This one was taken on the same day as the Godrevy sunset where I was borrowing a Nikon as a backup camera (I know, I felt dirty). I was quite happy with images though. There were easily a dozen or so Seals playing in the surf around where I was sat, this one has only had a slight crop for composition.
I have just recently rebuilt this truck after borrowing many pieces for the breakdown truck, and couldn't resist making the changes..
Goldie is borrowing a few things from Barbie's closet today - her top and jacket. She is out on her college campus looking for the next story for her newspaper and she needed a warm coat.

I've been wanting to get this shot for about a year now. And now I got it, thanks to a 100mm lens I'm borrowing. Plus some really fortunate weather conditions. ;)
"There is beauty, spontaneity, warmth, and untrammelled imagination___with not a curator in sight"
I've been borrowing time to revisit familiar places copied to memory, discovered during warmer months, always curious the transformation and changes snow potentially brings. I remember this "ginger style cottage" a few hours South of the city completely abandoned, having a cozy chimney and fireplace. It stood in rather good condition, the rock and masonry around the doorways appeared remarkable.
There was a crumbled sidewalk entrance, an inviting outdoor fire pit, and practical garage for real repairs.
It must have represented a prairie hideaway for someone, having a romantic architecture and inspiring surroundings.
I was fortunate winter brings a new lease for the imagination, and sometimes the stars align over ginger bread dreams.
Wishing all my Flickr friends a Merry Christmas and Warm Holiday Wishes. I'm certainly looking forward to new photographic adventures throughout 2013. Thank You for Your inspiration and generous support.

Quick couple of photo shots at work.
A fellow photography friend who is also a rep for one of the companies we deal with came to visit me at work.
We had a brief conversation about a couple of photography stuff. He showed me his new lens that he is "borrowing" from his daughter, a Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 VR lens. What a great lens that is.
I had a few minutes testing the lens (see the one photo) I also demonstrated my old "vintage" Helios lens to him. Hence this photo.
Using the Nikkor 105mm f2.8 lens. I had this lens for 5 minutes.
Critique is welcomed.
Thank you all very much for your visits, favs and comments.
solanum mauritianum
This is an alien invasive plant and it is growing everywhere. Yet nobody seems to care to take it out anymore. It used to be controlled but not anymore.
Sources say this plant could also be hazardous to your health and that some people even goes so far as to smoke the leafs of this plant.
More information on this plant I photographed. (look at the Bugweed)

Also from the website:
"These IAPs may no longer be grown anywhere in South Africa. If they are in your garden, they should be removed and destroyed immediately. Trade in these plants is prohibited."
Alternative common names:
bugtree, flannel weed, woolly nightshade (English); luisboom, groot bitterappel (Afrikaans); uBhoqo, umbanga banga (isiZulu)
A shrub or small tree up to 4m high covered with whitish-felty hairs. Dull green leaves that are velvety above and white-felty beneath which emit a strong smell when bruised. Purple flowers in compact, terminal clusters on densely felty stalks up to 10cm long all year round. Spherical berries which start off green and turn yellow, in compact terminal clusters. Hairy leaves and stems are a respiratory tract and skin irritant. Unripe fruits are poisonous.
A letter from Alex, send by the way of Julia. (he's a good typer for 23 months)...
what Alex and mommy do when daddy's away...
sometimes I try on daddy's clothes - they're too big now, but one day, i'll be borrowing your cool-assed tshirts like the one from ben sherman
we have a bath. well I do, mommy hates baths. maybe one day i'll learn how to have a shower like you do.
we plan our trip across canada. i'm going to have my diaper changed in most of the provinces. I don't want to tell you this now, but mommy is making me - I'll also likely cry in all of the provinces. But the good news is that I'll also smile when you take pictures of me at all of the crazy tourist trap sites.
we sit in the karmann ghia. mommy says that i can never drive it. but i know that one day, when you're both at work, i'll come home from french school at lunch, and steal the keys to take it for a spin. hopefully you won't even notice.
most days we go for a walk with sheba that big black dog. she's alright. sometimes though she barks and i have to stop sleeping, but then i realize it's another false alarm and I go back to sleep. I like how sheba sniffs me when we come home from riding in the truck, i i think she likes me.
on fridays mommy and I go offroading. she said she didn't want to join a stupid baby group, so we joined this group instead. it rocks. i get to bounce around in the back, and mommy laughs and screams when we hit big bumps. it was kind of like that time at a+w, but mommy was faking it then. she spends a lot on carwashes so you don't know about all this fun we're having.
other than that, i just wait around till you come home. you always give me a big smile that i really like. and i like to fall asleep on your tummy, it feels soft and warm.
mommy keeps telling me stuff. like how i have to be nice to girls when i grow up, like my daddy is. and how i can do anything i want to do. maybe i will be an astronaut, i look pretty good in my winnie the pooh astronaut outfit, eh?
mommy also tells me fabulous tales about this cold place far far away where we will one day go. they have carseats that take you to the top of a big hill, then we get to slide down. mommy says it gets so cold that I will probably have to wear two snowsuits. she also says that we'll have hot chocolate and have something called a 'fire', and eat some kind of little bite sized cheese turds. mmm. turds. i want to go to this place, but mommy says not yet, we have to wait for the snow to come. i don't really remember snow. daddy - do you think i will like the snow? and daddy - when can we go to tremblant?
anyways, i hear mommy coming upstairs, so i gotta GO!
p.s.
I wanted to make this for you cause mommy tells me that she was getting things ready for me to come, and she missed valentines day. she also said that partly it was works fault, somewhere called barking dog - i don't know what that is, but it makes me think of our dog, sheba. anyways, i'm sorry that we missed this thing called valentinez day. mommy says that she loves you just as much as she loves me, and that must be a lot, cause she gives me kisses and hugs all day when you're away.
happy z day.
Here's another photo I found of our cat as a kitten. I think this may be it. I'm so thankful I posted a few kitten pictures on Facebook, due to our computer crash. Downloading it from FB did result in the loss of the EXIF information. But at least it wasn't completely lost. :)
We're currently borrowing a laptop computer from my brother-in-law. Hopefully we can recover some of our lost files.
Big thanks to Pete for borrowing the cars for shoot.
Setup: AcuteB with zoom reflector or 5' octa (can't remember) camera right. About full power with ISO 100, 1/250sec & F11 to nuke the ambient. Probably also flagged SB-80DX full power camera left to open shadows in the car. Triggered with PWs. pull back
Apologies to Edward Hopper for borrowing his title ... and his inspiration. The Ferguson’s Fountain Cafe in Spokane’s Garland District.
Had an unplanned disappearance from Flickr... because my Macbook of four years finally gave up on me :-( Now borrowing a laptop until I get my unit back from the service center (that is, if they find nothing wrong with the hardware). I lost some files and the pictures I took in January, but luckily I didn't clear my memory card so I still managed to save a few.
I took a photo of Alexis in the same place (with Chris' Giuleitta at that time) more than a year ago.
By the way, it's almost March, so we're starting to feel the summer heat in this part of the world...
In progress! She's a secondhand girl that Carmen purchased to make
a custom of her own; and she'll be getting a thermal pink saran re-root
so for now she's borrowing my Peony's hair. Thank you Peony!
She'll be getting stars added along the outside of her eyes; but I wanted
to give her owner a preview prior to that.
Sitting on my garden stairs, borrowing from the AA Milne poem, "Halfway Down";
Halfway down the stairs
Is a stair
Where i sit.
There isn't any
Other stair
Quite like
It.
I'm not at the bottom,
I'm not at the top;
So this is the stair
Where
I always
Stop.
Happy Macro Monday everyone :)
Borrowing some words from the song about Cincinnati that was originally written and performed by Bill Anderson in 1964, and later made a hit by Connie Smith in 1967, "Now there she lies at the foot of the hill; Shinin' like a jewel in the valley below; Cincinnati, Ohio." This view is from across the Ohio River at Devou Park in Covington, Kentucky.
I had a bit of dress envy the last time I met Alana for a shoot when she showed off her amazing new dress. Of course when you have dress envy, the only cure is to steal the dress. I really admired it so much when she wore it, but she was hesitant to let me try it. Maybe she was afriad that since I'm not as slim as her, I might ruin the dress trying to get it zipped up, or maybe she's just afraid that I might look better in it than her....
Yesterday, I set the VCR and ventured out into the rain.
Without a plan, I found myself at the library, borrowing copious amounts of HP Lovecraft. I figure if I'm going to be a "proper" Jeffrey Combs fan, I should read some of the writings his acting ventures seem so heavily to favour.
I fell instantly, and madly in love with Howard Phillips Lovecraft. I would hold his lantern above the open graves illuminating his delicate, angular features, dirty my petticoats in muddy fields all in the name of research and science, and write copious notes in my own commonplace books on our quests for the macabre.
(Can you tell I'm writing in my head again? It's quite joyous. Somehow, my mind seemed to return to me yesterday and it was giddy with conversation).
But I digress.
I spent peaceful hours downtown, buying chocolate and perusing the antique stores. Something told me to go through all of them along Holly Street, hoping to find some sort of treasure to steal home with.
I finally realized why I'm so fascinated by horror, Mr. Combs, and Re-Animator. My poor collecting gene needs a new addiction! I haven't bought new vinyl in eons, and there are never record shows close enough to go to. These new fascinations will help me somehow regain the joy of owning stuff and more rightly, the intense passion of the hunt. The search for something that isn't easily found or bought up at a megastore, but needs to be researched, sought, and ultimately and blissfully attained.
As I was perusing the winding passageways, something told me I would find something, if I just kept looking. Something that would make me happy and fulfilled.
I was hoping for a Re-Animator poster, but my prize sufficed. In the last antique store, as if waiting for me, was the CD I've been obsessed with for the past two weeks - Morrissey's amazing Your Arsenal. For a mere three dollars, I absconded with my prize and went home grinning and with a swelling heart.
I had taped The Frighteners, a Michael J. Fox vehicle written by Peter "Lord of the Rings" Jackson. But of course, everyone by now will probably have guessed my thinly veiled reason for using up valuable videotape. Mr. Combs made a brief, yet amazingly hilarious appearance as FBI agent Dammers. To see him do absolutely bizarre comedy, with a Hitleresque hairdo and manic tics just made my day.
Minutes after the movie ended, the remote found its way into my hands and I unconsciously hit 11. I was rewarded with an episode of Enterprise and suffered gladly through Scott Bakula to watch the ruthless (and very blue) Shran waggle his antennae. I will not have to relate who played Shran.
I retired early with Mr. Lovecraft and have been addicted to the stories ever since.
Finally, finally I feel like my brain is returning, and it's absolute bliss, my friends. :)
Someone up there liked me yesterday. And I am still feeling the after-effects today. :)
Hello flickroos, a term I am borrowing from Makayla, I have a request for you all. If you have not seen her stream already, please please please check out Kira's pictures... I got home today and she had uploaded while I was gone and every picture I looked at I thought "OMG amazing". She deserves so much more attention here. So please check her out.
That is my public service announcement for today.
Sorry for using another black and white picture, but I couldn't find anything else to upload.
I think I am going to bicker and complain a bit... I have been borrowing a group of cute outfits to take pictures in and planning a time to do it...
I pick a date, take a day off work, make a salon appointment to get my "summer cut" and hair styled/curled and do a somewhat extensive shoot (180 photos). Low and behold when I download them, 95% of them are like this and worse! Maybe my Canon S30 has come to the end of its useful life?
Maybe I can salvage a few... but... very disappointing... :( I tried a little photoshopping on the above (the best one I have in the yellow dress), but not a lot can be done with blurred photos.
I am borrowing my brother in law's 50mm lens with extension tubes at the moment. I love the lens and think I will buy one! Thanks Ben!
Thankyou dear friends for all your support, comments and faves. They will all be returned

I still remember borrowing this movie from my uncle and watching it by myself as a kid and being truly terrified and haunted by it. What an unforgettable experience haha 😂
Check out my YouTube channel if you want to see a tutorial of how I built this LEGO MOC! 📹
I stand corrected. This IS a Horned Grebe Juvenile.
Stealing...er...borrowing the idea from another good contact, I started calling my archives---particularly the older ones -- The X-Files. Just a bit cutesy, but so be it.
I like to go back through older folders, browsing to see all of the photos I skipped over, didn't care for at the time, or missed completely. This is one of the latter.
We get Pied-Billed Grebes here frequently, though they are not permanent residents. Occasionally we have one, or several Horned Grebes stop by for very short visits. Infrequent enough that each visit is worth trying to photograph. (if you know Grebes you know that they tend to stay well out in the water, and spend a good share of the time diving.)
Climbing into the Wayback machine to find some X-files from years ago, I happened across this photo. When I shot it I clearly didn't know what I had, and never did anything with it. The X-file actually turned into the Twilight Zone as a brand new (to me) species appeared.
We do not get Western Grebes here...a statement obviously contradicted by the photograph. However, it is the only time that I know of when one showed itself to any of my cameras. Happy to have at least a halfway decent capture of this lifer bird.
Below I've shown Pied-Billed and Horned Grebes, for comparison.
I love borrowing one of Alana's dresses and modeling it with her. I just hope she doesn't get jealous if I look better than her in her own dress.
. . . Borrowing a famous phrase from the US Space program, a Snowy Owl takes flight with it's huge wingspan! So much so, that my 400 mm of zoom did not have time to zoom out, and I inadvertently clipped both of her wings tips!
Have a great Thanksgiving weekend Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
During this years #Photo24London event I took Nikon up on their offer of equipment borrowing. When I got my hands on a Nikon 10-20mm lens I heading straight into the All Saints Church over the road to try it out. As it happens the colourful interior turned out to be a great place to put it through it paces.

Borrowing another one of Alana's dresses. I think she wanted to wear it for our shoot together, but being the bratty little sister, I got to it first.
