Ya, that is a Bee in the center sucking the nectar from a mallow bloom.

As those at BFVA got a chance to see first hand, CAC has some new colors available and will be posted later today.

 

These are just some of the combos I was playing around with. ^_^

As evening falls over the Kentish countryside.

The mountainous coastline as seen from the decks of the Ocean Nova as we cruised through the Errera Channel, in Antarctica. This is another shot that I'd originally over looked on my first pass, but which caught my eye when re-processed in Lightroom 4 with the 2012 process engine.

 

A favourite technique of mine is to produce high contrast between the Highlights and Lights in the tone curve. The traditional method would be just to produce an S-type tone curve, but I almost never do that … I find it rather dull. I prefer to drag the Lights significantly to the left, and Highlights towards the extreme right, and often my Darks will end up higher than of my Lights. This only really works on high key images which have the bulk of your histogram towards the right, such as winter scenes, but it makes your highlights pop and drama to the scene. My friend Doug Chinnery nicknamed this technique Birching, in which case this particular image has been welled Birched!

Since 2017, I've been engaging in a number of short, private crossdressing opportunities at home, after acquiring and trying out some new clothes, shoes, and accessories. This is another pic posted from this renewed CD activity, and was taken inside my house.

 

As usual, I really enjoy color-coordinating attractive/sexy/cute outfits, and this one features:

* a Sepia Collection "Broadway" long layered curly frosted golden blonde wig with bangs, from Wig Factory in SF;

* Jennifer Lopez yellow patent "Alana" leather pumps with cork platforms & 5.3"-stiletto-heels, from Kohl's;

* a light yellow/cream striped mock-button-front ribbed-knit miniskirt, from Forever 21;

* a light yellow geo-design open-knit scoopneck sweater, from Forever 21;

* neon yellow wide-net fishnet tights, from WeLoveColors.com;

* a yellow 3"-wide waist belt, from BeltIsCool.com;

* an INC yellow polyester sheer scarf with printed botanicals/florals & tassels, from Macy's;

* yellow/gold bracelets and necklace;

* gold rings & hoop earrings; and

* gold/clear "ear cuffs" (long dangling jewelry cuffed to the sides of the ears), from Forever 21.

 

The full video (2019-07-10 video1) is now posted on my YouTube channel at youtu.be/FUWi3fLImo0. Please check it out and comment/fave here and/or there if you like what you see.

It's Bridge Month with me, Tim van Zundert! Showing you the best bridges in Hessle every. Single. Day.

 

Ok... so yes, I've chosen to upload a fair few photographs of the Humber Bridge. I really did like it that much. Hopefully they're all different/unique enough to not be *too* boring for you lot.

 

This was taken worryingly close to a group of young people who had a small car that makes a lot of noise. Basically, a nervous Tim's natural predator. Yikes.

 

I almost feel like, visually the group were the strong, stable bridge lights, and my nerves are the blurred, drawn reflections.

As I was looking back upon this past year I noticed that my photos were heavily dominated by landscapes. My goal this year is to get more of an even balance between people and places.

This image comes from the bus station of Port Orleans Riverside at Disneyworld. While my wife and I were waiting for transportation these three children came right into view celebrating their Disney Side.

as usual, i'm so glad he "made me" go for a walk.

Last Saturday I went to the Wakodahatchee Wetlands, it is a park located in Delray Beach, Florida. The park was created on 50 acres (200,000 m2) of unused utility land and transformed into a recreation wetlands open to the public with a three-quarter mile boardwalk that crosses between open water pond areas, emergent marsh areas, shallow shelves, and islands with shrubs and snags to foster nesting and roosting. The boardwalk has interpretive signage as well as gazebos with benches along the way. Over 151 species of birds have been spotted inside the park, including pied-billed grebe, snowy egrets, and black-bellied whistling ducks. The park is also home to turtles, alligators, rabbits, frogs, and raccoons.

As the Full Strawberry Moon rises on the other side of the sky

As I plan my November trip to Death Valley, I'm looking back at prior visits in November.

as seen from my doorstep - vor meiner Haustür

As the description says, the Chicago skyline from the Willis Tower's famous 103rd floor SkyDeck. This shot is showing the view from the northern wall of Willis Tower (Sears Tower). From here you can see downtown to the north of the Sears Tower and the northern neighborhoods as well as some of the northwestern ones too.

 

Some important landmarks visible despite the hazy weather will be noted on the picture. I will leave out some landmarks just due to it cluttering up the picture, but put some in so you know some reference to certain places.

 

What you see directly below and in the center is the roof line (it looks like a rusty railroad track) on one of the signature "Tubes" of Willis Tower (Sears Tower). This "tube" terminates with two floors reserved for mechanical use. They terminate at the 90th floor with the 89th floor being the last floor of the tubes. This is one of three "Tubes" that terminate just below the last set of "Tubes" that terminate at the 108th floor and the official roof of the tower. These terrace like rooflines will become green soon with solar panels and wind turbines on them. They will also plant grasses and other "green" plants on some as well. This will be done in a massive effort to make the tower (the tallest in the Western Hemisphere) a "Green" building and a LEED Certified structure. That's awesome news!!!!!

As it can be seen in some of my Gibraltar pics, Jewish community is pretty important in the city and is historically recorded since 650 during the Muslim area.

 

I wanted to travel to Morocco by boat in order to experiment visually the continent change from Europa to Africa. Only on land travelling make the passenger really feel the distance and the cultural evolution all along the way. Since I had previously visited Sevilla, Malaga was for me an obvious starting point for a short Morocco trip. Then I would go to gibraltar, Tarifa and take the boat for Tanger, my first Morocco city. The trip lasted 3 weeks until I reach south of Atlas Mountain Range, just before the desert.

 

The conclusion of my travel is that I could not recognize any Moroccan people anymore since I could realize that from north to south, and depending of the mountain side landscape, geography and people are totally different.

As a child I often wondered why I was me and not someone else which might possibly explain why the day eventually came when I changed who I was. But I can still ask myself why I'm transgendered when most people wouldn't even dream of it. as for normal people it's definately off-limits. I do think we all are different and have a purpose in life, and whereas most of you have wives and a family fate has denied me the social bonds you all enjoy and I'm out here on my own like the wilderbeast and zebras on the velt watching out for cheetahs and lions. Of course because I have no ties it means I can be different without hurting others and that makes it more than okay. So I don't think I am doing anything wrong as someone has to be Jojo don't they and sitting at the back of the class dreaming of fabulous creatures that young boy might as well be me because I put my hand up first.

...so did the snow continue to fall on us...there would not be a sunny sunset this evening.

The other day we saw this dog running energetically on Ravenscraig Beach. The tide was so low that it was able to run along the shore past the end of the pier and gallop back and forth across the mud, to the mouth of the inner harbour. It made the run back and forwards about a dozen times, jumping off the stinking harbour mud and splashing into the water then back to the beach. It ignored its owner's calls for about twenty minutes, because it was having such fun and so were we, just watching its antics.

tree or thank you! Blooming tree for Berglind. Thank you my talented friend for your kind words!

 

From Stockholm last weekend. Most of the (Japanese) cherry trees are not in bloom here any more, things happen so fast (in nature) at the moment...wish I could stop time. LOL! :) Happy weekend everyone!

 

Better view

The sunrise itself was eclipsed by the heavy cloud bank on the horizon. However this bright orange beam made an escape as the sun lifted and found a break in the clouds.

As I was walking is the street in El Cocuy in Colombia, I asked this woman if I could take a picture of her sitting on her chair. She accepted and then spontaneously called her husband to sit down beside her.

As I mentioned in the previous photo's description - I have contracted COVID-19. I spent almost the entire January sick, tired, and coughing, but overall - the symptoms weren't nearly as bad as they can be (thank you, vaccines!).

*

I'm now feeling almost as good as new and my quarantine period is nearly over. But the darn brain fog is so persistent! When covid combines with my naturally scattered mind, it's quite a disaster: I forget words in both languages, I forget where I put things, I forget what I wanted to do two seconds ago... It's pretty annoying, but it can also be hilarious.

*

Oh well, I'll keep taking care of myself, taking vitamins, avoiding alcohol, and creating - as it seems that I'm my focused and sharp self only when I create.

as a gal with 3 brothers, I think her boredom from attending sporting events has only just begun. (I think she will have plenty of activities herself, soon!)
