...or Studley. A fabulous weekend in HB for the Open Studios. You can't walk down the street in Hebden Bridge without tripping over an artist these days.

I would be most grateful if you would refrain from inserting images, and/or group invites; thank you!
Oxburgh Hall is a moated country house in Oxborough, Norfolk, England, today in the hands of the National Trust. Built around 1482 by Sir Edmund Bedingfeld, Oxburgh has always been a family home, not a fortress. The manor of Oxborough came to the Bedingfeld family by marriage before 1446, and the house has been continuously inhabited by them since their construction of it in 1482, the date of Edward Bedingfeld's licence to crenellate. A fine example of a late medieval, inward-facing great house, Oxburgh stands within a square moat about 75 metres on each side, and was originally enclosed; the hall range facing the gatehouse was pulled down in 1772 for Sir Richard Bedingfeld, providing a more open U-shaped house, with the open end of the U facing south. The entrance, reached by a three-arched bridge on the north side, is dramatised by a grand fortified gatehouse, evoking the owner's power and prestige, though as fortification its value is largely symbolic; it is flanked by tall polygonal towers rising in seven tiers, with symmetrical wings extending either side that reveal nothing on the exterior of their differing internal arrangements. About 1835 the open end of the U was filled in with a picturesque, by no means archaeologically correct range that recreated the central courtyard. Other Victorian additions include the Flemish-style stepped gables, the massive southeast tower, the oriel windows overhanging the moat (illustration, left) and terracotta chimneys. Four towers were added to the walled kitchen garden. The hall is well known for its priest hole. Due to the Catholic faith of the Bedingfeld family, a Catholic priest may have had to hide within the small disguised room in the event of a raid. The room is reached via a trapdoor, which when closed blends in with the tiled floor. Unlike many similar priest holes, the one at Oxburgh is open to visitors. The hall is also notable for the Oxburgh Hangings, needlework hangings by Mary, Queen of Scots and Bess of Hardwick. Mary worked on these while imprisoned in England, in the custody of the Earl of Shrewsbury. The estate has a number of woodland walks, including a 'Woodland Explorer' trail. Oxburgh Hall is a popular location for film and television series, including brief appearances in the Dad's Army episode "Museum Piece", and later in You Rang, M'Lord?. It was the major setting for the 1994 television dramatisation of Love on a Branch Line, a novel by John Hadfield. It is a Grade I listed building, the highest-level designation.
The Hospices de Beaune or Hôtel-Dieu de Beaune is a former charitable almshouse in Beaune, France. It was founded in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin, chancellor of Burgundy, as a hospital for the poor. The original hospital building, the Hôtel-Dieu, one of the finest examples of fifteenth-century Burgundian architecture, is now a museum. Services for patients are now provided in modern hospital buildings.
An important charity wine auction is held in November each year (formerly in the great hall of the Hôtel-Dieu).
Or, some other insect on a dead river birch (Betula nigra) tree leaf fallen into our oregano: who would kindly identify it for us, please?
To all who visit and view, and – especially – express support and satisfaction: you are much appreciated!
Vampires are typically said to not have reflections or cast shadows. This is often portrayed in folklore as a physical characteristic of vampires.
It is also said they can't be photographed or recorded on film.
Transylvania (Tiverton), Devon, UK.
[Transylvania is a region in central Romania. It's known for medieval towns, mountainous borders and castles like Bran Castle, a Gothic fortress associated with the legend of Dracula. The city of Brașov features Saxon walls and bastions, as well as expansive Council Square, ringed by colourful baroque buildings, the towering Gothic Black Church and a number of cafes]
or simply 'Eddie'.. my marvelous, wonderful, fun-filled cat .. to see him is to brighten my day!
Thanks for looking in! - Have a great day!
Well, it depends on the tide. High tide, island. Low tide, peninsula.
Just another of the many little charms that can be found at the Sandbanks Provincial Park on Newfoundland'd south coast.
This really is just a small little island ... or peninsula, though. The large land mass you see in background on the left is not part of it. That really is an island a little farther off the coast. So, it has no conflicts about its identity. :-) The same goes for the land you see on the right.
If you care to search Sandbanks Provincial Park, Newfoundland on Google Maps and switch over to Satellite view you will be able to appreciate all the white sand beaches in the area. And you will be able to find this little jewel here.
Lizzie “Paint them all red, or it's off with your head!”
Maddie “Yes your royal royally high highnessy! But isn't it time for tea?”
Lizzie “It's always time for tea with a Hatter... Oh is that you Kitty Cheshire?”
Kitty “Meow, yes it's me! I was having a cat nap... did someone say tea?”
Lizzie “No tea and no sleep until all the flowers are red! Or it's off with your heads!”
Got lucky and finally found Lizzie Hearts ^^
I'm happy to have completed the Wonderland trio, they are so colourful and pretty together!

My second build for the Iron Forge. I'm just warming up, don't let this build be like cold water to you. Last round was a close shave I thought, so I'm stapping up my game! Ready for a brush with me? There certainly isn't bathroom enough for the both of us!
Did you think the tap puns were over? :P
Hope you like it!
The coypu, or nutria (Myocastor coypus) is a large, herbivorous, semiaquatic rodent and the only member of the family Myocastoridae. The coypu somewhat resembles a very large rat in appearance. Adults are typically 5–9 kg (10-20 lb) in weight, and 40–60 cm (15-24 inches) in body length, with a 30–45 cm (12-18 inches) tail. They have a coarse, darkish brown outer fur with a soft under-fur. Two distinguishing marks are the presence of a white patch on the muzzle, and webbed hind feet. They can also be identified by their bright orange-yellow incisor teeth (unlike rats, which have brownish yellow incisors). The nipples of female coypu are high on her flanks. This allows their young to feed while the female is in the water.
Coypu can also be mistaken for another widely dispersed semi-aquatic rodent that occupies the same wetland habitats, the muskrat. The muskrat, however, is smaller, more tolerant of cold climates, and has a laterally flattened tail that it uses to assist in swimming, whereas the tail of a coypu is round.
They are herbivorous, feeding on river plants, and live in burrows alongside stretches of water.
"Água" foi um grande desafio porque trabalhei pela primeira vez um still
tendo como recurso um smartphone. Segundo por escolher trabalhar diretamente com gelo ao invés de produzir um mockup como é de costume.
A idéia foi pensada de forma simples, consistindo em chamar a atenção para a economia de
um bem natural que preocupa a população mundial e discutida insistentemente sobre formas de se evitar o fim do mesmo.
Através da semiótica, "Save or Die" pede por consciência na utilização da água ao mesmo tempo induz o espectador a pensar sobre o motivo dos objetos estarem esculpidos dentro fragmentos que lembram rochas em processo de descongelamento.
Pelo lado estético, a sutileza da informação se confunde com proposta de criar esculturas em gelo, trazendo o lado artístico para o ensaio, nem por isso, deixando de lado a mensagem.
O processo de reutilização da água esteve presente nesse ensaio. Todas as fotos utilizaram a mesma água. Um processo que durou uma semana.
Não lave tanta roupa, não use tanto a mangueira, não se demore ao banho.....
O que fazer agora? Economizar!

Took a quick walk over to my neighbour's yard. Her White Dogwood is blooming this morning! It's so pretty!

Come Rain Or Come Shine
I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain and deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me, it was just one of those things
But don't you ever bet me, 'cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
We'll be happy together, unhappy together
Now won't that be just fine?
The days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
I'm with you, baby
I'm with you rain or shine

In September 2015, I was scouting out and photographing numerous sites around Lake Tahoe, California and many sites in the Eastern Sierras for a short 5 days.
One the night of September 17, I took the Bonsai Rock Milky Way shot with the moon just above the distant mountain peaks.
The next day we moved down into the Eastern Sierras where I had been planning to photograph the iconic bristlecone pine tree with the Milky Way. Little did I know on the way down how well the moon would come into play with my night sky photography work there.
I used a long established technique to get the moon rays in this shoot while I light painted the bristlecone pine tree with my special light.
In 2017, I will have two 5 day Milky Way photography workshop in Arches National Park in Moab, Utah, one over the 3rd week in March and one over the 3rd week in April.
During each of the two workshops, I will conduct 3 4+ hour Milky Way Photoshop post processing session where I teach all the techniques I used to create this final photo but this time it will be more of what is called a "Deep Dive" PS post processing session and workshop participants will need a laptop with Photoshop CS 2017. Lightroom will work but lacks some functionality used in what I will teach.

My Milky Way night sky photography workshops
In 2017, I will be leading two 4 day photography workshops in Jackson Hole. During both workshops, I will take my group out for 3 nights of my Milky Way night sky workshop.
My 2017 4-5 day photography workshop schedule:
ANP, Canyonlands & Monument Valley - March 24-29
Icons of the Southwest w/Ryan Smith - April 23-28
Jackson Hole, Wyoming spring - June 21-25
Jackson Hole, Wyoming fall - September 19-23
The great part is that in 2017 I will return to Jackson Hole for the incredible wildflowers throughout the valley and the surrounding mountains.
