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 =)
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 ;-)
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....

. . . a glutton
(actually, a goat
without a coat)
Happy Weekend, everyone!
Maybe I'm putting out too much seed? Or, maybe some birds are just gluttons?!
This is a tufted titmouse, almost unrecognizable here.
........................................ Large Size is a Major Hoot and a Must See!! ........................................
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

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.
I shoot this photo in the wildernes between Finnish and Russian border in June 2017
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

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!

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.

"Battling beauties!"
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!

A Beautiful circular walk today, starting at Earl Sterndale (5 miles South of Buxton), walking to Crowdicote then on to Longnor village then to Glutton Bridge, here are two wonderful hills, Chrome Hill and Parkhouse Hill. Returning to Glutton Bridge then over the hill back to Earl Sterndale, 6.5 miles in total. Beautiful sunshine and breathtaking scenery right in my own "back yard".
First......Parkhouse Hill and upper Dove Valley
Second......Chrome Hill
Third.......Parkhouse and Chrome Hills from Glutton Bridge.

This juvenile glutton is in the process of swallowing a moth, and its foster parent by the look of it. Archive not loaded before from my Kingy site, Suffolk.
or perhaps I should title this one "Carbo loading"
Our daily Challenge: Something You Dislike. Poor table manners!
I had a soccer game last night - last one of the season for my coed team. We rocked it!
Here we see a nesting gull trying to swallow a sculpin whole. See the tongue/body distortion to accomodate such a large catch. But I'm sure the waiting chicks were happy. Brave momma/poppa whichever. Near St.John's, NL.

I've been playing around with Lightroom and trying to figure it out because people seem to love it and they say it speeds up editing time. Right now all it's doing is slowing me down (though I'm pretty sure that's my fault not the program's) but I'm committed to giving it a shot.
