I like your night sky, it's sublime. Enjoy your time with Bollox Minor. Seeing his name always reminds me of a constellation.

Those little black dots on the flower flesh are the fruit the Kereru (Wood Pigeon) find delectable.
That's my socked foot on the deck reflected in the glass door that also reflects a zig-zag pattern of the mat on the other side, indoors. The sock is simply black and white stripes, enhanced by the zig-zag of the mat. Clear?

we went to club, no glue, rice, no flavor. Burn a zag and a club in an ashtray, the zag ash remaining is 20 times larger than the clubs, from impurity residue.

Then there were the flavored papers .. banana and coconut -
yuck. Now I stick with a pipe

duck, in a swamp no less. In the Andes there is a duck named the Torrent Duck. It surfs in the rapids and riffles of fast flowing rivers and streams, and rests and nests in eddies and other still waters.
be well and have a good one

I guess ducks just wanna have fun too! The Torrent duck would be amazing to watch surf the rapids. I call this duck the 'lounging on vacation duck'. I am having trouble understanding the purpose of this man-made raft. All I can assume is that the council put it there for a reason. Any ideas?
Enjoy the weekend.

I know you enjoy those random, or not so random patterns. Me too. There's something satisfying in the visual pleasure of patterns in light and reflection.
Regarding the float, it sounds from this 5 year old news item that It might be a trap for turtles. It’s nicer to think about it as a haven, at least for the ducks.
pet and pest. I think that they're the ones in those county fair/amusement park contests where one tosses a coin at a bowl with one in it. Presumably they are native somewhere, but not in California, and we have the same problem with people dumping them into watercourses and wetlands.

"It was a dark and stormy night........."
Thanks for hosting Janis. Bollox Minor is back from university, so I'm on borrowed time with regard to food.
Nice socks, also (if they're socks).
Gëzuar!!
from a reasonably stable genius.
Hi Bollox
I like your night sky, it's sublime. Enjoy your time with Bollox Minor. Seeing his name always reminds me of a constellation.
Hey J
I think it is BR's title that is sublime.
The pic is great, but that title... is pure awesome.

Thanks for Friday Photos tonight, Janis.
Love the optical illusion shot.
What type of duck is that surfing in the swamp?
Great Blue Heron, Great Egret(yellow bill and black feet), and Snowy Egret(black bill and yellow feet).
I woke up this morning determined to drink less, eat right, and exercise.
But that was four hours ago when I was younger and full of hope.
Hi Social
Your Egret with fish and water drops is simply beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you, Janis.

Great bird shots!
oops duplicate
Great bird shots!
Was in the yard today, finally found my boat in the paint shed (that's her bow with the fenders hanging).
Cheers!
Couple other shots
on deck
floor shot
nice floating objects QMS
great boat pix QMS! How big is the one with the deck shot?

She is a 54 footer
about 46' at the water line.
Lot's of lead, about 30 tons.
A solid cruiser.
Hi QMS
I never knew before that boats also have fenders. Of course it makes sense that as a vehicle it also has fenders/bumpers for protection.
It looks like a beautiful boat. Did you know that the America's Cup is happening now in Auckland?
No, didn't know
The kiwis are good sailors.
Many escape's here.
Newport is trying to get the
cup back...
Anyway, this is the one I took to Portugal, back for a re-fit.
Cheers!
They're practicing
Many former Kiwis are now preforming for other teams like the American one.

How many guns does she carry
on the main deck?
Gëzuar!!

Just one blunderbuss
lost the loose cannon
over the side in a gale
sailors and their knots...

It's a great name for the product.
You must have done a lot of zigging and zagging in your life on land and sea ; ).

All good stories

Thanks Janis B!

patterns in nature...
Have a good one!

Beautiful patterns Lookout
The nautilus must be one of the most beautiful and intriguing ones. Thanks.
Hi Janis, late to the show, as usual. Got me with the surfing
duck, in a swamp no less. In the Andes there is a duck named the Torrent Duck. It surfs in the rapids and riffles of fast flowing rivers and streams, and rests and nests in eddies and other still waters.

Could be a haul out for turtles,a place for them to bask in the
sun, also some amphibians are fond of haul outs too. Just guessing.
Loved the sock picture, btw.

Interesting article. Red eared sliders are a pretty common
pet and pest. I think that they're the ones in those county fair/amusement park contests where one tosses a coin at a bowl with one in it. Presumably they are native somewhere, but not in California, and we have the same problem with people dumping them into watercourses and wetlands.
