And this is yet another invasive species!!
NOT an obvious problem here... Not many to be seen....and beautiful in the eyes of many of us!
"Yellow iris, or yellow flag iris, is a perennial aquatic plant native to Europe, western Asia and North Africa. It was first introduced to North Americain the 1800s as an ornamental plant for ponds and water gardens. The plant has since spread to many waterways, including those in parts of southern Ontario. In addition to its use in gardens, it has been planted in wastewater ponds because it is known to absorb heavy metals.
Yellow iris can grow in both treed and open wetlands, along river and lake edges, and on floodplains. The plant spreads by seeds and by underground stems known as rhizomes that send out new shoots above the ground and roots below. Stands of yellow iris develop thick mats of rhizomes that can connect several hundred plants. Fragments of rhizomes that break off can also form new plants.
Range
The first recorded Canadian sighting of yellow iris was in Newfoundland in 1911. It was found in Ontario in 1940. Today it grows in most Canadian provinces, including parts of southern Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, the east coast of Prince Edward Island and the west coast of British Columbia. It is also found in many American states, and in temperate areas worldwide. Several American states ban it or list it as a noxious weed."
Track circuit problems to the south of Kingussie on 20th July caused several services to run late.
Here, 43181 and 43141 working 1H07 0835 Edinburgh to Inverness make their way out of the Highland station after slow progress through from Dalwhinnie.
In the station, 170413 sits with 1B22 1046 Inverness to Edinburgh - this was eventually caped at Perth due to the delays.
The long suffering car drivers had to endure a significant delay whilst all this took place, the poor lass in the leading car was already running late for her appointment.

If you have a problem, don't say it to "Anyone" because 20% of people don't care about it and the other 80% are glad you have it!!!

I told my wife at about 2pm in the afternoon that we’re going to have a great sunset tonight based on the clouds. At 5pm I got my gear and just started driving, in hunt for something interesting to accompany the sunset.
I have a problem with authority. Well, it’s not all authority, it’s the authority of those who 1. have little but think they have a lot, and 2. have it and abuse it. Obtaining this photo I ran into someone with #3. someone who didn’t appear to have any authority, but layed it on pretty thick.
Just down the road is Pt. Mugu Naval Air Weapons Station. A Navy base. Via public road, they have this display of retired Naval military air power, F-14 Tomcat, F-4, some missles, etc. (photo courtesy of driko. So you can just drive up here from the highway, park in the parking spaces provided and look at these jets and weapons.
You better not try to photograph them..
Literally within SECONDS of me pulling out my tripod, a dark brown piece-of-crap car, all beat up and making faulty noises pulls up diagonal right next to me. I think nothing of it as the mid-20s Hispanic man wearing a white undershirt and some baggy jeans gets out. I’m still getting my camera ready on my tripod.
Whats you doin bro??
Just shooting these jets at sunset.
Can’t do that
Why not, I accessed this point via public property and those guys over there were just photographing them too. There’s no signs anywhere that says you can’t take pictures
You’re on govt. property can’t shoot the flight line
And just who the hell are you? (now I’m getting pissed – random dude telling me I can’t take pictures)
I work on base and you’re on govt. property and you’re not allowed to shoot them
Do you have any military ID on you or a badge or something?
I don’t have to show you any ID
Then you’re not going to stop me taking pictures. I have about 10 minutes of sunset left.
So, I walk around him and start clicking off exposures. He jumps on his cell phone and starts talking:
White male, beanie cap, mid 20s (which I should have thanked him for), driving a silver Honda accord, California plate “XTRAMED” (I wish), being very hostile, etc
So he’s calling someone on me. That’s fine. I’m not going to lose this sunset. There really wasn’t much else to shoot here, so I start putting my gear back in my trunk.
Where you going bro? How come you getting out of here so fast?
I only have about 10 more minutes of this good light left and then the sunset is over. I’m hoping to find a barn or abandoned tractor or something around here.
Well I just called the MPs (military police) and they’re going to be here in a couple minutes
That’s fine, I’ll be shooting something else by then.
At this point, he’s standing directly behind my car as I start it. I notice he’s not moving, so I get out, this time, a bit more pissed.
You going to run me over bro?
If you don’t move, I’ll move you. (now feeling what it’s like to have both German & Irish blood in me)
I don’t have to move, I can stand wherever I want bro, it’s a free country
I also have a problem with anger management
This is where I was just about to formulate my next statement which would in an ideal world would have been something thought-out, creative and recited with a 1960s Clint Eastwood voice, “You’re about to see what my knuckles taste like, punk!”, but I wasn’t given the chance as the base Military Police showed up.
So the police shows up and he narks on me that I was being uncooperative and still took the photos, etc. And I told him yes, I entered this spot via public road and took these photos that several people have photographed over the years. The officer describes to me that technically I’m on govt property and photographing these planes in this direction is also photographing the base’s air strip (flight line) and the base commanding officer does not allow it. I told him that there were no signs that said this and unless otherwise stated, I can take photos anywhere I want via public property (which was about 10ft behind me). He understood and was calm about it. I even showed him my photos and he said I could keep them since I wasn’t using a 400mm lens to try and photograph some top secret stuff. But that other dude got away without me getting his information.
I’m generally a nice guy. I’m 99% happy most of the time. But don’t piss me off, cause I will go Chuck Norris on you.
The problem with a lot of these photos is, when the camera looks down, you can see my Boneless Chicken Fillets, so there's a bit of after-the-fact cleavage cropping going on.
I cannot play videos. Doing so will always lock up the system yielding the above blue screen of death! And, on occasion, it'll just freeze when it's sitting idle. I've tried a bunch of things, but so far no luck. The O/S is current and up to date, as is the BIOS, and drivers. HP has what appears to be good diagnostic tools built in, both to check H/W and S/W...ran them both, and it found nothing. The blue screen above always indicates that it is gathering information and will re-boot automatically...wrong, it does nothing and stays on 0 and requires a hard shut down and restart. I've looked for help on Google, lot's of suggestions and subsequent tries, but nothing I've tried has resolved the problem. Seems like a watchdog timer issue! Only a year and a half old, out of warranty, and I'm ready to put a bullet in it! The headaches started when new, and I didn't want to continue with McAfee anti virus program that was preinstalled on a trial basis. I preferred to go with Webroot, and after I chose not to continue with McAfee I was literally inundated with McAfee SPAM, and that continued for months. It almost seemed like a revenge that was built in, and triggered for me not signing up with it!
The Oceana Sirena was docked next to our hotel and wanted to leave but there was a small problem!
The ship was ready to depart but there was no one from the port there to unhook the gangway. There was an official looking lady there and from what I could gather she was either unwilling or unable to push the button to draw the gangway back. She and the crew were having a pretty heated discussion with the crew gesturing for her to push the button and her waving her hands in a "it's not my job" motion.
I watched this play out for about 15 minutes then someone finally showed up who could push the button and did so. The Sirena started pulling away the second the gangway was off the ship and I'm surprised the Captain didn't give the city a couple of departing horn blasts!
I had my little 24mm pancake lens on at the time since it would go down to f/2.8 and I had been previously trying to get some city night shots.
I wanted to state that this is not my house; although I wish it were. When we were kicking around the idea to move to Massachusetts, we flew out during Thanksgiving week to make sure we wanted Massachusetts to become our new home. I had been drooling over this house on a real estate website so we decided to drive out and take a look during an open house. First of all, the house is PINK! I loved the idea of living in a pink house. This house felt so right to me; the owner was selling because his girlfriend (I don't think they were married) had passed away and I believe he wanted to get away and start over. She was an artist and the walls were covered with her art. I will confess, I teared up when I walked inside. It was built in the late 1800's and had charm oozing out of its walls. We weren't in the position to buy at that time (we still had a house in Seattle to sell), but I'll never forget this house. So glad I took photos that day.
Very pleased to have been asked to show some of my photos in this art magazine. Gracias Octavio.

Ghosts of Feature Film: A Cinematography Project
This project is an experimental collaboration where shots were composed from a cinema standpoint, incorporating actors actually acting out scenes, in-character, instead of modeling or just being photographed. With Joseph Petito acting on-camera as the main star, I lensed different scenes from 7 films. Each sequence is part of that specific film's larger story, each film having it's own style and distinct types of shots & angles. We designed this project to create a cohesive cinematic illusion that these are real movie screenshots, but for movies that don't actually exist... hence Ghosts of Feature Film.

I’ve had a bit of a problem with my laptop recently but sort of have it fixed now so able to upload a new photo! This is a new dress that I purchased recently and is in a sort of jersey stretch fabric with a tie-dye pattern, very hippy! It hangs beautifully and has a handkerchief hemline. The white cardigan goes well with it and it’s become a favourite outfit.

“This planet has — or rather had — a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much all of the time.” - Douglas Adams
The problem with losing weight is that things that I thought would fit when I go thrift shop cruising turn out to be a little big. as is the case with dress. its fine for walking around but not very good for dancing in as things don't get held in place as they should.
Still my hair held up better than the dress did even if I do have a rather high forehead.
I actually like this look and I am a little disappointed about the dress but all is not lost as my wife is on a diet (hence my getting thinner) and the dress can go her way :-)
Makes a change.
Sucre's obitsu broke again ... So I played with her head and some ribbons again :D She looks like an easter egg haha
¿Sabes cuál es tu problema?
Ella está sentada en el suelo, bebiendo té y mirando sus fotos. Yo estoy de pie en medio de la habitación, bebiendo cerveza. Por supuesto no sé cual es mi problema.
- Tú problema es que no eres alguien con quien se pueda contar. No estás en las fotos.
- ¿ Que fotos?
- No importa que fotos porque no estás en ninguna. En las fotos sólo estoy yo. Cómo si estos fueran solo mis viajes.
...
- Pero no estás viajando sola. Yo estoy aquí aunque no esté en las fotos.
- Estás aquí es cierto, pero ¿ por que no estás en las fotos? ¿Te has parado a pensarlo?
- No me gustan las fotos.
- Te gustan las mías.
- Las tuyas sí. No me gustan mis fotos.
- Ese es el problema. ¿ Lo entiendes ahora ?.
- No.
- Tu problema es que dentro de muchos años podrás negarlo todo, porque no habrás dejado pruebas. Y eso me hace dudar de la fe que tienes ahora en nosotros.
- Hay algo que se me escapa.
- ¿Qué?
- Bueno, en realidad, todo. ¿ Quieres hacerme una foto?
- No quiero hacerte una foto. Quiero que estés en las fotos. Quiero que dejes de luchar por no estar en ellas. Quiero verte a mi lado, en Tokio, dentro de un montón de años.
Aún no sé cual es mi problema, pero supongo que no quiero estar en Tokio dentro de un montón de años. Supongo que dentro de un montón de años quiero estar en alguna otra parte.
Tokio ya no nos quiere.

HI ALL, To my AMAZEMENT!! I was able to get on the internet right now!! No clue why I haven’t been able to for more then a month. No clue how long I can stay on or if I will be able to get back on anytime soon.
My health is oretty lousy with allergies on top and pretty bad to. No covid I have been tested more then once. The guy in the next apartment seems likely to have covid, but refuses to be tested or mask up or isolate and the building doesn’t seem to be able to do anything. Guy next door says it isn’t his problem if anyone gets it they were ment to get it.
Anyway I have been stuck in my apartment due to health so I haven’t encountered him much so that is a good thing.
How are you all doing?? I hope well!! Enjoying life?? Doing anything fun this summer??
I better send this while I hopefully can.
Please take care and prayers for you all.
I hope you are all well. :)
Charles.
I do force this old body out for walks when i can and of course I need food so to get grocerys a very painful difficult thing to do. Ordering them to be dilivered is not affordable for me and not have internet accesse makes that not possible even if i could. But getting out some is good and thus these two pictures.
Hugs all. No clue when I'll be on again.
Charles.
...that I don't have a problem.... but not enough time... :-)
This is Yarow, one of the Dogs from Zbyszek Kunert (PL). I was in Austria last weekend - Sled Dog Race in Sportgastein.
Unfortunately there was a storm on Saturday so only on Sunday the stage was opened for the race.
A lot of dogs of course, a lot of fun with great people.
I will miss this kind of action on the weekend for the next months. It was a great pleasure to be on those events with the mushers and the beautiful dogs
When trying to read on my sunny patio in the evening with a cool, refreshing drink, I too often get distracted by the sunlight and how it moves across my borders. Normally I just sit and stare, and wish I had my camera.
Yesterday, I actually moved and grabbed my camera. Really hoping it doesn't become a habit; i want to keep enjoying my evening reading.
