My next door neighbor Brian has cacti in his greenhouse, the regular all over spiky ones and the more leafy variety. It's easy to be fooled by the latter, they may have fewer spikes, but they tend to be bigger & 'spikier'.
When I showed this to my 'Artistic Director' aka my son Charlie, he just said 'vortex'
Brian is also on Flickr.

El milano real (Milvus milvus) es una especie de ave accipitriforme de la familia Accipitridae. Es similar en aspecto al milano negro, del que se distingue por su cabeza de color gris plateado y su silueta. Los ejemplares que anidan en el norte de Europa se desplazan al sur para invernar; algunos de ellos atraviesan el estrecho de Gibraltar hasta llegar al norte de África. Su distribución llega hasta Canarias y las islas de Cabo Verde. La población de las Islas Baleares se encuentra desde hace poco clasificada como en peligro de extinción debido al uso de venenos. Características El milano real tiene una longitud de 60 a 65 centímetros, una envergadura de alas de casi dos metros (190 centímetros) y un peso que oscila, desde los 900 gramos a los 1.200 gramos de peso. Su cola tiene una forma muy ahorquillada. Se diferencia fácilmente del milano negro, que es totalmente oscuro y tiene la cola menos ahorquillada. Alimentación Caza aves y pequeños mamíferos, como liebres o ratas, también se alimenta de pájaros e invertebrados; incluso puede devorar carroña. Anidación Suele anidar en los árboles, donde confecciona un nido a base de ramas y hojas. La puesta consiste en un número que oscila, desde un solo huevo, hasta tres; tardarán en eclosionar unos treinta y cinco días aproximadamente. El macho suele reemplazar a la hembra en la incubación por pequeños periodos de tiempo, mientras ésta se alimenta.

I was stood by these penguins trying to get this shot for ages as a couple of these penguins would swim around the pool underwater and every now and again would fly through the air before diving underwater again. The only trouble was they moved so fast it was hard to know where they were going to surface. I must have taken about 100 shots to get this one.
Named after the cold-water Humboldt Current which was itself named after Freidrich Humboldt, the German scientist who discovered it. Compared to other penguins the adults are medium sized, with large heads, black faces, black backs, tails and feet. The front of their necks is white, with a white border extending from the necks around the face up to their reddish brown eyes. Their black bills have a white band near the tip and the lower mandible is pink, the fleshy colour extending to the eyes. A black band runs down the body beneath the flippers. Females are smaller than males, while young birds don’t have the bold double stripe of adults and are more greyish than black, with a white front.
They breed all year but main seasons are March-April and September-October. They commonly rear two broods in a season. Birds lay eggs in burrows or small crevices, with two eggs usually laid over two to four days and incubation taking 40 to 42 days, chicks hatching two days apart. Both adults share nesting and daily feeding duties. Chicks rarely leave their nest until they have enough plumage to maintain their own body temperature, and after about 12 weeks they have to fend for themselves. They reach maturity at two years.
Most Humboldt penguin pairs remain faithful to each other for years, rarely choosing new partners unless one of them dies, and they often return to the same site to breed year after year.

The Kingston Fossil Plant, operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority, is located at the confluence of the Clinch and Emery Rivers, tributaries of the Tennessee River, between the towns of Harriman and Kingston in Roane County, Tennessee.
The plant put 9 power generating units on line in 1955, with 5 tall and 4 short stacks. In 1976, its original stacks were taken out of service (though left standing) and replaced by a pair of 1,000.0 feet(304.8 m) tall chimneys, one for units 1–5 and one for units 6–9. (See www.flickr.com/photos/23056599@N00/180342544
To reduce sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions, all nine units use a blend of low-sulfur coal. Two scrubber shave been added to the units, further reducing emissions by up to 95 percent. This project was completed in fiscal year 2010 at a cost of about $475 million.
Of course, TVA is still dealing with the December 2008, an impoundment at the plant failed, releasing 1.1 billion gallons (4.2 million m³) of coal fly ash slurry that covered up to 300 acres (1.2 km2) of the surrounding land, damaging homes and flowing into nearby waterways.

According to Wikipedia:
Postman's Park is a small green memorial garden in the City of London. It is located between King Edward Street, Little Britain and Angel Street. It was created in 1880 from the churchyards of St Leonard, Foster Lane and St Botolph-without-Aldersgate together with the graveyard of Christ Church Greyfriars. St Leonard's had been a ruin since the Great Fire and was probably demolished at the time of the creation of the park. St Botolph's is still open and stands at the north east corner of the park. Christ Church was detached from its graveyard and is now a ruin on the other side of King Edward Street.
The park was the idea of the painter George Frederick Watts who wanted to celebrate people who may otherwise have been forgotten. Its name celebrates the postmen who work in the principal London post office and the former sorting office in King Edward Street.
A wall in the park has 34 hand-painted tiles paying tribute to everyday people who sacrificed their lives helping others. The hand-lettered tiles were made by Royal Doulton.
The park features in the film Closer - Natalie Portman's character takes her pseudonym 'Alice Ayres' from one of the painted tiles, as Jude Law's character discovers at the end of the film.
Vivid Sydney - Macquarie Visions
The Vivid Festival ran from May 27 to June 21.
Highlights inclided a light display on Macquarie Street and the return of the fire waters performance at Darling Harbour, a song summit in Sydney and a creative industries X Media Lab.
Last year's festival attracted more than 200,000 people to events at the Rocks and Circular Quay.
Macquarie Visions, a free public event celebrating in immersive light displays, the 200th anniversary and story of two visionary leaders, Governor Lachlan Macquarie and his wife Elizabeth.
Taking approximately one hour, the walk starts with a dazzling light spectacle at St Mary’s Cathedral and moves onto installations at Hyde Park Barracks Museum, The Mint, Parliament House, The State Library of New South Wales, The Royal Botanic Garden’s Palace Garden Gate and Sydney Conservatorium of Music, with special features including the spectacular Downer Macquarie Arch and the stunning illumination of the Opera House sails fulfilling the amazing Vivid Light experience.
The Sydney Opera House is a multi-venue performing arts centre in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It was conceived and largely built by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, who, in 2003, received the Pritzker Prize, architecture's highest honour.
The Sydney Opera House was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 28 June 2007. Currently, it is the most recently constructed World Heritage Site to be designated as such, sharing this distinction with such ancient landmarks as Stonehenge and the Giza Necropolis. It is one of the 20th century's most distinctive buildings and one of the most famous performing arts centres in the world.
The Sydney Opera House is situated on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour, close to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It sits at the northeastern tip of the Sydney central business district (the CBD), surrounded on three sides by the harbour (Sydney Cove and Farm Cove) and neighboured by the Royal Botanic Gardens.
The Opera House was formally completed in 1973, having cost $102 million.

"Geraldton Waxflower" My blog: Chilpancingo
The Geraldton Waxflower is often used by florists in cut-flower arrangements. Although it is widely available, the plant is native to western Australia where it grows as an evergreen shrub in gardens, and along roadsides. It is considered to be one of Australia’s most famous wildflowers, and this popularity has spurred the development of plants with many different colourations (white, yellow, pink, purple, lilac, and bicolours).
The genus name Chamelaucium is probably from the Greek - chamia meaning “dwarf” and leucos meaning “white”. Uncinatum means “hooked”, and refers to the tips of the needle-like leaves.

As I mentioned in my last post, I certainly still have more photographs to post from both my charity bike ride in Morocco and the DMU Boston meetup, but I've put off posting shots from the BU Photo Club twilight shoot at Lo Presti Park for far too long.
This particular shot was one that I had flagged as a keeper the moment I reviewed it on the LCD of my camera when I shot it. I've put off posting it because I couldn't decide whether or not people looking at the photo would like how the old pier posts blend into the blackness of the cityscape (I figured y'all wouldn't.) After several weeks of going back and forth, I was reminded of the fact (again) that this is my photograph and I like- no- love the colors and tones in this and even though I do like it when others say they enjoy my work, it's shouldn't become my primary motive for pursuing photography as I do- and it's not.
Also, I love me some purple.

LARGE, ON WHITE is a better view.
This is Kacie, a beautiful and spirited young lady, and an aspiring model. At the time I took this photo of her, she was also a student at our prestigious music school.
A few people have the kind of personality that is capable of radiating happiness into everyone around them. Kacie is a perfect exemplar of that trait. Coming from the perspective of a person who is given to brooding, I know that her presence is a potent antidote to a wide range of gloom and despondency.
Here is a behind-the-scenes look within the studio in which this photo was taken.
Fort Toulouse - Wetumpka, AL
Jean Louis dit Colon FONTENEAU was born 18 Dec 1686 in Poitiers, France and was baptized in Saint Jean de Montierneuf Church of the same town. By 1720, Jean Louis was a Sergeant serving in French military and on the ship named the “Drommadaire” heading for the new world for an assignment in the colonies. He arrived through the portat Mobile bay which was the French military headquarters and seat of government for the Louisiana Territory and was assigned to Fort Condenear Mobile. During his stay in Fort Conde, he met and married a young widow named Marie Louise Henrique (Henry) and they married on 8 Feb 1725/26 in Mobile. Sometime after his marriage to Marie, Jean Louis was assigned to Fort Toulouse, which in the present day is located in Elmore County, Wetumpka, Alabama at the junction of two rivers, the Coosa and Tallapoosa.
Jean and Marie had twelve children, 8 sons and 4 daughters, and they were all born at Fort Toulouse. Their sons joined the marines and married daughters of other marines and their daughters married sons of marines and they lived near the Fort. Family names for the spouses were Doucet, Brignac, LaGrange, Lobell and Berthelot. Jean Louis died in October 1755 at the age of 68 and was buried in the Fort cemetery but the location of his remains is unknown.
Sometime after the signing of the treaty which ended the French and Indian War, Jean Louis’ living sons, daughters, and Widow Marie Louise moved from the Fort and settled in the vicinity of present day Opelousas, St Landry, Louisiana. All present day Fonteneau’s (Fontenot) in this country are direct descendants of these early settlers.

This is my beautiful friend Annie. She had her wedding in November--it was the first I've shot. It was such a wonderful time, I don't know how some people get through weddings without shedding a tear... they always choke me up at the vows! I couldn't decide whether to attempt to remove the vignette or not. I'm leaving it for now and may remove it for her for their prints.
I rented a few lenses from BorrowLens.com, and I highly recommend them! The day they were due back I had a couple classes I couldn't make time between to run to FedEx. The guy I was in contact with was so nice, instead of charging me the 10% late fee, he just charged me for an extra day, which was much much less. It's rare to see a company care more about their customers than their bottom line, so if you ever plan on renting, check them out!

My mom wanted to take her umpteenth walk along the beach, my dad was hanging out by the boardwalk sketching, so I decided to see Daytona by foot. Not the main drag that has high end hotels on one side, and $30/night motels on the other, but some of the less tourist-ridden areas. First, I walked down Main Street, which caters to bikers in a way I've never seen before. Harley store after leather shop after biker bar after Harley store. I did, however, smile mightily as I passed one of those bars and heard Tom Petty's Free Fallin' playing on the radio. I don't care if you're 25 or 55, I think everyone has memories of driving around in the summer with that song playing on the radio.
After that, I walked over the bridge, onto the mainland, and across on Beach St, which clearly used to be the hub of Daytona Beach nightlife. There were beautiful shops, a quaint street setting, trees planted all along... and 2/3 of the shops were empty. It was sad to see only a handful of restaurants and antique shops clinging to life on what used to be the place to be in the 1960s. They had posters up in the windows of the empty shops with pictures from that era, proclaiming how you, too, should play a part in preserving Daytona's history.
Along that road, I found this old car dealership from the lat 60s, all boarded up and dirty. It's hard to say how long it's been in that state.
No one knows exactly how Semper Paratus (Latin for "always prepared") was chosen as the Coast Guard’s motto. But there is no doubt that Captain Francis Saltus Van Boskerck wrote the words in the cabin of the cutter Yamacraw in Savannah, Ga., in 1922. He wrote the music five years later on a beat-up old piano in Unalaska, Alaska. At that time it was probably the only piano in the whole long chain of Aleutian Islands. Van Boskerck received his commission in the Revenue Cutter Service May 20, 1891.

Warragamba Dam is the largest concrete dam in Australia, and one of the largest dams in the world used specifically as a metropolitan water supply
A series of severe droughts in Sydney region led to the construction of the Warragamba Dam. Sydney's initial fresh water came from the Tank Stream, but as Sydney continued to grow the water was often in short supply and polluted.
In 1869 a member of the Commission of Inquiry, Lieutenant Thomas Moore, recommended the construction of a 52 metre high masonry dam on the Warragamba River. The scheme was judged economically and technically impracticable.
Successive droughts in the period 1897-1902 again brought investigation into the feasibility of a dam on the River but again was abandoned. However in the prolonged drought of 1904-1910 interest was revived and by 1919 a site for a large dam had been selected.
In the meantime the Cataract, Cordeaux, Avon and Nepean Dams continued to be developed as a major source for Sydney.
In 1934-1942 Sydney experienced its longest drought and Sydney's 1.5 million people were left with only 15 months water supply.
Restrictions were severe and strictly enforced. At one stage only 6 weeks water supply remained. There was no time to build a large dam so the Sydney Water Board decided to build a weir on the river and pumping the water through a temporary pipeline to Prospect Reservoir.
This was called Stage 1 Warragamba Emergency Scheme
This took 18 months to complete commencing in 1938 and completed in 1940, delivering 180 mega litres daily and provided sufficient water until the drought broke in May 1941.
The outbreak of World War II further deferred major construction until work finally commenced in 1948. Two coffer dams were built and a 300 metre concrete lined tunnel 5.5 metres wide by 4.2 metres high was built on the eastern side. The diversion tunnel was capable of carrying up to 6.15 million litres a minute.
Floods were a problem. High volumes of flood waters spilling over a dam had disastrous effects. A smooth concrete floor or apron with smooth training walls on either side has been built on the downstream side of the dam to contain flood waters.
Excavation of the site commenced in 1948 and continued for 5 years. Over 2.3 millions tonnes of rock were removed. Flood left tremendous amounts of silt and debris with up to 90,000 cubic metres of deposits being excavated after each flood. In 1956 there was 14 separate floods, delaying constructions.
The first concrete was poured in June 1953 and continued for 24 hours a day until the project was completed in 1960. More than ,550,00 tonnes of sand and gravel were needed. This was obtained from the Nepean River near Penrith and delivered to the dam site by a series of 600 buckets, each holding 1,250kg via a aerial ropeway and at 30 second intervals.
The design of placing concrete, together with the block construction, resulted in Warragamba Dam being crack free. There are five crest gates installed to start to operate automatically when water rises 75mm above the full supply level. The water falls 100 metres into the stilling pool at a rate of 12.7 mega litres per second. A hydro electric power station was designed as an integral part of the dam using surplus water to supply 50 megawatts of electricity into the State grid system. This no longer operates.
Between 1987 and 1989 the dam wall was raised 5 metres and strengthened using post tensioned steel cables and tying the upper portion of the wall to its base. This was the first step in a two stage solution to strengthen the dam in case of the 1 in 1000 year flood.
Work began on stage two of the safety program in 1999. This involved the construction of an auxiliary spillway o the eastern bank of the dam. This was completed in 2002 and is designed to allow flood water to pass safely around the dam and reduce pressure on the dam wall
Thaipusam actually celebrates the birthday of the Hindu deity Subramaniam. On this occasion, Hindus show the sincerity of their faith. It is a time for making and fulfilling vows. Devotees pray for divine help and make vows. When their prayers are answered, they fulfil their vows.
To do this, a devotee would pierce his cheeks, tongue, face or other suitable body parts with sharp objects. Next his friends or relatives load a *kavadi on his shoulder. Finally, in a trance-like manner, he goes on a 4km journey of faith.
Others, including young children, might join the procession carrying only milk pots. The Thaipusam Singapore procession starts at the Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple on Serangoon Road and ends at the Sri Thandayuthapani Temple on Tank Road.
At first look, one might think that the festival starts at one temple and ends at another. Not so. Many of the devotees start fasting a month before the Thaipusam Singapore festivities. Others fast a week. Yet others three days.
A Hindu friend said this to me, "If you are going to put a 12-inch skewer through your cheeks and a hundred spikes in your chest, you'd better take your fast seriously!"
* A kavadi is a cage-like structure carried by devotees during the Thaipusam Festival.
It is traditionally decorated with peacock feathers and aluminium plates which show images of Hindu deities. Sharp spikes criss-cross its lower section.
An elaborate kavadi might weigh up to 15kg! It is quite something just to lift it. But these chaps I saw actually walked with them for 4km - kavadis, skewers, hooks, spikes and all!
Some of them even skipped and danced with their kavadis. Either they have great endurance or they have some supernatural help.

Finally Rosina gave birth. There were born 2 males and a female.
Unfortunately the female had a problem (umbilical hernia ) and died.
One of the males, Bruce is staying at home with us tonight because he could not drink enough milk.
We took the milk from Rosina and we are going to give him during the night.
I hope he gets better. He is very weak!
Rosina is doing well!!!

This photo was taken at sunset in Lincoln City, Oregon, USA. This is a beautiful beach on the Central Oregon Coast.
About this photo: We stayed in a beach apartment for 1 week in Lincoln City. When we arrived around dinner time at this place it was cloudy. After dinner we decided to go for a walk on the beach and at the end of the evening we were treated to a beautiful sunset as it started to clear up. What a gorgeous evening that was!
As the sun was setting I noticed this man on the beach with his dog. I thought the silhouettes of them looked so nice against the orange coloured sky. I added some saturation and contrast in the post processing. After that I ran the photo through Neat Image to get rid of the access noise. I hope you like this photo too!

Some information on Lincoln City and the beach: Lincoln City is nestled between seven miles of sandy beaches and a 680 acre scenic lake on the central Oregon Coast. And while it's a charming resort town, it's also a paradise of beauty, history and adventure.
The mighty Pacific Ocean greets the beach along seven gorgeous miles in Lincoln City. The beauty and activities along the seashore change with the seasons, adding spice and variety. There are excellent locations for wave, whale, sunset and storm watching, and the beach is a treasure trove for collecting driftwood, agates, shells and floats. Large rocks emerging from the sea create perfect pockets for tide pooling during low tides, and beach hiking, surfing, windsurfing and fishing challenge adventure seekers. Fifteen public beach accesses welcome those who wish to indulge!
The Oregon Coast is the coast of the U.S. state of Oregon along the Pacific Ocean, constituting the western border of the state. Stretching 583km/362mi from the city of Astoria to the California border, the Oregon Coast is unique in that the entire coast is public land. Oregon law prohibits private ownership of coastline property.
The Oregon Coast is often divided into three regions
•The North Coast—from the Washington border at Astoria to Lincoln City.
•The Central Coast—from Lincoln City to Reedsport.
•The South Coast—from Reedsport to the California border, just south of Brookings.
There are no large cities on the coast, mainly due to the lack of deep harbors with access to the inland agricultural areas. The largest metropolitan area consists of the bordering cities of Coos Bay and North Bend on the South Coast. This area has a population of approximately 25,000 people. There is only one continuous highway along the coastline, the U.S. Route 101. The relative isolation of the coast from nearby large population centers has given the coast a reputation for being somewhat rustic, being a mixture of old logging towns, fishing villages, seasonal resorts, and artists' colonies. Tourism, fishing and logging are the major industries on the coast. The coastal region's popularity, combined with the fact that there are only a few two-lane roads from the more populated areas in the Willamette Valley contributes to traffic to the north and central coasts being named the worst tourist traffic in the United States.

Love Me On Black. :P
"He (or she) has such a heart-shaped face." How often do you hear that? I hear it often enough. Think about it. Just imagine the bone-structure required for a face to look like that (nevermind the vampiric hairline that would be required :P LOL!). I know! I know! It's such a literal interpretation. But what else do people mean by that? That their face looks like a real, physical heart? Wouldn't that be even more grotesque? "Uh, excuse me, but I think your left eye has a myocardial valve dysfunction. Maybe you should see a facial cardiologist about that." I know. I'm being silly. And I'm just having fun, too. :D
I'll just say that this one's being sent out to all my FlickrFriends... with love (and a rather large dollop of silliness, too). :P :D
Seriously, though. Couldn't you just love a guy with a face like this? Hmm. Then again, maybe that's why women find Dracula so sensual. With a hairline like that, he would have a rather heart-shaped face, wouldn't he? (Oh, jeez. I need to stop. I'm killing myself! ROFLOL! I'm putting away the liquify tool, and the bad jokes, too. I promise. :P)
Happy Valentine's Day, my FlickrFriends! :D
FOOTNOTE: I was NOT smiling in this photograph. That smile is sooooo Photoshopped. :P LOL That's why it looks silly. This is the same photograph as the one previously posted. This is what the Liquify tool can do for you, too! If you're so daring. :P

According to Wikipedia:
Postman's Park is a small green memorial garden in the City of London. It is located between King Edward Street, Little Britain and Angel Street. It was created in 1880 from the churchyards of St Leonard, Foster Lane and St Botolph-without-Aldersgate together with the graveyard of Christ Church Greyfriars. St Leonard's had been a ruin since the Great Fire and was probably demolished at the time of the creation of the park. St Botolph's is still open and stands at the north east corner of the park. Christ Church was detached from its graveyard and is now a ruin on the other side of King Edward Street.
The park was the idea of the painter George Frederick Watts who wanted to celebrate people who may otherwise have been forgotten. Its name celebrates the postmen who work in the principal London post office and the former sorting office in King Edward Street.
A wall in the park has 34 hand-painted tiles paying tribute to everyday people who sacrificed their lives helping others. The hand-lettered tiles were made by Royal Doulton.
The park features in the film Closer - Natalie Portman's character takes her pseudonym 'Alice Ayres' from one of the painted tiles, as Jude Law's character discovers at the end of the film.
