It is difficult to realize how great a part of all that is cheerful and delightful in the recollections of our own life is associated with trees. ~Wilson Flagg
Just realized I have been on flickr for 5 wonderful years!! What a joy it has been, I have learned so much from looking at such beautiful photos! I have met the most wonderful, kind hearted people from all over the world! Many of you have been with me through the loss of my three dogs Rusty, Goober and Miss Penny over the last few years. You helped pull me through, and for that I thank you. I have never read an unkind word or been made to feel uncomfortable by a flickr member until recently. Problem solved, blocking someone is a beautiful thing!!
I just realized that 51 of my photos made it to explore. In all honesty, I don't care about explore at all anymore (honestly, have you seen most of the front pagers these days? Either I have spent way too much time on this site, or something is not right with this algorithm), but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate the support my flickr contacts have given me. Really, thank you everyone! :)

I just realized I haven't posted any picture this year 2024 and my niece asked for a photo session and here we are.
Thank you all for your appreciation.

As we visited parts of Illinois we realized how much further advanced Spring was there. It seemed very promising.
Here is a big announcement...
NO LCD!!!
I actually used the viewfinder on my camera! (Gasp!)
I had avoided the viewfinder since I have such a hard time opening one eye while closing the other. But a thought occurred to me the other day to just keep the both eyes open. It works!! Upon researching, I realized that this "eyes open" technique isn't new or unusual--but I'm certainly glad it's an option for the "wink-challenged" people like me. ;)
I just realized that this is the first square self-portrait I've uploaded since day 365.
I couldn't chose between 3 edits of this so- Black and White on Facebook and bluish BW on Tumblr.
As Sarah was giving me a ride back home after shooting the last photo in my stream we were talking about wanting to shoot in Bannack, a ghost town a few hours away from us, and we were talking about how (relatively) close Whitney Justesen was to us. When i got home I got a message from Whitney telling me that she was going to be in Bannack the next day shooting. Such a perfect coincidence! I texted Sarah and within an hour we had planned a mini-roadtrip!
Bannack was such a cool place, so many abandoned buildings that were completely open to be explored, such as this hotel and a school house. Definitely need to go back soon.
Realized I didn't have a photo focused on this on my stream, so here it is.
I've had this little guy for quite a while now. It's by far one of my favorite tanks of the war.
Enjoy!

There were more than two. Taken around sunset, at the Santa Monica Pier. Yes, at first I thought they were sharks when I first saw the fins, then they started jumping in sync and only then I realized they were dolphins.

i realized that if you're shooting from a steep corner on top an unfinished building, you dont have much time to worry much about your horizon lines....
Despite the lack of a safety shoes and a helmet, we were given 5 minutes by the person in charge of the construction and took the lift to the 27th floor. i wasn't even contented that i took the stairs to the 29th. i was shaking when i tried to look down from where i was standing... this is the thrill of being on top -- the risks, the difficulties and the efforts just to get a shot... but it is worth it... even if i have a lot of pictures with unacceptable horizon lines, i will take more attention to it next time...
Sometimes you don't realize what you have in your photos until you upload them. Two bees were on this water lily at Fairchild Tropical Garden.
The worker is resting in pediatrics room during his shift of cleaning the street after explosion. At 15th of May the rocket launched from Gaza by Hamas fell down in Ramat Gan.
I just realized that my Steam Sunday post from earlier in the week never uploaded so here it is belatedly...just a wider take on this scene from New England's own little steam Mecca.
For five weeks before Christmas the Valley Railroad (dba Essex Steam Train and Riverboat) runs an astonishing amount of holiday trains branded as the North Pole Express. Most are steam powered and this requires all three of their steam locomotives to be under steam at once. Excepting the Strasburg Railroad I don't believe there is anywhere else in the United States where it is even possible for three standard gauge locomotives to be under steam at once. But here, every weekend, it is a regular occurrence as the railroad runs 13 sold out departures between 2 and 8 PM every Sat and Sun (only 9 on Tue-Fri) using four consists one of which is led by one of the road's center cab GEs.
Through some fortunate twist of fate I only live a bit over an hour away from this magical place so every year I make a trip or two down just to soak it all up.
The 2:30 PM departure to the North Pole has just departed the Essex depot and is crossing Main St. / Route 154 near MP 4.1 on the old New Haven Valley Line. In charge and putting on a nice show is Valley Railroad #3025, a China Railways SY class 2-8-2 that was built in 1989 by the Tangshan Locomotive and Rolling Stock Works for Pennsylvania's Knox & Kane Railroad where it spent its life until that railroad's demise following the collapse of that lines signature attraction, the Kinzua Viaduct. It was purchased by the VRR in 2008 and was rebuilt as a functional replica of a New Haven J-1 'Mikado' locomotive like the type that once plied this line in local service and re-numbered 3025, one number above the last of the original class on the NYNH&H.

“Oct 5, 2020 at 8:59:59am, I Was Enchanted” A 20 year dream realized. On Oct 5th I was packed up a ready to go with two of my hiking buddies to head out for a 9 day high mountain fall color trip to chase the golden large before the snows came. We were all packed up for car camping, so we could climb a trail for sunset, night hike out, and sleep in the cars, then move to another location and repeat. But we had a dream to score a walk up permit to go to the Amazing Enchantments. I have been lucky enough to score a permit to backpack the Enchantments 6 different times in my 20 year career as a professional photographer, but I have never been able to capture a shot of Prusik Peak and Gnome Tarn with the Golden Larches. I even made it up one other time during Golden Larch Time, but there was already two feet of snow on the ground and Gnome tarn was buried, so no shot. So at 5am on October 5th, the three of us all manned our computers hoping to see the lottery permits for the week pop up, as they release them randomly between 5am -9am. We had all given up, we hat not even seen a core permit pop up. I got it in my head that they might release some at the very last second. I refreshed the screen, put in the pertinent information, and hovered over the last number, and entered it at 8:59:59, and 16 permits popped up, and I snagged one for us! They were gone in less than 5 seconds. Oh My God! We are going to the Enchantments! I texted my two buddies, they could not believe it! So change of plans, now we all had to pack up our backpacks and head to Icicle Creek to prep for the hike the next day. And would a first day hike it was. I carried a 62 Pound Pack, 14 miles, something like 6000 feet of elevation gain, to arrive at this spot just in time for Alpenglow. And finally I realized a 20 year dream to capture this shot and Put it In the Bank!!! Shout out to the two guys that joined me on this adventure, Bryan Moore and Randy Gemar. What an adventure it was to see the Enchantments again, the larch were unbailable! Thank you so much for looking, much more to come

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have. Make the Now the primary focus of your life.
Eckhart Tolle
If you just realize what I just realized,
Then we'd be perfect for each other
and will never find another
Just realized what I just realized
we'd never have to wonder if
we missed out on each other now.
Realizing that Monday September 29th is National Coffee Day, Wonder Woman takes a moment to celebrate! Whether it's the aroma, the energizing boost, or just the ritual of drinking coffee, many of us can't start the day without it!
Even though she makes good money at the IADC, Diana prefers to brew her own coffee at home.
I didn't realize that experience and camera gear can make such a huge difference. But it does. My next in my restored building series is the Flatiron building in Toronto. However I am not happy with the outcome so Toronto bound I go to redo the composition. Using my new camera and my new top secret technique that I developed I know the outcome will be stunning..Stay tuned. for now here is a sample I am working toward.
Realized I had not taken proper advantage of the Michigan fall color so I grabbed some of the last leaves of the season and started floating them on the pond. Especially liked that this leave was likely once on the tree in this reflection. 305
I realize that places must change, but sometimes nothing makes me feel better than a little piece of the past. And this church is definitely well preserved. I knew the priest & nuns... at first by going to JHS there, and then working close by.
Yes. I realize I don't cooperate here thematically, and it annoys folks interested only in a certain kind of content. I have no excuses to give you. Whether or not some themes are more "Flickr popular" than others; whether or not my skill level/approach in some genres is much more refined than others, I don't enjoy any one genre enough to ignore whatever else feels interesting enough to photograph/share. So, um, take it or leave it. :)
There are moments which mark your life. Moments when you realize nothing will ever be the same and time is divided into two parts, before this, and after this...

Switzerland in the 60s
After giving it careful thought, we realized our home felt too empty without a kitty, and Little Burrito was depressed. Last week we went to a shelter and looked at all the cats. I was especially taken with Domino (who was named Raspberry at the shelter) but the moment wasn't quite right so we went home and thought about it.
Yesterday morning Jim said let's go find a cat. We had considered a younger cat but when I called he was reserved. I decided we should go and take another look at Raspberry. When I went into the Senior Cat Room, she came right up to me and purred, and when i sat on the floor, she climbed up on my lap so decision made -- I wanted to bring her home with us.
She's had an interesting life. She was adopted from the shelter as a kitten back in 2009. In 2014 she was returned as her family had moved to a home which did not allow pets. She was adopted again in 2015, but in August of this year once again her family had to move and she was returned. (And no negative comments please about someone moving to a no-pet place -- the rental housing market is very tight in this area and it is extremely difficult to find a rental which will take pets. I give both her former families credit for returning her to the shelter rather than just abandoning her.)
Our application was approved, we paid her bail money and made a donation to the shelter, and brought her home with us. On the way home Jim said if we were going to change her name we'd better do it quickly, and I realized her markings reminded me of Ruth's beloved Domino and so we named her in honor of him.
A fun thing is that the local newspaper has a Friday Pet of the Week column, for which the various shelters are allowed to post a photo and information about two of their adoptable pets. They have to provide this information by Wednesday. Raspberry and a little dog named Millie were planned to be this shelter's featured Adoptable Pets, but yesterday, both got their Home for the Holidays. Yay!!!
I realize that I don't match up to my many contacts with superb rare bird image shots , am I jealous blood right I am , best I can do.

I didn't realize that I had blown out the chimney area with my strobes until I got home and was pissed that we could have spent so much time outside in the cold for nothing. I used some other shots where the strobes misfired to overlay the blown areas and tone things down a bit. I also changed the color balance to make the white light look as if it were orange-red to seem as if it were coming from a fire.
strobist: long exposure of about 100 seconds, 2 sb-24s fired from cheap ass (never using them again) ebay radio poppers both inside the chimney structure. My ever patient assistant, Lauren, light painted the top of the chimney with a Petzl headlamp (hence the bluish tones).

i'm back home for the summer now, and have been playing around all day with my brother Zev's Wacom tablet. i'm thinking of making a series out of this... what do y'all think; would you be interested in seeing that?
I didn't realize it's been so long since I shared a photo of the beautiful Pacific Northwest, so I hopefully will liven up everyone's drizzly Saturday afternoon with this July shot of Mt. Hood and a dash of Aurora. It took a little over 1,500 seconds of exposure time for the star trails to show up, but hopefully a lot less longer for everyone to enjoy!
when we realize what a amazing miracle Mother Nature is
then we will understand the meaning of life
then....
yes then we will tilt our heads back and laugh till to the sky ;)
enjoy the moment my friends

Problem is that I'm a noob in composition and this ship is very big...so sorry for the picts again...
Merci à Pierre pour la typo...
I realized after making this that David Luna (Ranger of Awesomeness) and I had the same idea for the tires.
I made this to go with my 5-wide German Schwimmwagen.
Just got these today and realized that frank had WAY too much black on him so I repainted his pants to a dark grey. I also repainted DD's eyes to a lighter red. I plan on making a diorama for the roof scene from season 2 which is why DD is chained up and has the gun
This self portrait took much longer to realize than anticipated.
- 1, create slide in Keynote with jumbled camera terms.
- 2, take a photo of the slide with a film camera on B&W film so it will project nicely.
- 3, develop, dry, trim, and mount frame into slide carrier for the projector.
- 4, set up the old Argus projector, using a lampshade as a temporary replacement for my head (ya, I'm THAT guy at the party).
- 5, shoot, shoot, and shoot some more until you think you have a shot that somewhat aligns with the vision in your head. Speaking of vision... I still see spots out of my right eye from that darned projector ;)
- 6, post to flickr!
Thanks for EXPLORE! 17 January 2014 #31
I realized while continuing this project that I definitely enjoy doing schoolwork when it feels like personal work more than anything else. I started this project as a personal thing but showed it in class, which led my teacher to tell me to continue. I took another three photos for this series yesterday but this is the only one I really like. So you may or may not see the rest.
However, I probably can and will post little previews of the others on my Instagram so you should definitely go follow me there. And go "like" my Facebook page as Im starting a small little giveaway soon in celebration of being near 1,000 likes!
While looking through some old black and white negatives, I realized I had taken two shots from this point. Both were exposed on May 25, 1969.
The first one is the left half of this composite shot. The track on the far left was the mainline through the yard. Until 1959, passenger trains 5-6 used this route to reach the joint N&W-L&N passenger station, about 2500 feet behind me. The platform on the far left is part of the wooden freight station. The yard office was in this end of the building. Two N&W cabooses (both blue) are shown.
The right half of the image shows N&W SD40 No. 1607, Alco C828 No. 1122, and another SD40. The Alco was most likely one of those leased (and eventually purchased by) the Chicago & Northwestern for ore hauling duties. No L&N power was in Norton at that particular time.
The light-colored building on the right was for the mechanical department, but years later (after termites and rot claimed the old freight station and yard office) it became the yard office and crew quarters.
Today, all facilities at Norton are closed. The yard sees an occasional unit train (loaded or empty) awaiting a crew change.
I just realized I had never posted a Milky Way photo for May. I shot this one just as the moon was setting, conditions were below average. I was hoping for better conditions for the new moon, but we have been nearly 100% overcast for the last two weeks. Single shot, no stacking.

I realized that I've been lacking uploads - a lot. So, went fiddling through files to see if I had anything that was of a quality worthy of posting, Well, here ya go. I'll be getting quite a few more up in the coming days...
Back in the spring of 2018, 2923 drills 324 of Gibson Yard in Hammond. If I remember correctly, this night was the perfect one to make the mile walk from home up to the yard - something like 68 degrees is just too great to not enjoy.
She realized then that there was nowhere on the earth she could get away. Those countless gripping hands, laid hold of every strand of her mind, of her being, then quickly pulled in unison. Everything she was came apart in that moment, twirling away into nothingness, leaving only darkness.
This, they could work with.
Realizing how COMPLETELY dumb it was to be standing on the peak of one of the tallest buildings in the neighborhood during this. I'm seriously thankful to God none of us got hurt. On the way back to my car a tree in front of the apartment got struck by lightning. Like 5 minutes after we got off the roof.
This is the view to the south. (The previous view was Northwest.)
More to come.

"Life is"
- a poem by Mother Theresa
Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is life, fight for it.

I realized I was sick of my Katie Jump Rope collection sitting on the shelf collecting dust. I decided to cut into it and am using the Swoon pattern. The pattern calls for making these stars with just 2 colors, but I wanted to try a scrappy version and love how it looks in this block.
This was not the easiest block to come together. I am not a sewist that likes patterns and I realized you need to have a PERFECTLY consistent 1/4 inch to make this block perfect. But, I still love this pattern because it lets me have big pieces of my beloved fabric and not have to chop it up too much.
There's one mistake in this block (a half square triangle placed the wrong direction) but I'm leaving it in and didn't unpick it so that I won't have the pressure of this having to be THE perfect quilt. Also I see some prints I could have placed differently to mix it up better, but I'm just going to go with it and know that the whole quilt will be sufficiently scrappy to make it all mix in!
Don't look too closely or with a critical eye - also it hasn't been trimmed up! ;]
This is a huge block - if you aren't familiar with Swoon, this is a 24" x 24" block, you make 9 of these huge guys for a square quilt. Can't wait to sew more!
