Winter paddling has it share of challenges - water so cold it drips off paddles like syrup, sudden weather changes, and so forth. But the rewards can be incredible. This day on Cultus Lake, we were the only boats on the lake for the entire 4 hours we were out. The light was interesting, and the mist hanging on the mountain slopes was pretty lovely.
To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter... to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple life. ~John Burroughs

i feel this way often. i appreciate things like... a cool breeze... the sun... gorgeous clouds... how a vine twists around a fence to grow higher...even bugs... and after shooting a wedding for 10 hours, walking to my car i noticed this shot. the clouds were covering most of the stars, but you could see one here and there through them... and the lamp poles in the parking lot...all of them with only one bulb on. simple. but rewarding.
better on black
hss!
This is one of the rewards for an early morning stroll along the lake - a calming view across the still water of the East Basin of Lake Burley Griffin towards the Kingston Foreshore developments. To literally top it off, the sky was a spectrum of beautiful blue, orange and yellow colors. The only pity is that this time doesn't last longer. Within a few minutes, the bright Sun had risen, signaling the start of another hustle and bustle day.

iPhone 6s Plus - A photograph was taken with the back-facing camera on an iPhone 6s Plus.
Cortex Cam - The Cortex Cam camera replacement app was used to capture the image with 4536 x 6040 pixels.
Photoshop Express - Cropped the image to square format (4536 x 4536 pixels).
Handy Photo - Used the retouch tool to remove some distracting twigs from the tree branches on the right hand side.
Photoshop Fix - Applied some black vignette, predominantly to the top edge and corners.
ExifEditor - Transferred the EXIF data from the original photograph to the final image.
Sweet rewards rarely come without some risk. This is from the new camera Xiaomi Yi - $130 goPro like with Sony sensor, edited in photoshop. Crap light but very little wind, just testing some gimbal adjustments :)

Ok... I can't get a moon shot right to save my life. There, I admit it.
Moving right along.... the rewards to running in the dark are many. One morning last week, I got to see the moon rise, and it was fabulous and then later in the week, I saw this sliver of a moon at night. If I hadn't been running, I would have missed it because there is no way I would have been out there. (The real thing looked far more impressive than this photo.)
Other good things about running in the dark....
The night sky. Stars. Say no more! it's awesome!
You can wear pajamas if you want! I haven't yet, but I have thought about it. There's no one else out there... no one can see you. No one cares anyway, but my pajamas are warm...it could happen.
There's no one else around so you never have to interrupt your run to talk to someone...or even worse.... give directions. UGh.
It's quiet and it smells good.... fireplaces are going in the evening.
I get to use my favorite flashlight. (Flashlights are also one of my favorite things. I have no explanation for this.)
No one can see the pained expression on my face. Afterall, I never said I'm enjoying this. I still hate running.
But I think I'm getting better. And Dayna sends me encouraging text messages because she can't believe I'm still doing this either. So, that makes it all worthwhile. Kind of.
This may all be history when I get up tomorrow and it's 10F with a subzero windchill. I can hardly wait.

"Beauty will save the world." --Dostoevsky
Hello Flickr fans! Excited for my Los Angeles Landscape gallery show in December! Taking a break from finishing the HDR landscapes and finishing some goddesses for my 45surf surfline instead. :) The gallery artist statement will begin with something like:
"In every photograph you can see both where the photographer was standing and what they were thinking. So it is that this collection tells the story of my epic journey as no words ever could. And more importantly, I hope that it serves to guide and inspire you along a hero's journey of your own making, owning all the glorious rewards of the risks of your own taking." --Johnny Ranger McCoy
Back to the goddesses for the moment:

The colder weather systems have brought fascinating clouds. Sunrises, sunsets, and everything in-between have been amazing to photograph. The attempts are made with constantly changing sunlight conditions, but its fun.

I mentioned that I needed bubble wrap and my true love returned home with this. He was very proud that he'd gotten the buy-two-get-one-free deal.
I received a set of three two-sided mini posters of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, from Disney Movie Rewards on February 17, 2016. They feature a group shot of all the main characters, and closeups of Rey, Leia, Han, Finn and Kylo. They measure 19" H x 13" W, and are nicely printed on stiff poster paper. They were shipped flat, and arrived in perfect condition. Here are my photos of the posters. They are still available from the DMR site for 650 points.
"Burghley’s 2019 exhibition takes us on a journey around the Far East. William Cecil, the builder of Burghley House, was Queen Elizabeth I’s principal advisor and her Lord Treasurer. As such he took great interest in the expansion of foreign trade, particularly with the treasure-laden lands of the Far East.
Lord Burghley’s great atlas of 1570 illustrates the long sea voyages undertaken by early sailors. They held many dangers, but the rewards were great; the sea trade, initially in spices, developing to encompass a great range of beautiful and exotic luxury items: porcelains, semi-precious stones, lacquerwork, exquisite mother-of-pearl and delicately carved ivories. These were previously unknown in Europe and were destined to have a significant influence on Western culture. Many such items were collected by William Cecil’s descendants during the centuries that followed. The Special Exhibition shown in the Treasury Gallery during 2019 will illustrate their taste for the exotic." - info from the Burghley Collections website.
"Burghley House is a grand sixteenth-century English country house near Stamford, Lincolnshire. It is a leading example of the Elizabethan prodigy house, built and still lived in by the Cecil family. The exterior largely retains its Elizabethan appearance, but most of the interiors date from remodellings before 1800. The house is open to the public and displays a circuit of grand and richly furnished state apartments. Its park was laid out by Capability Brown.
The house is on the boundary of the civil parishes of Barnack and St Martin's Without in the Peterborough unitary authority of Cambridgeshire. It was formerly part of the Soke of Peterborough, an historic area that was traditionally associated with Northamptonshire. It lies 0.9 miles (1.4 km) south of Stamford and 10 miles (16 km) northwest of Peterborough city centre.
The house is now run by the Burghley House Preservation Trust, which is controlled by the Cecil family.
Burghley was built for Sir William Cecil, later 1st Baron Burghley, who was Lord High Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth I of England, between 1555 and 1587, and modelled on the privy lodgings of Richmond Palace. It was subsequently the residence of his descendants, the Earls, and since 1801, the Marquesses of Exeter. Since 1961, it has been owned by a charitable trust established by the family.
Lady Victoria Leatham, antiques expert and television personality, followed her father, Olympic gold-medal winning athlete, IAAF President and MP, David Cecil, the 6th Marquess, by running the house from 1982 to 2007. The Olympic corridor commemorates her father. Her daughter, Miranda Rock, is now the most active live-in trustee. However, the Marquessate passed it in 1988 to Victoria's uncle, Martin Cecil, 7th Marquess of Exeter, and then to his son, William Michael Anthony Cecil, both Canadian ranchers on land originally bought by the 5th Marquess, who have not lived at Burghley.
The house is one of the main examples of stonemasonry and proportion in sixteenth-century English Elizabethan architecture, reflecting the prominence of its founder, and the lucrative wool trade of the Cecil estates. It has a suite of rooms remodelled in the baroque style, with carvings by Grinling Gibbons. The main part of the house has 35 major rooms, on the ground and first floors. There are more than 80 lesser rooms and numerous halls, corridors, bathrooms, and service areas.
In the seventeenth century, the open loggias around the ground floor were enclosed. Although the house was built in the floor plan shape of the Letter E, in honour of Queen Elizabeth, it is now missing its north-west wing. During the period of the 9th Earl's ownership, and under the guidance of the famous landscape architect, Capability Brown, the south front was raised to alter the roof line, and the north-west wing was demolished to allow better views of the new parkland. A chimney-piece after the design of Venetian printmaker Giovanni Battista Piranesi was also added during his tenure.
The so-called "Hell Staircase" and its neighbour "The Heaven Room" has substantial ceiling paintings by Antonio Verrio, between 1697 and 1699. The walls to the "Hell Staircase" are by Thomas Stothard, who completed the work about a century later. The Bow Room is decorated with wall and ceiling paintings by Louis Laguerre." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.
Now on Instagram.

The Disney Movie Rewards Tinker Bell alphabet block trinket box, from various angles. It is in the KidKraft Snowflake Mansion. Tinker Bell is sitting on the block and laughing. The letters on the block spell TINK. It is 4'' W x 4'' D x 7'' H. I got it used but in excellent condition for a very good price. I think she is the best looking and most accurate Tinker Bell figure that I own.
customer requested this cake....credit must be given to pink cake box for this design the customer brought to me.
Since I have been home shooting again, I have been hesitant about how much of my face that I want to show in self portraits. I find that faces often add so much identity to a character that I am portraying. While I find a representation of myself in many of my self portraits, I also want to leave room for the viewer to add their own identity, so as to better understand the story I am trying to tell. For this shoot, however, I decided to bend my own rules. It was interesting for me to then see the changes that have occurred in my face since my last portrait with a focus on my face.
I did not plan this shoot ahead of time, like I usually do. I was with my mom at her office and she had to turn the water off in a well pit. She asked me to go take the lid off and I immediately begged her to let me drop down there and do a shoot. The shovel was my only prop and the slip I was wearing my only costume, but I don't think the idea of digging one's own grave is a bad concept for me.
I just got my Olaf Pull-Apart Plush, from Disney Movie Rewards. He is the smallest of my Olaf plushes, at 8 1/2'' to the top of his head, or 10 1/2'' to the top of his hair. He cost $9.95. I ordered him a month ago (April 12) and got him today (May 16). He has a total of six removable pieces, held together with Velcro. Namely his head, his nose, his upper body, his arms, and his lower body (including his legs). He is very soft, and has the same design as the other Disney Olaf plush dolls. The Velcro works pretty well to keep his various parts together, but it takes a bit of patience and trial and error to get all the parts close to their original positions. But I suppose being a snowman, it isn't necessary to get him exactly aligned. His body is much smaller than the similarly sized Small Olaf plush by the Disney Store, so he is much lighter. He is very stable sitting down, in his normal position. The Velcro fasteners allow his different parts to be posed as if they had rotating joints, so he is as posable as a plastic doll, except for his feet/legs, which have fixed positions in front of his lower body. It will be lots of fun to pose this plush with other members of my Frozen collection, especially to reproduce scenes from the movie.
I know I'd walk with an extra spring in my step were I able to don this outfit and use golden service items for Sunday Mass.
People being what they are, it wouldn't surprise me if the sumptuousness of one's finery were in direct proportion to one's power and importance within the Church's earthly hierarchy.
