The water was crystal clear and the white sand under the surface was reflecting the sunlight. It was perfectly temperate for a swim.
Strobist info: A Sigma 530 DG Super kept on the right of the subject was fired towards a blue reflector held over the water at an oblique angle. The flash was triggered optically by the on-camera flash.
A pair of Greylag Goose (Anser anser) was enjoying a winter morning while foraging. I had to sit for long time to get their trust and then they offered me a close up! Pics was taken from a wetland in Birbhum, West Bengal, India.
I'm still on a Chihuly high . . . and when I think of Helen Keller not being able to see this magnificent brilliance, my eyes fill with tears. Yet her faith and lack of sight strengthened her spirit and soul. I feel so blessed to have all my senses, and never take them for granted . . . they are as special as my rare friends who, along with me, tread lightly on this beautiful path called life.
“Treat your friends as you do your best pictures, and place them in their best light.”

“In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light,
and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness.
Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi ~

Lunch cruise aboard "Lobster Roll."
We sailed from Sesuit Harbor just after noon with perfect weather, good times, and the best lobster rolls I've ever had. They were HUGE!

Backcountry lake and reflection, sunset | Kings Canyon National Park
Hope I'm not boring you too much with these High Sierra lake shots...because I have a bunch more in the queue :)
This is the long-promised view in the other direction from my photo "Horseshoe" a ways back. Also, if you're paying attention to the dates on my shots, you might notice that this was the evening before my "Leaning Towers" panorama!
This weekend was so stormy that I had to wait two hours huddled near some lonely trees (nice to not be the tallest thing around with all that lightning...) just to make it over the pass. These are the storm clouds clearing back at sunset...I woke up to crystal clear skies the next morning but the clouds quickly built back up and the storm hit even harder. The light was changing by the second. Lots of fun.
I'm headed up to the Sierras this weekend on another backcountry adventure...have a great weekend! As always, all types of feedback are highly welcome.

Tall, tan, and fit swimsuit bikini model goddess! Testing some new video channels for the epic Hero's Journey Mythology bikini swimsuit model photoshoots, where you can view videos shot at the same time as stills:
Follow me! Let me know which ones your like best! :)
A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic journey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour. Just like Helen of Troy, she's worth fighting a ten year war for! :)
Got a brand new Prime Lens--the Carl Zeiss Sony Alpha e-mount FE 55mm F/1.8 ZA Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* Lens! Let me know how you like it! :)

All the best on your Epic Hero's Journey from Johnny Ranger McCoy!
Modeling the black & gold Celtic Cross and "Gold 45 Revolver" Gold'N'Virtue swimsuits, shirts, & lingerie with the main equation to Moving Dimensions Theory on the swimsuits: dx4/dt=ic. Yes I have a Ph.D. in physics! :) You can read more about my research and Hero's Journey Physics here:
herosjourneyphysics.wordpress.com/ MDT PROOF#2: Einstein (1912 Man. on Rel.) and Minkowski wrote x4=ict. Ergo dx4/dt=ic--the foundational equation of all time and motion which is on all the shirts and swimsuits. Every photon that hits my Nikon D800e's sensor does it by surfing the fourth expanding dimension, which is moving at c relative to the three spatial dimensions, or dx4/dt=ic!
All The Best on your EPIC hero's journey from Johnny Ranger McCoy! :)
Falling in love with the full frame 36 megapixel e mount Sony A7R!
The books behind the pretty goddess on the Malibu beach hut and surfboard are The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon, Homer's Iliad, Homer's Odyssey, Shakespeare, and Herman Melville's Moby Dick! My favorite books! Will have some video of the pretty model reading them beside a campfire soon.
They're all collectors editions! My books cost as much as my surfboards!
And for those who always ask, I shoot in RAW! Always! :)

On a walk around Mona Vale with a Flickr freind May 2019 Christchurch New Zealand.
Mona Vale, with its homestead formerly known as Karewa, is a public park of 4 ha in the Christchurch suburb of Fendalton. The homestead and gate house are both listed as heritage buildings with the New Zealand Historic Places Trust (NZHPT). The fernery and the rose garden, and pavilion with the setting of the park along the Avon River, add to the attractiveness of the property. It is one of the major tourist attractions of Christchurch.
The land initially belonged to the Deans brothers, whose homestead is Riccarton House in Riccarton. William Derisley Wood leased the land and built what became known as Wood's Mill. The weir in the Avon River was built in the 19th century and forms the Mona Vale mill pond, which still exists today.
Frederick Waymouth and his wife Alice purchased four acres of land and had a homestead built in 1899–1900, designed by architect Joseph Clarkson
Maddison.Waymouth, who called the homestead Karewa, was the Managing Director of Canterbury Frozen Meats. Maddison was a well-known Christchurch architect, who amongst other buildings designed the freezing works in the Christchurch suburb of Belfast. It is thought that this connection between Waymouth and Maddison led to this commission.
The Mona Vale gate house in 2007
Waymouth sold the property to Annie Quayle Townend in 1905, who renamed it to Mona Vale after her mother's house in Tasmania. She was the daughter of a wealthy Canterbury run-holder, George Moore of Glenmark Station. She was his only surviving daughter and he had bequeathed her one million pounds, apparently making her New Zealand's richest woman at the time. Townend added nine acres of land to the property and had a gate house built just off Fendalton Road. After the New Zealand International Exhibition, held in Hagley Park, finished in 1907, she purchased the exhibitions fernery including its plants and had it reassembled at Mona Vale. The present collection of ferns were supplied by Landcare Research in Lincoln, the Christchurch Botanic Gardens and the private collection of the late Arthur Ericson. Townend also added the bathhouse to the property. She died in 1914.
The property was sold in 1962 to the Church of the Latter Day Saints. When the church intended to subdivide the property and to demolish the homestead, a public outcry resulted in community fund-raising. The Christchurch City Council and the Riccarton Borough Council bought Mona Vale in June 1969 for the purpose of turning it into a public park. The purchase of Mona Vale is credited to Christchurch mayor Ron Guthrey.
Until the 2010 Canterbury earthquake, the homestead was operated as a restaurant, café and function centre, often used for weddings. The building is currently closed due to earthquake damage.
Scaleber Force is a stunning 40ft waterfall whose crystal clear waters tumble over limestone cliffs before plunging into a deep pool.

This little set was a wedding present. I used to use it a lot once. Just makes nice bokeh these days. Sitting on a glass table which is reflecting the sky.

New gemstone hoops in my shop, featuring Rock Crystal Clear Quartz wire wrapped in oxidized sterling silver.
Do you want to make a pair of hoops like this your self? Here is my tutorial for Ruffled Hoops earrings!
Photography for me, or shooting in particular, makes me slow down, and really look at the world. It makes me realise there are infinite moments in our life that can become 'priceless', and every single one of those is precious

son #3 found these glass orbs at a garage sale over the weekend and knew I could put them to use..thankfully there are three sizes cause the largest one is HEAVY but the smaller ones won't be a problem to lug around to the beach at sunrise one of these days.
Have a great week!
