Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: he hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rims at it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft. Where be your gibes now? your gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one now, to mock your own grinning? quite chap-fallen? Now get you to my lady’s chamber, and tell her, let her paint an inch thick, to this favour she must come; make her laugh at that.

She really had her hands, er paws, full with these two cubs. They'd been up on the tundra earlier filling up on berries and when they came down to the river, one of them, the one closest to mom was all wound up. Must have been sugared up from all the berries, but he was starting all kinds of trouble with his sibling and then his mom. It was hilarious to watch. I got some great shots
He faught very hard to catch the salmon and even though the salmon was very fast, it looked as the bear was going to catch it, but at the last moment the bear slipped on the rocks and the fish got away.
This poor old Canada Goose is really struggling to get to grips with hide and seek school. I’m sure it thought that by staying really still (which it did) I wouldn’t see them. They weren’t so lucky this time. I spotted them while walking the gravel pit trail at Fingringhoe.
D had his 1 year shots almost 3 weeks ago now. He had the MMR and chicken pox shot.
So, of course, he is one of the few that actually developed the measels and chicken pox from the shots. :(
He is on the mend and looking much better this week! :)
I dug this out from a few weeks ago when we were at the park. He isn't feeling like getting his picture taken this week.
Poor little fella....
Even hummers can get ticks. It makes one wonder how they get rid of them in the wild.
It's been a very ticky summer this year. I haven't seen any for almost a month, though. Maybe their season has past.
The female Maevia inclemens jumping spider is my #28 spider for this year. The females of this species are bigger than a lot of critters ( 7 - 10 mm) and nearly always seems to be cradling a nice food item. Here she's preparing to consume my #29 spider for this year, which looks a bit like a kitten and is as of yet unidentified. (UPDATE: Possibly Peppered Jumper Female - Pelegrina galathea.)
Maevia inclemens (dimorphic jumping spider) is that same species as two male spiders I've posted - one black with three tufts on it's head and the other one striped sort of like a zebra with yellow palps.
Id corrections appreciated.
Found in a field down the street in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Spring thaw begins in Gilford, NH. Pictured is Poor Farm Brook.
Well, I'm quite obviously still no portrait-photographer and this lens isn't close to what anyone would consider sharp... and yet, I really like the look it creates. There could be more interesting subjects for sure… perhaps one day, who knows.
Oh, by the way: that lens is likely somewhere between 80 and 100 years old - it‘s really hard to say for sure, but I‘m trying to find out.

Safe passage by road between most of Scotland and much of coastal Argyll is blocked by the Arrochar Alps – a range of hills far smaller than their European counterparts but still with plenty of ruggedness of their own. Rest and Be Thankful is the summit of a scenic road pass well worth driving for the views alone, even if you aren’t using it to get somewhere. Beinn an Lochain, Ben Donich and several more of the “Alps” are all well seen (and climbed) from the road, with an equally fine view down Glen Croe (not to be confused with Glencoe!) from the top. This pass has been the way across since 1752 when soldiers constructed a military road over the bealach here – imagine the effort involved in ascending before cars were invented and the reason for the name becomes obvious. The pass is still vulnerable in poor weather: although the road doesn’t reach a particularly great height, heavy rain causes frequent landslides and rockfalls at all times of year, despite multi-million pound efforts to prevent them. In case of closure, a winding but more reliable single-track diversion (ironically using the exact line of the old military road) provides a potential work-around, provided it isn’t threatened by landslides itself.
We have to keep him gently mobilising to juice his joints unless he will cease-up. Gentle walks, always in the Kent countryside at his pace, a little rest before a "sniff" interests him once more XXX
SN/NC: Neomarica Gracilis, Iridaceae Family
Syn: Marica Caerulea, Cypella Caerulea, Galathea Speciosa, Trimezia Caerulea, Neomarica Northiana
One of the most beautiful blooms of spring comes from an unusual member of the Iris family — the walking iris (Neomarica gracilis). Neomarica is a clumping perennial that reaches anywhere from 18 to 36 inches (45-90 cm.). And once you see its flowers, you will appreciate another of its common names—the poor man’s orchid (not to be confused with the Schizanthus poor man’s orchid). This exotic-looking plant with its graceful sword-like foliage has white, yellow or blue flowers that resemble a cross between those of an orchid and an iris. Although they are short lived, lasting only a day, numerous blooms continue to follow over an extended period of time throughout spring, summer and fall. Growing walking iris plants is a great way to enjoy these interesting flowers.
Una de las flores más hermosas de la primavera proviene de un miembro inusual de la familia Iris: el lirio caminante (Neomarica gracilis). Neomarica es una planta perenne aglomerante que alcanza entre 18 y 36 pulgadas (45-90 cm). Y una vez que veas sus flores, apreciarás otro de sus nombres comunes: la orquídea del pobre (que no debe confundirse con la orquídea del pobre Schizanthus). Esta planta de aspecto exótico con su elegante follaje en forma de espada tiene flores blancas, amarillas o azules que se asemejan a un cruce entre las de una orquídea y un lirio. Aunque son de corta duración, ya que duran solo un día, numerosas floraciones continúan durante un período prolongado de tiempo durante la primavera, el verano y el otoño. Cultivar plantas de lirios andantes es una excelente manera de disfrutar de estas interesantes flores.

Cultivar plantas de íris ambulantes é uma ótima maneira de apreciar essas flores interessantes.
Nomes populares no Brasil: Íris-da-praia, planta conhecida popularmente também como: íris caminhante, planta-dos-apóstolos, doze-apóstolos, lírio-branco-das-pedreiras, falso iris, pseudo iris azul e lírio-branco-das-pedras.
L'une des plus belles fleurs du printemps provient d'un membre inhabituel de la famille Iris - l'iris ambulant (Neomarica gracilis). Neomarica est une plante vivace agglomérante qui atteint de 18 à 36 pouces (45 à 90 cm). Et une fois que vous aurez vu ses fleurs, vous apprécierez un autre de ses noms communs : l'orchidée du pauvre (à ne pas confondre avec l'orchidée du pauvre Schizanthus). Cette plante d'aspect exotique au feuillage gracieux en forme d'épée a des fleurs blanches, jaunes ou bleues qui ressemblent à un croisement entre celles d'une orchidée et d'un iris. Bien qu'elles soient de courte durée, ne durant qu'une journée, de nombreuses floraisons continuent de suivre sur une longue période de temps tout au long du printemps, de l'été et de l'automne. Cultiver des plantes d'iris ambulants est un excellent moyen de profiter de ces fleurs intéressantes.
Een van de mooiste bloemen van de lente komt van een ongewoon lid van de Iris-familie: de wandelende iris (Neomarica gracilis). Neomarica is een klonterende vaste plant die ergens tussen de 18 en 36 inch (45-90 cm) reikt. En als je eenmaal de bloemen ziet, zul je een andere veel voorkomende naam waarderen: de orchidee van de arme man (niet te verwarren met de Schizanthus-orchidee van de arme man). Deze exotisch ogende plant met sierlijk zwaardachtig blad heeft witte, gele of blauwe bloemen die het midden houden tussen die van een orchidee en een iris. Hoewel ze van korte duur zijn en slechts een dag duren, blijven er in de lente, zomer en herfst talloze bloemen volgen gedurende een langere periode. Het kweken van wandelende irisplanten is een geweldige manier om van deze interessante bloemen te genieten.
Una delle più belle fioriture primaverili proviene da un insolito membro della famiglia degli Iris: l'iris ambulante (Neomarica gracilis). Neomarica è una pianta perenne agglomerante che raggiunge ovunque da 18 a 36 pollici (45-90 cm.). E una volta che vedrai i suoi fiori, apprezzerai un altro dei suoi nomi comuni: l'orchidea del povero (da non confondere con l'orchidea del povero Schizanthus). Questa pianta dall'aspetto esotico con il suo grazioso fogliame simile a una spada ha fiori bianchi, gialli o blu che ricordano un incrocio tra quelli di un'orchidea e di un iris. Sebbene siano di breve durata, durano solo un giorno, numerose fioriture continuano a seguire per un lungo periodo di tempo durante la primavera, l'estate e l'autunno. Coltivare piante di iris ambulanti è un ottimo modo per godersi questi fiori interessanti.
Eine der schönsten Frühlingsblüten stammt von einem ungewöhnlichen Mitglied der Schwertlilienfamilie – der Wanderiris (Neomarica gracilis). Neomarica ist eine klumpende Staude, die irgendwo zwischen 18 und 36 Zoll (45-90 cm) erreicht. Und sobald Sie ihre Blüten sehen, werden Sie einen anderen ihrer gebräuchlichen Namen zu schätzen wissen – die Orchidee des armen Mannes (nicht zu verwechseln mit der Orchidee des armen Mannes Schizanthus). Diese exotisch aussehende Pflanze mit ihrem anmutigen, schwertähnlichen Laub hat weiße, gelbe oder blaue Blüten, die einer Kreuzung zwischen Orchidee und Iris ähneln. Obwohl sie nur von kurzer Dauer sind und nur einen Tag dauern, folgen zahlreiche Blüten über einen längeren Zeitraum im Frühling, Sommer und Herbst. Der Anbau von Walking Iris-Pflanzen ist eine großartige Möglichkeit, diese interessanten Blumen zu genießen.
واحدة من أجمل أزهار الربيع تأتي من عضو غير عادي من عائلة Iris - قزحية المشي (Neomarica gracilis). Neomarica عبارة عن نبات معمر متكتل يصل في أي مكان من 18 إلى 36 بوصة (45-90 سم). وبمجرد أن ترى أزهارها ، ستقدر اسمًا آخر من الأسماء الشائعة - أوركيد الرجل الفقير (لا ينبغي الخلط بينه وبين سحلية الرجل الفقير من شيزانتوس). هذا النبات ذو المظهر الغريب بأوراقه الرشيقة التي تشبه السيف لها أزهار بيضاء أو صفراء أو زرقاء تشبه تقاطع أزهار الأوركيد والقزحية. على الرغم من أنها قصيرة العمر ، وتستمر ليوم واحد فقط ، إلا أن العديد من الإزهار تستمر في المتابعة على مدى فترة طويلة من الزمن طوال الربيع والصيف والخريف. تعد زراعة نباتات السوسن طريقة رائعة للاستمتاع بهذه الزهور الممتعة.
春の最も美しい花の 1 つは、アヤメ科の珍しいメンバーである歩くアヤメ (Neomarica gracilis) から来ます。 Neomarica は、18 ～ 36 インチ (45 ～ 90 cm) の範囲に達する群生する多年草です。 そして、その花を見ると、もう 1 つの一般的な名前である貧乏人蘭 (Schizanthus 貧乏人蘭と混同しないでください) に気付くでしょう。 優雅な剣のような葉を持つこのエキゾチックな植物には、ランとアイリスの交配に似た白、黄色、または青の花があります。 開花期間は 1 日と短命ですが、春、夏、秋と長期間にわたって多数の花が咲き続けます。 歩くアヤメの植物を育てることは、これらの興味深い花を楽しむのに最適な方法です.
Our poor hydrangea is looking very sad.

Try large and thank you for your favourites. :)
Baxter was trying so hard to get under the fence to make friends with them, and they seemed so friendly. There were several more of them, and they are staying on the Gypsy Field here in Stow.
This female killdeer has a nest with four eggs up on the hill behind the house. She puts on this act every time I walk up there. Those red dirt castings on the left are from a big Harverster ant bed. For fifteen summers I''ve walked up there and surveyed this ant bed in hopes of finding a Horned Lizard. No luck. Two connected species in peril- the ants and the horny toads.
We were at Crescent Beach in South Surrey last week, it was a warm cloudy day with some sun, however, the weather turned to the worse upon our departure. A sailboat was returning as the wind started to gather strength. The sky turned dark as more thick clouds were rolling in. Fortunately. only rain drizzle rather than heavy downpour followed. By the time it started to rain, we were already enjoying the cool dry comfort in our vehicle! Yes, the weather on that day was rather warm, so the car's air conditioning was always on!!
The D7000 is supposed to be weather sealed, but I wasn't going to risk it in 50mph winds and blowing snow. So, I made this zip lock camera bag to give me some extra protection. I had seen something like this online before, but thought I'd share anyway.
I cut a hole for the lens opening and used the threads of the lens hood to tighten down on the plastic bag. I also cut a hole for the viewfinder and used the eye piece to snap down on top of the bag. Tiny holes were also cut for the shoulder strap connections.
I was able to reach almost any button I needed through the bag, but adjusting the zoom on the lens was difficult. Also, take note that this probably won't work with a telescoping zoom. Overall, it worked really well, and I'll probably use it again.
