This tiny moth was an unfortunate victim when spraying a large blowfly...so now immortalized under the macro lens.
mr beaky showing his age but still knows is name and still comes when called but he hates fuss and other ducks so you have to try and get him on his own to feed him
It looks like her previous owner has used glitter nail polish to give her more sparkle on her eyes, mouth, cheeks, fingers and toes. Her hair is also oddly colored.
The end result is that she looks like she's going to star in some horrible made-for-TV movie about child beauty pagents. I'm going to let her soak, but I may have to use acetone--she may be a total re-do. :-(
The poor dog has been freezing to death so I made her a sweater.
The pattern is from the Fall '06 Knitscene in Lion Brand Jiffy.
This poor old scraggly tree has seen better days for sure. Although with it's funky shape and lines, it makes the photo.. otherwise it would be boring. :)
As you can tell we got snow today, is one of those necessary evils. I don't like it but we certainly need it for the farmers this summer... so... it's ok :)
#3 BLEACHING
This is the first time i'm doing this on a #3 (I had done it on #4s with success) . I knew many restorers think it isn't good to try chemicals on a #3 but the owner agreed she didn't like the doll like this. She had darkened a lot, this was caused by smoke (either cigarette or a fire place). I wasn't sure of the results at all (actually I thought I would just improve a bit her condition, and both the owner and I were aware the bleaching process may ruin the doll ...). Finally she turned out pretty good, her face and body are not completely even but she looks like a #3 again. Original paint was damaged during the bleaching process but a lot of it remained.
i found this taking a shotcut home accross a field in salford , were they have pulled down a school a few years back.
it was made of resin but looked the part.
Aunque no lo parezca, esta pequeña culebra estaba muerta. Mi hermano y yo la encontramos durante uno de nuestros paseos por la montaña. No tenía ni golpes ni heridas, estaba intacta. Seguramente murió poco antes de que llegáramos nosotros, aunque no sabemos de qué :( Nos dio pena, pero era realmente bonita, así que aquí está, para el recuerdo.

Believe it or not, this little snake was dead. My brother and I found it during one of our walks in the mountains. It wasn't visibly injured. Probably it died shortly before we got there, but we don't know the reason :( We felt sorry about it, but as you can see it was a very beautiful snake, so here it is.

“You bastard!” cried out the Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring. “You killed Mr. Lamppost!”
As the Aggie Ring and I were driving into the parking lot where our mailbox is at the UPS Store, a very large commercial truck (18 wheeler) ran right into this poor lamppost who was just standing there doing his job.
We’re still trying to figure out how that happened. It’s a parking lot for gosh sakes, not a racetrack. There were no cars nearby and nothing but open space around Mr. Lamppost. The police were called. We suspect that the driver was either drunk, on drugs, using his cell phone to text, or a combination of several of those options.
“How do you run a large commercial vehicle into a lamppost in the middle of an open parking lot?” asked Aggie Ring.
The wake and viewing for Mr. Lamppost will be at the Bongerzone Funeral Parlor in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. Dress is casual and it’s BYOB.
“I’m going to miss that lamppost.” sadly said Aggie Ring.
Chloe is having emergency hernia repair -- and possible intestinal resection -- while I type this. Her hernia repair was originally scheduled for May 30th, but she started vomiting yesterday. Originally, we thought it was her pancreatitis acting up, but when she wasn't feeling better today and when the site of her hernia was solid to the touch, we knew we had to take her in to the emergency clinic. Poor baby. :o(
Edit (12:24 a.m.): Chloe is coming out of her anesthesia now, per a call from the clinic. They had to resect 2 inches of intestines. She may be able to come home Sunday morning.

My hero Mika Hakkinen at the pre-British GP test at Silverstone in 1998. He's such a lovely but shy bloke and was quite overwhelmed by the extra interest in him as he took control of the world championship. I used to go testing every year with the McLaren team until I became ill, and had some great times!
I finally found my disc with all my motor racing pics on them, so I thought I’d add some to the Big Picture to help break this world record.
I bought a Flektogon in "very good condition". Inside I found this dull lens.
It's a group of two cemented lenses and the damage seems to be between them.
Anyway I cound not clean it.
So I made an "aperture" that covers the damaged area of the lens.
The modification costs about half an f-stop brightness and sometimes a bit
strange bokeh. Apart from that the image quality is entirely satisfying.

The old bank's days are numbered, they want to tear it down to "widen the road"
Here it was two years ago
Poor old bank, I remember when you had a roof.
