...and tea for two....but as it was Michael and Rosemary then in all likelihood it was coffee.
Taken at cave restaurant tagoror - outside was stunning bright sunshine and indoors was lit darkness, Michael and Rosemary had found a shaded seat outside.

In 1976 Two Guys celebrated 30 years in business. This is an ad from that time featuring some fashions from that era.
The Annual Tip-Ex event was held over 3 days in late May and early June 2013 for tipper truck and trailer manufacturers to demonstrate their products to the industry at the exhibition in Harrogate.....
In the two days leading up to the event... the trucks arrive from all over the UK. They are washed polished etc and then await a call to go round to be placed in the Exhibition Halls.
These shots illustrate those two days
I had originally planned to use these images as part of a college project called "Desolate" on my second year, but then changed my idea to use a male smoking which fit the criteria I was heading towards better.
I shot this in Two Tree Island, a barren bit land by a harbour just off Leigh-On-Sea. It was the perfect location to do a photoshoot with overcast weather and the rugged landscape. I had asked the model to wear a formal dress, but add a punk edge to it (the lace tights, Dr Marten's boots and thick make-up). I did a simple edit on this to enhance the models skin, the overcast sky and the whole tone of the image, just to make it stand out more.
Two toads in the hands of a 15 year old boy. The boys went toad hunting and crawdad hunting. They let the toads go free but had a feast of the crawdads.
This Remnant of the Historic Bankhead Highway is just East of Baird, Texas. Maybe when it was built ca. 1928 it was not refered to as an Interstate Highway but indeed it was as it connected Washington, DC with San Diego, CA. By contrast IH20, seen in the backgound, has a speed limit of 75 MPH while a Motorist on the Bankhead would have averaged 20 MPH. More info:
That's my title cuz I don't have a clue. The artist is V Tessaro, I don't know if this is a reproduction - when I searched "V Tessaro" - Vittorio Tessaro came up and nothing like this showed up in his collection - lots of nude bronze. This figurine is in the hallway of an apartment building I visited a few days ago. Who knows, could be a treasure waiting to be discovered!
Any further information would be appreciated.
Mallard
Anas platyrhynchos
Mallard
Status: Resident, winter migrant from Iceland, Fennoscandia, Russia, Poland, Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium & France. Additional captive-bred birds are released each year for hunting.
Conservation Concern: Green-listed in Ireland. The European population is regarded as Secure by BirdLife International.
Identification: Among the largest of our ducks (with the exception of Shelduck). Males with striking green head, yellow bill, white ring around the necj, grey underparts, blue speculum, black rump. Females brown in colour, but with blue speculum, dark stripe across the eye and whitish tail sides.
Similar Species: Males are unmistakable. Females and juveniles resemble other female and immature dabbling ducks.
Call: Male with nasal 'rheab', repeated when alert on water, and short whistle during courtship. Loud quacking of females.
Diet: Diet highly variable, and plant material, particularly seeds predominate. A range of animal material is also taken, including molluscs and crustaceans. Other food taken includes grain and stubble, and they have been shown to feed on a variety of food items presented by humans.
Breeding: Nest sites vary, mostly in ground where hidden in vegetation.
Wintering: Mallard are the most widespread species, although not quite as numerous as Wigeon or Teal. They occur in almost all available wetland habitats in Ireland.
Where to See: Common throughout Ireland. Loughs Neagh & Beg in County Antrim, Wexford Harbour & Slobs in County Wexford, Lough Foyle in County Derry, Strangford Lough in County Down and Lough Swilly in County Donegal are among the top wintering sites (1,000-5,500 birds).
Monitored by: Irish Wetland Bird Survey.
A very quiet light sort of day today. I spent a few hours tooling around in some country I'm unfamiliar with to see what there was to see, and I liked the juxtaposition of these industrial smokestacks and the pastoral farm landscape. A better sky would have made a better picture, but this was the sky I had today.
I got a couple of shots of this scene with my A77 and a zoomier lens, and I got the smokestack spewing smoke a lot better in that picture, but the other things in the photo were unacceptably soft and the saturation (literally) paled in comparison to this lens on this camera. Hooray for Minolta legacy lenses!

3200 ISO, low light and a lot of work.
