Double Exposure
One of the last shots I took in Japan. A double exposure taken at the observatory at the Haneda Airport: people, and the sunset they're observing.
A large wildflower that is growing just about everywhere here with an interesting shape. The texture in the background is from wheat moving in the wind.
So I took today off from work as I was still feeling a bit under the weather, but, by the time noon rolled around, I was feeling MUCH better....and it was really nice outside, so I hopped on a bus and c train, camera in hand, to check out the parts of downtown I never got to on my adventure two weeks ago.
Sadly, by the time I had reached downtown about 45 minutes later, the sun had hidden behind clouds and everything was grey and overcast, but, there were still many fine photographic opportunities to be had!
I started my journey at The Bow skyscraper, as it is only a block from where I get off the c train downtown, and also because I recently discovered you can actually go inside the beautiful Wonderland sculpture, so I knew I had to get in there to take some shots!
With the sky being pale and overcast, and with the fine (but amazingly strong and supple!) wires of the sculpture weaving together in front of my camera, I knew that this shot (and many I others I took today) would benefit from a low key black and white / monochrome treatment.
This sculpture, as I have shown you guys from other angles in previous photos, is by the internationally renowned Spanish sculptor Jaume Plensa, and stands 12 meters tall at the plaza outside the entrance to the new Bow skyscraper.
Hope you all like this one, and wishing you all a happy Friday evening and weekend!

Triple Exposure
A triple exposure taken at the observatory at the Haneda airport.
This picture is for the group Happy Caturday and this week the theme is "Weather".
Noah bird watching. We finally had a few more days that were in the mid 80's (Fahrenheit) but now we are back to the mid 90's. I usually open this window for about a half hour for the boys to look outside and get some air (before it gets too hot outside). We have a bird feeder and bath near this window which brings a lot of birdies for the boys to watch.
No more lizard incidents to report.... I know that Noah is very unhappy about that. Watching birdies out the window is not the same as chasing a lizard in the house! :)
I was shooting some interior pics at my grandparents' farmhouse and the cat kept putting himself in the photo.
Theme of The Week - Wildlife
We went up to Grafton/Alton to see the eagles flying around the Mississippi River. This eagle was at the visitor's center to promote the bird sanctuary that rehabs injured birds

I've had this one for a while and could not get it to look the way I wanted until now.
The bench is at a trail along a local lake. The trail is new and seldom used currently. This day was very windy and rainy with large storms passing through. Seconds after I shot this, large hail started to drop on me and I had to run back quite a distance to my truck with my camera tucked under my shirt and the tripod sticking out to the side. I bet I was akward looking from afar...Luckily, we both made it in one piece.
DFW Metro "Pick of the Week" #235
We were lucky to have a wedding to go to in Guatemala this weekend and had a chance to visit a few amazing sites. This is Lake Atitlan, a beautiful crater lake surrounded by volcanoes. Probably one of the most beautiful lakes in the world.
