I was finally able to get outside after a string of rainy days. Sadly, the sunset was a bust as a set of clouds moved in right as the sun begain going down. But I was able to capture an interesting shot of the seagulls flying about next to Ivar’s on Pier 54 of the Seattle waterfront. The folks that you can see over in the right portion of the screen kept throwing bits of cracker and the birds were flying about in a rather manic frenzy... as if those little crumbs were last on Earth. I’m glad I brought my Nikon D700 out today with the extended battery pack so I could capture the motion at 8fps. don’t think the folks trying to eat a peaceful meal of fish ‘n chips appreciated my “ratatat tat” machine gun sounds that came from my camera however :) This was my favorite of the bunch as one seagull passed right in front of the sun.
Though colorful, this is not an HDR. Other than standard post processing (levels, curves, contrast), I adjusted the white balance and then applied a warming filter in Photoshop. Hope you all have a fantastic week!
And now for the rinse…
It was an absolute treat to watch a flock of some 30+ Sanderlings enjoying bath time as the small waves of Pensacola Bay rolled in just after sunrise. I’m not sure what the order represented, maybe family units, possibly some pre-conceived risk-to-reward, not too many in the water at one time for safety’s sake methodology but for some odd reason only two to three would bathe at a time. They would march out from the dry sand area about 4-5 feet, bend down with their beaks fully extended, allowing the wave to wash completely over them.
As soon as the wave passed, they would shake wildly, preening intentionally…like stinky parts…wing pits and personals…just in time to assume the position for the next wave. After 2-4 waves they would leap straight up in the air and fly back to the flock, quickly being replaced by a member of the posse.
Good clean natural adventure before dementia!

The pinnacles at Phillip Island are well known and about an hours walk from the nearest car park. i wasn't quite prepared for the 15 photographers all juggling positions and trying to avoid getting in each others shot. This was my first visit here and it is a truly amazing location with rocks dating back 400 million years.

I had the pleasure to travel to San Francisco this summer with my family. It's such a beautiful city and there are so many wonderful picturesque locations to choose from, truly a photographer's paradise. Since I hadn't been there in 10 years, I decided to reshoot several of the famous landmarks, the Golden Gate Bridge being my main interest as I had never seen it without tons of fog. During the few days I was there, the weather was unseasonably warm and again, thick layers of fog blanketed the bridge nearly every day, almost completely blocking out the sunsets. On the last evening before we had to leave, I decided to make the trek out to Fort Point for one of the many postcard views. Just as I got there, as if on queue, the fog began to lift as the sun went down. I ran (literally) up and down the beach to try and find the best location and fired off several sets. The sunset was amazing... Orange to purple to blue... I had never seen anything quite like it and had a hard time getting back behind the camera as I just wanted to sit there and soak it all in. When I got back home, this was my favorite of the bunch as it really captured the full color gradient of the sunset that had been enhanced by the lifting fog. In addition, I really liked how the last few rays of sunlight poked through and highlighted the trees over on the left, with the one solo tree on top of the hill almost perfectly framed by the bridge arch. The sailboat was a total bonus and couldn't have sailed through at a better time.
About the shot, this is an HDR composed of 9 different exposures to cover the full dynamic range of color in the magnificent sunset as well as the famous red color of the bridge. The longer exposures in the set did a great job of capturing the motion in the waves as they crashed against the rocky shoreline. Once the 9 shots were stitched together, I just did some standard post processing in Photoshop (curves, contrast, sharpening).
Sorry to all my Flickr friends who haven't seen much of me lately. Work has been full of unexpected changes and has taken much of my focus recently. The good news is that I've been out on several shoots over the summer and have at least 20 sets to still sift through and process. I'll post them over the coming weeks. I should be back in full swing and look forward to catching up on my contacts' streams and going through the hundred+ friend requests I've received recently. Please be patient if I don't get to you right away or comment on every image but please know that I enjoy going through everyone's streams and taking time to appreciate all your wonderful work. Hope you all have a fantastic week!
Also, almost forgot, a portion of my portfolio has been featured on the FREE iFolio iPhone application. There are quite a few great artists out there and some awe inspiring work so if you have an iPhone, you can download the app and take the beautiful photos with you in your pocket :-)
Running west briefly, eastbound Amtrak 712 is headed from Amtrak's West Oakland Maintenance Facility to the Oakland Amtrak Station at Jack London Square. In about 20 minutes, the train will roll through here again in the opposite direction as it makes its way for Bakersfield.
Leading the train is CDTX 2009, one of nine F59's built for Caltrans in 1994 (Six more were built in 2001, and 11 total are active as of Summer 2026).
Formerly known as the San Joaquins, the 7 daily round trips from NorCal to the Central Valley were rebranded to Gold Runner in November 2025.

I asked my husband what to upload today ; ) A star jump he said...of himself of course ; ) I found this one from our hike to Hornelen last summer, which I hadn't posted any photos from yet.

Me and Andreea were down at the Guildhall on Friday, taking pictures of a fashion show called When Kafka met Kahlo being put on by our friends Battenberg-Cartwright.
This was taken just before the show began.
Larger groups of meerkats will have a meerkat on what is called a sentinel duty (or the raised guarding position), which is when a helper or a non-breeder climbs to a high point to watch out for predators and other possible threats to the group, this task is performed for a maximum of an hour or two a day.
to get on the road and hug it for a shot...loved the way the sun is setting on the tree stump :)
...lol it's late...Please no invites...save them for someone else!!
Have a great Friday...hope to catch up later today...
My sixth entry to the Iron Forge 2025! Here, I used two seed parts (mudguard that has only one wheel arch) to create the pockets.
I won't pretend to know a lot about pool, but I know the black ball should go in last, making that yellow ball a tricky shot.. hence the title!
I would have liked to build it out a bit more, but did not have enough of so many of the essential parts...
Alternate title: "I ran out of bright green".

Blueberries is very healthy all the time :-)
Here we enter the macro world with a bokeh capture of an amarican blueberry in Norway.
Wikipedia:
Blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum) are perennial flowering plants with indigo-colored berries. They are classified in the section Cyanococcus within the genus Vaccinium. Vaccinium also includes cranberries, bilberries and grouseberries. Commercial "blueberries" are native to North America, and the "highbush" varieties were not introduced into Europe until the 1930s.
Blueberries are usually prostrate shrubs that can vary in size from 10 centimeters (3.9 in) to 4 meters (13 ft) in height. In the commercial production of blueberries, the smaller species are known as "lowbush blueberries" (synonymous with "wild"), while the larger species are known as "highbush blueberries".
The leaves can be either deciduous or evergreen, ovate to lanceolate, and 1–8 cm (0.39–3.15 in) long and 0.5–3.5 cm (0.20–1.38 in) broad. The flowers are bell-shaped, white, pale pink or red, sometimes tinged greenish. The fruit is a berry 5–16 millimeters (0.20–0.63 in) in diameter with a flared crown at the end; they are pale greenish at first, then reddish-purple, and finally dark purple when ripe. They are covered in a protective coating of powdery epicuticular wax, colloquially known as the "bloom". They have a sweet taste when mature, with variable acidity. Blueberry bushes typically bear fruit in the middle of the growing season: fruiting times are affected by local conditions such as altitude and latitude, so the peak of the crop, in the northern hemisphere, can vary from May to August.
Christ doesn't seem to have come as a baby. He came as an embryo, then a fetus, then a baby. And, according to the Bible, He was the creator of the universe, giving up His exalted position to become one of us.
The graphic is from NASA.
Thanks for looking! Isn't God a great artist?
While positioning myself to attempt capturing a pair of Stonechat by some gorse last week I accidentally spooked this Buzzard from a tree. I remember being disappointed that it flew in front of the low Sun as I sprayed away, so I was quite relieved when looking at the back of camera to see a pleasing rim-lighting effect around its feathers.

After a 3 hour shoot across the city i decided to climb up the Willemsbridge for a wide shot. It was freezing cold and i almost could not use my fingers to operate the camera. Standing there in the middle of the night with nobody near or around and waiting for a boat to pass, i felt like i was the king of the city for a moment :))
