I visited Hidaka, Saitama, Japan to enjoy red spider lily. Hidaka is very famous place for the lily.

The weather was in single digits outside, but inside the Conservatory at Longwood Gardens all was toasty warm.
This is a red peony blossom from my sister's garden in Durham, North Carolina. While we were there, it seemed as if everything was in bloom.
Strobist info (for those who are interested). Because we were away from home I did not have all of the gear that I would normally use at home. There was no light stand, mounting kit nor a large soft box. Specifically for this kind of situation. I had recently purchased a small 8.6 inch square softbox called the Lastolite EZbox. It's small, light weight, very well made and attaches directly to the flash instead of an adapter ring. It contains two inner baffles which provide good diffusion. It's so small and light weight that it's easy to hand hold if the camera is on a tripod. It also folds up easily for storage and portability. For this shot, I hand held a YN560 attached to the Lastolite softbox, camera left, at 9 o'clock, about 4 inches from the flower. The flash was in manual mode, and was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. For fill light, my sister hand held a silver reflector disk at the right side. These boxes sell new for around $80. The flash can be purchased new for around $50. A pair of Yongnuo triggers which act as both trigger and receiver sell for around $33 or $16.50 each. This is pretty inexpensive by photography standards.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422
With a fortunate break in the weather, the RAF's Red Arrows were able to put on a superb rolling display at Blackpool.
Here, the nine BAe Hawk T1A's exit a loop in front of the crowd.
Red-shouldered Hawk - western form
Buteo lineatus elegans
I expected to see a lot of red-shouldered hawks in California but this was the only one that I got a good look at. Still, it's the best picture I have yet of the species.
i found this sweet paper and couldn't resist creating a journal! inside are decorative papers that hug each signature, and i used waxed linen thread and a 6-needle coptic binding to finish the book.
Remember Tina, the Rida I bought a while ago? I finally bought her a wig.
I was a bit disappointed at first because the wig looked way more red on Luts website, but I'm getting used to and I kinda like it.
I may change her eyes though, as the wig is lighter than I expected.
Anyway, I'm happy she has hair now ♥
Thingvellir National Park, Iceland. When your luck's in, your luck is in. This is one of a pair that came swooping in and onto a small stream in the middle of Thingvellir National Park. I knew they were diver as soon as I saw them in flight and thankfully they stayed long enough to yield some amazing views.
The United States Congress designated the Oregon Badlands Wilderness in 2009 and it now has a total of 29,261 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Oregon and is managed by the Bureau of Land Management.
The Oregon Badlands Wilderness holds a number of remarkable and exciting landforms and geologic features. Most of the area includes the rugged Badlands volcano, which has features of inflated lava. Windblown volcanic ash and eroded lava make up the sandy, light-colored soil that covers the low and flat places in these fields of lava. Dry River, active during each of several ice ages, marks the southeast boundary between two volcanic areas – Badlands volcano and the Horse Ridge volcanoes. Earth movements along the Brothers Fault Zone have faulted and sliced up the old Horse Ridge volcanoes, but not Badlands volcano. The Badlands formed in an unusual way. The flow that supplied lava to the Badlands apparently developed a hole in the roof of its main lava tube. This hole became the source of lava that built a shield volcano that we call the Badlands (technically, a rootless shield volcano). An irregularly-shaped pit crater at the top of the shield marks the site where lava flowed in all directions to create the Badlands. It is located about 1500 feet northeast of milepost 15 on Highway 20. Highway 20 traverses the shield along a straight, five-mile stretch between the intersections with an old section of Highway 20 (between mileposts 12.6 and 17.5). Soils in the Badlands were largely formed from ash associated with Mt. Mazama, now known as Crater Lake. A variety of wildlife species inhabit the area including yellow-bellied marmots, bobcat, mule deer, elk, and antelope. The southern portion of the Badlands Wilderness includes crucial winter range for mule deer. Avian species include prairie falcons and golden eagles.
