Major Pete Reddan writes a song while leaning on the front tires of a C-17 Globemaster III at Joint Base Charleston, S.C., June 13, 2012. Reddan's military inspired tune, "Off to War", was recently recorded by Nashville recording artist, Brad Anderson. The song was inspired by his experiences during deployments as well as the experiences of the men and women Reddan serves with. Reddan is a 437th Airlift Wing pilot.

Two cubs of Maya Tigress were in their playful mood. It was a scorching afternoon of April. These two fellas enjoyed their evening bath and the fun. It was a treat to watch till it lasted.

What Do Your Shoes Say About You? Apparently:

"Expensive shoes equal a high-income earner.

Flashy footwear show that the wearer is an extrovert.

Practical shoes mean the person is agreeable.

Old but well-kept shoes belong to a conscientious type of person.

Shabby shoes reveal a liberal thinker."

Personally, I don't agree with the above but food for thought.

Children and adults alike cool off in the Whirlpool Compass Fountain in St. Joseph, Michigan. Just steps from Silver Beach, Lake Michigan, and the downtown shopping district, the fountain provided some much needed relief from the 90 plus degree sun.

a poem, issued anonymously & printed from photostencils in 2 colours, plausibly for posting around Toronto, though i don't recall ever having seen any about. he seemed to have some trouble with the ink foaming, the resultant texture adding to the virulence of the message. minorly rumpled & with a small tear off the top left corner, looking like it was incurred during printing...

H2T Version of Knock-off Leger

A voice calls out behind my back

And I take off into the grounds

 

I'm doing Cartwheels

Seems this young rocky racoon needed to catch up on some much needed rest !

I'm not sure how the term "Knock-Off" went from meaning a wheel that needed to have its center lock "Knocked Off" to meaning something that's been copied badly.

Off Parish road after a flood?

Extreme ways at the Slovakian Paradise.

 

Hiking in 20-30 cm fresh snow. Over the mountains, through the creek. It was a beautiful two day. It's a great experience, not a small risk. But I really enjoyed it! You... enjoy the pictures!

 

Previosly: Our expedition starts to the Slovakian canyons. We're going to sleep in the mountains so much that we do not drive there. Walking and rock climbing is also required to get to the safe house.

 

This is the starter pack, though the headlamps are still on the way.

Just off the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland.

"Walk it off now

You can tell them all how, how hard we tried to work it out

Walk it off dear

Standing here with your tail between your legs." ♪

We got a bit of Sad news in the in box this morning. An old Friend of ours passed on last night. The old friend was a dog named Nixon. many an adventure he had, and never spoke a word of. Some on the other hand more than one or 2 of us know.

He was born some time in 1996 and came to be a Friend to us while we were living in the land of California. He was a bundle of fluff and teeth sharp as tacks, with a penchant for tearing the trash can apart and everything in it. many a day he would be sitting there when I got home from the night shift with the mess he had just made stretching from one end of the house to the other with the innocent look puppies can achieve when they have just eaten Christmas dinner.

On leaving California and moving to Montana, he came with us, and stayed for a while here. he seemed to do well here losing fleas, and slowly losing hot spots which he did not really enjoy, but endured with better grace than I do aching joints on stormy days.

He left here and took some time to see Chicago, and then went back to Cali for a short while before finally coming back here to Kalispell.

It was here he spent the years where he had a good family to watch over him, and to watch over and guard while he waited to move on to another place.

While I know he has moved on and is now able to snack on cheese and bacon as he wishes, with no one to tell him no, he is still going to be missed here in this world, at least until we travel on and find him elsewhere waiting for us.

Another discarded railway wagon to add to my collection found abandoned across Worcestershire! This one is in the grounds of Cottage Farm, Droitwich.

One from December that I forgot about, an egret at Lymington.
