Her thoughts turned to this wonderful mix and how much the world could learn from these beautiful creatures. The lens found this special group of geese and she pondered for several minutes about differences and acceptance...
A medium-sized goose that breeds on the arctic tundra, the Snow Goose travels south in very large, high-flying, noisy flocks. The swirling white of a descending flock suggests snow, but among the white birds are darker individuals. Until recently, the Blue Geese, as the dark birds were called, were considered a separate species. They are now recognized as merely a dark form (or "morph") of the Snow Goose.
Iandra Castle near Greenethorpe. George and Elizabeth Greene were settlers with a difference when they purchased their 32,000 acre property in 1878. They built their first homestead named Mount Oriel House in 1880. Greene was a NSW politician and a man with ideas. By the time he died in 1911 his Mount Oriel estate had over 20,000 acres was sown in crop. His obituary said he came to a landscape of bush and transformed it into a granary. His estate used 700 horses and employed over 600 people plus various chaffcutters, thrashers etc and the woolshed sheared 30,000 sheep. He came to NSW in 1847 with his parents and spent most of his life on pastoral properties in the west before he purchased Iandra. He dreamed of a medieval feudal system to grow vast areas of crop with little labour. He was regarded as the most important wheat farmer in Australia along with William Farrer who developed his rust resistant wheat type. Greene claims to have introduced the concept of share farming to Australia. He provided the land and took half of the value of the crop but the share farmer bought the seed, fertiliser and provided the labour to sow and reap the crop. But did he? Share cropping was common in the American south after the Civil War and Elizabeth Onlsow (nee MacArthur of Camden Park NSW) introduced share farming on their diary property in 1887. Greene established his own village with houses for the fifty sharefarmers he contracted to work his lands. He started with just one share farmer in 1891 and gradually expanded the system. His estate manager, named Leonard l’Anson came from Waterloo in South Australia and members of the Freebairn family from Alma in SA also moved to Iandra to be share farmers. To go with his village George Greene needed a castle like a medieval lord of the manor. Iandra castle was built in 1908 with 57 rooms and castellations and towers but the construction was decidedly modern with reinforced concrete walls. The style was slightly Gothic but the interior was very Edwardian with wood panelling and Art Nouveau stained glass panels etc. The external concrete was rendered to appear like stone. It cost around £63,000 to build. The property included stables, a manager’s residence, outbuildings, blacksmith shop, sheds etc. Near the house was a chapel built in 1886 and a cemetery. When George Greene died in 1911 he was buried here. The estate was partially broken up in 1914 and most share farmers were able to buy their 640 acre blocks. I’Anson continued as manager for Elizabeth Greene until her death in 1927. He was then able to buy 2,500 acres and the castle. Later Iandra castle was used as the Methodist Boys Home from 1954 to 1974. The Methodist Boys Farm School for those aged 15 to 18 took in first time offenders in the criminal justice system. They were taught farming skills. The Methodist Church sold the centre in 1974. The next owner was David Morris who restored the castle and more recent owners are Rod and Bev Kershaw. Iandra castle is thus one of the most unusual and surprising heritage properties in Australia. Iandra Castle near Greenethorpe.

It was requested I take some photos showing the differences between my resin Kinoko Juice Kiki (Frozen Milk skin) and my Azone Hello Kikipop ABS/PVC Kiki who was released as a peachy normal skin. My resin Kiki has suede only in her neck, and so poses as she would "right out of the box."
Both can raise their arms palms up and down, however the resin Kiki's shoulders have more free range of motion. It is advised on Kikipop's paperwork to not push her shoulders beyond a comfortable range. Instead, rotate the arm so that it can be moved further.
Resin Kiki's biggest advantage over Kikipop is her thigh rotation range. Kikipop is only able to move her thighs forward and back.
Kikipop might have slightly better neck range. It looks much superior because she actually HOLDS it better. My resin Kiki came with sueding in her neck, but perhaps with hot glue sueding she'd be able to keep her head the same way Kikipop does. Resin Kiki's neck is the same as most BJDs, Kikipop is a ball peg similar to what I've seen on Nendoroids.
Both came with flat and grasped hands. Resin Kiki's attach by magnet, Kikipop by peg.
Difference creates identity;
identity challenges power;
power becomes tyranny when it tries to erase difference.
Can you find ten differences between the two images? This was one of my favorite childhood activities. You'll have to go big.
I spotted this woman and thought I'd take a shot and put something on the backside of her sign. Not sure what was on the front, but I believe she was seeking donations.
These Gritstone rock formations are towards the western edge of the Kinder Plateau in the Peak District National Park. Weathered and eroded by the elements over millennia they provide a fascinating moonscape with endless photo opportunities.
One aspect of this fabulous obsession is the desire to play with style. The top is a simple casual item and I couldn't decide whether to match it with leggings or a denim skirt. So a quick change and a concerted effort to adopt the same pose on the stairs gives rise to this pair of pictures.
I won't say which I like best yet
PS the lens cap was to remind me which step to sit on
Another attempt to get this dress to work. Previously I tried this with nude style tights. Here I am wearing a brown pair and I think it works better - the link takes you to the previous ensemble.

Another Muskovy duck from the flock we encountered on Friday. Each individual was unique, yet they all traveled together. People can learn so much from animals.
A tiny, tiny bird. It felt as though a large hornet was buzzing around the garden. It is up to 7 cm long and under 3 grams in weight. Just delightful. Look at the difference in the sexes. Previous image.
Mental blue hues they have illuminated the The Glasgow Bridge with...
Edinburgh puts its landmarks in darkness Glasgow celebrates them... Thats what makes the difference.
The background music in the video is a song by Bruce Springsteen "Loving You is a Mans Job" ...
Just some scenes from the Red Light District in Amsterdam. The Red Light District may soon be a thing of the past as the city is moving forward with plans to chase out the sex shops and hookers and transform the area into upscale shops and upscale housing similar to the transformation of Times Square. However, unlike the Old Times Square when it was known for being seedy; the Red Light District with all its sex shops and legalized hookers is a major tourist attraction for the city. Hookers are legalized workers in the Red Light District and are like any other business. So, there is a difference between Times Square of old New York and the Red Light District in Amsterdam.
Here is an article that highlights the Old Times Square and the current transformed Times Square

I know this isn't the standard King Penguin photo but I thought there was something quite appealing about it. I don't think this would have worked with any other birds. It is only because penguins are so human-like. Even the height difference adds something as you instinctively know which one is male and which one's female. This was photographed on the beach at St Andrews on the island of South Georgia in the South Atlantic.
The Queen's Young Leaders Programme is searching for inspirational young people across the Commonwealth who are making a difference. Today at Buckingham Palace The Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry launched the scheme and had some fun with social media.
The Karrayyu are a pastoralist tribe from Ethiopia living in the Awash Valley, around the volcano of Mount Fentale and the Metehara Plain. They belong to the larger ethnic group of the Oromos, who represent the majority (32 per cent) of the ethiopian population. It is said the Karrayyu arrived in the area 200 hundreds years ago, during the so called « great expansion », of the Oromo, during which Oromo settled in different parts of Ethiopia,. This led to cultural diversification. In spite of local differences between those subgroups, they share the same Cushistic language (Afaan Oromo) religion (Waaqeffata) and governance system (Gada). The Karrayyu are one of the last Oromo ethnic subgroups to follow these rules and to preserve the original Oromo lifestyle and culture, and its pastoralist way of life.
There are only 10 000 to 55 000 Karrayyus (because of their nomadic lifestyle it is difficult to have precise figures) whereas they used to be 200 000 at the beginning of the 20th century. Karrayyu are on the verge of instinction. Such a drop was due to the persecutions the Oromos, including the Karrayyu people had to face during Menelik’s II reign (1889-1913). This emperor, from the Amhara ethnic group led the unification of Ethiopia, and imposed the Amhara rule to the Oromos. Later, during the 20th century, the Karrayyu were deprived of most of their lands because of the establishment of national parks and modern farms. In the last four decades, Karrayyu’s were dispossed from 70 per cent of their land, including their shrines, by the government to make sugar and cotton plantations.
The Karrayyu are also famous for the female genital cutting the women have to face and suffer from. According to the 2005 Ethiopian Demographic Health Survey, more than 74 per cent of women between the age of 15 and 49 have undergone some form of genital mutilation and cutting. Parents believe this practice guarantees their young daughter’s virginity, which is a prerequisite for an honourable marriage.

On 6 July 2005, London won its bid to host the 2012 Olympics. The capital celebrated, into the evening.
This is my picture story... it started on 6 July. After work, I took my mobile phone, a k700i, for an evening wander around Trafalgar Square. The following evening I returned, retracing my steps, retaking some of the images.
I didn't know it when I took this photo, but it turned out that the next day, 7 July, was to be a very different one.
I have made a set, starting with this image and with the same title as this shot: 'What a difference a day makes' Probably best to view it as a slideshow, although there are comments throughout, because it's really a narrative.
The pictures, taken on my mobile, are a kind of tale... my story... over those two days in July 2005.
This particular photo, taken in the late evening light of 6/7/2005, was the eve of 7/7... I nearly deleted it... the timing is one of those flukes... but perhaps it's a symbol of hope.
