This is the first metalmark I have seen --- a "lifer." Disturbingly, I discovered after taking the photos that this tiny butterfly (1" or 25 mm wingspan) had been captured by a crab spider hidden in the tiny buckwheat blossom. [1 more photo to follow in a day or two]

Adobe Springs, Stanislaus County, California

This was one of the best costumes I saw. It was so simple and so entertaining. She was a real hit.

This album features pictures taken by timberwolves.com writer Jonah Ballow as he covered the Timberwolves Summer League team in Las Vegas and the Timberwolves 2010 Summer Caravan.

This is a low-res screen grab from the previous video. IDs welcomed!

This was the reason for today's sliding 2-wheel turn which is no easy feat in a Jeep Wrangler.

This is a fascinating little place on Sunset Boulevard; it has been in several movies and after one look at the place it is easy to imagine it is hiding a few secrets of its own.

I understand the owner runs most photographers off, guess we got lucky that day :)

This Band from London wasn't really a Punk/Wave band. But their sound was New Rock with punkish design. A band which I always wanted to see live. But whenever I was in London they didn't play. Great band. Great version of the old ANIMALS hit.

Abandoned house at Bombay Beach (Salton Sea).

This was the first time I heard this band, I liked them - lots of 70s and 80s rock.

This new Barnwood Blue Tailored Fieldledge looks beautiful on this stone and siding combo house!

This grows from either a dead body of a small creature, Mole or Mouse or from a Mole latrine.

This is a shot from my back door. Every fall the Red Maple in behind and the younger Norway Maple in front create an interesting color contrast. The Red Maple turns flaming red by the end of September and retains its leaves for 3-4 weeks. The younger Norway Maple, however, remains green until late in the season, late October. It doesn't put on much of a color display either with many of the leaves falling while they are still partially green.

This is my cousin Lauren. I know we don't look anything alike, but we're really related! ;) She's adorable.

This is a top 40 band I was in during the mid 70's. I played sax and flute. We were actually pretty good, we worked alot. Thats me on the top right.

This was a slum only a few decades ago.

This monstrous fence is being constructed to annoy and impede the travel of Torontonian's. This is what 2 billion bucks gets you, fences and cops.

5 days from now you won't be able to get near where this photo was taken as the fence will be secured all around and hundreds of cops to ensure you stay away.

This set of photographs was sent to me in 2006. At the time, I was starting my third year in authoring the fixBuffalo blog (2004 - 2014). fixBuffalo’s content mostly focused on neglected heritage buildings - religious and city-owned - on Buffalo’s east side. My editorial was non-academic and often irreverent. Readers sent me suggestions for new posts and I frequently received unsolicited collections of heritage photographs. The photos in this collection all have that familiar snapshot date stamp, indicting when the photos were developed and printed. In this case, they were stamped either March or April 1963.

The Western New York Heritage folks posted this definitive history - full of photos - of the Buffalo Library. The building in this photo set wasn’t the first to occupy the site and wouldn’t be the last. The building in these photos was completed in 1887 at a cost of $225, 000. Here's the WNY Heritage piece from 2005 - an authoritative review of this history of this civic building and the site. Not to be missed.

this man was walking around asking us how to improve the ride. he was so nice and sincere. i can't find where i wrote his name down... but it was something like eliminator...

This is the interior of famous Trader Jon's bar in downtown Pensacola. Closed in 2003, this landmark was a fun place for tourists and locals to get a drink and see the aviation memorabilia hanging all over

This little one is hanging out at the feeders trying to get the last of its much needed winter stores.

This patch is used by the United States Army's 560th Battlefield Surveillance Brigade. It was authorized in 2009.

This photo is taken by a Google Streetview camera, which shows a building on the corner of Hogg Lane in 2017. In 1953 when I went to work in Grays , this was the original police station at that time.

This horse fly is about to begin drilling into my arm.

I wish I had my good camera when I saw these babies. He got right up when I got out of the car and gave me a good stare.

The last installment of the 3 part series of grunge, monotone, or very little tone images from around Dayton.

I almost moved into this house... it was the first one my parents looked at when we first moved into town, nearly 18 years ago.

this is what happens when you drink too many redbull's

This is a day late and I already had these taken in advance haha. This is my beautiful friend Juliet. We took a bunch of photos but this by far is my favorite from our shoot. This week has been pretty boring because we had an ice storm out here in TX for a couple of days and it was way to bad to drive out in that weather. I hope you guys are having a good week. :)

This is "A curved shawl with diamond edging" from Victorian Lace Today by Jane Sowerby. We knitters (and probably other crafters) usually call our projects languishing around UFOs (for unfinished objects). So I finally have an FO! I finished knitting it a while ago, it's just taken me a while to weave in the ends and then block it. Especially with lace, you must wet the garment then stretch and pin it out to dry, or you will never see the pattern. My challenge is finding space large enough to pin a shawl out--plus it is backbreaking work (bending over that thing...)

Then it was a matter of how to photograph it...

this is actually a two flavoured soft serve, the chocolate is at at the bottom, it was so good !! I wish they have this in madrid.

See the huge salt-lakes down there near the coast. You can read more about this interesting phenomenon here: es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parque_Natural_de_las_Salinas_de_Sa...

I did take a trip to the drugstore to get more curlers! YIKES! I was afraid NOT to! :0~

Victoria Avenue. Trefresa House. This Cornish name was used as Trefresa Farm in Cornwall was where his father John Legoe was born. His father was a sea Captain and captained many passenger ships to Australia from the 1850s to the 1870. He captained the maiden voyage of the Yalata to Adelaide, his visit to SA, in 1865. His last voyage to SA was in 1877 when he bought his family with him to settle here. His son Glen became a director of G & R Wills Company and later W Moffin & Co and George Wilcox and Co. He was mainly an importer with these companies and an exporter of meat, wool, hides but also had a pastoral estate at Binnum in the South East. Glen bought his land in Victoria Avenue in 1902 with a house standing on it erected by a previous owner. In 1919 he engaged architects Woods, Bagot, Jory and Laybourne-Smith to prepare drawings for major alterations to the value of around £5000. This work transformed the look and style of the original house. The “new’ residence was built in the English style with a steep tiled roof, wide verandas, round columns, and attic windows. It has the appearance of a British colonial house from hill country in India. The unique appearance of the house includes dormer windows beside a central chimney which softens the massive bulk of the steep roof. Glen Legoe’s Trefresa House was subdivided into 11 properties in 1922 when Glen Avenue was created. Glen Avenue opened up land back to the railway line. The house of 14 main rooms and with over two acres of gardens was sold in 1938 and by 1941 it was owned by Clive Langdon Bonython a member of one of SA’s wealthiest and best known family through investments and ownership of the Advertiser. Clive was a mere accountant and business director. His directorships included Wiles manufacturing Company and Mumzone products etc. The property has superb cast iron gates. The steep roof looks as if designed to cope with tropical downpours or massive winter snows.

This child went to bed positively GIDDY.
