This is my pick of the set. I liked the scene and building but it needed something more. In a flash of inspiration, I asked my girlfriend (now wife) to go inside, stick her leg out and keep it moving while I made a long exposure blurring her leg somewhat. That gave me what I was looking for: a question mark within the shot
I’m often asked “do you ever find two snowflakes alike?” – this is a question that I always answer “absolutely not” to, but many snowflakes feel like different feathers off the same bird. View large!
This giant snowflake has a stark resemblance to one posted earlier in this series, Number 21. The same types of growth patterns exist because they were forming in nearly identical conditions, but as soon as you dive into the details you’ll see that these snowflakes have much less in common, starting with the bottom branch. Clearly a split crystal design starting as a column and transitioning to plate growth, this bottom arm is from a different originating hexagonal plate.
Because this large branch is growing on a different parallel plane to the other branches, it allows them to overlap. Where the rest of the snowflake fights for real estate and branches often fuse together trying to grow as much as possible, the bottom snowflake is free to grow beyond the cage created by the neighbouring branches. It’s easy to spot this overlap where the largest set of side-branches are. This region is also a little brighter because there are more layers of ice reflecting light back to the camera.
Interestingly, this bottom branch also has inverted features from the other five, something very commonly seen with split crystals. The majority of the branches all have their surface details facing away from the camera, visible in a muted form because we’re seeing them through the ice. The front surface of the snowflake has very little detail. The bottom branch has the ribs and ridges facing the camera, giving it a less mirror visible with many darker details at different angles that aren’t reflecting the light back to the camera as easily.
The differences at first appear subtle, but the more you study a snowflake the more you realize its uniqueness. The same is true on small hexagonal plate crystals, often more so because it’s easier to compare simple features directly than it is to account for complex differences – like pointing out the differences in two images of white noise.

In a dream it would seem
I went to those who close the open door
And turning the key I sat and spoke to those
inside of me
They answered my questions with questions
And they pointed me into the night
Where the moon was a star painted dancer
And the world was just a spectrum of light
They reached to my centre of reason
And pulled on the touchstone that's there
The shock of that light had me reeling
And I fell into the depths of despair
Turning the key I sat and spoke to those
inside of me
They answered my questions with questions
And they set me to stand on the brink
Where the sun and the moon were as brothers
And all that was left was to think
They answered my questions with questions
And they pointed me into the night
And the power that bore me had left me alone
To figure out which way was right
Thank you .. Manfred Mann's Earth Band 😎👍
It's a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust

That keep us together
On our visit to the Ol Pejeta Wildlife Conservancy, we observed a group of chimpanzees at the chimpanzee conservancy. One of the Chimps that caught my eye was this fella! Laying in the Sun and enjoying the breeze, it appeared he was thinking about some deep philosophical questions! Apes are amazing aren't they?
Question for anyone who might know from scanning negatives. In the centre of the tree you can see some whiteness where the clouds should be dark, is that a known issues of scanning?
Hi Everyone!! We are still running crazy busy!! We set up our photo exhibit at Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge this past Sunday and that exhibit will run through the end of April!!
While Linda was setting up the exhibit with a close friend, I went out on the wildlife drive to see what I could find with another friend!! To our surprise, Ann and I saw something very special while we were shooting!! We were the first to see and photograph the first North American record of a Great White Pelican ever seen in the Americas!!
I knew when it was flying in it was totally different and much larger than our American White Pelican!! As it flew in to land, I took 33 images and then many as it setting in with the American White Pelicans!! It was a new species for me (and everyone else in the Americas) and my first rare bird alert!! Before we left that day the park biologist and many others had joined us!!
The bird has made national news and now the question begins on what was the origin of this amazing bird! It had no signs of bands or zoo tags at all!! This bird in native to Europe, Africa and Asia!! It was a fun day and we have been interviewed and provided images to everyone from Audubon, ABA, Cornell, to the National Park Service!! Timing is everything and we were in the right place at the right time!!

Depuis plus de cinq décennies, l'artiste conceptuel Bruce Nauman expérimente divers médias, dont la vidéo, la performance, les œuvres sur papier, le néon, la photographie et l'installation sonore. Au cœur de son œuvre énigmatique se trouvent des questions fondamentales sur le corps, le langage, le contrôle, la surveillance et les dichotomies de l'expérience humaine. Nauman imprègne souvent ses œuvres d'ironie et d'humour, crée des jeux de mots verbaux et visuels troublants et incite le spectateur à reconsidérer sa propre physicalité. Sa vidéo phare de 1968, Walk with Contrapposto, offrait une interprétation audiovisuelle de la posture classique éponyme. Dans des œuvres au néon textuelles telles que Life, Death, Love, Hate, Pleasure, Pain (1983), Nauman explore les possibilités physiques et métaphoriques du langage abstrait. L'artiste a fait l'objet d'importantes expositions au Whitney Museum of American Art, au Museum of Modern Art, au Centre Pompidou, à la Kunsthalle de Bâle et à la Tate Modern, entre autres. Il a été présenté dans cinq éditions de la Documenta et a remporté le Lion d'or à la Biennale de Venise en 1999. Aux enchères, les œuvres de Nauman ont atteint des prix à sept chiffres.
For over five decades, conceptual artist Bruce Nauman has experimented with diverse media, including video, performance, works on paper, neon, photography, and sound installation. At the heart of his enigmatic oeuvre are fundamental questions about the body, language, control, surveillance, and the dichotomies of human experience. Nauman often imbues his works with irony and humor, creates unsettling verbal and visual puns, and encourages the viewer to reconsider their own physicality. His seminal 1968 video, Walk with Contrapposto, offered an audiovisual interpretation of the eponymous classical posture. In text-based neon works such as Life, Death, Love, Hate, Pleasure, Pain (1983), Nauman explores the physical and metaphorical possibilities of abstract language. The artist has been the subject of major exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Centre Pompidou, the Kunsthalle Basel, and the Tate Modern, among others. He has been featured in five editions of Documenta and won the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale in 1999. At auction, Nauman's works have fetched seven-figure prices.

Island of Discovery - Questions (part 2/3)
Recovered from the journal of Reginald J. Schnuff; pirate, explorer, archaeologist, etc.
Journal Entry 457
“I awoke to the sound of waves and discovered that I wasn’t dead. Where was I and what happened? Then it came to me: the shipwreck. All my mates. Gone. Given up to the depths. I survived, but why? Here on an unknown island with no food or shelter. I was left to my fears and my racing heart. I was better off sinking in the sea.
I journeyed through the jungle for what seemed like days. Some places dark as midnight. Every sound made my skin crawl, and I knew that with every step I was being watched.
Still I found no signs civilization, and I couldn’t tell whether that was a good thing or not. The tales of cannibals and monsters even frightened a pirate such as I. The sea I could handle, but all alone on an unknown island, I wasn’t sure. But I would not go down without a fight that’s to be sure.
Then all of a sudden, I stepped into a clearing with what seemed to be a village taken over by the jungle. ‘So there are people here in this island?’ It appeared that nobody had been in these parts for a very long time, except for the lit torches. They cast an eerie glow over the buildings and dense foliage. I looked all around and couldn’t find a soul. ‘Where are the people?’ I wondered...”
Hey everyone this is the second part of my Island of Discovery miniseries. There will be a total of three MOCs in this series. Please let me know what you think of the MOC and the story!

After doing some serious research on the id of this bird, I came to no conclusion.
In early spring, at the same area, I saw two of them but never had time to take a shot. Because they flew almost right away, I thought they were Nashville Warblers. To my big surprise this week, I have seen them again. So that told me it was not a Nashville Warbler. It looks like a female Redstart to me but the yellow is very bright and all over the front which is not a female Redstart pattern. Also there is no pattern at all on the wings. I assume this is an adult as I have seen them in the spring. I have several shots but you can see the white and dark coloured pattern under the tail and some white patches on top of the tail..... I checked so many birds and still have no clue what it is. I would really appreciate your comments on that one. What do you think it is?
“Sky, why are you downside up?”
“It’s a clever ploy Bertie. I am trying to think of an answer to a question I have and I thought that if I was downside up, all my cleverness would be sure to be in my head where it needs to be.” Said Sky proudly.
“Wow! Did you think of that on your own Sky?”
“I did Bertie, and now I have to see if it works, so I can answer my questions.”
“Could I help you do you think Sky, only it feels a bit strange talking to fluffy kneecaps?”
“Maybe Bertie, after all you are known for your cleverness. I think I’ll stay like this though just in case you fail…again.”
“What is your question then Sky?”
“The man was talking to that screen picture thing he has and this hooman who he was talking to said they were having “Lunder and Tightening”. I was trying to work out what that is, do you know Bertie?”
“Lunder and Tightening, now let me think Sky. Eeermm, no sorry can’t help you with that one but then knowing hoomans, they probably don’t know themselves.”
Just then Icecap and Posh Bear came along and sat down beside them.
“Hi chaps, can either of you two help poor Sky before all his intelligence goes to his head and comes out of his ears?” Asked Bertie.
“I can’t see there being enough of it to make that happen to Sky.” Giggled Icecap.
“Well anyway, Sky wants to know what Lunder and Tightening is, as he heard the man’s screen hooman say it earlier.”
“What was actually said Sky?” Asked Icecap.
“Well, the man said it was sunny here and the screen hooman said they had Lunder and Tightening. I had a thunk and couldn’t work out what it was Icecap.”
“I think you must have misheard Sky; I think the screen hooman actually said Thunder and Lightning.” Declared Posh Bear.
“Well, I was close, so what is that then Posh?”
“Well, up high in the air Sky, higher than even the fluffiest white ship that floats on by, there lives lots of us bears that are waiting to be able to come down here, and give love and cuddles to a hooman and try to teach them some basics in intelligence. Well, every so often the food for them is late arriving and they have rumbly tummies and because there are so many of them it is very loud and we can hear it down here. Hoomans call that thunder. Now, to alert the food place that they are hungry and have rumbly tummies the bears switch the lights on and off and that causes flashes of light down here. Hoomans call that lightning. It is nothing to worry about Sky for the flashing lights always works and the bears get their food and then the rumbling stops.”
“Gosh! You are so clever Posh, you know everything.” Said Bertie clearly impressed.
“I know.” Said Posh smiling.
“Posh, how come you are so clever and yet don’t stand downside up like me?” Asked Sky.
“I don’t think it is necessary Sky, I should get back on your feet again.”
“Oh, I thought that because of what hoomans call gravy, everything travelled downwards and this was my plan to have all my intelligence where it needs to be.”
“No Sky, you have that wrong, hoomans don’t call it gravy, they call it gritty...I think.” Chipped in Icecap.
“Actually, it is called gravity and you don’t need to worry about that yet Sky. I have a good idea, let us see how much honey we have and break open a jar or two.” Said Posh Bear.
“Sounds like a plan, I’ll just nip to the freezer thingy and get some fish.” Said Icecap before realising that Sky and Bertie were no longer there.
“They never were that big on fish.” Mumbled Icecap shaking his head sadly.
