Have shown this image before but blowing my own trumpet a bit here. Just learnt that this shot has won a special award in the New Shoots category of The International Garden Photographer of the Year. Well chuffed :)
No graphics please.
Women’s barrel racing is a rodeo event in which a horse and rider attempt to complete a cloverleaf pattern around preset barrels in the fastest time. The event tests both the athletic ability of the horse and the horsemanship skills of the rider. Here’s a shot of one competitor at last week's Super Kicker Rodeo during the Oakland County Fair in Davisburg, Michigan.

Sans - The chillest skeleton around.
Frisk Chara - The one who fell down a hole.
Papyrus - The coolest skeleton around (as evidence by his shirt).
I'm not sure whether or not I'll be making any more figures from this game, but if you want me to, let me know and I'll consider it more.
Our Harvest Fest was a great big hit with our backyard visitors.
This little Chipmunk was determined to stuff that pecan into his mouth - but eventually faced the fact not everything can be stuffed into those cheeks.
For all I know these are probably the first pecans, walnuts and almonds he's ever seen but that didn't keep him from collecting everything he could find. I can only imagine what's been crammed into those tunnels of his. Miles and piles of assorted nuts!

These athletes were racing against each other to practice before the real race.
I've tried canoeing, but not this kind. It looks like it's harder and require more strength.

Midnight still a little emaciated here. Poor kitten went into cardiac arrest during her spay surgery, but was successfully resuscitated, and the vet went over and beyond by taking the cat home with her to observe overnight. Midnight is now thriving and has a wonderful forever home!
A very focused rider at the Kop Hill Climb 2017, Princess Risborough.
It was an event worth going to. There were so many cars and bikes, old classics to modern speedsters. It was a real motoring treat!
I hadn't tried too many panning shots before this. And I have tried a very close-up crop here.

Sunday Feb 27th along the Canadian border and I'm within range of my U.S. cousins, barely a whisker from the three distinct shapely buttes of Montana's Sweet Grass Hills popping up in the distance. Today, it feels like we're breathing the same air. An exchange of sorts.
It's eerie quiet, I can hear my heart beating, a nearby gas compressor station reminding a sign of life. The Range/Township gravel roads are heavily drifted and deep in areas, caution always needed. The light is fading and slipping across the horizon, a vague sunset barely announcing the close of another day. The carpet of snow is crisp and supports a full body weight.
This ramshackle 20th century skeleton homestead house is THE Alberta prairie symbol, you'll find them many places, held together by sheer determination considering the area is notorious for winds.
"The Sweet Grass Hills are notoriously windy. The combination of lying on the east side of the Continental Divide and their elevation can really make them a very windy place. All the more so since there is absolutely nothing to block the wind except for the occasional barbed wire fence. During the winter, this area is also very cold - even without the wind chill."
To the left is a small wooden cross marking an undistinguished grave. I only leave my footsteps in the snow, nothing changed from the way I've found this icon. Yet somehow with each visit and adventure to these broad and flat prairies, my visual senses are forever expanded.....the metaphor of photography undeniably changes ME.
For another lovely backside perspective, visit.....

Based on Anne Holm's novel North to Freedom, I Am David chronicles the struggles of a 12-year-old boy (Ben Tibber) who manages to flee a Communist concentration camp through sheer will and determination. All he has in his possession is a loaf of bread, a letter to deliver to someone in Denmark and a compass to help get him there. Co-stars James Caviezel and Joan Plowright.

Fynn seemed to be posing nicely here but in fact he was preparing an attack on his brother Linus who was behind me. Although Fynn is much smaller than Linus he wins their little disputes every time. Linus may be stronger but Fynn is dominant and determined and thinks that fair play is for wimps. :)
One of the wonderful joys of childhood is the experience of learning to ride a bike. This young girl was struggling a bit as she repeatedly found herself in the grass. Each time, she would pause, dismount, and push her bike back onto the sidewalk, only to venture a bit further before wobbling back into the grass.
I observed her for around 10 minutes, and it was clear she had no intention of giving up. Meanwhile, Mom and Dad sat just a few feet away at a picnic table, engrossed in their mobile phones. Perhaps they were sharing pictures of her on Facebook.
