CLOSE ENCOUNTER
(you can sing this)
So friendly and forthright--
Speaks her mind with no fear.
Refreshingly honest--
Glad I did lend an ear.
Her youth was deprived,
Yet she struggled through life.
Thoughts ran through my mind--
Might this be a perfect wife?
I would love and adore her,
Keep her safe from all harm.
Yet something deep inside me
Did sound an alarm.
While I longed to hold her tightly,
Like I'd found a new-born pup--
I soon realized the problem:
She just wouldn't shut-up.
She wouldn't shut-up
She just wouldn't shut-up
If talking were like hockey,
She would win the Stanley Cup.
Her life story-- maybe interesting,
But more fit for a memoir,
Than someone trying to get lucky,
Getting drunk in a local bar.
On and on she would ramble,
Pretzel crumbs filled the air.
I searched for an excuse
To get out of my chair.
Finally, I managed an interruption--
So she' d focus on me,
As I made well-known motions
Of my need to go pee.
In the men's room, I huddled--
I'd absorbed way too much info.
The one recourse I had,
Was to climb out the window.
I ran down the street--
Afraid she'd discover me walking
While my ears took several days
To lose the sound of her talking.
Now a night seldom passes,
That I don't want her back,
Until my subconscious disgustedly taunts me:
"Yackity--yackity--yackity--yack!"
"Yackity--yackity--yackity--yack!"
"Yackity--yackity--yackity--yack!"
"Yackity--yackity--yackity--yack!"
No way could I handle that all night in the sack.
"Yackity--yackity--yackity--yack!"
"Yackity--yackity--yackity--yack!"
"Yackity--yackity--yackity--yack!"
If they made better ear plugs...
I still wouldn't want her back.

my finger at a distance of 5cm ! ( I have a lot of courage when there is a glass-shield in between! )
Petrie the cockatiel real close up. Normally you wouldn't want to be this close to Petrie 'cos he'd rip your eyes out but he's sooooo pretty.

Thats Tara having some fun on the beach............
I really like this one, even though the composition is slightly off, but i love the tones in it.
Nah! She was just picking her nose! This made me chuckle.....even other great ape species can have bad habits!
This photo is through a glass window at the Sumatran Orangutan Sanctuary, looking up high at this beautiful adult female Orangutan, sitting up very high.
Shortly after this photo, she performed amazing acrobatic moves to reach and gather some food, placed even higher.
Once widespread throughout the forests of Asia, orang-utans are now confined to just two islands, Sumatra and Borneo. There are two genetically distinct species: the Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii) and the Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus). The two species show slightly different physical characteristics. Sumatran orangutans have lighter hair and a longer beard than their Bornean relatives, and Sumatran males have narrower cheekpads. Both species are highly endangered due to habitat loss and poaching.
The orangutan is one of our closest relatives in the animal kingdom, sharing 96.4% of our DNA. Indigenous peoples of Indonesia and Malaysia call this ape "Orang Hutan" which literally translates as "Person of the Forest".
Orangutans are unique in many respects. They are the only Great Ape in Southeast Asia, and indeed the only Great Ape found outside Africa. They are the only "red" ape, and the only strictly arboreal ape, meaning that they spend their lives in the forest canopy, even building nests in the trees in which to sleep. The other Great Apes (chimpanzees, bonobos and gorillas) do climb and build nests in the trees, but tend to spend their lives on the ground.
Orangutans primarily eat fruit, and spend up to 60% of their time foraging and eating in order to get enough energy.
Orangutans are highly intelligent and gentle animals. They use tools in the wild and have excellent memories to make mental maps of their forest home in order to find fruiting trees throughout the seasons.
Females can grow to 1.3 metres in height and weigh about 45kg. The males are larger, growing to 1.8 metres tall and weighing up to 120kg.
Physical description
Sumatran orang-utans have a long red/ginger coat. They have long facial hair, unlike their Bornean counterparts. Orang-utans are the largest arboreal (tree-living) mammals. Males may not develop cheek pouches and throat sacks until they are 20 years old and even then it may not happen at all.
Orangutans breed more slowly than any other primate, with the female producing a baby on average only once every 7-8 years. Infants are dependent on their mothers for at least five years, learning about survival in the forest. Orangutans live for around 45 years in the wild, and a female will usually have no more than 3 offspring in her lifetime. This means that orangutan populations grow very slowly, and take a long time to recover from habitat disturbance and hunting.Melbourne Zoo has set up a forest of poles for the orangutans and gibbons to use, simulating a real wooded forest. This sort of forest has been pioneered for use in Sumatra in special reserves set up as rehabilitation centres for injured, sick or orphaned orang-utans to build up survival skills before being released back into the wild.
Sumatran orang-utans are more sociable than their Bornean relatives, due in part to the mast fruiting of the fig trees, where large groups come together to feed. Orang-utans are long-lived and females tend to only give birth after they reach 15 years of age.
Because of increased availability, the diet of Sumatran orang-utans has a higher percentage of pulpy fruit and figs compared to that of Bornean orang-utans.

lesson learned: never take a close up without proper make up, no matter how perfect the skin is.. digi-cams reveal everything!
strobists:
one diy ring light in front of the model, one optical slave behind at minimum power.

still need this flower's details....
Bromeliad – it is an Aechmea fasciata, commonly called a Silver vase, Exotic Brush or Urn plant. At this point in its life the plant slowly dies off while growing 'pups' (small plants) at its base. The pups can be potted up when the mother plant dies, and in two years the pups will bloom just like this one...info by flickr member LavenderBee..
