After the frustrations of last night I went for something much easier today. Plus the contents make it all worthwhile :)

Strobist: 2 x Yongnuo YN560IV right/left and to the rear of bottle. 1/128@24mm. 1 x YN560IV to the rear of bottle fired into white foam board gelled green 1/32@24mm. All triggered with Yongnuo YN560TX.

I went to Dundas ON to a hobby store to look for some model railroad figures. You will love what I found, but I have only done some preliminary shots. So on the way back I drove through Ancaster and visited a Falls I have not been to in awhile. This is Sherman Falls, One of my favourites in the Hamilton area.

Day 15: Refresh

#comics

I've tried a shot like this before, and hated the results I got. But, I'm pretty happy with this one - It could possibly be a little sharper, but I also think my vision is starting to go so I may be wrong on that.... either / or.

Strobist Info - Gelled SB600 into white background snooted at 1/2. 2nd SB600 left of frame at 1/5th (?) to light the peel a little. Lime slice in a vase filled with club soda pressed up against the glass from behind.

Lawson Dog Park

Its been too cold and to dead looking for me to have any motivation to shoot these past couple months. Its now warm, the bees are buzzing, and the flowers are out and making me sneeze. I figured tonight was as good a night as any other to get my butt out there again.

:) you're all so great you know that?

Terrible hot in Spain... And it's just June. I don't want to think about how it will be in August

I'm feeling refreshed this morning since another quarter at UW is under my belt.

I took this shot at the Japanese Garden in the Seattle Arboretum last weekend. The morning dew was still clinging to the leaf.

The hot dry weather continues. The flowers are going from strength to strength and this dahlia will soon be blooming.

Found a nice cement Buddha ($10!) at the thrift store to replace the one stolen last summer.

*Flickr is back up! Yay!

This was taken over the summer during a thunderstorm.

If you had my previous Flickr account you remember the balloon series. :)

The sun is setting and it's ending 'cause you're letting it go

Forgetting everything you already know

And it all goes to show that you're moving to slow

It will end up changing you, it will end up changing you

It's all coming alive

DESERT DREAM – OMAR AKRAM

I am a Bactrian Camel

oh yes, I'll have you know

my weight is borne equally

on my third and fourth toes

I am an even-toed ungulate

or so the story goes

I am far superior to

the one-humped dromedary

I'm from ancient Bactria;

I'm kind and soft and hairy

my fur is like a teddy bear,

but don't cuddle me; be wary!

I am silky soft like my ancestors

who travelled the Silk Road

climbing up high mountains;

cold; carrying their heavy load

or moving across inhospitable deserts;

screeching in camel code

I am feeling very lazy today

relaxing in the rain

it's stopped a little while;

these tourists are such a pain

leaning out their windows

taking my portrait again and again

I am sighing with contentment

as they pass me by

there is no resentment;

I pretend to them I'm shy

showing them the back of me;

well that's as much as I can try

I doze; I dream; I long to be

in the silence of the night

but oh those shrieking jackanapes

now hidden from my sight

I fall asleep at last and wait

for the new dawn to break light.

Thanks for visiting. I am very grateful for the very kind comments and faves.

Since returning home I am experiencing a lot of computer and internet connection problems. It is very frustrating. I comment a few pictures and then have to reboot or constantly refresh the page and then the comment does not always print. I do not know if it is problems with Flickr or my internet or with my computer or a combination of all three, but I do apologise sincerely and will try to catch up as and when I can. Thank you for your patience with me <3

904 sits at the Dry Creek MPC in the early hours of 1st May 2024. It has just undergone a cab upgrade and repaint, rust repairs and external repaint plus a service before it heads back to Whyalla.

This locomotive was previously DA5 and before that it was 875 and the original class leader, 830 built in 1959.

May the sun bring you new energies by day, may the moon softly restore you by night, may the rain wash away any worries you may have, may gentle breezes refresh your soul, and all the days of your life may you walk gently through the world ....... and know its beauty ~ Unknown.

Another of our Iris is in blooms, I like this the most.

Taken on a rainy day.

Have a great weekend everyone!
