One of two new sets on the way to D.N.R !!! ( 3 new locations just added !! )
Agnes: Dave, this is amazing!
Dave: What's that?
Agnes: We have a lake!
Dave: Yes. Same lake as we've been at since you were a puppy.
Agnes: Really?
Dave: Yes, really. You've just absolutely refused to go anywhere near it for three years.
Agnes: I thought it would kill me so I refused to acknowledge it's presence.
Dave: That I could see.
Agnes: And guess what?
Dave: I'm betting it has something to do with the lake.
Agnes: It has everything to do with the lake! There are rocks!
Dave: Okay.
Agnes: And apparently I really like rocks. And try to guess something else!
Dave: You never noticed the rocks before.
Agnes: Totally true. You're very good at this guessing game. But there's something else! The lake didn't try to kill me!
Dave: I always knew that the lake didn't have a personal vendetta for you.
Agnes: Well, I didn't know that. So this is great! I want to spend every day collecting rocks from the shore.
Dave: Good to know. Have you considered dock jumping and swimming?
Agnes: Hell no. I don't trust the lake that much. So for now you humans need to be within three feet of me so I can collect cool looking rocks without freaking out.

This was a big week for Agnes. After three years of being terrified of the lake and wanting nothing to do with it she cried to go down to the lake while Bruno was swimming. Her first trip down was a quick one to check out the scene, get scared, demand cuddles, adventure a bit more, get more cuddles, then head back to the deck. The next day she demanded lake access immediately when Bruno went in. Then she spent about half an hour collecting rocks from the water's edge. The kids would show her the interesting ones and she would pull them back to shore with her front paws. She never went more than elbow deep, but now has a nice little pile of rocks on the beach. I have no idea what she plans to do with her rocks. but they have all been carefully selected and piled in place.
I remember this night so fondly. My wife and I travelled to Cannon Beach, Oregon and the Pacific Northwest area. We spent a few nights on the beach taking in sun, rain, sandstorms, and an ankle I severely sprained while out on a hike. She built this fire and I remember it more when I think back about that trip than spraining that ankle. Collecting moments is something I love to do.

Collecting Echoes
Glass works its reflective magic as it collects and series of shapes and bends them anew. They gather, forming a pattern of delight. Metal pathways are and sweep through the frame - roadways of sorts for my eye to follow. A touch of warmth and a hint of cool add a feeling of life - a type of motion perhaps - to this abstract study of space. Spatial relationships are intentionally absent. This isn't about seeing something specific. It's about feeling it.

This is an adult pika "making hay while the sun shines," consuming vegetation but also collecting large amounts of grasses, leaves and flowers to dry cache within its den among the boulders to consume over the coming winter. It's unusual to see them with a mouthful of already desiccated material at this time of year, usually they go for the more nutritious green stuff, but I guess they gather everything they can while they can before winter, which comes early, and stays late, up here.
Pikas, the smallest members of the rabbit family in North America, are a bellwether species in that they cannot survive in temperatures consistently above 78°F, which is one reason they are found only at high elevations. As average summertime highs rise throughout the globe, many pika colonies have disappeared when they cannot migrate to higher, cooler locations.
They are, fortunately, still thriving in the Absaroka-Beartooth wilderness. The colony I find easiest to photograph is near the 10,947 feet summit of the Beartooth Pass on US highway 212.

This shot at Pella Crossing beside the trail shows the shore and water's edge of the pond on the east side of the park off North 75th. It comes from another trip out to Pella Crossing ponds open space park. (Pella is an ancient city located in Central Macedonia, Greece, best known as the historical capital of the ancient kingdom of Macedon - Wiki. Were Greek scholars among early settlers at the Pella river crossing? sheesh - what's in a name?) I doubt there was any connection whatsoever.
Boy it looks like this is a stay-out-of-the-water park setting! That's right, as always - ashes to ashes, dust to dust, dig a gravel pit and fill 'er up. It's nice to know that we can ignore the environment forever. It looks like the environment is working on rebuilding natural siltation itself. Even the water is growing on its own. Mankind rips away and the environment does its best to refill the void. This is now the St. Vrain to include the proposed recycling center. How to chose life and a living, breathing environment?
I found a good day for my circuit of the East Side Trail at Pella although it looks like there are no clouds on that June day. I blazed away when I find possible shots, even shots like this one. Anyway, here it is.
It is very pleasant sometimes to walk in nature through unknown places and take nice photos. By the way, and the photo was taken on Helios 44 (58mm with a 2.8 aperture)

Me, at the landing zone of a property that used Treasure Quest tokens to collect for free Lindens.
There are a variety of groups you can join in Second Life to make money, however, not all games require a group membership and are available to anyone. I think of the games offered as the current version of "camping," where residents used to stay in a designated area or on a chair in location for a period of time before they could earn some Lindens. Sometimes, camping residents might have to perform a service like scrub a floor, etc.
Property owners purchase the items that distribute Linden money in order to attract visitor traffic to their properties or businesses. The number of visitors is then used to rank these properties in terms of popularity when people use keywords to search for places in Second Life that match keywords in the description of the location.
For me, collecting money through these games helps provide me with an income that I can use in turn to not only buy goods and supplies for myself, but also to use for tipping entertainers and businesses...spreading around the wealth, as they say. Second Life definitely has a diverse economy to support!
A collection of railroad memorabilia located just west of Horicon, WI. The owner has impeccable taste!
This is a scan of an original kodachrome slide. It was scanned with an Epson Pro V750, and finished up with very minor post processing work in Photoshop.
Clicking on the Photo will enlarge it to its full size for your screen
The original comes from my own slide collection, which contains both my own photos and those acquired over the past forty or so years collecting.
Uploading of photos in this Flickr collection is for one reason only, and that is to allow them to be enjoyed by people who find them of interest. Otherwise, much of this material would continue to remain hidden away in boxes and pages. Comments on the photos are welcomed.

In the wine cave at the Gibbston Valley Winery
We toured the Gibbston Valley vineyards on a frosty morning, tasted award winning wines in the underground wine cave and savored cheeses at the on-site cheesery. Gibbston Valley Winery is an award winning winery (produces world-champion wine), centered in one of the world's most celebrated Pinot Noir producing regions.

Again, as the sunshine was too beautiful to ignore we carried lots of empty jars down to a near photo spot - and we're quite pleased with the results! We'll be uploading more in the next few days :)
I have it on good authority that this bee is Leioproctus sp. female. A Flickr colleague of mine asked me to take some video recordings of this native bee while it buzzed from Drumstick flower to Drumstick flower. (This footage is in my gallery now).
I wanted to get some still images of it as well for double confirmation. They were noisy, busy and erratic fliers, so proved as challenging as the last time I snapped shots of them! I also took a number of photos of other native bees which I will upload in the coming days!
The flowers these bees (and many others) are enjoying are Isopogon anemonifolius flowers. Found late morning on a fire trail in Faulconbridge, mid-Blue Mountains, NSW.
