Usually, I use the "boost" feature in Picasa sparingly. But when I saw what this looked like boosted way up, I really liked it. This is a restaurant in San Jose, CA.
Saw this lady while I was on holiday in Whitby trying out the new coffee lid mobile phone signal booster!
Guy Bawkes is an unassuming Orpington chicken, looking to avenge the mistreatment of his people with a hardsuit of his own designs. UVC ray-extraction cells located around the outer shell charge up the cannon. Other arm has dual grips for superior dexterity. Canopy is equipped with thermal and night-vision filters. No flight capabilities (a concept out of reach for chickens, it seems), but thrusters located near the heels allow the suit to "sprint."

Yesterday, 19 July 2024, the forecast was for yet another HOT day, with the continuing heat dome. It was another day to escape the stifling heat in my home and spend a few hours (turned into 10 hours) enjoying my car's air-conditioning. The day's temperature varied from 32C to 34C. I wasn't sure exactly where I would go, but knew I wanted to check several familiar spots.
Leaving home just before 8:15 am (early for me!), I headed west of Calgary. I was surprised at the lack of Mountain Bluebirds, except for two that were too far away to get even a half-decent photo.
Despite having 124 images of Wilson's Snipe posted in a Flickr album, I also hoped to see one on this drive. No sign of one, but heard, until I returned a short while later to search once more. This time, I was so happy to see a familiar shape on top of a distant fence post. These birds tend to stay put for a while, allowing a few photos to be taken from inside my car. I also saw another Snipe at a different location, this time perched on top of a Bluebird nesting box.
One bird that I had seen from far away on other days, in flight, but had not been able to see one perched on a fence post this year, was the Black Tern. This time, I was finally in luck. Not the sharpest photos, partly because of the heat distortion. The day stayed rather hazy all day, almost blocking out the distant mountains.
I ended up taking a rough, gravel road that was new to me. The wildflowers were beautiful. Took a few photos from inside my car, knowing that if I kept stopping and climbing in and out, my knees would, without doubt, complain even more strongly once I got home. Over the last 18 years, I have taken so many macro shots of wildflowers, so I will enjoy those memories. After driving a long way, I realized that the road was going to suddenly come to an end, which meant a long drive back. Happened to notice a small evergreen tree near the edge of this road, with three or four Christmas baubles still hanging from the branches.
Later in the day, I sat in my car and watched a Swainson's Hawk feeding her two (?) rather helpless young ones. I loved her very brief moment of concern when one of them took a large piece of prey from her beak - she wanted to check that the youngster managed to swallow such a large piece.
One bird that I was really hoping I might see, but have seen quite a few times over the years, was a Ferruginous Hawk - one of my favourite bird species. Suddenly, there it was, perched on a distant power pole, way down the road. I had to drive past it, so stopped to take a few shots and left it in peace.
Closer to home, and SE of the city, I drove three or four roads in one of my 'usual' areas. A few old barns, lots of yellow Canola fields, another Swainson's Hawk, four Alpacas, and a rather attractive young bird that I think might be a juvenile Brown-headed Cowbird, completed my day. By then, I was ready to collapse after 10 hours of driving, but was determined to fill my car with gas ready for a next outing, and I also needed to buy a few groceries. Felt so good to be in a cool supermarket for a while!
Since it has gotten colder outside, I don't get out and ride the Boosted Board as much. Turns out the cold weather and wind affects the already limited range of these boards...disappointing because I can no longer make my short commute to work on a full battery. It was just over 50 degrees today and I had plenty of time to waste so I decided to take it for a spin. Not a bad ride, I just want the winter to fly b so I can get back out and shred the DC streets on the regular again.

"...few weeks ago my girlfriend left me-after six years-without a real explanation...it was devastating...I didn´t sleep and eat the first two days...but after few days I got an energy boost and start to change my life...I stopped watching tv and playing playstation...I started meditating almost every day...I am so grateful for my family and friends to hold my back...the only thing I can`t still handle is when I see photos from the past...I was so sure about marrying this girl..."
Yet the ECS paths, which were taking up passenger paths (in that every third train on the Kirkby line was a ECS test run) remained ECS paths, rather than being swapped to passenger turns. Doesn't seem a great way of boosting customer confidence, especially when Stagecoach's 20/21 more or less mirror the rail route.

Two Louisville & Indiana units creep forward while dumping ballast along the right-of-way, making improvements to its line between Louisville and Indianapolis.
As I work through my old catalogs looking for images I keep unearthing gems from two years ago. This one is my friend's daughter who's now walking & talking and running up a storm.
Bobby Ho's Lexus IS300, Houston, TX, 2011
It's been a little over 2 yrs since I've taken this shot. I wasn't happy with this set which is one of the reasons why I haven't been motivated to edit the set... My apologies to Bobby for taking so long on these photos.
