There is this small county road that runs right through a couple of farms that has a couple of signs that say “Borrowing Owls On the Ground, Drive Slowly.” This was our second trip as we visited this area late last year. It was a good day and we arrived early. Unlike last time there was no wind and the light was just right. We observed and smiled and took numerous pictures as they flew from the ground to the sign post and to the trees. They live underground in burrows they’ve either dug themselves or that were previously dug by a prairie dog, ground squirrel, or tortoise.
( New Swanstone Castle) is a nineteenth-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 as a homage to Richard Wagner. Ludwig paid for the palace out of his personal fortune and by means of extensive borrowing, rather than Bavarian public funds.
Now this 2006 shot is of an slightly unknown history as it was taken with a camera that was not mine. Indeed it could have been taken by his Lordship! We were both there and I recall borrowing his Kodak Brownie to take some shots.
Ribblehead Viaduct is a world famous structure on the Settle - Carlisle Railway in Cumbria, UK. This most scenic of railways was saved from closure by Michael Portillo, then a UK Government Minister, now a railway program TV presenter.
This is a Burrowing Owl near Yolo Bypass. Every time we are visiting the Yolo Bypass we take a quick detour to see the Borrowing Owls. Sometimes they are out in full force but this day it took a little searching but fortunately were able to locate a couple of them. Unlike other owls, burrowing owls are active during the day, especially in the spring when they gather food for their large broods. This species of owl prefers open areas with low ground cover.
The burrowing owl is a small owl native to the grasslands, scrub lands, and desserts of western North America, Florida, Central America and parts of South America. It has long legs, white eyebrows and yellow eyes. Boy do we have yellow eyes. The sun when in just the right location on this guy eyes really pops...
Thanks so much for stopping by and thanks for leaving a comment.
I've been waiting on Newt's eyes for quite some time now so she's been borrowing Goat's eyes. But finally, they've arrived and Goat can go back to her normal pink/blue eye combo! YAY!
I had to resort to borrowing my daughters colouring pens for this theme. Shot against a white background. Colours and saturation tweaked in Photoshop CC to make them pop
Just a fun shot I took while borrowing a Canon T1i from a family member. My Trusted Canon Rebel Xti (40D) is on the tripod and the T1i I used to shot the shot :)
I'm borrowing my grandpa's Canon Rebel XSI for the moment. My Nikon is starting to work I think? Thank you guys for helping me out!
UP's Powered by our People is borrowing some CSX people on the front platform for this shove move back to their train. The "new usual" dance that I132 does involves picking up junk freight in Avon to bring to Walbridge where they drop it off. On this day the inbound crew made the set out in the yard and got off the power right by the 'new brick' office building at the north end of the yard. The outbound crew is now on board and shoving back to get their intermodal so they can head up to Detroit. Walbridge, OH 2/21/2024
On the steps of the stairs to the platform of the subway bridge. Although it is not Sunday, it is not morning, and nobody is leaving no one, despite the begging, stealing and borrowing continues, I feel really like Sunday morning.

Orde was a Toa of Psionics from 'The Yesterday Quest' who had an interesting character. I decided to write a short story about him, and in it, Orde became a disciple to Tarix. This is my interpretation of Orde, borrowing his design heavily from Tarix. I wanted to give him a berserker type of look and think I achieved that pretty well.
Borrowing bits and pieces from two of my favorite works of art,

The metalic sun is a plaque we have hanging on our outside patio wall, and the caterpillar is happily moseying along its own path, considering crossing the border to turn over another new leaf!
My husband loves lettering as much as I, but he is much more prolific with his passion for combining gorgeous, bold, colorful pen strokes with tiny, compact lettering, often borrowing quotations from other fellow calligraphers . . .
(in this case, from Gottfried Pott).

I recently purchased one of my favorite colors of sealing wax and wanted to post a review, so decided to combine some graphics for this composition.

So here we are, on the road again, and I hadn't sorted out the Sony A6000 to Snapseed interfaces.
I shoot RAW and my image transfers from this trip look meh. After 4 weeks it finally occurred to me to look at the file size. Lo and behold, thumbnail jpgs were transferred. Ugh.
This is why my cellphone images look sharp on Flickr and the A6000 images do not.
I tested shooting RAW + JPG and the good, full Rez JPG does transfer. Lesson learned.
Next thing is image processing.
I read about how Norman Seeff used to print high contrast works with a twist. He used a black stocking between the enlarger lens and paper to give a interesting softness to some of his images.
He wasn't by any means the only one to do this.
When I worked at Samy Cameras photo lab on Sunset Blvd in Hollyweird we used to do this at client request. It was really no big deal.
What was a bigger deal was our use of Agfa Portriga Rapid 111 Glossy paper. It gave a gorgeous deep walnut brown tone. We used this for may of the gallery shows we printed for various then famous photographers.
Taking the black stocking idea and borrowing tones from Portriga Rapid, it turns out, expresses pretty well how I feel about Rome.
So, here is a series of images done in an old, outdated, likely not very hip manner.
The airline abruptly ceased operations in June 1990 as a result of Brown Group International, its parent company, declaring itself bankrupt due to their bankers in Norway withdrawing their financing of the group activities and the calling of the groups borrowing "cross guarantees" by the bank to repay the outstanding loans. The two leased BAe 146s were repossessed by British Aerospace and re-registered to them on 9 August 1990, while the leased Short 360s were repossessed by Shorts.
These are the route/frequencies at the time of its demise (June 1990):
BHD-DUB 3 x daily (SH6)
BHD-LBA 5 x daily (4 x SH6, 1 x 146)
BHD-LTN 3 x daily (146)

I have been borrowing this show title "Impression LiJiang" for all my photoshots captured in LiJiang. It's one of the greatest show ever choreographed by reknowned Director Zhang Yi Mou on earth with the actual majestic Jade Dragon Snow Mountain as the backdrop of the stage with 500 actors and actresses that are none others than the farmers and local tribe boys and girls themselves. Putting up a show of their cultures and livelihood that has been passed on generations for thousand of years in this magnificent land of eternity - Yun Nan
Beautiful music composed and arranged with reknowned singer Chyi Yi. A truly not to be missed show. Happy tears guaranteed....
I have compiled all the photos captured from this touching show into a video compilation and I really urge you to watch this to see my entire photo collections from this show. Turn on the speaker and click here www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCz0GZ0yX_0
Barye's thorough grounding in classical prototypes is evident in this highly charged representation of an incident from the battle between the Lapiths and the Centaurs described in Book XII of Ovid's Metamorphoses. Bayre surely knew the series of metopes from the Parthenon depicting the Greek legend, but the death blow delivered by the Greek hero is recognizable as a borrowing from the marble Hercules and a Centaur by the Mannerist sculptor Giambologna in Florence.
I'm realizing that I have several photos to work on, spanding back to the meetup in Indiana back in July. I'm glad I went back and looked through them and found this photo to work on, as I remember how excited I was when shooting this!
I can't remember who set up this shoot, but I know the light was so good this evening and Liisa was being such a beautiful model, that there were probably a dozen of us shooting this same scene. It was a blast :)
Another shot from Seasalter.
Still no Wi-Fi at home so I'm borrowing my local Pub's for an hour- apologies if comments are thin on the ground for the next few days! Normal service will be resumed shortly.
Borrowing an inspiration from my friend and contact, A. Tanksley, here we have sping transposed to autumn.
Part of a set photographs of the Prince Regent's Royal Pavilion (also known as Brighton Pavilion).
Built in the Indo-Saracenic style, borrowing ideas from Indian architecture in the days when that region was still part of the British Empire.
Unlike the originals, the building's frame is Cast Iron - cutting edge technology at the time when the building was redeveloped by the architect en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Nash_(architect) are actually very small scale - much too small for an adult to fit inside. Like the shrunken higher up windows and tapering outline of the Senate House of London University, the reduction in size of the minarets adds to the illusion of scale.
The viewpoint (often used in picture postcards) is also deceptive. By perching the camera on the edge of a small (four paces by ten paces) ornamental pond, the false impression is created that the pavilion is adjacent to a huge lake.
There is an official Royal Pavilion website.
During Work War II, Adolf Hitler is famously claimed to have spared the Pavilion from bombing because he wanted to use it has his English headquarters. This is reputed to be based on statements by William Joyce, an American born German radio propaganda broadcaster (named Lord Haw-Haw by British listeners), statements presumably made to demoralise listeners into the belief that this outcome was inevitable. Brighton was bombed, however, so maybe the Luftwaffe just missed.
The image is made up from High Dynamic Range (HDR) files. A large number of (identically framed) bracketed exposures were merged into a single HDR file. This 32 bits per channel file (over 4 billion shades of red, green or blue) was converted to a more mundane 8 bits per channel jpeg file. (It is not currently technically feasible to fully display 4 billlion shades per colour on a computer monitor, or on a print.) In the conversion process Local Adaptation was used, a trick that enables the detail in both very bright (floodlit) areas and very dark (moonlit) areas to be viewed in the same image. The human visual system is particularly sensitive to detecting edges, and "overlooks" intervening smooth gradients. This makes Local Adaptation a viable technique / optical illusion.
The image has also been modified using transformations to remove any barrel distortion, and also adapted to ensure a classical perspective with parallel verticals.
A Canon 300D DSLR was used. The number of exposures ranged from 1/250 sec. to 30 secs. in 2 EV/stop increments. Two large, nervous, ornamental carp live in the pool. I think that they moved about between exposures, causing the feint, strange, multiple streaks in the surface of the pond.
In 1951 well-known city sculptor of Amsterdam, Hildo Krop (1884-1970), completed a sculpture commissioned by the Dutch Post, Telegraph, and Telephone Company to grace its new headquarters. Later it was moved to its present location on the Oranje-Vrijstaatplein.
Krop took his inspiration from a poem by classical scholar and poet Pieter Cornelis Boutens (1870-1943) entitled 'Freedom of Thought':
'Gesproken of geschreven, leent het Woord
de vleuglen van zijn moeder, de gedachte,
En snelt, verstild, bij dagen en bij nachten
Alsweegs naar zijn bestemming voort'.
The sculpture shows Word - spoken or written - borrowing the wings of its mother, thought, and by day and night hastening to its destination. And shouting out its message, the naked truth.
(Borrowing a line from Paint Your Wagon). The first stage coach of the day goes right past the Columbia Museum. The stop in town is a couple blocks down the street, where the horses get a water break and passengers change.
This was taken the day before Halloween, so there was nice Fall color on the trees. Later in the day, the streets were full of costumed visitors for Boo Boulevard.
Yolo Bypass in Sacramento was closed this day due to flooding from recent heavy rains. But, not to be distracted from photographing waterfowl, we set out to take pictures of the Burrowing Owls that live in the area. These little owls never let us down. We usually spot the lookout sitting on a pole or sign. Then, a little further down the road one can see a single or double or even a family sitting up out of a hole moving its head back and forth. As long as you stay in your vehicle and respect their space, you can snap away and get some pretty decent and up close photos.
The burrowing owl, also called the shoco, is a small, long-legged owl found throughout open landscapes of North and South America. Burrowing owls can be found in grasslands, rangelands, agricultural areas, deserts, or any other open, dry area with low vegetation. They nest and roost in burrows, such as those excavated by prairie dogs. Unlike most owls, burrowing owls are often active during the day, although they tend to avoid the midday heat. Like many other kinds of owls, though, burrowing owls do most of their hunting during dusk and dawn, when they can use their night vision and hearing to their advantage. Living in open grasslands as opposed to forests, the burrowing owl has developed longer legs that enable it to sprint, as well as fly, when hunting.
Spent a great evening taking photo's with my buddy, ajax8055. This one is from Balboa Island next to Newport Beach. I was drawn to this Umbrella, must be my English blood :)
Miss Suzette is celebrating Barbie by borrowing her vintage dress. She is also borrowing sunglasses - I think Sindy. I got the dress in the same lot as the knits and slacks I posted Barbie wearing last week. Treasures!!

Ecclesiastes 12:12
Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them. Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body.
We are “borrowing the world from our children” and we are not playing nice. We may be the first generation in history to leave our world worse off for our children.
At a time where I sometimes feel overwhelmed by the troubles around the world, speechless and heartbroken at the things we do to each other and our planet, yesterdays Strike for Climate Change gave me hope. The march belonged to the children, the students who came out in the tens of thousands, holding signs and chanting for change. For many, including my daughter (not pictured), it will have been a first. Hopefully, not the last.
They were joined by us old folk, who came along to support them and their dream for a better future - a war cry for action.
I fear they will not be heard yet but maybe when politicians realise that the children are only a few years off voting, they might be compelled to take action, albeit kicking and screaming.
Keep chanting for change young people. One day you will be heard. I am proud.
Zoom in for a full immerson and then (or before) read me, please. (Traduzione in Italiano nel 1° commento qui sotto)
I'm actually impossibilitated to stay longer online, I'm just borrowing a tablet for a limited time until the below explained matter will be solved.
A bad admin, or, I should say worse, a malicius jerk administrating some groups with an incommensurable prosopopeia, professing his groups as the best of Flickr, (with what authority and modesty? Lol), sent an email to my mailbox injecting a bad virus: that of the ineptitude, oh my!
My doctor said I should follow a prophylaxis to avoid any contamination proscribing me to train with some new abstraction works. (I believe he means I should abstract myself from unrilevant ridiculous issues :-) There me go! This is my new abstract :-)
>>> Do you think I can be saved? Or should I sew that bad person who wrote me an amount of falsities and insults, hoping to offend me at no avail?
While Flickr is inspecting the case, especially after having had two approvals (certified by screenshots) for the same abstract, followed by two removals of the same and because he allowed himself to disrespectfully land in my profile with no permission and publicly drop lies and falsities, informing he -fakely- banned me from a group I had already left the week before as tired by his multiple unjustified incorrectnesses (this sounds a retaliation because with my free will I unjoined his elitary group!), I will post here my new preparatory abstract exercize for the attention of my Flickr Friends, contacts & visitors. It's been very relaxing making it!
Thought of the day: those who abuse of a unauthorized power, lose any credibility.
As my contacts and followers know, I'm an admin too, besides simple member in a number of groups, but I've never seen such a sociopath behaviour from the sides of an admin, asserting elitary and racist statemens on his "mythical" groups that, for him, but just for him, are the best ever on Flickr, although you should see the pool, not very much supporting his self-congratulatory position.
And, see, isn't this assertion offensive towards all the other admins and moderators of active groups who do their very best as volunteers ? Isn't this offensive for all those smart artists who decided to not join his groups ?
To tell it all, I had joined his 2/3 groups thinking that my humble works, not being a digital manipulator expert, could indeed fit in a middle, middle-mediocre group for ordinary creativity.
I tried to open his eyes, and I did also because, apart approving continuosly my submissions and then frantically removing my pics even after days with the false accusation I bypass the pending queue (ridiculous as impossible).
In particular, my pic that was heavily attacked by his comment (and 2 RRR emails = rude, redundant & racist) can be seen at this link: flic.kr/p/2oFPxRy.
I don't appreciate that admin continuously tampering me and my profile sending me a wide variety of invites to other groups, notwithstanding I regularly deny his invites and told him I don't need and don't feel like to post in those groups, but, no no, there's nothing to do in front of ignorance.
So, Friends, heads up, when someone treat you with disrespect, no matter what his/her role is, beware and possibly leave those groups that, if administrated with malpractices, rudeness and disrespect, are surely groups you don't belong.
Furthermore, the Flickr Community Guidelines assert, that a member removal can occur only just after 3 warnings and I received none, instead I received an award by the same admin who then removed my pic inventing I have overpassed the pending queue. The same admin who, while he believes to be a true digital artist, wrote me he was not able to download and visualize the PNG screenshot of my notifications proving beyond doubts that he had indeed approved my pic. Wow! A true professional! A fantasy visionary!
If similar episodes should happen to you, be aware you have the possibility to flag and report both the group and the admin responsible of bad treatments or unfair removals.
Happy new week!
All pictures, textures, photo manipulation and digital manual painting on my own.

After “borrowing” a Time Sphere, Booster Gold and The Blue Beetle travel through time and space preventing Time-Anomalies, and saving the universe!
This time we meet our intrepid heroes in the Old American West of 1864, amidst a duel between Jonah Hex and The Vigilante!

Another killer idea from yours truly :P
This is just whacky! At the time of developing this shot, I was knee deep into Westworld, so naturally, my newest time-traveling minifigs should go to The Wild West! :P
Booster Gold has actually had a few adventures in DC's 1800s, so this wasn't an entirely original concept, but none the less, it was a fun project to develop! :P
Patreon has a bunch of behind the scenes photos including of all the purist townsfolk minifigs that were built specially for this photoshoot! :)
Go check it out! :)

so I am borrowing a new lense and I went out to test it out. It's a canon 16-35mm/2.8 And so far it's just o.k. I am not blown away with it. I think if I had a full-frame camera I might like it better. I do like however that it pulls things in.
HHHMMMM maybe I'll have to upgrade my camera.
