Snarky Puppy, Metropole Orkest: The Curtain

I'm on/off for some days
and wish you all a happy weekend :))
I wanted to get a shot that shows the frenetic action on my deck rail when I put down food. The Redpolls that wait in the Lilac hedge start coming in before I am finished laying down the chopped sunflower seed hearts. If I stand quietly, some will feed within two meters of me.
I don't have this angle from my bathroom window. I backed off on the deck to get this shot. The Redpolls in this image represent about 20% of the Redpolls present. Many more were feeding on other places on the rail.
The Nuthaches, Chickadees, Juncos, House Finches, and House Sparrows also readily eat these morsels.
I will try to get some multi-species shots. The Redpolls aren't aggressive with other species, but are quite snarky with eachother over feeding space.
Edmonton, Alberta.

When the Honorary Deadmore Award arrived in the mail,
Selma knew her place at the Deadmore table was gone.
The award was a snarky way of the family's matriarch Morbid
Deadmore informing you weren't in the inner circle and so,
you were gone and forgotten.
Selma knew there was only one way to make things right,
she was going to have to invite auntie Morbid for some tea..

My beloved Mr. Snuggles, our loving dog who is heading for a thirteenth birthday next year. Precocious, sometime downright snarky with a looks like this one that convey how he feels about things. Posting this a day late as obligations yesterday kept me from posting for National Dog Day which is August 26. Happy National Dog Day old friend, you are very loved and your loyalty toward me and the family is wonderful. Love ya buddy!
A hawk sits on a branch looking like it just stepped out of a true‑crime reenactment and is deeply offended you noticed. Its chest feathers are streaked with what is very obviously leftover breakfast, but according to him? Pure coincidence. Wrong place, wrong time, wrong squirrel. The yellow eyes say “mind your business,” the feathers say “I absolutely did not mind mine.”
The whole scene is peaceful blue sky, green leaves, soft light and then there’s this feathery little war criminal perched in the middle of it, pretending he’s just enjoying the weather. Nature’s most chaotic employee caught mid‑shift, still clocked in, still dangerous, still judging you.
My latest photography is now available for purchase at crsimages.pixels.com/, featuring prints, framed art, and more from my curated collections.
This dragonfly is out here posing like it’s the undisputed CEO of Twigs & Regret™, perched on a branch that looks one sneeze away from disintegrating. The wings? Stunning. The body? Precision-engineered sass. The attitude? “I woke up like this, and you wish you did.”
Every vein in those wings is screaming, “Zoom in, I dare you.” Meanwhile, the twig is giving “I was not emotionally prepared for this photoshoot.” The background melts away in soft bokeh bliss, because even the scenery knows better than to compete with this level of insect-level delusion and confidence.
It’s macro photography meets runway arrogance, nature’s tiniest diva demanding the spotlight and absolutely earning it.

This image captures the sun in full diva mode, high in the sky, halo blazing, lens flares descending like a celestial mic drop. Below it, cumulus clouds puff themselves up like they’re trying to get noticed, while the water just lies there, shimmering politely, pretending not to be overwhelmed.
It’s a scene that screams “I’m beautiful and I know it,” with the sun doing everything short of singing its own theme song. The clouds stretch across the horizon like they’re auditioning for a weather app background, and the water reflects it all like a passive-aggressive mirror.
This is nature’s version of a group selfie where one person clearly didn’t get the memo about subtlety.

Two lovers stand in the surf, locked in a kiss that looks poetic… until you remember the water is cold, the sand is uneven, and someone definitely stepped on something squishy.
This black‑and‑white capture turns a classic romantic moment into a slice of real‑world chaos, the kind of beach date where passion meets poor planning. It’s tender, messy, and painfully relatable, wrapped in a snarky wink at how love actually feels outside the movies.

Now no snarky tacky allusions to viagra.......... but you do wonder how the insect pollinator encounters the pollen so far out from the Pistil, and the source of whatever nectar attracts it? Amazing tropical flower. The botanists out there can tell me the name and save us all time roaming about Google. Photographed at Punta Custodio, 2 hours north of Puerto Vallarta, on the Mexican coast.
Since no Botanist called, I went to Google. This is Caesalpinia pulcherrima, and is a species of flowering plant in the pea family, Fabaceae, native to the tropics and subtropics of the Americas.
Common names for this species include poinciana, peacock flower, red bird of paradise, Mexican bird of paradise, dwarf poinciana, pride of Barbados, flos pavonis, and flamboyant-de-jardin. I hate not knowing what I am seeing.......
This is what happens when the sky decides to spiral. Thick clouds roll in like they’ve just read your search history, and the light breaking through? That’s not hope, it’s dramatic lighting for your emotional unraveling. The water below plays it cool, reflecting just enough shimmer to pretend everything’s fine, while the horizon quietly packs a go-bag.
It’s a scene that whispers “impending doom” but in a really aesthetically pleasing way. The rays of light slice through the gloom like nature’s passive-aggressive commentary. You’re not in danger… yet. But the vibe?
Absolutely untrustworthy. This is the kind of image that belongs on the cover of a moody indie album or the final shot before the credits roll.

A group of silhouettes gathers on a dock, framed by trees and bathed in the soft glow of a setting sun. It looks peaceful. It looks reflective. It looks like someone’s about to deliver a heartfelt speech that none of the kids will remember because they’re already texting under the table.
The water glimmers with quiet judgment. The sky leans in like a tired therapist. And the dock? It’s just trying to hold everyone together while the parents pretend they’re in control. This isn’t a family moment, it’s a hostage situation with snacks.
It’s nature’s way of saying: “You can gather. You can talk. But don’t expect compliance.”

It's the first trip for the "enhanced" special duty engines to polish Great Lakes Division rails in their new role as captive power on the OCS.
Westbound deadhead moves for the Office Car Special from Toledo to Chicago normally are nocturnal. Not a good thing due to the line being busier overnight.
This run was an exception. With nothing in our way between Toledo and Elkhart, we just covered 145 miles in 110 minutes. With bulletin and timetable speed restrictions included, our average speed was 75.8 mph!
The dispatcher has decided to give us a quick timeout at CP 423. While an eastbound is fueling at the mainline fuel pad on track two, he has routed train 20Q to run around it on track one.
With no tripod or even a pole to lean on, I get down and prepare for a shot. At the very least, I can give the passing train a good roll by inspection.
Turns out that a former student engineer that I trained is at the throttle of the Q. He is a great guy and is quick witted, hence a few snarky comments about my presence on the varnish comes over the radio.
However, we will not average high speed to Chicago. Sounds like we caught traffic and we will most likely follow the leader.
That 75.8 average was awesome though!
So, if you hate traveling alone then I can recommend Lord Ferdinhand, your trusty, snarky sidekick (he speaks Spanish too). Also particularly er...handy...for making gestures when you can't be bothered to move. Check out the video by the creator below to see his full repertoire. I added accent textures etc on my face from a selection at the Izzy's store which the RPers amongst you may like to play with, with additional lip textures by Hexed. The Stray Dog Noah skin works well on on other heads so grab a demo and see if it works for you - there is an included shape for the Rune head if you prefer.

A lone seagull stands on the sand like it’s contemplating the futility of small talk. The beach is scattered with shells and pebbles, but the bird doesn’t care. It’s not here for ambiance. It’s here because this is its turf, and you’re just passing through.
The posture says “I’m not mad, just disappointed.” The gaze says “I’ve seen better photographers.” And the vibe? Pure coastal indifference. This isn’t a majestic eagle soaring through the clouds. This is a seagull who’s been through three tourist seasons and no longer believes in sunscreen or humanity.
It’s the kind of image that makes you reflect on your own presence and then realize the bird already did, and moved on.

Meet the plover the beach’s smallest, sassiest accountant. This little bird struts across the wet sand like it’s inspecting the shoreline for tax fraud. Every step is deliberate, every glance judgmental. The tide may come and go, but this bird’s audit schedule is eternal.
The scene is deceptively calm: muted blues, soft reflections, and scattered seaweed. But beneath that serenity lies a creature with the energy of someone who’s late for a meeting they didn’t want to attend. The plover’s orange legs flash like hazard lights as it power‑walks through puddles, muttering (probably) about the inefficiency of crabs.
There’s a kind of understated comedy here the bird’s tiny frame against the vastness of the beach, its seriousness completely disproportionate to its size. It’s nature’s reminder that confidence doesn’t require scale; it just requires attitude.

This snarky looking Ram wanted nothing more than to the lick the road salt off my car, and the only thing standing in his way was me. The big horn sheep have developed this car licking habit, and if you leave your car unattended, they will practically clean it for you. It's not good for them as the road debris on cars can make them sick. After taking his photograph, I shewed him away. Jackson Hole, Wyoming, USA, November 2024

Every day across the continent of North America, chickens try to turn themselves into men and sometimes succeed so well they are even elected into positions of political power. I hope that this photo brings crucial awareness to this dire situation.
Clearly, at least the Canadians are not oblivious that this is happening.

I can't hear a single word
Just know you're talking, 'cause your lips keep moving
Everything I thought I learned
Goes out the window, all I want is one thing
You can promise castles, treasures, babies, I don't care
'Cause for now you're just enough for me, I want you near
Like a fairytale to feel your breath right on my neck
You remember what I love, so baby, take me back
Turn the lights down low and kiss me in the dark
'Cause when you're touching me, baby, I see sparks
You make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
Ticking-tocking like a bomb
Throws me back to when I had you closer
Skin to skin, we get it on
Without the love, I feel you going bolder
You can promise castles, treasures, babies, I don't care
'Cause for now you're just enough for me, I want you near
Like a fairytale to feel your breath right on my neck
You remember what I love, so baby, take me back
Turn the lights down low and kiss me in the dark
'Cause when you're touching me, baby, I see sparks
You make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
Take it all off, want every inch of you
Traveling back in time
Tangled uptight, just like we used to
Now do that thing I like
Turn the lights down low and kiss me in the dark
'Cause when you're touching me, baby, I see sparks
You make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
I quick shot before the start of the Concert.My wife and I were sitting in the front row.
Voices of Freedom Concert at the First Ontario Performing Arts Centre in St. Catherines,Ontario.
After a somewhat... crowded experience at Peyto Lake, Nathan and I gladly moved on to quieter parts. I really dislike people who make snarky comments while I'm taking pictures, inferring just loud enough for me to hear that they could take their fantastic picture if someone (i.e. me) wasn't in their way, without them having the courage to just nicely ask me to move for a sec. Y'know, I'm a fairly considerate person and would gladly allow you to take your pictures on my tiny little corner of the overlook. Just ask! Gee! Do I really look that mean?
Anyway, Waterfowl Lake was much more hospitable. There are things I don't like about this picture, and wish I had a chance to re-shoot. For example, I wish I'd allowed the mountains to fully reflect in the water (more water, less sky). I'm not sure what inspired that decision. Still, the colors! And I have to have a reason to go back, right? Well, guess I didn't need yet another one.
If you're already over all the Christmas chatter or not feeling the excitement, but still hoping to show SOME snarky seasons cheer, this understated look is for you.

Off-topic I know, but it's on my mind.
Yesterday I received a rather snarky Flickr message from another Flickr member. We have, for quite a while, been acquaintances on the site, and we always made a note to comment on each others posts regularly. I considered them as good a Flickr friend as any.
After commenting on their recent post, they messaged me with a blunt statement, and suggested that I should look at places other then Google for information. I do look at a variety of sources regularly; in this instance I had quickly learned some things from the internet (and only the internet). Apparently they took issue with that. I tried to reply in a friendly manner, only to discover that they had blocked me.
That kinda hurt!
Yeah well....live and learn, I suppose.
Thanks for the visit and attention. Feel free to Google all you want.
;)
CONGRATULATIONS! JIM & SNARKY! GOT MARRIED
Words of Wisdom
A good marriage must be created.
In marriage the "little" things are the big things.
It is never being too old to hold hands.
It is remembering to say, ”I love you" at least once a day.
It is never going to sleep angry.
It is standing together and facing the world.
It is speaking words of appreciation, and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways.
It is having the capacity to forgive and forget.
It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow.
It is a common search for the good and the beautiful.
It is not only marrying the right person -- it is being the right partner
Apparently the owner of this construction hoarding (or some interested third party) was incensed at having their "Post no bills" signs covered up with advertising posters, so they scraped off enough poster to reveal the signs, then posted their own bills drawing attention to them.

Yeah, it doesn't make sense to me, either. And that's the point of this photo. So much of what has happened to me this year hasn't made sense.
But I'm working on it. And I'm soo grateful for the friendship and family I've found here on Flickr. <3
I'll be home tomorrow, and back to making snarky comments on your photos, but in the meantime, I'd like to wish each of you a new year of sunny skies, clear eyes, beckoning horizons, storm-tossed seas, raucous laughter, cozy comforts, peace, joy, forgiveness, and above all, love. :D
