As you know I've been building up my photography kit over the last few weeks. This week's purchase was a Lee Filter Kit and Big Stopper. This is my first attempt with it; let me know what you think.

You might not expect to come upon a castle while visiting Spokane, but that is exactly what you will do if you visit the Spokane County courthouse. Most of us associate such architecture with romantic old castles in Europe, or perhaps something out of the world of Walt Disney or fairy tales. To find such a building in the center of a modern, growing regional hub city such as Spokane is a bit startling.
The courthouse is said to closely resemble two famous 16th century chateaux in the Loire Valley of France, the Chateau de Chambord, built in 1519 and the Chateau d'Azay Le Rideau built in 1516. Many architects through the years have commented on the masterly replica of a 16th century French Renaissance design, its fine lines of style and proportion with regard to the towers and turrets, the sculpture, iron and brickwork which excel in pattern and craftsmanship. Detailed exterior trim such as shell patterns with wreaths and festoons and decorative arches are a few of the outstanding features of its design. The beautiful center tower, now lighted at night, is a masterpiece of detail in itself.

Hommage à tous nos Poilus Morts pour la France durant cette première Guerre Mondiale ! il y a 102 ans .... Mais leurs actes restent toujours dans nos mémoires ... A tous ces enfants orphelins de guerre, à toutes ces veuves qui se sont battues elles aussi ! à leur manière, pour vivre et survivre !

Hymenopus coronatus, also called H. bicornis, is a mantis from the rain forests of Southeast Asia. It is known by various common names including walking flower mantis and orchid mantis. This tiny creature is only about the size of my thumbnail!
不只一次在番仔澳遇見這兩位，先前也曾在夕陽時分遇到過，他們總是一路並肩走上大象，一起坐在象背上欣賞大海晨昏，這樣的好感情，令人欣羨，祝福他們。

My friend and I had hoped to capture a nice sunrise on the icy shores of Lake Ontario today....but with the warmer than usual weather we've had, there was little ice to be found and no beautiful sunrise. Instead we found this dirty patch of ice on the rocks and used our flashlights to do some light painting. Two different lights cast a warm and cool glow which made the one rock look like "gold"
