Curly dock gets going early in the season and quickly outpaces other plants. In mild climates, its base may remain green year-round. Photo by Joni Blackburn.
SHE'S BACK! Back by popular demand...you liked her "Blue Coat Beauty" shots so much we decided to shoot together again and create some more hotness.
Do you like this lovely model's cute dress? Want to see what she is or isn't wearing underneath?
I curled Gaia's blonde wig today using a straightener and tinfoil xD
I burnt my fingers multiple times, but she's worth it.. Gaia really wanted to have curls again. But not the curls the original wig had (I straightened this wig before).
Joe drove us a long way to see this staircase - it's definitely worth the drive. The rest of the house was beautiful too. Ferme du Templiers.
Sunrise on Walnuthill. Another warm clear Winter day, rare for us, here in Oregon. An exposure merge of 4 images.
The cat has the right idea - why work -- just kick back, stretch out, and relax!
Artistic rendering of my cat Autumn in one of her favorite positions!

This was a fun waterfall to visit. I hiked out to this one for this shot about three years ago, and recently came across the slide while organizing my negatives. This is Curly Creek Falls somewhere in southern Washington, near Yale, Merwin and Swift reservoirs. I found this falls in a book on waterfalls in the Pacific Northwest, and was sufficiently convinced by the low-res black and white image in the book to make the drive out. When I got there, I found that the trail was easily hiked but led to a single vantage point that overlooked the falls from the top of a cliff. It was still impressive, but the single angle, distance and tree branches in the way made for less than ideal conditions for picture taking. Not one to be easily deterred I hiked back along the trail about a mile til the cliff became a very steep and muddy hillside and I managed to scramble down using tree branches and roots to keep myself from making the descent in a much quicker but less controlled fashion. Sounds like someplace you need to visit Ara. Anyway, I then hiked up the side of the stream, which really mostly was scrambling over wet and mossy boulders most of the way (very slow going) till I reached this spot directly across from the base of the falls. I think at that time I only had two lenses for my Nikon, my 50 and my 28mm. This shot was taken with my 28mm and Fuji Velvia 50, which I had not been shooting for long, but knew I loved. I had brought a rather cheap and flimsy tripod with me, thankfully because the slow film and lack of light in the canyon made for shutter speeds no faster than 1/15th or so. I made a number of exposures from down here before deciding that I really did not want to have to make the return trip in twilight. Plus I had seen a number of animal tracks along the few sandy portions of the bank, mostly deer but a few were certainly of the canine variety too, so did not want to stumble across anything in the dark. Hehe, as I was returning back downstream, hopping carefully from boulder to boulder, I reached one point where there was a nice smooth sandy stretch of earth between two boulders. Not really thinking much of it, I hopped down onto it, because sandy earth is almost always easier going than slick, mossy boulders, that is until I immediately sank up to my knees in the not-as-firm-as-it-looked sand. Lucky for me I still had plenty of forward momentum which carried me right up onto the next boulder. Not that the danger of the quicksand was too great, it could not have been terribly deep, but it was pretty cold. And I had my cameras to think about, of course. Nonetheless, it got my attention and gave me a good chuckle afterwards. Now I need to get back to this spot with pinhole. ;-)
this pretty little thing let me sit and watch her for ages!
it was quite fascinating being that close and watching her work, here i caught her rolling out her long tongue
i named her sue because of her curly tongue, but i don’t know if it’s a male or female? (but that’s ok as you can have a boy named sue!)
this is another shot from our group’s bughunt the other day, we are having another in a couple of weeks and details are here if anyone is interested? leeds wildlife flickr group
(PLEASE NO AWARDS OR PICTURES OR FLASHY BADGES)
Some shots were with this sculpture out of focus and the background /infinity in Focus and others like this one with the 2 .4 metre bit of steel in focus.just fooling around really at sunrise.
Summer days gone by, softly the memories dance in my head on a cold day.
Happy Waterfall Wednesday!
This falls pours into the Lewis River a few miles downriver of Lower Falls.
After I posted this I realized I took this on my Dad's birthday! Dad always took us camping on the Lewis River, all my growing up years. Thanks Dad!
