Lily was baffled. And she was a little annoyed because one of these strange tiny persons kept stomping around on her (empty!) tummy, not to mention the red cord that tied her to the wooden stretcher they had used to carry her to that beach. "Big Sands" it was called, she had picked up from the conversation the guy in yellow had barked into his walkie-talkie. What was she doing here, anyway? When Lily had decided to follow her great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather Lemuel's footsteps and set off to explore the universe she had expected to find her own adventures and not relive his. This wasn't even Lilliput but a strange Central Peuroean shore with a sea that didn't even have a tide. Something with Blatic. Or was it Batlic Sea? She couldn't remember. It was hot, she was hungry, and her shades were out of reach. She had to get out of there. ASAP. So she turned her head to one of the guys who all looked like construction workers and said: "I come in peace. Take me to your leader!"
"Have you ever seen someone so huge, John? I thought giants were myths." "Well, here she is, and she is a giant. A very pretty giant, I should add. So much for that myth", John said. James, wrapped up in thought, finally joined their conversation: "Do you guys think she's one of the Engineers who made us? One of the Preisers?" "Oh, come on, James, you watch too many movies!" Jim said. "Let's continue with our job and tie her up properly so she can't trample our sand castle before we win the sand sculpture competition. I know we'll win this year." "That's what you say every year", James said. At this moment, Lily turned her head and said: ...
This fun theme allowed me to not only use one of my Playmobil astronaut figurines (it's perfectly normal to have Playmobil figurines as a grown-up, isn't it?) I stumbled upon at a toy store while looking for something for an MM theme (I can't remember which) but also to bring back John, Jim, and James (please see my album if you like). Since John, Jim, and James are adventures of sorts, too, something tells me that this story will have a happy ending. After J, J, and J won the sand sculpture competition, of course ;)
The photography part was very straightforward and fast this time. The fiddly part was the setup, especially tying Lily to the wooden cutting board. At first, I tried to use pins to fixate the thread but the wood was too hard (or the pins too long and soft ̵– or both). So I fetched the thumbtacks, and that worked. But the tiny Preiser figures kept falling as it was difficult to place them on the cutting board because modeling clay didn't stick to the wood very well.
Sizewise the frame is almost maxed out. A regular Playmobil figure is exactly 7,5 cm/2.95 inches tall, and I arranged the scene so that not the entire Playmobil figure is visible in the frame. It's a single photo, processed in DXO, LR, PS (my signature), and Analog Efex (the frame).
HMM, Everyone!
P.S. I'm busy today and hope to catch up with you tonight!

I believe the hummingbirds are on their way south, because it's been a few days since I last saw one at my feeder. I'm keeping the feeder up in case a traveling hummer chances by. And I am posting this photo from the archives to wish them all safe travels as they make their long journeys south.
About this photo: in July of 2016, I was treated to the delightful scene of a female Ruby-throated Hummingbird bathing herself on the leaf of a large hosta plant, still wet with drops of water from the previous night's rain. She seemed to be thoroughly enjoying cleaning her feathers by moving her little body around on the wet leaf. It was such a treat to watch her.

I do not know where the leaf and bicycle started out but they ended up together. HFF and happy weekend.
I was travelling along an old highway looking for future opportunities, and noting the distant mountain. The sky was covered in a thick layer of cloud and it was also later in the day. But, when I came across a pull out, it was time to rest and just observe the landscape.
Not far away, a sliver of light was making its way through the clouds. It is incomprehensible to think the photons of light that are striking the distant mountain, started their journey from the sun 8 minutes prior. It is even more mind bending to examine how light starts at the center of the sun, and makes its way to the surface prior to that journey. In my travels, and thanks to photography, I get to experience some incredible sights.

I believe this peak is one of the many in the Fairweather Range near the Johns Hopkins Glacier, in Alaska's Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, but I could be wrong.
It's definitely gorgeous, what little I could see of it, on this late summer day in The Last Frontier.
After getting home, I started reading John Muir's Travels in Alaska, which is an amazing account of his three trips to the territory, starting in 1879.
In one chapter, he recounts being in Sum Dum Bay -- on the same day we were -- just 139 years earlier, which gave me shivers down my spine, just knowing I was seeing the same scenery and experiencing the same sense of awe and wonder he did over a century earlier.
This is one of the last shots of our mini road trip.
This was an accidental shot, I'd left the camera on spot meter and I really love the results.
This is just before Charlie got his new bling collar and bow tie.
I sort of like how this turned out even if the focus isn't perfect.
I was never sure he would be a good travelling companion, but he seems to enjoy going places.
The ride?
Not so much, but when he hears keys he is ready!

Homage to the little people.
I just wanted to thank the little people for being so cooperative over the past couple of months and also to thank the big people (you) for commenting and helping to encourage me with my work. I learned this morning that the little folk got some well deserved national coverage (see below link). They were all so pleased - I could barely get them to stand still for this photo!
