A quick break in the clouds and a break in the gusts of icy wind delivered this nice scene - we had to act fast for sure!
During my late teens I spent some time working for a local pizza joint. One night a guy came in and asked me if I could give him change for a twenty. I complied and counted out the smaller bills. While I was counting the dough, he asked me if I could give him a couple of fives in place of the ten. All the time he kept up a lively banter. When I'd finished the transaction, he pulled out another twenty and said he forgot he had to pay some money to a friend and would appreciate change for that one too. I sighed and counted out the bills. All the while he kept up the cheerful conversation and once again he asked me to break down one of the tens. Then he asked me to give him a few bucks worth of quarters for the cigarette machine and that was it.
The next morning the manager of the store informed me that I was twenty bucks short when the receipts were tallied up. I knew immediately that I'd been had. To this day I'm not sure how the guy conned me, but con me he did.
Seeing the shady looking guy above at one of counters at the Ferry Building brought back some serious memories.

VUELTA CICLISTA A ESPAÑA 2009: 7ª Etapa: Contrarreloj Valencia.
Algo que pretendÃa ser un barrido... de un ciclista, que una vez más, no se de quién se trata.

I thought saints were born saints, I looked in the dirt and found wisdom is learnt through a costly process of success and failure.
Making some quick block books to fil the shelves. My thinking is the buyer can toss these out as they fill the shelves with individual books.
Never underestimate the cunning, drive and guile of these little green monsters! They will do ANYTHING in order to catch a fish! While attempting to approach this Greenie without frightening him off he repeatedly dove into the water to snatch a fish and then few back to his favorite perch in this old tree lodged in the open area of Horsepen Bayou! These captures are not sequential but will give everyone some idea of just how far these extremely entertaining birds will go for a catch! Sorry for the multiple posts but you'll get the picture! I might also add that my reactions and ability to anticipate his moves lag far behind his actions!

Almost on the spur of the moment, I decided to join friends yesterday afternoon for a birding walk. The weather was so perfect, especially compared to the two consecutive snowstorms we had on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week, that damaged thousands of trees in the city! After a quick look for birds along the avenue of trees near Fish Creek Provincial Park headquarters, we drove down to the Boat Launch area and from there we walked south along the Bow River. The Ospreys were flying near the river ad we saw one of them carrying a fish to take back to their nest. We saw 30 bird species, but nothing close enough for photos. After an enjoyable walk, a few of us called in at Tim Horton's for coffee and a snack.
From there, I called in at a different part of the park and watched a family of Beavers swimming in their pond. While I was waiting, hoping that they might appear, so many American Robins flew from branch to branch in the nearby trees and bushes, sometimes landing, like this colourful male, on the rocks at the edge of the pond. I always feel that Robins are so much taken for granted. Eventually, after a long wait, the Beaver's appeared - this adult, who crossed the path where I was standing, took me off guard, as I had my camera well zoomed. This huge animal walked faster than I was expecting, so it's not the greatest photo. Better than almost all my photos taken of them yesterday, though, as the light was quickly fading and the pond area was too dark. Hope your photos came out much better than mine, Phil! Such a treat to watch this family, especially the young ones. We were amazed, at one moment, when an old wooden pallet started moving in the pond and blocked a small passageway between the banks. One Beaver was pulling this discarded structure all on its own. I wonder if they had originally found it washed up nearby, after the Alberta Flood of the Century last year (2013).
Guy Cormier's art installation «18 shades of gay» has been removed. Hanging over Ste Catherine street since 2011, the 180 000 balls (originally pink, then replaced with the current rainbow colors) quickly became of landmark of Montreal.
It will be missed :(

Montreal, Qc. August 2019.
A 4-man reconnaissance team was compromised and large groups of insurgents began to surround them. As they withdrew, a quick reaction force (QRF) from the Special Operations Regiment was dispatched to assist in the recon team's extraction.
The QRF arrived by helicopter and immediately took fire. The QRF was able to get on the ground, however the helicopter had to return to base after one of its engines was damaged from enemy fire. The QRF fought their way towards the recon team as they peeled towards them. The QRF and the Recon team eventually met up at a riverine.

Many of our old photos from around this time on Flickr were shown mostly in medium sizes and they don't expand to full size. Did Flickr have full screen shots back then? Probably, not. Because of that I may have to revisit for posting them again.
BNSF 2745 leads the Buck Local north through Louisville on a late August evening. 2745 was only on the Buck for about 3 days before being pulled off due to loading issues. Its replacement would be a Dash-840BW.
Had a shoot tonight; need to work on the pictures before upload...
One of the best nights I've ever had. Who said Friday the 13th is typically bad luck? I was given the opportunity to drive this monster along the MEX highway from Putrajaya to Bukit Damansara and hit speeds of up to 270km/h. Incredible... simply incredible monster...
139 photos of the sunset merged into one image. The clouds were moving a little faster than I'd like, making the streaks they painted in the sky a little rough. I prefer smoother streaks, which can be achieved with a shorter interval between shots, but I would have to switch to JPEG format instead of RAW, and I don't really want to do that.
I wish they would make the image writing buffer larger.
Quick category sort is complete. Will fine sort what needs fully sorted for next month and put the rest to the side and sort that out if there is time, other wise it will be put on hold for a bit.

A short lived pennzoil quick lube sits in a pasture, open for a short time and still standing showing its original build quality. It sits far enough from the road that its not been either vandalized or tagged.
Night, near full moon, 180 second exposure, protomachines flashlight set to green, orange and a shot of natural white to the front to fill in the shadows. Moon glow visible in the top of the frame.
