Back to posting a few more old photos from my archives - again. Just not getting out enough and to the right places to take any decent shots. I am adding a description that I wrote under a previously posted photo taken on the same trip.
"On 26 September 2016, I had planned to join a group of friends for a birding walk at Bebo Grove, Fish Creek Park. By the time I had had breakfast, I was feeling somewhat queasy and thought I had better not go on the walk after all. Felt a bit better later in the morning and decided to go to the Park after all, getting there about noon. Met a delightful young man standing on the bridge over the creek, pointing out to me a perched bird of prey. My first thought was Merlin, but it seemed to be too big to be a Merlin. It took a while to decide just what it was - helped by excellent birder, Nimali, who happened to come along the path. We decided it was a Cooper's Hawk ('C' for curved edge of tail tip and 'C' for Cooper's). Looking at my photos later that evening, I was still not sure that we had made the right decision. Lol, even the best of birders (which definitely does not include me!) sometimes make mistakes : )
This bird stayed around for ages and gave some nice opportunities for photos, including of it 'mantling' (spreading out its wings to form a cloak) when it captured a large dragonfly and returned to the same branch. When two of us were first standing on the bridge, this bird flew down right over our heads two or three times - maybe because we were attracting insects around us? We noticed a second similar bird, too, and we wondered if they were maybe juveniles, especially as the main one was very comfortable with us standing nearby. Made my day : ) Later: really appreciate everyone's help with identifying this bird as a Merlin!
"Merlins are small, fierce falcons that use surprise attacks to bring down small songbirds and shorebirds. They are powerful fliers, but you can tell them from larger falcons by their rapid wingbeats and overall dark tones. Medieval falconers called them “lady hawks,” and noblewomen used them to hunt Sky Larks. Merlin populations have largely recovered from twentieth-century declines, thanks to a ban on the pesticide DDT and their ability to adapt to life around towns and cities." From AllAboutBirds.
I even spotted several mushrooms earlier in my walk, which was a surprise. Can't believe I was out in the park for about five hours! A very enjoyable walk - glad to have your company, Nimali, and that of the very knowledgeable young man we had just met."

Alviso, a small town in the San Francisco Bay Area, is always fun to visit. It's only 20 min from home and workplace, so I like to go there once in a while for sunset. I took this shot on a clear day. I wish there would be more days with clouds or rain.
Do you recognize the title?
I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from three RAW exposures, merged them selectively, and carefully adjusted the curves and color balance. I welcome and appreciate your critical feedback.

It is not often i hem skirt with visible topstitching... (not really liking it..)
What do you think?
I just want to tweak, tweak, tweak but I have to stop somewhere.
I wanted to raise the waistline even more, shorten the skirt, whatever....
But it is ok now? :D
I am asking because I think I want to add this as a possible future buyable sewing pattern... :D

One of my sister's less attractive habits is wandering in to shot to see what I am photographing. At least in this one she can add scale.

I not really catty! I'm just acting that way! ...Successfully too, I might add! [Giggle!]
I still do have this "thing" about tight, shiny ensembles and this catsuit, corset & thigh boots combo looks and- even better- feels absolutely delicious!
Another pic from my 2011 archive!
I'm wearing a wet look silver lycra spandex front zip catsuit from milanoo[dot]com that I've matched up with my black lurex spandex opera gloves, and my black satin over bust corset both from wickedtemptations.com, and my black vinyl thigh high platform boots with the 5½" heels from electriqueboutique.com.
