One of my favourite things in life - Charity Shop and Boot Sale hunting. Thought I would show you some of my recent finds - hope you like!
This is the "Get Pushed" challenge issued by syahrel azha hashim with the theme of "Lightbulb". I was given the freedom to shoot anything, but it had to include a lightbulb. Here's my take...
With the fresnel lens, this 1 kilowatt bulb produces a beam visible under favorable conditions up to 15 miles away. I really liked the glow from this angle. The shot in the comments, you can see that it has a completely different glow.
This lightbulb resides at the Point Piños Lighthouse located on the northern most tip of the Monterey Peninsula. This marks the entrance to Monterey Bay and a definite hazard to the Mariner. The stone lighthouse was put into service in February 1, 1855. Everything from the building, lenses and prisms are original. It is the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the west coast and is listed on the national register of historic places.
He had a wander around in the garden for a while and then decided to take a closer look at me. He jumped up onto this little pine border edging and gazed at me fluttering his little wings expectantly, but to no avail as I had nothing on me to give him. He was about 4ft away from me at this point :)
The Barb City Stompers played at Cornfest this year. While I'm all for trains, this was not the ideal location to put the band as they played at CornFest this year. Despite the engineer laying on the horn loud and proud, without missing a beat...the band played on.

Audrey is rising up--straight to the top: and it took her a while to get to the top of all those 12-inch stairs! Scrawny to Brawny all the way.
Getting close to nature.
Even oak trees need love and my niece was more than happy to oblige.

Helen, this is my submission to the "WOOD" photo challenge :>)
Getting into it: time for the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Three packs of stinky, gooey concoctions of herbs and whatnot are applied to different areas of my two legs. They are left on for four hours. After they have been taken off, the pain in each area has increased dramatically. Understandably, I asked them not to do that again.

Today I meet up with a person from Flickr who lives in New Zealand and we just happened to be at Surfers that same time. We have just had some lunch and now we are wanting to watch the feeding of the Pelicans here at back doors of the Charis Seafood shop. this all happen around 1.30pm except for Mondays.
The Pelicans start arriving hour or so before and wait around for their fed of fish. The fish carcass are tossed into the air, most get one fish and move off but some wait around for some more!.
as i went further up, i met two other climbers who were coming down from the summit. by then the clouds were all around us and they told me "it's horrible up there!" and were worried that i attempted to go up alone. i knew they were right, because you need crampons and maybe ice axes for the last part (i didn't have those with me) and also the wind became really really strong and sight was getting worse. i told them i would only go as far as there is solid rock for me to stand on and that's what i did. everything further would have been stupid.
so that was it, my ~85% climb of mt. taranaki. it definitely was fun, although i never had areal chance to make it to the top. if i ever come back to new zealand, i will do the whole thing! :]
the moment i was back at north egmont, i decided to do one of the tramps around the mountain. i went for the three day pouakai circuit. there will be some more pictures from this trip which will be the absolutely last of my new zealand pictures.. D':
The Marg boys do a crafty sashay to get their work done quick in Camphora so they can get on home on this short turning day.

I have not done any land art for quite a while now so I was pleased to be able to get out and do some today in the lovely Forest of Bowland.
The weather was very murky with low cloud when I got up this morning, it did not look very inspiring but I hoped it would be like yesterday and we would see the sun around lunch time which we did.
I was only about a third of the way through this sculpture when Richard informed me that I had put it on the wrong side of the tree where there would be no sun! I immediately threw a land art wobbly and said I was not doing it any more, mainly because I was very cold and my hands were stiff from being so cold, I had already done the Stick V sculpture and had also collected mud from the river so being told it was in the wrong place did not go down too well!!
I was persuaded to carry on regardless and to learn from my mistake the next time! I did carry on with it and started to relax as it took shape. By the time I had finished the sun had disappeared again anyway, so it did not make any difference in this particular sculpture, but I will take note next time where the sun is as I would have been so cross if I had missed it!
I had a good day and now I am looking forward to dinner and a glass of wine or two. Looking forward to the next land art day! :)
Another Run'ography shot from Cambria, California. With all the rain coming down right now I would have loved to post a rain shot but I do not have any worth posting, gotta work at it before it stops raining. Have a great Saturday and stay dry my friends.
This is a Sandhill Crane that I saw at Circle B ranch in Lakeland, Florida. They flew in and landed right in front of me and started vocalizing as I approached. I got the idea that they would prefer me to leave.
You wouldn't believe how loud they are. I was about 8-12 feet away and I got as I could with 300mm. They weren't really moving away, just side to side constantly turning away from me.
I also had to keep my eyes open and not fall in the water while I am looking through my viewfinder chasing and dancing around these birds, trying to get a photo. Ha!
