It was about time. It seems like every time I shoot lightning it slips in the space in between exposures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Synergy Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 This democratic unicorn was brought with a couple dozen other goats to a nature refuge park I frequent near my home to eat mountains of cut blackberry bushes, (which have nasty thorns.) I think you're right, it would take a Democratic unicorn to come up with this green approach to dispose park maintenance waste. -S- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I realized that I had a large backlog of pictures to share that I hadn't gotten around to uploading. Unfortunately, I managed to do something stupid with FUSE which crashed my Finder and renders my /Volumes/ a deadly trap for stat(), so getting them uploaded was a bit more troublesome than usual. I got it done, but when I discovered that I had exported them full size, I just couldn't bring myself to do it over again to shrink them down. So here they are in gigantic form: Ducklings We had an exceedingly vivid rainbow just between a rainstorm and sunset about a week ago: 1 2 3 4 Here's one of those accidental pictures, the kind that are usually of the inside of a pocket, except that this one ended up being rather pretty, I think: Surreal The setup I ended up with during out last Hobopolis Hamster run: Lots of Computers My cat, Shadow, again: 1 2 My brother's cat, resting on top of a luxury skytrain An assault perambulator A base with two sides, and two commanding officers (Captain Minotaur, and The Witch King).

Chittering Clawbug Ezrah, Kitty of Wonder.

The sandwich is the same ingredients in an omelet with the cheese, plus two strips of bacon, and a slice of American Cheese, with the bread seared in the pan as well, and the french toast is well... home made french toast with a cinnamon cooked into it, and sugar added afterward. + Pacifico... be careful though x3 Excalibur - Nice place :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Female, the males have a more grey color scheme as opposed to brown, and they tend to have patches of a single color instead of the speckles. But the most easily distinguishable trait is that the males also have bright green heads. They're very distinctive, like this: Click to reveal..

I don't know enough about mallards to tell the difference between adult females, adult males in non-breeding plumage, and juveniles. At this point in the year, I think it could any of the three.
