Free and solo butterfly, in my head, in my heart, in my hands...Still excited about that documentary “Free Solo.” @alexhonnold Today, I woke up thinking of and chatting about fascinators for this Saturday’s high tea party. The idea is begging for unmatchable silliness. The resolve to get or create one though can surprise even the most cynical...An antidote would be a trip to Yosemite and stare at that wall with different eyes. #mobiledigitalart #digitalart #procreate #artrage #
This is a candidate for my Water Works Photo Set series. It seems the ripples are rising with the breeze. The grasses along the bank are burned and sere; The sky just shows in the slight ripples and keeps it as part of the image was probably best in this shot when I returned to visit old haunts. We have been subject to some days with dud skies and I was determined to take advantage of happening skies. The breeze generated the rippled reflections on the water around the snags. Seasons were a'changing; I have resolved that I had to shoot the details. I am still not willing to let this autumn slip away even though the foliage is largely gone. I made another loop of the path because we had a break in the overcast and some still waters. Drama reflected by the waters.
I needed a lot more exercise because I have spent too much time at the computer. I got a couple of shots of the foliage in the distance but it is deteriorating so I let it go dark but processed like crazy. I guess this scene just grabbed me emotionally for some reason. I think the close-in water looks like textured shower curtain glass and I like it. I decided to recapture earlier shots. I made the most of the clouds. I see too many scenes ruined by flare from blank skies posted on Flickr and feel sorry for their selection of glass on their cameras. I wish they would opt for better single-focal length lenses instead of those 12-16X zooms.
Fall was over; I resolved that my best autumn ever was at a close. I am still not willing to let this autumn slip away and I made another loop of the path because we had a break in the overcast and ripples on the water. In the still visible distance, the flotilla is off to seek better "Ducking" waters. I needed a lot more exercise because I have spent too much time at the computer. I got a couple of shots of the foliage in the distance but it is deteriorating so I let it go dark but processed like crazy. I guess this scene just grabbed me emotionally for some reason.

I am out here at Golden Ponds, the Longmont, Boulder County greenbelt and rec area and fortunately, the turn-off is only a half-dozen blocks down Hover St. I wanted to look for possible locations even though the sky has been the pits lately. I wandered the green space and took some detail shots that were available, These drying cattails jumped from the background pond. The bold sky is gone, the rippling water gone, the bold clouds gone, my favorite cottonwood, brown and most cattails seeding the next year's supply. I shot few pictures and kept the sky out of the frame but it's presence shows in the water. The colorful autumn foliage is gathering around the ponds and under the water. I love shooting high contrast scenes with this camera and lens.

Today I resolved to pick the first fruit (3 months' old) from the vine because I had become impatient waiting but when I went to inspect them all, I saw that a different younger one had dropped into its mesh bag.
Fruit measures approximately 5 x 2.5 cm. It has a firm, slightly furry pericarp and weighs about 12g. A gram of freshly cleansed seed indicates that there is something in the order of 120 seeds inside allowing for the weight of the empty shell. Dropping the freshly cleansed seed into a glass of water saw practically everyone sink thereby indicating a potential viability. Just waiting on a further 9 fruits but this batch of seeds will be sown immediately.

Projetos do Parque Burle Marx - Brasília
Um novo espaço de conservação ambiental, diversão e lazer estará, em breve, à disposição da população de Brasília. É o Parque Burle Marx, com cerca de 3 milhões de metros quadrados, entre o local onde será construído o Setor Habitacional Noroeste e a Asa Norte, no Plano Piloto de Brasília. No momento, são desenvolvidos pela Topocart os projetos executivos de urbanismo, paisagismo e infraestrutura do novo espaço, concebido para compensar o impacto ambiental que será causado pela implantação do novo empreendimento imobiliário.
No início deste ano, o Instituto Brasília Ambiental (Ibram) aprovou o Plano de Manejo elaborado pela Topocart para a Unidade de Conservação e alterou a classificação de Parque Ecológico para Parque de Uso Múltiplo. Essa mudança, segundo a coordenadora do Departamento de Arquitetura, Urbanismo e Meio Ambiente da Topocart, Janaina Vieira, possibilita maior flexibilidade na ocupação do espaço sem comprometer a preservação do meio ambiente e ainda contribui para acelerar a elaboração dos projetos que serão desenvolvidos no local.
De acordo com a arquiteta urbanista da Topocart, Carolina Favilla, o parque é uma das condicionantes para obtenção do licenciamento ambiental para a implantação do Setor Habitacional Noroeste. “Graças ao Parque, com suas quatro lagoas de retenção e detenção, foi possível resolver a questão da drenagem pluvial da região”, explica.
Praças e oásis
O estudo preliminar de urbanismo do Parque Burle Marx foi elaborado pelo escritório Jaime Lerner e é composto por um eixo central que interliga os diversos espaços de lazer. Entre as atrações do Parque se destacam a Praça das Sombras, junto a uma das entradas, os espaços Brennand e Krajberg - com exposição permanente de obras ao ar livre desses artistas plásticos, o Jardim Burle Marx, um museu interativo chamado de Planetário Indígena e o Museu Vivo do Cerrado. Intercalando cada uma dessas estruturas, ao longo do eixo central, serão erguidos espaços menores, batizados de oásis, com opções de recreação, gastronomia, exposições e descanso assistido.
Umas principais atrações do Parque será a Praça “Viva o Povo Brasileiro”, que ocupará um espaço de 90 mil metros quadrados destinados a atividades diversificadas que serão desenvolvidas ao redor de uma reprodução do mapa do Brasil em escala reduzida, refletindo fielmente o relevo e cercado por um espelho d’água representando o oceano Atlântico. De acordo com a arquiteta Giannina Picado Maykall, que coordena o desenvolvimento do projeto de implantação do Parque na Topocart, muitas dessas idéias foram incorporadas e desenvolvidas a partir do estudo preliminar elaborado pelo escritório Jaime Lerner. “Além de contemplar aspectos de lazer e meio ambiente, a criação do Parque Burle Marx proporciona soluções viárias para o tráfego da região”, ressalta.
Sustentabilidade
O Parque terá ainda quatro lagoas e uma zona de preservação, onde, possivelmente, será erguida a Escola de Preservação Ambiental de Brasília. Já a faixa que compreende todo o perímetro do empreendimento foi definida como de uso múltiplo e deve abrigar variadas estruturas voltadas para atividades cotidianas dos usuários residentes nas imediações do novo espaço.
Tanto a Escola Ambiental de Brasília, quanto o prédio que abrigará a Administração do Parque Burle Marx apresentam, como diferencial, os projetos concebidos de acordo com um conceito contemporâneo de sustentabilidade. Eles foram desenvolvidos pelo arquiteto da Topocart, Jandson Queiroz, a partir de uma abordagem que incorpora tecnologias de reaproveitamento da água e economia energética por meio de dispositivos como tetos verdes, orientação solar e a utilização de materiais reciclados.
Following, a text, in english, from Wikipedia the free encyclopédia:
Black-tufted marmoset, Photographed at Imprensa Nacional - IN, Brasília, DF, Brazil, using an Iphone 6 camera.
The black-tufted marmoset (Callithrix penicillata), also known as Mico-estrela in Portuguese, is a species of New World monkey that lives primarily in the Neo-tropical gallery forests of the Brazilian Central Plateau. It ranges from Bahia to Paraná,[3] and as far inland as Goiás, between 14 and 25 degrees south of the equator. This marmoset typically resides in rainforests, living an arboreal life high in the trees, but below the canopy. They are only rarely spotted near the ground.
Physical description:
The black-tufted marmoset is characterized by black tufts of hair around their ears. It typically has some sparse white hairs on its face. It usually has a brown or black head and its limbs and upper body are gray, as well as its abdomen, while its rump and underside are usually black. Its tail is ringed with black and white and is not prehensile, but is used for balance. It does not have an opposable thumb and its nails tend to have a claw-like appearance. The black-tufted marmoset reaches a size of 19 to 22 cm and weighs up to 350 g.
Behavior:
Diurnal and arboreal, the black-tufted marmoset has a lifestyle very similar to other marmosets. It typically lives in family groups of 2 to 14. The groups usually consist of a reproductive couple and their offspring. Twins are very common among this species and the males, as well as juvenile offspring, often assist the female in the raising of the young.
Though the black-tufted marmoset lives in small family groups, it is believed that they share their food source, sap trees, with other marmoset groups. Scent marking does occur within these groups, but it is believed that the marking is to deter other species rather than other black-tufted marmoset groups, because other groups typically ignore these markings. They also appear to be migratory, often moving in relation to the wet or dry seasons, however, the extent of their migration is unknown.
Though communication between black-tufted marmosets has not been studied thoroughly, it is believed that it communicates through vocalizations. It has known predator-specific cries and appears to vocalize frequently outside of predator cries.
Food and predation:
The Black-tufted Marmoset diet consists primarily of tree sap which it gets by nibbling the bark with its long lower incisors. In periods of drought, it will also include fruit and insects in its diet. In periods of serious drought it has also been known to eat small arthropods, molluscs, bird eggs, baby birds and small vertebrates.
Large birds of prey are the greatest threat to the black-tufted marmoset, however, snakes and wild cats also pose a danger to them. Predator-specific vocalizations and visual scanning are its only anti-predation techniques.
Reproduction:
The black-tufted marmoset is monogamous and lives in family groups. It reproduces twice a year, producing 1 to 4 offspring, though most often just twins. Its gestation period is 150 days and offspring are weaned after 8 weeks. There is considerable parental investment by this species, with both parents, as well as older juveniles, helping to raise the young. The offspring are extremely dependent on their parents and though they are sexually mature at 18 months, they typically do not mate until much later, staying with their family group until they do.
Ecosystem roles and conservation status:
The black-tufted marmoset is a mutualist with many species of fruit trees because it distributes the seeds from the fruit it consumes throughout the forests. However, it is a parasite on other species of trees because it creates sores in trees in order to extract sap, while offering no apparent benefit to the trees. Though this marmoset is not a main food source to any specific species, it is a food source to a number of different species, specifically large birds of prey, wild cats, and snakes.
While there are no known negative effects of marmosets towards humans, it carries specific positive effects by being a highly valuable exotic pet. It is also used in zoo exhibits and scientific research.
The black-tufted marmoset is listed as having no special status on the IUCN Red List or the United States Endangered Species Act List. It is listed in Appendix II of CITES and is not currently considered an endangered or threatened species.
A girl stumbled up the path and stood upon the height of the lofty cliff, panting as if after a long run, and gazed about on spectacle displayed before her eyes. The eerie stillness was broken only by the whistling wind, yet there stole slowly upon it the tread of human feet, softly at first, but growing constantly louder and more distinct, 'til it could be clearly heard. Suddenly a soldier burst upon the scene, his silver helmets and spear glistening in the light as he emerged from the woods. Here came another, and another! They approached the path up the cliff, yet she knew her strength was spent. Her heart began to beat rapidly as they climbed. They neared rapidly, it would not be long 'til they reached her. Suddenly an idea flitted through her mind. She thought back for a moment on her past, her father, her mother. Her idea grew into a determination, her determination into resolve - she would not fall into the hands of these men! Gathering her remaining strength for one last tremendous effort, she hurled herself from the cliff into the boiling waters below.
Inspired by Ian Spacek's Myriad. I hope that the story can be connected easily with the music. This was an excellent idea for a contest and probably one of my favorites I have ever participated in!

Some of you may have noticed that, unfortunately, owing to the fact that a certain person who sells truck photos on eBay commercially has been lifting my images from this album and selling them I have had to remove 2300 photos that didn't have a watermark. I have now run around 1700 through Lightroom and added a watermark with the intention of bulk uploading them again. Rather than watermark the existing (hidden) files in Flickr one at a time it will be easier to do it this way. I definitely won’t be adding individual tags with the make and model of each vehicle I will just add generic transport tags. Each photo is named after the vehicle and reg in any case. For anyone new to these images there is a chapter and verse explanation below. It is staggering how many times I get asked questions that a quick scan would answer or just as likely I can’t possibly answer – I didn’t take them, but, just to clarify-I do own the copyright- and I do pursue copyright theft.
This is a collection of scanned prints from a collection of photographs taken by the late Jim Taylor A number of years ago I was offered a large number of photographs taken by Jim Taylor, a transport photographer based in Huddersfield. The collection, 30,000 prints, 20,000 negatives – and copyright! – had been offered to me and one of the national transport magazines previously by a friend of Jim's, on behalf of Jim's wife. I initially turned them down, already having over 30,000 of my own prints filed away and taking space up. Several months later the prints were still for sale – at what was, apparently, the going rate. It was a lot of money and I deliberated for quite a while before deciding to buy them. I did however buy them directly from Jim’s wife and she delivered them personally – just to quash the occasional rumour from people who can’t mind their own business. Although some prints were sold elsewhere, particularly the popular big fleet stuff, I should have the negatives, unfortunately they came to me in a random mix, 1200 to a box, without any sort of indexing and as such it would be impossible to match negatives to prints, or, to even find a print of any particular vehicle. I have only ever looked at a handful myself unless I am scanning them. The prints are generally in excellent condition and I initially stored them in a bedroom without ever looking at any of them. In 2006 I built an extension and they had to be well protected from dust and moved a few times. Ultimately my former 6x7 box room office has become their (and my own work’s) permanent home.
I hope to avoid posting images that Jim had not taken his self, however should I inadvertently infringe another photographers copyright, please inform me by email and I will resolve the issue immediately. There are copyright issues with some of the photographs that were sold to me. A Flickr member from Scotland drew my attention to some of his own work amongst the first uploads of Jim’s work. I had a quick look through some of the 30 boxes of prints and decided that for the time being the safest thing for me to do was withdraw the majority of the earlier uploaded scans and deal with the problem – which I did. whilst the vast majority of the prints are Jims, there is a problem defining copyright of some of them, this is something that the seller did not make clear at the time. I am reasonably confident that I have since been successful in identifying Jims own work. His early work consists of many thousands of lustre 6x4 prints which are difficult to scan well, later work is almost entirely 7x5 glossy, much easier to scan. Not all of the prints are pin sharp but I can generally print successfully to A4 from a scan.
You may notice photographs being duplicated in this Album, unfortunately there are multiple copies of many prints (for swapping) and as I have to have a system of archiving and backing up I can only guess - using memory - if I have scanned a print before. The bigger fleets have so many similar vehicles and registration numbers that it is impossible to get it right all of the time. It is easier to scan and process a print than check my files - on three different PC’s - for duplicates. There has not been, nor will there ever be, any intention to knowingly breach anyone else's copyright. I have presented the Jim Taylor collection as exactly that-The Jim Taylor Collection- his work not mine, my own work is quite obviously mine.
Unfortunately, many truck spotters have swapped and traded their work without copyright marking it as theirs. These people never anticipated the ease with which images would be shared online in the future. I would guess that having swapped and traded photos for many years that it is almost impossible to control their future use. Anyone wanting to control the future use of their work would have been well advised to copyright mark their work (as many did) and would be well advised not to post them on photo sharing sites without a watermark as the whole point of these sites is to share the image, it is very easy for those that wish, to lift any image, despite security settings, indeed, Flickr itself, warns you that this is the case. It was this abuse and theft of my material that led me to watermark all of my later uploads. I may yet withdraw non-watermarked photos, I haven’t decided yet. (I did in the end)
To anyone reading the above it will be quite obvious that I can’t provide information regarding specific photos or potential future uploads – I didn’t take them! There are many vehicles that were well known to me as Jim only lived down the road from me (although I didn’t know him), however scanning, titling, tagging and uploading is laborious and time consuming enough, I do however provide a fair amount of information with my own transport (and other) photos. I am aware that there are requests from other Flickr users that are unanswered, I stumble across them months or years after they were posted, this isn’t deliberate. Some weekends one or two “enthusiasts” can add many hundreds of photos as favourites, this pushes requests that are in the comments section ten or twenty pages out of sight and I miss them. I also have notifications switched off, I receive around 50 emails a day through work and I don’t want even more from Flickr. Other requests, like many other things, I just plain forget – no excuses! Uploads of Jim’s photos will be infrequent as it is a boring pastime and I would much rather work on my own output.
