Retro Mod – Any modified bike, with any drive train on any chassis configuration that is 25 years or older. Great class for older Harley’s where the frame was cut to rake or stretch as well as a class for Café Racers from the Ton-Up era.
Modified Street Class – Must have Major OEM ie; Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Polaris, Triumph etc manufactured frame and engine cases. Harley is not allowed in this class.

Tapped for maple syrup making.
Harvesting sap for maple syrup is an annual event in Big Hill Park. They used to use pails, now they use these blue plastic bags. You can see tree after tree with these bags hanging from them.
I think it takes 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup. (I remembered it correctly - www.massmaple.org/how.html - is an interesting reference site.)
Our Daily Challenge - "Luscious":
OK...I know it's a stretch, but consider this. One of the definitions of "luscious" is "extremely pleasurable", and nothing gives me more pleasure than spending time with my girls! It feels almost decadent to have time to play together like this on a weekday morning.
I'm finding it SO much harder to get a good shot with 3 instead of 2. It's a miracle that all eyes are looking into the lens. (Of course, I had to combine 3 shots to achieve that). Don't look too closely. I'm sure there's a mistake somewhere. :/ And it's looking a little flat to me because I had to use flash. Boo for rainy days.

Imagine getting this in your Easter basket.
I searched flickr and found that someone actually cooked something with an ostrich egg:

This is Andre and his brothers Anthony and Adrian. They're triplets! I took pictures for them yesterday! :D
Sorry for the late upload,somethings wrong with my internet so I used my phone's hotspot feauture thing to get on..
These swam in front of us, more were off to the right, climbing up onto the riverbank when someone came along to feed them; however, someone else came along with a dog off the leash, which attacked the swans being fed, pandominium ensued until the dog, after repeated dashes into the water after the swans, finally left with its owner [swans: a group is generally and generically called a flock of swans – but, according to the Oxford English Dictionary – the correct appellation is a wedge of swans (when they are flying in a "V" formation)]
To all who visit and view, and – especially – express support and satisfaction: you are much appreciated!
Die Schwäne im Main bei Mainz-Kostheim sind eine Attraktion dieses Wiesbadener Stadtteils: dort (an der Maaraue und am Mainufer), wo der Main in den Rhein mündet, wächst an den Hängen der zweitältesten Weinbaugemeinde im Rheingau nicht nur ein hervorragender Wein, auch die Menschen lieben diesen Ort mit seiner Lebensart und -freude

Album Description –
Maaraue & Mechthildshausen, Germany – 03-05FEB2015:
Great crew, and an on-time Frankfurt arrival: that's very good!
Petra drove from her apartment in Schwalbach and picked me up at 1 p.m. Thursday (no arrival nap for me, so we could see something with the sun shining). We headed over the Rhine to Maaraue, the confluence of the Main and Rhine Rivers. We sat conversing by the Main shoreline on a bench until winter winds whipping near-freezing temperatures liked to froze us, then chatted along the riverwalk upstream to an observation tower near the middle bridge of the Mainz “Three Bridges Walk”, a 5-mile 2-hour circuit crossing the Main River once and Rhine River twice. (After the current grueling winter flight schedule ends & our crew arrives again early morning in Frankfurt, I plan to nap – and have daylight remaining to go on this Walk.)
Petra and I continued on our excursion into late afternoon, and she was looking forward to travelling the next day to Berlin to vacation with a friend. It was fun to invite Petra to go eat and to shop at the Domäne Mechthildshausen, an organic farm serving their own ingredients in their own restaurants, plus selling it in their shops.
(At the Domain I bought 2 loaves of bread: triple-rise sourdough, and spelt; on Sunday Joe and I brought these to share, for lunch and for the concert reception.)
Petra dropped me back off at the hotel on her way to stop by Fichteplatz to return the key to the Gerber family children from their parent’s now-vacated apartment.
I learned "a lot". When I got home, Friday night I went to bed and slept a healing 16 hours.
Saturday evening Joe and I went to a lovely Carolina Pro Musica early music concert, the next mid-morning and mid-afternoon to my brother John’s New Life Lutheran Church in New London, where I played flute with the organist. Joe and I ate Sunday lunch with my brother and his family, a super visit – time flying by fast – and we all went to the wonderful Cantamos choral concert, a great reception and fellowship following the standing ovation. Soli Deo Gloria!
Enjoy my 20% best photos from this layover, in a 2-album set:

For me, the January showcase was a rather unusual event for several reasons. First, contrary to my usual practice, I made no effort to photograph every performance during the two-hour event. Second, notwithstanding reason #1, I still managed to come home with 396 new exposures and a completely full memory card, the first time that has ever happened at a dance exhibition -- or, for that matter, any other kind of photoshoot I have done. (At the last showcase in August, I had about a half-dozen shots left when I was finished, but this time I ran completely out of space on the card about ten minutes before the showcase ended.) And third, up until now I have always reviewed all of the images on my computer before uploading any of them, and then I have uploaded my favorites first and the lesser images later. This time I have not undertaken any preliminary review of my latest crop of images, and while I do very much like this one, taken just as the showcase was getting underway, I don't know how it compares to the others. So I may surprise myself before I'm finished with this project.
I don't know this student, but her partners are James Weathers and Tim Bishop, who appear slightly out of focus as they approach her. Joshua Smith, who is just outside the frame to the right, also performed with them.
There was a fourth reason why this event was unusual for me: it turned out to be my most expensive dance exhibition ever, since I lost a $65.00 circular polarizer while setting up my camera. I was a little upset about that, but the polarizer will be replaced soon, and things could have been far worse. At least it wasn't a lens!
Three bridges are seen here crossing the Arkansas River. Starting with the nearest, they are: pedestrian bridge, Interstate Highway 44, and 71st Street. Tulsa, OK
Let's see. The speakers are Stirling LS3/5A V2s mounted on IKEA Lack stands. In the back on the far left is a McAlister PP 130 sweep tube amp and power supply (underneath it). On the top of the Solid Tech rack is a Rogue Atlas tube power amp. Underneath: A Singlepower MPX 3 SE Slam heaphone amp, an Arcam CD-192T CD player, McAlister tube preamp PL12. The two monoblocks in the front are Quicksilver mini-mites. All IC and speaker cables are Audionote Lexus and all power cables are from Blue Circle, including a filtered power bar you can't see. The headphone you can see is an AKG K-701 with Moon Audio Black Dragon Cable. I also own an HD - 595 (100 Ohm model) with Cardas cable. It sits in my bedroom along with an old Marantz CD67 MKII Signature CD player and a Mapletree HD1 headphone amp.

Just a few days before we officially celebrate the birth of the most important baby that's ever been born on this planet, we celebrated the birth of another one of my favorite baby boys here today.
Harrison turned three today!
Christy had over a few of the families for whom she babysits and a few other local families and Harrison had a Thomas the Tank Engine birthday party.
We also have a family party sometime in early January since this time of the year gets crazy enough without having another weekend taken up with this close-to-Christmas birthday celebration.
Do any of you have birthdays close to Christmas? What did you do? Just curious.
Anyway, Harrison was convinced that he wouldn't actually turn three until he had eaten his Thomas birthday cake. He never budged, either. When he woke up this morning, I asked him how old he was and two fingers popped up. "This many," he said.
Just before he was about to eat his Thomas cake (which was after 10:22am, his official birth minute -- for those of you keeping track) -- he was asked again -- still two, said he.
While he was eating his cake, the question came again. Finally, that third finger popped up. He is three!
"The Chiostro dei Benedettini (Benedictines' cloister) behind the Duomo of Monreale is a masterpiece of 12th century art with Arab-Norman arches borne by 228 twin columns (four on each corner). All columns have carved Romanesque capitals, of which very few are alike. They are the work of five master craftsmen, assisted by several apprentices. Many of the columns are also decorated with Arab style diaper work — decorative treatment of a surface with a repeat pattern of squares (chequers), rectangles, or lozenges; some other columns are adorned with carved reliefs.
The capitals depict biblical scenes and allegories, mythological scenes, quasi-heraldic elements, Arab warriors and Norman knights, as well as fauna and foliage motifs. Even the Classical subjects betray a certain inventiveness: the acanthus leaves of the Corinthian capitals, for example, appear ruffled by the wind."

Three German tube 6x6 cameras, from left to right. They were fashionable during the 1950s, since they were simpler to produce and slightly more rigid than most folders.
Left: Goldammer Goldeck, with Bayreuth 75/2.9 triplet lens, shutter release on the lens
Middle: Braun Gloria, with Bayreuth 75/2.9 triplet lens and uncoupled rangefinder
Right: Agfa Isola with Agnar 75/6.3 triplet lens
The Isola is super light and fun to carry everywhere. The Gloria is the most feature rich and solidly built, while the Goldeck shares the same excellent Steiner made triplet lens.
I did shutter CLA and lens focus calibration on both the Goldeck and Gloria, and they are doing well even wide open.
My gorgeous friend and room mate Dani, this "tattoo" took me some three hours to draw! Using these magic things called "paint markers" I'm more partial to the pics in black and white, but I the colors were so intense I've included a few of those to. She was so amazingly patient, but it really paid off.
This is my favorite <3
