Way back (and I mean WAY BACK) in my existence there was certainly a fascination with how females looked. But, of course, that was an impossibility for me. There was simply no way!
But gradually, as I aged, it dawned on me that some sort of femulation was possible. And so, today, here I am.
So, to address my own question: Yes, sort of
Another point that moderns do not grasp, is that there is no reason for necessarily seeking the cause of a phenomenon on the plane where it is produced, and that on the contrary one has to consider the possibility of a non-material cause, above all when it is a question of a phenomenon whose beginning is unknown a priori, and unknowable materially, as is the origin of living beings.
Transformist evolutionism is the classical example of the bias that invents "horizontal" causes because one does not wish to admit a "vertical" dimension: one seeks to extort from the physical plane a cause that it cannot furnish and that is necessarily situated above matter.
Even within the order of physical causes, one has to take into account the simultaneous presence of the immanent metaphysical Cause: if a seed is the immediate cause of a plant, it is because the divine archetype intervenes in the physical causality. Geometrically speaking, causes can be situated on the "concentric circles" that constitute the Universe, but other causes - and with all the more reason the First Cause - are situated at the Center and act through the radii emanating from it.
The divine Intellect contains the archetypes of creation, and it is starting from this Cause - or from this causal system - at a given cyclic "moment" of the cosmogonic process, that the "ideas" are "incarnated" which will be manifested in the form of contingent creatures.
We do not ask physicists to be content with an anthropomorphic and naive creationism; but at least it would be logical on their part - since they aim at a total and
flawless science - to try to understand the traditional ontocosmological doctrines, especially the Hindu doctrine of the envelopes (kosha) of the Self (Atma): a doctrine that, precisely, presents the Universe as a system of circles proceeding from the Center-Principle to that extreme limit which for us is matter.
For human science does not derive solely from the need to know and to register; more profoundly its origin is the thirst for the essential; now the sense of essentiality attracts us toward shores other than those of the limited plane of physical phenomena alone.

Has anyone seen a larva or pupa like the one on this spider's abdomen? First time I've seen anything like this. Could it be parasitism?
Photo taken in mixed woodland in Central Scotland. I think the spider is a Garden Cross, length about 10 - 12mm including legs.

The phrase "when pigs fly" (alternatively, "pigs might fly") is an adynaton—a figure of speech so hyperbolic that it describes an impossibility. The implication of such a phrase is that the circumstances in question will never occur. The phrase has been used in various forms since the 1600s as a sarcastic remark.
An example occurs in the film The Eagle Has Landed: an Irish secret agent working for the Nazis replies to a German general speaking of Germany's shortly winning World War II, "Pigs may fly, General, but I doubt it!" Later, when the Irishman sees German soldiers parachuting before an attack, he says to himself, "Mother of God! Flying pigs!"
Similar phrases in English include "when hell freezes over", the Latin expression "to the Greek calends", and "and monkeys might fly out of my butt", popularized in Wayne's World skits and movies. They are examples of adynata. In Finnish, the expression "kun lehmät lentävät" (when cows fly) is used because of its alliteration. In French, the most common expression is "quand les poules auront des dents" (when hens will have teeth). In medieval Hebrew manuscripts, the expression "until the donkey ascends the ladder" is attested.
Weber Spur Trail, Labagh Woods, Chicago, Illinois.
The Weber Spur Trail is an abandoned Union Pacific Railroad spur track. Several years ago the rails were removed resulting in a rustic trail full of wildlife & vegetation. There are plans to make the trail a multi-use bike/hiking trail, but those plans are in the early stages.

The Story
Walking around in Oia on the island of santorini during a trip to Greece in October of 2010. We came upon many beautiful spots. It seems like most of the island was made to be photographed. Santorini must be one of the most picturesque places in the world. Every vase, boat, and flower arrangement seems like they were set up for a perfect composition.

About Santorini "White and Blue"
---------------------------------------------------------
The most common label that sticks with Santorini is “a classic blue and white”. Even a superficial glimpse at a photo or a video clip from the island will justify Santorini’s unique label. Whether you have never been there or not, you will recognize Santorini because of its picturesque serene white villages built on the top of high cliffs, cozily embedded between the blue skies and vivid blue sea and spotted by the blue dots of the domed churches.There is no white like Santorini’s white. However the white is the predominant color of all the Cyclades islands, it has a particular nuance in the volcanic island of Santorini. The old inhabitants of the islands chose white for a reason: not only because it has been one of two sacred Greek colors, but because it was also the best contrast to the rocky, green deprived land. In Santorini, somehow, this “cycladic white” got a particular nobless. Santorini’s whites are accentuated by the simple yet amazing architecture. The seemingly endless stairs weave through tiny passages and connect seductively cave-like houses of whitewashed stones, and together melt into the eternal sea of white waves – crisp and shiny in the mornings in the mornings and tamed and laced by departing sun just before the dusk. In the night of the full moon, Santorini white is as mythical and mystical

Oia , (pronounced ee-ya) a tiny village in the north of Santorini, is a postcard come alive. The intense, brilliant whites - the walls and steps, the odd houses that arise in a seemingly haphazard cluster from the sheer volcanic cliffs is a cubist painter's inspiration and delight . Contrasted with the deep azure blue of the sea and the milder sky, its almost surreal, but dazzlingly beautiful.
The map shows the exact location.

I am in a constant dilemma. Will i continue using analogue gear..or not and move completely to digital. It is a question of time and money.
The fun of analogue is here, the fun of digital is also here. But i cannot invest money in both so a decision has to be made in the (near) future.
ow btw press 'L' please, much better on black ;-)
All flower photos have already been taken. Many times over. Why do we keep shooting them?.. Because they are nice :)

One reason is that there are so many different womanly looks that I want to experience; and that takes time.
And a corollary of that: There were so many years wasted when I would not, or could not, dress that I am making up for lost opportunities.
And, at the risk of being morbid, when I realize that the end is a lot closer than the beginning, I also realize I don't have any time to waste. Losing 15 months during the pandemic was bad enough, but beyond my control. I am in control now.

I don’t belong to the HBM (Happy Bench Monday) group, but I’ll occasionally post a bench on Monday and a fence on Friday (HFF). BUT my question is.....’Is it truly about the bench or where the bench is setting?’

I started uni today. It was awesome! I love my classes and the atmosphere.
But I also found out Shepard Fairey may be going to jail for lying to the court about trying to get rid of evidence for the Obama hope poster. This is all going to sound very childlike and uninformed coming from me but having to go to jail for lying about using a photo? What a complete waste. He has a family, he inspires so many and does actual good to the world. But instead he's being potentially punished with a 6 month jail sentence. It really makes you wonder what the point of a lot of things is.
These letters are from a art project I did about 2 years ago inspired by Barbara Kruger. They felt about street art-ish so here's my photo for the day.
“The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is ''What does a woman want?''” ~ Sigmund Freud
I'm a jeans type of woman. But... I love the pretty things in life too. This little lamp brings me memories of a fun outing with friends to Canton's First Monday Sale in 1988. The wedding bouquet not only makes me smile because it is from my wedding to Hadley, but it was also a gift from my friend Cheryl. Good memories, friends, love, and beauty: that's what a woman wants. Oh, and a new camera lens every now and again!
Our Daily Challenge: Feminine.
I have a few questions.
That the advertisement pictures showcase different versions of the actual outfits is no surprise. I even have a few of them found in the wild, so no questions about that.
You think the swimsuit is the same, but it's reversed! But speaking of the swimsuit;
Question One: What's the little purple sun chair for?
Is it a hand or foot rest?
Is it a tiny sun bed for the sun lotion when it's naptime?
Or will she gently put her hindquarters on it if the sand's too hot?
Question Two: Regards the "Executive Wear".
The hat... That's quite an balancing act, or does it require glue?
And to the final question that isn't really a question but a statement: Laser Ball Gown!! Isn't that awesome or what?!
I want meself a Laser Ball Gown so I can look spiffy while shooting laser balls.

Conclusion: meh.
Found hogging the road at the Wolf River Restoration Area near Collierville, Tn. Note one antenna seems to be missing. Actually, it is just pointing down and cannot be seen.

Normally, I would try to avoid posting similar images so close together as I posted "In Awe" not so long ago, but I was thrilled with how this panorama turned out. The rink in Millennium Park is a special place - Chicago's analogue of Rockefeller Center. I got a great question from a windy pixel fan about the image I posted previously. Tom emailed me with a similar, awesome picture and asked what white balance I used. This and the previous image is one of the perfect examples of blue hour sky, sodium vapor, tungsten orange lights, and daylight white balance. During twilight, a daylight white balance will give you an incredible blue cast to everything (just like your eyes see).
I like how the rink looks like a big smile.
While waiting in line at McDonalds for our Mocha Frappas, I noticed the reflection of our car in the back hatch of the Jeep ahead of us. I've taken thousands of photos of cars at car shows and almost all of them have reflections to be dealt with one way or another. But I don't recall ever seeing one upside down like this. Maybe there's a simple explanation but I can't figure it out. Can someone tell me how this happens? Or is this just another strange 2020 thing?

The Winner of Question 8 is....Fee! Yay.
Question 9: in the movie A Christmas Story the brothers are called Ralphie and _____?
I get a decent number of questions asking me what I shoot with, do I use X or Y or whatever... so to make it easier I recently just took a photo of what's in my camera case, and then dumped it out so folks could get an idea of what tools I use (admittedly some more than other's).
This is what I keep my camera gear in... if you want to see the contents dumped out see this photo where it's easier to see everything as in this photo there is a lot of stuff that is buried under something else.

Tech Details: If your curious how one takes a photograph of all of one's photo gear the answer is you borrow a friends camera from down the street (a Rebel XT/350D with a Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L lens).
Lighting provided by one White Lighting X1600 to camera right difused through a large softbox, with Westcott 42" Silver reflector to camera right to just bring in some fill light. A short roll of White Savage Seamless just hanging off the knuckle arm of an Avenger C-Stand (easier and quicker than getting out a big background stand). Triggered by a good ole-fashioned sync cable connected to a Nikon AS-15 on the hot shoe since the RebelXT/350D lacks a PC Sync connector.
