Spodumene Kunzite Crystal - A showcase standout for the Los Angeles Natural History Museum, this large pink crystal is often called Kunzite after collector George Frederick Kunz. Mined at the Pala Chief Mine near San Diego, CA.
This crystal was photographed through a glass display case at an exhibition for the Tucson Gem and Mineral show at the Westward Look Resort. It would measure likely 20" tall. It may have been found in the early 1900's, from the Pala Chief Mine that operates to this day.

This photograph depicts a much 'lighter' night than the last, with a full moon making the long exposure seem bright like daylight. Taken on Kirkstone Pass.
Some early season fall color pictures from West Michigan.
If you've been following my stream for any length of time you'll know I'm a FALL COLOR FANATIC and I try to extend this season for as long as possible ...
Typically seeking out the very first colors in August and continuing to shoot the very last colors until nearly December!
All shots taken with a Canon 5D3 DSLR.
One from the recent backlogs, from a dawn shoot I did a week or so ago, down at my parents place in Gatton.

This standout male Cardinal with gray edging on it's back plumage has been a regular in Janice's yard lately...I can't say I've ever noticed one like it before, but it is lovely...he looks like he's wearing a sporty sweater!
sometimes, being exclusively unique in a common crowd is great! but i guess, not all the time.. it's more like you're craving for attention. then again, why so serious? hahaha... cheers!

CSXT CW40-8 7357 is a former Conrail unit, wrecked and repaired by GE prior to the CSX/NS split in 1999. The give away to this rebuild is the high number boards which in CSX YN2 makes this unit standout from other CSX Dash8 wide bodies. Dalton, Georgia September 2005 (Slide Scan)
Narcissus is a genus of predominantly spring flowering perennial plants of the amaryllis family, Amaryllidaceae. Various common names including daffodil, narcissus and jonquil are used to describe all or some members of the genus. The species are native to meadows and woods in southern Europe and North Africa with a centre of diversity in the Western Mediterranean, particularly the Iberian peninsula. They are predominantly spring perennial plants. They have conspicuous flowers with six petal-like tepals surmounted by a cup- or trumpet-shaped corona. The flowers are generally white or yellow or orange or pink, with either uniform or contrasting coloured tepals and corona. 11235
Noel and Finn are standouts in any milieu. Well, that is kind of a cheesy play on the title but sincerely meant. But it is a different processing treatment that I wanted to try and see if "it works". I'm not sure if I like it or not. A bit too contrived perhaps?
I really like Flicker for trying different treatments of photos. The comments are helpful as is the approval of different group
So, I am really grateful for the guidance that Flickr friends provide not only in the display of their own art, but in the attention that they give my photographs.
