Joel and I went to Cape Schanck on the weekend. It was a good trip that we both got different shots different from the one shown above. It was medium high tide at the location. Joel was almost engulfed by the rogue wave 2 metres above him. It was a shocker

Chironomids for Saturday Critters

 

Found this on wiki 

Chironomids as a group are very diverse in their life histories and exhibit a variety of behaviours during their development. Due to their species ambiguity and this diversity of behaviours, there is much controversy in research on their feeding habits, particularly as adults.

Many reference sources in the past century or so have repeated the assertion that the Chironomidae do not feed as adults, but an increasing body of evidence contradicts this view. Adults of many species do, in fact, feed. The natural foods reported include fresh fly droppings, nectar, pollen, honeydew, and various sugar-rich materials.

Skipping Girl Old Sign Richmond for Sign2

 

I grew up looking at this sign. Not standing out on its own. But there is a growing cult regarding the sign in photographer community.

This was what we did after sake drink with Joel last Thursday.

The other old sign is Nylex which is no longer lit at night. Otherwise I would love to do a long exposure on it.

I got my CT lumbar spine and pelvis back. No malignancy of any sorts. But I have extensive moderate arthritis affecting multiple levels including foraminal narrowing. I am depressed by the result. These are incidental findings not to my liking. I will work on my fitness routine once muscle tear heals.

The CT scan of the back will get me results in 2 working days. If the results are normal or mild osteoarthritis, it would be really the quads tear I am suffering from.
