What bemused you today?

Just had to clear a pigeon off the garden with its head ripped off – uuugggghhhh

What would rip a head off but leave the body intact (the head was nowhere to be found).

PS – sorry if you are eating.

My Cat

Just possibly a cat but usually a fox.

[Hinfrance]

Foxes usually carry off and bury their prey if it is not to be immediately consumed. My guess is a domestic cat. They are often cruel and casual killers.

Last year our cat left a headless baby rat at the bottom off the stairs for a certain person to step onto  early one morning as he was coming down for breakfast - never did find the head!

Use to have a cat at the club who killed mice and laid them in a line but without the heads.

Friend of mine, used to have a tiger sized cat, that came home with half eaten rabbits that were left in the living room.

  A vet once told me that when they bring stuff home alive and release it, its not a present. They are trying to teach you how to hunt. The cat is telling you that you are a lazy b@£t@rd and need to pull your weight around the garden!

Realizing how tough street photography is with a film camera and manual focus. I think it's going to have to be f16 with depth of field from here to Mars. That way I'll get something in focus!

Drove about 20 kms. out of town last night to get some shots of the 'supermoon' Found a park in the middle of nowhere and set up my tripod. Mounted my D200 with the 50-500 mm sigma and started taking shots. Tried various iso's, f-stops and manual and auto focus.
When I got home I realized I could still see the moon from my back deck and grabbed my Sony A350 stuck a Tokina 400 mm lense and shot some pics hand held.

I think the hand held shots with the Sony turned out better that the tripod mounted Nikon.

D200 isn't good at lowlight photography and tends to be very noisy.

My Cat   

Yesterday our Cat brought home a headless pigeon and left it in our bedroom. My Wife who was obviously upset said ' How could he do that and how did he manage to get himself and the pigeon through the cat flap ? '  I quickly replied, he must of took the head of to make it fit.     She was not impressed

My country of domicile committing administrative suicide by voting in an unreconstructed champagne socialist of the old school as president.

A career politician who has never run anything in his entire life and whose grasp of economics is slightly worse than that of our cat (who is a particularly stupid example from a particularly stupid species).

Sarkozy is a complete toad, but he had the good sense to spend more time and attention on his wife than on the country which meant that France had been spared the worst of the global recession; nothing mucks things up faster than an interfering political class.

Given the choice between the toad and the moron I would have chosen the toad. But as I am disenfranchised until I get joint citizenship I had no say in the matter. No taxation without representation is a phrase that seems kind of relevant here . .
