Percé (2006 Population 3,419) is a small village near the tip of the Gaspé Peninsula in Québec. It has a long history of being an important seasonal fishing centre under the French. Today the area is mainly a tourist location particularly well-known for the attractions of Percé Rock and Bonaventure Island.
Percé Rock is a natural rock formation located close to the shore facing the town. It is a natural tourist attraction for its size, color, and unusual door-like hole at one end the rock.

Bon Odori (盆踊り) is a popular dance in Japan to celebrate the spirits of the ancestors. Last weekend we went to the San Jose Japantown to attend the Obon Matsuri (festival). A street was blocked off, and a large group was dancing in an elongated circle in the street. Kids and adults wore yukata, a casual summer kimono.
I used the tripod as a pole to take a self-timed exposure with elevated POV. I processed the exposure into a balanced HDR photo.

Another outing for my crosshatched Quiz dress. Well, I say an outing... a night in but glammed up.

Hi to all friends, and thank you all for the comments, the facial expressions, like the smiley's ;-) , and for the invitations.
And I am sorry for not having added this note right away, but was too tired - so I left it for today.
The title - Nice - No comment - was the 1st thought after I finished with the image. It was meant as an answer to the gossip in our lives.
But what is gossiping really? For me gossip is talking about people without them knowing it. Sharing their info with others, about things you know and while promised not to tell - you still do. This image represents someone who is gossiping. And for me the only way to stop it is to tell the person who is telling you a gossip - "no comment", with, or without adding to it - "nice to know".
Have a nice week ahead friends and thank you all for your valuable comments
Comments are always welcome and favs most appreciated.

Peaceful Dove
Scientific Name: Geopelia striata
Description: The Peaceful Dove is a small, sturdy dove, with a long graduated tail and wedge-shaped wings. The eye-ring, eye and cere (the soft parts above the bill) are all blue-grey. The upper body is mainly brown-grey, with dark barring. The head and lower throat is a softer grey, with dark scallops. The throat is white and lower body pinkish. The feet are a deep pink. They are usually seen in pairs or small parties, never far from water. The flight is direct, low to the ground and undulating. Their call is very distinctive and is the source of one of their common names, 'Doodle-Doo'. They also may be called the Placid, Zebra or Barred Dove.
Similar species: The Peaceful Dove has a similar shape but is larger than the Diamond Dove, G. cuneata, and is much smaller than the Bar-shouldered Dove,G. humeralis, which has a bronze shoulder patch. They can also be distinguished by their characteristic calls.
Distribution: Peaceful Doves are found in Asia, south Burma and the Malay peninsula, through Indochina to eastern New Guinea and Australia, where it is widespread in the north west, north and eastern mainland. They have been widely introduced to islands.
Habitat: Peaceful Doves are found in open dry woodland with a grassy understorey and the edges of rainforest. In drier areas, they are often in woodland beside rivers, pandanus and vine thickets. They feed on the ground and roost in trees.
Seasonal movements: Peaceful Doves are sedentary, though some seasonal changes in distribution occur in the south and flocks may form briefly in some areas.
Feeding: Peaceful Doves forage on the ground in open, bare areas, in paddocks, beside roads and in gardens. They feed mainly on small seeds of grasses and sedges, and sometimes small insects. They need to drink at least twice a day.
Breeding: Peaceful Doves place their nests in trees or shrubs, including in garden and street trees. They build a small, flimsy platform of twigs, grasses and roots, which is built by both parents. Both parents also feed the young, with 'crop milk' or small seeds.
Calls: A musical 'doodle-doo' repeated often and a loud 'coo-lo-lue'.
Minimum Size: 20cm
Maximum Size: 24cm
Average size: 22cm
Average weight: 54g
Breeding season: August to April
Clutch Size: 2
Incubation: 14 days
Nestling Period: 16 days

In this photo meet Mouila and Mahale during feeding time at Sydney's Taronga zoo. A big crowd was there to see two week old Mahale who has only been visible to the public for three days. An excellent talk by the keeper and an amazingly calm mother and baby Western lowland gorillas captivated the crowd. It was great to see so many people interested and was a privelige to photograph these brilliant animals.
Below is some info copied off Taronga's web site:
Mahale the Western Lowland Gorilla:
Taronga Zoo's head Primate Keeper, Louise Grossfeldt, said: "Zoo breeding programs are critical for helping to insure against rapidly declining numbers in African countries where the bush meat trade, poaching and forest clearing continue to threaten the long-term survival of the species.
"Mouila, which means ‘African Fantasy', is our most experienced female. She lavishes attention on her offspring and is also mother of two other females in the group, ‘Kriba' and five year old ‘Mbeli'. The baby was sired by the magnificent silverback, Kibabu."
"We are all exceptionally pleased with the safe birth of this baby. The natural family structure and Kibabu's excellent leadership help us show visitors the remarkable and calm nature of these gentle vegetarians while explaining how important it is to help ensure a sustainable future for these proud apes.
"The infant is the second born into the group this year. Zoo-based breeding groups like Taronga's are increasingly vital following the recent announcement by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) at the International Primatological Society Conference in Edinburgh this month that almost half of the world's 634 primate species face extinction. Ebola Virus alone has reduced wild Western Lowland Gorilla numbers by 90% in some areas.
"This is Mouila's 6th infant and the 14th baby sired by ‘Kibabu', Taronga's impressive Silverback. Kibabu is a close-to-perfect leader and protector and he makes sure the inquisitive juveniles and aunties give the new mother and baby space and settling time," said Louise.
Summary of the year from Flickr - seems like I give a lot of comments (being co-admin of a group tends to do that), but not many faves - will have to do more faves in 24!
Comments are highly appreciated.

A few more pics and a collage from back in May. A long-time favourite, this dress, good for all occasions!
Hello! Lucky here!
I've always kept my comments to the barest minimum
because I know you guys don't come here to read my
blather, and I totally understand that, but I just have to
take a moment to say:
Is...
She not...
The...
Most beautiful woman...
In the whole world?
And, trust me, it isn't just on the outside, either.
On the inside, she is kind and loving and
compassionate and intelligent and genuinely
funny and...
I could go on and on and on, adjectives galore,
and none of them adequate.
Then, throw in seductive and passionate and
giving and willing to please and (ahem) "skilled,"
and... well, she can make you feel like you're a
lucky man. Indeed, very lucky.
(You guys have called me that, "Lucky", so
much that it is now my official nickname, lol!)
But I don't feel just lucky. Honestly, I think I am the
lucki-EST man alive.
I'll shut up now; you won't hear from me again
(probably); I'll just let my admiration and wonder
for this woman show through, hopefully, in the
photographs I take. I hope you enjoy looking at
them as much as we do creating them; it's great
fun. And a turn-on, too.
And thank you all for your comments and Flickrmails,
by the way; believe me when I promise that Donna
reads them all and they are all appreciated
Most Definitely, Most Sincerely,
--Lucky
My backyard.
12/29/2010
I had some time off between Christmas and New Years, so in between trips to Viera, Circle B and other hot spots, I spent some time in the backyard. We get quite a few visitors at our feeding stations, but the most exciting, by far, is the Ruby-throated Hummingbird.
I'm certain that we have a male who calls the yard home (as obviously documented above). There may also be a female, but I haven't seen both at the same time to be certain. I have seen the male chase off other hummers who have attempted to use the feeder, so I think I'll get another feeder for the front yard. Supposedly you can have two males in your yard if you separate the feeders by something large, like a house.
Anyway, getting this guy captured is not easy. Some professionals spend days setting up a blind, installing a fake colorful background, and substituting the feeder for a live flowering plant when they are ready to shoot. They also will deploy 4-6 remote flashes in order to light up the background and the hummer. There is nothing of that magnitude here. This is purely a budget operation, and I might add, a whole lot of fun when you get an image like this.
To take this image, I simply setup my tripod in the back yard, prefocus the distance to where I expect the hummer to hover, then wait. I sit back in a nice comfortable folding camp chair, usually with a cool beverage, and wait. I don't use a blind, but I give the hummer some time to get accustomed to me being in the backyard.
This hummer is pretty dependable. He'll visit the feeder every 10-15 minutes, and his actions are very predictable. One of his movements is to move backwards from the feeder, hover, then go back in for more nectar. By prefocusing on where I expect him to be, I just have to wait for him to make that movement, then I fire off 3-5 images in succession.
I'll save you the trip to the Exif data if your interested: 1/2000 @ 400mm, ISO 400, flashed. It helps that I usually start my stakeout when the afternoon sun hits the feeder without any shading. You can see some shading from trees in the background, but the hummer is out in the full sun. There are only a couple of hours in the day where the sun angle is just right to capture this guy. Even with the full sunlight and the flash, I still wasn't able to get the wings perfectly still. I could have probably done that if I had bumped the ISO to 800, but the noise on the 50D is really unacceptable at 800. I would lose too many details in post had I cranked it up.
I hope you enjoy this image as much as I have had taking it.
Thank you all for your support and comments.

Back at home again. Since it's getting much colder, I decided to wear my cosy purple dress which is quite thick material.
(Commenting should work now. )
I apologize that commenting is not turned on for my account. It was, but I think the new android app turned it off on me and there is no feature in the ui for me to fix that.
I'll hop on my laptop in the morning to see if I can fix it through my browser.
Ray Yourdon's comment on this photo: "Ike Yourdon, and the same deer."
I have no idea when or where this photo was taken
*********************************
To the best of my knowledge, most of the photos in this Flickr album were taken by my grandmother, Mabel Yourdon, during the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. Most of them depict scenes of everyday life in mining camps and small towns near the Utah-Colorado border. Some of them show hunting, fishing, and camping trips in unspecified parts of the American west. It appears that a few of them were taken in southern California, when Mabel and her husband Ike traveled out there to visit relatives.
I have no idea what kind of camera Mabel used for these photos, nor what kind of film. There probably wasn’t that much variety available in the 1920s, and she was not a “professional” photographer. So it may have been a Brownie and whatever B/W film Kodak was selling at the time.
My stepfather, Ray Yourdon, was born in 1922; and his older brother, Marvin, was born two years before that. You’ll see photos of Ray and Marvin when they were young boys, when they were in high school, and when they went off to join the Navy and the Marines to fight in World War II.
Somewhere around 2005, I asked Ray if he could tell me the details of some of the photos; where possible, I have included those details in the notes for the photos. Some of the photos obviously evoked pleasant memories, and I heard stories about minor day-to-day events in his life that I had never heard before. But we rarely got through more than a few pictures before he ran out of energy; and so many of the photos have no explanation at all.
At this point, my parents and grandparents are all gone. I have cousins who grew up in the same area where these photos were taken, and one or two of them are still in that area. They may be able to fill in a few of the details; otherwise, you’ll just have to accept these photos as a glimpse of what life was like nearly a hundred years ago ...
Any comments and favs are very much appreciated
