For the flowers are great blessings.
For the flowers have their angels, even the words of God’s creation.
For the flower glorifies God and the root parries the adversary.
For there is a language of flowers.
For the flowers are peculiarly the poetry of Christ.
-Christopher Smart (from Benjamin Brittens' 'Rejoice Ine The Lamb'

I love the colors of spring. It's the little details that make me reach for the camera. The yellow background comes from a flowering Forsythia.

Stationery for Macro Mondays.
Crayons bought for Oliver, lit from below with fairy lights, and above with a torch.
Had to be a rainbow, as we've had so much rain recently...
2" maximum width.
Unryu paper is also known as mulberry paper. Unryu is lightweight and translucent enough for light to shine through it highlighting the fibers that are embued in it. I fell back on the two origami creatures I know how to fold to highlight the fibers.
For February Alphabet Fun Month.
Foothills around Mount Brooks, the Alaska Range. They are so unique and unmistakably as old as time. This is a place I revisit 2-3 times a year. It definitely has a hold on my heart.
Sadly, there were landslides during the summer rains and the mountain road is unstable in several areas.

Part of an instrumental song by my favorite band, Opeth. From their album "Deliverance".
I stacked 2 ND110 filters on my lens for this, notice the sunspots?
I thought it was so neat to see the Sun up close and personal like this!
Over the ~10mins of filming this some clouds rolled in, I thought the music matched the scene pretty well.... What do you think?

Sorry for the out of focus contribution this week. My camera started having issues and this is the best we could get whilst trying to figure that out.
I have big plans for the coming week's photo though! Hope I can pull it off!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Turkey Day with family and friends.
For Macro Mondays.
This week's theme: Curves
HMM
I looked and looked for my French Curves but cannot find them so I was about to give up when I noticed the pattern on our shower curtain has lots of swoopy curves so took a few close up shots and chose this one.
There's always something that can be photographed.
Jo and I visited my parents last month. This was Jo's 2nd visit and she can remember a lot more details this time. She's been asking about her grandma everyday since we came back to the U.S. Like, what time is in Jakarta now? Is grandma sleeping? Did grandma cook for you when you were little? What is grandma doing now? I think grandma is praying for me. And the list could go on.... seriously. LOL.
My mom has been going through a lot. And I really mean a lot. So this one is for her, because we all love her. Just they way she is.
Have a great week to y'all!

so I was aiming for a reflection shot (for the 12 mths theme) in the puddle with Biscuit, somehow it didn't happen, I wasn't thinking properly I'd say ;-)
anyway, thought this was pretty :-)
Jumping for Joy.
On Saturday 6th August 2016 Liverpool celebrated the ‘Liverpool Loves 2016’ Festival along the waterfront by the Pier Head. Andy Rouse (another Flickrite) and I stumbled across this festival by accident, as we both live around the Manchester area we had decided to pay Liverpool a visit to take a few pictures of the city and to see the Beatles statue situated near the Liver Building. It was a brilliant day, the mood was fantastic and the humour was, what all Scousers are about. On our travels I spotted this young lady obviously enjoying herself having her picture taken by the side of Mann Island while her friend looked on. I only managed to catch her last leap in the air and then they disappeared before I could reach them and speak to her. So thank you young lady whoever you are for giving me a photo I really like. Hope you do too.

Just as breakfast for the pink Galahs was winding down, we heard the distinct "Ah Ah" of a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo. In no time "Snowy", our usual single wild Cocky arrived and as we always have a plate of Sunflower seeds ready to go, he was happy to come down and have some breakfast of his own. For once, he wasn't harassed by the local Noisy Miners. He had a good feed and then as always, with a few more "Ah Ah's" of thanks, off he went. He doesn't come all that regularly these days so it was wonderful to see this most beautiful Australian native bird.
Now there is one strange thing about this shot. I raced in to get my Nikon D850 as it has the longer 28-300 lens on it. Seemingly all had gone well until I popped the lens cap on and was putting it away in my bag when I heard this ominous glassy rattle. Oh no...what could that be? So I opened it up again to find the UV filter that sits of course in front of the front element of the lens smashed to bits. Somehow, and despite this mysterious breakage (as I haven't used that camera for a while and it is packed in an excellent shock absorbing camera bag) the shot wasn't too bad but we had no idea how the breakage had occurred. In the end I gently unscrewed the filter and smashed glass and cleaned it away to find no damage to the lens. So now back to the camera store for another filter! Luckily UV's have saved me a couple of times, in fact the last one was on this very same camera and lens and also ended up smashed when the bus we were on took off before we were seated and the camera hit head on with the metal handrail of a seat. And yes, I was compensated for that one!

...it's also for 'bloody damp, grey and miserable' which is our weather pattern at the moment and Bakewell, where I took the pic.
For Matthias - because he said that I should upload more photos on Flickr.
I moved to the coast, under a mountain
Swam in the ocean, slept on my own
At dawn I would watch the sun cut ribbons through the bay
I'd remember all the things my mother wrote
This photo has become the dutch book cover of "Dominantie" by Will Lavender.
Now, for the 3rd year running, we have another 3 young House Martins developing fast. These are the 3 egg shells found in the garden, 2 on the 29th May with an interesting fine pattern inside, (showing through the light) and the last one found 2 days later on 31st May with no patterning inside?
The shells are incredibly delicate and only the size of a small fingernail. Alas, since this photograph was taken, the birds have not visited again since 2020.

My dog sitting on the floor trying to catch some of the sunshine rays coming through the window.
For strobists: Canon 580EX on camera left. Triggered with a Canon ST-E2 infrared transmitter. Between the strobe and the model is a large self made translucent light panel (just out of the frame).
After watching the truly inspirational Dean Collins DVD's, I decided to make my own 2x1 meter light panel out of PVC tubing. I bought the translucent fabric from my camera store.

The Pile! This is how I store my converse - badly and without respect, all piled in a colourful heap :) I've been meaning to take a picture of The Pile for a while and finally got around to it today... heh.

This E9 was built for the Union Pacific railroad back in September 1955 as their UP 957 and served them well, until it's sale to Amtrak, where it would become their AMTK 430. Amtrak retired the classic streamliner in 1982 and it found it's way to Alaska working for the Alaska Railroad where it became their ARR 2401. ARR shed the locomotive and William Gardner of Northern Railcar Corporation picked it up along with ARR 2402 which was former Milwaukee Road 32A. The 2401 was patched and renumbered 10A to pinch hit for Mr. Gardner's Scenic Rail Dining train out of Brown Deer. After the Scenic Rail Dining venture went south, or west through divorce proceedings, Gardner was able to keep the 10A and 10C and they were painted into the beautiful crimson and gray scheme. A few years later, Mr Gardner added a E9 B unit to the consist, making it the finest looking executive set of locomotives around. After WATCO took control of the WSOR, they had no desire or need for the beautiful units and shed them. The 101 would go to the Friends of 261 where it wears a handsome pseudo Milwaukee Road scheme for their passenger operation. 102 ended up at the Illinois Railroad Museum where it remains in it's crimson and gray scheme. 103, former UP, AMTK, ARR 2401, WSOR 103, ended up as SLRG 103 on the Iowa Pacific. The 103 is now up for auction and the Friends of 261 would really like to add it to their collection to match the 32A. I can't get the link to work for donations there, but if interested go to friends of 261, so they can hopefully add this well maintained locomotive to their roster.

Rarely do I see Rooks posted online by wildlife photographers because they are common. But for me they are one of the most interesting birds we have in the UK.
Happy Birthday!

This reminds me of a scene from one of my all time favorite movies: Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds.
I'm guessing that they are nesting nearby and are searching for food on the beach below - which explains the bulk of the flock.
No birds were added to the photo or cloned - I however cloned away a bird or two that were partially in frame... Shame on me. ;)
As I was heading back home from the fields today, I saw my nephew at the landing platform again. He was wearing the old pilot overall he got from Cormac at the space port a while back. In fact, I’m not sure, if he’s ever taking it off again. Sometimes he even sleeps in it, I think. He was sitting there, eating cookies, drinking blue milk and looking at the setting twin suns. He’s been doing that, ever since his dad left to work on that transport ship. That was three years ago. I wonder, if he knows his dad isn’t coming back. He looks at the sky day and night and keeps saying he’s going to be a pilot one day. He’s a good boy. I know I will have to let him go some day and I hope the sky holds whatever he is looking for in it.

I always wondered how many young people like Luke Skywalker there are in the Star Wars galaxy, wishing to be a pilot and travel the universe.
After being sick for over two weeks, finally there's another upload. Originally, I wanted to participate in SHIPtember and post my first WIP today. However, I still have to work on my term paper and a lot of other things, so I fear I can call off SHIPtember once again. Anyways, I have a few more completed builds in store, so stay tuned.
