Seemingly abandoned on someone's drive but still holding up well. No way to tell how long it's been there, but a fair while by the looks of it
This seemingly huge lizard was spotted by a friend while looking for birds. We thought it must be a Chuckwalla on account of the size, but those do not have spiny scales. It looks to be:
Clark's Spiny Lizard - Sceloporus clarkii (to 144 mm length!)
Shows, I think, these characters of S. clarkii:
a-3 prominent ear scales
b-incomplete collar
c-dark crossbands on forelimbs (faint, but just visible!)

The seemingly endless onslaught on men wanting a piece (or two) of me has been grinding my nerves lately. I've been unusually comfortable in my skin, not feeling the need to impress, but content with the way things are, caring more about the girl I am once I open my mouth than the one so accustomed to batting mascaraed eyelashes and smirking at handsome strangers. Maybe it's too much to ask, but I'd like to think I'm a little more than just easy on the eyes.
A seemingly interesting room with a one-way mirror, obviously for interviews or observation.
I suspect that the person who was last being "Interviewed" had about enough of it and wanted to know who was watching them..
The seemingly endless building and renovations at the Vancouver International Airport are finished. At least on the day of our visit, there were vast areas of shining new check-in stations empty and still. Eerie. Please View Large On Black
Seemingly Xin Ka Er enjoy copying the designs of other toy makers, primarily Matchbox, and then giving them oversized headlights compared to the originals! Their Matchbox aping 2006 Fire Engine for example has rather large horizontally placed units which again they've used blue coloured plastic for and for me actually makes it look a tad more realistic than the one by Matchbox.
Cost saving means a large part of its body has disappeared giving it a single cab appearance though its cheapo grey plastic ladder is fully functioning.
Unusually for a Xin Ka Er product this was sold as a single and found in a Chinese bazaar whilst out in Spain.
Mint and boxed.
Seemingly all the grackles in town congregate over by highland mall in the evenings. I stopped to take a couple of pictures, but most didn't come out. Digital.
After a seemingly endless renovation, we're finally done and some new lights were recently installed. I've tried to take some regular angles to experiment. This one is an almost-Orthographic bottom view.
Regarding Comments: I'm an amateur photographer and hence, would like to improve with each shot. Now I'm not against a "nice" or "I don't like it" comment. But if you could tell me why it is good or bad, I could improve on my work. So if you could, by way of comments or notes suggest alternative cropping, or different angles and so on, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
Smiles, seemingly elusive in this photo shoot. His laugh lines on his face are more pronounced than the wrinkles on his forehead. For this image I really wanted to emphasize his lighthearted side. This image really stands in contrast to all the other images. Also, he was becoming concerned I was emphasizing his wrinkles too much and making him look old. So, here's to you, a softer gentler "Ned".
See set description for my narrative on this photo session.
Seemingly in reponse to last night's "state of the union speech" (and much else) a number of these signs appeared im my neighborhood this a.m.
The interior is a delight, seemingly unrestored, long and low with a plastered ceiling to the nave, a strange almost featureless chancel arch and a fine C15 panelled wagon roof to the chancel having carved wall plates with fleurons, ribs and bosses (although most of these restored). The clue was the small windows at the west end of the nave for a west gallery, although the present one seems to be more of a reinstatement of what was once here rather than original C17 work which the listing information says (and Pevsner offers early C19). It is accessed by a pull down ladder on small wheels, and you can closely inspect the Royal Arms dated 1792. Much of the woodwork is C17, there is extra seating available by pulling out sliding benches. Painted texts on the wall too, including one "The aged women...... shall teach the young women to be sober, to be chaste, keepers at home, to love their husbands." The north transept is subdivided and has a glazed screen to the two sections beyond (locked). The only jarring features, clearly seen in my view, the electronic sixties/seventies-styled organ behind the C13 font and the prominently displayed fire extinguisher! The village stocks are preserved in the porch, presumably for among others those young women who did not heed the advice inside!
After seemingly hours of driving through trees, you er... get to see the topss of trees. *sigh*
I know you'd love to:
Seemingly bats are associated with happiness in China and are normally depicted as colourful creatures (in strong contrast to the horror association in the west)
Seemingly Greater Manchester's most frequent bus journey, if the destination display is anything to go by. A significant number of vehicles can now be seen running off service, from recent observation most of them appear to be from Metroline, only to re-appear a short time later - probably after a driver changeover. One hopes all this dead running was priced into the Contract bids for the Bee Network. Enviro 400 Hybrid TEH138, once of Stagecoach Manchester (12193) illustrates the point as it passes along London Road close to Piccadilly Rail Station.

Seemingly unrelated, the sextant, earthquakes, and port gave rise to what we now know as Portugal. In short, the invention of the sextant jump started the “age of discovery” and Portugal’s conquest of Brasil, Spain, Madagascar, Macau and others. Barrels of wine enticed sailors to endure the stench of life abroad. To keep the wine from fermenting into vinegar, brandy and cherries were added and thereby unwittingly creating port. England’s thirst literally fortified Portugal’s economy in the 18th century.
From the 2000 flamingos that winter in the Rio Formosa to the Moorish, Romans and Celtic, Portugal has a history of migrations.
This history is what shapes Portugal’s architecture, language and cuisine abound. For example, centuries of Roman influence account for the number of words that begin with “Al”, the word Arabic sounds like “a rabbit”.
In the Algarve Moorish mosques became Catholic monasteries and are now train depots, police stations, and other public facilities. Castles of various dictators are tourists attractions.
A seemingly random bronze statue of a Maine lobsterman, with an uncanny resemblance to Will Rogers, located on the waterfront in Washington DC. (I wonder if he ever met a lobster he didn't like.) The statue only has the rather cryptic note that it was "placed here by the State of Maine, Camp Fire - Gundy's Harbor and their many friends."
Seemingly all wheels as Jordan Lloyd (#94) and Thomas Randle battle at Goodyear, Shannons Nationals, Mallala 2014

Seemingly aligned with the distant natural outcrop of rock.
It always seems to be cold & windy out on the moor but that can't possibly be the case all the time!

Seemingly this is my 200th photograph. I have to upgrade to a paid account to upload more, and I'll have to think about that one. So if you would like to continue viewing my photographs you can go to www.headphoneland.com and view them there on a daily basis.
Thanks for all the comments so far by the way. It's been great.
These seemingly random windows were built in the living room so that the girl of the house can spy on suitors to see if she likes them. she never ended up liking any of them b/c they were not as good as her father....do i smell incest?! jk =)
...the two-braid approach to curly-hair management DID keep me from growing the obnoxious dreadlocks that my hair grows when left to its own unshowering devices.
Thanks to a super-cute family for taking the picture:)
seemingly all the plants i encountered were deciduous, and still in dead-mode. kind of bleak for being 66º out, walking the trails in short sleeves, and having driven there with the top down. this was like a little tiny evergreen in the clearing with the power lines, and it was a nice refreshing splash of color for the day…

When Robert Cremean walked through the seemingly
endless corridors of the Vatican Museum in Rome, he was
struck not only by the vastness of the place but by the
number of sculptures it contains, many of which are
neutered by a fig leaf. To him, the sculptures in the museum
represented an enormous collection of mixed metaphors and
only a rare few met his definition of “transparency.” On the
fourth page of his Preparatory Study for VATICAN
CORRIDOR, A Non-Specific Autobiography he wrote:
The enclosure of one metaphor by another—one culture by
another—one time segment by another. “Paganism” is preserved
through forfeit of genitalia—neutered by a fig leaf. Miles of
historical artifacts enclosed within an historical artifact. And yet
there are a few presences that are not dead—not neutered. A few
glimpses— Man existing without metaphor. A few Transparencies.
Are these not worth the endless walk?
Within the concept “One man=all men,” VATICAN
CORRIDOR, A Non-Specific Autobiography was conceived as
an actual and metaphorical record of the journey through
the life of the artist and, by extension, a projection of the
possibilities we all share and may attain. Within both of the
facing walls are ten carved life-sized figures symbolically
conjoined by arches to form a “corridor of the self. ” As Robert
Cremean wrote:
Each arch represents three years and the Corridor of Self-Analysis
begins with my seventeenth year.
It was within the time span of the First Arch he declared
himself a sculptor.
Prior to acquiring the materials necessary for the actualizing
of the sculpture in wood, he spent two months creating
the detailed preparatory study for the entire work, a process
he had followed on only two prior occasions, one for
DONOR WITH CRUCIFIXION and the other, although more
suggestive than detailed, for HOMAGE TO PAUL APOSTLE.
From the first three pages of searching to the final pages of
resolution, the artist’s graphic description of the threedimensional
work provides us with the opportunity to read
the artist’s philosophical concepts for that specific work of
art and to understand how these concepts are interpreted
symbolically through the human figure. Since this is an
actual and a metaphorical autobiography, the Preparatory
Study for VATICAN CORRIDOR, A Non-Specific Autobiography
literarily addresses both.
Because each of the ten arches in the Preparatory Study
and in the completed sculpture spans a period of three years
in the artist’s life, the Tenth Arch was a projection five years
into the future and was at last updated twenty-two years
later in the writing in 1995, and with the publication by
Manuscript Press in 1996, of THE TENTH ARCH, the sculptural
Tenth Arch realized in the form of a book.
As the name implies, the sculpture is in the form of an
actual corridor. It measures eight feet tall, forty feet in length,
and with a width of ten feet. The facing walls of the corridor
are each formed by ten carved blocks of laminated sugar pine
planks for an overall measurement each of 8' x 24½" x 16".
The first figure of the Outer Wall, the “who,”is nearly fully
revealed in the round. But by the Tenth Arch, it has been transposed
into a negative, much like a waste-mold, only the egg
shape of the final transposition still in place. Block by block
and transposition after transposition, the three-dimensional
figure is displaced by a concavity as the wall that contained it
grows thicker and thicker. The reverse is true in each of the
corresponding figures and blocks of the Inner Wall. Each part
of the human figure is symbolic of a particular sense and/or
concept and with its transference the figure of the Inner Wall,
the “what,” becomes more complete.
Shown here is the final page of the manuscript which
lists the actual parts of the Anatomy of Transposition. It is
followed by the first four pages which serve both as an
explanation of the Preparatory Study and of the concept of
the entire sculpture. Each page of the original manuscript
measures 17" x 14".

Seemingly it used to be common for trainee officers at Sandhurst to carve their names into the brickwork of Camberley's obelisk. Including a certain W. Churchill.
Seemingly, no one wants to see this guy pic, but personally I like him. He looked so cute standing there watching the parade...

Seemingly harmless looking, the cone snail is actually a predatory animal that uses a specialized harpoon-like tooth to inject lethal venom into prey. They can be found in the Indian Ocean, Pacific Oceans, Great Barrier Reef, southern Australia, Baja California, California, and Hawaii. Cone snails live in predominantly shallow water near coral reefs. They hide under coral shelves, in the sand, or under piles of debris. Some can even be found living among mangroves. This article is dedicated to Katie.
First the Stats...
Scientific name: Conidae
Weight: Up to 5+ ounces
Length: Up to 8.5 inches
Lifespan: Up to 20 years
Now on to the Facts!
1.) They snag their prey by the use of harpoon-like hollow teeth (radula) that are rapidly stabbed into their prey to inject their toxic venom.
2.) Smaller cone snails' stings hurt with no more punch than a bee sting. But larger ones, like Conus geographus, Conus tulipa and Conus striatus, have a sting that can sometimes be fatal.
3.) These snails are divided into 3 groups: piscivores - fish eaters, molluscivores - mollusk/snail eaters, and vermivores - worm eaters. The fish eaters are the most dangerous.
4.) Most cone snails are nocturnal (active at night) but some are crepuscular (active during dawn and dusk).
5.) The 3 main types of perception used are tactile (using its foot), visual (eyes to detect light), and chemoreception (detecting dissolved chemicals in the water).
But wait, there's more on the cone snail!
6.)
Rogers described as "seemingly portions of a raised tomb" fragments of sculpted stone decorated with gothic quatrefoils and heraldic shields
These form a small box-like object now situated railed-off on the floor against the east wall of the north aisle under the mural monument to John Courtenay 1732. This object was referred to by W.G. Hoskins as "a curious double heart-stone...a receptacle for the hearts of a Courtenay and his wife". The escutcheons show the arms of Courtenay alone and quartering a bend, on which in 1877 were visible three indistinct charges.
One escutcheon (bottom right) shows within a quatrefoil the arms of Courtenay of Molland supported by two dolphins, a heraldic badge of Courtenay of Powderham, beneath two interlaced Hungerford sickles, the heraldic badge of that family en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manor_of_Molland#/media/File:Hunger...
It therefore may well be the remains of the tomb of Philip Courtenay 1489 - the 1st Courtenay to be seated here after being given the manor of Molland by his mother at the time of his marriage to 1st wife Elizabeth 1438 - 1482 daughter of Sir John de Wonwell of Wonwell Court, Kingston, Devon widow of William Hyndeston of Wonwell 1458 with a son Robert Hyndeston 1452 -1480
Philip was the son of Sir Philip Courtenay 1463 of Powderham & Elizabeth heiress of Molland, daughter of Walter 1st Baron Hungerford 1449 & 1st wife Catherine daughter of Sir Thomas Peverell (his sister Elizabeth Luttrell Touchet Carey is at Dunster flic.kr/p/oGa2Wr )
