golden sunlight
muted twilight
cicada crooning
sheer delight
feet dangling
head a-bobbing
ears listening
iPod humming
carefree slumber
no care, no wonder
hush... shush!
sweet surender
wake up tender
day's gone silent
a week's past.
Ahhhh
Monday's expectations...
(Behind-the-scene: Went to do some side-work today. As I was leaving the facility, I stopped and looked at the pot where I captured this. And then I turned and saw this! I knew exactly what I wanted. Dashed to the truck to fetch "Temple". Crouched very low, my right cheek almost brushing the ground. The sun was already setting, so. Perfect sweet light! Snap! Snap! Lens? Nikkor 105mm f2.8 VR. Have a great week ahead everyone!).
Foden of Sandbach marketed a range of high quality bus and coach models in the 1940s and 1950s. Foden chassis were very well built and used the popular Gardner engine, but the quality came at a high price and sales never reached expectations. Even so the coach, with its modern ‘tin front', was popular for a time especially in Cheshire and Lancashire.
Foden coach LMA 284 carries the last body by Lawton of Stoke, one of many short-lived bodybuilders around this time. It was delivered new to Coppenhall Coaches of Comberbach, near Sandbach, with a body by Wadham and was rebodied in 1954, being sold to Bullocks shortly afterwards. This 35-seater coach was withdrawn from service in 1974 and is on display in the Museum of Transport, Greater Manchester.

“You are most powerful when you are most silent. People never expect silence. They expect words, motion, defense, offense, back and forth. They expect to leap into the fray. They are ready, fists up, words hanging leaping from their mouths. Silence? No.”

Another shot from up in the hills of the Yorkshire Dales , it all mosts looks like the African Savannah
Today I visited Piopiotahi for the first time, and cruised the fjord - it is a fjord, being created by glaciers, opposed to a sound which is created by water - an experience which did not disappoint, and exceeded my slightly sceptical expectations of somewhere that bills its self as the 'eighth wonder of the world'.
For a place that measures its annual rainfall in metres - and hasn't been that far from reaching double digits on that scale either - we were incredibly lucky to reach it during 'drought' conditions. As we left this immense place that completely wrecks all perception of scale, the sky milked over with the approach of warm front, which will likely break the short-lived drought that we enjoyed.
Christmas time is the time of hopes and expectations. Cleo is hoping for lots of presents, preferably eatable presents, of course. As she can't write a wish list she is working on transmitting her wishes telepathically.
Cleo only agreed to pose for this Christmas picture under the condition that I respect her dignity and won't do anything "stupid" with her photo. I hope the result meets her approval. :)

I'd thought I'd already uploaded this image from election night 2016, Seattle.

The mongrel is an optimist. In yet another example of hope triumphing over experience, he waits patiently for a morsel of whatever is making the delicious aroma on the other side of that door. He sees the humans coming and going, mostly in a hurry, sometimes in pairs, but none offer him anything to eat. Sometimes being ignored is best, because he is usually greeted with a boot or a broom or sharply uttered tones, but the stomach is a powerful motivator, and he believes good things are yet to come.
Experiments in lighting and narration, and I built a new dumpster.

* See it in black. Or not. I don't care! Oh, and I was gonna go for some pedantic title like "Beams of Hope" or something silly like that, but opted against it.
From a recent trip down to northern California and then drive back to Seattle via highway 101 along the Oregon coast.
To this day one of my favorite Redwoods images is from my pal TJ Thorne, "Endor Redwoods" (500px.com/photo/52480544/endor-redwoods-by-tj-%22tj-thorn...) but I wanted to find my own comp at this location so I made the trip. I was hoping for some awesome conditions with dense fog and prime rhoddies.
Of course that wasn't the case! Probably a high pressure system off the coast because it was nothing but clear, blue skies and not a single day with fog. Either am or pm. And so, these were the best conditions I found. And I actually like this quite a bit!
