Hooman! Guess what?

What Barney?

I've decided what I want to be when I grow up!!

Erm... I hate to break it to you Barn, but you are grown up!

Pfft. Well, OK, then, it can be... an early New Year's Resolution...

Oh yes?

Yes. Hooman. I am going to be a badger. An' live in the woods. An' dig a den, under this 'ere tree stump.

Badgers have "setts", not "dens" & I, umm, I don't think you can be a badger. I don't think you'd like being one either!

But I'm the right colours, sorta, an' I like the woods, an' I like diggin' an' stuff?!

But do you like... eating worms and bugs and things like that?

I like stomping on spiders an' killin' flies!

You also like a nice bowl of dog food twice a day though, don't you?

Ye-es... but...

And you like a nice comfy bed by the fire?

Ye-es.... but...

And you like me to throw toys for you?

Ye-es... but...

And you DO want a doggie Christmas present don't you?

Yes!

Well, badgers get badger Christmas presents... only good dogs get doggie Christmas presents.

Are doggie Christmas presents better than badger Christmas presents?

Pretty sure they are!

Hmm... hooman, I'm a good dog. I think being a badger is over-rated. Come on, lets go home an' you can get me a bowl of dog food.

 

Haha, come to think about it, Barney would probably be quite a good badger actually... he does enjoy digging, night-time strolls, snuffling about in the undergrowth & has a genuine, slightly disturbing love for stomping on bugs (although spiders are his favourite), so probably wouldn't mind eating insects & worms for tea! Still, I think he makes a better dog :)

 

I moved the camera around until the flower was against the dark shadows of leaves of the monbretia. Once on the computer I cloned out the lighter leaves, leaving just the shadows, and added a slight shadow contrast to make it even darker.

Plotting and waiting... patiently...

Worked with a nude model to capture her shape and form. Thank you for your appreciation, Gail

Aquilegia 'Crimson Star'

We had a thunderstorm that lasted about an hour yesterday. The electricity stayed on, but we lost the Sky Box for about 40 minutes! Too much static interference, I guess.

F202FHH 'Snail' seen whilst operating for Stagecoach Manchester visiting the Trans Lancs Rally in Heaton Park. This and its sister 201 were affectionately known as Slug and Snail by the depot staff. These were delivered new to Cumberland for a contract to shift workers from BNFL's Sellafield plant.

Tracto is a bad-tempered, impatient Mixel, only doing things for his own benefit. As a result of this attitude, he is not a very co-operative member of the Farmos tribe and often gets into heated arguments with his colleagues, although he can eventually work as a team... As long as there's something in it for him.
