So cool to see this girl in person--I just love her, and am thrilled to get to give her a makeover!!
A little something for Halloween from Fayette, Ohio. This was an old film print which I had to process the daylights out of to see the detail as it was taken on a very dark day. I found another photo of it taken on a sunny summer day but it's from the side and doesn't show the nice detailing in the woodwork.
I found these notes on the earlier photo of the same house in an old album of abandoned Ohio pictures:

So this had to be some time after 1999.

This image of a feeding Chaffinch is from a walk along the River Isle in the morning after the blizzard had swept through. This bird is feeding on the Alder seeds that have been blown off the nearby trees. I'm lying on the snow just waiting for the birds to come close. For me, some of the most extreme conditions, I have encountered in Somerset. I just wish that I had taken a wider view to put this whole scene in context and the white landscape.
Really is best viewed large. :-)
I saw his young lady ziplining across a vast canyon in Hidalgo, Mexico and caught her as she shot past me at sunset

I was so surprised by how dense the fog was when I got close to my home. I couldn't see very far down the road.
The Hopewell Rocks, also called the Flowerpots Rocks or simply The Rocks, are rock formations caused by tidal erosion in The Hopewell Rocks Ocean Tidal Exploration Site in New Brunswick. They stand 40–70 feet tall.
They are located on the shores of the upper reaches of the Bay of Fundy at Hopewell Cape near the end of a series of Fundy coastal tourism hubs including Fundy National Park and the Fundy Trail. Due to the extreme tidal range of the Bay of Fundy, the base of the formations are covered in water twice a day. However, it is possible to view the formations from ground level at low tide.
As much as I photograph this neon, I needed a new view. 😍
And that Oly 45mm/1.8. *sigh* Such an amazing piece of glass.

The Gran Hotel occupies the extreme southern end of this side, and while it appears to be the same building as that which contains the Hotel Majestic, in reality it is separate. This building came into being as the "Mercantile Center" in 1899, built for Jose de Teresa, a merchant and ambassador of Mexico in Austria. At the end of the 19th century, Mexico made strides to modernize; one way of doing this was by introducing new building techniques. It was the first building built using the "Chicago" technique, using iron and concrete and was home to one of the first department stores in Mexico City. The interior of the hotel maintains most of the original decor created for when it was a department store. It is a decorated lavishly in the Art Nouveau style.

There are several bizarre geological formations spreading over a mile or so (0.85 mile / 1.36 km) near the village Mikrovalto, Kozanē County, west Macedonia, Greece. It took the formations thousands of years to be created mainly by corrosion of the surrounding ground, according to geology experts. Every single formation resembles a chimney (colloquially aka “bouharí”), so the entire area or geological park has got the toponym “Bouchária” (plural form of the bouchari word).
The formations look like pillars or columns with a height of 7–20 ft (2-6 m) approximately. They consist of a mixture of sand and clay etc. adhered together by ferrous oxides and silicon dioxide. There are slates (or slabs of schist) capping the high pillars.
Within the same park there are also “nochtária,” looking like numerous confluent pyramids. The nochtaria lack schist caps, but otherwise their composition is the same as the Boucharia's.
Warning: The phallus-shaped Bouchtaria have long been connected with the occult and several superstitions discouraging the local inhabitants from approaching them at night; tradition has it that the formations are fairies' or even demons' quarters or dwellings! Please mind your steps whilst walking the well-worn path!

For August, this is very high water flow there at Muddy Creek Falls in western Maryland. This fist evening there at the park I was only able to take this composition, as there was a strong breeze coming down the falls and mist was everywhere below making any shots impossible ... the lens would be misted over in less then a second. It's s shame as the late evening lighting there in Swallow Falls State Park was great.

This is by no means up to my quality standards. However it was interesting to see I could get a somewhat usable image from my Canon R6 mk ii at 1/100th f5.6 ISO 25600, using the Canon EF 500mm F4 mk I +1.4x teleconverter (mk ii). It took some noise reduction and sharpening of course. Thanks Topaz Photo AI.

when you start editing a pic but you don't keep track of what the workflow is and you then spot something awkward in the shot but you don't think you could repeat the workflow on a new shot so you just do an extreme crop. yeah. i should pay more attention to my ps jiggles.

Here I am again posting more photos when I never know how much time I will have to comment because of my nerve problem. Sorry about that my friends. I'm just trying to post as many of my archive photos as possible before I start taking new pictures. Please don't feel the need to comment on these. Thanks for everything! Have a nice weekend and blessed Easter. Those that have the Easter Bunny coming to their house don't eat too much candy all at once.
