Those iconic red telephone boxes. But no Dr in sight. It seems the Tardis is a Police box not a red Telephone box!

Those brown seed pods will soon fall to the ground sending their seeds into my flowerbeds to try to start a forest there.
Those lazy days of Summer. What more could you want than the sun, a hammock and a good book to read?

The Bridge of Lions, that crosses the Intracoastal Waterway in St. Augustine, Florida, gets its name from the two Carrara marble Medici lions statues that are copies of those found in the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence, Italy. The storm was approaching when I caught this shot.
On a personal note, I just went over 16 million views on Flickr his month. Thank you for all the visits!

Those endlessly overgrown thickets that might at some dim time in the past been lovingly called boxwoods, were now in a state of complete abandonment. Their foully twisted branches and withered mottled leaves, a living testament to the stunted mutations which everywhere abounded prolifically; from the flat, impossibly abhorrent crabgrass that leant a cancerous appearance to the brown lawn, to the fungal rotten and moss encrusted line of sickly maple that spread their eerily shaped silhouettes over the warped root and down the cracked and falling front of the elder structure
Oh, another one of those stitched panorama macro shots where the subject is to large to fit in frame, right?
Wrong. This blunt stretch spider (Tetragnatha obtusa) is absolutely small enough to fit in frame (as can be seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52807137438/), but since the top and bottom was just pure white, I figured I could get away with cropping that away and make this a 21:9 image.
And the trickery doesn't stop there. This is also rotated 180 degrees as I found this one upside-down in the veranda ceiling so I had to get a stool (which was a little too high) and shoot this with the camera upside down, pressing the shutter button with my left pinky finger (my mom took a photo of me looking very elegant here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52806686381/).
This is a focus stack, but instead of just taking multiple shots while moving or shifting focus ever so slightly, here I actually lowered the camera and rested between two shots because of the awkward position and still somehow managed to get the exact same angle and focus where it was needed - I'm as surprised as anyone!
Looking closely at this spider, you can see what will be its doom. On the back of it, there is a larvae of the parasitic wasp Acrodactyla quadrisculpta which has attached itself and will eat of the spider - but not enough to kill it until the larvae is ready to pupate.
For years, I have been shooting them whenever I come to the 17-mile drive in Carmel. This time, I 've got to try to shoot with cinefilm.

Today is Sadie's 3rd birthday. I just got home form her party. I will catch up on all your photos tomorrow.
I managed to get really close to this Great Horned Owl during a birds of prey demonstration a few weeks ago. Too close, really. It was hard to resist those eyes!
Margam Abbey now consists of the intact nave and impressive surrounding ruins. Those ruins not belonging to the church are now owned by the County Council. These remains, including the unusually large twelve-sided chapter house, dating from the 13th century, stand within 840 acre (3.4 km²) Margam Country Park, close to Margam Castle. The Abbey church of St Mary, the ruined Chapter House and the Abbey undercroft are all Grade I listed buildings.[3][4][5]
On a hill overlooking the abbey stand the ruins of an outlying monastery building, Capel Mair ar y Bryn ("the chapel of St Mary on the hill"). The purpose of this building is thought to have been to allow members of the monastic community who were engaged in the keeping of flocks to fulfil their devotional obligations without having to return to the main church.
This was so funny. I think they need some time in a real school. It honestly is like living with the Minions. I am glad Gerrie set him straight.
Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday
Into My Own
by Robert Frost
One of my wishes is that those dark trees,
So old and firm they scarcely show the breeze,
Were not, as 'twere, the merest mask of gloom,
But stretched away unto the edge of doom.
I should not be withheld but that some day
into their vastness I should steal away,
Fearless of ever finding open land,
or highway where the slow wheel pours the sand.
I do not see why I should e'er turn back,
Or those should not set forth upon my track
To overtake me, who should miss me here
And long to know if still I held them dear.
They would not find me changed from him they knew--
Only more sure of all I though was true.

Another of those postcard type images I captured walking around the grounds of Gateway Arch National Park. Composing the image and metering was a matter of finding that centered point from a nearby rise to fill the arch while including some nearby people walking about. Including people was also useful for perspective to fully take in the immense size and scale to the Gateway Arch. And yes, towering above! Metering was then a matter of finding a shutter speed that seemed to best capture the dynamic range across the clouds to brighter points reflecting some sunlight which came in and out of clouds to the west. I finished up post-processing work in Capture NX2 by adding a few CEP filters (Low Key, Polarization and Graduated Neutral Density) for the final image.
This may a strange one for my fellow foto artists and foto journalists, but I wanted to post this because I went by accident, to a place I never dreamed I would go.And never had a desire to go before. To a high school reunion. But a friend ,Melissa, had a ticket for me, and I went. It was so healing. When I quit my foto modelling and film acting profession, 9 years ago, I changed direction as an artist and to explore the metaphsyical and spiritual side of my being. Also as stress and losses and sadness weighed on me, I changed physically. I feel so ugly and heavy with pain at times. To go to this reunion tonight and to find out that most people liked me. I inspired certain people, and that I was able to heal old wounds. Also make my apologies and write bad off feelings and the hurt that I had afflicted on my old girlfriend Glenna Kimbrough. It was wonderful. SO here is a piece dedicated to this night and all of those people I shared with most of all. A piece showing me how Looked when I stopped my work 9 years ago, and me now, in the last two on the right now. PEACE and here is to healing our old wounds so that we may go forward and ascend into a higher realm of knowledge and service...

One of my favourite places in Dorset. Mupe Bay. Sunday morning there was barely another soul around. After shooting down at the ledges, James and I headed back up to take in the views from the cliff top. As we sat and chilled out, the beauty of the scene captivated me. The Jurassic Coast ranks with the Great Barrier Reef and the Grand Canyon as one of the recognised natural wonders of the world!
THOSE GUILTY LITTLE PLEASURES...
We ALL need them, he?
MMMMMMM, irresistible... euhhh to be photographed... and then (of course) savoured...
Macaron is a sweet meringue-based confectionary made with egg whites, icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond powder or ground almond and food colouring. The French macaron is commonly filled with ganache, buttercream or jam filling sandwiched between two cookies. Its name is derived from the Italian word maccarone or maccherone. Not to be confused with the English MACAROONS!!! These here are the fancy French kind, not the rustic, chewy, coco-nutty variety.
The confectionery is characterised by its smooth, domed top, ruffled circumference (referred to as the "foot"), and flat base. It is mildly moist and easily melts in the mouth.
Macarons can be found in a wide variety of flavours that range from the traditional (raspberry, chocolate, caramel) to the new (marmite, matcha). The fillings can range from jams to ganache to butter. Above: Venezuelan Chocolate, Vanilla, Raspberry and Passion Fruit.
Lead a sweet life!

Amsterdam, 2019.
Muiden Castle (Dutch: Muiderslot) is a castle in the Netherlands, located at the mouth of the Vecht river, some 15 kilometers southeast of Amsterdam, in Muiden, where it flows into what used to be the Zuiderzee. It is one of the better known castles in the Netherlands and featured in many television shows set in the Middle Ages.
The history of Muiden Castle begins with Count Floris V who built a stone castle at the mouth of the river in 1280, when he gained command over an area that used to be part of the Sea of Utrecht. The Vecht river was the trade route to Utrecht, one of the most important trade towns of that age. The castle was used to enforce a toll on the traders. It is a relatively small castle, measuring 32 by 35 metres with brick walls well over 1.5 metres thick. A large moat surrounded the castle.
In 1296, Gerard van Velsen conspired together with Herman van Woerden, Gijsbrecht IV of Amstel, and several others to kidnap Floris V. The count was eventually imprisoned in Muiden Castle. After Floris V attempted to escape, Gerard personally killed the count on the 27th of June 1296 by stabbing him 20 times. The alleged cause of the conflict between the nobles was the rape of Gerard van Velsen's wife by Floris.
In 1297, the castle was conquered by Willem van Mechelen, the Archbishop of Utrecht, and by the year 1300 the castle was demolished.
In the Fourteenth century (ca. 1370-1386) the castle was rebuilt on the same spot based on the same plan, by Albert I, Duke of Bavaria, who at that time was also the Count of Holland and Zeeland.

Those traveling by canoe up the Ottawa River can use utilize this underpass to carry their canoes to the Mattawa River, located a short distance from the passageway, and avoid the strong currents at the juncture of the Mattawa and Ottawa Rivers.
Those who frequent Southport on a regular basis, even those who live there, won’t be able to recall many occasions when the sea was coaxed close to sea walls. Therefore, the town has had to live with an enduring myth that the sea tide never comes in. This isn’t entirely true, but its sparse appearances only add to this impression.
We went on a few really cool night hikes in Madagascar, one in search of this little Mouse Lemur. We found one - with the help of our guides of course - otherwise we'd still be wandering around in the dark woods.
