I sequestered myself in Powell Library one afternoon, desperate to get some work done on a U.N. paper I was ill-equipped to write. Needless to say, I devoted more attention to taking this picture than to my paper.
This water was ice cold but I got so into what I was doing that I was calf deep in it for well over an hour.
The little one was stacking his toys this morning - the way the sunlight was hitting them made me smile.
Been dragging my feet on editing some of these because the negatives are streaky and will take a while to fix given that my computer is old and slow.
Here is one such image. Instead of obsessing over removing every single fleck of dust, I just did a "good enough" pass. So there may still be some defects here.

A crew member from our West Santiam Junction crew stacks sand in the maintenance yard. Mt. Hood is in the background.
Stack Trains run through the RED ZONE and move up through Roseville yard for crew changes. The clouds are going the opposite way, as the first storm of the season pulls in lightening and rain.

ring samples I made for a stackable rings class I'll be doing at the Studio at Rush Creek in Maple Grove, MN
South Stack Lighthouse, Anglesey.
South Stack is set in a spectacular location to the north-west of Holyhead. The lighthouse acts as a waymark for coastal traffic and a landmark and orientation light for vessels crossing the Irish Sea to and from the ports of Holyhead and Dun Laoghaire.
History of the lighthouse
In 1645 when lighthouses were privately owned, King Charles II was petitioned for a patent to build a lighthouse on South Stack. The request was refused. However, 143 years after the original petition, Trinity House leased South Stack island and construction of the lighthouse commenced. On 9 February 1809, the station's oil lamps, designed by Daniel Alexander at a cost of £12,000, were first lit. In 1828 an iron suspension bridge was built to replace the rope catwalk that originally linked the lighthouse to the bottom of the 400 steps down the cliff face.
This was one of the many changes that have taken place at South Stack since 1809. The lights regularly became more efficient and in 1938 electric power replaced the oil that powered the lamps. In 1964 the iron bridge was taken down and a new one of aluminium was put up in its place.
The lighthouse was automated in 1984, and the keepers withdrawn. Today, the lighthouse is monitored and controlled by computer link from Trinity House Operations Centre in Harwich, Essex.
These are a set of boxes I made for my company as part of a new business pitch. Laser cut boxes with 3d printed gimbals inside
Chad got that terrible cold that's been going around. I suffered it too, about a week ago, even being sent home from work two days in a row for being such a "feeb" (as Lisa called me). Sucked! I am never sick! Like seriously, only once every 2 years!
Poor Chad, he was coughing so much last night. But he was keeping me awake so I had to go sleep on the daybed in the front bedroom at 2:30am. Here are all the pillows stacked up out of the way.
Stack of Pelicans. Pacific Ocean Coast, California. May 15, 2010. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
A vertical column of pelicans stacked one above the other along the Pacific Ocean coastline of California.
On a slow night this week - while waiting for a new hard drive to get backed up - I want back through some more raw files from the first half of 2010. Almost invariably, when I go back through older collections of images I find at least a few things that seem interesting to me know even though they didn't really register at the time I shot them
I have previously shared some other photographs of these magnificent Pacific Coast birds that I made on this mid-May evening along the Pacific Coast Highway north of Santa Cruz, shooting from a bluff locations that I often return to. At this particular spot, when the conditions are just right, birds coming north up the coast and coasting on updrafts along the cliffs often climb toward the top of the bluff and frequently turn inland a bit right here as they come around an outcropping. That is what happened with these pelicans, who were coming almost towards me and were flying below my position on top of the bluff, creating what looks like a vertical stack of birds. How thoughtful of them to line up so that they fit perfectly within a 3:2 ratio portrait orientation frame! :-)

BNSF 3811, a ET44C4, leads a stack train through Oregon, IL on a Saturday morning. This is only one of many stacks to pass through Oregon on the BNSF Aurora Sub each day.
Largish springtail - Orchesella villosa (~4mm), on the underside of a piece of bark. I leave these bark strips out to attract them.
Eighteen images (at F6.3), combined with Zerene Stacker. Worked quite well, except for rear end.
Canon 1D3 + MP-E 65mm Macro (at around x2.5) + MT24-EX Flash (-2/3 FEC). I should have used a slightly lower magnification really, to get better "framing".
