An overachiever in the back 40. With low commodity prices,I'm going to need a lot more of these to make any money this year!
Our time is simply wonderful, we are emanzipated women who may do with our bodies and faces whatever we fancy, we may enjoy virtual reality, let Artificial Intelligence do the no fun bits, get the face we always wanted, do outrageous things as usually only blokes would do and feel ever so overachieving, right .... RIGHT??! or ...
My parents always warned me
never date dead dudes.
It just seems unfair.
I never had a chance to get to know you
back when you were still alive
and wouldn’t try to eat the waiter.
You may be a biter when you get hangry
and maybe your conversation style is lacking...
But I think we all put way too much emphasis
on what is in a body anyway.
And when I feed you enough,
you’re actually a really good listener.
Zombie boy I’m going to play your song
by the Magnetic Fields
and we’re going to dance around and be
weird and wonderful together.
Everyone is in a great vast process of decay
a race to a desiccated destiny.
Some of us are just overachievers
and have a big head start!

This is a dark morph, likely a female. “Nearly all Swainson’s Hawks breeding in the eastern half of the range (east of the Rocky Mountains) are light in appearance. Darker-plumaged birds are more common in the West, although still in the minority, accounting for upwards of 10 percent of individuals. Starting in late August and September, nearly the whole population of Swainson’s Hawks migrates from North America to Argentina, a roundtrip of more than 12,000 miles for the northernmost breeders. Groups of soaring or migrating hawks are called “kettles.” When it comes to forming kettles, Swainson’s Hawks are overachievers: they form flocks numbering in the tens of thousands, often mixing with Turkey Vultures, Broad-winged Hawks, and Mississippi Kites to create a virtual river of migrating birds."

For the Monday Challenge group. The challenge was to make a photo that depicts something either old, new, borrowed or blue. " If you're an overachiever, find something that is two or more of those things in one." I can make the case that this little Forget-me-not is both old and new since these tiny blooms last only about two weeks.

I'll be out of town today so won't be able to swim in your streams until tomorrow.
Thanks for the look and have a good week.
Going along with the Halloween theme ..;) HFF!!
Flickr sent me my monthly update and I kind of wish they wouldn't do it. Says I got 6758 favs and gave 13,697. Thanks Flickr, I already knew i was an overachiever ..;)
We decided to visit Isenberg Sandhill Crane Reserve as we were told that the Cranes were just beginning their migration. We did spot a few in flight but too high up to get a decent shot. To our excitement there were many birds of prey for us to photograph. Groups of soaring or migrating hawks are called “kettles.” When it comes to forming kettles, Swainson’s Hawks are overachievers: they form flocks numbering in the tens of thousands, often mixing with Turkey Vultures, Broad-winged Hawks, and Mississippi Kites to create a virtual river of migrating birds. This Swainson’s Hawk was in the right place at the right time so we were able to take our time and get some decent photos.
The Closed Gentians are having a great year around here. The blooms never open but generally there are 4 or 5 blossoms on each plant, not 8 as here. They are quite a handsome plant, both the blooms and the foliage, and another sign that Summer is gone, Fall is here.
Golden Crowned Kinglet. Taken on the Pisgah side of the Blue Ridge Parkway. The eating is good right now.
. . . Every time I have heard this expression used to describe an overachiever, my Biology/Botany/Science part of my brain takes over and comes up with something like this! Sorry for the sick pun, but do try to check out the Holland Tulip Time Festival this week, it is outstanding . . .
Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
This Yellow-crowned Night Heron appeared to me to be a youngish bird and the way it was hunting, I thought it was going after small, easily handled prey. So I was unprepared when it came up with one of the larger blue crabs I have seen plucked from Horsepen Bayou, then immediately bolted for the shoreline to landlock its catch.

Due to the windswept conditions, even in this very wet year many of the Chocolate Lilies at this site were very low, some topping out at only 2-3" (5-7cm) above the ground. However, there's always an overachiever, like this multi-flowered plant.
This was my first time encountering gravity waves among an exceptional mammatus display. A great end of the day to an overachiever event. Outside Ada, OK. May 15th, 2022.
When things are piling up I seem to procrastinate a lot. Terrible isn't it?
Anyway I found this yahoo forum and one of the member seem to have read something very interesting about procrastination...
"I once read a theory on procrastination, according to this article; many people who are afraid of failing tend to do this, which would also include overachievers; of course they wanting a perfect result.... Or again not wanting something less than perfect... "
Aaaarrrrggghhhhhhhh... ok time to go to bed now. LOL I will see you all tomorrow! Thank you once again for all who have visited recently and thank you all so much for your comments. Means heaps for a simple learner like me.
PS. Life will just be perfect if I'd pick the lavenders from here ...
This week :
"Since June is the month of many weddings (at least in this part of the world) lets shoot something that is either old, new, borrowed or blue. (If you're an overachiever, find something that is two or more of those things in one.) "

From the looks of that pollen sack on that leg, this Bee has been living up to that old adage, and may be an overachiever as it looks like there's some extra pollen on his noggin, too!
Was trying to get some butterfly shots the other day when this fellow just flew in to check things out. I may do butterfly chasing but definitely not bee chasing, so if one happens to show up, I try to take advantage of the moment!
OK, many of you may know I have a BIG fear of things that sting, so this is probably not as clear as it could have been because my hands might not have been as steady as they could have been when trying to get this shot. Just saying.
I took about 100 pictures of this Anhinga's struggle with a type of catfish I'd never seen before. Internet research reveals that this is an example of "Armored Catfish" (Hoplosternum littorale), another escaped non-native fish that is proliferating in South Florida.
The Anhinga had three problems to overcome: rendering the fish immobile, getting the fish in the proper head-first orientation for swallowing; and, getting that thick, armored fish down his skinny neck,
Paul ( D200-Paul ) and I watched this struggle for 15-20 minutes, as the Anhinga would attempt to swallow it, cough it back up, throw it to the ground, throw it up in the air several times to maneuver it to his mouth, and repeat the process over and over again. Eventually it looked as if he would successfully swallow the fish, so Paul and I moved on. (Hope the Anhinga didn't choke himself ).
Thanks, Pen for coming with me to finish up my Christmas shopping - SINCE YOUR'S IS ALREADY DONE AND WRAPPED.
Overachiever. 💗
Drago found some magical ballons to fly around the world with.... Who wants to join him?
I've always wanted to do a mini photoshoot with ballons and I finally got to do it! It was awesome! and Drago had fun killing the "ball impersonators" lol
Photos not always turn out exactly the way i plan them in my head....It was so windy that the ballons were flapping everywhere and getting tangled... And more than a few died in the process by Drago's jaws...But hey I still got the photos I hoped for and even some crazy looking ones since mr Drago was doing crazy twisty over the top jumps... Ever the overachiever ;)
I would have loved having the background a Dr.'s office and the dinosaurs sneaking the urine cup away in front of the nurses. For today they are clumsily carrying the cup and spilling as they go. Whoever filled this up was an overachiever. But really, I consider these things when going to the Dr., not too much and not too little, just half a cup...
Hope you got a laugh today and weren't grossed out by my juvenile humor. My cup is filled with pickle juice and I've had the urine cup since my physical earlier this year, you never know when you need a photo prop.
I had dinner with a dear friend this week who has known me close to forty years. She mentioned that I was an overachiever in high school. I looked at her slack jawed...me? And then I thought back to my grade one work book with an unprecedented number of five gold stars on the cover. Uh...maybe she had a point. (Or maybe I just like glittery stars).
In the spirit of being a multitasker and busy-body 24/7, this true fact speaks to my overachiever heart.
When I was a kid my mother gave me a book of true facts for Christmas and I was instantly fixated on random, useless trivia and true facts. I used to read the Trivial Pursuit cards on road trips (nerd alert), and to this day I still have a passion for the unusual and bizarre factoids.
