This is for sale on craigslist in my area. It's tempting to grab and paint it black, like the Satellite Bowl. How much of a pain in the bungus would it be to do that? Is it worth $25?
How to come to a great day to the Zoo, and leave without a finger!
This red panda came VERY close....and could easily have bitten - and it would have been the person's own fault.
RMZ has been without red pandas for a few weeks whilst improvements were made to their habitats.
As well, the zoo has gained two new red pandas, I think they hope it is a breeding pair - I will check that when I am next there.
Anyway, this is one of the two new pandas, and it is extremely cute and inquisitive! It came right up to people, and was not at all shy, which is great from a photography point of view!
Red Pandas are crepuscular (most active at dawn and dusk) and live in the slopes of the south of the Himalayas and the mountainous forests of the southwest of China, at altitudes of up to 4,800 metres, and generally do not venture below 1,800 metres. They are sedentary during the day resting in the branches of trees and in tree hollows and increase their activity only in the late afternoon and/or early evening hours. They are very heat sensitive with an optimal “well-being” temperature between 17 and 25°C, and cannot tolerate temperatures over 25 °C at all. As a result, Red Pandas sleep during the hot noontime in the shady crowns of treetops; often lying stretched out on forked branches or rolled up in tree caves with their tail covering their face
Red Pandas are very skilful and acrobatic animals that live predominantly in trees. They live in territories, frequently alone, and only rarely live in pairs or in groups of families. deal of human-induced habitat destruction.
The Red Panda eats mostly bamboo. Like the Giant Panda, it cannot digest cellulose, so it must consume a large volume of bamboo to survive. Its diet consists of about two-thirds bamboo, but they also eat berries, fruit, mushrooms, roots, acorns, lichen, grasses, and they are known to supplement their diet with young birds, fish, eggs, small rodents, and insects on occasion. In captivity they will readily eat meat. Red Pandas are excellent climbers and forage largely in trees. The Red Panda does little more than eat and sleep due to its low-calorie diet.

but I didn't enter the bar, only took this photo from the outside. (I was too full to drink)

It was the second time I used Natura1600 film, but I've found I don't like it...
有名な「ブレトス」。そそられはしたけれど、あまりにおなかいっぱいだったのと、中に人が多かったので、入らずに外から1枚だけ撮りました。
Ｎａｔｕｒａ１６００，どうも私は好きになれないです・・・他の人が撮ってるのはいい感じなのになぁ・・・。

The York House Hotel tries to tempt me with some unusual brews. Stella? Fosters? John Smiths? Never heard of them. Where do I sign up to try?

Contemplative photography
Edges
Driving to Mass one morning I was thinking of Edges—what pictures of edges can I take? Looking out the car windshield I noticed the white paint strip on the edge of the road. There could be a picture I thought, and with whom do I travel on the edges? There were more photos that tempted me until last Saturday afternoon.
I was driving to pick up my daughter from Portland, Maine at Reagan National Airport but instead of taking the beltway or any of the parkways I decided to take 16th Street to town, cross over to 14th Street and cross the bridge into Virginia. Because I have been looking for “edges’’, I continued to do so on my journey and became aware of the edges of the roofs of the tall buildings as I drove downtown. I was having such a fun time as I saw them and I began to realize how happy I was. That happiness deepened into joy as I was driving. I stopped at a red light and took the picture of the edges through the windshield. As I drove on I came to the Mall area and saw the sidewalks (the edges of the streets) and cross-overs filled with Saturday afternoon visitors to D.C. Oh, so many people! I heard myself saying “I am so happy to be alive and here!” And I even had tears.
I picked up Julie and we had a special afternoon visiting the Air Force Memorial, the Pentagon 9/11 Memorial and the Arlington Cemetery graves of her dad and my dad.
Later contemplating the photo and my joy while driving through the scene of tall buildings and edges I came to the realization that my fifty-one years in the Washington DC area had very particular meaning for me. I love this area. Why? I asked the Lord why this picture of edges in DC had captured me. Why edges in DC? So, like the Jews go back into their memories of the Exodus at Passover I went back into the memories of the 51 years here. And in the years I have found God.
My husband was in the army and it was time for orders to a new station. One of the places I did not want to go was the Washington DC area. But there, in 1965, we came, all seven of us, the five children, my husband and I. The children grew up, my husband retired, we divorced, one daughter died and I went to Georgetown University to get a nursing degree.
Then in the reminiscing I saw the big picture of how God was working and is always there in the various good and difficult times of our years. God is there in so many ways, in things like the good parishes we were led to during the years of Vatican II and after, in the people we met and know, the schools and colleges the children went to, the marriages made, in the jobs we all had, the opportunities we have had to experience this big wide world, in the medical care we have received, in the hard times of illness and loss we have felt the care, compassion, and love of God through those around us. God was in the making of home for the family and in the making of my home at Riderwood and St. Camillus. The reflection on these years has also included teaching me to see and remember the suffering Christ in our area and to be able to serve Him. It was through that gift I got to know different neighborhoods and peoples of DC.
Before my arrival in this area 51 years ago I was aware of the Lord but it was mostly head knowledge. God was in the shadows of my life. It was to here many years ago that I did not want to move.
But it has been here that I began to really hear the voice of God in my heart through all the situations of life lived here in the DC area. Our God, a God of surprises, and a God that longs to pour out his wondrous love on us. And so my heart is full of gratitude for these 51 years and I give praise to His holy name.

The garden at the entrance to our local bakery has an apple tree bearing lovely looking fruit but no one touches it, amazing.
Tempt is a fragrance in tune with the Sugababes vibe - a vigorous fruity floral bursting with Zesty Iced Tea and the astounding scent of Purple Orchid. The Rose and Musk add texture while Vanilla Pod bursts through with a catchy beat.
