I didn't see Kanga for two weeks, but boy did she grow! She needs to put on weight to survive the cold days, but it's still amazing how fast it goes (Squirrels-2020-8704.jpg)
Soon these bags will be heavy laden with an amazing growth of these delicate shrooms. A mist fills the room, creating an eerie feeling along with the proper conditions for healthy growth. The king oyster and blue oyster varities are grown in a similar manner.
According to my son, mushrooms are famous for picking up toxins in their environment so eating organic varities is an excellent choice.
He sells them to local restaurants and at several farmer's markets.
As I let the sunflowers grow where they will, I've been slow to mow the backyard for fear I ruin the sunflower show.

This image is from a shoot I did in London last month and it's perfect for this idea I have had that I have been wanting to do for such a long time now. Its about growing in to the life we live after going through big changes. In a way its about feeling a little more rooted because big changes make you feel like a plant thats been taken out of its pot or pulled up from the soil. Much as we complain about the sameness of our lives there is a comfort in sameness that we don't appreciate until its gone. For me to create my work I need sameness. I need the routine of sitting down every day to work. I can't work if I'm upset or too happy!! Things have to feel balanced for me to create and I guess this image portrays that I am feeling a little more rooted and balanced in my life right now and I'm loving the sameness of everyday more than ever since I have seen the other side of that coin in my past. Im excited about what the future holds but not so excited that I cant work lol. I'm holding a workshop in the morning in Dublin and I have plans for the next few months which will keep me busy. Have a lovely weekend everyone and happy shooting ;-)

I was excited to see the scattered clouds as I headed to the lakefront but once I arrived, the only clouds in the sky had shifted to the north. Hence, a little different look from North Point.
As an empty string waits to back in, a loaded coal train pumps out of the loading area at Sandaoling.
Some of the drivers seemed to be putting on quite the show for us and the growing numbers of locals and foreigners coming to witness the last of steam in China. A brief piece in the China Daily online while we were there mentioned the end of steam will come to Sandoling this year.

Saar and Sammy are growing up quickly. They make a wonderful pair and they get along very well when they play or lie together. They are sisters, but the differences between them are beginning to show as well, both in appearance and character. Their relationship with Pip is getting better too.

Growing old can make simple things challenging. Many people think aging is a linear process but your body tells a different story. New research: www.cnn.com/2024/08/20/health/dramatic-human-aging-scli-i...
This photo is inspired by one of my all-time favorite artists, Julia Fullerton-Batten.
These last few days have been hectic for me, but so, so good. I had my show opening which was a success! Thanks to all of you who came out :-)
And I spent the last two days on a photo excursion with my friend Christine, who you know from Flickr. She flew out here for my show opening and then we went on many adventures, including many lies to get done what we needed to do, so I'm pretty sure she thinks I'm a chronic liar after fibbing to the police officer and the people at the craft store.
And last but not least, today I am running off to do my first television interview! I'm a bit nervous but excited as well!
Oh and just to note, there is no implied "abortion" theme here. My thoughts behind this were to depict a young girl who wants to grow up faster than she is, and so she essentially makes herself menstruate for the first time.

Growing on a conifer stump. There were lots more. Caps 3cms. I don't think these are Sulphur Tuft. We saw lots of Sulphur Tuft on this walk, all of them yellow with knobblier caps.
We had a pretty good fungi foray today. Must have found thirty species at least.
A couple of Pheasant flew in front of us,we also saw. Rabbit, Squirrel lots of Wood Pigeons and a huge flock of Jackdaws.

day 181
The two year anniversary of me joining flickr and tumblr quietly occurred last week without even my remembering. The power of the internet is astounding; my life has changed forever because of those two websites. They opened my eyes to the world of photography and art in ways which I never knew existed, and even though I'm not as social on flickr as I used to be or should be, it and tumblr will always hold a special place in my heart.
also, I'm about to hit 20,000 views on my photostream. Wow. Thank you all so much.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place: and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead: Short days ago,
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved: and now we lie
In Flanders fields!
Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you, from failing hands, we throw
The torch: be yours to hold it high
If ye break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields
--Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae 1915
101 years old but still so meaningful.
Nah, I leave that to the others!

We planted three small perennial plants of Physalis alkekengi, (aka bladder cherry, Chinese lantern, Japanese-lantern, strawberry, groundcherry, or winter cherry). I love the cheery orangish lantern-shaped paper-like pod or husk around each bright round seed.
Now we have new plants in addition to those we planted last fall. A fun photo from this morning, before I ship the rental Sigma 35mm f/1.4 lens back to lensrentals.com.
Elbow tripod belly shot.
And what lens shall I rent next?
