This is the oldest continually operating grocery store in California. Located on the St. Helena Highway, it is a destination for wine-soaked tourists and hungry locals alike.
Happy Bench Monday from Oakville, California!
this photo represents depth of field because of the mountains that continually get farther away and the wind mills that do the same.
I am constantly drawn to the dandelions that continually grow in our lawn. It can be a challenge to get to them before they get mown over.
"according to categories of their own devising, which change continually. They seem to jockey for position. We think it's a status thing."
Nahum 3:19 “There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?”

Thanks to my dear friend Susanna that gave me the opportunity to photograph her beautiful Christmas Tree.

Fossils are found as the cliffs continually are eroded by weather
Garrapata Beach, Big Sur, California
The sand on Garrapata Beach is continually shifting with the storms and currents. These were some of the rocks exposed at the beginning of 2020. By the time the first shelter in place had lifted in that pandemic year and I could visit the beach, these rocks were all buried in sand again except for the very top of the large foreground rock.
The Wadsworth is an art museum founded in 1842 and opened in 1844. It is the oldest continually operating public art museum in the United States.
This individual is likely a first Spring male. The brownish flight and tail feathers and the slight brownish cast on the back point to that along with the reduced amount of black in the face (particularly in the lores) as well as the relatively pale yellow. My Kirtland's Flickr album shows several mature males for comparison.
This year we once again ran into a Smithsonian crew who continue to work with the Kirtland's warbler. No longer are they monitoring for cowbird activity but now utilizing radiofrequency tagging of some of the birds. We did not encounter any tagged individuals but only photographed a couple birds.
The primary limiter of Kirtland's population size is the amount of suitable breeding habitat. Since they require not only adequately sized areas of Jack Pine stands to breed but also younger stands where branching is adequate in proximity to the ground they continually need new areas to breed as others become unsuitable over time. As I've said before when you know what size of Jack Pines they prefer you can drive along in the breeding areas until you encounter such stands. Then you slow down, drop the windows, and listen.
If you can find such a stand of Jack Pines with a larger dead snag relatively close to the road it is generally only a matter of time before a bird on territory will sing from that snag and often sing there for quite a while. That is probably the easiest way to get open views of this bird. Also a windy and/or a cold day are not good days to seek this species out.

With raindrops on the windscreen, I took the risk to walk to the water's edge.
There must have been a shoal of fish working in close on a high tide, and the birds were continually moving along the water to the next likely spot.
Amsterdam - Stadionplein.
Move Mobility Experience is an interactive exhibition that is being continually updated.
Time to Move enables you to experience the development of mobility for yourself. You will see the past and the future of mobility in the city, with self-driving and electric cars and superfast bikes (move.amsterdam).
Een Volkswagenbus (uit 1954) als lift tegen de gevel. Een pneumatische pomp van Caterpillar die de voordeur opent, een zeldzame Porsche 356 als blikvanger en een showroom vol fietsen. Pon Holdings is neergestreken in Amsterdam. Het familiebedrijf, dat bij het grote publiek hoogstens de associatie met Volkswagen zal opleveren, heeft een anoniem onderkomen in Almere verruild voor de voormalige Citroënshowroom op het Stadionplein (parool.nl).
This Passiflora is a continual decor from May to the end of summer.
'Pink Passion' blooms generously. The big, very original, double, star-shaped flowers are bright deep pink.
The thick pale green leaves are three-lobed.
This selection behaves like a slow creeper of reduced size.
The plant is not hardy. It is necessary to protect it in winter.
Great Blue Herons have specialized feathers on their chest that continually grow and fray. The herons comb this “powder down” with a fringed claw on their middle toes, using the down like a washcloth to remove fish slime and other oils from their feathers as they preen. Applying the powder to their underparts protects their feathers against the slime and oils of swamps.
The water levels in the Lake District are high this autumn following the continual damp weather we are currently enduring. I suppose it wouldn't be the Lake District without the rain, but this autumn has been unusually unsettled.
This is the Jetty at Rigg Wood on Coniston's East shoreline. It is barely above water, with the tiniest of ripples creating waves over the wooden decking. I certainly had to don wellies to take this image.
I was hoping for a little more in the way of colour in the sky at sunset, but it still looked good with the clouds providing a bit of interest and the planking glistening in the last bit of light!
As SL models, the qualities of our mesh bodies, skin, hair, and cosmetics are continually evolving in the quest for perfection. Given the tasks of styling for our client designers, the choices we make are very important to create the right fashion statement vibe which we are expected to accomplish.
When it comes to modeling, if you love flaunting your curves and figure, there’s nothing better than adorning this well-conceived sexy and very chic ANNA-Mira vested bodysuit with its cropped notched-lapeled jacket, cuffs, and bowed collar for a fresh, new outlook.
The HUD's Fatpack Jacket, Body, Vest, and Collar come in five different colors to choose from. This outfit fits fits Legacy, Reborn, and Maitreya mesh bodies.
I completed my look with JUMO Originals LUVI Star Earrings and ASHANTI Lips for Lelutka EvoX.
This ANNA-Mira Outfit, the JUMO LUVI Star Earrings and JUMO ASHANTI Lips are all exclusively premiered at the SWANK Goth Halloween Event.

Another look at this ferocious little guy! I have two feeders, one on each end of the house. It seems to me that the dominate male and female have the one on one end and the two youngsters have this one. Although , they fly so fast it's hard to tell, but I do believe this is a juvenile Ruby Throated. They rarely spend time sipping the sugar water and instead continually chase each other in and around the bush. In just a few short weeks, they will begin that long journey south and I will miss all their crazy antics.
Calling this one 'Heart Tree' since there's a heart carved in it with the names Marcus + Olivia : )
Dedicating this photo to my Flickr friend Joanna who continually inspires me with wonderful Autumn photos
and has been pushing for me to upload more : )
(( please tell her that CRUSH sent you! ))
The sun was blinding but I wanted it in my photo so I
purposely captured it in the corner of the leaves & branch.
It really lit up the leaves : )
I also contemplated cropping the left side but began to
love that 'wrap around' effect from the colorful leaves
peeking through there as well... so I let it be!
(( This photo was captured in 'Widescreen mode', not sure why but I have no other format of it, hope this will do. ))
p.s. Just found out that I'll be away for a few days guys so I'll be sure to catch up with any comments etc. soon as I return : )
A big thanks to everyone for their inspirational photos and comments : )
See you all soon!

For the longest time, I used to believe that your successful images from a photo trip are your best possible outcomes, but I have realized that I have learned a lot more from my failed images. Since I have started to rate my images to streamline my editing workflow, it has been quite easy to identify the adverage or bad images, and I have made it a habit to ponder what I could have done differently.
I took the above image as we left the Alley Springs location in southern Missouri. I had taken advantage of a slight lull in the rainstorm to take the pictures, but now the rain was coming in full force, and we had to pack up and leave. And that’s time-consuming when there is a 2-year-old involved. Just as I was leaving, this scene caught my eye. It had a lot of elements that seemed interesting, like the water cascading out of the pump house, the gorgeous fall colors in the background, and the stunning details in the crystal-clear water. But I didn’t bother to put together a compelling enough composition in my hurry. I was relying instead on one of those exciting elements to carry the photo.
The problem with this composition is that it didn’t tell the whole story. The composition cuts off the wood and concrete structure rather abruptly and doesn't inform the viewer of the reason for the most dominating element in the frame, the cascade. And it is just too busy to work as a telephoto/detail-focused image. The more I look at it, the more I am conviced that I should have shot it as a wide panorama with better foreground details and the mill included. Hopefully, next time I will remember.
But I have so much fun with it! Thanks to my Flickr friend, Brian, who continually inspires me to create composites. Please check out his work and give him lots of views and faves and comments! I'll never, EVER be as good as he is! But oh my it's fun for me. Thanks for your views!
OOOpppssss ... forgot to say that all parts of this composite are from my own photos! And thanks again to Jai Johnson for the great textures.
Goodness, my poor chemobrain ... I had copied my friend, Brian's Flickr page address ... and then didn't include it! Aarrgghhh ,,, www.flickr.com/photos/8brian/
Came upon this tiny angel figurine at the back boundary of a cemetery. It's a place I continually gravitate towards. I like to stand right on the division between cemetery and regular land. I think in this case the adjoining grounds are also part of the cemetery, but not yet in use. Always a bit jarring to contemplate the thought that there are people still living and breathing that will one day be put to rest here. For the moment however, this grave marks the end of the line. And this miniature angel struck me as utterly forlorn and somehow out of place here. I took it to be an indoor piece, a curio of sorts that you might see on a bedroom dresser. Perhaps even owned by the deceased. And now it's been set out here to stand vigil over her grave. It seems so vulnerable set against the stormy sky of a raw April day. The garish paint already beginning to fade and chip out here in the elements. All that aside, it was the fixed gaze in the painted face that seemed to convey a sense of recognition coupled with great sadness. Ive seen this look before and it always gets to me. Of course part of that is the context in which I find these graveside figurines. But the look remains even when I exclude the surroundings from the frame. Eerily, the lifelike expression is only evident in certain camera angles. Even a minor shift of camera position can wipe away all of the nuance. It reminds me of those trick 3D drawings where there's a hidden image. It's revealed only if you look at them a certain way and somehow blur your vision. I never was any good at those.
Yes the sky was beautiful for a photographer just before the hailstorm, but after some shots we have to walk back to the car about 20 minutes. That was not a pleasure, that can I say..
The windmill complex of Kinderdijk represents the courageous fight of the Dutch against the sea level. For many years, the windmills of Kinderdijk kept the land, which was continually threatened by floods and soil compaction, dry.
The Alblasserwaard – once an untamed and wet peatland – was eventually inhabited by humans, who built windmills in the area to drain the water. Besides Kinderdijk and its 19 iconic windmills, you can also visit the villages of Streefkerk and Oud-Alblas during your cycle trip. Cycle along canals and small rivers, take the ferry and enjoy the impressive views and charming farmhouses.
Late afternoon quick detour to do another small session here. Every time I come it is different. The mode and ambiance continually change.
The water over the Weir varies with the amount of rain in the hills behind it. Sometimes there is heaps other times barely a trickle. The ferns are very calming and at this time of year new fronds are growing.
Midnight Blue At New England's Rising Star. Hartford Union Station in Hartford, Connecticut was built in 1889 and has continually served the passengers of the region since, subsequently being added to National Register of Historic Places since 1975. On its first revenue run leading after coming to Springfield, Massachusetts the night before with train 146, AMTK 100 leads Train 157 from Springfield, Massachusetts to New Haven, Connecticut on the morning of Sunday, May 16, 2021. In New Haven, it will be removed and replaced by an electric motor that will continue the train's journey to Washignton D.C. The engine was painted midnight blue as part of the 50th Anniversary Commemorative Painted Locomotive Program to celebrate "the dedication and commitment of our employees to moving people around the clock and across the nation."

This two month old baby Rhino had lots of energy. He ran around continually and kept trying to fight with an older sibling.
This male continually manifested his authority to the other eagles around, a truly majestic and beautiful bird.
Can you believe this!...whoa...I was out at Ft.Desoto and this was the afterglow of the sun setting. Right before our very eyes this sight gradually unfolded in the sky. Everyone who was on the beach just stood still...we were in awe. ~Check this out on black : ) ~
As I was in the process of posting this picture this one song was pouring through my mind and here is IL DIVO to sing it:

Have a great weekend! And I am planning on it myself! You all are awesome!
Since my daughter is now on summer break I have been taking time daily to work on some other hobbies in addition to photography. I have tried some watercolor painting and am back to practicing piano. My youngest daughter has been playing less than a year and has surpassed my abilities but I am okay with that. I'll never be able to play as fast as she can as my fingers are not as nimble nor do I learn as quickly. I think that Jazzercise has helped my brain so that it is easier than it was when I first was starting to learn about 10 years ago. I hated that I couldn't get my hands to move properly and was embarrassed and would cry out of frustration, it is a terrible pattern that has repeated throughout my life.
Photographing snails has taught me patience, I have to wait for the snail to move at their own pace and then I have to continually adjust. It has taught me tolerance, I used to be annoyed and disgusted to have them in my garden but it is easier to appreciate their grace and strength when they are my models. They have helped my creativity, when I have self-imposed limits as to what I can shoot it triggers my imagination. Finally, I have learned acceptance and forgiveness for myself and others, there are days when I try and come up short but there is always tomorrow to try again.
Could also be a Sparrowhawk. Not sure. This bird continually outsmarts me by flying off long before I see it. This time it few into a tree with lots of dead branches obscuring the bird. By using a mix of MF and AF I managed to focus through the branches and got a sharp shot of the eye.
The contrast of light was to good to not stop my car.
I must apologise for my continual lack of activity on Flickr please forgive me.
This water is marked on the maps as Lochan Dubh and runs between Loch Eilt and what is more obviously Lochan Dubh a short distance away (before then becoming the River Ailort). Whatever its name, it was running full and fast after the recent heavy rain. And it was the rain that drove us away on this first visit - that and the fact the hills in the background were barely visible through the cloud. I thought that if the light was to change there may be a picture here and decided to revisit on our way home. We had to sit out more heavy rain on our return but determined to get something Iain and I headed back (leaving Russell 'paddling' around the boatshed. It was incredible how quickly the sky was changing from blue to almost black as the showers passed continually by, but the hills still remained unlit. Eventually though enough light broke through the clouds to illuminate the scene briefly and the shot was taken. I'm not entirely convinced with the result though and therefore this gets here mainly by virtue of persistence to take it.
(Of interest at this location is the West Highland Railway line {bridge/line just visible mid left} on which the Jacobite Steam Train runs - made famous by the Harry Potter films.)
This castle dates to 1454, the era of crusading Templar and Hospitallier Knights. The castle is home to the worlds oldest continually produced wine, Commandaria. Kolossi, Limassol, Cyprus
With fresh snow, continually changing misty conditions and a winter sunset you get one fantastic afternoon of photography in Kongsberg!

The nectar of tree tobacco (Nicotiana glauca) is composed of a particularly bitter combination of nicotine and anabasine – and yet hummingbirds continually visit this plant and are it's major pollinator in California. The mixture of chemicals in the nectar affects the hummingbird's memory*
What does a plant whose nectar is bitter do to make pollinators return to visit its flowers and thereby ensure the plant’s continued propagation? Apparently it may cause its pollinators to forget the bitter taste of the nectar.
As I came across this scene, several options to immortalize it sprang to mind. I could invert myself and the camera and thus obtain the right-side-up version of this White-breasted Nuthatch. Intriguing, but given my advanced age and continually decreasing agility, I decided against this. Another, equally important, reason against this approach was that I did not want anybody to get the idea that it would be a good thing to come up with a new helmet law for photographers out in the field. Yes, you are welcome. The other option, naturally, was to just take the shot and then invert the image in Lightroom or similar software. Much more appealing. Well, I did end up using this option but decided to leave things in their natural state, mostly for documentation purposes. The advantage here would be that if I ever decided to join a group, the image would be less likely to be rejected due to my obsessively fiddling with the settings in Lightroom. This just recently happened to a bird photographer Down Under and has been weighing heavily on my mind ever since :-)
Beautiful area of the Riaza river, a few hundred meters from the town of Riaza, in the province of Segovia, Spain.
The river itself is born a few kilometers south of this place, but shortly after the rainy season begins, the flow is already appreciable in this beautiful corner, as seen in the photo.
Not far from here, 1.3 km to the north is "La Charca" (Eng: "The Pond"), the place where a few decades ago the people of the town and the tourists who temporarily resided in the town bathed and get together. A small wall had been built that partially retained the water from the river, but that was continually renewed, maintaining a certainly "cool" temperature.
In 1975 the municipal swimming pool was inaugurated and "La Charca" stopped being used, although now the mayor of the town wants to rehabilitate "La Charca" again.

PUENTE SOBRE EL RIO RIAZA, 2022
Preciosa zona del río Riaza, a pocos cientros de metros del pueblo de Riaza, en la provincia de Segovia, España.
El propio río nace a pocos kilómetros al sur de este lugar, pero a poco que comience la temporada de lluvias, el caudal ya es apreciable en este bello rincón, como se ve en la foto.
No lejos de aquí, a 1,3 km al norte se encuentra "La Charca", el lugar donde hace unas décadas se bañaba y se reunía la gente del pueblo y los turistas que residía temporalmente en el pueblo. Se había construido un pequeño muro que retenía parcialmente el agua del río, pero que se renovaba contínuamente, manteniendo una temperatura ciertamente "fresquita".
En 1975 se inauguró la piscina municipal y "La Charca" dejó de usarse, aunque ahora el alcalde de la villa quiere rehabilitar de nuevo "La Charca".
