Borrowing as much room as possible in the currently shut Sunrise siding at Deniliquin, S302 gets in clear of its train and prepares to run around via the mainline with 9097 empty Allied Mills grain from Kensington/Tottenham.

Just want to make it clear the original images in my "borrowed faces" series have been shot on my computer screen with iPhone and then edited on my iPhone. The original image is not mine. So thanks to those photogs and videographers whose work I've been "borrowing" and reworking.
I've been so uncreative these past few days. I've no time to come up with new ideas so I've been browsing around Flickr and dA and borrowing concepts that I liked. This marionette thing's pretty popular so I figured I should at least try it.
Sorry if I've been a terrible contact these past months. I try to catch up when I can, but sometimes I really don't have the time :( I miss Flickr.
Title is from my favorite song by Steve Conte
Yes, I know. It's been awhile! I've been busy. Super busy. Workshops, work and life have gotten in the way of just getting out and shooting, for me. What I love the most.
So I'm writing from the road...I'm sitting in the parking lot of one of the most remote starbucks I've ever found, stealing...uhh borrowing their bandwidth to check email and upload to flickland. I need to run in and buy some coffee to ease my guilt and to escape the RV for a bit as Tucker (my Beagle) is farting really bad today and, well, IT STINKS IN HERE! (I bought him "duck hide treats" two little towns ago and OY they give him gas!) Maybe I'll eat one...poor Beagle.
So I've completed phase one of my trip north to Oregon - The Columbia Gorge. I met up with Ryan Dyar and hiked, and hiked, and hiked. Did I mention we hiked?? Let me tell you...I dunno why but when they built all these great waterfalls they thought it would be funny to build them way up in the trees, or way down into canyons. Oh well there was one I could have shot from the car but it didn't excite me. Thanks Ryan for a good time and your guidance to the good spots! If you ever make it to my hood let me know and I'll return the favor.
So you Pacific Northwest people instantly know where this is. Hard to be original, even with waders...this is Elowah Falls. Ask Ryan, I tried like hell for a different vantage point and in my attempt nearly ended up inner-tubing down the creek...without the tube. Luckily, I chickened out.
I hope this shot looks ok -- I dont normally post process on my laptop as I dont trust the color/brightness/etc. Let me know if this looks strange/wacky/cool/lame or gnarly or anything else.
After two days of 10+ miles of hiking each day I had my fill of waterfalls and headed northeast. I'm somewhere in the middle of eastern Washington getting ready to shoot Palouse Falls then, I dunno. I need to check the weather and decide where to head next. South is ideal as I need to get back to San Jose in the next couple of days. Any suggestions...anyone? tap...tap...tap...is this thing on?
Upper peninsula of Michigan.
Getting a singing shot of this species was one of my goals for the Michigan trip with David. This was a new song for me to learn and it was a bit trickier for me to learn than some of the other warblers we were targeting. It's song can bear some resemblance to that of the CONW, and at one point when we first heard this bird singing we thought we had a CONW, but it proved to be this bird. In retrospect the song of the CONW is distinctly different. Too bad wishful thinking can not turn a song into a different bird! The birds share similar wet boggy habitat in the UP of Michigan, but the NOWA is FAR more common there.
David thru out our trip would often point out a conifer specimen and give it's name. I had forgotten the name of this one and had to message him for it. You might think David would have 'Photog'. ' GAPHOTOG', 'WARBLER', or other such name on a specialty license plate, but he has 'CONIFER' on his. So David knows conifers (borrowing a phrase from the old 'Bo knows' commercials!).
Anyhow here is an excerpt from Wikipedia on the conifer above. "Thuja occidentalis grows naturally in wet forests, being particularly abundant in coniferous swamps where other larger and faster-growing trees cannot compete successfully. It also occurs on other sites with reduced tree competition, such as cliffs. Although not currently listed as endangered, wild Thuja occidentalis populations are threatened in many areas by high deer numbers; deer find the soft evergreen foliage a very attractive winter food, and strip it rapidly."

Weekly Theme (Week 4) ~ Letters and Numbers. M, 2...Apologies to Judy for borrowing your idea! Just in case any one else needs spare marbles this week.
"Please send home that shirt you borrowed."
Postmarked Los Angeles, Calif., Jan. 30, 1910, and addressed to: "Mr. Clarence Fox, RR #5, Sterling, Kans."
Is it an amusingly nonsensical message to send to a friend? Or could it be a catchphrase from some forgotten song or play? Whatever the case might be, I've only seen it on early twentieth-century postcards like this one.
(The origin of the last-week's-washing cards--see below--is similarly puzzling.)

She's borrowing Disney Store Anna's glove & Hasbro Frozen Fever Anna's shoes. I cut and restyled her hair. Just a warning, her hair is thin in the front and cutting bangs can expose bald spots O_O
Yay! This cutie is back. ;_; Wtf he's so goddamn adorable ;____; He's borrowing Agares' body and the match isn't so horrible! I'm hoping to get him his own body with my tax refund, whenever that comes... :3
On his previous head (which was the same sculpt, but in normal skin) I tried to make him look Asian, which was kind of a fail. This time I was aiming for a biracial look, half black and half Asian. He ended up less naughty looking than before, but I think he still has a mischievous twinkle in his eye. XD I'm really glad I changed his skin tone, he looks so beautiful in the bright colors! *__*
Valefor is a Little Rebel Jelle, temporarily on a Dolkot body.
Borrowing a technique made famous (?) by Peter Whitfield, I started playing around with a combination of Multi-Exposure and ICM on a visit to Amble. Great fun was had.
Whew...after a little hard work, elbow grease...and borrowing a few bits and pieces from that ship I er...bumped into...she's good as new! (I don't think they'll notice anything missing...)
Anyways.... ENGAGE...er no...Allons'y!
(Special thanks to Bear Thymus and Jinx for all their hard work on the new Expo Console from NLS!)
East side of Coniston - long exposure borrowing a Fuji GFX to make use of some filters that wouldn't fit my diminutive 35mm f/2.
Usually the Toberg guard stays at Toberg to protect the students. But this is not normal times. This is war. Most students have been sent home. The Toberg Guard, some students and some teachers rides south to Fangroth to join Lord Tathann and his men and unite with all of Roawia to purge the magic islands.
There were several hundred photographers at this location when I arrived. Some with simple P&S cameras, some with 600mm lenses and some borrowing their partner's shoulder as a tripod. But tonight, we all had something in common and that was to capture the Super Moon of 2011 aligned with the three monumental structure of Washington DC.
Of course nothing ever happens that easy because the Super Moon ended up rising about 15 degrees to our right, not anywhere close to where all of our cameras were pointed. It was finally a good time for me to see if I could accomplish a multiple exposure in my camera. After some test shots and learning some neat things about multiple exposure in my camera, I was finally able to nail this shot.
This was a two shot multiple exposure, I expose for the moon and then expose for my main picture. The camera puts the two pictures together and no post processing was needed for this final picture.
From NASA Science News: "The Moon is 14% bigger than usual, but can you really tell the difference? It's tricky. There are no rulers floating in the sky to measure lunar diameters. Hanging high overhead with no reference points to provide a sense of scale, one full Moon can seem much like any other.
The best time to look is when the Moon is near the horizon. That is when illusion mixes with reality to produce a truly stunning view. For reasons not fully understood by astronomers or psychologists, low-hanging Moons look unnaturally large when they beam through trees, buildings and other foreground objects. On March 19th, why not let the "Moon illusion" amplify a full Moon that's extra-big to begin with? The swollen orb rising in the east at sunset may seem so nearby, you can almost reach out and touch it."
This picture has been posted on cnet.com and you can see more images of the supermoon from around the world here.
To find purple during this dark time of year can be difficult, so now I'm borrowing stuff from my neighbours :)
Happy Purple Tuesday!

Wikipedia: Hallwyl Museum (Swedish: Hallwylska museet) is a Swedish national museum housed in a historical building in central Stockholm located on 4, Hamngatan facing Berzelii Park. Hallwyl House (Swedish: Hallwylska palatset) was built 1893–1898 to the design of Isak Gustaf Clason for Count Walther von Hallwyl and his wife, Wilhelmina. It was created to accommodate the office of the count and the extensive art collection of the countess. While the exterior of the building and the court is historical in style — borrowing architectural elements from medieval prototypes and Renaissance Venice — it was utterly modern on its completion — including electricity, central heating, telephones, and bathrooms. The elevator was a later addition. The countess collected her artworks during her worldwide journeys in order to found a museum, and, consequently, the palace was donated to the Swedish State in 1920, a decade before her death. The museum is open to the public, and the Hallwyl Collection which is housed there encompasses some 50,000 objects.
Sad trivia: The woman of the house died after having fallen in one of the stone stairs of the house.

Oh dear!!! My computer's croaked - I'm borrowing one for a moment - just to say I'll be off-line for a while but back once I get a new computer - it may take a few months! Am thinking of you all and will post comments whenever possible - am so glad I can still follow your photostreams off and on!!

Marika has 6 lovely eggs and is now turning them at regular intervals. It's hard work laying them, and a heavy job turning them too.
When I saw that the 2 swans were going to nest here after their first one was destroyed by otters, I hurried off to our friendly neighbourhood hardware store, got a 25-ft roll of chicken wire and a whole mess of interlocking ties, to install it across the front for protection, and then went hunting for reeds - the ideal cover because they're light and dry out right away after rain.
It took 5 garbage bags full but at last Marika had a more comfy place to sit. Plus, Bijan stopped cutting off the iris leaves ... they need these for a bit of shade!
Bijan has gone back to being the wonderfully attentive mate he was in previous years, and at least the pair are having a fairly peaceful time so far.

The Carnegie Library at Livermore, California, opened in 1911 and continued in use as a library until 1966. It now hosts a historical museum and art gallery. The building was designed by William H. Weeks in the Greek Revival style and is included on the National Register of Historic Places. A weekly farmers' market takes place in the surrounding park.
History
The first Livermore Library was organized in 1875 by the Livermore Library and Dramatic Association. It initially had a collection of 250 books. Members of the public were asked to pay three dollars a year for a family membership (or twenty dollars for a lifetime membership) for the privilege of borrowing books. In 1878, the Livermore Public Library Association was organized to manage the operation. This association raised funds to build a library building, but closed in 1887, after public interest waned. The books were stored in the local newspaper office.
The Livermore Ladies League of Progress reopened the library in 1896, naming it the Livermore Free Library. They created a new "corporation of public benefit" and sold shares to purchase the former library building. In 1901, the city took over the free library and put it under municipal control and financial support. By then, the library's inventory had grown to 3,500 books.
Led by Mrs. Dell C. Savage, president of the library board, Livermore began its campaign to obtain a library grant from the Carnegie Foundation in 1908. A formal application was made and a grant of $10,000 was approved that year. The city agreed to match the grant by providing $1,000 per year for ten years, provide land for the building, and support the operation with tax money. A bond election was scheduled for December 17, 1909. The election passed easily, supported by the San Francisco Chronicle and the Livermore Valley Improvement Association. The city purchased a 1.83-acre (7,400 m2) site at Third Street and L street for $9,000. The plot was formerly the site of the Peter McKeany corral and slaughterhouse.
The new building opened in 1911 and continued to serve as the main public library until 1966, when the city built a new central library in the Civic Center on South Livermore Street. The original structure, which was built in the Classical Revival architectural style, still stands and now houses the Livermore Heritage Guild's History Center and Museum. The building sits in the middle of a square block of parkland bounded by 3rd Street on the north, J street on the east, 4th Street on the south, and K street on the west. The park is the site of a weekly farmers' market that draws many visitors who buy locally grown produce and listen to music performed by local artists. The building and park are managed by the Livermore Area Parks and Recreation District (LARPD).
Building description
The building was designed by William H. Weeks and approved by Carnegie prior to the award of the grant. Weeks designed more than 20 Carnegie Libraries in California. He also designed the decorative fountain at the foot of the library entrance steps. Hoyt Brothers were paid $10,640 to construct the building. Several Livermore residents and local farmers furnished volunteer labor to assist the construction effort.
Exterior
The architectural style is Greek Revival, Temple style. It is one story high with a full basement, and almost square, with dimensions of 45 by 47 feet (14 by 14 m). The walls were built of locally-made buff brick, sheathed with terra cotta and plaster. There are light colored quoins at the corners, projections and foundation that provide contrast with the yellow walls. A low parapet around the roof line is decorated with large dentils. The center of the roof is raised and shows ornamental lions on one side of the building.
A central portico, decorated with a pediment that is supported by two pairs of Greek Ionic columns, frames the main entrance (on the Third Street side). The entrance is wooden double doors with glass panels. A rounded clear glass arch sits above the doors.
Interior
The main floor was divided into four areas. The largest was called the Reference Room, which contained shelves of books, chairs and tables, and covered the east side of the building. The west side had two corner rooms used as offices and a large foyer. The library desk was directly across the foyer from the entrance. The basement had a large 26-by-28-foot (7.9 by 8.5 m) area designated as the Children's Reading Room, plus two small offices and a service area.
The interior of the building has been maintained as it was built, except for modernization of plumbing, addition of emergency exit doors, installation of an exterior elevator and a concrete ramp.
Park
The Livermore Herald donated a sundial and several street lamps for installation in the park. Architect Weeks designed the decorative fountain that stands in front of the entrance. It is made of Colusa sandstone with a carved bowl 5.1667 feet (1.5748 m) in diameter, over which water flows into an octagonal basin that is 14 feet (4.3 m) in diameter. It has remained in operation since it was installed in May 1911.
Park landscaping has undergone a number of changes since its creation. Two tiers of concrete steps connect the park elevation with the main building entrance. A World War II memorial plaque was installed at the southeast corner of the park in 1946. The 60-foot (18 m) tall flagpole that was formerly at the intersection of Livermore Avenue and First Street was relocated to Carnegie Park and erected beside the plaque. The east and west ends of the park contain picnic tables that were installed late in the 20th century.
Current status of Carnegie building
The Livermore Historical Guild and the Livermore Arts Association have shared use of the former library building since 1974. The building and its surrounding park were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011, with reference number 11000876.

This, folks, is what a good lens can do for you. I am borrowing this lens from a kind friend, and man it's nice. This is one of the first results.
Thanks for commenting!
While I was photographing barbed wire (for our challenge), man servant was "borrowing" corn from farmers fields. We thought we would take some home to feed the backyardigans.
We nailed it about 7 feet high on top of a snag knowing that the Blue Jays would love it. We also hoped it would help Misfit with strengthening her wings - she will have to fly a short distance to get to the corn.
Little did we know it would be a favorite of Eleanor - by the size of her cheeks I wonder if it hadn't turned into popcorn in there. She stuffed her cheeks until they looked ready to explode, emptied them and returned to repeat the process until the corn was completely bare.

My first ever Italian tank! What do you think? Should I buy treads for this and build its flamethrower trailer, it is currently borrowing another model's treads. Inspired by the one at Bovington Tank Museum.
First up here’s my website if you would like to see more of my work or follow me on Instagram
Hi all. Been a busy few days with the camera with a trip to photograph the milky way over Kimmeridge bay followed up by a visit to this truly stunning field of poppies last night. These little redflowers seem to have fallen out of favour with farmers recently. I am unsure to why this is but happily this particular farmer not only has grown them, he seems to also have an eye for a good scene as two years ago he had some beautiful Seinfoin in this field.
This time though me and my mate Dave didnt have this filed to ourselve like we did a couple of years ago. A field of poppies has attracted the photographers like moths to a flame and the second night I visited I was with the company of another 17 photographers! I don't mind at all though, honest guv! I met some lovely people, some fellow instagrammers and bumped into another photography friend too so turned into quite the unexpected social gathering! To be truthful it was great to see so many people experiencing the beauty of the scene as much as i did and I hope they all got great images.
I am rally loving the new Nikon ZF. It really is a brilliant camera to use and now my hands have retrained their muscle memory from the layout of the Z6 its a real doddle to use. reall ylike the imagery its producing too. Rich colours and somehow sharper than the Z6 even thoguh they share the same sensor. I also bought myself a new lens. I needed a wide angle in the armoury as borrowing my mates 14-24mm f2.8 was great and all but I was always terrified I would drop it!
I have bought the Viltrox 16mm F1.8 lens and took it for a test drive Saturday night photographing the milky way. I have to admit I was dubious about it as its not exactly an expensive lens being 1/5th the vaule of a new 14-24mm but I was very impressed with the IQ. Sharp even at 1.8 with limited koma at the edges and only mild vignetting at 1.8 which all but disappears at 2.8. Weather sealed to which for its pirce point is pretty decent!
Will post some images on here in a week or so.
Thats it folks. Thanks for reading and toodles!
I never played Starfox much, but after borrowing Assault from a friend I was inspired. This design was inspired by the Adventures version and the Arwing II version from Command.

My camera is temporarily out of commission so I will have to upload some other stuff I have at a later time.
I knew something was missing before…
Here's a more complete look borrowing some of Aurora's fabulous pieces. And also wearing her key choker which I failed to include in my Pullip Merl review video…oops!😋
Trying Sora on the SDGr body that I always had in mind for her. She is borrowing it from Naoko (my Madoka/Shizu), but loves it so much she is reluctant to give it up; though I won't let her abandon her SD10 self completely.
Her Miyuki glass necklace is by the ever-talented St. James.

Late afternoon arrival to MCAS Yuma after a WTI mission. A "Silver Eagle" aircraft borrowing some "Checkerboards" wing tanks.
I know that these are really ~ geisha ~'s flowers, but I hope you don't mind me borrowing one for a while, my friend... I needed something blue today....
Straight from the camera except for a small crop, Powershot S3 IS, SuperMacro setting, hand held.
Many thanks to Dianne & Harry for lending me your beautiful garden to play in on Sunday!!
