Heidi thinks it’s important to train your humans. Once you know how it‘s done it‘s fairly easy she says. You just need to let them know who‘s the boss and find out how to push their buttons. So if you think your human is lazy and the floors need cleaning, just pee on all your paws while in the litter box and then go tour the whole place. You’ll be surprised how fast your servants jump from their couch and start a thorough house cleaning.
Have a happy weekend everyone! I‘ll be doing some cleaning, I guess 😂

Perhaps a bitter pill to swallow. Grand daughter Livia is allergic to the dog, so anytime she is over she needs help with that. When got them out I said...."wait a sec" and got the camera.
Walking through the magnificent botanical gardens of Singapore. Flora at its best. Think Green vs Live Grey...
Hi my friends! I was missing taking photos these days.
The cold weather doesn't help so much. I don't have a good car to travel safely in the snow routes and the cold weather is not good for the health of my daughter, so here I am at home.
So I think landscape photography it should wait a little and I should try other things, don't you think?
I hope everyone is having a good holidays season.
Here in Portland Oregon we are having some days with snow and that is not so regular. Crazy weather.
Stay cozy my friends Winter is here at this part of the world.
Attention Ladies & Gents (yes boyz you too)....
Breast cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the breast. It is considered a heterogeneous disease—differing by individual, age group, and even the kinds of cells within the tumors themselves. Obviously no woman wants to receive this diagnosis, but hearing the words “breast cancer” doesn’t always mean an end. It can be the beginning of learning how to fight, getting the facts, and finding hope.
Women in the United States get breast cancer more than any other type of cancer except for skin cancer. It is second only to lung cancer as a cause of cancer death in women.
Each year it is estimated that nearly 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,000 will die. Approximately 1,700 men will also be diagnosed with breast cancer and 450 will die each year. The evaluation of men with breast masses is similar to that in women, including mammography.
If you'd like more infromation here are 2 great resources..I worked for the American Cancer Society and I provided services to women and men with breast cancer.♥
Was immer du tust, vergiss nicht, dass wir nur diese eine Welt zum Leben haben. Wenn wir sie schützen und mit Ehrfurcht behandeln, wird sie es uns danken.
We only have this one world to live in. Don't forget that. If we treat her well, she will thank us.

#DutchAngle
Please press "Z" :)
A very unusual (for me) MM contribution in quite a few ways, because it is a photo that I have neither taken at home nor specifically for the "dutch angle" theme – this fluffy feather was a chance discovery at last Wednesday's (fabuloutastic, I should add) photowalk at the Olympic stadium; I didn't even think about the theme when I found this pretty feather in a corner of a step of one of the many, many staircases there. And of course this isn't the photo from that walk that I'd planned to upload first, either ;-). But often things don't turn out as expected (something which happens a lot lately when it comes to MMs), and that's not always a bad thing.
This small feather, about 6 cm / 2,3 inches long, came to my rescue when my original idea didn't work out – which every way I tried to make it work (it was a small spoke reflector which I'd once found in the street; the idea was to capture its distorted reflection which made it look like a flowing piece of honeycomb, something that came to my mind because of the reflector's honeycombed structure; well, to make it short, I never managed to get the distorted reflection sharp enough so it would be pleasant to look at; maybe I can still make it work later... I also tried to magnify those honecomb patterns inside of the reflector by using the extension tubes and the Raynox DCR-250 close-up lens – but, no, it wasn't meant to work).
But back to my "Olympic feather": Most conveniently, I had already taken it at a dutch angle (Mr Freud, can you hear me?). It is a single handheld picture taken with the Ricoh (the GRIII rocks!) which I've sharpened in Topaz Sharpen AI, and then further processed it in Nik's HDR Efex Pro – I started with the "En Vogue" preset "Cool Deep" which I'd then still tweaked a little here or there. And because the staircase I'd found this feather on had been in a shadowy corner of the stadium (and the feather in an even more shadowy corner of the step), the DNG outcome was rather dull; to add some much needed light I went into ON1 where I added a "Sunflare" texture filter to the upper left corner of the image; back in LR I added the preset "Soft Fog" and tweaked the luminosity and saturation sliders for a dreamy look.
HMM, Everyone, stay safe and healthy!
Nicht das, was ich eigentlich für's Thema machen wollte, aber das passiert mir in letzter Zeit häufiger ;-) Meine ursprüngliche Idee war es, die verzerrte Spiegelung eines kleinen Speichenreflektors (ein Straßenfund) auf einer Spiegelfliese zu fotografieren; die Verzerrung ließ den Reflektor wie ein fließendes Stück Honigwabe aussehen, was auch schön mit der wabenartigen Struktur des Reflektors korrespondierte – nur wollte es mir partout nicht gelingen, der Verzerrung zumindest ein wenig Schärfe abzuringen. Ich habe dann versucht, die Wabenstruktur im Innern des Reflektors mithilfe der Zwischenringe und der Raynox-DCR-250-Makrolinse zu vergrößern, aber auch hier hatten die Endergebnisse zu wenig Schärfe.
Irgendwann, es war schon ziemlich später Abend (wie immer), gab ich frustriert auf. Zum Glück fiel mir dann die flauschige Feder ein, die ich letzte Woche zufällig auf einer der unzähligen Stufen des Olympiastadions entdeckt und aus der Hand mit der GRIII fotografiert hatte. Die Größe (gut 6 cm) passte, den Winkel hatte ich bei der Aufnahme (unbewusst? Freud lässt grüßen, denn vor Ort hatte ich überhaupt nicht an das Dutch-Angle-Thema gedacht) auch schon passend schräg gewählt... Warum also nicht, auch wenn diese Feder nicht das Foto ist, das ich als Erstes vom (außerordentlich schönen) Fotowalk dort hochladen wollte. Ich habe das Bild dann in Topaz Sharpen AI nachgeschärft (Modus "Stabilize") und in HDR Efex ausgehend von der Voreinstellung "En Vogue: Cool Deep" bearbeitet. Was dann noch fehlte, war etwas mehr Licht bzw. Leuchten, denn die Feder hatte auf einer der Treppen auf der Schattenseite des Olympiastadions gelegen und das DNG war recht flau und trüb. Also habe ich in ON1 noch eine "Sunflare"-Textur drübergelegt und in LR die Weißtöne aufgehellt und als Abschluss noch die Voreinstellung "Weicher Nebel" (mit zusätzlichen Veränderungen meinerseits bei der Struktur, Luminanz und Sättigung) für ein weicheres, verträumtes Aussehen verwendet.
Manchmal kommt es eben anders, als man denkt, aber das muss ja nichts Schlechtes sein ;-) Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde, passt weiterhin gut auf Euch auf!
Think she help clean up after the storm....Nope !

I think this is my first time experimenting with a multiple daylight long exposures, I took 400 shots at this famous spot on Xinyi Avenue, and then picked five of them to create this image.
1. Clouds (one exposure): 192 sec., f22, 11mm, ISO 200 + ND8 + ND400 + Black card.
2. Traffic (four exposures): 1 sec., f22, 11mm, ISO 200 + ND8 + Black card
3. Processing: Adobe Camera Raw + CS6 + Google Nik Collection
Have a great day!

What a luxury that would be !
While I sit here at the computer with a hot water bottle strapped to my sciatica via a knotted flanno shirt, and another hottie waiting for me already in bed ( hot water bottle ), the pain is finally easing and I just want to be lulled to sleep, with no dogs barking at wallabies, no getting up and down to let the girls in and out ... in and out, all flamin' night ... just want to ease my mind of all the stuff going on lately, all the things I'm supposed to be doing but can't, all the humans who've annoyed the crap outta me lately, all the favours other people expect from me with no thought of lending me a hand,
…. all the ... all the … zzzzzz…..
Off to bed extra early folks, a huge thank you for all your support, with apologies I'm behind in some visits, and other visits too quick with faves and no comments, a stream of unanswered/unread Flickr mails waiting … I am so blinkin' tired..
no ed's..
Weeds in the wind, late afternoon, up the bank from the river bend, just down the road from town.
The light is from ther glare off a tin roof.
I could've sat there for longer the other day.
I like this large..

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
I see street photography as a privilege. The right to photograph anyone and anything in and from a public place for the purpose of art and documentary is not universal around the world. Rights can be taken away at any time, especially when abused.
I shoot courteously and always respect my subjects right to refuse to be photographed. I have always deleted shots when asked to do so.
On Thursday in Glasgow I was harassed by another street photographer. I don't have to justify why I turned my back to them as they tried to photograph me and I am not a hypocrite for doing so despite their protestations that I 'had a nerve'.
However, if someone indicates or tells you that they do not want to be photographed, if you continue to photograph them over and over again what you are doing can be classified as harassment, a criminal matter. Don't be a jerk and don't bully people.
I reacted out of a place of trauma and I am not proud of that but, as you all know, harassment formed a major part of causing my trauma in the first place. The point is that we, as street photographers, have a responsibility to treat people respectfully. This is deeply important if we want our 'rights' to continue in a world becoming increasingly wary of photographers and 'surveillance'.
This is why I take one shot and move on.
You don't follow people, chase them, take multiple shots or feel affronted if they refuse to be photographed.
Take care my Flickr friends. Take photos. Be kind to one another and I wish you a wonderful week in this crazy world.
I think its probably been over three years since I have photographed a Robin. Something I would look forward to every winter when they come down from the Mountains and can be found closer to home. They visit the farm every year so I was able to play with this lovely make Flame Robin (Petroica phoenicea) who was rather bold and posed for me nicely on this pole. I couldn't get near the females.
Our time ended on abit of a sad note when I found the resident Echidna that has featured in some of my photos hit by a car out the front. She was alive so I stood by her to stop other idiots speeding past and doing more damage while the Sherpa got a box and some gloves (very spiky animals).
None of the Vets were open so we got in contact with Wildlife Victoria. We eventually got connected with a lovely couple who were wildlife carers 20 minutes away and took the echidna there. She was hit on the nose which is their most sensitive part. I couldn't tell what other damage had been done. My main concern was that she was in pain and suffering. The couple were a retired nurse and medic so the echidna was in good hands and will get pain relief. The carers will take it to Healesville Sanctuary and if it can be saved, it will nursed back to health and released right back where we found her. I am hoping for a good outcome.
With a lockdown in place it is against the rules for me to go to places I like to shoot, so I though I would try to create a series called Isolated creativity. The series is not intended to be a diary but a way of documenting thoughts and emotions via photography.
I've felt a bit like Pink Rabbit over the passed few day. I'm not fed up and depressed by the lockdown but by the people who think that it's okay to break the rules. By the tabloid media that run stories that convince people it's okay to go out and about, when it Isn't. By the political points scoring that has started to appear in all forms of media.Lastly I fed up with second home owners that have turned up during lockdown and appear to be going out and about most days.
Just like Pink Rabbit I have the blues.
