and feeling a bit dizzy, he tried to take a step, but instead hurtled forward and crashed into a wall.

He awoke later, how much later he didn't know. Still feeling dizzy, he arose and took another step, away from the wall, this one sending him forwards half a block. After numerous failed attempts, he was able to walk normally, despite all the injuries. But after a few paces, his injuries had healed themselves. Confused, he slowly stumbled back to his van, which contained all his research on his "hero" problem. Suddenly, like the lightning, an idea struck him. An idea that would solve his problem on how to beat the Bat.

For the next few months, Killer Moth stayed in Central City. He dug up anything he could find on their hero, The Flash, trying to master his newfound powers as he did. For a short period of time, he trained at S.T.A.R. Labs with the other new speedsters, learning how to control his abilities while keeping his agendas and his villainous identity unknown. His powers developed, however he found that whenever he used them his eyes would glow red, a side-effect of the speed. It didn't bother him, as he thought it made him look more intimidating, "all the better to scare the Bat."

He missed training the day S.T.A.R. Labs was attacked, and took that as a sign that he was the one destined to end the Dark Knight of Gotham. Using what he dug up on the City's Scarlet Speedster, he trained himself, but with many failed attempts. Eventually learning all he thought was useful, he began coming up with a plan, as well as a new costume and name.

Using the material used for his training suit, he managed to create a new costume, this one with no orange, and a lot more yellow. He also remade his helmet out of the same material, which he obtained using means he deemed necessary. Then came the new name. Wanting it still to contain some sort of bug aspect, he tried lots of names, none of which he felt were appropriate for the new him. One night near the end of his time in Central City, he spotted a couple fireflies at dusk. He then took the name "Lightning Bug," which to his knowledge was not taken and far superior to any of his other names.

His plan was simple: He was going to return to Gotham, hoping Batman had not noticed his leave. He would then go forth to ruin Batman's attempts at crime stopping, thus ruining his name. He would commit even more crimes, thus making Gotham think the Bat is retired or doesn't care anymore. When the public had lost all positive feelings for Batman, he would turn him over to the police, exposing Batman's identity and ruining his name forever. Lightning Bug would then make it known to all of Gotham that it was he, Lightning Bug, who had ruined and beat the Bat, and he would take control of Gotham. Once he had built his super-villain army, he would take over more and more until he was the sole ruler of Earth!

With this fool-proof plan in mind, along with his amazing new powers, Lightning Bug set out for Gotham City. Nothing would stop him! No-one would stand in his way! He felt this time for sure he would be victorious and Gotham shall fall to the Lightning Bug!

In about six weeks, the migration of the songbirds will begin. Songbirds migrate at night. They fly in such numbers that weather radar can actually detect the flocks.

I have noticed that, on dark still nights just before dawn I can hear them chattering during peak migration.

It was a very dry and warm day. I was sprinkling water on the plants of my roof garden. Suddenly I spotted a bee drinking water from a small pool of water on a leaf. And then within minutes I found hundreds of them gathered to drink. I was trying to track their path and finally discovered a big beehive under the sunshade of a house 30 yards away from my own. I wonder how they have developed the skill to search for the source of water and communicate for the same to other members of the hive!!!

Later I learned that honey bees sometime drink water. They take the water and put it into their hive. As the bees fan their hive entrance, the water evaporates and helps to cool the beehive. They also use water to dilute honey to feed their larva.

 

These two male Boat-tailed Grackles and several others were vying for the attention of a nearby female Grackle. Very, very noisy but interesting to watch!

 

Thank you for your visits and comments, they are truly appreciated. Have a great day everyone!

Riley is still struggling with his attitude problem...

 

Riley doesn't have a mean bone in is body - this is just something he does with Lauren - as soon as they are done - he smiles at her and wags his tail like crazy...

I'm clinically insane.

 

Call yourself psychotic enough, and others will believe you, and put it on the net for others to see.

9/365

 

I'm not completely happy with this but i was running out of light and ideas. I figure the point of a 365 is to develop, not to outdo yourself everyday.

 

Anyways my reasoning for not posting yesterday (or taking a picture for that matter) was I had homecoming and a dance. Both sucked, but at the dance a get went crazy and had to get the stun gun. Needless to say, he is in juvi for the next six months.
