You're beautiful and that's for sure

You'll never ever fade

Your lovely, but it's not for sure

And I won't ever change

And though my love is rare

And though my love is true

I'm like a bird

I'll only fly away

I don't know where my soul is (Soul is)

I don't know where my home is

And baby all I need for you to know is

I'm like a bird

I'll only fly away

I don't know where my soul is (Soul is)

I don't know where my home is

And I need for you to know

Is your faith in me brings me to tears

Even after all these years

And it pains me so much to tell

That you don't know me that well

And though my love is rare

And though my love is true

Scientists have discovered the sub-atomic particle that confers density.

They've called it the Moron.

 

What’s the last thing you want yo hear a nuclear physicist say ?

 

Oops.

Not sure who was moving more... the eagle or me. On a moving boat with camera handheld. He came right up beside our boat.

 

Taken in Cape Breton on the way back from my puffin tour to the bird Islands.

 

Sure sign winter is on its way.

Sure, it looks solid, but I wouldn't step "onto" the river if I were you. You'd be stepping "into" a heap of deadly trouble!

They sure love "sappy" trees, and they are very beautiful birds.

 

I really loved the challenge of photographing this one!

 

I do believe it is the first image of one that I have ever got of this particular species of bird.

 

They are very shy, so getting close enough to them is not easy!

 

Thank goodness for telephoto lenses! :-)

Walking in Sural valley is delightful; not much of up and down on the way, only silence accompanies you...

im pretty sure that instead of getting better at bringing my ideas to life, im getting worse... its hard to tell, because my ideas themselves, i think, are getting a lot better and a lot more detailed... however i find myself over the past few months feeling scared to shoot my personal work, and really doubting that i can create anything, which is the absolute last thing i want to feel. i havent hardly been shooting personally at all (since march ive only made 3 photos that havent in some way been commissioned), and ive realized its REALLY taking its toll on me - photographically, but also emotionally. creating imagery through my camera is my rock in life and ive been smacked in the face and really reminded of the girl i was before i had that rock, and that girl is the last person i want to be again.

 

ive decided its time to rest my wings and focus on the important things again. i feel like i go through this same conversation in my head about once every three months, but i never actually do anything about it and each time the feelings get worse. life lessons can be a pain in the butt, but ive finally made a pact with myself to stop booking new paid work after september so i have time to actually try to be the photographer i want to be.

 

oh yea, also my pro account expired, so apologies for my old stuff disappearing. ill probably scrap together some change and renew soon.

 

power line stock. ahhh i wish i could have used this better...

 

- on an added note, i want to say thanks to everyone for all the super nice and encouraging comments, but also wanted to let everyone know that by no means am i stopping or falling any bit out of love with photography! its just a matter of practice, and ever since i began photography ive never spent this little time on my own work! so i feel like that lack of time is holding me back from growing at the same rate and obviously is resulting in less work which i dont like! and i actually think this piece is successful, otherwise i wouldnt have uploaded it... i think its just farther away from what i intended than my earlier stuff, which is a setback! :P -

Not sure how 'wild' they were, as I think they lived in someones yard, but it was still a treat to see; Copacabana Beach, Central Coast, NSW.

A Trip over the pass between

Derby Canyon and Eagle Creek N.E. of Leavenworth...horrible road, recently logged, but still some good scenes and sights.

He sure does like to talk about himself.

Rudy's not quite a fan of snow yet. Really he doesn't care for it, he just doesn't like to be cold.

Not sure if this is a fly or a beetle - probably a pollen-eating beetle of some kind but it didn't have any wing casings. Seemed quite compliant about having it's picture taken though and it's face has some character...

 

Helios 44 on an M42 macro-focussing helicoid (finally found one that fits the A7II) which didn't get me quite close enough so attached the Marumi achromat too. Cropped it a bit as well :-)

If you walk by my street shoot and you are funny, you might get a chance to be in the shot. His buddy’s gave him hell.

Sure you are.

I had a difficult time with this image. I could not hand hold this and get a clear shot. Shot after shot was blurred. The ISO was getting higher and I was cursing at the Bear to stay there longer. I had to go to the car and get my tripod and do a longer exposure with the remote.

That lid came down on him so many times.

Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday

I've been taking way too many pictures of cats that are not my own. That has got to change. In the mean time, here's Oscar. He's an American Curl and will probably not be show-worthy because his ear folds look like they'll be "taco" instead of "C" shaped. She'll know for sure next month when the curl is completely developed.

Sure, today they may wear bows in their top knots and their self-important air may make them seem like they have royal roots, but Yorkies have a rather unglamorous background of catching rats and other vermin in underground tunnels. This instinct still comes out in their play (offer a Yorkie a stuffed mouse, and you’ll see what we mean), and owners can put it to work in non-competitive AKC Earthdog tests. This sport allows dogs to test their ability to pursue caged rats underground.

-Sure looks a long way down! (shakily)

-Getting down is the easy part-it's getting back up that's the killer!

 

After a ferocious wind and t-storm, these baby wrens ended up in the tiny crevice of the window...think their nest was destroyed...

But they stayed together, and DID make it back up the next

night!

It sure makes a difference to know there is someone beside you, whether in spirit or in body...

 

Not sure what kind of dragonfly this might be, if anyone can tell me I'd sure appreciate it....I know I lost some of the detail in the light, but oh how I loved the gold!....and maybe, just maybe.... if I had focused differently, I might have captured both the necessary detail and gold....ideas?...

 

Enjoy the weekend everyone, so glad you stopped in♡.....Pat

 

Not sure if my spelling is correct here either,i wanted to use this title for a while but i was waiting for a shot i thought was worthy.I got the description from a section on Rabachs Glen from a book of the mountains of the Iveragh, Beara and Dingle Peninsulas that i had and have since lost by a brilliant mountain photographer Adrian Hendroff and i always thought it had a nice ring to it.

This was another unplanned shot,as i was out on the rocks further out in Allies Bay i noticed this incredible glow on the mountain behind the village.I rushed back just in time to capture this.Back out to the point to get some shots of the skellig islands the western tip of the Iveragh Peninsula and the Bull Island off Dursey,back over the beach then to get the moon over the village and down onto the beach to get the stars at night.An incredible evening and the next one was nearly even better out on a secluded little beach in Coulagh Bay.

Ballydonegan Beach Allihies Beara Peninsula Co Cork.

That's a lot of gardening that needs to be done....think I'll just hide myself so she won't ask me to do it.

Not sure why it is called Aleppo pine; this beautiful tree is more common in the Mediterranean the further west you go and must be rather rare around Aleppo in Syria.

Aleppo-Kiefer

All I am sure of with this insect is that it is big and has colorful wings.

Sure, another robin, sue me.

Not sure what prompted me to do this one, maybe the Level 5 water restrictions we now have? Possibly some photos I was looking at the other day. Anyhoo, it came to me as I was going to bed and I just had to work on it the next day.

 

The text on the back of it reads...

 

'drought relief...

 

An entire country, grinding to a halt, waiting for the drought to break. Searching the skies for a sniff of moisture, praying for even the smallest drops to fall. Remembering water aplenty, before the earth turned dry and the disappearing green mask revealed the red dust below. Optimisim that the glittering fields will one day return so that we may practice such harsh lessons learned.'

 

The background is a piece of embroidery canvas painted by hand (quite literally, I used my hands rather than a brush!) with felt and buttons stitched on top. I don't actually like the red frame, but until I find a darker colour this is it...

 

***eta - thanks so much for your response! It's fantastic! Feeling the love!

 

Someone mentioned below about the greenery in our garden, despite the restrictions. We made a decision 2yrs ago to stop watering and simply let everything die that required water. We lost a lot of plants, but the ones that are drought tolerant survived, and so we still have a lovely garden. The lawn is another story! Its a great big dustbowl!

 

The people I feel sorry for are those who make their living out of the land. Naturally the farmers who have been doing it tough for so many years, but also the people who mow lawns, plant nurseries, gardeners, turf layers. They are all having to find work elsewhere to supplement. Its amazing how much we all rely on water...

Pulling in the next roll of Arista Ultra 100, using Rodinal then Xtol with very varied lighting from the east to the western sun. Was very surprised at the level of grain with the low iso (EI100) approximated. I did see that the temp of the Xtol was higher than the usual 20/68, but wouldn've thought that would've decreased the grain a bit. At least film wasn't fogged due to a kind airport security person let me have a hand check of film rather than go through the new CT scanner roentgenogram type. Thanks to the flickeranians who continue to shoot, post and amaze us.

Kodak Elite Chrome 100 (expired 2001)

Converted to B&W in Lightroom

 

I've shot lots of expired slide film and usually have good results, but this roll came out quite underexposed. I decided to convert the pictures to B&W as I felt they looked better that way.

Overwintering adult Mourning Cloaks are one of the first butteries to come out when the temperatures get warm. It was a beautiful 70 degrees and this one was enjoying the day after a long winter's rest.

 

Green Ridge State Forest

Allegany County, Maryland

They sure do steal your heart the moment you see them, hoping to get back up to see them next week.
