I sent in a short article and this photo to our local freebie newspaper. It landed on the front page, bottom corner. I'm pretty pleased!
Taken on my way back from work. Just outside Leighton Buzzard. Sort of liked the tree, rest is history :)))))

Local businesses working together. What a mix. Watsacowie beer battered king George whiting and salt and pepper prawns washed down with cleverly crafted beers. Just do it, you won’t be sorry!!! We are here today for the pre harvest party Swamp donkeys playing til late.
Le panache des orignaux est éclaté, le local des MOOSES ne l'est pas. J'aime bien le panaché du «banc public» et du tibécik!?!
Minolta XE-7
MC Rokkor-X 1:1.2 f=58mm
A month of patience to get this at a pretty sweet price. The XE is basically in near perfect shape, save for a dented corner. Its smooth advance action and crisp shutter are seductive. The lens is something to behold. Someone's grandfather had very good taste in cameras.
Eype beach, West Dorset
Each fishing port has teams of rowers who compete at local regattas and here a crew are in practice for the big day - the competition is fierce as there is local pride at stake ..

I'm the local sissy transvestite in my town. I love shopping my favorite store because they are so welcoming!
Having shunted the scrap yard, local shunter 08648 is in charge of the trip up the short branch back to the BR network.
Bachmann Class 08 weathered and detailed with laserglaze and etched arrows and wipers from Shawplan with Bachmann POA scrap wagons, weathered to look battered and pitted to (hopefully) look like the real thing.
St Ignatius Church or the Jesuit Church is a Roman Catholic Church building served by the Society of Jesus next to Coláiste Iognáid in Galway. It was founded in 1863 and is a protected structure in the city.
The Jesuits came to Galway in 1620. In 1645 they built their first school in the area. Throughout the 17th century they were banished and invited back into Galway on numerous occasions. In 1652, they had to leave because of the arrival of Oliver Cromwell's army was in the area. They then returned with the restoration of Charles II in 1660, but were banished again in 1691 by the army of William III, returning finally in 1728.
In 1859, the Bishop of Galway, John McEvilly invited the Jesuits to create a college and a church in the area. In 1863, both the church and the college, Coláiste Iognáid, were built. St Ignatius' church was originally a 'service church' or chapel of ease that would serve the local parish church, St Joseph's. In 1971, Bishop Michael Browne asked that the church become a parish church. However, in October 2003, it reverted to being a chapel of ease.
Dominating the street with its imposing spire tower, this Gothic Revival-style Jesuit church was designed by the famous church architect, J.J. McCarthy. Michael Scott converted one of the porches into a chapel by Michael Scott with a mosaic by Louis Le Brocquy. The well-executed ashlar limestone front and tower contrast with the rusticated limestone elevations elsewhere on the building. Elaborate and finely detailed traceried stained-glass windows greatly enhance the building and the quality of the masonry, illustrated by the moulded windows surrounds, the tower, the buttresses and notably the particularly the fine entrance porch is all indicative of the high level of craftsmanship and workmanship employed in the construction of this prominent building. In the interior the fine hammer-beam truss roof is a significant element.
This is another one of those OMG-MAKE-THIS-YOU-GUYS recipes. My mind is blown by the sweet, spicy, tangy, sour, deeeep flavor of this jam. I cannot imagine anything better than a grilled cheese with a good bit of this secreted inside. (ETA: Yep, best grilled cheese ever.)
I made a triple batch of the Sweet n' Spicy Tomato Jam and used just one of these killer jalapenos in it. That was plenty! I also added the ginger called for in the second recipe because tomatoes and ginger are awesome together.
I was unsure of the acidity of my tomatoes, since they were big lovely sweet heirlooms, rather than paste tomatoes, so I added a good 1/4 cup more bottled lime juice than the recipe called for, and an extra Tbsp. of vinegar, because the bottle was almost empty. The flavor is glorious.
Upon rereading the recipe, I don't know what the heck happened to the sticks of cinnamon I put in there. They must have disintegrated. ??? Huh. The cloves went into a spice bag and I did remember to take them out. :P
Triple the recipe and more than an hour of cooking (probably more like 1.5 hours) gave me 3, 8 oz. jars.
This is the second recipe I've used that didn't call for peeling the fruit (the other is the roasted plum sauce) and I think I would in both cases next time. In this case, they just don't look awesome in the sauce, and in the other, they're a little chewy.
While the Gang of Four (www.flickr.com/groups/2472126@N24/) were engaged in some concerted street photography a few weeks ago, we passed the iconic Cameron House, a local 'watering hole'/hotel/bar on Queen Street West in downtown Toronto. Among the distinctive features of the building are the murals on the front and side (among other things, but you should look for yourself if you have an opportunity). Here you see the front. As luck would have it, a lady decked out in winter garb was passing the front door and appeared to be talking on her cell phone, and it struck me that she and the mural subject could be engaged in a 'phone conversation. The story sort of wrote itself. A quick grab shot and this is the result. - JW

Yadira told me she was in the mood to shoot and we made it happen. Fun shoot on a lovely May evening in a local park. Hard to believe she has several kids. Remind me to shoot with her again,
I took these photos in May 2020 at Star River Walk Park, Star, Idaho.
A pre-Valentine day gathering with friends over great food and ale! Cheers to Saturday's cliché and the weekend!

After a wonderful stay in Chaka Salt Lake, me and other photographers continued our way to Tibet. In the morning, our drivers stopped by a gas station to refuel the cars.
We saw a local food vendor selling breakfast. We immediately rushed towards her. She is specialized in making egg wraps. Almost every photographer ordered one. Her wraps were made to order which were fresh and hot. After my first bite along with a soy milk drink, I could conclude that it was one of the best breakfasts in my two weeks of journey :)
