Today's Picture of the Day in The Glasgow Herald.
A couple of floats with some random flotsam, and the inevitable gull reflecting in Irvine harbour in beautiful crisp, calm weather last Sunday afternoon.

A perfect evening at the shores of the salty Salton Sea. Its nearly three hours away from San Diego but its a very different world altogether! There are several small beaches but we went to the farthest, the Bombay Beach. The small town is almost deserted as people could't take the stench of dead and decaying fish and sea life. The lake is evaporating and the salt content is rising yearly. Though very harsh, the fishes like tilapia do survive in large numbers and attract serious bird life. Perfect place for ornithologists!
We arrived a bit early and I started hunting for flocks of birds, flying low looking for fish. Took almost 800 shots. Will post a few more that came out nice in coming days!
Thanks for your likes and comments! I highly appreciate it!

An abstract image of a fishing float suspended in the air. The photo had no black point, so a simple Auto Levels adjustment gave an impressive result!

Me; self portrait.
Today was yet another shitty day. This entire week has been pretty bad actually. Not only is school getting on my final nerves, but my mom is proving herself to be more of a complete utter bitch than she was last month, and the month before that and the month before that...
This shot was taken on my stairs that lead down into my basement- a totally creepy place.
PS: If you have not noticed. I am not one for cutsie smiling full-of-laughter images.
Fact: I hate my feet. It is okay if you do too :P
FLICKRISTS! I MISS YOU GUYS SO MUCH. It's been FOREVER since I've uploaded, I'm sorry :'(
I'll start uploading again, I promise! Things have just been so crazy I haven't really been taking many pictures, it's so sad! I'm keeping up with your streams for the most part though :). Today I shot my cousin's "senior pictures", so I'll have plenty, plenty more to come!
As you can tell, I sorta haven't been doing the 52 week. I've just become so busy it's hard to keep up with it, and it was constantly hanging over my head. I may still do a few themes, but for the most part I think I'm done with it. :/ it was fun while it lasted though!
I hope you're all doing great! I miss you guys seriously so much :P
So I've had the pieces to make this photo for about six months. I was kind of saving it for myself for when someone made me feel a bit floaty.
Over time though I figured out I really don't want that at this point in time, and am fine being single and doing what I do. Unless someone comes and side swipes me, I won't be floating anytime soon.
Thason on the other hand has a girlfriend these days, and it's good to see him settle down with a nice girl. About the best thing that could happen to him really.
But like I said, I had this idea for a really really long time, and I kept telling certain couples I would use it for them, but never ended up doing it. I guess I kind of felt like the idea was special, and so the subject had to actually be floating together so to say. I'm that way with a lot of my photos, and I know you guys may enjoy my conceptual stuff, but I hope you understand sometimes how much thought and care I put into some of them. I hope you know that I like to make photos that mean something to myself and to others, and that I spend a lot of effort to make sure I say something with my images.
Anyhow,
Hope if you are floating or not you enjoy the photo.
If you are floating, good luck staying up there.
If you are not, join the club!
I don't see floatplanes very often and I think this is the only time I've seen a Twin Otter so configured.
At the time, it was operated by Vulcan, a company owned by the Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen (1953-2018). Up here in the Pacific North West a pair of floats would often be useful, and this aircraft was one of several various types that were in his fleet.

These are intended to prevent boats straying from the River Lee Navigation, which crosses the frame from left to right and continues south from here in a cut, into the Old River Lea over the weir in the centre of the frame. The "Old River Lea" now serves as an overflow channel for the navigation but presumably follows an earlier natural course of the river. Upstream from here (just south of Lea Bridge Road in Clapton) the navigation follows the natural course of the river for some distance but passes through other cuts further north.
The Ferris Wheel in Kemah, TX...shouldn't everybody have at least one ferris wheel shot on their stream?
The end of an overcast day. The 3rd plane had just come in. Float planes fly in and out of here every few minutes. It gets really busy, almost like YVR. This is the best way to get to the Sunshine Coast and points north.
