Macro Monday

This little fella decided to let me photograph him/her last wednesday in Grand Bay Alabama.


Why black and white? When it flew in my window I judt grabbed my camera and forgot I had the camera set to B&W and could’nt change it with one hand. I kinda like them in B&W.
Have a great week…Ed

Sunday Stills: The Letter “T”

Here we go once again with a rousing Sunday Stills, I have to post on Saturday night due to the fact I have no idea where I’ll be tomorrow and did’nt want to chance no having an internet connection where I stop. So without further delay here are my submissions for Sunday Stills, a Tank, a Tanker, a Tressel, and a Turret..:-)

Vultures or Buzzards?

These fellows were circling the T/A Truckstop in Grand Bay Alabama on Wednesday when I was broke down and waiting to get fixed. I’m on the move again and find myself in Ardmore Oklahoma this morning, then up to Oklahoma City later this morning and then over to Arkansas for tomorrow, Busy,Busy,Busy..

Happy Turkey Day!!

Did you know that Benjamin Franklin wanted the humble turkey to be the national bird and not the eagle???
Now once a year the president grants a pardon to one lucky bird and lets two border patrol guards rot in prison for doing their job, and I bet there are a few unlucky birds being stuffed in the whitehouse kitchens this day, not so lucky birds. And how did we come to have turkey as the standard meat at thanksgiving? I’m sure when the native americans came to that first feast they brought venison tartar and the rightious pilgrims ate it up and a few years later stole their land and moved them farther west for their troubles…ACK!!! Anyway, enjoy this day with your families, I’m enjoying a nice chicken fried steak and eggs this morning. Happy Thanksgiving to all my blogger buddies across the world…:-)

Macro Monday: Napping Flamingos

I hust could’nt resist some more flamingo pics, there is something about their beedy little eyes staring back at you while they attempt to nap. First closed, then the eye opens and they give you a dirty look…
The first is a youngster who is just starting to get his colours, and the second it the brighter pink adult.
Have a great week…Ed

Sunday Stills: Horses

Well, I had to go to the archives for this one. I could’nt seem to find horse one in my travels this week…




I’m off to check out the professional horse enthusiasists..:-))

Too busy to blog?

Sorry, the last couple of the days have been run,run,run…
And its not over yet, I guess this is a good thing, the economy is on the rise and there is lots of freight to get mover and for my line of work this is a good thing.
Anyway, I learned something yesterday, Starbucks SUCKS!!! I actually paid $4.79 for a large peppermint mocha, sorry a Venti, why can’t they just call them Small, Medium and Large. they use spanish for their medium and call it a grande and Italian for a large and call it a Venti. So when I ordered my overprices cup of joe I asked for a large and the pretentious twit behind the counter, sorry, barista (another stupid name) said they had a Venti not a large, I asked what the difference was and he said nothing so I asked for a large and that seemed to tick him off and of course I just smiled.
Well after waiting for 5 minutes for my supposed excellent mocha I got a watered down mocha with a couple of shots of peppermint flavoring and no whipped cream on top, that was extra. I know not all people who drink overpriced coffee are twits but the ones in line this day looked like twits, businessmen it suits, urban mommies with their sparkley cell phones and Puma tennis shoes pushing their 2 passenger urban assault vehicles.
O.K I’m getting off track here, my point is I realized as I walked away with my cup of dissapointment I noticed a Burger King next door and thought, they have coffee in there and its only $1.00 and not bad to boot. Lesson learned, at least Panera does not overprice their coffee and its all you can drink with free Wi-Fi, not to mention they have outstanding Chicken and wild rice soup and Bagels…:-))
p.s sorry for any typos, my editor Dibear is in Oakridge today at a show with my dad, good luck today Chuck..:-))
See ya’ll tomorrow….Ed
