Who needs a step ladder? A fellow photographer gets a shot of Duchess of Sutherland at Great Northern Terrace, Lincoln. Should say that he was one of several people who did this.
Not the cutest thing I've ever made, but hopefully one of the most useful. We have a neighborhood kitty who over the past 6 months has decided she wants to live at our house. We fixed her fur (she had terrible matting issues), de-fleaed her, we feed her and as the weather has gotten colder we've let her sleep in our garage. During the day (when we're home) we keep the big roll up door open about 8" for her to get in & out, and at night we've been leaving the mandoor open so she can get out for potties, we've even resorted to keeping a litter box in the garage. But there are major issues afoot. Firstly, she's not ours, we can't just keep her and we're planning to move within the next couple of months, it wouldn't be right to take her. Secondly, we haven't been able to figure out what her deal is, but she keeps peeing in our garage. We thought maybe we'd forgotten to leave the door open one night, but that isn't so. She's peed on both of the rubber-backed rugs we park our scooters on (had to throw them out, they we're about $80 each), she peed on Sean's leather baseball bag, she peed on some of our camping gear, and she's peed RIGHT NEXT to the kitty litter box, numerous times. Frustrating and stinky, cat pee is the worst. Thirdly, and most immediately, since we got the cabin we're planning to spend a lot of time away from here, and we can not leave this, or any house unsecured for several days at a time.
We love kitties, we both miss having kitties since Chyna & Egypt passed away, but Mattie can't be ours. On top of all of the above, she hates Lola & Boswell, she's made a dash for the door a few times, but as soon as she's gotten inside the house she's hissing and spitting at the dogs who stand there looking at her like 'what's your problem?' they've been raised with cats so they don't understand why she hates them. Also, I'm pretty sure she wants to eat the bird, Marley. I've been looking into feral cat shelters and decided on something I could make myself. Today Sean popped into Home Depot and got me the only thing I needed, a tote box. I made this at the kitchen counter in about an hour and a half. I insulated it and added a thick piece of Styrofoam for the lid then prettied up the entrance with fancy duct tape, total cost... $6. Now all I have to do is add her bedding (yes, we even bought her a bed) and set it out. I sure hope she uses it. We're fond of her and want her to be safe and warm and dry, but we can't keep letting her pee all over the place and leaving our garage open to any jerk who jumps the fence. I hope this is the right solution, it's the best we've been able to come up with since we don't want to take her to the shelter and WILL NOT take her to the pound. Feels like a rock and a hard place...
A funny street photography scenario. I was there to take a landscape photo. In fact behind the red dressed girl there is the wonderful Albano lake.

I just threw in some roots, veggies, lentils and spices and let it all simmer for 30-40 minutes until most of the water was absorbed. It was very satisfying with some rice and a green salad on the side.

I took this picture while on my 22 mile day hike on the Wonderland Trail (Sunrise to Mowich Lake) in Mt Rainier National Park. As you can imagine on a hike that long you want to minimize what you bring as much as possible so I didn't bring a tripod. However, I did bring a bean bag so I set my camera on the bridge that crosses this stream and used my wired remote to get this long exposure shot.
