For Our Daily Challenge topic - 'Ritual.' Every morning early Wiki and I walk together down the street and into the field that surrounds where we live. We go at her speed and mostly I follow her and pause when she pauses, notice what see sees and every single day I see something new. We've been doing this for almost two years and there's a large set of photos in 'Walking With Wiki'
Today was the first time I laid down in the field to watch her. She thought it was all wrong and worried about me until I was up on my feet again.
my 352 nd image to make it into Explore. Many many thanks to everyone.
Barbara's wonderful group has been hibernating for a couple of weeks but she's invited me to take it on for a while. It is, in my opinion, the best, high quality colour group in FlickrLand so I'd better not screw it up :-) Excellent images with great use of colour and super composition - that's the aim.
The craving for colour is a natural necessity just as for water and fire. Colour is a raw material indispensable to life. At every era of his existence and his history, the human being has associated colour with his joys, his actions and his pleasures. (Frenand Leger)

I had to find something to thank Lynne for the beautiful testimonial she wrote for me. And since it's still Monday Blues, and I love hydrangeas (dead or alive), I thought I'd upload this for her.
Thanks so much Lynne, and anyone who doesn't already follow her stream, be sure and take a look!
It's actually snowing out again today, mixture of hail and snow.......I just know Spring is right around the corner though. Till then, I guess I'll just have my dead hydrangeas to look at.

For those not in the North West of England, we're taking a bit of a pasting from a storm at the moment. I've been relaxing, catching up on some jobs, listening to iTunes & watching a bit of TV. Apart from breakfast and evening meal, I've barely been out of my room.
Today, a bit stir crazy, I thought I'd have a wander down to the cafe on the corner. The weather appeared to have improved, the sun even broke through. By the time I'd put my jacket on and posed for a few photos, then got to the front door, the gale had returned and it was hammering it down with rain again! I stood there for a few moments while I decided that a coffee in my room will be fine!
February was lovely, March has been awful!

One of several attempts shooting with a jeweller's eye-piece as a lens. I'm sure there were more productive ways of spending an afternoon but I was curious and got interested ... one for Dee.
Taken a minute ago.
Nothing, just a fun shot... lol
It was a souvenir mug given by her.
Honestly, I don't like it because i don't like her !!!
Why I'm using it?
Well, I'm on diet and using it means losing my appetite.
I feel so bored and lazy right now.

tried asking him why he needed 3 bodies for the event but got a weird reaction/response....never did find out...not sure this guy has all his marbles there
I recently met, via Flickr, a wonderful woman from Australia that some of you already know. Her name is Bec :-) and yesterday she introduced an exceptional painting by her son, Micah. Micah is a six year old boy with profound autism. Micah's Masterpiece is indeed a masterpiece whether you regard the work as that from a boy with autism, from a six year old or simply from a human being.
Her post yesterday reminded me of a passage in a book I read recently titled The Reason I Jump by author Naoki Higashida. Naoki has high functioning autism. The book offers insight into a bewildering and perplexing condition. I have been waiting for the right moment to post this and Micah’s delightful work reminded me of Naoki’s exceptional work.
The following is an excerpt from his book:
Q45: Why do you enjoy going out for walks so much?
My guess is that lots of people with autism like walking, and I wonder if you can work out why. “Because walking makes you feel good?” “Because it’s great being out in the open air?” Both these replies are true, of course, but for me the number one reason is that us people with autism love the greenness of nature. Now you might be thinking, “Oh, is that all?” However, our fondness for nature is, I think, a little bit different from everyone else’s. I’m guessing that what touches you in nature is the beauty of the trees and the flowers and things. But to us people with special needs, nature is as important as our own lives. The reason is that when we look at nature, we receive a sort of permission to be alive in this world, and our entire bodies get recharged. However often we’re ignored and pushed away by other people, nature will always give us a good big hug, here inside our hearts.
The greenness of nature is the lives of plants and trees. Green is life. And that’s the reason we love to go out for walks.
Dream home in the sky! From the St. Albert Botanic Park - great evening with some Flickr friends!

Sorry for low activity, but I had to go to the sea yesterday. It is so hot in my apartment. I do everything I can to keep the sun and hot air outside, but I have 29 c indoors!!!!!!! :( Outside it is still 30-33 C.
I got a good advice from one of my friends on Flickr to have wet clothes on my body, and plastic on the floor .
Oh what I laughed when I read these tips. I saw in front of me a crazy old lady, with wet dresses, dropping water and leaving a wet mark on the floors where ever she walked.
But I took it a bit easier, have damp, non-dripping towels over my feet when sitting at the computer and a similar towel around the shoulders. This keeps me pretty cool.
Have a nice Friday!!

I want to dedicate this picture to my wonderful friend, Any

Apologies for another extended absence. Busy, busy.
I don't do many portraits, really; just helping out Chloe who was up against a yearbook deadline. Charlie came along to 'assist' and provide comic relief. His hour-long stand-up routine won me a bunch of genuine smiles.
Nikkor 135mm F2 DC: This got a little dreamy with the defocus control out of alignment by a few stops. Was that on purpose? Sure okay.
Wishing all a fine weekend ahead...
Not done this for a while. trying a dress on in store.
a couple of reasons for this. one, we don't have that many high street stores anymore
two, the ones we do have don't have much I like in them and three all the fuss around wo.en only spaces has taken the shine of a pleasant experience. due to never knowing when someone will kick off.
and bri gs me nicely to thos experience.
I walks into the changing room to be confronted with a massive .. "behave girls it's not what you think" a massive room with cubicles around the outside and big searing area in the centre with a very big mirror.
Well I go and get changed and hear someone else come in.
I take no notice other than to realise she has a friend with her.
anyway I decide I want to flaunt myself infront of the big mirror and so left my cubicle to go an use the mirror. as I look to my right I see a guy sitting down giving his partner advice on her outfit.
so what went through my head was. so much for women only safe spaces and in all truth it didn't matter that he was sat there because we all had our own changing area.
For this weeks Macro Mondays challenge - Musical instruments.
Photographed outdoors in natural light with dappled light from a tree casting nice out of focus shadows on a white wall in the background. Full frame (not cropped).
For a year of terrific fun, beauty, inspiration and friendship.
I hope you and your family are all in good health in these difficult times,
You have all been great and you have cheered me up tremendously! LOVE YOU.
(I hope my effort in creating a heart shape is somehow recognisable :-)
For you all, my FLICKR-friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, directly from the paradise:D
Back from my vacation, as you can imagine ......... busy.............
will try to visit you asap, and upload some of my "new adventure" photos!
BIG HUGS and LOVE!
- i've come to realize it'll never be the same, ever.
This is the last upload for today. I'm posting too many pictures a day; and it's getting annoying, i know. This picture has so much meaning, it basically symoblizes what's going on in my life right now. I'm so sick and tired of waiting for something that is never going to happen. I'm tired of waiting around for a miracle, you make me think that miracles aren't even real. Thanks. So from now on i'll just wait until you realize that what's done is done. If you want to start over, great. If you don't, see ya.
Love always,
Chantel Tilly Baggley
PS - I gotta' stop with all the vintage/soft photos. I'm so addicted.

We live close to the forest.
My favorite forest.
I introduce some photos taken in the last month.
Many of the trees already shed its leaves on the ground and the beautiful colors were loosing.
The forest were preparing for the winter.
And the forest in this season has the attractive touch.
我が家の近くに森があります。
わたしのお気に入りの森です。
先月歩いた際に撮影した写真を紹介します。
木々は既に多くの葉を落とし、美しい色は失われつつありました。
冬への準備をしているのですね。
この時期の森も趣きがあるものです。
Something fresh for the eyes!

Task in category B: Build a motorized vehicle and a little diorama with it.
Never actually build a car. So this one does not exist in reality. Just tried to build an oldtimer based on some fotos I found while researching cars from the 1920-1940.
The name is based on my great grandfathers company who was building vehicles.

For Mikaela a.k.a. mjmatt, a virtuoso photographer, who has always been a true friend and and inspiration...
"Maraming salamat po" ("Thank you very much!"), M.
:)
(Behind-the-scene: Always wanted to capture something for my dear friend, Mikaela. This morning offered me the best opportunity for it. It was a beautiful early morning, a perfect opener for the day. :)
For the basic setup, I placed the camera in front of the kitchen faucet, and opened the faucet until it dripped every second or so. To stop the motion as crisply as possible, I used an off camera flash as the main lighting: Because the flash is so very fast (1/10,000 of a second), it tends to freeze the motion of the water, making for a more crisp shot.
I wanted a background that would look good in black and white (i.e. something simple), so I printed "H2O" onto a piece of paper, placed behind the faucet. If you focus "through" the water, the drops act as a lens, allowing you to see the background through the water.
Once I had everything set up, it was mostly a matter of taking a bunch of shots (100 or so?) until I got the timing right, and a "pretty" looking drop.

Thank you to Sylvia for the beautiful testimonial. You really brightened my day with your sweet words. If you haven't seen Sylvia's photostream.....you should definitely check it out. She and I share one great Love and I think He is the one that made sure we became friends. :0)Thank you, Sylvia. You are a wonderful friend.
UP 8854 is holding on the main at the west end of Rocky. Why is it holding on the main? Because it will be meeting an eastbound oil train that is currently above it, on the main at Eisele (Clay). Usually, the first train to arrive for a meet would take the siding, but in this case, the eastbound will hold the siding at Rocky for the westbound Zephyr. The flag on UP 8854 has definitely seen better days.
