First off, let me say that I found WV quite impressive, even majestic in regard to the scenary....But! I will also say that no time was wasted geting back into the truck after shooting this image and that sign put things into mine mind like:

"Ya gotta might pretty mouth there, boy..."

Accompanied by the strains of "Dueling Banjos"

:lol:

That boy will have serious psychological repercussions from this..."And then...my mom posted photos of me naked in a pirate hat on the internet!" :lol:

I just came across this one. It's one of my favorites:

A group of burrowing owls has taken up residence in the field near where I work. This field is full of ground squirrels and typically burrowing owls take over old ground squirrel and gopher nests.

These owls are only about eight or nine inches tall, don't have the tufted "ears" that you see on most birds and make their nests underground rather than up in a tree. Also, unlike other owls, they aren't nocturnal. The movie "Hoot" featured burrowing owls.

At any rate, they are awfully cute - I could watch them for hours, but they get a bit miffed at me invading their space. When they are miffed, they bob up and down with some serious deep knee bends. Short video of a miffed owl

I did manage to take some photos of them.

It's not often enough ye see herself in garb wit' her hair down.

Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!

This is one of those photos I have always liked. It's a photo of Helen Wills Moody, a very successful tennis player who won 31 Grand Slam titles and 2 Olympic gold medals in the 1920s and 30s.

Wills was an introvert who was quite detached - she rarely showed emotion, ignored her opponents, and took little interest in or notice of the crowd. You can sense this in the photo, but there is much more there. Something deeper. I've always thought this photo had that odd "Mona Lisa" bemused look about it.
