Marseille - Calanque de Sugiton

Le plongeon du pin

The Caspean tern zooms by and tucks into a dive when he sees his target prey. Many times they pull up if the fish dissapears but this time he is in for the dive. He came up empty though. Like a pellican they turn into an aerodynamic missile when they mean business.

Dive bombing the long grass

I suppose the ultimate would be to 'catch' the target in the photo at the same time

Never done it yet

But., as long as I can hold a camera I'll keep trying for that elusive shot

Recently I have been truly inspired by some true artists in here. The way they see things, their visions and how the things are executed by them are simply lovely. Within this piece, I tried to express the deepness that art can bring to us, the knowledge and content that it contains with it.

Anoice - Forever Sadness

This Black Phoebe was seen in the Countrywood/Bancroft neighborhood of Walnut Creek, California.

There are times that moving in so close to a flower, you lose sight of the over-all beauty of the thing. However, by diving into the center of this rhododendron flower, I discovered a whole new world.

The first snow is just around the corner, so a few thoughts of a wonderful summer are good :-)

Happy Slider Sunday

HSS!!

Some of my contacts wanted to know where Waterfall Park was. I put that together with AI. I figured everyone knew that. I got the inspiration from a waterfall park in Central Mexico. I took my then girl friend there thinking she would be impressed because we also stayed in the hotel next door. All she did was complain that it was too load to sleep. I went down to the front desk and had them switch room. We left the next day.

This image was put together with AI as well

So don't call me baby

Unless you mean it

And don't tell me you need me

If you don't believe it

So let me know the truth

Before I dive right into you...
