Here's a photo I saw recently,
that it might be fun to come up with captions for.

Why not have some fun.

My first entry is;

I may add some others later.

Here's the photo;



Have a super Sunday !

An absolutely magnificent morning, and I was awake at 5:15am and on my bike by 5:30am. A strong breeze from the north east had me pedalling a little harder than normal towards the dike. Once on the dike, the breeze at my back, it was easy riding in the coolness of the hour.

On my way to the dike.

The sun hadn't risen above the mountain yet, producing a yellow glow in a dip between two peaks. Usually I ride the country roads towards the river, but decided today to take a little bit longer route, which turned out to be fortuitous. A man walking the dike asked me if I was taking photos of the bear, and I asked if there was one. He said he hadn't seen any on the dike so far, this year. He said wait until the corn is up in the summer, and the the bears are in the corn fields.

On the dike.

He told me that red foxes, bobcats, coyotes and other wildlife lives in the copse of trees and bushes that was just off to our left, surrounded by farmer's hay fields. He pointed to something way out in the field and said he thought it was a red fox or coyote. I didn't have my zoom lens on the camera, but when it started to bound through the field, it's colouring and bushy tail had me thinking it was a red fox. How cool! I can hardly wait until I go again and maybe get a photos of it!

He pointed out a path where he said bobcats come out of frequently so it sounds like he walks the dike all the time, early, and has been graced with glimpses of wildlife. Lucky guy!

Other than the fox from a distance, I didn't see any wildlife this morning, it either being too early, or too late. Back on the country roads, a nursing calf in a small field stopped long enough to turn his head and look at me, his mother watching my every move. The calf's name is Joey, judging by his ear tag, an apt name for the cute little guy.


Down to the river, and it's steadily rising, more than half way up the former road to the ferry. Passing my favourite bench, I noted the river is even higher, and had no desire to be that close to the edge of the river.



Former ramp to the ferry, more than half covered in water.

Riding through the foliage, the rushing river could easily be heard through the bushes. Coming out near the farmer's blueberry fields, I stopped dead. Directly in front of me the two track dirt road was flooded. Not wanting to find out how deep it was, I was able to walk up a small berm and around to the other side. It wasn't exactly comfortable, as the river was racing by on one side, and the slough had flooded the road on the other. One never knows how stable the ground is underneath.

Looking back towards the path - no idea how deep it is, and didn't want to find out.

I won't be doing that 'tour' again until the river has abated, unfortunately. I really love that circuitous route, but safety is the priority. Cycling by the heritage home, her Iris are out, along with some other pretty yellow wildflowers. She came out the door just as I was taking photos of the iris and gave me permission to go on her property and photograph a gorgeous gold iris that was just glowing in the early light.

Iris


Love the iris 'tongue'!


Cheery flowers - no idea what they are.

Photography has made me 'see' so much more of life. What could be better?

He is called A_WU ( rising intonation ). A Chinese name came from his voice. He skills at pronounce of different tones of his own language, it's so fun to hear from that.

If I came back from outside late, he run to me around with long tones of sad miaow when the door opened...

When he found a insect, the other special low voice came out of his throat which meanings "I found you, I am ready to kill you."

When he have a big Miaow,that means he is angry with me cos I brush his hair which made him uncomfortable maybe... But most of the time he is a gentle little fellow.

These were taken by me a few days after the huge snow storm, that we had in New Jersey a month ago.
There's STILL some of that snow left on the ground.

At the time almost everything was covered with a blanket of about 18 inches of snow.
The rare exceptions were where the plows had pushed snow off the street and got low enough
to scrape the ground. Food for wildlife was scarce. But these 2 knew where to find some.

May I present to you my fine feathered friends, Mr. & Mrs. Cardinal;

hi all. since i have been rather bored for the last couple of days, i decided to play around a bit with my camera on my phone, however, since i'm blind, it might be a bit strange as far as the results goes, so i want some help.
I want to know what can be seen on the photos below, and try to describe as much as you can, that would help me to find out what i can correct next time i play around:)

Now that the rains have returned in earnest, it's time for me to do all those inside chores and other things I've been putting off. Two weeks of nothing but wonderful fall sunshine, had me gallivanting around the area, seeking and taking as many photos as possible.

My main goal today is to lay out a calendar I had no intention of making. As I'm on a local community fb page, and post photos of our picturesque area, I had no idea I had such a following. I knew I received a lot of comments and likes for my photos, but I take those with a grain of salt, as what someone likes on fb, doesn't always necessarily translate to a good photo in photo club.

After posting a photo of one spectacular sunset, one of my 'followers' said she hoped I was making a calendar as she wanted four. Numerous other people chimed in that they also wanted at least one calendar. After pricing it out, I decided that it could be lucrative. The next step is to design the calendar, choose the photos, and put up a web page for orders. Yikes! I really hadn't planned on this, and the pressure's on now as most people want them in November.

Although I have other household chores that need attending to, they'll get done in between breaks from the calendar. The chores will still be there, regardless. It's not like the chore fairy will show up and magically do them while I'm working on something else, unfortunately.

Yesterday, a little overcast, I went with two other photo club members out to the old shipyards. The following are a couple of photos from the excursion.

Another create your own photo caption for your enjoyment and/or participation.
There were a couple of good ones last time.

My first offering is; Overconfidence can be dangerous.

Add your own one(s), if you like.
