Well here is the thing....after a month of back and forth of rebuilding my computer 3 separate times, I'm finally operational. I've not wanted to do any shooting if I couldn't work the shots, so this is another oldie I was experimenting on as I have been tracking down and re-loading all of my software.

Today I thought I'd break up my stream of normal landscapes and see how something a little different fares. I drove down to Chico looking for some autumn color in Bidwell Park. Chico is pretty well known for all of it's beautiful trees and we saw many on the way to the park through the city, but didn't find much where we ended up in the lower section. It does have a pretty unusual feature. The creek flowing through has a cement pool with a dam they can raise to fill the pool from the creek.
So the dam was up and the pool was covered with fall leaves slowly slipping by in the current. So I litterally laid down on the edge of the pool/creek with my 50mm f/1.8 and was able to get very close to this cluster of leaves.

Alittle windy Saturday here and this cigar (performance boat) boat decided to try a few waves on Lake Michigan and the lake took a good hit to them. They turned around came back in the channel and noticed water coming in fast. Went to the north side of the channel and jumped up on the walk way and the back of the boat sunk right there in about 20 ft. of water. Sunday a float boat (rescue boat) came in and put air bags on bottom and floated it up and they towed to Irish Marine. Expensive joy ride on Lake Michigan was quite costly to that owner.
I always enjoy visiting the EAA AirVenture Seaplane Base on Lake Winnebago five miles from Wittman Regional Airport. There are always lots of cool float planes moored there in the lagoon as well and planes arriving and departing. This is a de Havilland DHC-2 Mk.1 that is from Elkhart, IN.
Sailing between different points around Coron Island, Palawan province, Philippines. That day the camera was in shoot, shoot and shoot mode.

This huge hot air balloon surprised me. I could hear the pilot turning on the gas before I saw it, then it came up over the trees! I'm sure the folks in the basket were enjoying the view, but my high flying days are over!

Week 20
(Teleidoscope - Week #17 "Mythology")
So I said a couple weeks back that I had created a couple images for a Theory of Knowlegde project that describe language through the medium of music and tie those interpretations of the songs to a visual aid. I choose to display my own pictures, with the songs that inspired them. I loved being able to show my pictures and add the soundtrack to it while looking at them, but my favorite part was seeing others share their favorite songs and they're personal connection with each song.
This image was based on my good friend Serena's project :) Serena is one of the most original, open minded, free spirited, wanderlust filled, artistic, and just plain whimsical people I know. Her music project reflected exactly that, with her description and interpretation of the song "Float On" by Modest Mouse being my favorite. She said it reminded her of jellyfish, and how they just float along and let the water push them without care. The song reminds her that in tough times, everything will be ok and we'll continue to float on. I've included her music choices below :)
Frederic Chopin - Nocturne In E Flat Major, Op.9 No.2
~~~~~~~~
I also chose to do this image for the Teleidescope theme of "Mythology" because Medusa is another word for jellyfish, and they are scientifically catigorized in the Subphylum Medusozoa :)
Shall we float away all the way to the stars?

“Still, what I want in my life is to be willing to be dazzled -
to cast aside the weight of facts
and maybe even
to float a little
above this difficult world."
They say that "Art is the only way to run away without leaving home".
8 Years since doing my first 365, and that statement rings ever true! It feels so great to wake up in the morning with a plan and a purpose again! I've found the last few weeks that I would wake up and hazily judge whether it was a "bad day" (>order pizza) or a good day (>do some work). Now, it's a "when the hell do I find
time to do my 365 today" day! :D
I'm shooting a wedding in a couple of hours, and the reality of how time consuming 365 is hitting hard! Yesterday I managed to fit in dinner with a lovely friend and the gym AND 365 but weddings are a WHOLE NEW LEVEL GUYS
RIGHT enough typing - I must fly! ;) Pun totally intended
Some 100 amphibious vehicles from all around the world gathered in Amsterdam for a week of fun.
Almost every day they had a drive and float in the historic canals of Amsterdam, Utrecht and the surrounding areas.
As from 2025 this event will no longer be held in Amsterdam, as no vessels with an internal combustion engine will be allowed on the historic canals of Amsterdam.

Sea otters, whose numbers were once estimated at 150,000–300,000, were hunted extensively for their fur between 1741 and 1911, and the world population fell to 1,000–2,000 individuals living in a fraction of their historic range. A subsequent international ban on hunting, sea otter conservation efforts, and reintroduction programs into previously populated areas have contributed to numbers rebounding, and the species occupies about two-thirds of its former range.
