This is a picture from last week, but I liked it so much that I decided to use it for Bike Wednesday. I shipped Sam out to Vancouver yesterday and I'm going through bike withdrawals, partly fueled by anxiety over him being shipped via Greyhound in a shoddy cardboard box.
I just wanted to take this time to say thank you to everyone who has supported me in regards to my upcoming trip, both in my fundraising and with positive, supportive comments. I truly feel blessed to be part of such a loving, compassionate and inspiring community and I hope that one day I will be able to return the favour to all of you.
Joining Flickr, I never would have thought it would play such a vital role in my day-to-day life but it has and here is an example of these two worlds working as one. Over $500 of the two thousand I fundraised came from amazing friends on Flickr. I honestly couldn't have gone on this trip without the support from you all and I am eternally humbled that you've given me this oppurtunity, I know that I won't take it for granted.
Thank you.
I am a bit unsure about the ID of the caterpillar!

TO BE A TRAVELLING GYPSY PONY
That old adage springs to my ever questioning mind
“Look before you leap”
live life to the full before that final sleep
any promises you make; make sure you keep
the grass seems always greener to the unknowing flock of sheep
on the either side of that or any other divisive fence
one thing life has taught me
one thing truth has brought me
to count every blessing every single day
don't be complacent; do not relent
find the balance in the betwixt and between times
keep inside the joyful circle of the present tense
deep inside your beautiful heart's content
to be a travelling gypsy pony
a nomad; adventuress; princess of fairy stories
is a journey that I would love
no matter that the field is dry
tomorrow may bring a different sense
no need to settle in one place
no need to stop and wonder why
they are free to roam
and they have the instinct born in them
that always brings them home
the little one longs to play
with the neighbouring field of sheep
they eat green grass oblivious to his dreams
as he observes them so intense
what will tomorrow bring
does anyone really know
and does it matter really anyway
for any given moment is Heaven sent
and hope will get us through
and faith will bring us home
whatever happens to us
if we fall down in between
we will bounce like a rubber ball upright again
and the world will go on spinning
and some of it will go on sinning
but there is always hope of goodness winning
while the stillness within keeps us rooted to the ground
deep within our souls
where the echoes of our subconsciousness may be found
and like the gypsy ponies cycle continues round and round
we will find out where we belong
and our free spirits will sing loudly out their song
bolstering our courage; boisterous in our knowledge
that in this single given moment
we are young, we are free and we are strong...

Again outside was beautiful to look at but very dangerous while tree branches were falling constantly. Some ice casket trees looked like they had scientists freeze them to a point that they could witness what it would be like some time into the future. Haha too much Futurama?
Enjoy the weekend :)

“Finding Darkness in Rural America” is a new book I’m working on. I photographed this circa 1915 wooden granary in central Utah last week. Unlike today's round silos made of corrugated steel, the 100 year-old style of granary often looked like an unfinished building, with the framework on the outside for strength, and smooth horizontal planking on the inside to hold the grain. Canon 5D M3 • Tamron 15-30mm @ 15mm • f/2.8 • 20 sec • ISO 6400 • WB 3800ºK .
My new ebook, Milky Way NightScapes, gives extensive details on my style of starry night landscape photography. Four chapters cover planning, scouting, forecasting star/landscape alignment, light painting, shooting techniques and post processing.

~ Irish Blessing ~
May the blessing of light be upon you, light on the outside, light on the inside
With God's sunlight shining on you, may your heart glow with
warmth like a turf fire that welcomes friends and strangers alike.
May the light of the Lord shine from your eyes
like a candle in the window welcoming the weary traveller.
May the blessing of God's soft rain be on you,
falling gently on your head refreshing your soul with
the sweetness of little flowers newly blooming.
May the strength of the winds of heaven bless you,
carrying the rain to wash your spirit clean, sparkling after, in the sunlight.
May the blessing of God's earth be on you, and as you walk the roads,
may you always have a kind word for those you meet.
May you understand the strength and power of God in a thunderstorm in winter
and the quiet beauty of creation in the calm of a summer sunset
and may you come to realize that insignificant as you may seem in this great universe,
you are an important part of God's plan.
May He watch over you and keep you safe from harm.
Intense Green Heron About to Strike
From Cornell Ornithology Lab:
The Green Heron is one of the world’s few tool-using bird species. It creates fishing lures with bread crusts, insects, earthworms, twigs, feathers, and other objects, dropping them on the surface of the water to entice small fish.
Space Coast Photo #34
Here's one from a magical Ponderosa grove in the Deschutes National Forest outside Sisters, OR, seen under heavy snowfall and waning twilight light. I used (or was forced to use) a long exposure, rendering the snowfall more like fog.
A fog layer earlier in the day and week, along with cold temperatures, deposited a layer of frost on just about everything except the Ponderosa trunks. That, combined with the fresh and falling snow, covered everything in white which picked up the twilight blues in an eery way. Winter forests under fresh snow fall always amaze me in how silent they are, such a magical experience!

I had been planning this picture for quite a long time and somehow never got around to shooting it, despite needing very few materials and it being a self-portrait. Suddenly the weather broke and it started pouring down rain outside, and before a moment passed I was grabbing my gear and heading out the door. I don't think I spent even a minute considering what I was doing...I just went for it, knowing exactly what concept would work with that beautiful atmosphere.
I wanted something simple, something that resonated with me on a childlike level but also conceptually on an adult level. To leave is a difficult thing to do, and to be left behind is a fear that so many people have. The title, "To Leave or Be Left Behind", is one that I hope touches many, because often the choice comes down to the fact that either you have to move forward or you will be left behind.
I am currently in Pennsylvania, sitting in my husband's childhood room, typing this as I am ever-aware of the childhood that took place all around me. I found this to be a fitting picture to post now, here in this place, since not only is it paying tribute to childhood, but I also bought this dress with my mother-in-law about a month ago and only now got to use it. Had my wisdom teeth out yesterday but it went far better than anticipated and I'm feeling just fine!

Is nowhere full of geniuses? Because then I probably do belong there
I really like the photos I took tonight. I don’t know what one I should be using for my 365, but I’ve landed on this one. I will upload the “outtakes” separately as I really like them and therefore are more worthy than being stuck in the comments. I love this place. This was a different field where there was no motorway on the side, no telephone poles. Nothing. Just tall grass and trees. There was this lone tree I wanted to go to but there was no track leading to it, so it would’ve meant traipsing through the grass which I felt bad doing :s
I could’ve sat here for ages.
Thanks everyone for the comments and faves and notes on the last 2 photos. I really appreciate it more than you know :]
Elsie coming to get some one on one time. Indulge me for a few weeks as I try out a 60mm lens that I'm renting from lensrentals.com.
(title of photo comes from a song by Widespread Panic, so not original.)
Morning view. The iconic Prince of Wales Hotel, Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, Canada. 3 versions. I did not stay at the hotel, the photos were taken from outside the grounds of an unglamorous garbage dump. I did not encounter any other people whilst shooting these photos, and couldn't find any other angle to include both the hotel and the lakes and mountains together.
Among the most elegant of the herons, the slender Snowy Egret sets off immaculate white plumage with black legs and brilliant yellow feet. Those feet seem to play a role in stirring up or herding small aquatic animals as the egret forages. Breeding Snowy Egrets grow filmy, curving plumes that once fetched astronomical prices in the fashion industry, endangering the species. Early conservationists rallied to protect egrets by the early twentieth century, and this species is once again a common sight in shallow coastal wetlands and this area which is adjacent to the dog park in Redwood Shores.

A collaboration with Rob Orchard., torch swinging in the middle of Anish Kapoor's C-curve on the South Downs outside Brighton. His version's been up for about a week and hit #6 in explore, got picked by the local paper as photo of the day, and won the Eurovision Song Contest.

Nice showing of fog this morning in the hills west of Petaluma. I think I may have missed some low fog at the GG bridge, but was happy to have captured some of this awesome scenery before work! Hope you enjoy, let me know what you think!
My first try at this scene. I like this version because of the tone. Please see my other two Boston Skyline pictures on my Flickr site.
