In The Garden !!!!!!!!!!!!
This beautiful green crowned brilliant hummingbird was flying around the gardens and it caught my eye. So small but so very beautiful. Costa Rica has so many beautiful species of hummingbirds but I think this one is one of my favorites. I particularly am drawn in by his beautiful eyes. Hope you enjoy him as much as I do.
Have a very blessed day !!!!!!!!!!!!
WISH YOU ALL A SUPER WEEKEND
We have sun today.
This is from one of my african daisies, i was surprised to see the details

One part of the large and beautiful garden by the palace in Lednice :)
Lednice is a village in South Moravia in the Czech Republic. In 1996 it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List (together with the twin manor of Valtice) as "an exceptional example of the designed landscape that evolved in the Enlightenment and afterwards under the care of a single family." It contains a palace and the largest park in the country, which covers 200 km2. Since Lednice first passed into the hands of the House of Liechtenstein in the mid-13th century, its fortunes had been tied inseparably to those of that noble family. The palace of Lednice began its life as a Renaissance villa; in the 17th century it became a summer residence of the ruling Princes of Liechtenstein. In 1846–58 the palace was extensively rebuilt in a Neo-Gothic style. The surrounding park is laid out in an English garden style and contains a range of Romantic follies by Joseph Hardtmuth, including the artificial ruins of a medieval castle on the bank of the Dyje River and a solitary sixty-metre minaret, reputedly the tallest outside the Muslim world at the time of its construction (1797–1804).

Jedna z części ogrodu pałacowego w Lednicach. Ogromnie mi się tam podobało :)
Lednice – miasteczko w Czechach w kraju południowomorawskim, niedaleko granicy z Austrią i Słowacją, nad Dyją. Z najduje się tam neogotycki pałac otoczony dwustuhektarowym parkiem. W 1996 roku obiekt ten razem z pałacem w sąsiedniej miejscowości Valtice wpisany został na listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO. Posiadłość od początku swojego istnienia (pierwsza wzmianka pochodzi z 1222 roku) aż do konfiskaty w 1945 roku należała do arystokratycznego rodu Liechtensteinów. W latach 1544–1585 powstał tu otoczony parkiem renesansowy zamek, wzniesiony w miejscu wcześniejszej gotyckiej twierdzy. Obiekt był później wielokrotnie przebudowywany, dzisiejszy wygląd pałacu zawdzięcza ostatniej architektonicznej stylizacji neogotyckiej w połowie XIX wieku. Park wokół pałacu założony został w XVI stuleciu. Obejmuje dwustuhektarowy obszar sztucznego krajobrazu - wykopano tu rozległe stawy i posadzono las. Wzniesiono tu też romantyczne ruiny miasta i pojedynczy, wysoki na 60 metrów minaret (dziś punkt widokowy dla turystów).
... In dream you can fly forever
And never miss a turn,
In dream you can spread your wings
And know where to turn...
~Yoko Ono~
"How happy is the little stone
That rambles in the road alone,
And doesn't care about careers,
And exigencies never fears;
Whose coat of elemental brown
A passing universe put on;
And independent as the sun,
Associates or glows alone,
Fulfilling absolute decree
In casual simplicity."
Emily Dickinson

Early in the day, before the city wakes up, this part of it is lost among the monstrous reality that never seizes to stop..

If you are in-between of the day and night in Lapland, welcome to the magic moments. Leave your sleep resting and leave yourself enjoying this precious sunset. See the change of colours of amazing reflections over the frozen lake, breathe the freshest air in the middle of the national park, feel the freezing cold on your skin and just be present.

The picture was taken from Kuakata, a sea beach of Bangladesh.
I have to admit when I first saw Brutus my heart momentarily stopped. There were other bears in the area, Georgina was one of them, she dissappeared into thin air, the other larger boars stayed but kept their distance from this massive boar.
Well, my friends, I miss my flower pictures.
So a short pause in the sharing of travel photos, which will now enter another phase, without lakes or lagoons, through my tour through the region of Tuscany and Umbria until finalizing in Rome.
Meanwhile two small compositions with orchids.
In this one the focus is far from ideal, but it was exactly what I wanted. I created a shade environment so that the flowers were only hinted at without definition. A type of photo that I have really hard to do given the personal taste for more definition and sharpness.
But I hope you like it.
An excellent weekend to all!
Mini white Phalaenopsis
Did some promo photos for a local production of a play. Had a great art director, which helped a ton. This was all in-camera.
Tokyo
Been doing these type of shots ever since I got to Tokyo in 2012. Natural filters are cool, but they can become boring. You need to move on and see new ways of seeing.
This was shot on a wet Tokyo night with Laurence Bouchard (there he is in the shot) - one of my favourite photographers - go check him out - www.flickr.com/photos/drzzz

Continuing with a series of images shot on iPhone 6s in Tokyo last April.
Big things planned for my Tokyo photographs.
Stay tuned.

This set went to a darker place than I intended. All I set out to do was have some fun triggering a flash from inside the little candle lantern I'd found on 50% clearance at Hobby Lobby, and the only darkness was that the flash barely fit in the lantern and my cheap radio triggers were not feeling so cooperative firing from more than a couple yards away.
When I got home and looked through the photos, though, they had taken on a mournful tone I never set out to shoot. A gloomier, more overcast day than anticipated. A pose to which I hadn't given that much thought. A lantern that suddenly represented something more. This was looking a lot more like a memorial than I'd imagined.
I shouldn't have been surprised. One of my best friends died in a car accident last December, and I think I feel that in many of my projects lately, even subconsciously. December: never again a favorite month. There's no way around it, but my friend loved photography too, and in a way I can honor her even when it feels like grieving at the same time.
With hope for a brighter next year.

The gorillas at the North Carolina Zoo Have this magnificent viewing area . This was through glass but for the first time ever I I stood in awe as this gorilla came right up to the glass and stood next to me. I almost cried.

It is Memorial Day today in the USA. In honor of the occasion, here is a view of the Pacific Theatre section of the United States World War II Memorial on the mall in Washington, DC. At the back left can be seen the Washington Monument – dedicated to the memory of the first commander-in-chief of American forces and later the first President. Next to this can be seen the US flag, and below it the POW-MIA flag, in remembrance of all those who were prisoners of war or missing in action while fighting for their country. I wish you all the best on this Memorial Day, and I join with you in honoring and showing respect for those who have given the ultimate sacrifice in order to try to make the world a better, freer, safer, and ultimately more peaceful place – in every nation and corner of the earth.

Something a tad different, I like it though!
In between taking this photo and posting it, I ran a half marathon! I didn't do a long run this weekend so I figured I would run in solidarity with all those people running the Boston Marathon today and I felt pretty good doing my 21km, now I'm ready to eat everything in the house.....
I am so excited that in 48 hours I'm going to be only a few metres away from Coldplay!!!
