[Sept. 2007] Quite possibly my favorite shot of the whole week*, taken by a random stranger of the male persuasion who grabbed my camera and insisted on taking a picture with me in it. (I will take credit for doing the 'art directing' though, once I handed over the camera.)
This photo somehow captures the look and feel and spirit of the Burning Man experience -- for me (because Burning Man is so many different things to so many different people).
*I just got back from the playa --literally-- and I have hundreds of shots to sort through, so that might change...but for now... :)

Eastern long-necked turtle
It had its head just poking out of the water. With a tweak to the contrast, the photo came alive.
The easiest thing in life is to give advice to other people.
The hardest part is following this advice yourself.
Some of you may have seen our increasingly woeful UK Prime Minister, just before our recent election, saying that the naughtiest thing she had ever done was to run through a field of wheat as a child. I thought I’d try and recreate that historic scene, using Alirium as the setting and a new pose from Foxcity that seems to fit the bill perfectly. History relived before your very eyes!
Macro Mondays -- theme "Kitchen"
This is a thing-a-ma-jig that, allegedly, can help in opening those tough jar and bottle lids. I say allegedly because I've never tried it. I use a different kind of a gadget. :-)

And here is 'Wild Thing' by 'The Troggs' (1966). Check out the hilarious, though still rather 'groovy', video clip:

Looking forward to spring, when the green will become the thing again. Fresh and full, not warm, not cold, you can almost hear the forest growing. And birds will sing again. I'm really looking forward to this music...
Setup: camera, me, beautiful nature and natural/ambient light...
Location - My home in Serbia :)

The Rotterdam Port Authorities informed me that by night the 'thing' illuminates a part of the shore line. On my picture you can hardly see the light component.

The sun was setting quite fast as we could finally hear the EMDs wind up for their climb away from the Potash plant and head into Bootlegger Canyon.
Pair of Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers (male L, female R) working a Shag-bark Hickory. They set a trap by pecking a small drill hole into the tree's cambium. Rising tree sap exudes from the hole and attracts insects that the bird returns to feed upon.
Fairly uncommon migrant that passes through this area from about 6 April - 11 May on its way to its northern lower Michigan breeding grounds. Return southern migration occurs 27 August - 27 September.
Usually seen as a single bird. Two at once is rare for me.
You're my other half
You're what makes me me
What makes me smile
When I fall down and can't get back up, get back, get back up
On my feet
Without you here I am boring
Something inside you is triggering
It makes me myself
Makes me funny
You're a beautiful thing
We're a beautiful beautiful thing together.
I dedicate this to the dude who makes me complete.
Happy Valentines friends!!
