Here is a little of the color I found hiking West Fork on Friday. It's still pretty sporadic, I'm going to try again this coming weekend. I also plan on another trip to the Grand Canyon. Not IN the Canyon, just to the Canyon! Actually, I was thinking of maybe going down to the 3 mile rest stop and back just to see if it was really that tough, or if it was because I had already hiked 14 miles. Or I might just sit at the Bright Angel Trailhead and laugh and point at people.
Next weekend will be my last in Arizona, at least for awhile. I'm heading home to Arkansas for a visit.
I took my little dog Macy for a short hike yesterday. She is SO out of shape. After about 1/2 mile on flat ground, she looked like I did coming up the Grand Canyon. I carried her most of the way back. She didn't mind at all. I think if she'd had her summer haircut she would have done a lot better.
Metallica Tuesday! I'm getting amped.

A few days ago I photographed South Fork Tieton Falls using several different shutter speeds and from a couple of slightly different angles. Light was wrong for good photos. Most of the waterfall was in the shade but some parts of the photo are in the bright sun. I used slow shutter speeds on some of the photos to blur the water. IMG_8476
A rare kitchen close up for me and the shadows of our 5 kitchen lights seemed to create a good effect.
No, just ordinary table forks "zapped" with the Tangled FX App to give them a bit of a "shock!"

The fork-tailed drongo, also called the common drongo, African drongo, or savanna drongo (Dicrurus adsimilis), is a small bird that can be found across the Afrotropical realm of continental Africa, excepting the Congolian rainforests and Upper Guinean forests. They are a passerine, part of the family, Dicruridae, with four recognized subspecies. Physically this species is characterized with a narrow fork-shaped tail, red-brownish eyes, and black plumage throughout all of his body. As an omnivorous species, its diet consists of small insects, composing of butterflies, grasshoppers and beetles, besides fruit, including those of Azadirachta indica and Moringa oleifera.
The fork-tailed drongo is known for his ability to deceptively mimic other bird alarm calls in order for a certain animal to flee the scene so he can steal their food. They are also notorious for displaying an aggressive and fearless behaviour by attacking and chasing off much larges animals, including birds of prey. When their nest or young are threatened. Due to his extensive range and stable population, the fork-tailed drongo is classified by the IUCN Red List as an least-concern species.
The fork-tailed drongo is a common and widespread resident breeder in Africa south of the Sahara. These insect-eating birds are usually found in open forests or bush, and are tolerant of arid climates. Its range was formerly considered to include Asia, but the Asian species is now called the black drongo
The fork-tailed drongo is 25 cm long and has short legs. They are medium sized and usually weigh about 50 grams. Males are mainly glossy black, although their wings are duller. Females are similar but less glossy. It is large-headed with well-developed rictal and nasal bristles, which are used as sensory organs. The rectrices curve outwards, forming the forked tail for which the species is named. The hooked bill is black and heavy, and the eye is red.
The call is a metallic strink-strink. The fork-tailed drongo uses alarm calls to steal food from birds and animals such as meerkats. They make drongo-specific calls as well as mimicked calls. The mimicked calls help them while they target other animals that are eating food. The animals flee and leave their food behind. Once they are gone, the drongo steals it. Vocal at dawn and dusk.

I've had this one up my sleeve for a while just waiting for an occasion like this. A two day and two night company conference and a 5 hour drive back home has left me a little tired!

Alice came to a fork in the road. 'Which road do I take?' she asked. 'Where do you want to go?' responded the Cheshire Cat. 'I don't know,' Alice answered. 'Then,' said the Cat, 'it doesn't matter.

The fork of vevey sits in lake Geneva Switzerland, the town is also the place where charlie Chaplin died. The fork was originally only a temporary exhibit but proved such a hit, was granted a permanent home in the town, it's a very surreal sight!
Took another visit to Roaring Fork Falls located near the junction of NC80 and the Blue Ridge Parkway. After all the rain we've had recently, the falls were really flowing harder than I've ever seen. The water was quite high as well limiting where I could move around safely. The pace of the flow also created a draft which kept nearby leaves and branches moving. Not a good thing for long exposure photography. But it felt so good to get in a hike and practice with my new camera. I'll be heading up Hawksbill Mountain soon to try to catch the short-lived blooms on the Carolina Rhododendrons.

Underneath the waterfalls in the Right Fork of North Creek Canyon in Zion National Park. This canyon often gets overlooked due to its proximity to the much more popular Left Fork of North Creek (i.e. The Subway). It's a nice hike to this spot and chances are good you won't see anyone else.

UPDATE: Flickr Explore #60 for October 18th! Thank you everyone for the comments and good words; they are much appreciated!
Bring on the colors!! I was super excited to see the vibrancy of the yellows along Boone Fork Creek. Despite what many are calling a sub-par color show this season, Boone Fork Creek never lets me down! After an uneventful sunrise behind low hanging clouds seen atop Rough Ridge, I hiked back down, jumped in the truck, and motored to an access point where I could hike the creek bed of Boone Fork. I could have literally spent several days photographing just this little stretch--really incredible! I would highly recommend a short walk alongside Boone Fork if you're going to be in the Grandfather Mountain area this coming weekend...

Hey Flickr,
I´ve had a nice day :) When I was at school today, we saw an irish movie at the english lessons. And the irish accent sounds quite funny to me, for example the do not say "Sir" - it sounds more like "Sorr" :D
and what led me to this idea was their pronouncing of "f*ck" :D it actually really sounds like "fork" ;)
So after all this picture includes the steritype, that the irish pronounce english as hell ;)
So. what the fork: Stereotype # 5 :)
Have a nice day, Flickr! :)
Almost every day I see the fork in the fence while I am walking my dog across the meadows. And I wonder where she comes from and what is she doing there?
