Mmmmmm let me see? Who was it who tore open two sachets of cat food, ate the lot and then puked all over the floor so I got to step in it when I came home last night? Oh yes I know who it was. He is such a glutton. We have a very small house so the boxes of cat food are often left out. Everything had to be locked away this morning before I left the house. I am going to have to buy a 'cat safe' to store the food in.
Lola is still with us ( and sometimes our neighbour). I have put posters up in the local shop with a photo of her but have heard nothing yet.
No plans for the weekend so we will go with the flow
Happy Furry Friday everyone
Wishing you a happy weekend
Call me a glutton for punishment, but I really enjoy photographing Spaceship Earth with a telephoto (or a super-telephoto) as much as I enjoy shooting it with an ultra-wide angle lens. The Alucobond has such personality that you can't capture wide, but it shows up when you're tight.
Addison, my bad girl...she is fiery, mischievous and does whatever she wants, pretty much. Oh, and she cleans up quite well. I like this naughty, naughty chick...and I MIGHT enter her to Elo's Miss America contest at Simmuse...might...I won't get picked, but I might do it...I'm a glutton for punishment. :-)
Clash of the titans, Lackford lakes. This glutton tried to swallow its quarry for nearly an hour. I do not know the end result, I imagine the bird either choked to death, or sunk. Something special to witness though. I was preparing to leave the hide, when this battle popped up in front.
Parasitic nesting cowbird was actually doing pretty well finding food on his own, but he still wanted more! Definite glutton.

Here is my first series of "Hummer wars". Hummingbirds of all varieties are amazingly territorial and will chase each other to no end when they feel threatened or guarding "Their" feeder or flowers. Like many other small birds and mammals, I find the challenge of capturing these speed demons in pairs very rewarding. It certainly rates as one of the most difficult behaviors to photograph, as many of my photographer friends can attest to, but l am a glutton for punishment!
Not really fair of me to label this gecko a glutton, as this is a modest meal, and the only meal I've seen it eat. They move amazingly fast when going after prey, and then shake their heads violently once they've caught something. Some of the blur in this shot is due to the gecko head-shaking, and the rest is my technique ;-)
I just love these little flyers and last night while walking the dogs around the house, low and behold I was blessed to be in the presence of my favorite insect. It was clearly stuck on a web and I was not going to let my friend go down by death by spider. I gently preyed him away from the web on the wall. Then the glutton for punishment had to fly back into it. We went about 4 rounds of this and finally I got my little friend in both hands and walked down the driveway to set the little flyer free.
I am a glutton when it comes to these chocolate waffer cookies ... yummy!

Thank you all so much for all of your comments, faves and views, I appreciate each and every one =)
I'll be suprised if anyone else knows or remembers this guy, I don't know too much about him myself, I just really like his music I recently discovered. I don't know what he's doing now, or if he's still alive though. Making him was pretty easy, he looked strangely similar to Hugo Strange, so I modified his head slightly to match more, probably could have done better with the 3D goatee, still not a bad fig though.
My sweetie loves me when I have food in my hands, especially human food. She is a snob when I have nothing to offer for her belly, unless she wants my lap. But, she senses when I am sad or in distress of sorts, and she comes to sit or lie down by me. She is my confidant and she never tells on me! And she is a cutiepie albeit a chubby one - like me!
CC, you expected to see her photo, didn't you?

The lady was so busy on this flower that she gave me ample opportunity for a mug-shot!
Note: I shoot NEF (Nikon RAW format), which I sometimes crop to get an attractive picture. So I did with this one: what you see here is maybe one fifteenth of the original photo! This is my solution for not having a decent macro lens...

De (zwerf)afvalzuiger Glutton wordt geproduceerd en gecommercialiseerd door het bedrijf van de ontwerper: Lange Christian S.A. Deze in marketing afgestudeerde autoliefhebber kwam op een dag op het idee om voor de straatvegers een zuiger te ontwerpen voor alle soorten afval.Hij bracht een antwoord op de behoefte aan schonere steden en gewaardeerde reinigingsteams die dankzij geschikt materiaal gemotiveerd zijn.
The Glutton waste vacuum cleaner is a mobile, very easy to handle and self-propelled machine, able to collect all kinds of waste that can pass through a tube 12.5cm in diameter.
It deals efficiently with both industrial and urban waste: paper, cardboard, cigarette packets and butts, cans and glass, plastic or metal bottles, dog faeces, dead leaves, waste trapped in tree grills, wood, steel and aluminium chips etc.

me: and why don't you like coffee?
her: because it's dark,... like my soul,...
me:... alrighty then,...
me: and sneezes?
her: because it fucks with my thug.
buttery: you should see her sneeze,... it really does fuck with her thug.
------------------------------
you know how some people are born into greatness while others are unwillingly thrust into it?
Daisy is of the latter,.... she will go on to do something truly epic, in one way or another,... but it will be because everyone else would fuck it up from being afraid.
She's tougher than she gives herself credit for,... and yet so much more delicate than she looks.
She'll always be the girl that I make faces at when I see her put sugar on her rice.
except this Friday,... i promised i wouldnt make faces and that I'd try sugar on my rice,....
I'm a glutton for punishment I am....
Glutton willow tit enjoying the feeders installed on the shore of Schlachtensee, in the Grunewald forest, west of Berlin.
Winter is definitely one of the best periods to get close to willow tits, which otherwise are relatively shy and do not let people approach so easily.
Competing with nuthatches, great & blue tits plus a couple of bold spotted woodpeckers for the seeds abandonned by some nature friendly local people ...

Happy Weekend, everyone!
While driving the Leek to Buxton road we found ourselves stopped with the road closed and the Air Ambulance in attendance at an accident, I decided to cut across country to find another route home.
Here we pass Chrome Hill, This hill is a fossilized "reef knoll" which were once part of a coral reef in a shallow tropical sea during the Carboniferous period.
It was starting to go dark my car headlights are on with the temperature showing minus 2c, we were surprised when looking at our photos later and enlarged to see two or three walkers up on top of the hill.
With the wind chill factor It felt freezing outside.
The Phone Box now looks to be having a New Beginning, previously I have seen it painted grey, supposedly to blend in with the landscape, I like it better in red.
Web info
The “grey telephone box” at Glutton Bridge is a classic K6 kiosk on the lane between Earl Sterndale and Longnor, beside the bridge over the River Dove. For many years it was painted grey rather than the standard red, which led locals to nickname it “the Grey Box”, a name picked up in village newsletters and by photographers. It has since been repainted red, but survives as a much‑photographed rural landmark paired with a pole‑mounted post box.
Gulo gulo
The wolverine (/ˈwʊlvəriːn/) (also spelled wolverene), Gulo gulo (Gulo is Latin for "glutton"), also referred to as the glutton, carcajou, skunk bear, or quickhatch, is the largest land-dwelling species of the family Mustelidae. It is a stocky and muscular carnivore, more closely resembling a small bear than other mustelids. The wolverine, a solitary animal,[1] has a reputation for ferocity and strength out of proportion to its size, with the documented ability to kill prey many times larger than itself.
The wolverine is found primarily in remote reaches of the Northern boreal forests and subarctic and alpine tundra of the Northern Hemisphere, with the greatest numbers in northern Canada, the US state of Alaska, the mainland Nordic countries of Europe, and throughout western Russia and Siberia. Its population has steadily declined since the 19th century owing to trapping, range reduction and habitat fragmentation. The wolverine is now essentially absent from the southern end of its European range.

Maybe I'm putting out too much seed? Or, maybe some birds are just gluttons?!
This is a tufted titmouse, almost unrecognizable here.

Hope is a subtle glutton,
He feeds upon the fair;
And yet, inspected closely,
What abstinence is there!
His is the halycon table
That never seats but one,
And whatsoever is consumed
The same amounts remain

Every once in a while, I cannot resist the temptation to place a rather cliched image. THis is hardly the most original shot of an African sunset, but in my defense, it is quite pretty! In case you are a glutton for punishment, here is a slightly different shot of the same tree www.flickr.com/photos/petefoley/6246688266/in/photostream
This build was a pain to complete! I tried to recreate Guzzlord's many wacky design details as well as possible. It may not be 100% accurate in proportions, but I think I was able to capture this Ultrabeast's essence pretty well. His whole mouth cavity glows in the dark, which is pretty cool.

Boy, I must be a glutton for punishment for tonight I shot at Hole in the Wall Beach at high tide. The last time I did that, I had a serious accident. So how the heck did I find myself there again under similar conditions? Well . . .
A passing storm brought the promise of drama to our sunny shores here in Santa Cruz for the first time in about a week. The clear skies, along with the fact the my car has been in the shop, kept me from shooting for the longest time in a while: going on 9 days. NINE!! Yikes!
Anyway, got my car back from the shop and saw a whole world of intriguing clouds out over the ocean; nothing was going to keep me inside tonight. I checked the tide levels and saw that they were fairly high, which more or less ruled out Hole in the Wall Beach, aka my favorite place in the whole area. But somehow I still found myself pulling into the parking lot if only to "check it out."
I tromped on down to the beach and saw that there was quite a lot of sand piled up since my last visit, which made the arch much easier to pass through. It was still a race against the waves back up around the side of the cliffs but a fair bit of sprinting, hooting, and hollering kept me ahead of the salt water.
I wasn't sure where the best conditions for sunset would be so I clambered up onto the rocks at the south end of the beach where there are a million and one things to shoot. And boy did I have a frikkin' field day out there.
The lighting conditions were constantly changing and I shot composition after composition. I almost filled up my memory card, which is something I never do any more. Towards the end of the evening I was shooting a massive storm cell ruddily illuminated by the sun's last rays when a sneaker wave ricocheted off of a rock 40 feet in front of me and somehow flew backwards through the air to land entirely on my chest.
Ahh, sigh. It isn't a night at Hole in the Wall if you don't come home soaking wet.
Should be lots of sweet shots posted here over the next few days. Thanks for looking!
