Such moments of laughter and fun spent in the willow world are truly fleeting.The party ends, and if you are lucky, the fun continues on at a much smaller scale at another place or two within the dreamy confines of the hanamachi. And then you wake up the next morning feeling a little groggy, which deepens, as the exuberance of the night before retreats from the invasive harsh light of the real world seeping in through the crack in the curtains.
let the Sleeping Death seep through.

first princess for my Disney Princess collab with Riley and Meg ! I love them so much. <3 check out their versions! I’ve wanted to do Disney Princess pictures since I started photography
I know it’s really cliché with the poisoned apples so I wanted to twist it
this was a nightmare to expand. thank you Riley for spending so much time trying to help me expand it! (credit for caption in beginning of description goes to Ril too)
but it didn’t work on my computer and then I had to suck it up and do it. needless to say, I’m really proud of it. thank you also to Katie Leighton for being my dead models (;
you may notice (or not) that this editing is different than my normal look BUT it’s because I just found out that I have tones and curves and adjustments on PSE..I FEEL LIKE I HAVE LIFE FIGURED OUT
the possibilities are endless with those ahhhhhhh wlaekjrlawk
*THANK YOU Sammy, Riley, Olivia ,Diego, Bethany, and Asher for your heart-felt testimonials! I've looked up to these guys since I joined flickr and to receive testimonials from them was so exciting!! check them out!
I’m going to college in Florida really soon and I’ve decided that I probably won’t be able to take as many pictures in college so I have a list of picture ideas and I’m going to try to take all of them! So expect to see more from me in these next few weeks!
I just need these simple props:
-burning house
-fog machine
-legit wooden raft like the one from Castaway
-a train
-a pack of wolves
-an attic with a gigantic window
-an abandoned factory
-a library with a book as big as a desk
-a herd of sheep
-a shot
-woods with dead trees
-woods with luscious green trees
-an ocean

A heron searches the floodwaters in the Bonnet Carre' Spillway. This shot was taken before the spillway was opened, however, water was seeping in through the boards. Ardea herodias
When I first went to Worcester in the early 1990s I remember being awed by the scary dereliction of Union Station replete with trees growing out of it and a rusty property of Penn Central Corporation sign on the boarded up front entrance. What also stood out was the long curving viaduct along the northwest side of the building that carried the Providence and Worcester's Gardner Branch north. The first time I saw it the bridge girders were still painted silver with black New Haven Railroad - Shoreline Route and Go By Train in stylized letters.
However change came rapidly, and Union Station was gorgeously restored, and the viaduct received fresh brown and orange to advertise for the local road. So imagine my surprise when driving by the other day and I noticed this. Look close and it's plain to see the heritage seeping back through. This section of bridge remains in daily railroad use though the road beneath it has been bypassed. I assume when the need comes for it to be replaced a fill or wall will probably take its stead. So take a look if you're ever in downtown because this brief return will most certainly be fleeting.
If you're interested in seeing what this bridge looked like back then I highly recommend you order a copy of the New Haven Railroad Historical and Technical Society's Shoreliner magazine Vol. 42, Issue 4 from 2021 that had a fabulous feature story by Ron High about the NH's girder bridge advertisements.

Meadow Pipits are a fairly common breeding bird of moors, grasslands and dunes. There are nearly 2 million breeding pairs in Britain but it is still amber listed because of a 25-50% decline over the past 25 years. They are largely confined to Europe too so they are classed as "near threatened" globally. On the Pennine Moors near to where I live they are the commonest LBJ and you can hear their seep seep seep calls wherever you go in the summer, though they wander to lower ground in winter. Most birders contract the name to Mippet, as they can't simply use Pipit as there are other species of pipit in Britain. I photographed this one on top of a gritstone boulder on the Peak District moors. I thought that the lichens and smooth layered background made for quite a pleasing image for such a dull LBJ.
Sadness seeping into life
This time able to deal with a creative outlet
What a difference it makes, really enjoying the results

Thank you to the three beautiful women who took part in this - Ottilie Mason, Jiva MacKay and Jacqueline Hogler.
Water seeps out of a soggy pastureland from a cow corral and flows into Owens Lake, turning it lime green with bacteria and algae. Maybe it's better you admired the abstract patterns and didn't know how they were produced.
This Native wildflower can be found in damp or marsh areas in the west. The leaves were used by indigenous peoples as a lettuce amongst other uses. We have a seasonal stream with softwood trees offering much shade for these guys. I had to underexpose to capture any of the reddish color of the center 'hairs'. This was a 3 layer exposure blend.

Leachate seeps from the old Operation Sunrise dump site into the Don River.
OKAY SO I HAVE A CAMERA NOW. for the time being. and i am so camera-happy right now i am just going to upload a ton of stuff. today was a really crap day. weather-wise. it was cold and rainy. so pretty much my kind of weather ahahaha.
ANNNNNND i only have flickr-editing right now, SO BEAR WITH ME. ugh. i miss my old friend photoshop :||

A high quality herbaceous seep explodes with summer color at the base of a hill in a remnant patch of rolling longleaf pine uplands. Pictured here are the Pinewoods Rose Gentian (Sabatia gentianoides), Pale Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia alata), Bog Coneflowers (Rudbeckia scabrifolia), bog buttons (Eriocaulon spp.) and other characteristic flora of herbaceous seeps.

These Blackface Ewes on top of Carn Bhac in the Cairngorm Hills certainly have a huge wild area to roam about in here. They are a very tough breed of sheep suitable for hill, mountain & moorland grazing and are easily hefted for these unfenced environments. The ewes make very good mothers & can rear their young in the harshest terrains. I have a wee bit admiration for these hardy animals, Ive see them out in the hills in all weathers over the years. Often its the first face I see in a hillwalk.
Petroleum seeps from under a ledge of Alluvium and sandstone in the McKittrick Oil Field on the western side of the San Joaquin Valley in California. Fresh black oil flows down the left side while an older; dust covered tar depositcan be seen to the left. This natural seep, one of the many that make up an area known as The McKittrick Tar Pits, sits just to the west of the town of McKittrick in Kern County. In some areas, one of the first clues that oil is present in the subsurface is the fact that it sometimes finds its way to the surface through faulting or porous rock. Places where oil, asphalt or tar naturally comes to the surface are called an oil / tar seep or brea. Sands that are saturated with heavy asphalt or tar are called tar sands. The tar pits here lie on the western flank of the Temblor Range where alluvium covers Holocene alluvial gravels, fluvial sandstone, and lacustrine shales. These in turn overlie the kerogen-rich Miocene Monterey Formation. Most of the kerogen represent the preserved bodies of microscopic organism such as diatoms that live in the upper few meters of the ocean. The Monterey has many diatom rich beds called diatomaceous shales. Heat and time changed the soft body parts into liquid hydrocarbon and associated gas. About the same time, movement of the San Andres and associated faults help form the Temblor Range. Faulting and cracking of the rocks formed pathways for the oil to migrate up out of the Monterey, Some of the oil became trapped beneath an impermeable cap of Monterey Formation that slid of the Mountains. Most of the tar seeps occur in place where erosion has removed the Monterey cap (deposited by the landslide) and allowed the porous sandstone beds to be exposed and leak the oil.
As with its famous cousin, the La Brea Tar Pits, to the south, McKittrick's oil seeps also trapped its fair share of animals. Paleontologic studies of these seeps began in the early 1900's. Both the University of California and the Kern County Museum excavated the site in the 1940s. As of 1968, paleontologists identified over 43 different mammals and 58 different bird species. Bison, saber-toothed cat, dire wolf, camel and elephant, as well as smaller animals have been identified. Some of these species are now extinct. Most of the animal remains date back to the Pliestocene (10000 to 40000 years ago).
The Tulumne Yokut were the first people known to exploit the tar. Spanish explorers noted that they used it as a glue, a waterproofing agent, and related uses. It was so useful they found other tribes willing to trade for it. Early European settlers found similar uses, In the early 1860's the Buena Vista Petroleum Company began digging the tar at the seeps. In some cases Mining techniques were employed. A worker would be lowered down into the mine, then would fill buckets with the asphalt, while someone at the surface would pull it up. It was incredibly dirty and hot, As a result many miners chose to work naked and be washed at the end of the day. The Job had it dangers too, The workers not only had to contend with the tar in the pits, but also the hot weather of the San Joaquin Valley and noxious fumes from the oil, tar and gas. In the end, the mines were not very economical. The first oil well, The Standard Oil #1, was drilled in 1899. The well discovered oil and McKittrick Field was born. It became a major oil producer and is still producing today,
So uninspired the last week or so. Note to self: when driving around, stop and go back down the same road- you will see things different, and some things definitely deserve a second look and chance.
For Jamie- I hope you find your inspiration too! Please visit her stream not only is she hands down one of my biggest inspirations, and one of my favorite artists- but she is so generous and sweet too! here.

A unique kind of spring exists at Mammoth Hot Springs, located in the northwest section of the park. Hot water ascends through ancient limestone deposits. The result is a landscape of terraces sculpted by travertine limestone.
At Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone visitors will enjoy views of travertine limestone terraces. Flowing waters spill over the colorfully streaked Minerva Terraces, resulting in a gentle waterfall appearance.
Hot gases are stored underneath the surface. Water seeps down into the ground and meets with these gases. Some of the gases are readily dissolved in the hot water to form an acid solution. This hot and acidic solution dissolves great quantities of limestone as it works up through the rock to the surface. Once exposed to the air, some of the carbon dioxide escapes from the solution. As this happens, limestone no longer remains in solution and it is deposited, resulting in the terraces.
Mammoth Hot Springs deposits about two tons of travertine limestone (calcium carbonate) per day.

Seeped in industrial history, Dinorwic is a blast from the past. An epic landscape that is slowly in terminal decline.
Well worth a visit before it is lost.
