I convey my poetry visually because I'm so poor at in a written form. This was sunset from week ago which was truly epic. More to come from this outing.
“So, I said, when does the enchantment start? We were sitting side by side, facing the mountains. "It started when the earth was born." Her eyes were closed. Her face was golden in the setting sun. "It never stops. It is, always. It's just here.”
― Jerry Spinelli, Stargirl
" Je suis le Ténébreux, – le Veuf, – l’Inconsolé,
Le Prince d’Aquitaine à la Tour abolie
Ma seule Étoile est morte, – et mon luth constellé Porte
le Soleil noir de la Mélancolie."
Gérard de Nerval.
El Desdichado 1854.
On 3 September 2016, we had a fungi morning, which was quite rewarding and definitely fun. Our leader and friend, Karel, is very knowledgeable about fungi and he took 14 of us (plus Karel's two beautiful Beagles) on a foray to West Bragg Creek, maybe an hour's drive west of the city. We had been here a few times over the years, either looking for fungi or on botany outings.
Photographing our findings usually means that I am way at the back of the group or have fallen back with a friend or two. Consequently, the mushrooms have often already been plucked/cut by the time we catch up to the rest of the participants. I also miss a lot of what is being said about IDs and details. It would take far too long to write down the name of each find - each photo taken would have to be carefully numbered so that the right name could be attached and this would be such a hassle when out with a group. Since this outing, Karel has sent an email containing several photos along with IDs. The rest of my photos will have to be just nameless 'pretty pictures' : ) I must add here that any IDs that I give are always tentative, as I know so little about fungi. Another thing to add is that I never, ever pick and eat wild mushrooms!! Too many look similar, some edible, others poisonous. If you are not a fungi expert, never take the risk of eating any of them.
I met up with friend, Sandy, at 8:15 am and she drove us out to the meeting place. My drive from home was done with my windshield wipers on my new car working non-stop - was it raining? No, it had rained the day before - hail, too, on my gleaming new vehicle that I had only had for five days! I needed to clean the windshield, but, once again, I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to turn the wipers off. Amazes me how complicated the wiper options are!
Our morning walk started off by going across the small bridge not far from the parking lot, then part way up the hill and then bush-whacking our way through the forest. This walk, which ended around lunch time, was the main one, but we did stop at a small, gravel parking area a few minutes along the main road, to do a second walk to check for any different mushrooms. This extra walk has yielded a few beauties in past years. Perhaps the most interesting find was a very small twig that had several tiny, turquoise coloured fungi cups on it. The colour looks so out of place in a natural area. My photos of them did not turn out very well, but I did eventually post one of them, just for the very unusual colour.
From here, a few of us stopped at the Cinnamon Spoon cafe in Bragg Creek for lunch. Always a most enjoyable way to finish any outing. Before we climbed into the car for our return drive to Calgary, Sandy and I wandered into the beautiful Art Gallery, owned and run by Bob and Candy Cook. Named Branded Visuals Inc.(Printing Services/Wildlife Gallery), this small store is overflowing with Bob's absolutely amazing photographic works of art. Thanks so much, Bob and Candy, for remembering our chance meeting a number of years ago, down in Fish Creek Park, and for your overly generous words about my own photography.

Thanks so much, Karel, for giving us a great morning! We really appreciate your passing on your knowledge to us. The same thanks go to Suzanne, the mushroom specialist in Calgary. Sandy, really appreciated the ride there and back!
This image is clearly not meant to be beautiful. It's a visual interpretation of something I want to keep for me at the moment.
I took this photo from the side of Tiger’s cart to show her business name. I had to step back to get all the sign in and ended up with an image that appears to show Tiger’s Emporium located in the huge East Cliff House. I’m sure Tiger would be most impressed.
These are the ones! 6200 photo submissions to the OC Visual Arts Competition. I entered only a few this year because I traveled less due to moving, and some personal fitness goals. Feeling so privileged that these three made the cut . Can't wait to complete my 2016 photography / travel goals 😃

I hope you see it. If not, take another look.
I saw the potential for visual humour and quickly composed the shot to line up the hand sign with his arm. A moment later, he looked away, and the overall effect was lost. You see it, or you don’t. A moment that made me smile.
Many of my images have little elements like this, for those who look, to discover.

These pages are made from scraps on my work table. The
challenge was to make order from waste -- & not throw away even the smallest scrap.
Even though the term "remix" is commonly used to refer to alterations of pieces in music, with this artwork I tried to create visual art piece that allows interventions such as remixing.Under the assumption that it will occupy a personal space, it offers an opportunity for owner's everyday modifications of the artwork in question - the portrait of the girl can shift between the abstract and a mix of the two.
Thus, it is not the author only who decides what is an original artwork, but also the audience, who can participate in decision making by visually remixing it.
In a sense, this is a contribution to an overall attempt to remind the audience as well as the other artists that not only the author is dead, but the perception of an aura of the artpiece has been significantly changed.

This image captures the stunning optical phenomenon of a sun pillar. The sun itself remains below the horizon and will not rise for another fifteen minutes.
A sun pillar forms when sunlight reflects off tiny, hexagonal ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. These ice crystals, typically flat and plate-like, tend to align horizontally as they drift downward (assuming calm conditions). Acting as tiny mirrors, they reflect sunlight toward the observer, creating the illusion of a vertical column of light. Because the crystals are scattered at varying altitudes, the effect appears as a continuous, glowing pillar.
Thin, ice-crystal-rich clouds can enhance this phenomenon, as seen in the image. Interestingly, some observers initially mistook the bright patch in the sky for the sun itself, believing it to be obscured by clouds. It was only when the sun eventually rose—unveiling its full brilliance above the horizon—that they realized their mistake (see my next post for that moment).
This photograph was taken in southern Styria, Austria, near the Slovenian border. In post-processing, I aimed to preserve the scene’s original impression and depict the phenomenon as faithfully as possible. However, due to the high contrast between the sky and the landscape, I had to slightly brighten the foreground to maintain visual balance.
Here's my digital visual, coloured in photoshop from a sketch in my sketch book, formed the basis of my Samurai graff piece, prefer this sketch, but i am NEVER HAPPY!!!!! :)

My first piece of Visual Art - from Grindelwald in Switzerland. The scenery there was just amazing while I had to wait for my train to Interlaken. I had 15minutes to wait so it was clear to take some long exposure shots!

THANX for ALL your comments and visits, so appreciated, too many to be returned (sadly, however I DO try!... )
Each time I think... that's it, there's only so much you can do with flowers... and yet again and again, I'll see something new.
Being creative is not a choice... it is an urge in me.

Why not view the set as a slide-show?
Also I often upload more than one image at the same time, I see a tendency to only view the last uploaded...
