ABOUT RAINTINGS
Rainting is a word I coined describing a painterly effect, achieved by photographing the subject through glass that is being rained on, like a windshield or other. It achieves an oftentimes pretty or soft flowing effect, and sometimes other-worldly. It is usually creative, fun, and fluid, seldom harsh in my opinion. I have an album of them on Flickr. Rainting is already in "The Urban Dictionary" but I would like it to also be in a more sophisticated/educational type of dictionary. I started a public Flickr group of Raintings on New Year's Day 2020.
The more collegiate type of dictionaries say that the word has to actually be used by people before they're likely to publish it. So if you like the word and my idea, say it loud and say it clear and take a few Raintings and post them to my new group. Using my word and trying my new group are not inclusive of one another.
******************************************************************
This particular image has what I call a Faux Rainting effect. It wasn't actually raining; just a spray bottle of water on my truck window. I'll put it in my new Raintings group, but eventually I'll try to label the ones that didn't actually use *real* rain. The majority will be real rain, as that is what I used to take my beginning "Raintings" when hadn't yet thought of a name for what I described above. And that is why I rhymed my word of Rainting with Painting. My State of Oregon USA is known for lots of rain; so I shouldn't have to resort to Faux Rainting too often (grin).
******************************************************************
ABOUT LIGHTLINGS
Lightling is an even newer word I coined to name the odd little sort of anthropomorphic characters that sometimes appear in my images when doing a Rainting. They come in many sizes, shapes and colors and often times have what appear to be various facial expressions. In school we may have learned that a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square. Well Raintings can exist without Lightlings in the scene, but Lightlings cannot exist without a Rainting.

I hope you all have a beautiful Saturday! I will be gone most of the day today, so If I don't get to your photos this morning, I will tonight!

I have SERIOUS doubts that there are any dentists in the house that are willing to accept the challenge. Thereโs actually nothing to worry about as the alligator will merely grow a new tooth. The teeth can be replaced multiple times in their lives, so no need to be concerned about this well-being. The alligator is being studied for multiple reasons and one of those reasons is for their ability to regrow teeth. Would be nice if researchers can learn from them and apply it humans and have us regrow teeth. This is actually the same alligator that I posted a couple of days ago. I took the initial shots and then traveled up the bayou for about 20 minutes and then returned to find him with his mouth open and the tooth dangling by a bit of tissue. Photo captured on Horsepen bayou of this twelve-footer.

[163/365] Tagged.
Well, I have been tagged. Not once, not twice, notโฆwell a shitload of times and Iโm so sorry for the long delayโฆbut here goes.
First out to tag me was the amazing Ainsley Joseph which portraits and lighting skills are just mind blowing.
Second out was the lovely Karla Pippo which pictures are just packed with mood and feelings.
Third out was the incredible Daniel Schneider which must be one of the most creative guys on Flickr at the moment.
Forth out was the fantastic Will Steward which had a subscription on Explore for almost every picture in his project 365.
Please, go and check there streams outโฆyou will be amazed!

For many years I have tried to photograph this laneway but with little success mainly because of limited space and poor lighting.
On Monday I purchased a Voigtlander 15mm which is an ultra-wide-angle lens so I decided to give it a try within the alleyway and here is one of the images. The lens is fully manual so it it is not easy to use without introducing high levels of distortion. White balance was another major problem.
Walking down Essex Street East itโs easy to miss the entrance to this hidden laneway, but for those in the know it is a handy shortcut between Temple Bar and Dame Street.
If you look down the dark laneway beside the Dublin Theatre Festival Office and you will see original artwork by Dublin street artist Maser โIโd Rather Trust a Dealer on a Badly Lit Street Corner, than a Criminal in a Three Piece Suitโ.
If you are brave enough to walk down the lane you will see various items of street art and you will be surprised when this narrow lane opens out onto a small square, framed by the Olympia Theatre. Continue along the laneway by the side of the Olympia Theatre
and pass under the sign for Broganโs Bar, before Crampton Court opens out onto Dame Street.
Anna Doran, a Dublin Street Artist, tried to re-invent one end of the lane as โLove Laneโ. I have been a fan of Anna for a number of years ... ever since I saw her painted traffic control cabinet on Bolton Street. You can also some of her work on the walls of the "Hungry Mexican" restaurant in Bodkin's on Bolton Street.
Be aware that this laneway attracts some anti-social behaviour particularly in the lane on the Temple Bar side.
Love the Lanes is a joint initiative between Dublin City Council and the Temple Bar Company to pilot solutions and interventions to address issues in the laneways of Temple Bar. Over the years these lanes have fallen into disuse and have become magnets for anti-social behaviour. The stated goal is to reactivate these lanes for people to use and enjoy through creative intervention.
The project was launched on 21st March 2014 with an open call for new ideas. The response from the public was remarkable and shows that there is a real desire by the public to bring life back into the laneways in this historic part of the city. The main focus for the project was Adair and Bedford Lanes, Copper Alley and Crampton Court. 10 proposals were shortlisted and are being developed for implementation on the Laneways of Temple Bar with the support of residents and businesses.
A number of ideas were trialled in 2015 while others require financial investment and a longer timeline.
Parenting in progress.

I have tickets to a Charles Lloyd Concert at the Musical Instrument Museum. I am a member. I wanted to familiarize myself with the Museum before the concert so I toured it. It is an incredible treasure in my backyard. A target rich environment for photographers.
The sign reads:
Khong mon (gong chime)
Thailand, mid-20th c.
Bronze, wood, glass, cowskin
Typically played at Thai funerals,
these tuned gongs are mounted on a
frame decorated with the figure of a
thep kinnaree, a woman-swan hybrid
from Thai mythology.
MIM began with a vision to create a musical instrument museum that would be truly global. Realizing most musical museums featured historic, primarily Western classical instruments, MIMโs founder Bob Ulrich (then CEO of Target Corporation) was inspired to develop a new kind of museum that would focus on the kind of instruments played every day by people worldwide. A focus on the guest experience shaped every aspect of the museumโs development. From the beginning, our goal has been to deliver a musical experience that is enriching, inspiring, interesting, and fun.
Today, MIM has a collection of more than 7,500 instruments from more than 200 world countries and territories. The galleries reflect the rich diversity and history of many world cultures. But music and instruments also show us what we have in commonโa thought powerfully expressed in our motto, music is the language of the soul.
MIMโs immersive exhibits foster an appreciation of diverse cultures and the craftsmanship and traditions of instrument makers from the past to the present. A visit to MIM is also about experiencing the sensory nature of music and how it affects our emotions. Through state-of-the-art, interactive media, guests can see the instruments, hear their sounds, and observe them being played in their original contexts.

All 4 versions of this have the same basic story. I was having one of those liquid breakfast drinks, but they can be a little bland and of fairly uninspiring color. In the past, not very long past, because I've only been having these breakfast drinks for a few months; I have added Strawberry-Watermelon flavor drops which also have some red coloring. I added some and put the cap back on nice and snug. I shook the breakfast drink up really good and opened it to see if it seemed more red than before. I didn't think I had added quite enough drops; so, I added little bit more, and I forgot to put the lid back on the second time. I shook it very thoroughly, on my blouse, my cell phone, my desktop, and the lower part of my computer monitor. Eegads! What a mess! I decided to try to make art out of it.

TGIF! Have a great weekend. I will comment when I get home from work. Geesh, I feel like a broken record saying that every day. LOL! Have a good one!
In a beautiful und very good italian restaurant on top of the old arena at the "Placa Espanya" in Barcelona.
Last week I have been out from Pullman to Seattle for vacation and some business. I checked for the forecasting weather and picked a good day to take some shots of the Seattle downtown from the infamous bridge. That night there are over 10 photographers there, and the sunset have not disappointed anyone there. It was wonderful, but not long-lasting. That's the sad part of a sunset. On the bright side, I managed to capture several magic pics. I will be posting them each day.
This is the first one, with a ultra wide lens, it is a "must-have" shot if you got a capable ultra-wide lens. Enjoy and feel free to leave any comment.
Have a great weekend everyone.

I just managed to get two shots of this bunny before it slipped out of view through a typical Cumbrian stone wall.

I have a phone call into ODOT (Oregon Department of Transportation) to find out the correct name for the black things that look like stabilizers. ODOT called me back, which was a nice surprise, and the lady said they don't really have a special name; they just call them heavy rubber bases.
For Dave C. and other Flickr friends too, I think the *soul of this is that it was such an in intriguing sight to see. I had to stop and take pictures. Besides I felt compelled to get orange things for the Tuesday is Orange Day type groups.

Having not used my alloted time up, I negotiated a trip home via the 'scenic route' instead of I70, which I figured would put me in contention for a grainer with solid BNSF power at West Newton. 10 mins after arrival it was duly nailed, and off we went after Ian confirmed the N688 was still in Mckeesport. And we still made it home in time for the next domestic activity!
The future looks promising for the Bald Eagle. Seeing so many of these birds this winter up and down this Mississippi is a testament to the work nature/wildlife conservationists have done to protect and reestablish their numbers. Juveniles like this were plentiful and it makes me happy to know that my children will be able to experience their wonder for years to come.
Thank you so much for the previous self portrait comments my friends! I am feeling so warm in flickr that actually in last couple of days people sending new year regards to each other~ what a wonderful community!!
Anyway, everything is back to normal now, the new year celebration is over here~~~ the life must go on!!!!!
