Yesterday Nicolette van der Merwe flickrmailed me asking how to put links in her captions. Well, I've been doing this a long time. I built my first web page using Windows 95 on Geocities. I taught myself HTML, and built web pages a year before I knew how to cut and paste type. That will teach you quick! Typing out hypertext as though it is a different language (which it is) over and over again with the smallest error screwing everything up will cement things in your head.
Unfortunately, I do not know how to make hypertext show up in a web browser so I can show someone else how to do it over the internet. So Nico, this is for you. Up there on the wall is my low tech explanation of how to make a link. Click the photo if you need to make it bigger. Don't forget your anchors!
Now the Herrios at We're Here! are having tea to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Well. Where I come from we drink our tea on ice, we don't cotton to no queen, and we don't care where she put her diamonds. But still, I learned not to mock the queen from a squadron of Royal Marines in a bar in Perth Australia. They were all drinking beer to the queen. So I figure that will do as well. I couldn't find any British beer behind the bar, but I think Queen Elizabeth is also Queen of Jamacia, so I hoisted out a Red Stripe.
So here's to you Queenie! On behalf of all the sailors who should have whupped up on some Royal Marines in Perth, keep your HTML straight. Just don't be coming around here showing your jubilee. Unless it's Mardi Gras.

Strobist: One of those big umbrella looking things over there. One of those shiny circles over here. Set off by that antenna thing on top of my camera.

I think I am head over heels for John Mayer. My friends and I are going to find tickets for his 2012 summer tour, because I think I just found my dream man's voice...;)
this bokeh is from my backyard...I know, I'm amazed too.
Grasshopper teaches us to be patient and know when to leap. Progress isn't always made by moving forward step by step. Sometimes, it seems that life is moving forward for everyone else but you feel "stuck". But if you are willing to take a leap, it has the potential to be tremendous and carry you a great distance forward.
In Chinese, ancient Greek and Native American symbology, Grasshopper has been a symbol of abundance, wealth, luck and longevity.
Use Grasshopper’s gift of jumping to aim high and to take a radical leap of faith. Luck isn’t passive. Fortune comes to those who have the courage to take a leap of faith—to trust in themselves and their ability to create and persevere.

One great new photostream to view is this one:
Noticed that I had only uploaded pictures of 3 of the One-77s that I saw in 2011, so I am starting 2012 by fixing that.

iPad brushes. Looking towards Didcot. A warm "sunny" summer day for a change, strong contrasting light, flashes of poppies here and there, purple shadows.
I'm interested in how one can build up strong textures by the use of multiple layers.
We took the road north out of the city of Yuma, but we weren't leaving it's borders just yet. In fact, we were in for a surprise along the way to the next stop. Well... The whole thing was a surprise to Candy, but I got a few of my own as well along the way to places I'd picked.
I loved the view on the road here, shot taking while driving.
Hot + hot + hot!!!
It's so hot here that everybody is lazy. I should lay down and take a nap like Davide, George Clooney ;-)

A lovely evening on Millstone Edge a few weeks ago with Paul Newcombe. There's a bit too much road in this for my liking, but I was drawn to the curve of the cliff edge in the foreground.

A very short video taken on a small camera (so apologies for the quality and I hope it works!), in the background you can hear our guide on the radio and then you'll hear quite a few camera shutters! But the sweetest noise of all is the high pitched meow of the babies.
P.S. It was quite windy too so we were being blown about a bit!
P.P.S. I'm no great cinematographer!

I think it's an Arcus (Shelf) Cloud.

From the very first day I met Zosia years before, she has introduced herself as "ta" Zosia and so it remains. She is and will always be "ta" Zosia to me. I am very proud and honored to have been able to spend some time during the holiday rush, capturing her in the world that she now considers home; the stage.
And now, Zosia has a few words to say.......
*** polish version ***
Mam na imię Zosia. Do Poznania przeprowadziłam się we wrześniu 2012 roku, aby studiować filologię romańską, choć moją pasją było aktorstwo. Wkrótce jednak - studiując dziennie, pracując popołudniami, a w weekendy ucząc się aktorstwa - postanowiłam oddać się temu, co naprawdę kocham. Porzuciłam romanistykę i kolejne lata spędziłam, rozwijając się w studiu aktorskim i pracując na swoje utrzymanie i niezależność. Przez cały ten czas moim największym wsparciem byli Erik i Agnieszka, których poznałam na samym początku mojego życia w Poznaniu, a Bigfoot Coffee Shop, który prowadzili, stał się moim (wcale-nie-drugim) domem. Jak Erik swego czasu żartował, przychodziłam tam tak często, że wreszcie musiał mnie zatrudnić I jest w tym chyba ziarnko prawdy, bo przez ostatnie półtora roku, które spędziłam w Poznaniu, rzeczywiście pracowałam w kawiarence moich przyjaciół. To jeszcze bardziej ukształtowało mnie jako młodego człowieka wkraczającego w dorosłość, nie wspominając o tym, że to właśnie w Bigfoocie poznałam mojego ukochanego Nicka i moich najbliższych przyjaciół. Tę niesamowitą poznańską przygodę musiałam przerwać, aby otworzyć kolejny rozdział: University of the West of Scotland zdecydowało się przyjąć mnie na drugi rok aktorstwa, zaczynając od września 2015. Mój ostatni rok studiów spędzam właśnie na wymianie na Malcie. Historia toczy się dalej, miejsca się zmieniają, ale uczucia w sercu wciąż są te same
Thank you.

Malou give birth to a beautiful baby last week at Marineland Antibes, France. Please do not use without permission.
From The Botanical Magazine of 1876 we learn that some roots of this striking Globba, Jungle Ginger, were sent to the famous botanical gardens at Kew in 1864. Hooker calls it Yellow Dancing Ginger - without the 'Girl', which has since been added to the English. The Latin specific is for Robert Hermann Schomburgk (1804-1865), a highly versatile English public servant and naturalist originally from Prussia who served as Consul in Siam (now Thailand) from 1876-1864. It was he who sent those bulbs to Kew. The generic 'Globba' is New Latin for the Ambonese-Malay name for this plant: Galoba.
I put up another Dancing Globba (maratina) in this stream in 2012: www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/6776137215/in/photolis.... But the present one is certainly more striking!

E dopo questa foto di Milano comincerà la rutilante serie francese dovuta alle mie vacanze: Parigi – Brunoy – Lione – Vichy. Ma intanto finiamo con le foto di Milano. Che poi questa è una foto risalente addirittura all'aprile scorso. Post-pasquetta, comunque. Solo che il rullino l'ho portato a sviluppare assieme a quelli delle vacanze. D'altronde un po' pigro lo sono.
Comunque questa galleria è uno dei luoghi più particolari di Milano. Perché fino a qualche mese fa era occupato da, credo, un bar-ristorante, il quale lo tappezzava di teli rosso porpora che lasciavano intravedere le sedute (anch'esse piuttosto pompose) che si trovavano nella galleria.
Poi, nel giro di una settimana, evidentemente, il bar ha chiuso e questa galleria si è completamente svuotata e quindi ho potuto entrarci finalmente per fare qualche foto.
Attualmente (beh, attualmente. Non ci passo da prima delle vacanze, magari adesso è cambiato qualcosa) è così, tutta vuota, dentro non c'è più niente. Ricordo che forse qualche clochard l'aveva utilizzata come rifugio, ma è sparito dopo poco.
Non so. Ogni volta che penso a questa galleria rimango sempre un po' disorientato: il suo svuotamento e la sua conseguente improvvisa rivelazione mi ha molto colpito. E mi colpisce ancora di più la sua vuotezza attuale. È un luogo talmente particolare che non riesco a capirlo. Tutto questo vuoto m'attira e un po' m'inquieta. È grande, ma adesso è completamente vuoto. E, apparentemente inutilizzato. È difficile spiegarlo ma è come se quel vuoto, adesso, gridasse.
Grida così tanto che forse, penso, questo luogo è sempre stato vuoto, con i teli, il rosso porpora e i tavoli e le poltrone. Era vuoto prima. Adesso, che dentro non c'è più niente forse si è finalmente riempito. E me lo fa sentire ogni volta che ci penso.

A mannequin that I found in the "Most Haunted House in Britain" at 35 Stonegate in York. (www.hauntedhouseyork.co.uk/)
Truth be told it wasn't that scary a place but this looked kinda spooky when it was in the dark.
Of course the flash totally ruined the effect provided by the house so I processed it up to give it an edge again.
Bit surprised to see this one on explore, but... There you go :-/

This was actually taken in late March last year where there was bright green grass in place of this snow. Just playing with layers again, The farm is a very old homestead here in Langley down in Murrayville. I see it on my way home as I drive up Fraser Highway. It sits between the Hwy and Old Yale Road.
This is looking south from Fraser Highway to the WJ Berry Dairy Farm, later named Belmont Dairy and is still a working dairy farm today. It is located on Old Yale Road between 208th and 216th on what was known as Langley Prairie west of Murrayville. The old homesteads were all kind of linked together such as WJ Berry, Murray, MacDonald, etc., all living in "the Langleys"
Langley Prairie, within the Township of Langley became what is known today as Langley City as a separate entity which was incorporated as a city in 1955. It remains within the Township (where I live) and links to Fort Langley via Glover Rd which runs north south. So we have what they call ... "The Langleys" in these parts stringing together the Birthplace of BC which is indeed Fort Langley and all the farms along the old highway (Old Yale Rd) leading to Yale, then on to the interior of BC back in the late 1800s, early 1900s..

Back to dresses and bun. This is a Patrones dress I made a long time ago, it is very light and comfortable to wear, although one of my students pointed out this afternoon that it makes me look pregnant... Gotta love them!!

explored! :D an old photo I found that I took, back in 2010, of a perseids shower set against the Milky Way. :) I love starry night skies so much, I can't even... ahh ♥ (if you look closely, you can see a few lines that are actually shooting stars, and that big, bright light at the top is Saturn!)
(there are a few more on my blog, and they're all in colour, so if you'd like to take a look, just click the link: twinkle, twinkle.)

As 2011 winds down, I want to thank all of you who have supported me and my photography. I couldn't have done it without you!
This year saw fellow photographer Joshua Cripps and I teach many full workshops to groups of great and enthusiastic photographers. What a blast! Another sold out workshop this past Saturday was our last outing of the year, but hopefully soon, we will have some new dates and new locations for 2012.

Jupiter is the northernmost town in Palm Beach County, Florida, United States. According to the 2015 Census Bureau estimate, the town had a total population of 62,707. It is one of the northernmost communities in the Miami metropolitan area, which was home to an estimated 6,012,331 people at the 2015 census. It was rated as the 9th Happiest Seaside Town in America by Coastal Living in 2012.
The area where the town now sits was originally named for the Hobe Indian tribe which lived at the mouth of the Loxahatchee River, and whose name is also preserved in the name of nearby Hobe Sound. A mapmaker misunderstood the Spanish spelling "Jobe" of the Indian name "Hobe" and recorded it as "Jove". Subsequent mapmakers further misunderstood this to be the Latin translation of the god Jupiter, and they anglicized the name from the god Jupiter to "Jupiter". The Roman god Jupiter (or Zeus in the Greek mythology) is the chief Roman god, and god of light, of the sky and weather, and of the state and its welfare and its laws. Jupiter's consort was Juno, inspiring a neighboring town to name itself "Juno Beach".
The most notable landmark is the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse, completed in 1860. Made of brick, it was painted red in 1910 to cover discoloration caused by humidity. Hurricane Jeanne in 2004 sandblasted the paint from the upper portion of the tower, and the tower was repainted using a potassium silicate mineral coating. The lighthouse is often used as the symbol for Jupiter.
