Peter wanted this particular rhododendron because it makes a particular chemical compound that he has been interested in during his scientific career. I don't remember what the compound is, and I don't particularly want to ask him, because I have no patience today for one of his chemistry lectures... They are always way over my head!!
I’d like to dedicate this shot to a good friend of mine William McIntosh. I have spent the last 4 months shooting as much as I can with Bill and trying to gleen info from him about his weather prediction skills and gain some insight about his frame of mind about photography. He is a master of weather prediction IMHO and I have always admired his tenacity which has netted him some absolutely fantastic captures from Yosemite National Park and the Pacific Northwest. Bill contacted me during the week to see if I was up for a Banzai run to Yosemite Valley as he was predicting a passage in the storm which would provide a high probability of misty/snowy conditions like seen in many of his postings from there. Of course Bill was right on the money as was shown from some of the webcams provided there. But unfortunately I had to decline as I was starting to get sick with the Flu and didn’t want to drag him down with me. Today he contacted me again to see if I was up for some shooting at Corona Del Mar but I was still trying to fight off the Flu and as painful as it was had to opt out again. Later, today, as I was digging through my folder of processed photos I found this shot and the pain of declination returned. Sorry Bill, I was more worried about getting you sick then worsening my own condition. LOL. Thanks for the invite my friend and hope you had a great day at CDM. If you would like to see William’s amazing photography, you can visit his stream here.

Tale of the Take…
This is a side view of the arch found at Corona Del Mar, If you wanted to get a full view through the arch you would need to scramble along the cliffsides base there at a specific tide level, I say specific because if you time it incorrectly you wouldn’t drown but you would have to spend a long, cold night on the rocks or call the Coast Guard to come “fish” you out which carries along an $800 dollar or better rescue charge. I’m still hoping that Bill will show me the specifics of entering here at a time that would be safe to enter and exit during the sunset. See what I mean about his tenacity. :)

We were walking along with friends also keen to photography and someone had brought this crystal ball with him. I don't have one so given the chance, I got me a quick shot, just for fun! Turned out to be pretty cute! And... fun!
So... enter the Upside Down Land!!! :-)
Pepper on this Perch is exhibiting his Passive-Aggressive side because that perch really truly belongs to Tikki. I think this may be the first time I've ever seen him up there. It is in some ways a good thing as he has lost some weight and he has the energy to get up there. (Losing weight is good, doing it this quickly is a bit troubling but his specialty vet got blood work earlier this week and it was perfect.) Oh yes, the Happy Caturday theme 17 October 2020 is 'Catphabet."
It's about time I posted photos of my big brother ... he is the reason I took up photography now more than 50 years ago. Today would have been his 73rd birthday but he left us at age 46. I won't bother with bemoaning and detailing how profound our loss was ... he wouldn't condone it if he were here.
We photographed together when time and circumstance allowed and I would often turn my camera to him as my subject. Two examples of my informal portraiture of him are in this diptych. Although I had no way of knowing it at the time, all of these extemporaneous portraits would become a treasure to me after his death. I return to them often to provoke good memories that deserve provocation for their goodness and if only to remind me of our times together and to serve as the 'voice in my ear' when I am editing my own work. I often look at my own images when deciding if they are 'keepers' by asking myself "what would my brother have said about them?" It keeps me honest in some mysterious and wondrous way ... thank you big brother and happy birthday. "Anon, or sooner!"

Mallards are a common wide ranging shorebird found in ponds and fresh water marshes throughout most of North America.

Northward view from a hotel precinct in Gorkha Bazar, which is the same place as the photo of Gorkha Beer uploaded previously.
Peaks from left to right: Ngadi Chuli (7,871m), Manaslu (8,156m), Himal Chuli (West 7,540m, North 7,371m, East 7,893m).
Manaslu with two-pronged summit is barely visible behind Ngadi Chuli.
It's getting to the time of year where we have deer all over the place round here. Last night I saw 20-30 run away and jump over a fence together, in one fluent movement, a bit like I remember the horses in the Grand national doing, and no fallers. I was too slow to anticipate what they were going to do so no picture to show you
I was far from the cormorant (100m), and so he was small in the view finder, I'm really happy that the AF caught him and not the trees.
I like the position of the wings.

Sethi in the garden early this morning. It was warm already but not as warm as later during this so far hottest day of the year. In the afternoon even Sethi decided to better stay indoors, just like his cousins Cleo and Tofu. Sethi’s leg injury is much better, he almost walks normally again but giving him his medicine is a challenge. He doesn’t really believe that I only want to help him. 😊
I finally found Blue the other day and was overwhlemed with joy to see him!! May sound stange but I really do adore and love this blue jay.

Introducing the 3 Peregrine Falcon fledglings, a male and 2 females. (The females are larger.) They had been crying loudly for breakfast, and Mama has just brought in food. I thought this was really interesting where it appears the center bird, a likely female, is helping her little brother eat. If you've ever seen baby birds eat, it's every "man" for himself. I don't know - maybe she was trying to take it from him, or maybe her maternal instinct is already awake. She shared a leg with him later, or maybe she just didn't want it. It's a privilege for me, as well as fascinating, to be able to spend quality time like this with these young apex predators.
Sitting on the boat she looked out over the ripples of water. The waves splashed tiny droplets on her face. As she turned and looked at him, wiping away the boat's wake that sprayed into her eyes, she knew. She knew she couldn't live without him. It was a strange sort of feeling, but it was as though she knew that somehow she would have missed him even if they had never met.
I caught the Grinch in the act of stealing Christmas and won’t let him despite any lack of snow.
To all my Flickr friends and their family’s
... please enjoy your Christmas or special Holiday of this season and thank you for all your comments and visiting my phtotostream this past year.
I enjoy all your images and join in the fun after I spend time with my family over the Holidays.
The Grinch© is a character of author and artist Dr. Suess – one fine homeowner set up this display to make for an easy Holiday subject.
“‘Why, yes,’ he said, ‘I know of a cure for everything: salt water.’
“‘Salt water?’ I asked him.
“‘Yes,’ he said, ‘in one way or the other. Sweat, or tears, or the salt sea.’
“I said: ‘I have tried sweat and tears. The salt sea I meant to try, but a woman in black lace prevented me.’
From “Seven Gothic Tales”
In 1934 Dinesen published the short story collection “Seven Gothic Tales” which included “The Deluge at Norderney”. One of the characters named Jonathan Maersk, became unhappy when he learned that his father, ship captain Clement Maersk, was not his genetic father. He visited the ocean and contemplated ending his life, but a woman in black lace unnerved him when she appeared and asked to die with him. Jonathan later spoke to his father Clement and asked whether he knew of a cure for his melancholy.
Isak Dinesen and Tania Blixen were pen names of Karen Blixen who wrote the books “Out of Africa” and “Babette’s Feast” which were made into award-winning movies. This article will use the name Isak Dinesen.

I called him a few names. Bubba-Luke. Lukey Madukey. He would lay at my feet sometime with his head on my feet whi;le I fooled with a new song of mine.
We had to put this great old guy to rest the other day and the house feels so empty without him.
Sometimes i love you
More than you'll ever know
Other times you get on my nerves
That's just reality
No, it can't always be
Kisses, hugs, and beautiful words
viewers : HELL NAW !! you ain't Gonna mess this up :Pp
Transients come and go as they please into this old senior trailer park I live in. They steal anything in our tiny spaces and porches-, spit in the Main Street as well as our tiny properties. The slum lords refuse to put cameras up or a gate up. Cops never come so we are on our own. This dirty higher than a kite guy made me want to follow to see where the source of the drugs is coming from in the park. Just because it’s old people doesn’t mean it’s not criminal old people selling from their trailer. Because they are. Because I was already in my car ready to run errands and he came in off the busy main street outside the park . I thought it was perfect timing to follow him, but I stayed way back because he had very. Bad energy, the kind that would get violent if he is triggered. I followed a few streets staying back and at the last street he turned left so I slowed then went we he turned . and he had completely disappeared like a ghost. I was so disappointed. I wanted to solve the mystery of who was letting these addicts in. It was a recon fail. Maybe I will get another chance and will be armed with a camera and zoom lens instead of my phone camera. Life ain’t boring not for me anyways . 😂 ( ps the picture taken with an older iPhone just after a storm ⛈️ the cloud odd shape straight across sky is real the pink sky compliments of light room) :)

Found him on my car antenna. Moon was out. Just had to pic him.
Little late for HMB, but, oh well! lol
Enjoy your day and night! xoxo
Koki playing on the stairs, hoping for the others to join in.
Even though Koki turned 2 years old a month ago today, he still acts like a kitten. A very mischievous, giant 15lb/7kg kitten! Fortunately, he loves to cuddle, and loves us - he melts into my arms when I pick him up.
Maine Coon cats keep growing for up to 5 years, and he has definitely not finished. He won't be as big as his Uncle Ziggy, but he is almost as long.
I keep trying to capture his mysterious blue with white coat which keeps changing as he matures. One of the better ones so far I think!

I found him in the road and it reminded me of a much loved children's book by Sandol Stoddard called Turtle Time. "I may be small, but I am free! Turtle time is very slow. It waits until it wants to go. It has no clocks or rules or maps. It stops for a lot of turtle naps." We all need a little turtle time. HSS!

This cub wanted to come check out my little den but I told him he needed to go downriver and catch up with his mom.
His mom was down in the water way over to the right and out of the frame. I'd been standing on the porch of my cabin waiting for the two of them to head on downriver so I could go get some coffee.
But this little guy was so curious and walked up close to my porch where I was standing. Don't worry, I was right by my door and could have stepped in very quickly.
He was just curious and wanted to check me out for a second and then went on down the way to catch up with mom.
There's no crop on this
Gotta love the juxtaposition of the mural above and him enjoying a cancer stick.

Thank you for looking!♥
This is the Hermit Thrush that has been with us for a couple of weeks in the backyard. He has really made himself at home, but I will really miss him when fly's up north.
you get him something to lick. 💖
I wanna, lick you from yo' head to yo' toes
And I wanna, move from the bed down to the down to the to the floor
Then I wanna, you make it so good I don't wanna leave
But I gotta, know what-what's your fantasy
I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm, he came around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well, you couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know
Seem to care what your heart is for
But I don't know him anymore
There's nothing where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's fine, I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You're a little late, I'm already torn
So I guess the fortune teller's right
I should have seen just what was there
And not some holy light
But you crawled beneath my veins
And now I don't care, I have no luck
I don't miss it all that much
There's just so many things
That I can't touch, I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You're a little late, I'm already torn, torn
There's nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's right, I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see
The perfect sky is torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I'm ashamed
Bound and broken on the floor
You're a little late, I'm already torn, torn
