This is how Evan eats Oreos....who needs to take bites? Nah, just shove the whole thing in. ;)
I wanted to do this in color, but the lighting sucked because there wasn't much available light from the window, so I had to turn on the kitchen lights. It was that or crank up my ISO to 1600 lol. Anyway, it looks much better with this conversion. ;)
hehe, long time no see!
I'm good, but little sleepy lol

How Many Rabbits in a Rabbyte? by Jason Curtis
From the website: How many Rabbits in a Rabbyte? Have a look at the design to find out, or jog your memory!
There is a new art trail in Southampton and Winchester this summer. For ten weeks Hares of Hampshire will bring thirty-two large hares and forty-two leverets to the streets, parks, galleries and shops of the two cities.
All money raised by donations and by the auction of the hares at the end of the summer will go to the Murray Parish Trust.
I was on my knees taking pictures of the toad lilies and all of the sudden this face was in my lens!
~ John Muir
John Muir is the individual most responsible for the creation of Yosemite National Park. The Scottish-born American naturalist convinced President Teddy Roosevelt to protect Yosemite (including Yosemite Valley), Sequoia, Grand Canyon and Mt. Rainier as National Parks. Marvelling at the beauty of Yosemite Falls and its surroundings you realize how thankful you have to be.
I have no idea how old these cobbles in Belgium are, but I did wonder how many feet have stepped on them? How many bicycles, cars, horses, carts?
Quante strade deve percorrere un uomo
Prima di essere chiamato uomo?
Quanti mari deve navigare una colomba bianca
Prima che dorma sulla sabbia?
Sì, e quante volte devono volare le palle di cannone
Prima che siano proibite per sempre?
La risposta, amico mio, sta soffiando nel vento
La risposta sta soffiando nel vento
Bob Dylan
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

We have a special challenge at We’re Here! today: “It's a Saturday ... so today, let's spend a few minutes (or hours) showing off one of your favorite special photographic techniques. And, in your photo's description, explain what you did to get the intended (?!) result.”
Our images are then to be foisted upon our unsuspecting host What’s Your Technique?
I love creating images made out of several blended photographs. The elements come from my archives, recent or old, and are usually from several separate locations and different times. It’s great fun to enter these in contests when they fit the theme – and the contest themes themselves often serve as the inspiration for the image created. I don’t often “win” the contests, but that is hardly the point. Just as with the “We’re Here” themes, it is the challenge and creative work that causes me to spend my precious hours doing this. I have been wanting to create a new texture for a while now. These take me more time than seems reasonable – so today’s the day!
I combined a snap of my daughter’s kitchen wall in afternoon sunlight and a sandstone wall at a Napa winery, ran the result through Manga 5 Art Studio for some spray painting, and tortured that in “Paint Shop Pro” with blurring, layering, contrast adjustments, and a software-generated “straw texture”, until I couldn’t possibly remember how to do it again. Then I blended several different layers of it in different opacities and saturations with my subject – taken at the Idaho Springs Heritage Museum. The originals of my new texture and the owl shot are in the comment box below. I altered the dates to the past so they will “fall out” of my current photostream.
And, voilà! I have to fess up to falling into the “a few hours” category of Hereio today! I don’t have a contest in mind, but Spotlight Your Best has a “Bird Life” theme this month, so I will put it there.

Time ain't nothing if it ain't fast
Taking everything that you ever had
And giving nothing in return
But a cold bed in the quiet earth
If there's a door to every cell
A pearl inside of every shell
Then how hard can it be
To share your life with me
How hard can it be
To rise with me each morning
I know that it feels like
We will live forever, but I fear
That time will hide the years
Life ain't nothing if it ain't hard
It will show you who you truly are
Knock you down when you get too tall
'Til you're spun around in a free fall
But somewhere out there past the storm
Lies the shelter of your heart
So how hard can it be
To share your life with me
How hard can it be
To rise with me each morning
I know that it feels like
We will live forever, but I fear
That time will hide the years
Like we were never here
So hold on tightly my dear
I'm not one to waste my time
Searching for some silver lining
But somewhere out there past the storm
Lies the shelter of your heart
So how hard can it be
To share your life with me
How hard can it be
To rise with me each morning
I know that it feels like
We will live forever, but I fear
That time can hide the years
Like we were never here
So hold on tightly my dear
Tarn Hows in the Lake District. Previously owned by Beatrix Potter who left it to the National Trust
Two bald eagles interested in the same fish. The lower eagle, lifted his talons for protection from the invading eagle. They locked for an instant and then the lower eagle did a complete somersault in the water. The lower eagle had the last laugh though as once it was upgright, it grabbed the fish it had dropped, and flew away to enjoy the spoils.

"You shut your mouth, how can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does"
AAW June 8 - 15 Triptych
WIT: In the time of covid 19, I've been busy baking bread - I decided to try no-knead focaccia. I noticed on Instagram that focaccia flowers are a thing, and since I enjoy playing with my food, I thought I'd try my hand at it. The triptych represents the different stages of my focaccia, from raw ingredients to finished creation. It was yummy!
Here is the link to the recipe I followed:

Made Explore.
Taken with ProCamera on iPhone 5
Edited on an iPad 4 with ScratchCam textures overlaid using Photoshop Touch. Drawing by me.
Some people have asked me how I achieve these effects, such as above, on my iphone so I have created a website www.iphoneographycentral.com on which myself and many of the world's leading iphoneographers share our work flows via step-by-step tutorials. If you are interested in learning more about taking and editing photographs on your mobile phone using the many apps available, please visit www.iphoneographycentral.com.

Carolina eenden zijn ongelooflijk mooi van kleur.
Voor de serie "How close can you get" dit portret gemaakt met de Nikon D610 en 28-300mm.
Bij 300mm inzoomen is dit de volle lensopening - erg knap van deze Nikon lens om dan deze scherpte te halen bij f/5,6 !
Alle kleuren van de regenboog in één eend.

How I wish I was like the water,
Flowing so freely with every drop
Let my every emotion wonder,
No need to start, nor even stop
How I wish I was like the fire,
Burning with every flame up
Leaving a trace of hot desire
As a Phoenix raises its' wings up
How I wish I was like the earth,
Raising each flower from the ground
Seeing the beauty of death and birth
And then returning to the ground
How I wish I was like the wind,
Hearing each whisper, sound and thought
A lonesome and wandering little wind,
Shattering all that has been sought
Oh, how I wish I was where you are,
Not separated by empty space, so far
It seems like we're galaxies apart,
But we find hope within our heart
And how I wish I was all of the above,
So I can come below and yet forget,
The beauty of angels which come down like a dove
And demons who love with no regret.

This photograph of my grandfather shows him as a chauffeur in 1913 and, on the reverse, he has written a note to the woman he was “walking out” with arranging a meeting.
The 1911 census shows him working at a stable as a groom so clearly in the intervening years he had secured a new career. He was almost certainly unaware that within the following 18 months he would become a soldier serving on the Western Front until the end of the Great War.
In 1916 he was granted leave to marry and on the banns certificate his occupation was shown as “serving in the war”. He was discharged from the Army in early 1920 and died in 1962.
I believe the vehicle is a Renault and I have deliberately not restored the photograph as I think part of its charm is the damage it has sustained in the last 108 years. I particularly like the big headlights and what appears to be a petrol can on the roof! Clearly, unlike today, there were no laws on tyre tread depth as the spare and front offside appear to have none although the front nearside does have some!
