GOT MILK

This is obviously the business end of this beautiful rare eel.
Watch your fingers. Have a nice week end ,& be kind to animals,please.
There`s more behind the rock work, & a little extra stuff over on the Planet

FLASHBACK

Here`s a little 60`s music for you. It`s got the beat of the street & the colors are neat.
Sweet
There`s only one more today. It`s on Planet Earth.
Have a great day.

SUEDE ROSE

A few more shots from Darbe`s garden that I didn`t get to post. First, for Evangeline, I found one of the large Birds of Paradise. It was about 15 feet up in the air, & this will at least prove what I previously said, but I will go back & use a ladder to get some up close details. The image is in the 'header' show. Image #705 is of the same flower as the header is created from, although not inverted. Planet Earth has the remainingimages from the garden shoot.
Have a great day & keep smelling the flowers.
The one in the main post might smell like ladies footwear but only because it is of suede.
I love the smell of ladies feet in the morning. mmmhhnmm!!

SWAYING COBRAS

Thank you for being patient. It is very difficult to take these images, as the camera I have available is seriously flawed. I have to compensate focal length by physically moving the camera in or out from the subject according to a prescribed formula I devised through trial & error. This is due to not having a properly working focus sensor in the camera.
These images were all taken in my friend Darbe`s garden. She`s only a few streets over from my house.

LOOSE LEAF BINDER

This leaf is about five to six feet in length.
All images from the three usual locations here, were taken at Kendra`s home.
I was over the other day to see her brother, & decided to take a few shots in their gardens.
Enjoy.
Have a nice week end & I hope you all have warm weather.

KENDRA`S KANDY

Today more of Kendra`s images grace my place.
I must thank you all for your graciousness towards a guest here.
Have a nice day.

KENDRA`S KOLORS

As a return guest-blogger, my young friend Kendra, dazzles again with her choice of subject, & superb composition.
The main post image is a composite of some of the images behind the firewall.
Kendra will be here again tomorrow, as I thought that there was just too much to aggravate your senses all in one showing.
I promise your return tomorrow will not be in vain, unless you are afraid of the clowns of the deep. With that little teaser, I wish you all a great day tomorrow, & that Kendra`s images will lighten your load.
Good night.

MOTHER`S DAY

For all the ladies out there, Happy Mother`s day.
Though you may not yet be a mother, or are one now, this is also for those who have a nurturing soul.
Earth mothers.
I celebrate you all, in remembrance of my very own dear mom, who taught me very well the respect for you, you all deserve.
Thank you.

BEYOND THE GOLD RUSH

This is another set of images all taken in the yards around my house. I have three different front yard areas & about five different areas on four different levels in the back. It`s constantly changing or I`ve just never noticed some things but it`s always a trip.
If any of you remember Kendra, who was the first of only two guest bloggers here, she will be back with some fantastic images next week.
On Planet Earth is a fruit bowl I was sharing with Coconut. He`s not a picky eater, but is very sensitive about having perfect teeth, as you`ll see.
In the header, a couple of Kush cones from the local 'farmacy', but do go in & explore the strange images beyond.
Have a great day, & Evangeline, I went to town, by a different route, but will shoot the large purple birds soon.

FLIGHT OF FANCY

I caught this formation of flying fairies gliding by yesterday.
OT, Today, while out & about, I saw the largest pod of pelicans I`ve ever seen.
They were flying in two following asymmetrical V`s & must have numbered between two & three hundred.
If you`ve never seen pelicans in flight, especially in large pods, it is definitely a sight to see.
They follow each other very closely & use the front one`s vortices & leave one for the bird in the rear.
They are also one of the lowest flying birds, as the fly below water level.
They`ll get in the front of a swelling wave & ride the current of air displaced with the advancing wave.
If they`re gaining on that current, they`ll dip a wing-tip in the wave face to slow themselves a little for the best current advantage. I can watch them for hours.


Evangeline, we spotted a large, purple based, white flowered bird of paradise on my outing today, down in Malibu.
I`m going into town Weds. & I`ll be sure to shoot it.

NEW PLUMAGE

Here`s a new set of feathers on the bird. Some of the flowers seem to have only one set & others two, then three.
I`ll keep an eye on this one. This is the exact same flower from the series of this past week, although I have dozens of them.

CUP OF GOLD

This is a newly discovered bloom in the front yard.
As you can see by the ferns next to it, it is a large flower.
This one should be part of the advance team, because now that I know they`re ready to bloom, I should have dozens to photograph, soon.
I have a tree that is about 10 feet tall, which should be covered in these gold blossoms.
I just took this in the black of night, &, like Puget4, lit it up preliminarily, with a small LED flashlight, to even focus.
Have a great life.

BIRD OF PARADISE

Here`s an unfurling of the wings of paradise.
Have a nice day.
