if, after reading my intro, you'd like to see how Flo is getting on, her new adopted family have opened up a stream here for Rob and I to enjoy: [https://www.flickr.com/photos/192292535@N03]
I was planning to share something else a bit more obscure now, but I just heard from her new family how she's doing.. and it's great and made me cry.
Bess is now Flow. Her new name.
Pete and Lilly, and half an hour later their full-of-beans-n-good-natured German Shepherd Kumar, and (Kelpi?) Perro, all met up with Bess a few days ago.
Ever since her first lead training day, my ignorant prejudices of Bess vaporised. She has fantastic eye contact, if you know how to get it. You know, if you get on her wavelength she'll follow you to the ends of the earth. Look into her eyes...
[ i have in my mind the memory of her in the front of their van being gently cuddled and subtly entertained by Lilly, lit in the dark by the downlight of their courtesy light, as they all reversed out of Rob's drive to their new life ]
Long story cut short for now, she or we could not have hoped for a better life for her than with her new family.
Rob knew it, as did I, when we met Pete, Lllly and their dogs.
Happy :-)
The fertile leaflets of this fern are covered with tiny round spore producing sporangis. Upon releasing the spores, the fertile leaflets will fall off, leaving an open space (interrupted) between the remaining upper and lower infertile leaflets.
This 1960 flatbed truck, a product of the White Motor Company, is parked in a remote corner of downtown Wheaton. It happens to be for sale, if you're interested, for its original purchase price of $2,500.

by an oak leaf on its way to the floor of the valley was caught by this evergreen. I wonder how many we have destinations in mind that also become interrupted by things and we just kinda land in them like this leaf.
This old log in the water really caught my eye. I always love to shoot water moving around rocks and logs.
Happy New Year to everyone. Thanks for all the comments, faves and fun this year. I hope you all have a great 2008. :-)
M653 glides under the signal bridge at Thelma (aka Bobbs) on the Big Sandy Subdivision. If one looks closely at the signal bridge, you will see the sheet metal guards to protect the signal bridge from the blast of steam locomotive exhausts.
There is a lot of mess in this barn and feed lot. But in the midst of the cluttered chaos, a couple of horses and a few cows lend a calmness. Life is like that, lots of messes interrupted by small times of quietness and rest.
We interrupt the posts from Merced National Wildlife Refuge for this post from the Carrizo Plain National Monument, where a wetter than normal winter has resulted in a wildflower extravaganza. Kathi, the dogs,and I took a day trip out there today. If you live anywhere close, get yourself out there, sooner, rather than later. It's spectacular. Four-shot handheld panorama.

The Happy Caturday theme this week is "eyes". The eyes are my favorite part of a cat to photograph so I charged up the battery in my real camera and expected to take many wonderful "cat eye" photos.
Alas. It turned colder this week and Mack and Pippi seemed to do an unusual amount of napping. When I woke them up to get a photo of their open eyes, they mostly looked grumpy and went back to sleep.
If I had to interpret the expression in Pippi's eyes, I think they are saying, "I like you but since you're not waking me up to feed me, I think I'll just go back to sleep. Now take off."
Happy Caturday: It's in the eyes
This elephant was minding its own business in the distance, unaware of us—until our whispers and the click of the camera caught its attention. Then, it looked over... and slowly began to approach... cautiously...

... this silence makes you even more beautiful and precious
this holy silence is the dearest gift you can give me.
My little town!
A geranium basking in the morning Sun I cannot yet see, entangled in processing artifacts.
On this first day of Spring 2022, we—that is, I—interrupt our usual program with a reminder that we—that is, Sol, Gaia, Humanity—are all connected. We—that is, other people—just don’t always notice. In this 27-image handheld focus stack, I understand the processing artifacts, which only constrain the photographer, not the flower, and so could easily fix them. Maybe that will get posted, in due course.
Heard our revered guide Sir David Attenborough, in his excellent program “Breaking Boundaries”—highly recommended, worth the price of Netflix all by itself if, say, your budget leaves you enough surplus wealth for a camera—use the word “we” twice in the same sentence, leaving the viewer to work out the shifting implied reference. He said words to the effect of, “We—that is, scientists and the aware public—know that our actions are converting Nature from friend to foe, and so we—that is, corporations and a yet-to-be developed plenipotential global governance structure—can fix it.” True enough, as far as it goes. The program was mostly about explaining why people say “We have only a decade to avert the worst of climate change”, which in context seems a challenging schedule.

A perfect façade.
A grid of closed windows.
Everything seems still, rational, silent.
Then, a mop.
A daily gesture that cracks the architecture with the lightness of truth.
The city watches, you watch.
But who really cleans the surface of reality?
Shot in Amsterdam, along the elegant Herengracht.
Black and white to reduce the world to its essentials: geometry, contrast, and small visual disobediences.

Interruzione
Una facciata perfetta.
Una griglia di finestre chiuse.
Tutto sembra immobile, razionale, muto.
Poi, un mocio.
Un gesto quotidiano che incrina l’architettura con la leggerezza del vero.
La città osserva, tu osservi.
Ma chi pulisce davvero le superfici della realtà?
Scattata ad Amsterdam, lungo l’elegante Herengracht.
Bianco e nero per ridurre il mondo all’essenziale: geometrie, contrasti e piccole disobbedienze visive.
I am continuing my earlier series of minimal architectural views here in Europe, having interrupted them with a series of beach impressions during my time in Sri Lanka. Now I remembered a few successful shots I took a few years ago in Schwerzenbach, Switzerland, of an amazingly futuristic building. The pictures fit perfectly into the current series of pictures.

4 Mars 2024 : le Parlement de la République française, réuni en congrès, adopte à une écrasante majorité (780 voix pour, 72 contre et 50 abstentions) l'inscription dans la Constitution de l'IVG (interruption volontaire de grossesse), légalisée depuis 1975, comme un droit fondamental des femmes. En 1789 comme en 1887, on y avait pas encore pensé.
March 4, 2024: the Parliament of the French Republic, meeting in congress, adopts by an overwhelming majority (780 votes in favour, 72 against and 50 abstentions) the inclusion in the French Constitution of abortion, legalized in France since 1975, as a fundamental right of women. In 1789 as in 1887, it had not yet been thought of.
The spring "fiddleheads" of the interrupted fern are covered in fuzz when they first emerge in the spring. These were photographed in Perrot State Park near Trempealeau, Wisconsin. Interesting fact: Fossil records show that interrupted ferns have remained unchanged since the time of the dinosaurs. Wish I could say the same!

Interrupted curve of sand at a Death Valley dune.
If you follow my posts regularly and think that this looks familiar… you are correct! It is a vertical (or “portrait”) format of a photograph that I shared earlier in a companion “landscape” orientation version. When a subject can work either way (albeit with different effects) I will usually take the time to capture both vertical and horizontal versions. I suppose that one reason is that it relieves me of the worry that I might have picked the “wrong” option and puts off a final decision until later. It also provides me with two visual options for the image, something that is occasionally useful.
Superficially this version looks a lot like the other one, though the taller and narrower format may give greater weight to the curve running between the bottom and top of the image. However, if you were to look at them side-by-side you would notice that the textures in the sand are subtly different, and that that colors have also shifted a bit. This photograph, like quite a few that I make in situations like this, was made in rapidly changing light conditions, and in the brief interval between the two photographs the scene changed visibly.
