No doubt there will be a genuine rush of boats out into Moreton Bay by the end of the week. It'll be bedlam on the roads but with a fine four day Easter in the forecast, most of these mostly idle boats might get a workout. The owners will buy up big on seafood at Morgan's on the far wharf before casting off for more than a three hour cruise. Scarborough Marina, City of Moreton Bay (Redcliffe), South East Queensland.

Here in The South west of England we are getting off lightly as the storm largely passes north of us.
Storm Babet batters large parts of country.
A rare red weather alert issued by the Met Office warning of a "danger to life from fast flowing or deep floodwater" has been extended until midnight on Saturday.
More disruption is expected elsewhere across the UK, with amber warnings for wind and rain issued for parts of northern England, the Midlands and northern Wales until 6am on Saturday.
The Environment Agency has issued 150 flood warnings - in areas where flooding is expected - and 194 flood alerts, where flooding is possible.

Sometimes you hike up a mountain, get both feet soaked crossing a river, get lost, and then find that one waterfalll you had been looking for, only to get home and find that all your photos were terrible. You got skunked. Then other times, you are in just the right place, at just the right time, the batteries are full and the memory card is ready, and you get magic. There are some shoots when you come home with so many keepers that you feel spoiled! That was this shoot. I live in Oregon. I love the State, but I have to say, we are not the best when it comes to Christmas lights. Sorry, it's true. So, to get the full experience and we drove all the way out to Idaho, where they seem to get it right. This is Caldwell. This was actually about 3 years ago in Caldwell, but I got so many great images that I keep going back to that well for Christmas images.
In fact, I tried to shoot a different Christmas light image this year, but Oregon got me again. There is a covered bridge about an hour and half form where I live that gets a full Christmas decorating every year. I called the City to see when they would be up, she told me, so we headed out to shoot it. Well, I guess I got the info wrong, because there were no lights. So tried again the next weekend, only to find that the official lighting of the bridge was the next day. Oh Oregon. So about $150 in gas and 6 hours of my life would never get back, I still have no image of that bridge. If you want Christmas, go to Idaho.

"Getting up close to a particular shadow element is every bit as important as witnessing it and relating to it. This is often quite an emotionally rocky ride, especially given that we may find ourselves without our usual adult skills, at least for a time, because the wounded child in us has surfaced to such a degree that we are looking through those eyes and feeling those feelings. The key is to get as close as possible to that part of ourselves without getting lost in that old worldview, staying emotionally raw even as we name and illuminate what is occuring." -Robert Masters
The ocean moves in to cover what it left empty hours ago as a storm makes its final stand. A lone cloud hovers above the ocean poised and balanced for what will next arise.
High on a mountainous plateau we came across boiling/steaming mud pools at Hverir, a few kilometers before Mývatn lake when coming from the south east. You smell rotten eggs first before the red earth and steam become visible. The "troll" disappeared very quickly when it saw my camera :)
PS Is it just me or are other people getting heaps of faves from young women wanting me to visit their websites? If you are one of these women I will give you a block immediately and not visit you. Thanks

'Got me lifted, drifted higher than the ceiling
And ooh, baby, it's the ultimate feeling
You've got me lifted, feeling so gifted
Sugar, how you get so fly?'

now is the time to gather up and let your teammates know you are ready to play and spirits area running high for both teams, at this point, just before the game starts (the opening kickoff).
Sometimes when out on photography excursions, we just get lucky. I spotted this young white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) buck from a distance, and thought it might make for an interesting shot if I incorporated the gnarled, low-hanging branches of an ancient mesquite as a foreground element. I never expected that he would pass through in a pose that almost perfectly mimicked the shape of the branch.
. …A good look to try guys

I liked the way this tree appears to be pushing its way ahead of the pack in a show-off kind of way. Taken in Hillock Woods, Prices Risborough
So I get up this morning... have breakfast, do my thing... get dressed, put on lipstick, tie my hair back, etc... drive downtown, pay for my parking, walk to the office and... Surprise! Guess who's "not wanted on the voyage" today?
Well... it's not that they don't want me. Just that they don't need me. At least not for the time being. So... home again home again, lickety split.
I did this one in a hurry... and it shows! And... yeah, I know, lots of distracting background stuff... and the window's too bright... etc. etc. But hey... in all likelihood, I have to go back to the office soon. So I don't have much time to waste on these shenanigans. (Hmm... I seem to be channeling an elderly man today... for some reason... Next thing you know, I'll be referring to myself as a couple of whippersnappers!)
My buddy Jim Salge and I hiked to Victor Head to shoot the foliage. Unfortunately there is a tree right in the middle of the rock outcropping making it difficult to get a clean pano. So to get this shot: flic.kr/p/zyesAu we used our tripod as a camera boom. This is him getting his version of the shot.
"'It′s like you're my mirror (oh-oh)
My mirror staring back at me (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
I couldn′t get any bigger (oh-oh)
With anyone else beside me (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
And now it's clear as this promise
That we′re makin'
Two reflections into one
′Cause it's like you're my mirror (oh-oh)
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me"

A mid 90's NYS&W mixed bag of "yellow jackets" get under way with with a unit stone train at Jamesville, NY on a nice summer evening. The old DL&W freight station is looking for new life judging by the for sale sign, but eventually be tore down and become Syracuse Branch history.
I wanna make him really jealous, wanna make him feel bad
Oh, I wanna get him back
Cause then again, I really miss him, and it makes me real sad

Prickly pear cactus are hard to identify even while blooming, but I have taken pictures of this plant while blooming. My best guess is Texas prickly pear (Opuntia engelmannii var. lindheimeri).
My objective here was to get the points in tack sharp focus and have enough depth of field have the glochidia sharp with the texture of the pad.
All of a sudden from nice sunshine the clouds began to gather during my afternoon walk .... looks like I better start moving at pace and yes, it did rain!!
Stay Safe Everyone!
Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all!
This weeks Macro Monday theme is (Part of) My Daily Routine. When I was washing a small chopping board which has time rubber feet to stop it slipping when in use I decided that nothing gets more routine than that! This is the wet rubber feet!

Thanx for Viewin, Favin, and Commentin on my Stream!
The statue at the back is Fountain, but I've never seen water spouting from it. Not sure if it's an engineering / mechanical issue, or one of societal prudery, see the writer-up from the inner-web....
"If you haven't seen the series of bendy lamppost sculptures yourself, check them out on social media! The pieces, entitled Fountain and Get Drunk, Fall Down, are constantly popping up on social media.
Designed by NSCAD alums Chris Hanson and Hendrika Sonnenberg, Fountain shoots a stream of water into the harbour, as though relieving itself after a long night out. Not far away, Get Drunk, Fall Down features another lamppost slumped across the pier, while its concerned friend looks on.
The two displays are described as “nakedly honest portraits of unseemly behaviours that are often playing out on our own streets after dark.” Installed as a temporary display in 2013 after it appeared at Toronto’s Nuit Blanche, the displays made a big impression on the city, and have since become a permanent fixture on the Halifax waterfront.
For a city known for its lively nightlife, it seems fitting that the citizens and visitors of Halifax have identified so strongly with the debauchery depicted by these cheeky waterfront sculptures!"
Grizzly bears prefer to eat the fattiest parts of salmon that contain the most calories, including the skin, brain and eggs. Here, a grizzly bear, sitting in the river, holds a salmon between its claws, gets a firm grip on a piece of salmon skin with its teeth and pulls hard to remove the skin.

The light and color was wonderful when we visited North Lake west of Bishop, California. The above shot is a two image pan. The images used in the pan are single shots, unmodified in color or contrast. I did clone out a few fishermen on the far side of the lake but nothing else to obscure the natural beauty of the place. Stitching was performed with photomerge in CS5.
