Week Forty-Nine ~ Tick Tick Tick
Our lyrical prompt for Week 49 of The Photographer Within's P52 Year in Song was from New Shoes by Paulo Nutini and the lyrics we had to shoot were: "And I'm running late and I don't need an excuse." My husband has joked that he will be late to his own funeral. Curtis is always about ten minutes late for everything. He tries, he does, but late is what life with Curtis is like. I had to chuckle this morning when I looked over and saw his watch and keys (never put down in the same place twice, by the way) and noticed that it was almost 8 a.m. He had intended on walking out of the house at 8 this morning to head to Houston… and instead he was just getting in the shower.
This is a male American Dog Tick, Dermacentor variabilis. These are members of the "hard tick" family Ixodidae. Ticks transmit a bewildering array of very dangerous illnesses beyond Lyme disease.
In wonder what the red and blue sections are all about?

I really like this picture i feel like it captures the present moment as well as the past. This is a long exposure of a cheap old clock in my house. It was also taken with film still have to print it before i can tell if it came out .
Today I hung out with Dave, Nick and Nick's gf Megan. We went to Buffalo Wild Wings then ventured to the nearest Crumbs Bake Shop in New Canaan, CT.
Then I had to rush home to take a few pictures of my sister before her junior prom. I chose the clock as a random prop but now that I think about it, I was talking to Dave today about how my own junior prom was 2 years ago and that time really did fly by.

While loading my photos into the computer I noticed several visitors had joined me. Fortunately with lots of DEET on they just couldn't find a place to bite. This is a deer tick, Ixodes scapularis. It is about 4x2mm.

The cricket scorebox at the Appleby Frodingham sports complex in Scunthorpe. Bowling, football, hockey, squash and tennis are also accommodated at the site.
Captured during the first innings of a Viking Cup quarter-final between Appleby Frodingham, leaders of the Yorkshire Southern Premier League's Premier Division, and Sheriff Hutton Bridge, seventh in the Premier Division of the Yorkshire Premier League North. Sheriff Hutton Bridge are batting.
App Frod won by four wickets with 13 balls to spare.
The Scunthorpe men were indebted to opener Kieran Lindley and skipper Matthew Fowler for a match-winning partnership. From the seismic shock of 5-2 in the first over of App Frod's reply, Lindley (97 off 116) and Fowler (71 off 86) put on 176 for the third wicket. The hosts appeared to be cruising. But four wickets then tumbled for the addition of just 13 before App Frod managed to hit the decisive runs.
Sheriff Hutton Bridge, fielding a mix and match line-up featuring five first-teamers, got through seven bowlers. Young pacer Will Warren (2-20 from five) was the most impressive. His wickets came in consecutive deliveries. Fellow fast bowler Freddie Collins (2-26 from four) was the man to strike twice in the reply's opening over.
Having elected to bat, the visitors slumped to 75-5. Only opener Arthur Campion (35) played sensibly. Some dreadful shots from his team-mates. But Collins (54) and Avish Patel (31) added 87 for the sixth wicket. Collins brought up his half-century by smashing three sixes off consecutive balls. The first made a mess of a neighbouring bungalow's tiled roof. A valuable unbeaten 21 from Daniel Cass, in at No 8, enabled Sheriff Hutton Bridge to post a defendable total. At one stage, 120 looked a forlorn hope. Paul Hilton took 3-25 from his allocation of eight overs. Barbadian all-rounder Jamar Ifill, a quick, finished with 2-39 from eight.

A deer tick by any other name. Included is the end of a small paperclip for size comparison. It's the season for the arthropods.
This shows adults compared to an immature tick.

Following the recent culls deer have become something of an uncommon sight at the refuge. I'm not sure whether this doe has just given birth or whether she's still pregnant, but when she stepped out from the cattails, a blackbird landed on her rump to pick off some bugs. He did this for about 20 seconds before the doe darted back into the reeds.
I'm sure there's a proper name for this telephone, but hey...
One-piece compact DTMF-only telephone manufactured by GEC in the 1980s, based around the Philips TEA1066T Versatile Telephone Transmission and Dialler Interface IC.
This instrument features a volatile (no back-up battery) ‘scratch-pad’ ten number memory. The way to use that memory is here, in case you were wondering…
Each of the keypad numerals 1, 2, 3….0 acts as a memory allocation, so ten numbers may be stored.
To write a number to memory, it’s P > memory allocation number > T > number to store > P
To recall the number from memory, it’s T > memory allocation number.
For Last Number Redial, it's T > T.
The number will remain in memory until over-written or until the telephone is removed from the socket.
The ‘M’ button is ‘Mute’ and is the electronic equivalent of placing one’s hand over the mic (essential on this telephone as to do so could cut you off as you hit the gravity switch!).
Wonder if ‘P’ stands for ‘Program’ and ‘T’ stands for ‘Type’?

i'm always oogling my aunt and uncle's 1925 art deco clock. guess what? they gave it to me! sch-weet! how nice was that?
One night while sleeping in my bed I had a beautiful dream
That all the people of the world got together on the same wavelength,
and began helping one another
Now in this dream, universal love was the theme of the day
Peace and understanding and it happened this way
The sick, the hungry, had smiles on their faces,
the tired and the homeless had family all around
The streets and the cities were all beautiful places,
and the walls came tumblin' down
People of the world all had it together,
had it together for the boys and the girls
And the children of the world look forward to a future
Remember
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away
Remember that
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away
I had a vision of blue skies from sea to shining sea,
all the trees in the forest stood strong and tall again
Everything was clean and pretty and safe for you and me,
the worst of enemies became the best of friends
People of the world all had it together,
had it together for the boys and the girls
Children of the world look forward to a future
Remember
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away
Remember that
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away
Remember that, remember that
Remember that, remember that
People of the world all had it together,
had it together for the boys and the girls
Children of the world look forward to a future
Remember
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away
Remember that
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away

Tick season is generally associated, but not restricted, to warm weather. Ticks generally live in tall grass and wooded areas and attach themselves to a host somewhere where it is warm & relatively hairless. Tick borne diseases can be permanently disabling and, therefore, the sooner a tick is discovered & removed, the less risk to your dog: dogs.about.com/od/dogandpuppyhealth/a/ticksondogs.htm
