this amazing place -
A mate of mine, actually my mate James whose D50 it is that I'm borrowing, asked me to get a shot of this carousel - it may end up as artwork for his band's next album.
Jimmy's band is called Remus, if you're interested you can find their MySpace page here and you'll be able to hear some of their tunes.
They're exclusively an originals band, no covers, which is a brave and unusual thing in Weymouth. Unfortunately this town is only interested if you play other people's songs.
I mainly uploaded this because I was quite pleased with the treatment - I boosted the colours a load in Lightroom.
here im showing off my dork 1/2 tube socks i have on today - but they are warm. and some stuff in my bag. only it's not my bag - im borrowing it. to see if i like it.
DADDY: “Hullo Big Growly Bear.”
BIG GROWLY BEAR: “Hullo Daddy.”
DADDY: “What are you doing?”
BIG GROWLY BEAR: “Well, it’s cold outside today, so I thought I would pull out some of your beautifully illustrated books and sit here by the drawing room fire, reading. I hope you don’t mind me borrowing your antiquarian books.”
DADDY: “Oh, not at all, Big Growly Bear. I know I can trust you with them, as you are soft and gentle with them, and so well behaved. It’s good that you are reading them. What one have you chosen for now?”
BIG GROWLY BEAR: “I am reading Beauty and the Beast.”
DADDY: “Oh yes. That’s Paddy’s favourite faerie tale.”
BIG GROWLY BEAR: “This is your 1916 edition of ‘The Old Fairy Tales’ volume number two, illustrated by H. M. Brock.”
DADDY: “Yes, I recognise the illustrations.”
BIG GROWLY BEAR: “Would you care to join me, Daddy, oh and Paddy too, of course if he’d like. There is plenty of room on the stool for all of us. We can read whilst we toast our toes.”
DADDY: “That’s an excellent idea, Big Growly Bear. I’ll just make us a nice pot of warming tea, and then I will join you. I’ll find Paddy and ask him if he would like to join us too.”
BIG GROWLY BEAR: “That’s a capital idea, Daddy.”
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 21st of August is “backside”, where the challenge is to photograph the back view of a person, animal, model of a person (like a doll) or a model of an animal (like a cuddly bear). When I saw the theme, I felt that I should like to introduce Big Growly Bear, my big yellow mohair bear with a somewhat stern face (which you can see here www.flickr.com/photos/40262251@N03/49915374176 as faces, even in profile are not permitted for this challenge). He was my Grandmother’s bear, passed down to my Mother and then to me, and he is 99 years old and in remarkably good shape for one who is almost a centenarian! He asked if he might dress up for his photo, so he is wearing one of his favourite ribbons of mauve satin, which he feels compliments his mohair plush. I hope that he makes you smile!
Growly Bear, the big yellow mohair bear with a somewhat stern face, was bought for my Grandmother from Hamley's Toy Shop in London in 1922. He is covered in mohair and has amber glass eyes, has articulated arms, legs and a head, and was named Growly Bear because he used to growl when you turned him upside down. He was still growling when my Mother was a child. My Uncle, born three years after my Mother, christened him The Big One, because he was the biggest teddy bear in the nursery. When he came to me as a child, I amalgamated the two names and called him, Big Growly Bear.
Growly Bear is reading my 1916 first edition of “The Old Fairy Tales” volume two, published by F. W. Warne and Company in London. There are three volumes in the set, and this volume features the faerie tales of Hop-O’-My-Thumb and Beauty and the Beast. It is illustrated by Henry Matthew Brock, who was a British illustrator and landscape painter of the late Nineteenth and early Twentieth century. He was one of four artist brothers, all of them illustrators, who worked together in their family studio in Cambridge. The three volumes of “The Old Fairy Tales” are quite rare.
It was an extremely windy day and this poor Burrowing Owl was doing everything he could to hunt and bring back some decent gifts for his sweetheart! You can barely see the head of the female coming out of the nest on the left. This was taken a couple of summers ago at Grassland National Park.... an awesome destination for seeing and photographing wildlife. It is strictly forbidden to approach the owls close to their nest. This photo was taken from a distance and the image has a signifiant crop. Hope your Sweetheart treat you as nice as this Borrowing Owl on Valentine Day.... and every other day :) .

So being a sex offender and all the other legal difficulties DT will have a hard time finding a job. Borrowing some money from some of his "friends" he might open a used car lot. Perfect fit really. "Only the best used cars."
Here are some turnstiles for people who want to ride the commuter rail in Stockholm. I pass by this place virtually every week and have often thought I'd like to photograph it. Before borrowing a friend's wide-angle lens I couldn't to it properly. I hope you'll forgive the ISO 640, but I didn't have a tripod with me.
I spent the afternoon replacing our bathtub spigot which has been leaking for the past year, getting progressively worse with each passing day. It was actually a simple job but it still required THREE trips to Home Depot and borrowing a wire brush from a neighbor. In the end, I won. The spigot is replaced and now we have a shower with full water pressure. Can't wait to shower tomorrow!

This is one of the famous kind of streets in greece. It has one weird detail. Vieuw it in large and try to find it! (it's a very hard one and VERY small)
The Rocky Mountaineer test run heads east through Fraser on a beautiful spring afternoon. The leased SD40-2M and SD18M will be the backup power this season rather than borrowing UP power.
Never been able to get this close to a Green Heron before. Unfortunately a pretty boring background but still like how the photo turned out. Was borrowing the R5 for a few days again when I took this.

After borrowing a 60D to replace my drowned 7D, I had forgotten to put on the tripod mount. So this is a handheld panorama which came out better than I expected.
With the Capture Photo group on the headland for some south facing shots down the beach, I liked this one better... it would be a good spot on the rock shelf for a dawn shoot in the future
I've been borrowing a Horseman SW612 of late (my Fuji 617 is under the weather) and enjoying it. The camera itself is nicely compact but what I am really enjoying is the 55mm lens that is on it. A 55mm lens on medium format is already pleasantly wide, but when you give that lens a 6x12cm negative you can fit a lot in the frame. It allowed me to see this view of the Fremont Bridge that I don't think I have every really appreciated before. Oh, and it gave me a good camera to burn an old roll of Efke IR820C in as well.

Some friends and I were out photographing the Valley of the Gods in Southern Utah and this owl flew up as we were driving to another location, the driver was the only one prepared with his 150-600mm lens sitting on the seat, between us. It was a mad scramble to see the owl and get a shot. Finally Kay, the driver, just gave me his camera as he could not see the owl from his point of view. So this is a 50/50 picture 1/2 Kay Shumway for it is his gear that got the shot.
I was only borrowing thing piece of "art work". It belongs to my mum.
My Project365 photo, Day 345, 5th April 08.
It's "The Summer of '69" (cue the air guitar, Alex!), I'm slinging the then-new Big Macs at the Mickey D's in Glenview, Illinois (I believe it was the second one opened) and borrowing my brother's '62 Ford Fairlane with the "three-on-a-tree" manual transmission, in which I forged into the morning rush traffic to get from my northern suburbs home to this busy crossing on the near-southwest side. It was another of Chicago's crossings where all trains had to stop and proceed on the signal of the operator/switchtender in the shack. An Erie Lackawanna RS3, using trackage rights, crosses the GM&O at "Brighton Park"; the GM&O was still called "the Alton" by the older rails I recall, due to its seniority as the Chicago & Alton Railroad. The Lincoln funeral train - a replica of one of its cars is on display this summer at the Lake Superior Railroad Museum in Duluth Union Depot - surely crossed here on the C&A as it made its way to Springfield, Illinois. The Pittsburgh Cincinnati Chicago & St. Louis, soon a part of the PRR as their "Panhandle" route, was the first to cross the C&A here and was soon joined by the B&O Chicago Terminal, and also the Chicago River & Indiana that became the Chicago Junction and came under NYC control. Since the "Panhandle" route was the first to cross the C&A in the 1860's (probably in time for that Lincoln funeral train), the PRR wound up being responsible for playing ringmaster in this circus, and it was and is still busy! It hasn't even been ten years at the time of this writing since a way of interlocking this mess has been figured out; until then it was the domain of switchtenders and operators, and the signal arrangement seen here reflects the bizaare variety of ownership and control. Since the B&O did control the "Alton" for a long time before its merger into GM&O in the '40s, the Color Position Light signals were (and are?) found along that route. EL was a regular visitor in my experience, evidently courtesy of the Chicago Junction (see Bob Lalich's remarks below.)
...as you can tell I have a very soft spot for my Gizmo he has come a long way and he is so attached to me and of course Meko is my baby too but he doesn't like to be carried and cuddled like Gizmo, Meko starts snarling and growling he his a big boy only pets and belly rubs for him lol
My new doll! :D (or head, saving for two Dollstown bodies~) she's borrowing another one for now. I've always loved this sculpt.
Well still no internet so borrowing someone's computer so I can upload and spend a little time on Flickr tonight. I sure had fun with Marianne the other day although we had a tough time for photo ops, overcast weather, not many birds...but still a nice time!
The City of Toronto puts up a few of these floating platforms on which the grebes build their nests. This gull is just using it to rest awhile.
"Humber Bay Park was developed by the former Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority with 5.1 million cubic metres of lakefill, at a cost of $6.56 million. Lieutenant-Governor John Black Aird opened the park on June 11, 1984. Several habitat restoration projects have been initiated at Humber Bay Park, including the planting of Carolinian trees and shrubs, the establishment of wildflower meadows and the creation of a warm-water fish habitat and wetland on the east peninsula. The park is also a popular destination to view migrating birds."
Thanks for visiting, I hardly do groups so your visits are much appreciated. #BeKind
Since I uploaded this photo however many years ago, I have cleaned up and removed all of the spots which makes the picture look so much better. It is copyrighted to Linda Baron and all rights of use belong to me. No blogging or "borrowing" is allowed.
I'v e had a busy old day so just "borrowing" one of my photos taken last evening for today's 365.
It was indeed a beautiful evening and I certainly couldn't have caught this shot, tonight! We are currently having a great thunderstorm and lots of rain!!
No. 6 365 ~ 2018 ....Into The Sun! ....
Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all.
Some of the Impressive Street Art on Buildings in Dun Laoghaire, Dublin, Ireland
The Street Art undertaken in 2021 is part of Dún Laoghaire Anseo project (Meaning “here” in Irish), The website says It's our take on the essence of Dún Laoghaire, borrowing not just from its maritime heritage but reflecting on all the elements that make Dún Laoghaire a unique place. Bringing together the best in contemporary street art, with a mixture of established, up-and-coming, and local artists, we're very excited to have brought the first project of its kind in dlr to the walls of Dún Laoghaire town.
The project was Funded by Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council, with the assistance of Creative Ireland.
NSSR is borrowing this NP dome car for the summer. Looks good - would look great with full lettering.
Borrowing the title from beautiful words of John Denver here I present another old image from Nepal Himalayas....on the left we see the crown of Mount Dhaulagir, the 7th tallest peak in the world and in the focus is Mount Annapurna South....a fascinating dawn on the first day of my trek to Annapurna Base Camp in Nepal.
the last time I played with a toy, I think. This was my room, above. Dad had carved my name in tile that he laid. Clarabelle, my stepmother, made the skirt and bench fabric for my desk...and the same material for my bedspread.
Meghan, Derived from Latin Margarita, which was from Greek μαργαριτης (margarites) meaning "pearl", probably a borrowing from Sanskrit. Saint Margaret, the patron of expectant mothers, was martyred at Antioch in the 4th century. Later legends told of her escape from a dragon, with which she was often depicted in medieval art. The saint was popular during the Middle Ages, and her name has been widely used in the Christian world.
Other saints by this name include a queen of Scotland and a princess of Hungary. It was also borne by Queen Margaret I of Denmark, who united Denmark, Sweden, and Norway in the 14th century. Famous literary bearers include American writer Margaret Mitchell (1900-1949), the author of 'Gone with the Wind', and Canadian writer Margaret Atwood (1939-).
"Borrowing the title style from My Friend,
Madge; I present my Tiger Lilies. They
are really easy to grow (less finiky than
other lilies), quite tame, and are welcome
to 'roam & roar' in my backyard anytime!"

Here's the Russian, 20-bladed Tair 11A I've been borrowing and testing. And a review of the lens if you're interested:
Before I left for my trip to CR I thought about borrowing a 100mm IS macro from a friend. It has a faster focus and locks on quicker but decided to stick with my 180 for the extra reach. In cases like this I was happy I brought it. This is a full frame image showing all the great detail in this beautiful and venomous snake.
