This place is pork-free and the food was dull as f**k! #beyondbland

This was a here & there kind of day for Darek & I. We took our photos to the Riverside County Fair and National Date Festival for judging. We did some geocaching. We took our rings in for a check-up and we picked up Bill's Pizza for supper.

This setup has never lost a belt and will maintain 6000 RPM at will.

Mural in Sioux City, Iowa that says "This Is Sioux City".

This was hilarious. I was like 'everyone run over there and walk with arms around each other' they gave me funny looks but agreed because it was fun. I ended up with my friends doing this on the beach.

This was pretty much the end of the fishbowls in Edmonton. I think they shut them down a week after I shot these.

This is the last year for the gingerbread house at the Ritz Carlton Hotel.

This little egret caught my attention today morning.

This house has a super-awesome vintage kitchen with a double oven,.

This pepper was to be thrown out at the supermarket where I worked. I ate it instead.

This magnificent creature wasn't very keen to put on a display and flew up into a tree and stayed there. I can't say I blame him. Made to put on a show and then returned to cage which had nothing to make his life interesting until called upon to perform again for the amusement of the paying public.

This adaption of a Renault 4...called a Frog was possibly inspired by the Mini Moke and was seen parked on the seaside strip at Viareggio. During our short stay we saw a few more of these in other bright colour combinations.

This American Bullfrog is much larger than the frogs we get in Britain, weighing up to 0.5kg and typically measuring between 10 and 18cm. They are only native to eastern North America and Canada but have been introduced throughout large parts of North and South America, Europe and China. They are notoriously cannibalistic so can be a problem for native amphibians where they are introduced. I photographed this individual at Buttertubs Nature Reserve near Nanaimo on Vancouver Island.

This guy was waiting for some munches on my hummingbird feeder. He was moved right after these shots.

This year's theme was 'Rebel Rebel' honouring the historic events of 1916 and a tribute to David Bowie.

The parade was led by Max Krzyzanowski of LGBT Noise, which started at 1:15pm [about 15 minutes late] from the Garden of Remembrance to the 'Pride Village' at Merrion Square.

This woman had a prime position to watch the sunset over Santorini. She spent the whole time taking selfies....

This year’s annual meeting aims to accelerate the sharing of stories of excellence among UBCM’s members. Delegates will be provided with first-hand accounts of local success stories from large, mid-sized and small communities.

Is this the real life?

Is this just fantasy?

Caught in a landslide.

No escape from reality.

Open your eyes,

Look up to the skies and see.

This ex Belgian Army Islander is just one of the many exhibits in this museum. Well worth a visit.

This is my favorite purse ever. I can't find a replacement. The strap finally gave way. Very sad.

Look how much stuff it holds!!

This was really interesting and tasted good.

If food can be art - I nominate this dish

I like they way the tall buildings in the background compliment the height of glass bottles.

This photo shows a close-up of the chain mail armor used in battle. The Great Tower at Dover Castle has been renovated and set up to resemble the time period in which Henry II lived.

This is a black-bellied salamander. It is living in a cave.

This sculpture is in an area where they have stored some of the damaged and deteriorating pieces that were a part of the original architecture of Balboa Park. I applied the Orton Effect to this photo. This poor dear has no forearms.

This is incredibly tasty mango milk shake made by my mother served with local puris. This is called Aam Puri (Mango is 'Aam' in Urdu).

For the photograph of the mango used for this milk shake, see photograph of the weighed mangoes.

I made this necklace using a cabochon painting by John William Waterhouse called Crystal Ball (1902) The painting has a sort of orientalist mood to it, so I've combined it with this crushed antique crepe pink sari. I find these colours wildly romantic!

This was a grain bin I found while driving the back roads in Iowa. I added the lightning which I took a few years ago.

This woman, Marisa, was my guide and travel companion on the train from Havana Central to Cotorro.
