In a timeless ritual of men and the sea, the fishing boat, Newfoundland Mariner, takes her leave of St. John's harbour and heads out into open water to try her luck.
I'm not sure what the man on top of the bridge was doing - perhaps just enjoying the view
This mushroom out front has tipped over. We had a bit of rain recently and the mushrooms are coming out. This is the view 180 from the other view!
Gosto bastante do tom desse azul, acho uma fofura!! Mas não posso dizer o mesmo desse glitter...é bonitinho, mas totalmente dispensável! O comprei por insistência da minha mãe, que achou bonito e diferente...Ela disse: -Leva,leva...é bonito!! E eu disse: -É melhor não mãe, tem um litro de base pra 1 ml de glitter!! Mas não adiantou, ela teimou e eu acabei trazendo!!rsrs
Aí, eu com toda paciência do mundo tirei um tantão de base dele com a seringa, o que deu uma melhorada!! Mesmo assim, pra aplicar na unha fui quase que colocando um a um com o pincel, pois passando normalmente não dá!
Usei:
1x Base
2x Flor Azul do Cerrado
Bingo
1x TC Colorama
Couldn't have wished for this Female Banded Demoiselle to rest in a better position. I had given up earlier in the day with the wind being far too strong, but conditions were much calmer in the mid evening when i decided to return to Colwick Park, it was well worth it. E-M1/100-300mm
Come visit the Top Slice Bakery for Loaves, pastries and much more! Grab a coffee to go from the cup kiosk.
All items baked on the premises in the 'flour' tower.
Soldier beetle on top of a Sea Holly (Eryngium planum) in the garden. I have no idea what the beetles below are doing!
Probably something to do with their alternative name!

This shot was taken 20 minutes or so after sunset atop a rock that was dry up top but being buffeted by waves. It was at the base of Cape Spencer lighthouse which takes a bit of getting to but well worth the steep climb. .....actually , looking at the versions I think this was just the single shot in the end - longer exposure resulted in whiteness everywhere on the water.
Workflow (now standard for most images I process)
- Exported from lightroom as a 16 bit TIFF (cropping and rotating in lightroom)
- Layer 1: adjustments for levels and shadow highlight
- Layer 2: (duplicate of layer 1) - surface blur for areas that need noise reduction (eg skies, underexposed areas
- Layer 3+: Various colour selection layers for colour balance (in this case, the ocean blues to boost cyan and blue, the sky to boost magenta and red slightly)
- Layer 4: 50% neutral gray overlay layer for dodging and burning and sometimes for enhancing colours.
- Layer 5: High pass filter - around 2-3 pixels on vivid light - this layer gets placed underneath the surface blur layer to avoid sharpening the smoothed bits.
- Image flattened and if needed, lens distortion adjustment for vignetting.
- saved as 8 bit TIFF for printing ,
- resized /bordered/watermarked with actions for flickr /web

One of the most wonderful thing about the the twin city is its surroundings. Starting from the Margala Hills National Park at the edge of Islamabad, the range of Himalayan foot hills starts which seems to be never ending. In a single day trip there are so many options for everyone, either you are a trekker or just fond of picnic in a nature.
These mountain peaks toward north takes you to the nice town of Murree, also known and Malika-e-Kohsar, which mean the Queen of Hill. Being only at an hour drive northeast of Islamabad, its a place where lofty peaks tower above green pine-covered slopes, and is the most popular and visited summer resort in Pakistan.
As you move forward, there are series of Galis, small towns like Daryagali, Khairagali, Dungagali & Nathiagali.... which are more peaceful than the bazaars of Murree and there are so many options of small hiking trips.
One of option is Mukshpuri, a beautiful hill, second highest of peak in the region with a series of wooden spurs toward Jhelum Valley. The 9,200 feet above sea level, take a look at the beautiful Top of Mukshpuri.
Taken: Mukshpuri Top, Dungagali Natiagali, Galyat Region, Pakistan
”Need Washing ??
A little girl had been shopping with her Mom in Target. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful red haired, freckle faced image of innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the earth it has no time to flow down the spout. We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Target.
We waited, some patiently, others irritated because nature messed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child came pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day.
The little voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in 'Mom let's run through the rain,' she said.
'What?' Mom asked.
'Let's run through the rain!' She repeated
'No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit,' Mom replied.
This young child waited about another minute and repeated: 'Mom, let's run through the rain,'
'We'll get soaked if we do,' Mom said.
'No, we won't, Mom.. That's not what you said this morning,' the young girl said as she tugged at her Mom's arm.
This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?
'Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, 'If God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!'
The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes.
Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life. A time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith.
'Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If GOD let's us get wet, well maybe we just needed washing,' Mom said.
Then off they ran. We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and yes, through the puddles. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars.
And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet.. I needed washing.
Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, they can take away your money, and they can take away your health. But no one can ever take away your precious memories...So, don't forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories everyday. To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven. I HOPE YOU STILL TAKE THE TIME TO RUN THROUGH THE RAIN.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them. Send this to the people you'll never forget and remember to also send it to the person who sent it to you. It's a short message to let them know that you'll never forget them.”
