My friend came over for a play with the macro extension tubes. It was a grey day, but we took some photos of my hibiscus flowers.

For those who did not get to see this years Perseid Meteor shower , I give you this composite image, made up of over 40 photos taken with my @fujifilmx_us XH2 with a 16mm F1.4 lens. Each streak of light you see is one of the remnant’s from Comet 109P/ Swift-Tuttle. The meteors themselves selves are no large than a grain of sand, and hit the earths atmosphere at 133,200mph, as they pass over my family’s farm.

The body has death, but not the soul.
The body sleeps, the soul flies.
Death is at once
The end of the body's
Old journey
And the beginning of the soul's
New journey.
~~~~
Death is not the end.
Death can never be the end.
Death is the road.
Life is the traveler.
The soul is the guide.
~~~~
I know I will love death.
Why?
Because death too
Is God's creation
And because death reminds me
Of the existence of her sister:
Infinity's Life immortal.
~~~~
The soul-stirring words on death and the soul in this chapter of the Gita, let us recollect.
Even as man discards old clothes for the new ones, so the dweller in the body, the soul,
leaving aside the worn-out bodies, enters into new bodies.
The soul migrates from body to body.
Weapons cannot cleave it, nor fire consume it, nor water drench it, nor wind dry it.
This is the soul and this is what is meant by the existence of the soul.
by: Sri Chinmoy
Even when you're up close it's hard to read, but the place is for sale. Even looks to have a hookup for hydro, so can't be all bad.
This camera will always hold a special place for me. It was a gift from the parents of my last exchange student. It had been the mother's grandfather's camera. He had given it to the mom before she went on her own adventure as a youth to China. She had stopped using it and, upon seeing the vintage camera collection that I have been assembling when they visited us for Christmas two years ago, they shipped this to me from Denmark on their return home.
In an unrelated note, I am almost feeling myself again this morning and I have a burning imagination full of ideas for my next series that I want to start working on today. All of this is just in time, as my brother-in-law, his wife and our niece will be arriving tomorrow morning for a visit! It has been a year since we last saw them all; so we are very excited!
With my love to my Dad in the Hospital.
Thank you sooooo much for your hearty comments, all my friends.
TODAY is INTERNATIONAL PEACE DAY..
I cry for Peace and all the sadness. Still desperately trying to remain positive.

Irene Papas, music by Vangelis.
There are plenty of myths and legends behind the white rose. As one myth has it, the first rose on Earth was a white rose, and it miraculously transformed to other hues. The pure white rose was said to have been tainted by blood, making it red; and it was also made to blush from a kiss, making it pink.
Another myth came from the Ancient Greeks. It was said that roses were originally white until one day Aphrodite the Goddess of Love and Beauty pricked herself with the thorns of a rose. The blood that dripped from her finger turned the white roses red.
These myths indicate the loss of innocence, which is the absolute opposite of what the white rose symbolises – innocence and purity.
I seem to rescue a lot of flowers lately... due to the awful weather!
“When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.”
Georgia O'Keeffe quote (American Painter, 1887-1986)
MORE THAN EVER:
Lead and enjoy a good life, do and say things that enrich... and do not forget to tell the people close to you, how much you love them!
With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”

Lancashire is not known for flatland but around Ormskirk, Blackpool and Leyland there are great tracts of cropland. In some points one could easy think they are actually down south!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Lancashire_Coastal_Plain
The West Lancashire Coastal Plain is a large area in the south west of Lancashire, England.
The plain stretches from the Rimrose Valley in Seaforth, near Liverpool on the Mersey, to the south, to Preston on the Ribble, to the north. To the east, the plain is bounded by the foothills of the Pennines, while the western edge of the plain is separated from the sea by sand dunes. It is very flat, and much of it is only a few metres above sea level.
The terrain is mostly glacial in origin. The area has been inhabited since neolithic times, though large areas would have been marshy. The WWT Martin Mere near the villages of Holmeswood and Tarlscough gives a glimpse of what this area was like before reclamation. The mere was, until reclamation, the second largest body of fresh water, behind Windermere[1]. The Rivers Mersey, Alt and Ribble feed into the plain and the flood plains add to the flatness.
Large areas have been reclaimed and have a distinctive pattern of rectangular fields of dark peaty soil with deep drainage ditches. It is common to find the suffix "Moss" in the names of local places. As is usual in these types of areas, the settlements tend to be on any available hill, many formed by sandstone outcrops. The land is fertile and agriculturally very productive. Vegetable crops include potatoes, carrots, cabbages, brussels sprouts and onions.
The main market town for this area was Ormskirk. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal crosses the plain and, in summer, is used for irrigation, bringing water from the Pennines.[citation needed] The Trans Pennine Trail starts in Southport and crosses the plain following the Southport & Cheshire Lines Extension Railway to Aintree, before continuing towards Manchester and Hull. The historic Lathom House was built upon the plain.
I'm dedicating this image to my wonderful contact Krista Palmu. She wrote me a very nice testimonial yesterday...every word she wrote means so much to me. Thank you so much Krista! If you're not already a fan of Krista's stream, please go right now to see her beautiful work.
Krista and I have done some bonding over our very similar taste in photography...we both LOVE simple, uncluttered, minimal compositions. When I first arrived on the Flickr scene, I fell head over heels for her work. I'm always excited to see what she'll be uploading next. She has a wonderful knack for creating beautiful images with soft pastels and light, airy, featherlike moods. She's a must see here on Flickr!
I feel like a bad contact the past couple days...I've been falling behind on your streams. Sorry!! Will do my best to get around to you tonight!

Please do not add me as a contact without commenting or faving my photos. A non commenting contact is not what I desire. I will not follow a 'non commenter' and will delete contacts who don't comment. If you add me as a contact please feel free to make any thoughtful comment you wish. Faving a photo will be considered a comment. Thanks for understanding, sharing thoughts and ideas is what I would like to get out of flickr.
Made for Pretty Bald In Pink Photo Campaign
PBIP Photo Campaign www.flickr.com/groups/1738181@N25/
Saw this information on Skip Staheli's stream
According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), a woman in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer every three minutes, and every year approximately 50,000 die from this disease.
For this reason we would like to introduce the "Pretty Bald in Pink" Photo CAMPAIGN, running from October 1st till October 31st 2011.
This campaign will show some of the most important fashion figures on the grid going bald to show support for the cause.
The idea is not to raise money, but to raise conscience and awareness about a subject that concern us all, to some more direct than to others.
If you wish to take part of this campaign follow this simple steps.
1. Style yourself in any style you would like to portray. Groups, Couples or singles are accepted.
2. Get completely bald, we mean absolutely no hair on your head.
3. IM one of the photographers in the campaign and ask for an appointment and ask him/her for the pink ribbon and add it to the style you already created.
4. Pass the word around.
These campaign will run only on October, so make sure you make your appointment before the month is over.
To join the in-world group copy and paste this following link into Local Chat and join.

Receiving a testimonial from Anna was a big surprise, a great pleasure and honor as she is a photographer I really admire.
Her flower macro shots are soft, delicate, dreamy. Colors are always bright, outstanding, enhanced in their beauty. The feeling I get from her work is enchantment.
Thank you so much Anna for your appreaciation and being such an inspiring contact!
American Robins spend a good deal of time on the ground listening for their food. They're animated and fun to watch as they run between the newly emerging leaves with their heads cocked - listening/ watching/nibbling...listening/watching/nibbling.
They're also really curious and feisty little characters... which will often bring them right up to quietly sitting humans. :)
Even at the most popular places in the world, there is always something new waiting for us :)

portfolio and services:
For my previous visit to the Humber banks the Owls didn't make an appearance until the light was going, so this time I was pleased to see them perched up and hunting as soon as I arrived just after lunch. At least 4 birds, with noticeably different colouring, were quite active until dusk.
for my blog: www.pearlslaceandruffles.com
TUMBLR GIRLS/PEOPLE IN GENERAL PLEASE NOTE: If you are going to use my photographs on your blog I am okay with that, but ONLY if you credit back to my flickr account. Otherwise i'll report your blog to abuse@tumblr.com for image theft. Stealing is not cool, k? Thank you.
And if people continue to steal my photographs i'm going to start tagging my photos with nasty MS Paint neon green watermarks.
I have this really good friend named Jon. He has taught me a lot over the years and like all good friends there are things that Jon has said to me that have always stuck with me. These little jewels come up in my head every now and then and always make me smile when I think of them. Case in point, this photo.
I was out for a sunrise shoot around the opera house and was hoping that I might get some color in the sky with all these beautiful clouds. As I started to see just a hint of color(what you see in this photo is all I got) I rushed around circle quay trying to find the right composition. As I came around the corner I ran to the end of the dock and setup to take some shots. Its a shot I had taken earlier in the week so after I took my shots I started to crave something different. As I walked back the way I came I remembered something Jon had shared with me, his love of "bench" pictures! Being the dreamer that he is, his love for "benches" in pictures has always stuck with me. Maybe its because there is something magical about an empty bench, longing to be sat in, while enjoying the view of whats in front of it. I have have to admit I secretly started to like them to, these "bench" pictures, maybe for the same reason. Its the dreamer in both of us I guess and its why I think we get along so well as friends.
Now every time I'm on a photo adventure, I always try to remember to grab a "bench" photo for my friend Jon.....and maybe for myself too :)
How this shot was made:
Canon 5D mkII, Canon 70-200 f4L IS
70mm, ISO 50, F22, 1.2sec

Title: Friends for Life
My faithful companion on the sunrise shoots... Hudson
Year: 2014
Location: Lone Pine, Eyre Peninsula, South Australia.
Prompt: What inanimate object/thing/concept is something that you take for granted on a daily basis? What would someone who is not as fortunate as you are say about your “luck” to have such a thing in your life? Think about your blessings today – focus on opportunity/experience/something you have/do EVERYDAY that is an unforeseen blessing in your life.
My picture for the Joy of Luck group today represents two things. (besides being slightly cliche, sorry!) The first one is reading. Not just the ability to read, though I am grateful, but the access to any book I want, the time to read, the knowledge I gain, and very often the escape it gives me.
The other, which you cannot tell, is that this book is about the gorgeous mountains i live next to. I definitely take them for granted and do not get up in them as often as I should. I do know how lucky I am to live next to them, and need to make it more of a priority in our busy lives to escape there, decompress, and soak in a little nature. It is usually just what I need.
Loved to play marbles as a kid! Original watercolor 9x12. Reference photo on WetCanvas site.
