An invasion of wild Ox Eye daisies on farmland at Elsted Marsh.
A sturdy pair of Wellington boots is usually required to walk here, but the ground is now dry and cracked after a relatively rain-free summer.
I bumped the tripod while taking this shot, I think that the results are interesting, it kind of looks like a signature.
Come see Spotlight Your Best where the June theme is “Mostly Yellow.”
Coming July 1st: “From the Garden”
It looked okay to me until my wife came home and said the back didn't look too great.
Home haircuts are cheaper but more expensive in other ways.
…dropped one. I’ve seen hundreds of manu-o-Kū feedings over the past couple decades. The adult often has a beak full of multiple fish, arranged perpendicular to the bill and usually with alternating heads and tails, that it diligently offers one at a time to the chick. I know it happens, but I can’t recall seeing a missed transfer. This adult bird, anthropomorphically looking a bit incredulous, subsequently picked up the dropped fish and successfully reoffered the precious provision to the three-week-old chick. The manu-o-Kū, or white tern, is an arboreal nesting pelagic seabird that doesn’t actually fabricate a nest; instead, it uses a flat or hollow or fork in the tree to keep the egg from rolling away. The hatchling uses its strong, clawed, semipalmate feet to cling to the tree branch that will be its home until fledging. Parents alternate brooding duties until a week or two after hatching when the chick can thermoregulate and be left unattended for up to several hours. Then both parents engage in fishing and feeding, often alternating their arrival time back to the nest. Adults fish up to 120 miles and several hours offshore and provision the chick with fresh whole fish or squid rather than devouring then regurgitating a meal. This avian behavior was known to Polynesian voyagers and other seafarers. A landfall that may be out of view over the horizon could be located by following these birds conveying their catch back to their nestling.
I can imagine the scene:
A young, effervescent tugboat captain practicing for his Learners Test with his dad's boat, and he tries to parallel park between the pylons, but backs into one and snaps it off.
Looking wildly around to see if anyone saw, he guns Hercules DJX-F series 6-cylinder powerhouse and careens crazily off into the river.
At least it could have happened that way.
...
Everything has such a brown and gray tone right now, but I found the polarizing filter let me see the blue in the river, and f/2.8 made the background seem a little more interesting than when it was actually in focus. Basically... I just wanted to post something...

Oleg and Peter picked pins for their best friends Scout and Paddy in Australia.
However, Peter fell and got the pin in a wrong place on his bear body.
PETER:
I found one Oleg and you?
Ouch!!!!
OLEG:
OMG...That hurts isn't it Peter?
PETER:
Yes of course it hurts! Get that thing out Oleg!
Oleg pulls the pin from the bear's body.
PETER:
That feels better.
OLEG:
I have to disinfect it.
PETER:
OK...
Anyone who tells you size doesn't matter has been seeing too many small knives.
