This juvenile Eared Grebe gave me a great show flapping and stretching. Perhaps he was exercising his wings for the long flight south for his winter vacation. Taken at Weed Lake, east of Calgary, Alberta. I will catch up with everyone later.

Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.

Not to worry, they all came back to the same spot ten seconds later

Alright class, good warmup! Now everyone stretch like this!

Hope you liked my last Flickr pic – I’ve managed to cover up my modesty now with this old jacket from Addams. I really love the way Second Life looks at the moment with the new Bento heads and some amazing appliers from a variety of different stores. When I compare myself with how I looked when I first entered this wonderful world there is no comparison whatsoever – I really do feel now like I have an alternate existence here that’s almost as vivid as the real thing. Just wish it would get less laggy!!

I have always granted myself the freedom to exercise artistic license and pursue whatever brings me joy. Currently, digital AI artwork fulfills that purpose, at least for the time being.

the orb weaver spiders have constructed millions of small webs on the mountain..hoping to catch what few insects are still active...mostly they are capturing bubbles of dew...

On Gress beach. Thanks to Ros and Mike for allowing us to borrow Aynuk for a few hours !

From a few years ago when we were exercising the ghosts and old paint from an early 1900’s house restoration.

The Retina IIa adds so much atmosphere especially when it’s an underexposed and slightly out of focus negative.

It's a good walk from the shore to the end of the Ventura Pier. 1958 feet (~597 meters). For Americans, that's over six football fields.
