Super Takumar 200mm F/4. Old RAW file from Alaska. Bore Tides can move very fast and are an impressive sight in motion.
Visiting Manchester museum with my family, became a little tired looking at mummies & dinosaurs, so wandered outside to see if I could catch any interesting shots of the building. Appears I wasn’t the only slightly bored individual…..
Change for India helps provide bore wells to rural villages without sufficent water. Bore wells in India are a great source of clean drinking water.
A first attempt to the moutains but the cold and snow made us quickly retrieve to the beach.

I used to play this game a lot as a kid. I forgot I even had them still, but I found them, and well...this is how it works!

Sorry, no time for Flickr tonight. Gina's out with the girls and I'm home entertaining her dad. (Not really. We're just watching TV.)
My friend Matt aka Fanboy30 made this for me one day while he was bored at work. Buzz looks like he is just about to relieve himself in his suit.
Taken at Dublin Zoo on 19th September - minor defect in that shot had to be taken through glass screen.
Marstonia lustrica
State Listed as Endangered in Massachusetts
The boreal marstonia belongs to the Hydrobiidae family of snails, and like most has a conical spiral shell. Their shells are very thin, a light shade of brown or green, and include four to six whorls. Marstonias can be found on rocks or vegetation in freshwater lakes and rivers in the eastern states. This species of snail requires a male and female to reproduce, and after fertilization the female transfers her eggs to the shells of other snails or buries them in sediment. Snails feed on aquatic plants, and play a vital role in water quality.
In Massachusetts specifically, the boreal marstonia snails are endangered due to loss of habitat, human development, and herbicide treatment. Boreal Marstonia populations in Massachusetts are limited to only one lake and are threatened by activities such as lakeshore development, aquatic plant mowing, herbicide treatment, and water level drawdowns. The resulting decrease in water clarity can prevent the growth of rooted aquatic vegetation in deeper waters, which may be essential for the survival of the species. Much habitat is lost due to landowners and communities clearing out or trimming aquatic plants. A healthy population of snails in the area will keep the growth of algae and plants under control. Losing snails will result in massive overgrowth of aquatic plants and will affect the quality of water. It is important for the public to allow the snails to primarily oversee the aquatic plant growth and allow them to continue to do the job they were created to do. In addition, when swimming, stay in areas set aside for human recreation.

Gallery 224 at the Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard is pleased to present an exhibition of work from Montana-based potter Julia Galloway's most recent body of work, The Endangered Species Project: New England. Galloway works from each state's official list of species identified as endangered, threatened or extinct. She has created a series of covered jars, one urn for each species, illustrating the smallest Agassiz Clam Shrimp to the largest Eastern Elk.

Day Road, Pittsburg, NH
One of 62 along Day Road (personal high count, and possibly a state high count).
Pittsburg CBC
The first day I did fall color shots, I stopped in the Huntsville town square and shot about half a dozen boring flower shots.
Well, I'll begin to bore you with these verbenas.
Is "bored" a gang? Or is it someone making fun of gang stickers? This gives new meaning to the term "tagging." :-)

The pressure of the daily photo!
Today the weather was beautiful in London so we took a long walk through the park and went out for brunch. Took a few photos on the way not really happy with any of them so on the walk back home I was on the lookout for something to photograph!
Since starting this 365 I have become so much more observant, constantly on the lookout for things I could snap. Anyway I was messing about for ages taking some photos and then turned around and caught my husband on the other side of the street waiting patiently for me so I secretly took a few shots.
The sun has done funny things to this photo but when I moved to avoid it the composition of the photo changed. So I have used this one, I like the composition and the light gives it a bit of a different look.
