Taken last week over in Peoria. There are four of these guys and gals running around. This was taken in the late afternoon on a sunny day, but there was some decent shade in the tiger area.

LANDOVER, Md. -- Jay Gruden's Washington Redskins have not won two games in a row all season. They followed a 33-point victory with a 28-point loss. They are 5-1 at home, 0-5 on the road. They tend to have a hard time running the ball -- and stopping the run.
And yet, for all of their deficiencies and inconsistency, the Redskins are right there at the top of the NFC East.
Kirk Cousins connected with DeSean Jackson for a 63-yard touchdown pass and scored on a fourth-down quarterback sneak, Washington intercepted Eli Manning three times, and the Redskins withstood the latest miraculous catch by Odell Beckham Jr. to hold on and beat the New York Giants 20-14 Sunday, pulling into a tie for first place.
Eli's interceptions dig too big a hole for Giants.
The Giants cannot win when they turn the ball over more than their opponent does. So on Sunday against Washington, they weren't able to overcome Eli Manning's three interceptions. They didn't collect any of their own. And even a fourth-quarter rally that featured another dazzling Odell Beckham Jr. touchdown catch wasn't enough.
The Redskins effort boosted by players-only meeting Saturday night.
An airing of players' comments and/or grievances helped the Redskins get on the same page for Sunday's win against the Giants.
Quinton Dunbar, Redskins resiliency lead big win over Giants.
The Washington Redskins needed more corner help this summer, thanks to a depleted roster. Undrafted rookie free-agent receiver Quinton Dunbar responded Sunday, symbolizing in many ways what the Redskins have done as a team.
"We're just in the driver's seat right now," Redskins defensive end Jason Hatcher said. "We've just got to continue winning games and driving the car -- right into the playoffs."
New York trailed 20-0 before making things interesting as Manning threw fourth-quarter TD passes of 40 yards to Rueben Randle and 21 yards to Beckham, who took off from the 2 to make a fantastic diving grab, corralling the ball with his left hand while parallel to the ground.
"What can you say about that?" Redskins left tackle Trent Williams said. "That's not human."
The Giants came in off their bye and with a chance to create space in the standings. Instead, they're 5-6, just like the Redskins, with five games remaining. The Philadelphia Eagles (4-7) and Dallas Cowboys (3-8), both routed on Thanksgiving Day, are the other members of the mediocre division.
Beckham's assessment?
"We came out flat," he said. "Too many mistakes."
On a chilly, dreary day, New York's first two possessions ended when passes by Manning went in and out of receivers' hands and were picked off -- first by linebacker Perry Riley Jr., then by cornerback Will Blackmon. And on the Giants' first drive of the second half, Manning's throw from the 4 was intercepted in the end zone by rookie Quinton Dunbar.
It was the 20th three-interception game of two-time Super Bowl MVP Manning's career; he had only six picks all season until Sunday. He wound up 26 for 51 for 321 yards; Beckham had nine catches for 142 yards.
New York's first 10 drives culminated in three turnovers and seven punts. On the team's 11th possession, Manning finally put some points on the board, hitting Randle. Then came Beckham's highlight-reel grab.
But it was too little, too late.
Washington led 17-0 at halftime, thanks in part to Cousins' 1-yard TD sneak with under 2 minutes to go that generated a full-throated chorus of "Hail to the Redskins!" As the teams headed to the locker rooms soon thereafter, fans gave a standing ovation, a rare salute to a club that has finished last in the NFC East in six of the past seven seasons.
"They done put up with a lot of stuff around here," Hatcher said.
Cousins was 20 for 29 for 302 yards, including the long TD to Jackson -- who taunted the Giants by strutting along the goal line before actually crossing it.
"A spur-of-the-moment thing. I just felt like doing it," said Jackson, who returned punts for the first time this season. "You never know what you get with me."
Cousins' most important stat was probably this: zero interceptions. When the fourth-year QB avoids getting picked off this season, Washington is 5-0; when he throws at least one interception, the team is 0-6.
All part of what's been a wildly fluctuating Redskins team in Gruden's second year.
That's why safety Dashon Goldson said he organized a players'-only meeting Saturday.
"Everybody got stuff of their chest. How they were feeling. What they thought about the team and where we're at and what we need to do to progress," Goldson said. "We're just so much up and down."
For the moment, at least, they're on the upswing.
Red Weasel Media was there to capture all of the action.
Hopefully with more practice I’ll become close to that feminine image I wish to achieve! Loving this time as Michaela!
The Pittsburgh Riverhounds Soccer team practicing before their Friday game against Cleveland airing on ESPN 2. Practice was special today because 4 development team players were brought up to practice with the pros and they used the opportunity to adjust to the speed and intensity of professional level players. Drills, like "Tag" emphasized agility and mobility. Head coach Bob preached spacing, quick decision-making, and playing forward.
Follow the Riverhounds!

I had fun yesterday using SculpeyIII. I need to practice making these a bit smaller, and use longer pins and then I'm "going into business" hopefully selling these at my local quilt shop. (Too bad the owner hasn't even heard of my plan yet. LOL)

I recently acquired a, quite rare, Rollinear no2 close-up accessory for my Rolleiflex 2.8F twin lens reflex camera. The Rolleinar comprises two auxillary lenses. One lens fits over the main taking lens of the camera and allows closer focusing. A second lens, with a prism, fits over the camera's viewing lens and allows you to focus correctly and compensates for parallax.
Normally, the closest focusing distance of the 80mm Xenotar taking lens is about 1m. With the Rolleinar no2 attached, it will focus in the range 33cm to 50cm. You can also get a weaker Rolleinar no1 or a stronger Rolleinar no3. Using a Rolleinar drastically reduces DOF.
This picture is from my first roll using the Rolleinar no2.
"Imperfect" is the photo prompt for today. Much of what I do is imperfect, but I wanted to capture a moment that reflected the summer time with our grandsons. ....Wressey practices his trumpet...often imperfectly...but each time is closer to perfect!. #cy365 day 167 #practicemakes perfect
