Searching for the tiny Ram's Head Orchid... only one was in bloom.
Crazy Tuesday.... One Single Flower theme
One last evening to shoot a sunset by the ocean and I finally got lucky. Victoria seems cursed in the summer with boring clear skies.
A couple of nights earlier I commented to a fellow photographer that we were not witnessing a 5 star sunset. He thought I was crazy. Maybe, but he probably missed this one to see what I was talking about.
Patience and persistence :))

Thank you for your visit, most appreciated!
The old Japanese Maple is my favorite one in the Kubota Garden in Seattle. It spreads high and wide and displays lovely autumn colors in late October.
Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!
Here the traffic sign seems to indicate that you do not go to church, and as the church is today (at least in Europe) I am not surprised!
Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments.
From Bob Marley's song:
"Let's get together to fight this Holy Armageddon (One Love)
So when the Man comes there will be no no doom (One Song)
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner
There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation"

I met this guy today! Isn't he cute!! He lives in the pond nearby. He came out for a stroll.

Little Two-spotted Ladybird (Diomus notescens)
I see lots of these in the garden but they are always running. This one stopped for a millisecond so I got the shot.
They are 2.5 mm in length (maximum) and whilst they look black they are actually a very dark green with the orange spot on either side.

One of a pair of raccoons making the rounds of people's gardens early one morning. One of them was limping, and part of its tail is missing. Perhaps the dog was out when they visited the house with the sign on the fence: "Warning: Dog in Residence!"
The last of my shots from Piers Park on Monday. Large cities like Boston glow so beautifully at night.
This was about 140 seconds or so. Something like that.

♪ Dream Theater - The Dark Eternal Night ♪
No one dared to
Speak of the terrible danger
The hideous ancient warnings
Forged in the void of night
He has risen up
Out of the blackness; chaos
Belongs to the prophet's sister
A sickening monstrous sight
Through that stifling heat underneath the pale green moon
(Hungered with the thirst to see things not yet seen)
Climbing endless stairs, leading to the choking room
(Eager to explore his most shocking mysteries)
Drifting beyond all time
Out of the churning sky
Drawn to the beckoning light
Of the dark eternal night

I GOT THIS SHOT ON OUTSKIRTS OF LOCHALSH IN THE SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS. IT MAKES IT HARD TO PUT THE CAMERA AWAY UP THERE.
SORRY I'VE BEEN OFF AIR FOR A WHILE BECAUSE OF COMBINATION OF HOLIDAYS AND COMPUTER PROBS. BUT WITH LUCK I SHOULD BE UP AND RUNNING AGAIN NOW.
A stubby little California juniper with a rounded crown stands patiently beside a narrow, brush-lined dirt road above the Mojave riverbed like a schoolchild waiting for the morning bus while the Three Sisters watch maternally from the horizon.
This image is from a roll I shot on 127 Day, December 7th (12/7 in US date notation), in order to have a contribution for the 127 Day online exhibition on J. M. Golding's 127 Film Photography site (127film.blogspot.com/2022/08/127-day-exhibition-12th-of-j...). Lots of nice 127 images there for those who enjoy the 127 film format!
Camera: Ruberg Futuro (c1933, with f/11 Rodenstock Periskop lens, www.flickr.com/photos/kratz/2513372933/in/photolist-2jjbV...). The Futuro is a small, metal-bodied 127 film camera with rounded ends and a Bakelite screw-tube lens. The camera was one of four models produced in the early 1930s by Ruberg & Renner of Hagen, Germany, a company known primarily for the manufacture of drive chains for bicycles, motorcycles, and automobiles. By 1935, the company had ended their camera production and switched to the production of ammunition belts for the burgeoning German war effort. The little camera can shoot in either 4x6.5 or 3x4cm format through the use of a sliding switch on the camera's bottom which adjusts the negative mask inside the camera body. This image was shot using the 3x4cm option.
Film: 127 Verichrome Pan (expired 1971, originally ISO 125, now EI 25), developed in Arista Liquid Developer (1+9) for 5:00 minutes @ 71 degrees, and scanned with an Epson V600 scanner.
“I am only one, but still I am one.
I can not do everything, but still I can do something;
and because I can not do everything,
I will not refuse to do something that I can do.”

Too many women and too many pinball machines
I play too many women and too many pinball machines
They take all your money
Don't you give you back a thing
Not a doggone thing
Too much whiskey and too many bottles of beer
I drink too much whiskey and too many bottles of beer
Well if one don't get me
I know the other will
Oh yes it will
One foot kicking and one foot dragging the ground
Come on and sing it with me one time
One foot kicking and one foot dragging the ground
Well you might get me up, ha, but I ain't comin' down
Visiting a friends dairy farm, the cats just call for you to take their pictures. I think these are only the second cats that I've ever photographed. The other one is earlier in this gallery, taken at least a decade ago. Coincidentally, it was also a barn cat.
Oh baby, come on, let me get to know you
Just another chance so that I can show
That I won't let you down and run
No, I won't let you down and run
'Cause I could be the one
I could be the one
I could be the one
I could be the one ...
“To keep ourselves spiritually alive we must constantly renew our faith. We are like pilots of fog-bound steamers, peering into the gloom in front of us, listening for the sounds of other ships, and we can only reach our harbor if we keep alert. The spiritual life is, then, first of all a matter of keeping awake. We must not lose our sensitivity to spiritual inspirations. We must always be able to respond to the slightest warnings that speak, as though by hidden instinct, in the depth of the soul that is spiritually alive.”
— Thomas Merton in Thoughts in Solitude
I went for a drive at lunch today. I was amazed by all the yellow. I can't stand one Dandelion on my lawn but fields of them are visually striking. Fergus Ontario
So we learn how to take photos with a dslr, changing lens, focus, light, ISO, aperture and various other settings with millions of combinations of possible settings. We teach ourselves the theory and learn the techniques and then, along comes a mobile phone with a minute camera in it.
Having been someone who fought hard to understand the theory and complex three dimensional mathematics of navigation by the sun and stars, only for satnav to make all that learning and training totally redundant.... a waste of time, I'm beginning to sense that within a few years the craft of photography may be rapidly disappearing as all pictures are captured by mobile phone. The only people who will use a dslr will be those fools who do it the hard way just for old time's sake. But what's the point? Camera craft will die out as surely as the skill of using a sextant.

For one final time, the eastbound and westbound Yampa Valley Mail meet at Bond, CO. It is April 7, 1968 and it is the last day for the train. The little two car train was swelled in both directions. The westbound run had nine cars in the consist. In the background the eastbound train is coming down off the Craig Branch while the power for the westbound train sits in the foreground. Several passengers were out to capture the moment that would never again be repeated.

Cause when that morning sun comes beating down
You're going to wake up in your town
But we'll be scheduled to appear
A thousand miles away from here
People stay just a little bit longer
We want to play, just a little bit longer
Now the promoter don't mind
And the union don't mind
If we take a little time
And we leave it all behind and sing
One more song.
Excerpt from Jackson Browne's song Stay
And crawling on the planet's face,
some insects called the human race.
Lost in time, and lost in space.
And meaning.
