Bump On Head Due To Quack-Up?

Can't figure out if this duck wasn't wearing his crash helmet the last time he had a bad landing or if this is some sort of trendy new hair style.

Friends...

"A Friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of Nature."

 ~Ralph Waldo Emerson


Mr. Jack O'Lantern

So I had this idea about testing invisibility... Actually, I found a free (yes free) spell for invisibility on the web. I figured I'd try it but stopped at the last minute because it seemed to be working. (I know, right?)

"Things Seen, and Things Not Seen:
Let me walk here in between..."

~Free Internet Spell

If you are curious... This is one photo and one exposure. It was 30 seconds in duration. There is a flash in the pumpkin and an upside-down flash behind the pumpkin. The flashes fired instantly to expose the foreground and, while the shutter remained open for 30 seconds, I ran in and kneeled, as still as I could, from about the 3 second to the 8 second mark. Then I hopped out of the line of fire and waited for the exposure to complete.

Blue & Gold

God knows how to pick some good colors and textures to put together...

Fire Leaves

I just liked the fire-like colors of this autumn leaf shot.

Worldview

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."

~Leonardo DaVinci

Forever Young

Remember me as you pass by
As you are now so once was I
As I am now so you will be
Prepare for death and follow me

~Common Epitaph

 

Be Afraid!

"Shadows of a thousand years rise again unseen,
Voices whisper in the trees,
'Tonight is Halloween!'"

~Dexter Kozen

Fields Of Gold

"You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley.
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold."

~Sting

A Crow Speaks His Mind (in a bird-brained kind of way)

Nothing says "Halloween" quite like a talkative crow. Listen in as this crow tries to convince me to leave the area. Though in the beginning of the conversation he's all like, "Get OUT!" The conversation eventually turns to politics and the state of the economy. Basically he says the current situation is "for the birds". He even whines about it a bit at 00:43. Nothing sadder than a whining crow.

Lemon Slice

Kind of reminds me of a slice of lemon hanging there on the jewelweed.

Tattered

This butterfly shows signs of being worn out but is still out there looking good against a white sky.

Solitude

Wonder if they hear the wind rushing by...
