There lies a road ahead of me.

I stand still, frozen in a moment

A place where I have no body

I am just soul

Leaves rustle up a storm

Signs of turmoil

The nip a little cold

But brings back the

Comforting memories

Of a Winter to come.

I hold still a moment longer,

Hoping for an omen of direction

But none arrives.

I step forward, treading cautiously

That my footsteps may not

Be told by falling foliage.

I quicken my pace,

Resolving that even an

Erroneous passage

Is better than the one

Which is never taken.

I've been wanting to photograph this one for a long time. This is one of the few remnants of Mason's rural farming past that remains. Mason is one of the fastest-growing suburban sprawl areas in the entire United States. To the left of this picture is a Kroger's grocery store, and there are modern-day fast food places and stripmalls everywhere surrounding this house. How has this survived? This is located on Kings Mill Road (Route 741) in Mason.

Lodmoor Coach Park, Weymouth.

Male of Megachile (Chalicodoma) parietina.

 

Technique: After photographing this mason bee in my lavender I turned it loose in a plant on my patio while I went to have lunch. Evidently the little guy got active and had lunch as well, because this is how I found him later on that same afternoon. This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. I used an artificial flower to keep the background from being black.

 

Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (around 2x) + a diffused MT-24EX (both flash heads on the Canon flash mount, E-TTL metering).

A4251 London Road south of Tring, near Newground Road.

Male of Megachile (Chalicodoma) parietina.

 

Technique: It was a cool day (18C) with partly cloudy skies and intermittent light showers -perfect weather to go looking for solitary bees since they'll have a tough time keeping their metabolism up. I got lucky and found this Mason bee semi-dormant in my Lavender.

 

Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (around 3x) + a diffused MT-24EX (both flash heads on the Canon flash mount, E-TTL metering). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. I used an artificial flower to keep the background from being black.

More pics of Mason! Some of these are left overs from previous shoots that I never posted!

My abelia Francis Mason on my rear terrace. Flowers for a long time & the leaves have a lemony tinge so interesting even in winter. Birds have sown a crab apple in middle of it, I am waiting to see if it is a nice red one before deciding to dig it out or not

This beautiful scene on Mason Lake was hidden from the road by some thick woods and a few natural campsites. The hour before dusk is my favorite time of day, and anytime I am in the Adirondacks during this time of day I am either shooting or dreaming about shooting while driving home, peering at all the images I could be getting if I wasn't running late getting home. I smelled this one out; I knew something good had to be behind those woods. We parked roadside and hiked about 30 feet in to this extraordinary scene.

 

View On Black

Mason Verger as he appears on the TV show, Hannibal. Played by Michael Pitt. Here is the malevolent Mason Verger in all of his glory! (and with all of his face!) I just had this idea and knowing Julius No and his love for Hannibal, I knew I had to get this up before he could! The OTHER version of Mr. Verger will be up shortly, comment if you favorite. :)

This is an old mason jar used as a lampshade. The lampshade is covered with different kind of vintage feedsack fabrics.

I have filled the jar with lots of vintage buttons.

IATR 51 and 60 were working the CP interchange in Mason City on this humid summer morning. Really nice people on this railroad, always friendly.

At the end of January Mason Lake is usually under several feet of snow. This year the lake is covered with a thin layer of ice and the basin itself has only a few patches of snow in the shadows.
