this is an old picture that i did about 2 or 3 months ago. i really like it though so i thought i would upload it, but i like to think my editing had improved a bit since then, there's definitely a huge difference in my shading technique XD
i'm really angry/annoyed because my laptop that i do editing on has completely stopped working and it's also the one that has allllllllllll my pictures on and alllllll my sims (and i never uploaded my sims anywhere or gave them to anyone so they're all on that laptop :() so right now i'm hoping my dad can stop being lazy and fix my laptop hopefully tomorrow or the next day but until it's fixed (if it can even be fixed :/) then i can't work on any of my contest pics or anything :(
Thought I'd update you on the latest member of my furry 4-legged family - little hammie's been with me just over a week now. I named him "Pippin" (after the hobbit in Lord of the Rings, it just suited him - he's an adventurous little thing!). I'm so pleased with how well he's settled in... I'd been told in the shop he wasn't yet tame and worried he'd be shy. However, whoever bred him handled him well (or he's just an exceptionally confident little hammie!) cause from the start he's been a happy and nosy little character... After 24hrs, I started stroking him, then a little while later, gently scooping him up in my hands]. At first, he scurried off quickly, but now he will happily sit or walk over my hands for a few minutes at a time. He's never once tried to bite or anything :)
He goes out for little adventures each evening in his ball. Of course it's hard to tell with such a tiny creature but I think he really enjoys the explorations around our downstairs. He rolls up and down the hall, the living room and the kitchen, stopping only to sniff an interesting item in his path, give his face a quick wash... or, to investigate Barney!! I'd originally planned to keep dog and hamster apart, particularly when Pippin was in his ball - as Barney is ball obsessed and also a hunter of voles when we're on walks (albeit a very ineffective one!). However as Pip likes to roll everywhere on the ground floor, it wasn't really feasible, so I've taught Barney to be very quiet and calm when Pip's rolling around.
After one quiet but firm "settle down" from me, (he looked a bit too interested on the first evening) he has been good as gold. He actually tries to keep away from Pippin but there's no escape! Pip will spy Barney from up the hall and make a beeline straight for the big dog. He will then sit right up against Barney, sniffing at his paws and fur with obvious interest. Pippin doesn't seem scared, he's happy to groom right next to either dog and doesn't freeze or try and run off... In fact, if I move him away, he often rolls straight back to Barney! Barney lies quietly, deliberately not looking at the hammie and gently moving his paws out the way from time to time. Don't like everything the "Dog Whisperer" says but to use his phrase, Barney's the model of a dog in a "calm, submissive state". Obviously, I wouldn't leave them alone though, it's nice they seem to be co-existing but I wouldn't want Pippin to get hurt...
Anyway, Pippin seems happy in his new home, the dogs have accepted him and he's being very friendly and confident. All going very well really, now, if I can just clicker train him to pose for the camera.... ;-) Haha, will try getting some nicer pics soon, maybe of the odd pair together, reminds me of Bolt and Rhino (if you've seen "Bolt", you'll know what I'm talking about!)
40 years! I still remember being in 4th or 5th grade and talking with my friends about what we would be doing in the year 2000, how cars would fly and we would live in something out of the Jetson's, but more than anything talking about being married and each of us with 2, 3 or 4 kids and here I am in 2008 surrounded with people I love with all my heart, but still single and without kids. Someone once told me that if you wanted to make God laugh, tell him about your plans, well, I don't deny that I would love to have a family, but I can't complain either… I've lived an intense life with love and tears, a great job with a boss I love with all my heart, thanks boss for always being there, you are my soul brother,my older brother his family has adopted me as one of their own and life isn't enough to thank them for it, they've let me use my maternal instincts on their own children whom I love unconditionnaly, and well, what can I say of my friends, the family we chose, Myriam, Paty, Gaby and Dany, my life sisters that came to take my out of a huge down in which I didn't even know I was in God sent them to me at the right time alter passing the hardest test of my life.. Rebeca, Marcela, Gaby Caballero, Ana, Monika and all the liceas that accepted me as one of their clan, a thousand thanks to you and your husbands for all the happy moments.. Sissy and Mario, my beloved god-family, Gaby and Alex, sent from Queretaro to make me see that life has to be lived to the max. Maricarmen, Irene, Yesikka, Mari aines, why not, and well what can I say about all the men that have marked me throughout the years and for which I cannot complain of all the intense moments we share, but were not destined to last a lifetime but to teach me something for life.. to my unconditional charlie, leo and rob, my shoulders in which I can fall when the energy is getting low, to each of you for being the light that brighten my life, and at last but more importantly, the REASON FOR MY LIFE, the ones for whom I get up every day to keep living as happy as can be for the simple fact that they are there, MOM, DAD and ALBERTO I LOVE YOU!!! To all my cousins, political family, nephews, because without them it wouldn't have been as fun to grow up, for this and for every second I have lived with such intensity, THANK YOU GOD FOR ALL THESE BLESSINGS!!!
40 años!!!!! Todavía recuerdo cuando iba en cuarto o quinto de primaria y platicaba con mis amigas de lo que estaríamos haciendo en el lejano año 2000, los carros volarían y viviríamos en un mundo tipo los supersonicos pero más que nada platicabas de que estaríamos casadas y cada una decía que tendría dos, tres o cuatro hijos, y heme aquí en el año dos mil ocho rodeada de gente a la que amo con todo mi corazón pero sin casarme y sin hijos, alguien me dijo un día si quieres hacer reír a dios cuéntale tus planes, bueno no niego que me encantaría tener una familia pero bueno tampoco me puedo quejar, he tenido una vida intensa con amores y desamores, un trabajo excelente con un jefe que amo con todo mi corazón, gracias jefe por ser y estar, eres mi hermano del alma mi hermano mayor, su familia me adopto como una mas y es algo que no me alcanzara la vida para agradecer, me dejaron saciar mis instintos maternales con sus propios hijos a los cuales amo de manera incondicional, y bueno que puedo decir de mis amigos, la familia que uno escoge Myriam, Paty Gaby y Dany mis hermanitas de vida las que vinieron a sacarme de un letargo en el que yo misma no sabía que estaba, Dios me las mando en el momento indicado después de pasar por la más dura prueba de mi vida, rebeca, marcela, Gaby caballero, Ana y monika y todas las liceas que me aceptaron como una más de su clan a ustedes y sus esposos mil gracias por los momentos felices siempre!!!sissy y Mario mis compadres del alma, Gaby y Alex mandados desde Querétaro para hacerme ver que la vida hay que vivirla siempre al máximo, Maricarmen, ireny yesikka mari aines, porque no y bueno que puedo decir de los galanes que me han marcado a lo largo del camino, y bueno no me puedo quejar intensos momentos vividos junto a cada uno de ellos , pero que no estaban destinados a un de por vida pero si a una lección de vida, a mis incondicionales Charlie, leito y rob mis hombros en los cuales dejarme caer cuando la pila anda baja, a cada uno de ustedes por ser seres de luz que iluminan mi vida y por ultimo pero no menos importante LA RAZON DE MI VIDA por los cuales me levanto diario a seguir viviendo inmensamente feliz por el simple hecho de existir en mi vida PAPI ,MAMI Y ALBERTO LOS AMO!!!, a todos mis tíos primos, primos políticos y sobrinos, porque siN ellos no hubiera sido tan divertido crecer por esto y por cada segundo que he vivido intensamente GRACIAS DIOSITO POR TANTAS BENDICIONES!!!!!
This actually started off as a blank canvas and a purple texture. I then started playing with texture combinations and settings in PS, and this is where it all ended up. Perhaps I should have just called it Photoshop Fun!
I had a wonderful companion one morning in August when I went to get some blueberries. I saw a movement from the corner of my eye and saw this guy sniffing my backpack. The little fellow stayed with me about 20 min, just being around me, playing and running and being curious and friendly. I tried to tell him that one should always be careful and cautious around humans; not all are friendly. :) When I started leaving, he did too. I haven't seen him after that. Nothing like this haven't ever happen to me before and usually in that forest I hardly see anything else but a few birds, so this was very unique happening to me and certainly something to remember.
We just cam home with this little guy. He is an American/Boxer Bulldog mix. He is 6 weeks old and knows no fear.
I think that I like Kilter but we haven't committed to anything yet.

I`ll be in and out of local shots and Northumberland for a while now.
This was taken early the Sunday before last, We wanted to get a dog walk in before it got hot once again and so glad we did too, I shot a number of images as the sky was amazing with nice cool spots of rain which did not come to anything.
We have a nice wild flower meadow near us which made a nice foreground to that amazing sky, shoot for the highlights . Always have your camera with you as you never know when a shot will present itself.

I’m thinking about getting another puppy.
It’s been over 6 years since I took this photo of Jackson a few days before he passed away. Many of you know how horrible it is to lose your best buddy, and wonder if anything could make it worth going through that heartache again.
Folks who don't have pets get to skip those crushing feelings, but then miss out on so much else.
I think what I miss the most about a dog is the absolutely joyful, goofy celebrations that occur over the smallest of occassions. Just walking anywhere near the leash produced intense stares, fidgety ears and small hopeful yips. Actually picking it up was cause for a leaping, dancing, spinning celebration.
Jackson could tell by what clothes I wore the kind of day it would be. He sat glumly on the bed while I put on a suit and tie, but wiggled, woofed and wagged when I put on blue jeans and a T-shirt. Of course I pretty much acted the same way.
Coming home was the cause for the biggest celebrations of all. I suspect the sound of the garage door opener got the party started, because by the time I walked through the kitchen door Jackson was in full fledged loopy mode. Thoughts of too many deadlines and too much traffic would melt away in the midst of leaps, licks and love. And Jackson didn’t care if I’d been a gentleman or a jerk before I left – my return received the same wild welcome. It also didn’t matter if I’d been gone 10 hours or 10 minutes.
Yeh, I miss that. Maybe its finally time for a new puppy…
Intro to "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom"
Excuse the terrible photography. I haven't mastered white on white yet. ;-)
If I learned anything last weekend, it was that winter is coming. Much colder than I was ready for. The first night we slept on a foot of snow in a tent. The second night was in a freezing hut.
After discovering the Whistler Gondola was shut down for the season we started up Singing Pass trail at noon. After finally breaking out of the trees I started to posthole through the deepening snow and we made camp just before dark. Despite the surprising amount of snow I slept really well. Next morning the surface was crusty and much easier to walk on. Up and over Cowboy Ridge (where this photo was taken). Then down to the BCMC cabin at Russet Lake. The temperature dropped some more and it was hard to keep warm during the night. Thankfully we brought a stove for warm drinks and food. The trail out was much icier but only took about 4 hours to get down to the Village. The plan next time is to go up the 3 mountains above us - Overlord, Fissile & Whirlwind.
Edit: If I learned anything today, it was that my Packers are legit Super Bowl contenders again. Note the new toque I'm rocking. :)
The goat or domestic goat (Capra hircus) is a domesticated species of goat-antelope typically kept as livestock. It was domesticated from the wild goat (C. aegagrus) of Southwest Asia and Eastern Europe. The goat is a member of the animal family Bovidae and the tribe Caprini, meaning it is closely related to the sheep. There are over 300 distinct breeds of goat. It is one of the oldest domesticated species of animal, according to archaeological evidence that its earliest domestication occurred in Iran at 10,000 calibrated calendar years ago.
Goat-herding is an ancient tradition that is still important in places such as Egypt. Goats have been used for milk, meat, fur, and skins across much of the world. Milk from goats is often turned into goat cheese.
Female goats are referred to as does or nannies, intact males are called bucks or billies, and juvenile goats of both sexes are called kids. Castrated males are called wethers. While the words hircine and caprine both refer to anything having a goat-like quality, hircine is used most often to emphasize the distinct smell of domestic goats.
In 2011, there were more than 924 million goats living in the world, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization.

CN 1423 found its way to the Edmonton area for the first time in some years after the Winnipeg training campus deemed that it was not needed anymore. I've heard rumours it's being preserved but haven't heard anything concrete. What a treat it was to be able to see one of these in the year 2025!
Pity the little boat isn't mine :(
And yes, the water was REALLY that colour. It is only slightly retouched :)
Wanna see it bigger? Here it is!

This simple idea took about two hours to implement - mainly because I tried to have a photo shoot and some wine at the same time. We still have our Christmas tree up so I figured I might as well use it for bokeh again.
The way to make what appears inside the lens to be out-of-focus is to put another lens in front of it. Then you have a major headache figuring out which way to move it until you have precisely the thing you want inside.
Strobist info: Man-made Christmas tree from Walmart ($15), two lens, two Sunpak 5000AF: 1) high right with CTO gel into the silver umbrella; 2) left with grid snoot, both at 1/64. Camera is set at WB 3200.

I guess these are a type of Sphinx moth but are smaller than the chunkier & rarer Sphinx's. It's unusual to see one of these small, busy moths land but this guy stopped to perch in the lantana, I got a series of shots, and he continued around the flowers. Georgia yard

Love I get so lost sometimes
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
All my instincts, they return
The grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes
The light, the heat (in your eyes)
I am complete (in your eyes)
I see the doorway (in your eyes)
To a thousand churches (in your eyes)
The resolution (in your eyes)
Of all the fruitless searches (in your eyes)

Went out last night to shoot the sunset from the Blue Ridge Parkway. The sunset never happened, but we did get to stop and grab some shots of a passing storm over Asheville, NC.
