I have this thing about lights and shadows.. as you can tell if you surf through the detritus in my flikr pages. It's certainly no Vermeer but I hope the idea of darkened room lit by firelight, moonlight and dim reflective surfaces comes across. She's perhaps too well lit but personality-wise.. she shines with her own inner light anyway :)
As for the upcoming product, peek at her shoes. They'll be out in a week or so, as soon as I get the sizing for the Maitreya beta correct, I'll get them right out.
I waited for a train, but as you can see one never showed. Alas... I'll try again next time I'm in the area. This is a winning location for a train image in my opinion, but I do like the emptiness of this particular frame.

It is hard to capture the full depth of the cascades as one only get to view it from the top of the cliff down to the ravine. Making it looks flat at this angle.
The Agnes Falls Scenic Reserve, located in Gippsland around a 15 minute drive from the township of Toora or one hour from Wilsons Promontory.
At 59 metres (194ft), Agnes Falls are the highest single span falls in Victoria, Australia.
This sign is close to the edge of the car park and to the coastal path at Senhouse Roman Museum. The fort here was set at the Western edge of Hadrian’s Wall. The path of the wall today is taken as running from Wallsend, Tyne and Wear in the East to Bowness-on-Solway, Cumbria. Alauna, or Senhouse was the location for a fort and civilian town at a strategic cliff and port to ensure that troops, travellers, traders and even tourists could not out flank Hadrian’s Wall across the mud flats and tidal river mouth.
If you have a chance to see this sign and to visit the museum and the Promenade that stretches out along Hadrian’s Cycleway all on wheelchair accessible paths then do enjoy the amazing museum and the natural wonders around the visible Roman fort and town that is still being excavated and studied as well as Mary Port that is still home to many people to this day.
The starry night backdrop is a Photoshop addition that I have edited rather dramatically.

I went home today to spend Thanksgiving break with my family, and I realized just how much I've missed them over this past semester. They really are the most amazing people in the world and it's going to be so nice to just relax with them over this weekend.
I went on a photoshoot with my younger brother today and along with these, we took a few pictures of he and I that I will post probably tomorrow. He and I have so much fun together, and he's such a good kid. I've missed him a lot. :) Hmm...today was a good day.
P.S. Oh, and thank you all for your kind comments on the last picture I posted. Your words really mean so much to me, you have no idea. Thank you so much
This little Butterfly has noticed that today is ♪♫♪♫ Spring ♪♫♪♫ ... she came on the veranda
of my balcony looking for flowers!!!
Happy Spring to everyone!!!

Macro Mondays - Theme: What is that?
This one is a bit tricky. Let’s say it’s a part of an object we use in the kitchen. 😉
The picture covers roughly 1 ½” in width of this object.
Multicolor lights were used to add color variations.
I have to admit the result is quite abstract.
Good luck guessing!
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments

San Miniato al Monte is a basilica in Florence, central Italy, standing atop one of the highest points in the city. It has been described as one of the finest Romanesque structures in Tuscany and one of the most scenic churches in Italy. There is an adjoining Olivetan monastery, seen to the right of the basilica when ascending the stairs.
St. Miniato or Minas was an Armenian prince serving in the Roman army under Emperor Decius. He was denounced as a Christian after becoming a hermit and was brought before the Emperor who was camped outside the gates of Florence. The Emperor ordered him to be thrown to beasts in the Amphitheatre where a panther was called upon him but refused to devour him. Beheaded in the presence of the Emperor, he is alleged to have picked up his head, crossed the Arno and walked up the hill of Mons Fiorentinus to his hermitage. A shrine was later erected at this spot and there was a chapel there by the 8th century. Construction of the present church was begun in 1013 by Bishop Alibrando and it was endowed by the Emperor Henry II. The adjoining monastery began as a Benedictine community, then passed to the Cluniacs and then in 1373 to the Olivetans, who still run it. The monks make famous liqueurs, honey and herbal teas, which they sell from a shop next to the church.
The interior exhibits the early feature of a choir raised on a platform above the large crypt. It has changed little since it was first built. The patterned pavement dates from 1207. The centre of the nave is dominated by the beautiful freestanding Cappella del Crocefisso (Chapel of the Crucifix), designed by Michelozzo in 1448. It originally housed the miraculous crucifix now in Santa Trìnita and is decorated with panels long thought to be painted by Agnolo Gaddi. The terracotta decoration of the vault is by Luca della Robbia.
The crypt is the oldest part of the church and the high altar supposedly contains the bones of St Minias himself (although there is evidence that these were removed to Metz before the church was even built). In the vaults are frescoes by Taddeo Gaddi.
The raised choir and presbytery contain a magnificent Romanesque pulpit and screen made in 1207. The apse is dominated by a great mosaic of Christ between the Virgin and St Minias on its vaulted ceiling dating from 1297; the same subject is depicted on the façade of the church and is probably by the same unknown artist. The crucifix above the high altar is attributed to Luca della Robbia. The sacristy is decorated with a great fresco cycle on the Life of St Benedict by Spinello Aretino (1387).
Saint Martin (French: Saint-Martin; Dutch: Sint Maarten) is an island in the northeast Caribbean, approximately 300 km (186 miles) east of Puerto Rico. The 87 km2 island is divided roughly 60/40 between France (53 km2)[1] and the Netherlands (34 km2);[2] however, the Netherlands side has the larger population. It is the smallest inhabited sea island divided between two nations, a division dating to 1648. The southern Dutch half comprises Sint Maarten and is one of four constituent countries that form the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The northern French half comprises the Collectivité de Saint-Martin (Collectivity of St. Martin) and is an overseas collectivity of France.

This picture is for the group Happy Caturday and this week the theme is "Love is in the details".
One thing that I love about Elijah is his playful kittenish face. He is always ready to play. He can make a game out of anything... carrying paper or toys through the house. Pouncing and dancing around a feather. He always seems to make me laugh.
This image is my thing
I love how water can change within a heart beat like our life.
I love how colors patterns and shapes can seem 2 give an image then dissappear
Sound familiar
Live a happy and fulfilling life while we can
This is just the stitched and edited portion of my Milky Way Nightscape shot at Redfish Lake taken in August. I enjoy looking at these with just the sky, a dark blurry silhouette of the foreground provides some context and contrast. Plus it gives people an idea of what it looks like to use a tracking mount and the outcome of doing so.
8 shots were used for this, each with the Nikon D800E and Sigma Art 50mm lens on the Sky Watcher Star Adventurer, all exposures are 4 minutes at ISO 800 and f2.8.
The sunbittern (Eurypyga helias) is a bittern-like bird of tropical rainforest regions in Central and South America.
This slender aquatic bird with mottled plumage lives on the banks of rivers and lakes. The Sunbittern is normally found foraging on the ground and scratching for insects.
This slim, solitary bird has a blackish, slate-colored head with two white stripes on either side of the face. Its body is mottled, brown with black, and it has some white marks. A long, pointed black and orange bill and red eyes are distinctive.
Adults grow to be 45-55 cm in length and weigh 170-215 gr.
De zonneral (Eurypyga helias) is een monotypische vogelsoort verwant aan de reigers en kraanvogels.
De soort komt voor in tropisch midden- en Zuid-Amerika.
De zonneral leeft in de nabijheid van rivieren, stroompjes en meren, meestal in vochtige bossen zonder teveel ondergroei.
De vogel vangt slakken en insecten als libellen en kevers.
In het leefgebied houdt de lokale bevolking de zonneral soms als huisdier, omdat hij vervelende vliegen en spinnen vangt.
Deze alleen of in paartjes levende vogel heeft een zwart-grijskleurige kop met twee witte strepen aan weerszijden van het gezicht. Zijn lichaam is gevlekt, bruin met zwart en heeft enkele witte vlekken. Een lange spitse zwart met oranje snavel en de rode ogen zijn kenmerkend.
Volwassen vogels zijn 45-55 cm lang en wegen 170-215 gram.
Deze foto is gemaakt in Burgers Bush, de overdekte tropische regenwoudhal in Burgers Zoo in Arnhem.

This is a profile shot of a Hong Kong orchid tree blossom against the water. The flower comes in various shades of red/purple and is found in many gardens all over the island. As the name suggests, the flower originates in Hong Kong, but grows quite well on Maui. The photo was taken in March 2016, with my trusty Olympus digital camera. Enjoy.

This is the view from the road a little above. It really looks like a forest in the water, which is an interesting sight.

"There is a CP 8111 somewhere in Topeka that just got GTBs" is what a text I received in the morning read. A few hours later, I was driving over Kansas Ave. when I saw a headlight pulling out of the yard. A few minutes later, said headlight turned out to be that of the aforementioned 8111!
Sure enough, it was paired up with the KCS 4852, and it was one of the "chicken trains" that have been running to/from the Cargill elevator via UP Haulage Rights for years. Now, following the merger, these have transferred over to the CPKC, as evidenced by the consist here.
