“Listed as Endangered under the Endangered Species Act, the Ash Meadows Sunray is endemic to the refuge. That means you can't see it anywhere else. That's right, it only lives here at Ash Meadows NWR. This unique plant is blooming now and should bloom through June.” (Ash Meadows NWR)
Ash and Pikachu from the Pokémon series.
I started working on this last fall around when Pokémon X/Y came out but didn't like how my joints worked so tabled it for a while. The head still feels a little big and bobbly and standing him up can be a pain but overall it was a fun build :)
A little early for peak colors but there were a few patches where the leaves had started to change in the Galiuro's. This picture was taken along Ash Creek on the trail to Bassett Peak. Processed in HDR Efex Pro 2.

"I look ridiculous!", Ash said, standing their in a purple thong and top with her perky breast barely contained by a purple fishnet bra.
"You look great Ash", Iris replied without even looking up from her phone.
"IRIS!.....Can you put the damn phone down and look at me!"
Iris sighed and looked up, tucking her phone into the waist band of her pink thong. "Look, I agreed no more performing over sharks or anything that could hurt you and you said you would start performing again AND.....let me pick the costumes. So, I decided if our act became a little risque, it will go along way."
"You want us to be topless by the second act!.......and fully nude by the third!"
Iris laughed off her partner's concern. "Like you've never performed naked in front of an audience before, Ash"
"No....no I haven't Iris", Ash replied as she crossed her arms over her exposed breasts.
"Oh.....so the millions of views your videos got on taintpainters.com doesn't count?", Iris asked with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
Iris' phone chimed before Ash had a chance to respond. "Damn it!", she muttered to herself as she scrolled through her phone.
"Expecting a message?"
"Yeah, the clinic is supposed to message me the results from my STD Blood Panel", Iris said out loud while slipping the phone back into her thong.
Ashlynn's eyes widened and her jaw dropped.
"Ok Ash, let's go knock'em dead!"
*********************************************************************************
Iris and Ashlynn were introduced to a packed house of mostly men. The girls got a standing ovation full of wolf wistles before the show even got under way. The cheers grew even louder as Ash and Iris both ascended their respective towers. It seemed Iris plan had worked.
The show got underway and the girl's act didn't skip a beat. Their twirled and soared gracefully through the venue, showing off their acrobatic skills. The crowd gasped in suspense as Ash flipped and twisted through the air. With no net below to break her fall, one wrong move could ruin the performance and possible destroy Ashlynn's life. Time seemed to slow down as the pint sized aerialist seemed to fly through the room, a blur of purple spandex and tan flesh. Iris swooped in on her own swing and caught Ashlynn by the wrist and swung her friend back to the safety of the platform.
"One more pass in act one!", Iris called out as she swung to the other side of the apparatus.
This last trick was something the girls always saved for the end of the show, but they both agreed that the crowd would get a better visual affect from this stunt if they were still in costume. The maneuver consisted of Ashlynn getting enough momentum that she when she finally let go of the bar she would be able to pull off a quadruple back spin into a twist and finally be caught by Iris who would come swinging in upside down.
Iris winked at Ashlynn from the other side of the trapeze rig. Ash smiled back, took a deep breath and began her approach. She swung from one side to the other, picking up speed. The drooling men in the audience watched with amazement as Ash let go of the swing and began twisting and spinning flawlessly through the air. Iris swung in by her knees ready to catch Ashlynn by the hands when suddenly her phone vibrated against her curvy hip. "My results!", she thought and reached for phone. Ash's eyes widened as she came out of her final flip and focused in on Iris swinging through the air with her attention on her phone.
"IRIS!!!!", Ashlynn screamed out in horror
"THE RESULTS ARE NEGATIVE, ASH!", Iris yelled back
*******************************************************************************
8 hours and 1 trip to the emergency room later.
"Everyone loved the show, Ash!"
Ashlynn scowled at Iris as she sat on her living room couch with her broken leg propped up under a pillow. "Well I didn't love it, Iris.....I have a partner that can't put her phone down for 5 freakin minutes to make sure I don't die!"
"Look Ash, I am sorry.....It was a mistake but this was life altering news!"
"Kinda like falling out of the freakin sky and getting lucky that you landed Gus The Gassy Goat!"
Iris looked at her friend and pouted her lush lips. "Oh Ash, is there anything I can do to make it up to you?"
"Well first you can.........
Iris' phone chimed in interrupting what Ash was about to say. Iris pulled her phone out and smiled as she brought up a text from her good friend, Mark.
"OH MY GOD ASH!....It's Mark.....he wants me to come over tonight to celebrate the negative test results!!!", she excitedly yelled out loud.
Ash stared at her friend texting away. "You've gotta be fucking kiddin me!"
Ash is our oldest cat- great old girl who will be 19 this year! And Callie is a little girl we took on with her two brothers when a friend of ours passed away. Ash is not REALLY so social, but since Callie is very needy and sits with us, too, every night, Ash finally felt some compassion, I think . . . or maybe she was just too asleep to notice. LOL! :)
Ashness Bridge is the most photographed and painted man made structure in the Lake District. Borrow Beck flows down under the ancient pack horse bridge and in to Derwent Water. Skiddaw provides the perfect backdrop to the scene. As I was passing I thought it rude to pass over taking a shot

Another scene at Mountain Ash Colliery in the Cynon Valley, South Wales depicts Austerity No.8 being watered (via a leaky pipe] on 7 December 1978.
The power station waste ash disposal trains are not easy to capture on the 3-ft gauge Bord na Móna running lines operating just one service a day and, without a lot of waiting around, being in the right place to capture one is a matter of luck. On Friday 8th November 2019, an unidentified Bord na Móna 4-wheel diesel-hydraulic trundles along the 'main line' section between Lanesborough power station (from which smoke is visible above the permanent way depot shed) and Mountdillon. The ash would be disposed of on distant worked-out peat bog workings on the eastern side of Lough Ree and would not return with the empty tippler wagons for another two hours or so.

Ashness Bridge is perhaps the most photographed packhorse bridge in the Lake District. This photo of the iconic bridge was taken with the sun setting, giving a warm glow to the sky and hills. Located near Keswick in the Lake District National Park.
This is a panoramic of Ash Cave in Hocking Hills State park. Located in southeastern Ohio this park has some amazing geologic formations that make for some breathtaking landscapes. If you look hard my wife is in this shot for a perspective on scale!
This shot is a three frame panoramic with each frame consisting of a 5 shot HDR. The sun was awefully harsh but it worked out alright I guess.

Don’t know what future these saplings have with Ash dieback spreading in the neighbourhood.

I have been practicing a lot of different editing and lighting techniques lately. For this shoot I wanted to experiment once again with harsher lighting and go for a semi-black&white image (not sure what the proper terminology would be), but I am having a lot of fun practicing with different lighting techniques and mixing up my style. I also am stoked on several images that I have taken recently, but can't post them quiet yet.
Lighting Setup:
- AB800 shot through a beauty dish to right of camera
- AB800 shot bare left of camera and behind model
Big day for practicing Catholics: Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the 40 days of Lent.

Ashness Bridge in the Lake District is a traditional stone-built bridge on the single-track road from the Borrowdale road (B5289) to Watendlath, in the English Lake District. It is at famous for being a fine viewpoint across Borrowdale towards Skiddaw. It or its predecessor may have been a packhorse bridge conveying packhorse traffic from Watendlath to Keswick.
Near the bridge is a small cairn to Bob Graham, who ran a round of 42 Lakeland peaks in 1932 (in under 24 hours), a record which was not equalled for 28 years.
Myiarchus cinerascens,
Near Cayucos, CA
I have watched two Ash-throated Flycatchers as they brought food to nestlings in a nestbox a number of days recently. It was an awesome nature experience. I was very impressed with the frequency they brought food and sometimes when I was away from the scene would think that they were STILL searching for and delivering food at that moment. They would land near the nestbox with their prey, then often at length scan the area before flying to the nestbox. This apparent suspicion was part of their pattern before I started to gradually get closer. I really felt that as I stayed still when they approached that they essentially ignored me. Photos were taken on different days with different lighting.
My observation ended in an anticlimactic way. One day I came back and no flycatchers were coming to the nestbox. I did hear one or more in the distance. I hope all the work of the parents was fruitful in producing viable offspring.
Chapter 1 - Episode 8
Location: Desert Wasteland - Horizon's Edge, World of Ruin
Ash stepped out of the rusting shack, looking out into the vast emptiness of the gorge before him. Horizon's Edge was a poor mining settlement located on the western rim of the Burning Canyon. The Wanderers here lived a harsh life, digging in the dirt for minerals they could barely afford to sell. The Melting Sands that flowed through the settlement and down into the Burning Canyon like slow-moving waterfalls, posed a constant threat, one false step could be the difference between life and death. A vicious cycle, Ash thought to himself.
Ash was a fearsome warrior, heavily armored and courageous beyond words. He stood alone, looking out into the Canyon; he could still hear the distant sounds of her voice, screaming in agony. She was just a child, and didn't deserve such a fate. Ashamed, dishonored, and alone, Ash fled from his former raider clan to the settlement of Horizon's Edge. A place he thought safe, a place where he could atone for his sins. Ash was a raider. He had taken many lives. But this life, tortured his soul, burning in sorrow. He knew that in time, they would come for him. They would track him to this place, force him to rejoin their ranks, or suffer the consequences. If he refused, they would burn Horizon's Edge to the ground, and kill everyone who lived here. His very presence in Horizon's Edge put the Wanderers living here in constant danger. This only compounded their already bleak existence, many of whom face death around every corner. If it wasn't the Burning Canyon or the Melting Sands that claimed lives, it was an imminent raider assault.
Ash had grown tired of killing, killing for the wrong reasons. A deep feeling of regret had come over him in recent years. He watched his fellow raiders slay innocents without regard for life. After the incident, he came to realize that life was something sacred, and he took that away from those he slew. And for what? What did the inhabitants of these settlements even have to offer? Nothing. The Calamity that fell from the sky destroyed this world, countless seasons ago.... was he so different? Every night, Ash is visited by all the Wanderers he took from this world, in nightmares that seemed to never end. They would speak to him; they would say "Welcome Ash". He could never shake the images of them from his head. One day, he would join them in peace. He would join her in peace, who smiles upon him, who doesn't blame him for what he did. Only the innocence of a child could think this way. He was forever grateful.
Ash wouldn't let the Wanderers living here suffer the way he has. He couldn't. He won't. He would fight for them, until his dying breath. The time will come when he would have to make a stand against the raiders. The settlers here knew nothing of his past, but strength came in numbers. He would have to prepare them, without revealing who he was, or what he has done. Ash clenched his makeshift battle axe, driven by a new fiery passion, to protect innocent lives, not destroy them. Horizon's Edge will live on, let them come, Ash thought to himself. He would be ready.
