This image was shot late in the afternoon with a storm approaching. The rain on the surface of the pool can be seen and the light was perfectly mellowed and diffused by the clouds above.
I finally got the chance for a few nights this month on this wonderful target: A beautiful, if faint, emission nebula between Cepheus and Lacerta and probably my favourite nebula to date - The very small planetary nebula (bottom left) is Abell 79. Abell 79, "The 6 Nebula", is estimated to be at a distance of 5900 to 11,360 lys away. It measures approx 1 arc minute and is magnitude 15. Sh2-132 lies at an estimated distance of about 10,000-12,000 lys and is ca. 40 arc minutes in size. The image also contains the very small planetary nebula G101.5-00.6, which lies to the right of the blue O-III region.

Day 259 of the 365 Journey
So lately I’ve felt like a lot of my lighting was all the same. Seriously how many different way are there to light a subject. You pick a few and you perfect them right?! Well I guess that’s pretty easy if you only have a few various shots here and there, or if you have a constant stream of DIFFERENT clients. However when you’re the subject for 365 days it’s kind of difficult to make a few different lighting styles constantly look interesting. So a few weeks back I created the strip lights; which I love by the way. Today, I created the DIY Ring flash! That’s right; and I’m LOOOOOVING it! It’s a completely different kind of light! So far one of the biggest things that I like about it, is the fact that because the lighting is directly in front of me you can’t see ANY shadows.
I figured I’d take the first night with the new ring flash to do my own debut on NBC’s long time running T.V. show “Saturday Night Live”. I can’t believe the show has been on for 35 years.
I also figured it was about time that I just smiled in a shot! Hahaha.

OK so the road trip is over. I’m back home, I’ve showered, laundry is washing, the dogs are happy, the pool filters are clean, I’ve eaten REAL food (not junk) and I’m relaxed! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW….exhale. I’m all caught up on editing my 365 shot. Now I can go edit wedding pics!

Ok who doesn’t like the movie ELF? If I see ay hands raise up, I PROMISE you I’ll see to it that your name is forever etched onto the “NAUGHTY LIST”! Elf is one of my all time favorite Christmas movies. I think I’ve watched it about 5 times this Christmas season already. I’ve been dying to do this shot now for about two months. I borrowed the penguin and snowman from my friends Ryan and Cathy…You guys are awesome! Those little guys are gonna be famous I tell ya!
JUST a few ELF Quotes…..yea know I’m missing plenty!
“Buddy the elf, what’s your favorite color?”
“I'm a cotton-headed ninny-muggins”
"I'm sorry I ruined your lives, and crammed eleven cookies into the VCR.”
“Francisco! That's fun to say! Francisco. Frannncisco. Franciscooo.”
“You stink. You smell like beef and cheese! You don't smell like Santa.”
“Have you seen these toilets? They're GINORMOUS!”
“Watch out, the yellow ones don't stop!”
“The best way to spread Christmas Cheer, is singing loud for all to hear.”
“It's just like Santa's workshop! Except it smells like mushrooms... and everyone looks like they wanna hurt me.”
“We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup.”
“Is there sugar in that? THEN YES!”
“What about Santa's cookies? I suppose parents eat those too?”
“First we'll make snow angels for two hours, then we'll go ice skating, then we'll eat a whole roll of Tollhouse Cookie-dough as fast as we can, and then we'll snuggle.”
“I passed through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, through the sea of swirly twirly gum drops, and then I walked through the Lincoln Tunnel.”
“HEY! There's no singing' in the North Pole!”
“He's an angry elf.”

Lismore NSW has been devastated this year by record-breaking floods. Like other parts of the world, Australia is experiencing extreme weather - record falls of rain, temperature, wild fires etc.
The warnings made for many years by the global scientific community are manifesting before our very eyes and will likely grow in intensity.
Changing the way we live by reducing our carbon footprint, reducing waste is the only means we can address the root cause of these extreme changes.
Well, looks like you'll be seeing an awful lot of Suki this year! I've joined a group called 52 Weeks for Dogs: One picture a week of one dog till 2011. Here goes!

Wisdom includes the strength to listen.
It includes the maturity to know we cannot know everything, to realise that knowledge is an on-going process.
Wisdom itself is not a line we cross and are suddenly made wise, but rather a continuous gathering of insights, perceptions and information – all of which is changing.
Everything changes because change is all there is and to continue growing, we must change also.
What was once relevant or applicable in the past, may no longer be useful to us.
So we must watch and listen and be humble enough to embrace the limits of our understanding.
Wisdom is the opposite of imagining we know everything.
