There is always the question why
And there is always life,
Which doesn't need an answer.

Poor Cinders; it appears the ugly sisters are going to the ball, leaving you at home to scrub the dishes and sweep the floor. Will my handsome Prince ever appear, or is this just a fairy story?

Breathing in, I touch the sorrow I have caused.
Breathing out, I hold it with compassion.
Breathing in, I smile at the miracle of being.
Breathing out, I ask—why not joy?

I've been missing the pull of sunsets recently, and I thought I'd show one from earlier in the year as i'm waiting for my camera to dry out ( hopefully! ). The first title that jumped out at me was this Arctic Monkeys song, Why d'you only call me when you're high. I think the sun calls me most evenings, but when it's losing height.
"When a lazuli bunting babe sets out to make bunting babies, she doesn't mess with Mr. In-Between. Instead, she goes for the extremes--choosing either one of the snazziest-looking potential mates or one of the drabbest. That's because the best territories go to the blandest or the brightest male birds, according to a new study. The unusual situation--the two extremes being favored over the middle--is a rare case of sexually selected male-male cooperation, the researchers report in the 26 October issue of Nature.
In the bird world, it's often the guys who are the head-turners. Darwin argued, and many researchers believe, that sexual selection--competition for mates--is the driving force for the evolution of such foppish ornamentation as a male peacock's tail and the stunning turquoise, white, and chestnut coloration of an adult male lazuli bunting. But Bruce Lyon of the University of California, Santa Cruz, and Erick Greene of the University of Montana in Missoula wondered why, then, yearling male lazuli buntings were so variable in color, with some birds almost as dull as the all-brown females and others as splendid as the full-grown males. Using bird-bands, photographs, and DNA fingerprinting, the researchers closely tracked the goings-on in a population of buntings living in a shrubby prairie habitat outside Missoula, Montana.
They found that the gaudy males, whether adults or juveniles, managed to win the competition for scarce good territories. Juvenile males with intermediate coloration apparently weren't aggressive or strong enough to win; but the studly guys tolerated the dullest males, letting them settle next door and sometimes even hanging out with them. The genetic fingerprinting revealed that both parties benefit. The more dull-looking neighbors a hunky bunting has, the less chance he stands to be cuckolded, for reasons that aren't entirely clear yet. The dull guys, on the other hand, get to sire significantly more young than do the intermediate-colored males--even though their partners do sometimes cheat on them."

Esta é a foto de um animal muito especial. Este Gavião-caramujeiro, que na foto parece um animal perfeitamente normal, tem o outro lado da cabeça horrívelmente deformado, provavelmente devido a uma infecção, não me pareceu um defeito genético. No entanto, ele parece fazer uma vida normal. Encontrei-o, sempre na mesma área da Transpantaneira, pelo menos três vezes, e numa das vezes ele estava a comer o seu alimento favorito, um grande caracol.
Não ponho as fotos do seu lado "menos bonito" para não impressionar os mais sensíveis de vocês, porque não é mesmo bonito de se ver.
Em baixo, uma foto dele, tirada no dia seguinte, a comer um caracol.

This is a photo of a very special animal. This Snail Kite, looking like a perfectly normal animal in this shot, has the other side of his head incredibly deformed, probably due to an infection, it didn't seem like a genetic problem to me. However, he seems to make a normal life. I found it, always in the same area of the Transpantaneira, at least three times, and, in one of the times, he was eating his favorite food, a big snail.
I don't post the photo of his "not so pretty" side, to not impress some more sensitive people, because it's not really a pretty thing to look at.
Below, a photo taken the day after, while he was eating a snail.
I learned how the aoudad, Yellow, received her name. Years ago, there were several aoudads at the zoo. This last survivor of the group is the one who had a yellow tag on her ear.
Now, we all know.
This is for all flickr boys as I know that deep inside you want to be one of the superheros. I can assure you that if you love, respect and look after your ladies you are for them the biggest heroes ever... Just my random thought. I know that it may sound cheesy but don't give a f#%*k! Mind you - I've been under influence of certain music today and presume that this is the main reason why...
his is the old germany mall from 1913 where the movie The Grand Budapest Hotel
was filmed. I was lucky to take this pictures in january 2016. They will finish the renovation of the building soon and open up next year. Fingers crossed for the pretty nice old lady.
These three monkeys just love to play games. Today they are having a tea party. Suzie is playing the mom, isn't she proper with her tea and her legs crossed? (it's really hot chocolate) Bobby is the dad, he is trying to be so cool. Lucky little Jerry gets to be the birthday boy, and that's why he has the cupcake. Yum!
My studio is full of sock monkeys. I started out with one simple ornament, then he needed a friend, then the cake toppers emerged, and now mini monkeys are having a tea party on my studio table!
I personally think she looks super amazing in my sparkly top hat.
You should view the set, because it would make me very happy.

why another S2?
I thought long and hard on this one. I had my sights on a Leica M3/summarit combo, as it would have completed my rangefinder set.
It came down to money. Leica glass is not inexpensive. Of course you are paying for the name but they also take beautiful pictures. Too beautiful. Maybe even sterile.
The SC Nikkor, this lens has character. Soft wide open, you are only a stop away from crispy edges. I like it.
The S2 also has a 1:1 viewfinder which I like and am used to.
I was able to hold a snap a M3, and yes it was like holding the Grail, but on the other hand, it didn't knock my socks off.
The M3 would have given me great shots, but could it give me anything I can't get now?
What the M3 cannot give me is those wonderfully soft night images; then again maybe it can but I really don't have the cash to try all that glass.
The S2 is one quirky camera for sure but the glass is cheaper!
I'll be straight and say that I'm still wondering what the the fuss is over the M3, and next year I may think about it again.
Then again, I've also had my eyeball on a Nikon SP...
All in all, it's still a bit lame to spending all this hard earned cash on a film camera!
I like my S2 and I suppose it will be a while until I join the Leica club.

CrossCountry Voyagers Nos. 220028 & 221128 approach Oddingley crossing in Worcestershire with 1E63, the 15:27 Plymouth to Leeds service on Thursday 3rd April 2025.
This is a service that, up until September 2023, was worked almost exclusively by HSTs. In fact I photographed it many times, but in a different part of the country (see 1E63 Odyssey).
