I can't think of many places where you can get nice reflection shots of sequoia trees, so we had to stop here a couple of times while in the area.

Poor little honey bee captured to become a big lunch for this small spider.
Sad but fascinating to watch through the lens. Nature in action.

A wave of anarchist violence has been crashing through the streets of Portland, Oregon, since June 2020.
The criminals are not the Black Lives Matter movement. Neither are they "Antifa," whatever that is.
No, paradoxically, they are surprisingly well organized for people who pose as anarchists. They use Twitter to incite, plan and celebrate their "autonomous" direct actions.
Like extremists on the right, anarchists torture language and traffic in lies. For example, they insist on Twitter that damaging property is not a form of violence, though the way they smash windows, set fires, tag buildings and pull down beloved statues of great Americans such as Abe Lincoln very clearly is.
Justifiable anger over unchecked organized vandalism is met with the accusation that victims of anarchist riots care more about property than human lives. This rhetorical dodge is meant to play on liberal guilt and depends on people not recognizing a false binary when they hear one.
Callow, ignorant youth who have never been responsible for anything more economically complex than a skateboard shrug off their criminal responsibility for significant vandalism on the ground that business owners have property insurance.
They have no inkling of the real-world consequences of their actions such as the cancellation of a business's insurance or a ruinous increase in premiums.
You won't find anarchists at the negotiation table articulating their objectives or making concessions in the interest of advancing reforms. Anonymous violence under cover of darkness is their only form of argument and persuasion.
Not only do anarchists flout laws duly promulgated under our democratic system, they deprive citizens' of their constitutionally guaranteed freedom of expression by harassing and attacking members of the public and journalists for daring to capture photos or videos of anarchists in the act of committing crimes.
What are the anarchists' non-negotiable demands? They seek extremist outcomes such as total abolition of police and prisons that would never be approved by a majority of legislators or of voters in a free and fair election.
Portland's hapless and incompetent mayor lacks the political will to shut down Portland's anarchists.
The police, for reasons known only to the union leadership and insubordinate members of the rank and file, won't act decisively to interdict anarchist direct actions before they gain maximum destructive momentum.
Our deluded county prosecutor has contributed significantly to the damage in downtown Portland as a result of his ill-conceived policy not to prosecute most of the "alleged" wrongdoers the police arrest during anarchist rampages.
In true Portland form, we put a flower on it and carry on.
Taken in the Sandia Foothills on the outskirts of Albuquerque, New Mexico on new years eve. One of the most, if not the most, colorful sunsets I've ever seen. Had an amazing time.

Long exposure shot taken at Myrtle Beach under a pier just before sunset, and the lights were coming on underneath to highlight the waves! Actually, it was much darker to the eye at that moment, but the long exposure captured a lot of light, plus the flood lights were shining down on the water. It was a beautiful and enjoyable evening for us. I was able to get a few shots along our walk down the coast. The temperature was perfect and the fresh sea air was amazing! And last we ended our journey with a pit stop for seafood on a beachfront restaurant 👌👌 :)
Thanks everyone for all your support, and I appreciate the friendships I have gained since I started Flickr!!
God bless you and yours...

This shot was taken at Mona Vale Pool the location for our annual Focus Christmas shoot - 60+ Togs celebrated the year together. It was a great day.
My grandad gave me this camera, it's really old, and very heavy. I havn't taken any pictures with it yet, but I would like too, just need to buy some film.

One of my favorites, such detail in the set... video cassette, disposable camera, and old-school film cartridge!
A VDL SB120 with Plaxton Centro bodywork is captured at Woodside Bus Station. Unusually, this is the first time this make and model of bus has worked out of Arriva's Birkenhead Depot. This batch was new to Winsford depot for their mid Cheshire routes to destinations such as Crewe, Northwich and Macclesfield.
