Another Labour Day weekend canoeing and camping trip to Algonquin Park found in the Canadian province of Ontario. The 2018 edition of our yearly trip into Canadian's wilderness involved exploring Tom Thompson Lake. To me the best time for photography in this wilderness jewel is right at sunrise.
If you decide to travel along this highway into the bowels of the Universe, carry enough fuel to cover the billions of light years ahead of you. You won't find a place to refuel. When you have travelled this distance without finding anything, not even a little bit of intelligent life and you reach the far reaches of the Universe... don't be scared... there's nothing there, either. Only the "nothing". Or since everything is cyclical, perhaps you have returned to the place where you started, full of wisdom from your long trip. It's probably better to look for intelligent life on Earth, but it's also very likely that you'll have a hard time finding it. Don't worry about not understanding the Universe or the reason for its existence... you're not Einstein, but one day you'll understand that... The Universe is wounded, but it still has infinity ahead of it. It still has you and me. Merry Christmas to all and to the infinite Universe that is within you.
Gregory Alan Isakov - The Universe
Y el Universo está susurrando tan suavemente que puedo oírlo todo... el zumbido de los insectos, todos los taxis, todo el cambio gastado de los vagabundos, todos los chicos jugando a la pelota en los callejones. Son sólo pliegues en su vestido. El Universo, está herido, pero aún tiene el infinito por delante. Todavía nos tiene a ti y a mí. Y todos dicen que es hermoso. Y todos dicen...

Music for your trip to the Universe:
Ground Control to Major Tom. Ground Control to Major Tom. Take your protein pills and put your helmet on. Ground Control to Major Tom (ten, nine, eight, seven, six)... Commencing countdown, engines on (five, four, three)... Check ignition and may God's love be with you (two, one, liftoff...)
Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts VI–IX
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond", was written as a tribute to Syd Barrett, one of the founders of Pink Floyd. He was also known as "The Crazy Diamond Syd". Barrett was a very creative musician and is considered one of the rock icons, with a strong influence on many artists, very especially to David Bowie. Syd Barrett is a key piece to understand the evolution of rock in the 70s.. Excessive drug use, especially LSD, caused him serious mental health problems. Syd Barrett died in 2006 at the age of 60. Always shine diamond.
The Universal is a science fiction song written as a tribute to two films by film director Stanley Kubrick. In the video, the Blur members wear outfits similar to Alex and his gang of thugs, the protagonists of the movie "A Clockwork Orange." The image used for the cover of the single alluded to what is possibly Kubrick's best film: "2001: To Space Odyssey."
We haven't changed that much in 300,000 years of evolution.

PS: Ground Control to Major Tom. Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong. Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you...

Tom C, stands for Tom Cat and White, of course, is the name of the company that produced this tractor. Below is the history of the White Motor Co.
In 1960, the White Motor Company entered the agricultural market with the purchase of the Oliver Farm Equipment Company. Oliver owned the Cletrac name which was started by Rollin White from the same family. In 1962, White acquired the Cockshutt Farm Equipment Company of Canada. White then increased its agricultural interests in 1963 with the acquisition of Minneapolis-Moline.
In 1969, Oliver, Minneapolis-Moline and Cockshutt were merged to form White Farm Equipment with headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois, USA; White Motor Corporation's headquarters remained in Cleveland, Ohio. Six years later, Oliver, Minneapolis-Moline and Cockshutt were folded into the White brand. The green of Oliver, red of Cockshutt and yellow of Minneapolis-Moline tractors was replaced by the silver tractors of White's "Field Boss" line. From 1974 the tractors were rebranded as White.
White produced tractors, combine harvesters, swathers, outdoor equipment such as lawn tractors and chainsaws, corn planters, tillage equipment such as ploughs, disks and field cultivators, manure spreaders and hay equipment, a full line.

Florida is home to two of the five wild turkey subspecies in the United States, with the Osceola turkey named after the famed Seminole chief (also known as the Florida wild Turkey species) found in peninsular Florida, being the smallest of the five. While similar in appearance to the eastern subspecies that inhabits the rest of the eastern seaboard and northern Florida, the Osceola turkeys are usually smaller and darker in color.
The flight feathers of the wings have less white barring, with the white bars being narrower and irregular and black bars dominating their wing feathers. Osceola turkeys also have more iridescent green and red hints in the feathers than the eastern subspecies found in northern Florida and the east coast of the U.S. Those darker colors and longer legs of the Osceola turkey make them better adapted to survive in Florida’s varied habitats. While the differences between the Osceola Turkey and Eastern Turkey are subtle, the Osceola is one more animal that makes Florida a special place.
I found this "Tom" (Adult Male), along with a juvenile turkey, and about 20 others, in the pasture just off of Joe Overstreet Road in Osceola County, Florida.

One Tom turkey that is part of my backyard gang! I have 20 hens and 5 toms that are hooked on my "corn kitchen".
People who hate cats will come back as mice in their next lives. 🐀 🐁
Have a great Caturday, my friends !!
The funeral service yesterday was very beautiful. Exactly what Tom would have loved. The singing was exquisite, the church beautiful and everything was conducted with great dignity. If you wish to listen/see any of it you can find it here.

Delphiniums in the flower display. I love delphiniums. They always remind me of the days when I used to go to Chelsea flower show and see wonderful displays of them. I stopped growing them myself in the end as they were so popular with the slugs and snails.
Thank you to all of you for your support these last few weeks. I have had so much kindness which has carried me through and helped to give me hope for the time ahead. Many friends of Tom's and of his family were at the funeral whose names I knew well but who I had never met. It was all very encouraging.

A modern-day warrior
Mean, mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean, mean pride
Though his mind is not for rent
Don't put him down as arrogant
His reserve, a quiet defense
Riding out the day's events
The river
What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the mist
Catch the myth
Catch the mystery
Catch the drift
The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his skies are wide
Today's Tom Sawyer, he gets high on you
And the space he invades, he gets by on you
No, his mind is not for rent
To any god or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes aren't permanent
But change is
And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the witness
Catch the wit
Catch the spirit
Catch the spit
The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his eyes are wide
Exit the warrior
Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the energy you trade
He gets right on to
The friction of the day

Tom has been on the lam for some time. He is somewhat of a celebrity in southside OKC as he made the local news more than once. He roams freely and even stops traffic at times. He gave me the courtesy of letting me photograph him behind the local Burger King where he dines quite well.

Helping form Lake Austin on the Colorado river in Austin, Tx. The dam is downstream from Mansfield Dam.
Mr. Tom and his buddy along with two hens came strolling and scratching through my yard yesterday evening at dusk. I thought the group dynamics were pretty interesting! It's good to see my own personal lawn aerators back again as they have been missing all winter long.
I have the Grandbaby with me and she and I are heading to Roanoke to church this morning. It will be an adventure and the first time going without Anita who has other things to attend to this morning. It's going to be an Adventure for sure! Happy Sabbath everyone!

They fight to prove who’s the most dominant — the “boss tom.” The winner gets to court and mate with hens in the area.

Claustro de D. João III o Claustro Grande. Proyectado por João de Castilho, entre 1533 y 1545, fue modificado, ampliado y vuelto a diseñar por Diogo de Torralva, a partir de 1554, en un estilo manierista, deudor en gran manera de los postulados del arquitecto italiano Sebastiano Serlio.
Wildlife photographer Tom Murphy is well known for documenting the beauty and wildlife of Yellowstone National Park. He spent many years capturing the beauty of the Yellowstone wilderness. In my trip to Yellowstone NP last February, my friends and I had the pleasure of meeting him. The next day, with Murphy's guidance, we were able to find this stunning lone tree. Local people call it the Tom's tree.
I took this on my second walk of the morning up in the Lakes. I walked from Torver up to Banishead Quarry first thing and then made my way to Yew Tree Tan and walked up Tom Ghyll to Tarn How's. There are a number of waterfalls on this stretch of the Ghyll and I wanted to play with my new gear, so I took a number of different compositions experimenting with shutter speeds and ISO. The texture in the water was nice at these settings and made a nice contrast with the ferns on the side of the rocks.
It did take a few shots to try and get the ferns as still as possible as there was a breeze coming up the valley. I will post another soon of the big falls a little higher up with a longer shutter speed providing a completely different feel! Again I was happy with the Z7ii with the 14-30 lens and the NISI V7 filter kit was certainly much more easy to handle after the huge filters I had to use on my D850 DSLR with the 14-24 lens.
