Awesome…… Reshared post from +Monterey Bay Aquarium We’re offering free admission to all federal workers until the shutdown of many U.S. government agencies ends. The offer is good seven days a week for all federal employees – both the 800,000 furloughed by the shutdown and other military and civilian employees still on the job. Any federal employee, regardless of where they live, will receive one free admission by presenting their federal I.D. card as they enter. (Does not apply to family members.)

Originally shared by +James Russell This is sick. The photos are creepy as hell. Any Animal That Touches This Lethal Lake Turns to StoneThere’s a deceptively still body of water in Tanzania with a deadly secret—it turns any animal it touches to stone. The rare phenomenon is caused by the chemical makeup of the lake, but the petrified creatures it leaves behind are straight out of a horror film.

It makes for a fun way to learn..  

for the photographer just starting out it is worth finding a local model that is willing to work with you and laugh at your mistakes… she helped me learn how to shoot better and we laughed together when neither of us could figure out how to pose….
