Going Strapless Just Won’t Cut It
With mirrorless cameras all the rage, I changed to one of my older mirrorless cameras to use for a “carry” camera after the strap eyelet broke on my X-Pro1 “carry” camera: http://photos.tandlphotos.com/blog/2015/7/mirrorless-carry-camera.
Tales From My Youth — Do Not Throw!

Before you click “Like”, I would suggest going to http://photos.tandlphotos.com/blog/2015/7/tales-from-my-youth-do-not-throw and reading the post, as you might find it rather disturbing and not “like” it at all. It is the first of what will be a series of posts on tales from my youth. “Tales From My Youth — Do Not Throw!”, while not necessarily the most disturbing tale from my youth, was one of the easier tales to create photographs to illustrate it.
René Our Eclectus Parrot
Tristan is trying to raise money to help pay for René’s treatments at http://www.gofundme.com/x9suzg. 
Tristan with René our Eclectus Parrot.
Eclectus Parrots are very susceptible to hepatitis and poor René has had a bout with hepatitis. If you can contribute, René and Tristan would appreciate it very much.
René has made lots of appearances on POTDE over the past few years. You can see old posts on René, the Eclectus Parrot formerly known as Joey, at in POTDE archives:

The Week: June 8th — 14th
Click here —> T and L Photos Blog to see the photos and commentary for the week of June 8th — 14th 2015 at a glance.
I have been reposting old blogs from the same date in 2011 every night for the past week with a link to the current photos and commentary posted that day on my T and L Photos Blog (which is really the current Photo of the Day, Etc.); however, since I’m paid up on my WP account until the end of November, I was maintaining the WP site until the end of November 2015. So far I think the reposts from 2011 are just confusing people who think I’m back posting new photos and commentary on WordPress. Now I’m trying to decide whether I should go ahead and transfer my photoofthedayetc domain to T and L Photos, shut down the WP blog, put it out of it’s misery, and end the confusion, or wait until November. Any thoughts (staying with WordPress is not an option)?

Smoke and Ice (repost from 2011)
Today’s post of new cats is at http://photos.tandlphotos.com/blog/2015/6/new-cats-in-town. On this date back in 2011 it was dry with smoke from fires darkening the skies and blotting out the sun. Today we got 1/3 of an inch of rain.
Originally posted June 14, 2011: The smoke was blowing in on my way home tonight and the sky looked interesting at the light at Alameda and 2nd Street, so I pulled off at the little ice house and got a photo of the cloudy, smoky sky with ice ads in the foreground. Laurie found a porcupine quill in Puck’s fur tonight. I’ll photograph it tomorrow, but this porcupine might end up being a problem. I thought the cats had enough sense not to mess with them, but maybe not. Their instinct to go after rodents, even though the rodents are three times larger and very prickly, might just be too much for their kitty sense. At least Puck’s kitty sense, apparently. He tries to be a tough cat, but messing with porcupines is a bit much. Then there are flies with major attitude, like the one pictured tonight. This fly was ready to take on the camera lens, or maybe its own reflection in the filter was getting it riled up, but it was ready to fight one way or the other.
