This is an African Grey Hornbill preying on a Praying Mantis. The Praying Mantis is a highly predatory insect with females even notoriously eating the male whilst they are mating. But they are also a tasty snack themselves for many birds and mammals including this African Grey Hornbill. Two seconds later and the mantis had disappeared down its gullet. It is well worth clicking on the photograph to view the mantis really large.
This Grey Hornbill is a male with his black and white bill. Females have a yellow and red bill. I photographed this event in nature at Awash in Ethiopia.
I dropped by the Frozen sing-along yesterday. It was time to start exploring the Frozen themed performances that displaced the Mad-T Party. The line for the musical group in Stage 17 was an hour long so I skipped that for now.
Some older issues, that need to be caught up on :)
Groo: Gods Against Groo (# 1 of 4)
The bumbling barbarian Groo has made quite a name for himself, traveling the land cleaving a path of destruction and cheese dip.
He is either so greatly feared or favored wherever he goes, Groo’s earthly reputation causes a Groo diety to arise in the heavens! While Earthbound Groo hungers, his Divine Groo alter ego unleashes chaos! Plus, Sergio’s legendary back cover Rufferto strips return!
From the hilarious mind and skillful pen of Sergio Aragonés, with scripts by Mark Evanier, colors by Carrie Strachan, and lettering by Stan Sakai (Usagi Yojimbo)!
This series concludes an epic storyline that began in Groo: Fray of the Gods and continued in Groo: Play of the Gods.

Emboldened by his new gift, Casey takes on NYC’s criminal element to great effect. The problem is his new powers are wreaking havoc on the city’s power grid! Can the TMNT talk Casey into giving up his powers, or will they have to take them by force?

'Standing at the crossroads
trying to read the signs
To tell me which way I should
go to find the answer
And all the time I know
Plant your love and let it grow.
Let it grow
let it grow
Let it blossom
let it flow
In the sun
the rain
the snow
Love is lovely
let it grow.
Looking for a reason
to check out of my mind
Playing hard to get a
friend that I can count on
When there's nothing left to show
Plant yout love and let it grow.
Let it grow
let it grow
Let it blossom
let it flow
In the sun
the rain
the snow
Love is lovely
let it grow.
Time is getting shorter
there's much for you to do
Only ask and you will
get what you are needing
The rest is up to you
Plant your love and let it grow.
Let it grow
let it grow
Let it blossom
let it flow
In the sun
the rain
the snow
Love is lovely
let it grow.
Let it grow
let it grow
Let it blossom
let it flow
In the sun
the rain
the snow
Love is lovely
let it grow.
Let it grow
let it grow
Let it blossom
let it flow
In the sun
the rain
the snow
Love is lovely
let it grow.'
I've always been amused when British photographers feel the need to explain themselves after capturing a nice shot from a layby, known in America as a scenic overlook. Yet I was feeling a twinge of guilt myself as I took this one in the Canyonlands near Moab, Utah. Not only did I not leave the parking lot, I didn't even leave the shadow of the car. But I had my reasons, I can assure you. First, we had already used up the magic light back at the famous Mesa Arch, and the canyon in the distance was badly washed out with glare. And the bland blue sky needed something in the foreground to offset it, so I used the parking lot fence that they had made of deadwood. Besides, I was tired and badly in need of coffee, having been too wound up the night before to sleep well. Hmmm ... too much explaining. I should have just said I hiked three miles in country to bag this shot, with no water. Captured on Jeff Clow's Dirt Cheap Photo Tour.

Time waits for nobody, especially when it's a hot BNSF Z Train. After waiting for eastbound Amtrak San Joaquin 704, the eastbound Z train makes it's way out of the siding at Duffy, east of Stockton, CA. On the far track is a Bakersfield bound ethanol train, patiently waiting it's turn.
My second pic taken from the bridge of these two gents .. out early (6:15am?). I like the clear, smooth surface for the reflection, and the gentle wake -- bow and stern, respond well to HDR .. Happy Slider Sunday!!!
Whether it be the elderly, children, homeless, the workers or the men and women that carry out the mating ritual on the city sidewalks. .. My social photography intends only to inform, and to share with others what I observe and find to be interesting. I apologize if I inadvertently offend anyone ~Rhpsr

Let's pretend Marshall Mathers never picked up a pen,
Let's pretend things would have been no different,
Pretend he procrastinated and had no motivation,
Pretend he just made excuses that were so paper thin, they could blow away with the wind.
Today is Marshall Mathers/ Eminem/ Slim Shady's birthday. And he is definitely our biggest role model and inspiration! Happy Birthday Eminem.
We haven't been very active on Flickr lately but we'll definitely start uploading more and commenting and such more often when Diane gets her DSLR so we can start our 365 project!

I had arrived in the city only 30 minutes before taking this, my first photo in the city, using my trusty Leica C at 1600 ISO. I decided to exaggerate the grain and produce this unusual 'pastel on canvas' effect which is new to me.
The slogan on the wall translates to the title of this photo - I like the call to action.

As people we sometimes find ourselves compelled to want things. Those things are either good for us or bad for us. Sometimes we don’t know which until we are in possession of it. We are bound to want things in which plague our thoughts with desire and until we have them we feel…incomplete. We feel in want. We feel as if somehow we are missing out. The things I speak about are both physical and mental. They are both good and bad, they are parallel and identical, they are exactly what we need, and exactly what we do not need. Many a person has fallen victim to the desire of things in which are destructive to them. They are things which can eat away at both the mind and the body. Now, you probably think I mean substance abuse, and of course, that is definitely something which slowly, and surely, takes over a person’s life. However, I have found that everyday normal things can, in a sense, have the same affect. We seek these things to make us feel like we can do them, that despite the affects on us we will overcome any negative influence. What a positive thought to have and I truly wish it would always work out for the better, but what about when you try so hard and it simply fails to make a difference? What about when you do something and it simply tears another piece of you away? For instance, what about trying to stay in a relationship that just doesn’t work? Or keeping a friend that belittles you at every opportunity? What about trying so hard to fit in, when everybody turns their back on you? What about the moment when you feel as confident as you have ever felt in your life, and that little voice inside your head tells you different when you catch your reflection in a window, or a mirror?
The truth is we can only hold on to these negative things for as long as we can hold on to wet paint. It will slowly escape through our hands and despite anything we do, we have very little chance of ever trying to retrieve it. Some thing's simply are not meant to stay in our lives, some thing's simply can't stay in our lives. This is what I say…let it go.
“Some people believe holding on and hanging in there are signs of great strength. However, there are times when it takes much more strength to know when to let go and then do it.” - Ann Landers Copyright © 2014 Amy Morris. All Rights Reserved.
