Have a good weekend everyone. Here are two miscellaneous photos from a while back.

Good afternoon Bollox. Love the black and white, once again. Was it originally b&w?

There is a tree cutter up in this Eucalyptus. They were cutting the trees near our house. He is about 150 - 200 feet up.

Thanks everyone for all the great posts, thoughts and ideas all week... sorry I am usually too swamped keeping the canoe afloat to participate as much as I would like...

I like them all but love the warbler in the bird bath. Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely love the stump. Reminds me of a mind once possessed in the neighborhood. Kind of twisted and aged. Weathering brings out the beauty. Stark in the primary colors.

I really like the sepia shot of the tree stump.

Some shots from a trip to the zoo yesterday morning.

When I offer to wash your back in the shower, all you have to say is yes or no.
Not all this "who are you, and how did you get in here?" nonsense.

Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.

It has that Peter Jackson feel.

Oh, wait, wasn't I just looking at a b&w photo of path through trees?

This red-breasted nuthatch visited my suet feeder the other day:

This is only the third time I've ever seen one, and they have all been at our house. I heard him go "beep beep beep beep!" when I came home from work, went to the window to see if it would go to the feeders and grabbed my camera. I hope it sticks around.

Cheers all.
