Reminded me of Louise Bourgeois‘s spiders, and the War of the Worlds, and all those circularized landscapes. Ok, Lisette Model and countless Giants have included themselves in reflections, long before selfies became cliches. Nothing more to say in that genre? Maybe.
Did you know Al Jolson and Doc Watson recorded—very different—songs with this title? Me neither.
Perspective corrected, then cropped just so, flipped. Velvia, boosted in post. Happy Sliders Sunday! My #WPDPeople entry into Flickr’s World Photography Day contest.

This Arctic Skua reminded me of the conductor of an orchestra. He had been bathing in a fresh water pool and was just flapping himself dry. This photo also shows the white wing flashes and deep barrel chest characteristic of this species. In summer they don't catch their own food like most seabirds, but mug other seabirds for food they are carrying back in their crops. When chased panicking seabirds will regurgitate their last meal and the skua will gather it all in mid air with astonishing dexterity. I photographed this one on St Kilda where I had another encounter with a breeding Arctic Skua. When I walked high on the hill one Skua called at me to signal its displeasure as it had a chick somewhere nearby. I didn't want to disturb it so headed back down and as soon as I turned my back I felt a rush of air as it divebombed me. This one wouldn't attack while I was watching so I then had to walk backwards out of its territory. But one bird on Svalbard wasn't so timid and physically struck me as I was taking a photograph of it charging me. Here's the photo just before impact: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/9459817588/in/photolist
One final thing; Skuas have webbed feet like most seabirds but there is an optical illusion going on here that makes the feet look unwebbed. That is because the webs were almost submerged, but the "middle toe" is a reflection of the leg making the toes look normal.
Reminding me a bit of the current political division in our country... Two lovely American goldfinch males in breeding plumage.
……It is certainly cold at the moment but these Roses in the front garden seem to think otherwise!!! Taken on my phone for my iPhoneaday 365 and edited in Lightroom. Alan:-)……

i visited my sister AnneLouise (Hug a Horse) on Tuesday overnight so I could be closer to a conference I was attending. She had some gorgeous daisies in a vase and I thought her pretty shower curtain would make a colorful backdrop. She laughed when she found me taking photos in her bathroom...

Remind me not to keep this flood series going forever, but I do have a few more to post

I completely forgot I took this photo three hours after the fire started.
This was when the wind started to shift and I got all of this over my house and it started to rain black ash and embers.
This fire REALLY scared me as it was so big.
Didn't do anything to it except resize
Reminds me of the Hippopotamus song - "Mud, Mud, Glorious mud, Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood !"
Seen at Malibu Lagoon.
This memory popped up in Facebook reminding me of this day almost exactly three years ago.
This is what I wrote at the time:
Sometimes you just get lucky. Well it wasn't all luck. Frank Keller gave me a heads up that a monster 120N was due out of Whittier at 1130 AM, yesterday December 21, 2017.
Well, we all know it's the shortest day of the year so the window for shooting is pretty narrow with sunrise around 1030 and sunset at 3:30. But this train fit right in that time slot.
And three SD70MACs is unusual for the South end, but this train needed it. At 5900 ft and 12,000 tons of interchange traffic from both the CN and AML barges it was a "real" train. And, to top it off the MACs still had their festive holiday train garb.
This might have been my last chase of a freight train along Turnagain Arm and it was a good one.
As it turned out it was indeed the last freight I'd chase along the shores of Turnagain Arm after more than I could count over the prior decade. With three big units and leader still decked out with a holiday wreath and bows it looked like a giant Christmas present of freight from Seattle and Prince Rupert...and indeed it was a nice present for me too!
This simple location at MP 73 beside the Seward Highway south of Girdwood has always bee a favorite. And this is a nice bookend to one of my favorite early photos taken at exactly this same spot nearly a decade earlier: flic.kr/p/2iT64EA

I miss the way you say my name
The way you bend, the way you break
Your makeup running down your face
The way you fuck, the way you taste
When the curtains call the time
Will we both go home alive?
It wasn't hard to realize
Love's the death of peace of mind
Reminds me that we need to be careful of which path we are taking.
A little planning, wise thinking and a word of prayer will always help.

The bird reminded me of a computer game "Monkey Island 2", where one challenge is that the player has to feed a parrot to solve a riddle (and this bird shouts "Polly needs a cracker").
The image was taken in the zoo of Münster inside a house at ISO 6400. I find it quite remarkable how well the image turned out after post processing with relative low noise.
BTW - Most of the post processing was done with Affinity Photo (as some of my later images). Why Affinity Photo and not Photoshop? I "own" PS and it is a very good program, but I don't like the subscription model of Adobe. Affinity Photo is quite cheap (at the moment a discount of 50%) and I was curious how good it is. My conclusion is, that it is almost as good as Photoshop and in some special cases even better (e.g. file size is often smaller) and I don't feel so dependant on Adobe. Additionally I like to support a smaller company which offers such cool products for a low price.
Taken at the newly re-opened beautiful Elysion well worth a visit:)

Reminded me of a big pink rose, thorns and all. It's nice to see some bright color on a dark dreary December day in Iowa.
Sunday can be hard because it reminds us that our free time gets tampered down and we have to head to work the next day. This is why it is important to put on some Billie Holiday, make a milk bath with chamomile and herbs, and indulge in some self loving! How did you spend your Sunday?
Remind yourself it's ok to not be ok sometimes.
No one has the right to tell you that their life is harder than yours. No one has the right to invalidate your struggles because they "got through it fine." No one has the right to tell you to suck it up because other people have it "worse." Hardships are not comparable. Your struggles are real, legitimate, and just as difficult as anyone else's.
Sure, you will be ok, but take the time to NOT be ok too.
This reminds me somewhat of one of the lighthouses on the Oregon coast with the exception that the large one isn't there... Created with words in Wombo-Dream using Art Style HDR 2....
I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up lately. I've been really sick this last week. Anyway, I love Sharon Van Etten's new album, Remind Me Tomorrow and all of her others as well. She was so lovely to see again a couple of weeks ago on Valentine's Day at Thalia Hall in Chicago. I wasn't photographing with my camera but I was definitely photographing with my mind.

Reminds me of a Soldier Fly. Haven't identified it yet. I have finally run out of Cowpen Daisy insect macros.
Canyonlands
This rock reminds of either the bow of an old boat or some alien sci-fi landscape. Can't make up my mind.

Because I do not wish to show the world as it is and instead prefer
to show it as I wish it to be, I handcraft each and every picture in photoshop.
This picture is S.O.O.P!
Straight Out Of Photoshop CS3 - Because I care.
If you have to use this picture to decorate your hovel then don't forget
who created it. Drop me a line. Give me credit. Link to my photostream
Better yet, send me a check.
I'm always very busy, but not too busy for my friends.
Thanks for the visit and the comments/faves!
This reminded me of groups too busy looking in and around at one another they can't see nor accept others who are different but the same. Or simply don't want to. Echo chambers. Confirmation biases it's just them. Them versus the world. Mooooove on! Lol

I can't think of a better title but when looking at shots that I took of my city of Nottingham I once again remembered what I considered a case of inverted snobbery. I reminded Jonathan who does not take my side in this saying "it’s tough but you can't win so drop it " No support there then. I was born in Sneinton a suburb of Nottingham and attended Secondary school in the heart of Sneinton and when married lived on Windmill lane a two minute walk from Greens Windmill and all the four children I had were born in the house on Windmill lane which is THE very heart of Sneinton. I just did another check of the boundary map and just as I was informed by this eclectic group my present house is literally a cul de sac ( just to make this clear) on the wrong side of a boundary road. There is a group that make up The Sneinton Artists Quarter that have markets and stalls and events to market their various Arts. I print and frame my own photo's and asked to join this group. I was turned down flat as I live mere metres away on the wrong side of the street now :( Some times I am proud of where I was born and where all my mothers side of the family hailed from...I feel like the egg which was kicked out of the nest by a cuckoo lol...I know I am mixing metaphors but ' hey, I am accepted on Flickr and know my friends don't make distinctions like that ..Sue :)
Btw, you may find my use of a macro lens here odd...but it is still a prime lens and I like that length occasionally as it covers different options when I go into town...
