I started off the month of April by walking to the border of Mexico. I was sent out to the grocery store ... and took a detour. I was standing on the border when I received a phone call. "Where are you mom? What is taking you so long!!" :-)
There weren't many folk about ... a few surfers, some dog-walkers, a lone fisherman ... and some horseback riders on the Mexican side of the shore. When I saw this beach umbrella, I couldn't resist!

Mont Blanc (French) or Monte Bianco (Italian), meaning "White Mountain", is the highest mountain in the Alps, Western Europe and the European Union. It rises 4,810.45 m (15,782 ft)[2] above sea level and is ranked 11th in the world in topographic prominence. It is also sometimes known as La Dame blanche (French for "the White Lady") or Il Bianco (Italian for "the White One").
The mountain lies between the regions of Aosta Valley, Italy, and Haute-Savoie, France and the location of the summit is on the watershed line between the valleys of Ferret and Veny in Italy and the Arve Valley in France.
The two most famous towns near Mont Blanc are Courmayeur in Aosta Valley, Italy, and Chamonix in Haute-Savoie, France—the site of the first Winter Olympics. A cable car ascends and crosses the mountain from Courmayeur to Chamonix.
Begun in 1957 and completed in 1965, the 11.6 km (7¼ mi) Mont Blanc Tunnel runs beneath the mountain between these two countries and is one of the major trans-Alpine transport routes.
The Mont Blanc massif is popular for mountaineering, hiking, skiing and snowboarding.
The summit of Mont Blanc is a thick, perennial ice and snow dome whose thickness varies, so no exact and permanent summit elevation can be determined. But accurate measurements have been made. For a long time its official elevation was 4,807 m (15,771 ft). Then in 2002, the IGN and expert surveyors, with the aid of GPS technology, measured it to be 4,810.40 m (15,782 ft 2 in).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont_Blanc
The Aiguille du Midi (3,842 m) is a mountain in the Mont Blanc massif in the French Alps.
The cable car to the summit, the Téléphérique de l'Aiguille du Midi, was built in 1955 and held the title of the world's highest cable car for about two decades. It still holds the record as the highest vertical ascent cable car in the world, from 1,035 m to 3,842 m. There are two sections: from Chamonix to Plan de l'Aiguille at 2,317 m and then directly, without any support pillar, to the upper station at 3,777 m (the building contains an elevator to the summit). The span of the second section is 2,867 m measured directly, but only 2,500 m measured horizontally. It thus still is the second longest span width, measured directly.
Comparison photos of Lesser Scaup and Greater Scaup. The photo in the first comment box below shows a female Greater Scaup. Lesser Scaup has a more peaked crown with a noticeable corner of the crown above and behind the eye. Greater Scaup's head is more rounded. Greater Scaup also has a larger bill which flares out a bit towards the tip. Greater Scaup also shows pudgier cheeks if you can get a head-on view of the bird.
Both photos were taken at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge in Central Florida

This is a passage to the train station where I live. I was heading for the train on my way to the city core when I heard these kids running and screaming behind me. I felt a picture coming and I grabbed my camera, crouched down and took this shot as they passed me...

Josh Groban - You Are Loved (Don't Give Up).

Voglia,.....di vita
.
Abbiamo corso a più non posso
giocando nel parco della vita.
Lunga fu l'attesa, e fu la tua vita;
tramonti, aurore,
finché non sei sbocciato
tu, nostro piccolo fiore.
Brillano i suoi occhi, o
petalo di rosa
e all'imbrunire della sera
quieto è il cuor tuo
sotto le brillanti stelle.
Tormenta è in cuor tuo,
armoniosa, sorridente, gioiosa,
la sua anima è incatenata.
Ma nel prato fiorito ti ho scorto
tu, o mia fanciulla innamorata della vita.
………………………..……Luigi Mirto
.

Desire,..... of life
.
We ran like hell
playing in the park of life.
The wait was long, and it was your life;
sunsets, sunrises,
until you blossomed
you, our little flower.
His eyes sparkle, or
rose petal
and dusk of the evening
Your heart is quiet
under the brilliant stars.
Blizzard is in your heart,
harmonious, smiling, joyful,
his soul is fettered.
But I've seen in the flowery meadow
you, my girl's love life.
…………………..…………Luigi Mirto

It was another nice day out today so making the most of it and trying to stay outside as much as possible! was just me and the dog at home today so I took out the camera for a muck about. I really wanted to have a go at capturing motion here's my attempt, this is Cassie (my dog) chasing after a tennis ball haha. This is the sort of thing I wouldn't normally post on Flickr but the sheer determination in her face I just had to share!

Uno de los glaciares que avanza en el Campo de Hielo Sur. Este avance fue constatado por el estanciero Finn Samsing, quien entre los años 1925-1926, fundó su estancia frente al glaciar, pero debido al avance de éste, tuvo que evacuar la zona. Es considerado el glaciar más grande del hemisferio sur, con 1263 kms. cuadrados y un largo de 62 kms. (año 1995). Lo que se ve en la foto es menos de la mitad del glaciar.

I thought I'd show a sample of a wedding a did over the weekend. I started at about 8:15am shooting the bride getting ready, through to the wedding banquet in the late evening around 9:30pm. Those who have shot a wedding before will know that it's physically, mentally and even emotionally exhausting. You either love it or you hate it... and I do love it~

Catching up with my fave spot of Toronto's mixed forest :-)
Captured quite a few interesting moments in this spot during February... but first wanted to share this dramatic "after sunset" scene I witnessed recently.

A half-demolished Nelson's Pillar on O'Connell Street, Dublin.
From the front page of the Irish Times on Tuesday, 8 March 1966:
"The top of Nelson Pillar, in O'Connell street, Dublin, was blown off by a tremendous explosion at 1.32 o'clock this morning and the Nelson statue and tons of rubble poured down into the roadway. By a miracle, nobody was injured, though there were a number of people in the area at the time."

The sky is still clearly overexposed but the fairy tale landscape might compensate that, at least a little.
The Pyrenees mountain range forms a fantastic backdrop to the entire Ariège Department, rising some 3,000 meter (10,000 feet) in the Montcalm Massif, along the border with Andorra and Spain. The highest peaks are clearly visible visible from Toulouse in the Haute Garonne. It is one of the least populated and most unspoiled regions of France. The locals enjoy keeping traditions alive, especially old farming techniques. Consequently, as fewer insecticides, for example, have been used, the flora and fauna of the area continue to be rich in both diversity and numbers. Butterflies are common and birds are numerous; particularly noticeable are large birds of prey, including the magnificent Griffon vultures.

Numerous notable landmarks are located in Manila, such as Rizal Park, and the historical Intramuros. Rizal park is a crescent-shaped 58 hectare park that lies within the heart of Manila's cultural and business district, as an honor and dedication to the country's national hero José Rizal, who was executed in the same place where the park was created by the Spaniards on charges of subversion.

This week I have seen how much I have improved the last months.. It feels good to know that I am getting better. Sometimes it feels like I am seeing this world with entirely new eyes. Suddenly I see, I feel and I care about other things than what I used to. Everything changes over time. I'm happy to know.. :)
Enjoy your weekend everybody! :)
Check out the Before & After
Enjoy an image of the Seattle skyline from the northwestern neighborhood of Magnolia. In the immediate foreground is Smith Cove Waterway, part of the Port of Seattle that houses extremely large cruise ships during the summer months.
In the center, the mill with the green lights is actually a grain terminal (still in operation) and is located adjacent to a fishing pier that’s open 24 hours a day.
The very scenic Elliott Bay bicycle trail goes through the area, known as Myrtle Edwards Park. I take this route to and from work eight months out of the year. In fact, bike season, for me, starts on the first Monday in March! Can’t wait!

A different view of the same scene here.
Last week I rented a Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 lens from Borrowlenses.com. This lens is truly a thing of beauty and awesomeness.
Funny story, actually. So, I rented the lens last week and headed to this very same spot to take some wideangle sunset shots. I spent a good hour on that windy ridge snapping away as my fingers got more and more numb. Anyway, I got some great shots that evening. Well, I thought I had gotten some great shots, but when I processed them they were covered in dust. Every single one. And I have no idea how all that dust got on my sensor. Anyway, yesterday I ran into Borrowlenses.com's San Carlos, CA location and had my sensor cleaned while I waited. Tonight I took the rented lens out for the last time (it goes back tomorrow) and took the shots I had wanted to take last week. And guess what? Tonight's sunset was ten times better than last week's...and dust-free to boot! How's that for luck? This lens is going on my wish list. It really is an amazing, amazing lens.

Continuing my Toy-ronto Life series...
Happy Miniature Sunday, Purple Hour edition yet again :-)
This is from the last Sunday, when I had a great roof-top photo-session during the snowy purple hour. Captured this purple magic in many of my fave places I tend to photograph from the roof-top, of course, Toy-ronto spots included :-) So do expect more of this long-exposure purple goodness in the near future :-)
More of toy-some tilt-shift fun is coming - stay tuned / bientot a l'ecran ;-)
Part of my Magic Purple Hour series.
Yesterday night went to photograph the street art in back alley ways of china town. This was the first shot I took handheld (with ISO 2000, f/8, 1/13sec) just to check the composition with wide angle, before setting up the tripod. After that I took around 15 shots. Interestingly this one I like the most!
Well, again uploaded two photos in one day and in reverse order!! this one is yesterday's shot! Was too sleepy when came back home to process and upload!
