Seems to me that these three young drakes were looking for an adventure! Since there were many, many geese about, I hope they found one.
I don't know these 3 coeds but they were gracious enough to allow me this unscripted shot in Anacortes, Washington.

Monochromatic artwork is so much fun to reproduce with henna - the shading techniques are the same as pencil drawings or watercolor painting. I hennaed the outlines of the leaves first, then put down big blobs of henna around them, then scraped away everything that didn't look like a fish ;).

MAZAR-E SHARIF, 13 September 2018 - The terrible impact of the Afghan war on its civilians was the focus of this week’s 2018 Mazar Short Film Festival.
Supported by UNAMA, the festival showcased the work of film-makers from Balkh province. The films, of up to six minutes in length, looked at the many different ways the lives of ordinary civilians are effected by the conflict: on family life, on education and health care, with civilians getting caught up in crossfire, unexploded ordnances and improvised explosive devices shattering lives, and how children are recruited by parties to the conflict.
The winner of the Best Film award went to Shahwali Ibrahimi for his film Zindagi Dobara (New life), a harrowing story of teacher and his pupils caught up in a terror-attack.
“I wanted to tell a story of the war and how it is destroying our society, especially children,” said Ibrahimi, adding “My film is also about courage, hope and dreams of a future without war.”
The short films will be widely shown in months ahead as part of UNAMA Human Rights work with all sectors of society to get parties to the conflict to implement measures to reduce the effects of the conflict on civilians.
“The films depict the daily reality for many Afghans, a reality of pain and loss. More than 6,000 civilians have lost their lives or been injured in the conflict since January alone this year,” said UNAMA’s Human Rights Chief, Danielle Bell. “We hope that the films will help audiences hear Afghan voices calling for a ceasefire, an end to the bloodshed and the beginning of a peace process,” said Bell.
All production team’s submitting films to the festival were required to demonstrate the substantive involvement of women in the film-making. Women civilians are inordinately impacted by the conflict.
One of the actresses, Najiba Mirzage, said the festival provided a unique platform for filmmakers and the creative industry to contribute to the peace process through film. She hopes that the festival will grow bigger in years ahead and that films will be shown widely across and beyond Afghanistan.
The top three films were announced as the winners. The Jury also named best actor, best actress, best male director, best female director, best child actor, and best child actress. Judging was conducted by a panel of five nominated by UNAMA and composed of representatives from Afghan Film, the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission-Northern region, Arzu TV, UNAMA Human Rights and a technical expert.

St Peter, Lowick, Northamptonshire
I left Islip church, high above the nine-arched medieval bridge over the Nene which connects the village to the town of Thrapston. But I was cycling in the other direction. If the road between Huntingdon and Alconbury twenty miles earlier had been a switchback, that between Islip and Lowick, my next port of call, was more like a wall of death, hurtling steeply down into the valley and then merging with the busy Wellingborough to Corby road before swooping up hill just as steeply. Fortunately, it was only a mile or so to the lovely hilltop village of Lowick, crowning its hill and surrounded by woods and copses. It was the first of several hilltop villages today, and the churches take full advantage of their settings. This church in particular was a gorgeous prospect from a distance, with a tower like Fotheringhay's only taller and more slender.
Close to it is enormous, and unusually for east Northants it is fully Perpendicular, like Fotheringhay. I'm not a huge fan of the Simon Jenkins book, or of his judgements, but this is one of only two churches in the county to which he gives four stars, and there are none with five stars, so I was looking forward to it.
The church was open, although in fact it is usually kept locked with a keyholder notice. However, someone had already got the key and was inside, and so I stepped in to the breathtaking interior. Tall arcades run eastwards, transepts and chancel aisle opening on both sides. The star of it all for me is the range of 14th Century glass, sixteen large figures which were obviously once part of a Tree of Jesse. They cannot have come from this church originally, as they predate it by a century and a half, and may have come from its predecessor. But it seems more likely that they came from a west or east window in a much bigger church than the previous Lowick church is likely to have been, perhaps even a cathedral. There is more 14th Century glass in Lowick church than there is in the whole of East Anglia, a startling thought.
But that's not all, for Lowick is also home to three outstanding memorials. The early 15th Century alabaster memorial to Ralph Green and his wife is generally considered one of the very best in England, and so it should be, for it was his bequest that bankrolled the building of the new church. Half a century later, his grandson the Earl of Wiltshire was brought to rest under another fine alabaster memorial, reminiscent of the Bardolph tomb at Dennington in Suffolk. And there is a third, most dramatic memorial to Lady Mordaunt and her children from the 18th Century in the north chancel chapel. All in all a wonderful church, the best church I have visited in a long time, and knocking Fotheringhay off the top spot to become my new favourite Northamptonshire church.
At last I headed back out onto the Corby road, heading further north-west and thankfully downhill this time, before turning off to climb up into another hilltop village, Sudborough. A lovely stone-built village, the old pub looking very inviting, and across the road from it was its church, looking very small and rather pretty, a glass of light fruit juice perhaps, after the grand champagne and fireworks of its Lowick neighbour.
Something you don't see to much of these days, a three man crew with 2 men riding in the leader, and the third in the second unit.

Three little maids from school are we
Pert as a school-girl well can be
Filled to the brim with girlish glee
Three little maids from school
Everything is a source of fun
Nobody's safe, for we care for none
Life is a joke that's just begun
Three little maids from school
Three little maids who, all unwary
Come from a ladies' seminary
Freed from its genius tutelary
Three little maids from school
Three little maids from school
I just want to feel safe in my own skin
I just want to be happy again
I just want to feel deep in my own world
But I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore

“Are those trees naturally shaped like that?” visitors sometimes wonder aloud. In winter and early spring, Fioli’s entry drive, bowling green and high place are lined with the naked, knobby, sculptural forms of pollarded London plane trees (Platanus x hispanica). This type of pruning is a fairly common practice in formal European gardens and boulevards, but is less common in the United States. In addition to its formal, sculptural appeal, pollarding is useful to maintain trees at a desired size, but requires annual attention to keep from losing the tree’s form, and upkeep can be expensive for homeowners.
For the weekly challenge theme "Three." Three miniature red velvet whoopie pies, three miniature vanilla scones. They really are terrible. Leave them for me - I will take care of them for you.
Working a little out of my comfort zone on this - used f/6.3 instead of my usual 2.8 to 1.8. Trying to learn to control my DOF a little more.

Had an awesome day today. I saw 15 Snowy Owls in three hours NE of Calgary, all in the Beiseker area.
Our trip included a visit to a wastewater treatment facility in Williamsport, PA. The facility is the only one of its kind in the state and uses chemical treatment and distillation to produce water that is clean enough to be discharged directly into the municipal sewage system. On the far left is a typical sample of fracking wastewater. The plant takes that stuff and separates it into brown sludge (center beaker) headed to a landfill and clear water (right beaker) headed for the nearest drain

“Class is an aura of confidence that is being sure without being cocky. Class has nothing to do with money. Class never runs scared. It is self-discipline and self-knowledge. It’s the sure-footedness that comes with having proved you can meet life. ” ~ Ann Landers
