Here’s one of Ted’s cows -

Came across an exhibition of an artist's, Rui Sasaki's, work in glass yesterday. She takes plants, places them between two panes of glass, and then fires and fuses the glass in a kiln. Quite attractive:

The other day somebody mentioned the difficulties of getting high qual shots of flying birds.
Was looking through mine, I kind of like this one.
Not exactly framed the best but definitely shows movement.

Chateau Laroche - Wikipedia

Also from Wikipeia:

"...Andrews named his castle after a military hospital in the Château de la Roche in southwest France, where he was stationed during the First World War..."
​

And that chateau was also a mediaeval fantasy:

"...The Château de la Roche is a 19th-century château built by Count Grigory Kushelev-Bezborodko... for this wife..."​

Curioser and curioser!

Today these steps lead to nowhere, but in the old copper mining town of Bisbee Arizona at the turn of the 20th century, they led to the comfort cribs of ladies of the evening. These are located at the north end of Brewery Gulch on the west side of that meandering road. Bisbee is full of remnants of years gone by, and I love to take photographs there.

Thanks for the explanation; I WAS wondering... (Maybe a screenshot from a lost episode of Outer Limits...?)

The other day somebody mentioned the difficulties of getting high qual shots of flying birds.
Was looking through mine, I kind of like this one.
Not exactly framed the best but definitely shows movement.

one day I set my shotgun down and uncased my 35mm camera
when the ducks were flying well, on one outing.
I have one session , where one of my pictures shows over a hundred ducks, locked up, and starting to land into my decoy set up.
Not for the internet, though, sorry.

When the Migratory Birds are in town, the Snow Geese probably out number all the rest added together.
So what do it look like when the Snows are on the move?

I immediately thought of Rustyt's GIF of a raccoon with a prop cane dancing across the frame
