Random photos: Got anything interesting, unique, strange?

[reddvltj]

I've always wanted to get to Pitcairn Island, for some strange reason. The place fascinates me. Likelihood that I'll ever get there is next to nil, however. Hell, a single jar of honey (about 8.75 ounces) from there is $300 shipped to the U.S., so I can't imagine the cost of a trip there with any kind of accommodations for lodging. Maybe when I'm gone, I'll have my ashes sent there to be spread out.

Heck with the ashes.. If I don't hit the lotto (the only way to fill my bucket) before I die, I'm just gonna tell the Ferryman to save me a seat on the next ferry! I got some place to see!!

Pitcairn Island has always been in the back of my mind. As it was in the 1700s, its still remote enough to serve as a bolt hole of last resort.

Yep. Love the history ('cept for the fairly recent sexual assault scandal) of the place, and the absolute remoteness. I'm sure the life there is anything but easy, but I'll allow myself to romanticize it all.

Nice find to find both drop antlers. Good to have the match set.

Come up to Northern California and see our big redwoods. A lot of logging done here. Still some big trees and in some areas the old growth have been protected.

Let’s see if this works, blue heron eating a small catfish.

I guess I can’t attach a video. Maybe need to post and then link from some place else

I know what it looks like coming out the other side of stuff. Only a little bit bigger and velocity.

I wish I had a better picture but this genius has her phone mounted right in the middle of her face.

Why not? That's all anyone ever looks at anymore. They sure as Hell don't pay any attention to their driving!

From the yard sign, she probably picked up a baggy and is already crosseyed.

One had a fish over the weekend that I think was a Koi. Not a fish from the creek I could ID, reddish belly and really large scales, darkish brown back. Might have been a carp, was tough to tell but not a common fish I typically see them eat.

I am not sure if that is still a puppy, but you did a job well done taking good care of this dog.
