We decided to visit a location where we found Burrowing Owls in the past. To our delight, there were a couple standing watch outside their burrows. These small owls, measuring about nine inches tall, are unique in that they spend almost their entire lives on or in the ground. In fact, they even use underground cavities for nesting. They often use holes already excavated by prairie dogs or badgers. In areas in which such reluctant realtors don’t provide pre-built homes, the owls will dig their own holes.
Borrowing Dominic's technique I took this image of the endemic Kokao through the cage mesh at the Pūkaha National Wildlife Centre.
It was quite challenging to photograph this very friendly bird. It was raised here at the Wildlife Centre. It is very used to people and comes up really close to the mesh and doesn't sit still for more than half a second!
A large songbird with a blue-grey body, striking black mask and small rich blue wattles that grow from the base of the bill, long strong legs and a long down-curved tail. The sexes are alike; juveniles have pink or lilac wattles.
Borrowing a line used by the 8,000 protesters who gathered in Los Angeles streets yesterday;
"“Say it loud, say it clear: immigrants are welcome here”
It's something of a Statue of Liberty thought.
Borrowing a title here from one of my favorite authors, Peter Geye. "Wintering" his title for the second in a family of three novels telling a story (across five generations) of an immigrant who settled in Northern Minnesota.
Spring has always been Catherine's favourite season! ♥ Thank you Sonja for borrowing Amarri's stock outfit, it's adorable! ♥

Sorry for my long absence >_< I've been busy with school and addicted to a certain TV series :D All my days have gone past by watching Game of Thrones... I still have to catch up on the two newest seasons but I can't do it right away since I'm going to France tomorrow! It's a class trip so I unfortunately I can't take my dolls there but I'll be sure to take other photos! ;)
1937 Delahaye 135 Competition Court Figoni & Falaschi Torpedo Cabriolet. For the 1936 Paris Auto Salon, Giuseppe Figoni designed a car shape so radical that it would change auto design parameters forever. Working with Delahaye's Competition Court 2.65 meter very low chassis, he incorporated sweeping fully enveloped fenders, known as 'Les Ailes Figoni', low mounted headlights faired into the wing pods, and dramatic sweeping lines
in bold contrasting colors. Known as the 'Geo Ham' roadster for it's borrowing design elements from the noted illustrator Georges Hamel (after he sued Figoni) the car took the World by storm. This very car, one of 3 produced was on the stand and then sold to a gentleman from Czechoslovakia where it was hidden and survived the war, being found in a very dilapidated condition in 1997 and with the help of Figoni's son, Claude, was restored to pristine condition in it's original colors, subsequently winning Best in Show at Pebble Beach.
With the global economic depression barely over, Delahaye ventured into new, more exclusive grounds in 1934. The plan was to relive the glory years of the teens and twenties and to shed the dependable and somewhat boring image built up in the early 1930s. A first major step in that direction was the introduction of the six cylinder engined Type 138 in 1934, which was considerably more luxurious than the Delahayes offered in the previous years. More important for the company's legacy was the launch a year later of the Type 135 Sport that shared the six cylinder engine with the 138, but featured a much sportier chassis.
One of the 135's biggest assets was the relatively low-slung chassis, which made it a popular choice for custom coachbuilders, but naturally also improved the car's handling characteristics. Although not quite under-slung, the use of independent front suspension and arched frame members at the rear contributed to the car's low stance. Displacing just over 3.2 litre, the reverse-flow six cylinder engine was available with one or three Solex Carburetors, producing 95 or 113 bhp respectively. With no synchromesh on first and second the four speed gearbox was the weakest link of the drivetrain. This was relatively easily solved by having a Cotal preselector gearbox installed.
Another major contribution to the success was the 'Ecurie Bleue' racing team founded by American Lucy Schell. In short she desired to be the 'Scuderia Ferrari' of France, with Delahayes instead of Alfa Romeos. The team campaigned a specially prepared version of the three 'carb' 135 throughout the 1935 season with considerable success. The highlight was a victory in the Coupe des Alpes rally, which resulted in the high performance version receiving this model name to distinguish it from the base model. The good results encouraged Delahaye to develop a more powerful, larger version of the six cylinder engine and a shorter, more agile chassis.
Both in the salesroom and on the racing track the various types of the Delahaye 135 were very successful. Its competition highlight came at Le Mans in 1938 when Delahaye recorded a one-two victory against often faster, but less reliable competition.
The Bourse Palace (French: Palais de la Bourse; Dutch: Beurspaleis), often simply called the Bourse is a former stock exchange building in Brussels, Belgium. It was previously the seat of the Brussels Stock Exchange (BSE). Since 2023, its upper floors have housed the Belgian Beer World museum.
Designed by the architect Léon-Pierre Suys, in an eclectic style mixing borrowings from neo-Renaissance and Second Empire architecture, the building was erected from 1868 to 1873 on the site of the former Butter Market, itself built over a former Franciscan convent whose remains have been unearthed. It is located on the Boulevard Anspach/Anspachlaan, and is the namesake of the Place de la Bourse/Beursplein, which is, after the Grand-Place/Grote Markt, the second most important square in Brussels.

I'm borrowing the theme of my friend and fellow photographer John Louie for my title to this image. It is rare to find fog on or near the deck of the SF Bay Bridge, and I feel lucky to have caught this sight while the beacon was ablaze atop the Transamerica Building. It was a good night for shooting Karl.
Do you know
The English word lion is derived via Anglo-Norman liun from Latin leōnem (nominative: leō), which in turn was a borrowing from Ancient Greek λέων léōn. The Hebrew word לָבִיא lavi may also be related.[4] The generic name Panthera is traceable to the classical Latin word 'panthēra' and the ancient Greek word πάνθηρ 'panther'.
One of the best things you can do for your child is to get them involved in business. You can teach them the ins and outs of being a business owner and having a entrepreneurial mindset. This can open a whole new world of possibilities. The more skills they have, the more valuable they are in any field. This would help them develop a healthy, lifelong financial habits of spending, investing, protecting, saving, earning and borrowing.
Young boy, you have your whole life ahead of you! At any age, you can turn your life in a complete different direction and sail to bliss. Well done, you!
While driving around this morning I spotted this beautiful adult BE in an area where I had never seen any sightings of them. It was initially on this low bush then came over to this post. I made my way out into the field and edged closely and cautiously using the bushes as my blind. I was very surprised by how close I came. I was borrowing my friends 600mm f/4 with my new TC.
And a rift in my photography. This is the first shot that I am uploading from my new camera in which I am borrowing off of Mark Rogers (mark@langstone). This is a shot of the sky the other day around sunset, I thought the rays were too good to miss. Taken with a Canon 5D Mark 2.
Neuschwanstein castle is a 19th-century Romanesque Revival palace on a rugged hill above the village of Hohenschwangau near Füssen in southwest Bavaria, Germany. The palace was commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria as a retreat and in honour of Richard Wagner. Ludwig paid for the palace out of his personal fortune and by means of extensive borrowing, rather than Bavarian public funds.
The castle was intended as a home for the king, until he died in 1886. It was open to the public shortly after his death. Since then more than 61 million people have visited Neuschwanstein Castle. More than 1.3 million people visit annually, with as many as 6,000 per day in the summer.
Thank you to Oliver, my Flickr friend, for the caption! I'm borrowing and paraphrasing his lovely words from one of his kind comments on my photography...:)

Still waiting for my new camera so I'm borrowing my friend's before MaKtober is over. The macro on this thing is frakkin awesome! Trying out a checker pattern on the dome but I'm not sure if it works for MaK? It looks a little future-NASA to me. You guys decide :)
Also please correct the German if it's wrong ("Jumping suit")
From the Plan de Coronesis you can see mountain peaks as far as the eye can see. Down at the foot of Plan de Coronesis is the town of Brunico, on the left is the Val Badia. On the right the Puster Valley and in the middle starts the Taufer Ahrental.
The Plan de Corones is a 2275 m high mountain in South tyrol (Italy), on the edge of the Braies Dolomites.On the summit plateau of the mountain, the three municipalities border Brunico, Marebbe and Valdaora join together.
The name Plan de Coronesis a borrowing from the Ladin Toponym Map of Corones.[2][3]In the Fanes-Sage Plan de Corones is the place where Dolasilla, the invulnerable princess of the kingdom of Fanes was crowned.
Bella has decided to borrow my bag for a little while... I told her I better get it back in the same condition she borrowed it in LOL...
This is the last day I saw the mother. It appears that she, along with the father, have been taken by a predator or injured and unable to return to their young ones. Nature can be cruel.
Borrowing here the title from one of my favorite hip hop albums, Dead Serious by Das EFX (1992).

I found my first camera I ever owned and some film that was not developed that was in the camera bag. Here are a couple images of that roll. I had to break out the Cinestill Monobath to see what was on it. The camera is Ricoh XR-10 SLR. I remember borrowing $$ to buy this camera. Brings back memories.
Wow, it's hard to believe this was already over two years ago. I thought I'd post this frame as it's finally been confirmed that BNSF 2098 (now CN 4957) has been repainted into CN colours after being purchased a year or so ago by CN following a lengthy stay on horsepower hours. Here it is while under assignment to Brantford back in June 2023, taking the lead of L581 as they begin heading back home after working some industries on the glass lead in Milton; a task normally completed by L551.
The sun was just setting over the horizon and due to the cloud cover in the area it illuminated the sky above in a mixture of pink & purple, to this day I'm not sure I can recall such a dramatic scene while trackside and I feel it really gives this shot an extra punch.
The 2098 as well as a decent bunch of other BNSF geeps were lent to CN by BNSF for the supposed reasoning of repaying horsepower hours back around the springtime of 2023. Normally horsepower hours are repaid between the class 1s with standard road power, but CN being desperate for 4-axles since the retirement of the GMD-1s as well as the GP9s getting older and weaker lead to them doing this unconventional method. It appears that most units BNSF lent were serviceable engines that would otherwise be in storage due to a surplus of 4-axle power within their own network, so eventually CN was able to purchase most of the engines they were currently "borrowing". As of 2025, some are still roaming around with their BNSF identities fully intact, some have been patched out, and others sent to shops for overhauls and repaints, which was unfortunately the case with the 2098. Initially I was hoping for a patch job that would leave the stripes on the nose intact, but no such luck.
With that being said, hopefully you enjoy what was probably the best shot I managed of this guy before it's makeover.

Bolpur, Santiniketan, India - March 2024: Bahurupi artists in west bengal easily metamorphose into different characters during performance by painting their face.
Bahurupis in Bengal
A group of folk performers who assume several forms [In Sanskrit 'bahu' (many) and 'rupa' (form)] and playfully take on different identities. The bahurupis portray several hundred characters borrowing stories from epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata; folk tales of gods and goddesses in disguise; stories built around common characters and inspirational stories about personalities.
Respect and apologies for the blatant idea borrowing. From front to back; Ski truck, armoured truck, standard model.

Während die Region bei ausländischen Gästen noch ein echter Geheimtipp ist, zieht es jährlich Massen an Urlaubern aus ganz Polen zur Sommerfrische nach Pommern auf die Halbinsel Hel. Um die Touristenströme auf den schmalen Landstreifen inmitten der Ostsee zu befördern, setzt PKP Intercity während der polnischen Sommerferien mehrere langlaufende Turnuszüge aus allen Landesteilen ein.
Einer von Ihnen ist EIC 5140 "Jantar" von Hel nach Warszawa Zachodnia, welcher auf dem Bild gerade den Haltepunkt Władysławowo Port durchfährt. Gezogen wird er von der tschechischen Taucherbrille 754 015-6.
Aufgrund von Lokmangel leiht sich PKP Intercity seit mittlerweile gut 10 Jahren verschiedene Loks der Baureihe 754 von der tschechischen Staatsbahn. Das Triebfahrzeug wird den Zug bis Gdynia Główna befördern, dort übernimmt eine Ellok der Baureihe EP09 die Weiterfahrt.
Die Aufnahme entstand von der Aussichtsplattform des Rathausturms "Dom Rybaka", von welcher man einen tollen Blick auf die Ostsee hat und auch die Eisenbahstrecke ins Bild integrieren kann.

While the region is still a real insider tip for foreign visitors, masses of travellers from all over Poland are drawn to the Hel Peninsula in Pomerania every year for their summer holidays. To transport the streams of tourists to the narrow strip of land in the middle of the Baltic Sea, PKP Intercity operates several long-distance trains from all parts of the country during the Polish summer holidays.
One of them is EIC 5140 ‘Jantar’ from Hel to Warszawa Zachodnia, which is travelling through the Władysławowo Port stop in the picture. It is hauled by the Czech "Nurek" 754 015-6.
Due to a shortage of locomotives, PKP Intercity has been borrowing various class 754 locomotives from the Czech state railway for a good 10 years now. The traction unit will haul the train to Gdynia Główna, where a class EP09 locomotive will continue the journey.
The photo was taken from the viewing platform of the town hall tower ‘Dom Rybaka’, from where you have a great view of the Baltic Sea and can also integrate the railway line into the picture.
First photo from America! i've been trying to save some weight by borrowing Jen's camera and metering for my film camera meaning no uploads!
This shot from this morning was a nice hike along streams up to an amazing slot canyon with this waterfall. It was great to see the light reflect through the canyon even though the sun had only just risen. This photo really makes me want to walk up the steps to see what else is hiding here.
As Japan imported Western forms of administration following the Meiji Restoration of 1868, Western styles of architecture in which to house them were also experimented with.
This 1921 Town Hall features beautifully proportioned interpretations of Western Georgian designs suffused with Arts & Crafts touches; at the same, Modernist Western architects were ironically borrowing in the reverse direction from traditional rectilinear Japanese architecture.
Meet Celeste, my sister's doll. (sadly)

Well, at least I can borrow her and take photos of her. >:D

The kerambit originated among the Minangbau people in the western part of the island of Sumatra (Indonesia). The first mentions of the cerambit date back to the 11th century.
The prototype of the kerambit is a rice sickle.
Kerambit knives have influenced the evolution of the whole family of knives. This was reflected not only in the borrowing of their design elements, but in the appearance of completely new types of knives.
First of all, it was due to the advantages that the presence of the ring on the handle of the knife. Nowadays this design element can also be found on many knives with classic types of blade for domestic or tactical use.
He was convinced I was trying to steal his soul. I had to convince him I was only borrowing it for a fraction of a second (1/800th of a second to be exact) to preserve it for posterity, thus giving him a type of immortality. He finally agreed, albeit with some trepidation.

One more from the shoot we did yesterday. The theme was RED. More to came later when I decide to lock myself in the tiny color closet and make proper prints.
So many of the tall Yucca plants in Joshua Tree National Park had an almost human persona. This yucca seemed to enjoy borrowing sunglasses.

Tofu likes toys, not really to play with them but to snuggle up to them when lies down on the sofa to take a nap. This bunny isn't his toy which made it even more interesting of course. It belongs to my niece's baby daughter who is only 17 days old and therefore doesn't mind him borrowing her bunny (yet). :)
Borrowing one of Winogrand's signature styles; that being, he would have an arm or leg extending straight down in an otherwise off kilter picture.
I have to set my camera for 'zone focus' when photographing street. But I like the effect it produced here.
I must say, Chicagoans know style. Thank you.

PS : The "Borrowed Days"
The image above was taken on March 27, 2019 as Spring Bliss was drawing closer and closer,and the "Borrowed Days" of March had arrived.Most of us are familiar with the old saying about March:
"In like a Lion, out like a Lamb" or, "In like a Lamb, out like a Lion."
March is many-weathered and there is lots of weather lore about its final three days,which were borrowed from April.
A rhyme originating from Staffordshire sums up the belief :
"March borrowed of April,Three days,they say; One rained, the other snowed, and the other was the worst day that ever blowed."
Yet another piece of folklore contradicts the "borrowing days" theory.It is said that towards the end of March there is often a period of fine,sunny and warm weather,which brings the Blackthorn into bloom.
I don't know which one you are familiar with,and what you experienced,but I had the chance to observe the end of March,the "borrowing days" theory,both ways.Two of them in Barcelona,where March ended like a lamb,and the third one in Athens,where March ended like a lion.Presumably,Climate Change holds many surprises for us.
I couldn't resist borrowing this dress for a wintery snap before sending it to its new owner. Thank you to everybody who follows my sewing escapades and everybody who was there for yesterday's shop update. I am humbled by the response!
My next project includes cartridge pleats. I hope it will work out the way I imagine! First though, a few days in the mountains, cross country skiing and playing board games (?) with my family. Must remember to bring some knitting. Thank heaven for knitting.
Ever get the feeling that you're being followed?
After several recent failed mocs I'm trying to get back to some basics, playing with light and shadow, very simple narrative. Borrowing Alex Eylar's 'Minifigure Looking Off Screen' troupe, such a simple yet atmospheric device:

This week I have been inspired by a photo posted last week in Sunday Sliders by Peter Whitfield (Flickr doesn't want to let me tag him). His shot had a similar perspective to mine, with 9 images stacked as multiple exposures. I've used a single shot to create a similar sort of outcome, merging 6 duplicates each rotated by 45 degrees in the Photoshop Mix app; converted to b/w and then added colour in Photoshop Essentials - all on the iPad. Thanks for the inspiration Peter - imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and I hope you don't mind me borrowing your concept. Original photo is in comments (and was the basis for last week's SS entry too).
