At Cayo Blanco, Cuba, PP using Topaz. I guess your skin is more sensitive when you get old. You need triple protection - sunblock, a hat and an umbrella....lol
Haven’t forgot about this one !☀️! been steadily restocking large scale printing supplies in preparation for 1st ink…it has been a long time since I’ve printed a cut this big! Finally ready to rock it out. Lots to test, it will be in color, it will take time…fingers crossed my 1st plan will work like a dream…here goes! #thesun #sunwoodcut #sun #sunblock #sunprint #woodblock #woodblockprint #handcarved #blockprint #reliefprint #printmaking #valerielueth #tugboatprintshop
I took a picture of a gold bee at a park in neighborhood.
The form of the bee was brilliant as oil of sunblock was applied.
Composition of a flower and a bee is fascinating. Therefore I uploaded it.
近所の公園で黄金の蜂を撮影しました。体はサンオイルを塗ったように輝いています。野菊との構図が面白のでUPしました。
We decided to take a chance on the weather and visit the Alfreshco Express. Pack a brolley and the clouds disappear. Pack sunblock and the skies open up...
To put everyone’s minds at ease......Jake was fully protected against the sun’s harmful rays with his own special 700SPF sunblock blend. He really wasn’t worried about skin cancer, but he wanted to keep his delicate bones bright and white.
This day I decided to go to the beach at Ramla Bay, about 20 minutes away by bus from my hotel. The route included a lot of mountainous hairpin turns that made me anxious.
Once there, the beach was wonderful! I had a burger at the little beach shack (they call them beef burgers on Malta, not hamburgers), and lazed in sun and water for a couple hours. I didn't have a book or an umbrella or sunblock (!), and I ended up leaving after two hours, but with no regrets.
I was shooting the fall leaf when a shadow passed over me - when I turned around Annabelle and her friends had come to check me out.
Mon Bridge in Sangkhlaburi
Sangkhlaburi's iconic, 447m-long wooden bridge, the largest in Thailand, connects the main town, home mostly to Thai and Karen, with the Mon settlement. This village (officially it's Ban Wang Ka, but even residents just call it Ban Mon: 'Mon Village') is a striking place to explore, peopled by cheroot-smoking women, sarong-wearing men and faces covered in thanaka (a yellow paste made from tree bark, used both as sunblock and decoration).
At the Mon end of the bridge is a souvenir market selling Karen shirts and dresses among other things. Follow the street uphill from the bridge and turn left on the main road to visit the Mon market, which is refreshingly free of souvenirs.
Giving morning alms to monks (at 6.30am) is a big event on the Mon side of the bridge. Tourists (mostly from Bangkok) donate from fancy trays alongside locals who stick to the Mon tradition of giving just a scoop of rice. During Buddhist festivals alms are offered on the bridge.

We met Greg on one of the hiking trails in Saguaro National Park in Tucson Arizona. We were on one of our daily walks which had to be done very early in the morning before the desert heat intensified. The thermometer reached 40 degrees C (104 F) much of the time we were in Arizona.
Greg was very friendly and stopped for a chat. He was a volunteer for the park service and walks the trails on a regular basis to make sure all is well. During our chat he casually determined that we had plenty of water and were well-protected by sunblock. (On a hike the next week we encountered a woman who had been felled by the heat and was being looked after by friends in the shade of a cactus while waiting for paramedics to arrive.)
I have been surprised by the number of seniors who volunteer in a wide range of capacities in Arizona. Since the state houses many retirees, and since many of them want to remain active, volunteering is very popular.
While I was photographing dragonflies the other day, this bald eagle flew overhead, completely blocking out the sun with his immense wingspan. I have to make a run into the big city today but I'll catch up with you a little later. Enjoy your day!

Originally I thought the theme for today was “summer safety”, so I had swimmers with sharks and life preservers and duckies as part of the pictures, along with Zelda and the sunblock/suntan lotion.
Cathedral Rock, Sedona.
The sun was already fairly high but my position close to and almost directly in front this famous landmark allowed me to mostly avoid shooting into it.
Many Chinese women are afraid of getting a tan as they feel pale skin is more beautiful. So even at sunset on the beach, an umbrella can still be used to protect from the sun.

Reached interestingness #8 - May 15 2006
Also this week catch a new gallery of Christina, getting ready for a morning workout applying some sunblock to her legs.

I used to hate the winters in New Jersey. I think the most annoying thing was when I was in a hurry to get going in the morning. It would take a whole extra half an hour to get moving. Put on a coat. Find where I left my hat and gloves. Scrape the ice off the windshield. Warm up the car...
I never really imagined what the opposite of that might be. Now, I'm still in Mesa, Arizona, where it is rapidly becoming summer. Here's the routine for heading out in southern Arizona... Put on SPF 800 sunblock. Find where I left my Sombrero. Pull several bottles of bottled water from freezer. Open car. Burn hand on door handle. Get in car. Burn ass on seat. Find towel to put on hot seat. Crank up air conditioning. Burn fingers on air conditioning knob. Put car in gear. Burn hand on gear shift knob. Put on sunglasses. Burn nose on glasses. Drive. Burn hand on steering wheel. Try to steer with my knee. Knee is too sweaty to turn steering wheel. Get back out of car. Run back inside and get oven mitts. That's the routine.
This is another from a great sunset in Saguaro National Park, eastern section.

I finally did it! I hiked the eleven mile round trip to this lighthouse on the Dungeness Spit. The spit is a result of the currents and tides created by the confluence of the waters of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound. I toiled over shifting soft sand, rocks, boulders, driftwood, sand flies and a burning sunburn! Forgot the sunblock. The hike takes about two and a half to three hours, each way! You are rewarded at the end by friendly volunteers of the New Dungeness Lighthouse Association Keepers. You can reserve a spot to be a "Lighthouse Keeper" for a week. Go to www.newdungenesslighthouse.com for more information.
The lighthouse is open to the public from 9-5, to anyone who hikes out to the lighthouse. You can also go by boat with reservations, but there are limitations on where you can boat. The new Dungeness Lighthouse is part of the New Dungeness Wildlife Refuge, which essentially means, the spit is off limits for exploration except on the northern side of the spit, which is essentially your unpaved trail to this well preserved, working lighthouse. The lighthouse is located in Sequim (pronounced "squim" for the non-natives) Washington on the beautiful Olympic Peninsula.
I took three exposures at -2, 0, +2, merged them in Photomatix and used Photoshop to compress the photo. Thank you again for your comments and for viewing my photo stream.
A beautiful sunny winter day and my first time visiting Foster Beach. The ice formations were amazing! I have more photos to sort from both cameras, but here are some quick ones from the iPhone for instant gratification.
I think I got sunburned - I didn't even think of it ahead of time but of course I should have put sunblock on my face
According to AccuWeather and two others prognosticators, this is apparently what 80% humidity and heavy overcast tending toward showers looks like. That's what was predicted for the entire area every hour, on the hour, while I was at the Outer Banks a couple of weekends ago. Being a "lemons to lemonade" kind of guy, I decided to go for it anyway... glad I did. Likely, the folks under those distant cumulus clouds can't make that statement. Anywho, this all makes me wonder what a good day looks like here.
I rarely go to the beach in the summer... it's just way too crowded. I had a reason to visit, though... I'm searching out some iconic North Carolina dark sky places to shoot comet ISON later this year. It won't work here with the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, as its light, which swings into view every 7.5 seconds, will be blown out in a 22 second exposure. Of course, you can block the lens for all but one blink, but you'd have to add that time back into the exposure and the stars would become dots and dashes... not good. For now, however, it makes for a nice contrastive daylight image of one of this state's true icons. Folks were touring the lighthouse... you can see them on the balcony around the light.
What you see growing here, for the most part, are sea oats... it's what they make Cap'n Crunch kid's cereal from (who am I kidding... I haven't had it in years, but I like it too! What's not to like? It's mostly sugar... and sea oats, of course). Actually, it's against the law to mess with them... they help to keep the dunes intact during windy conditions, which is to say they keep the island intact. The Atlantic Ocean is about 100-feet behind me here... the sun was reflecting off both that and this brilliant sand, which seemingly focused directly on me the whole time I was out there... even with sunblock, I had a little trouble sleeping that night, not so much because I was burned, but because I glowed in the dark. Things are back to a less radioactive condition now.
I wasn't entirely sure if this was appropriate, but I figured it wasn't actually that revealing. It's just my leg. But I'll say it anyway because people can be weird. Don't be a perv-it's just my leg. =)
So this was the day after I skipped a day. I just figured it was easier to skip it than to keep trying to catch up. Life has been so crazily hectic as is. =( It makes me sad but what are you gonna do? I fell a few hours after this. Face first. It's a wonder I didn't smash my face open...again. And Mav had to put his little foot in there. Is it wrong to call him a copy cat?
I don't want to know why this one was so popular, but thanks for getting my leg into explore?!
Katie finds nothing of actual interest at the "beverage station". I find the name silly, but since the only thing we do in this spot is make coffee, make & pour tea or other beverages, and feed the feline overlords, it suits the spot, so there it is. One of these days, I'll come up with something cheekier.
Save that sunblock I should have put away before snapping this, but hey.
i shouldn't have to show you this to prove that my mom is the coolest. but just in case anyone ever had any doubts...
she's the flippin' coolest.
(for lack of a more articulate word. one that a wordsmith like her would know.)
as i get older, and realize that this woman--a single-parent who managed to not only work in a crazy newsroom and put up with my brother's guns-n-roses "paradise city" being blasted at 7 am before school--somehow kept me fed and took me to art festivals and ballets and toted me to and from piano lessons, that i didn't practice for, and gymnastics classes and ballet and tap classes and pottery classes and a week at the beach every summer and walks in the neighborhood "following our noses" to the wisteria vines and makes me vegetarian lasagna and took me on a trip to the rainforest because i wanted to go before they disappeared,
when i think about how few hours i have in the day, as an adult, which i only recently conceded to becoming, i can't understand how she did it
really
it's almost superhero-ish
she is the ubermom
let's raise a toast to a mom who can jam on an african drum, say a prayer in tibetan, write award-winning short stories, make ends meet, dance the tango, and still find the time to spoon-feed you love til you feel like you're going to overflow
and i'll tell you a secret, whenever i would wait for her to pick me up from daycare after she'd been away on a trip or i'd really missed her that day i would sit there and plan out a huge dash to the gate once i caught sight of her
and run into her arms
so here's to running to your mommy's open arms
and appreciating her super hero qualities
and never taking a mom who'll dance in the sand dunes for granted
cuz, like i said, she's the coolest.
would it be weird to say my mom is the best thing that ever happened to me? since i happened to her?
well, i'll stick by it anyway.
happy mother's day, mom.
i promise to wear sunblock next time.
It was simply GLORIOUS to finally dig my toes into the sand and just sit and watch the waves roll up on the beach..
The weather this holiday weekend couldn't have been more perfect.
I'm still sensitive to the sun, so I only stayed down on the sand for about an hour or so, and of course I was all smeared up with sunblock, but Raven and I enjoyed every second of it!
