Nikolai is one of my very first characters when I first started creating them, Nikolai is a young boy that comes from a mixed race backround. He has lived in a moving circus all his life, among wild animals and evil witches, He comes from the dark forests of central europe, and his destiny is Paris.
Several months ago, we got to spend some time with a pair of American dippers. We stumbled across them while out looking for whatever we could find. In the distance a song sparrow was singing its heart out along the river's bank and that's when we saw this pair flying back and forth. At first we thought that they were foraging for food, but it soon became clear that they were actually foraging for nesting material ... to which they would promptly return back to their nest building site.
It was so much fun to photograph them as they would fly swiftly ... nice and low across the surface of the water.
We tried to visit and find some babies, but while they were still there, we didn't see any little ones. Perhaps it was too early ... perhaps they had already fledged or just not out and about at the moment. Who knows, but the experience of our encounter was good enough for me!
Thanks so much for stopping by to view. Hope everyone had such a wonderful weekend. Tom is safely home, so my heart is happy and full. :-)

I used to hang actual candy canes on the tree, but the cats would pull them off and chew on the cellophane wrappers,(they weren't interested in the candy,it was the crackle and crunch of the cellophane that was the big attraction), so now I've replaced them with plastic ones.
They're still fun to knock off the tree and bat around the floor.
I see so many people using Instagram these days, with so many (and I'm hesitant to say it) ... really bad pictures. So I finally installed the app tonight and played around with it. It definitely can be a cool tool, but I think it really takes some thought and effort into how the filters and effects benefit or improve the photo you're sharing, and in many cases, they don't. I scoured my pics for a bit until I put together this frame, which brings out the contrast of my black pup with the blue blanket, while blurring out the rest of the shot to give her an eye-catching sharpness. It's not really my type of thing, but this one did turn out pretty well.

Strobist details: A Godox TT600 with a CTO gel to the left, in high-speed-sync mode so I could keep the aperture at f/2.8, triggered by the XProO in my hotshoe.
I shot this at the Portland Art Museum's exhibit featuring 40 years of photography at the independent Blue Sky gallery in Portland, Oregon.
For one minute,walk outside,stand there in silence,look up at the sky, and contemplate how amazing life is♥
1.Where do tennis balls come from, trees perhaps, or the sea?

3.How do the little-hoppy-long eared-scared animals disappear into the ground?
4.Who invented dog biscuits?
5.When will the next game of fetch will happen?
6.Will you EVER be allowed to chase those funny bleating-woolly-scared-animals?
7.How dangerous are baths?
8.How can cars run so fast when they've got no legs?
9. If you bounced high enough would be able to catch the giant-silver-frisbee-in the sky?
10. Can you train an old noisy-2-legged-big-dog new tricks?

Barney always contemplates the serious questions of life upside down, with his paws waving in the air :) He says it's a good way to clear your head and come at problems from a different perspective... so next time life seems overwhelming, try rolling over and waving your arms and legs around, according to my dog, it'll help (I'm not so sure)!!
