*Hit "L" to make it big!*
I then positioned myself so I could see their Christmas tree in the background. Now, my Mom has the world's ugliest and skinniest fake tree. So it was hard to get all of the lights in the shot, but I did ok! This is Mommom. My Mommom, Cooper's great grandmother. And from what I believe is the last count, the great grandmother to 27 kids. Read that again, not grandmother, GREAT grandmother to 27, that's 2-7 kids!!!
Mommom helped raise me and is that special lady in my life. She's the best.

Does the background look familiar? Yep, nearly the same position as last week's shot with my parents. This time, it was at night and under poor lighting conditions.
The 5d classic is an old camera and old technology by today's standards. But it does a great job up to ISO 1600. Remember, ISO is basically the camera's sensitivity to light. So the higher the ISO means you may be able 'add' light. And being indoors means you need to bump up your ISO in order to properly expose the picture.
Cooper: Week 29/52 -
*Hit L to make it big*
This picture is nothing fancy, no special setups. Just a first - Cooper's first Halloween parade at daycare. He has his superman costume on but his bib and sweats are covering it up. He had no clue but it was cute. All the teacher's bring the infant room kids out in the cribs and stroll them through the parking lot. Then the bigger kids come out and walk through the line of parents.
I felt really old there with my camera taking pictures of my kid in his first parade! Haha

Again, nothing special here. I had to quickly lean into his crib to get a picture of him. I called out his name and he looked up. I was lucky to have the sun being blocked and giving me nice even light.
The Cooper's Hawk is the most widespread of the three North American accipiters. Females are up to one third larger than males, one of the largest sexual dimorphism size differences of any hawk. Adults have solid gray upperparts, barred with reddish-brown. Their long tails are barred gray and black, rounded at the ends, with a white band at the tips. Their eyes are red. Immature birds are brown above with brown streaking on their white underparts; they have yellow eyes.

Family : Calycanthaceae/Idiospermaceae
Idiospermum australiense is the most famous of the primitive North Queensland rainforest plants having been considered extinct until it was found again just south of Cairns at Harvey Creek. It has been called the Green Dinasaur Tree or otherwise,Ribbonwood.
It belongs to an ancient 120 million year old family of plants only previously known from fossils.
The fruit is very large, as big as a tennis ball and toxic to birds and animals. It is brown in colour and descibed as a woody nut by Cooper.
It is believed however that the seeds were dispersed by extinct animals and birds. The tree produces fruit with some interesting characteristics.
All modern flowering plants produce seeds which have either one seed leaf (monocots) or two seed leaves (dicots) but the seeds of the Idiospermum can have between 2 to 6 seed leaves! Normally seeds will germinate and send up a single shoot but the Ribbonwood can sprout more than one shoot per seed. The fruit is large at 80mm ( 3 inches) and globular, splitting into four segments on the ground.
The spirally arranged flowers can range in colour from white or cream aging to pink, red or orange and are fragrant.
The fruit contain alkaloids which can disrupt nerve transmission to the brain but science is working on medicinal uses for its products.
This rare species is only found from Harvey Creek to the Daintree River and from the Mt Bellenden Kerr Range to the foothills of Mt Bartle Frere in lowland rainforest up to 260m altitude.

Text of a comment by S Glenum on one of my previous images of this species.
"I can clarify the history of discovery/rediscovery a bit. Originally first discovered by timber cutters near a small creek (Harvey Creek) south of Cairns late 1890s and collected by the Forestry botanist of the time it was passed on to German tropical botanist Ludwig Diels, who examined the specimens and placed the species into the family Calycanthaceae. When Diels ventured to Harvey Creek in early 1900s the tree had been cleared for pasture and presumed extinct. Early in 1970s Johnny Nichols a farmer in the area near Hutchinson Hill north of the Daintree River, reported cattle poisoning to the local vet. An autopsy by the vet found strange seeds in the stomach of the cattle and were passed on to CSIRO and Qld Forestry botanists. Searches of the area and identification of the tree was made in 1971 by botanist Stan Blake, who went on to re-classify Idiospermum into the family Idiospermaceae. The stronghold of the population is at Noah Creek, a noted centre of endemism, just north of the original rediscovery area. Further surveys in the original Harvey Creek area south of Cairns has also identified Idiospermum in this area too, a disjunct population. There is in fact an individual immediately beside the Bruce Highway at the Harvey Creek bridge crossing south of Cairns. The species is actually very common in some areas of the lowland Daintree in the Hutchinson Creek, Cooper Creek, Noah and Oliver Creek catchments, and also in the Harvey Creek/Russell River catchment south of Cairns."

Tribute to my dear artist friend
BARBARA COOPER
My favorite artist, and dearest friend, BARBARA COOPER, ended her suffering back in 2007.
BC was a wonderful artist. I collected many of her works and have quite a few of her paintings in my apartments. It always seems that she is right there with me for I see her in her paintings.
BC is the person who gave me the cool FRENCH-ENGLISH dictionary with the hidden story inside. Somehow her guides, knew that of all her friends, it would be ADDA who would find that incredible story. I will always be grateful for that tremendously generous gift.
Adda was one of the first collectors of her incredible paintings, as well, as an advisor to her first venture into selling her paintings. (Ask more MONEY, was my advice! hahaha)
I was able to connect her with the folks at VISUAL AID who welcomed her in their arms. They provided her with vouchers for art supplies and wonderful heartfelt support.
BC was collected by many people in the BAY AREA. She won several awards and was featured in several art shows in Marin.
Every year BC contributed some of her art works to benefit VISUAL AID and other organizations.
She was deeply loved and appreciated by her friends and her art loving admirers.
my friend STEVIE passed away last week, (MAY 2013) and his sister has distributed some of his items. STEVIE also loved BC a lot and he had a huge collection of BC (Barbara Cooper) paintings. Most of the BC paintings went to me, which opened a flood of tears...remembrance of two friends who are no doubt parting and painting on another level....
Miss you my dear artist pal BC and I miss my cherished friend STEVIE...

For anyone who has experienced this building in the winter, the organic abstraction is apparent. The pines make for a striking gothic entrance that becomes realized as the frame of the building comes in to view and overtakes the mass
thanks for reading.....jhe
Had an absolute blast yesterday at Tartan Tarmacs Big Day Oot. Unfortunately the weather was rubbish in the end but didn't ruin the opportunity to see and photograph some amazing cars. To my surprise, I managed to get some decent shots of the cars on the track. Rolling/Panning shots have never been my strong point but I was happy with the outcome despite the miserable weather.

Photographed at the VSCC's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Donington Park in May 2001. It's not listed in the programme of the event, but looks like one of the cars campaigned by Guglielmo Dei's Scuderia Centro Sud in 1959 and 1960.
