If you know a kid that you want to get interested in the ocean, science or the outdoors, this fish may pique their interest. It's a Striated Frogfish, also known as a Hairy Frogfish. Some have a lot more of a hairy look than this one. When I was with Scott, Judy, and Marie, they were finding a lot of Frogfish but this one was on relatively clean sand and booking it on his way to somewhere. (Personally, I think he had a date.) They "walk" on their front fins but usually stay still, fishing with the little artificial lure in front of their mouth. When a small fish gets to close, attracted to the lure, they open their mouth rapidly, creating an intake of water, prey and all. I read that they have the fastest bite in nature, but that may be a claim like "The best BBQ west of the Mississippi", but I believe it. Another critter from the Blue Heron Bridge dive. (Antennarius striatus)

"If you're walking in the woods, you're probably going to get more annoyed by a loud, screeching bird call than a soft, complex birdsong. But dark-eyed juncos are just the opposite. These birds will find and fight their soft-singing peers.
Now, lest we think of dark-eyed juncos as simply the philistines of the animal kingdom who go about brawling with any bird that inject a little creativity into its birdsong - which, I'll admit, is a most entertaining thought - there's a more straightforward logic at play here. As with most things, it's all about mating and reproduction.
Males juncos will let out a loud, boisterous call when they're asserting their territory, but they'll favor a softer, more melodic song when they're trying to attract a mate. Researchers at Indiana University found that, when they played these two different songs for some male juncos, the birds completely ignored the loud song but actively searched for whoever was making the softer call.
In the wild, any male junco that goes hunting for the fellow junco behind that song is basically looking for a fight. It appears the birds are far more interested in maintaining their access to potential mates than they are protecting their territorial claims. They may not be philistines, then, but it does appear the juncos care far more about sex than land...which I suppose, as these things go, it's a fairly sensible decision."

If you've never visited Saturna Island, you should. So far it's my favourite of the Southern Gulf Islands. We had the best day there, wished we could have stayed longer, it is truly magical there.
... it will shine.
Spent a bit of afternoon yesterday sitting on a porch with some friends watching, hearing, and feeling a fairly intense and present gully-washing thunderstorm.
When all was cleared, I headed for my truck and spied these viny-weedy things by the barn. I'd walked by them several times yesterday, but contrary to my norm, hadn't even noticed them. Now they were sparkling beneath the lightening sky and, I think, even whispering slightly above the sound of the drizzle on the ground.
When the sun re-emerges after the storm, it doesn't immediately dry up the rain. But it does make it beautiful.
Fresh, clean, bright, and glistening.

If you have been by Pino 1951 for any length of time, you will most undoubtedly seen this beauty on the dancer's stage. Besucona, or as most there call her 'Besu', is a friendly presence to the comfortable, seedy, classy lounge. I let Besu know that I intended on getting a proper picture of her since so often she's been in the scenery of some of my other photos at Pino.
So here she is.. the lovely Besucona. ღ

If you are looking to become more open-minded with your clothing, opting for this Newphe Kaia bustier top is a good starting point!
You can wear this Kaia bustier top with shorts, pants, or even a skirt. Depending on what you wear it with, you can dress it up or down. This top also makes for a great layering piece. I layered mine with this cardigan sweater.
The difference between a corset and a bustier is that a corset is an item that you wear and cinch it in at the waistline for an hourglass look. By contrast, this bustier kaia top has an almost bra-like type of appearance that cinches along your mid to upper abs.
Fits: Reborn, Reborn Juicy, Reborn Waifu, Khara, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Legacy Pushup, Maitreya Lara, Maitreya Smash, and Maitreya Petite mesh bodies.

If you look closely, you can see I got caught in a small microburst of rain while shooting the sunset on Monday night at Grinter Farms in Tonganoxie, Kansas. A few more days of images from the set I took of this year’s sunflower crop.

If you've visited Amsterdam you must have seen the Magere Brug, the Skinny Bridge, which spans the Amstel River at Carré Theatre. No doubt during the day you've admired its strict, parallelled and even white forms.
But for the Amsterdam Light Festival 2020 and 2021 artist Krijn de Koning (1963-) decided to use LED lights to create a 'chaotic' night view. It breaks up the strict, mathematical lines of the day-view bridge. Fascinating, even in the light drizzle so from the Blauwbrug Sammy took a shot to share with you.
If you follow me on Twitter (@matthazphoto) you might have seen that I've been using my lunch breaks at work to fit in a bit of photography and this heron is the reason why. I sometimes go for a walk at lunch but the other day I spotted this heron which didn't seem bothered by people walking by.Typically I satarted taking my camera to work and didn't see the heron for a couple of weeks (despite others telling me it was there!) but on Monday it was back. It was hunting in some plants, possibly hoping for one of the rats that occasionally pop out. After ten minutes it finally struck and came out with... this worm, ten minutes of patient waiting for a worm!
I´m going to spank you, than .... ... over this billiard table.

that is the wrong way to think as a photographer. The work should be great, and that is all that is important. If people want it, and want it to put on their walls, that's great too :-)

This waterfall would be a part of the elven city.
Yes, I am an LOTR fan, if you couldn't tell from my dog's name ;P
Lower Falls Creek Falls, Gifford Pinchot National Forest, WA
What a beautiful waterfall. The hike had more elevation gain than I anticipated (I was missing my hiking poles after a while), but it was a great hike to a wonderful destination. The sunlight hitting the mist at the top really gave it a mystical feel. I bet if one timed it right one could really get some awesome sunburst action or morning mist magic.
Samwise and I arrived about 20min before a whole bunch of folks started to arrive, and by then we had turned around and were going up the other part of the Falls Creek Falls trail (WAY up), and there were some great places to pull over and watch the water and enjoy the sunshine. On our way back down we took the alternate route back to the parking lot, and I'm so glad we did. First off the forest was gorgeous; moss tufts clinging to bark, a carpet of green springy moss, light and shadows dappling the leaves and ferns, babbling creek sounds...oh so wonderful. And there were a lot of birds or insects making a sort of clacking sound (I imagined a bunch of tiny crabs in the trees clacking their pincers together, it's the best analogy I could come up with to describe the sound) that was entertaining. Secondly, I'm glad we went the other route because there were hardly any folks on that part of the trail, and when we got back to the parking lot it was overflowing with cars and people, meaning the main path would've been a clogged nightmare. Thank goodness the robins outside my window woke me up a little earlier than I originally planned this morning so I could get out and enjoy nature before being bogged down by other nature-seeking people.
Happy Memorial Day everyone.
If I only had a rainbow flag.... :(
Well wishes to Orlando....

No one wants to see God's beautiful creation behind a fence, in a cage; albeit protected from the wild poachers, but it can be a good thing if our animals are well cared for... still I know some will argue the point. I for one, am thankful to be able to at least get to meet these amazing creatures in a set setting, I talk with them and try to convey a sense of calm and crazy rationale and ask forgiveness for human's mistakes with creation. This female Snow Leopard is starting to recognize me when I come visiting. If you look a little into eyes, you can see my reflection...
If we learn nothing else from this tragedy, we learn that life is short and there is no time for hate.
We are more determined than ever to live our lives in freedom.

Image 85 in this fun series of the capturing of the BULB capture. This capture is taken at Middle River in Maryland showing the smoothed clouds and smoothed out water surface.
This series allows the viewer to see conditions as they were during the shot, and then the resulting long exposure effect on the water and clouds. It also shows how people moving about 'vanish' from the long exposure.
For this moment in time I am displaying the long exposure taken on the right side (796 seconds long), and the conditions that were during this time can be seen on the capture to the left showing the BULB capture being taken. It was actually pretty interesting watching the sky change tones and colors during that 800 seconds and the resulting combination obtained on the sensor.
Other images in this series can be seen in The Album "If They Could See What We Can See"
If you don't know what this is about, that's OK, no worries. For all my US friends, please VOTE...
Here in the US, while the president lies to us about the "left-wing problem" the right wing hate groups are plotting to kidnap government officials and start a civil war, Trump's response - "stand back and stand by". Well, we have our Armed Services and the State National Guards. We don't need right-wind militia hate groups walking around with guns or a "Trump Army" to "protect" us, we're better than this, WAKE UP PEOPLE - VOTE!!
