Hello there,
It was slim pickings for finding dragonflies this year because many local streambeds and ponds had very little or no water because of the drought. I love dragonflies so I was delighted to spot this meadowhawk in a local park.
Thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving a comment. I do love hearing from you!
Have a wonderful day!

Un believable news this morning waking up and hearing this bridge has been struck and is no longer standing. We just went over this bridge on Sunday afternoon. Use it quite a lot.
Hopefully those that were on the bridge have not been killed. Prayers for them.
This will have major impact to Baltimore on many levels. Travel, shipping, etc ...
Somehow you know you were in for a treat before you come across this beautiful waterfall. Walking on the path you can’t see the falls. You’re happy when you begin “Hearing The Falls.” When you suddenly come upon this wonderful sight you know the walk was worth the effort in getting here. Get closer still and the air is cooler and you can smell the fresh water. Nature pleases you again. Love the earth. Thanks for viewing my work. Be kind.
Yes, I know, the title is meant to be an oxymoron :)
Posting one from the archive. This is from the trip I made in December to Umpachene Falls in the Berkshires. By now, I imagine it's frozen. We're getting a bit of very wet snow today, but only about 3 inches.
Have a great day everyone!
~~Sorry for those faves regrettably lost, I found it necessary to switch to a better compression for this image. No more PNG only JPG from now on.~~

Hearing a college friend's story on youtube, after all these years... Sad a little...

After hearing that Q303 had one of the five remaining un-rebuilt MAC’s, I made the hour long drive to Augusta. After waiting for about five minutes I could see a headlight off in the distance. So I laid down and shot a few pictures of it before making the chase back west.
I love listening to all sorts of music. Whenever I get busy on the computer I'll put these headphones on just to keep me company.
Kilkenny, Ireland has been here for a thousand years, maybe two thousand. How many people have walked this path in a thousand years?

The Short-eared Owl (Asio flammeus) is a highly unique raptor famous for its diurnal (daytime) hunting, moth-like erratic flight, and ground-nesting habits. It is one of the most widely distributed birds on Earth and can be found on every continent except Antarctica and Australia.
Unlike most owls, they frequently hunt in broad daylight, particularly at dawn and dusk. This makes them much easier to spot over open meadows, marshes, and grasslands.
When hunting, they fly low over the ground with slow, floppy, and erratic wingbeats, closely resembling a giant moth.
They have a flat facial disc that acts like a satellite dish to funnel tiny sounds directly into their ears. This allows them to detect the faint rustling of mice and voles beneath thick grass or snow.
They are usually quiet but can get quite noisy during breeding season, often emitting calls that sound surprisingly like a barking dog.
Because they prefer treeless environments like prairies and tundra, they build their nests directly on the ground in shallow, scraped-out hollows concealed by tall grass or reeds.
Unlike birds that return to the exact same spot every year, Short-eared Owls are semi-nomadic. They will travel great distances to settle and breed wherever food (like voles and mice) is most abundant.

Another vibrant male tanager. We are not seeing and hearing as many in the Oklahoma Cross Timbers this season. Always delightful to see and hear them.
Our beautiful world, pass it on.

I haven't uploaded to Flickr for a while, so I'll take this as an opportunity to write some stuff on here that's been on my mind.
2014 is going to be the year I focus back on Fine Art. In 2013, I found a new vision of mine that I never knew I had, and that was for simple portraiture and fashion. It was a huge year for me, being offered incredible gigs and opportunities with the likes of Matt Corby and so many more. I met some beautiful people at meetups, photographed new faces, made some really close friends with many members of the teams I've worked with. However, I also lost myself a little bit among the Fashion Photographers whom I was constantly surrounded by (that's really all the photographers are around here, excluding a tiny few). Every time I tried to shoot a Self Portrait or a conceptual piece, I ended up giving up halfway and falling into the same monotonous routine of adding a curve or action preset on my photo and paying little to no attention to detail, colour, or meaning. My photography style got a bit lazy in the last year, but this year, it's my goal to improve on that, and come back bigger and better than before.
This photo is something I've wanted to shoot forever. Originally, I wanted to shoot it as a self portrait, but Sheri's face is literally so perfect and I had to take advantage of that. Quite often we fall into a trap of letting other people's words become our own. Their thoughts become our own, and we become confused and muddled in a world that isn't our own. We hold onto those words as if they're everything we need, and forget the most important thing, which is our own voice. I felt as if I had been pulled out of the depths of the water, whilst holding onto the words of others. That I needed to let other people define me. My life became dependent on others' thoughts and feelings and beliefs. I thought I found myself this year, but really, I lost myself looking, in a deeper world of confusion then what I originally thought I was in. It takes a breath of fresh air and listening to your own instinct, style and hear, and following that. Make your own life, and your own judgement. Life is what you make it, not what others say it is.
You'll be seeing me on here a lot more. With proper descriptions, better photos and more of the photographer I was in 2012. Hope you're all so very well.

p.s. Flickr recommends the images in my group the Little Select Gallery of Eclectic Visual Poetry. Please see why.
Apparently the Mallard Drake has quite an eclectic taste in mates. I am not certain of the actual mix of these two ducks and would appreciate hearing if anyone knows for certain.
As we move towards May, the small birds are migrating through my area. At least they have begun to do so. Every day in the woods presents additional species.
The trees are greening nicely, making many more hiding places for the little songsters. Spotting this little one, after hearing a song I didn't recognize, I chased it around and around a tall tree. Every time I could get the camera on it -- way up there -- it would hop to another branch, or move around to the backside. It took several dozen shots before I could get a photo of the head, and thus identify it as a Palm Warbler.

Après avoir entendu un bruit sourd, je me dirige en sa provenance.
A ma grande surprise, un essaim était en train de se créer.
Notre avenir dépends aussi de ces magnifiques abeilles !

After hearing a thud, I head for it.
To my surprise, a swarm was being created.
Our future also depends on these magnificent bees!

Swishes in the night,
stir up quite the fright.
Yet with all my might,
I convince my cat to fight,
because ghosts don't bite,
they just squeeze you real tight.
