Bad weather moves in today.

"Dear Flickr followers,

I am sending you this lovely postcard from Polynesia, more specifically from Tahiti. As I have heard that it is raining heavily where you are and that many people are affected by flooding throughout Europe, for example, I wanted to send you some warmth from this Polynesian paradise.

Unfortunately, here in Tahiti, a large part of the island is already under water due to global warming, as you can see on my postcard. I'm sorry if this news makes your seasonal depression a little worse.

Best regards, John."

Colonoscopy tomorrow, so I'm dreaming of logs today... (;P

Charred wood remains on pale limestone. Steep light over the coast. Fire left behind only the black structure of the branches on dry ground.

Verkohlte Holzreste auf hellem Kalkstein. Das Licht steht steil über der Küste. Die Hitze hat nur die schwarze Struktur der Äste auf dem trockenen Boden zurückgelassen.

Just a purty flower pic for a Monday morning on Flickr.

I've just been shooting anything and everything lately. Drifting aimlessly. No direction known. Just whatever presents itself.

...because everyone should have at least one 'red umbrella' photo...

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

I've been rediscovering my 70-300mm lens lately.

little kid, big river

Taken outside, looking into a bar in downtown New Orleans.

We had 5 kitties...now we have 6. Stella showed up in the yard a few weeks ago. Another abandoned kitty. While we were trying to decide what to do, hurricane Barry turned the weather ugly, and we just had to start feeding and comforting her. It's just too hard to ignore those pleading meows.

As it turns out, she is very loving and cute. What are you gonna do?

This is my 'runner-up' shot from trying to catch some lightning the other night. I was a little disappointed that all I was getting was some heat lightning flashes, but no real lightning bolts. After standing in a field for a half hour or so, getting eaten up by mosquitoes, I decided to call it quits. I put my lens cap on and started to leave when the lightning activity suddenly picked up.

"Hmmm...", I thought, "maybe I'll try ONE more shot." I set the camera back up, and as soon as I opened the shutter, BAM, the sky exploded with multiple bolts that filled the sky in all directions! I was so excited that I had caught that magnificent display! I left the shutter open for a while longer to expose the foreground a bit and then anxiously checked my screen to see what marvelous shot I had caught...the screen was black...totally blank.

Lesson: always check to see if the lens cap is on... }=/

My friend Gaylon [ www.flickr.com/photos/gaylon/ ] in action. It’s hard to keep up with this guy when we’re out shooting but I do my best!

Talk about blending in!!

I've taken a previously posted photo, taken in Galway, and thrown an evening's worth of mischief at it, including flipping the exposure curve to turn day into night. A fun experiment.
