I just love this quilt... it's made from my favourite line of fabrics, Moda 1974, and I got the scraps from Dana of Old Barn Co. I was inspired by a quilt Tula Pink made, and I named it Stacked because my husband thought they look like tall stacks of books :)

Gorgeous and simply perfect mugs from my favourite pottery in Konstanz. Two more pictures on my blog
Stack of 27 pictures by Affinity Photo
This poor carpenter bee will apparently serve as diner for a bunch of baby spiders (visible when viewing at full size)
Wouldn't it be nice if you were a giant and could pick up these rocks and spend a morning trying to see how many times it could possibly bounce on the ocean if it was thrown?
Another option would be just to sit and admire the ocean and enjoy the sunshine on these rocks ;)

The next chapter in my portfolio is an extensive collection of sepia monotone photos taken throughout South Africa, the continuation of taking photographs anywhere and everywhere I find the opportunity to do so....

With a fairly new GE up front, a Long Beach-bound intermodal exits the siding at Harwood on the Sunset Route east of San Antonio.
On a sadder note, there is some automobile debris in the grass here from a fatal collision between Amtrak and a car that ran the gates here a few days before.

When it was constructed, Mapperley Tunnel was 1132 yards long and as it was built dead straight, you could see one end from the other. Thanks to problems with subsidence caused by the area's mining history, the northernmost half of the tunnel has been completely backfilled. However, just before the backfill is the tunnel's central ventilation shaft.
Light is no longer able to pour down this shaft thanks to people throwing their rubbish down into the tunnel. The sheer volume of junk that has been launched down here has created this awesome tower of waste. If this pile was located in an art gallery as opposed to at the back of a drippy, old railway tunnel, I get the feeling it'd be respected by all those people who like to see small red squares on an otherwise blank canvas.
Overall, Mapperley Tunnel made for great explore. Although it's largely samey throughout, there are some great features to locate. These include the disastrous southern portal, the iron bracing that's been installed to strengthen the arch, the open ventilation shaft and this massive pile of junk that waits for you at the furthest most point you can reach. In terms of photography, the spalled brickwork means there are plenty of colours and textures to bring out of the darkness.
About one minute after the previous picture, another stack proceeds west on the northernmost track through Montclair, CA
A macro stack of a moth found on my back door,it filled the frame of my MPE65mm at 1x and I was too lazy to go and change lenses to fit the whole thing in, I regret it now.
This "black forest" is not the same that you know from S Germany... this one is reversed: the trees are black and the sky is green...
Caterpillar of the Peacock (Inachis io). Detail of the dorsal spines. Vila do Conde, Portugal.
23 pics. stacked and some 6 hrs. of pos production to remove noise and doubled spines due to the caterpillar movements...

Lots of fun to create. We found the perfect place to get a full photo of this king size quilt - from the deck of the recipient's new house. It is always a challenge to hold a large quilt up high enough for a photo so was gad to find the solution!
My friends' greenhouses are starting to heat up. We are starting to get fresh greens and shoots. Here plant trays are stacked ready for pea shoots (see those beautiful babies in the back?). One of the things I love best about spring are fresh-grown vegetables after a winter of everything being shipped in.
For Picture Inspiration Week 4: How Things Stack Up
Tracey encouraged us to try stacking things on our own for these photos, and I did try, but in the end this photo of already stacked trays was by far my favorite. (I will probably put the others up on my blog later.)
While we're discussing stacks, can I ask a question of those of you who use Photoshop or other layering programs to do their processing?
Do you save your layered files (i.e. your PSDs or maybe layered TIFs)? as well as your RAW files and final jpegs? I want to save them in case I want to go back in and change things some day, and sometimes I like to look back at how I processed something so I can do it again with another photo, but the files take up so much space. I am wondering if I need to give up this habit.
Design by Charles & Ray Eames, 1950
The Eames Plastic Side Chair is the contemporary version of the legendary Fiberglass Chair and apparently the first pastic chair to be manufactured in industrial quantities. This must be one the most ubiquitous designer chairs ever, go to the nearest conference room and you'll probably stumble upon a couple of these. There are about 800 of them inside the Rolex Learning Center, for example... all white, though.
Seen at the Vitra Haus (I believe Eames products are manufactured by Vitra for the European and Asian markets).
I spotted this stack of chairs in a restaurant in Parkhurst, Johannesburg, outside of operating hours, which meant shooting through the window. A different restaurant now occupies the premises. I've been searching for a specific photograph (not this one) and have been encountering all sorts of forgotten shots.
South Stack is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular lighthouses, South Stack Lighthouse. It has a height of 41 metres (135 feet). It has a maximum area of 7 acres.
Until 1828 when an iron suspension bridge was built, the only means of crossing the deep water channel on to the island was in a basket which was suspended on a hemp cable. The suspension bridge was replaced in 1964, but by 1983 the bridge had to be closed to the public, due to safety reasons. A new aluminium bridge was built and the lighthouse was reopened for public visits in 1997. Thousands of people flock to the lighthouse every year, thanks to the continued public transport service from Holyhead's town centre.
There are over 400 stone steps down to the footbridge (and not, as local legend suggests, 365), and the descent and ascent provide an opportunity to see some of the 4,000 nesting birds that line the cliffs during the breeding season. The cliffs are part of the RSPB South Stack Cliffs bird reserve, based at Elin's Tower.
The Anglesey Coastal Path passes South Stack, as does the Cybi Circular Walk. The latter has long and short variants; the short walk is 4 miles long and takes around two hours to complete. Travelling from the Breakwater Country Park, other sites along the way are the North Stack Fog Signal station, Caer y Tŵr, Holyhead Mountain and Tŷ Mawr Hut Circles.
I'm testing focus stacking for the first time. I'm using Zerene Stacker (zerenesystems.com/cms/stacker) as it seems to be the only one available for Linux. It's really easy to use.
This one uses 9 images taken with Nikkor 55/3.5 at f/5.6.
A little male mining bee about the size of a grain of rice. Andrena personata is something I associate with sparse fields, not so much lawns. My guess that the usual lawn weeds don't have the right mix of patriotically native flower species it is looking for. Kind of pixie like, is what I want to say.
