Buildings as art. Architecture is often sited as an art form that adds an artistic element to something that is otherwise simply functional.
The West Block on Parliament Hill in Ottawa Ontario is currently undergoing extensive renovations and restoration. The work on the exterior masonry is being performed under full wrap. The bulding now resembles a more modern art project in the spirit of Christo and Jeanne-Claude.
As I was processing images for a client(a local Bed & Breakfast) this image struck me as very soothing to look at. There is something about the interplay of natural elements(the Clematis vine) with manmade elements(the statue and wood) that I felt had such a pleasing combination of complimentary contrasts.
The B&B where I shot this is Silverbrook Farm Bed & Breakfast near historic Hillsboro, Virginia. The original part of the house(still in use) was built in the mid 1700's. This image is in the outdoor shower area where guests can enjoy bathing under the clouds or stars. It is not my usual "category" of uploads to Flickr but, believe me, I shoot just about everything. (Except nudes/boudoir...) :) I have photographed almost every nook and cranny of this property, both indoor and out, and keep going back to catch moments in time such as this. The owner, a gracious elegant lady in her 70's, calls me to let me know that "such and such is blooming" or "the house and barn are going to be decorated for a wedding on Saturday so come at 2:00 and you'll have the place to yourself".
The photography I have provided her is now going into their new website and, hopefully, will bring her more business. She also tells me she is writing a book about the farm, where she has lived her whole life, and wants to feature my photography. If you would like to see more of this special place please visit my website and go to the "Bed and Breakfast" gallery.
Please take a moment and click on the image to see it large on a black background. I would challenge you to open it in the "Original" size to soak in the textures and details. Thank you in advance for looking at my work and for any comments, critiques and favorites. :)
And I would greatly appreciate it if you would not use my images without my consent.

About a month ago I posted a photo of the Potter House with most of its siding removed. A couple days later they wrapped it in this BLOCK IT stuff.
Not much has changed, since. We figure they're waiting on the county's inspectors before continuing the project.
This is like the previous setup, except that I moved the lights to cast far less light on her.
Strobist details: 2 285HV's, one of the left, one to the right, into a 16x56" gridded softbox. One 285 HV into a white 36" umbrella above. All optically triggered from the 144PC in my E-P3's hotshoe.
Two sailboat hulls roughly wrapped against the winter. They're up on a wharf in Boston's Charlestown neighborhood.
I never throw away bubble wrap. I have two boxes (big ones!) full of it in my attic. Whenever I get a package in the mail, and it has bubble wrap in it, I get excited. “Free bubble wrap!” The stuff is expensive if you have to buy it. I have things to sell on eBay. I’ll use it someday… I know I will!

A Korean dwarf lilac from the Hulda Klager Lilac Gardens in Woodland, Washington. I love the unique daintiness of these, and -- oh, my, the scent is so heavenly!
I know I say this about so many flowers, but lilacs are another one I struggle with photographing. I often don't comprehend what makes one so much more challenging than another, but these are clearly largely about having so many little flowers on them that it's hard to find a focal point, not to mention having so many points to keep in focus and still get a nice bokeh. I must have taken hundreds of shots in order to get one I like!

Dim sum is a style of Cantonese or Hokkien food prepared as small bite-sized or individual portions of food traditionally served in small steamer baskets or on small plates. Dim sum is also well known for the unique way it is served in some restaurants, whereby fully cooked and ready-to-serve dim sum dishes are carted around the restaurant for customers to choose their orders while seated at their tables.
Eating dim sum at a restaurant is usually known in Cantonese as going to "drink tea" (yum cha, 飲茶), as tea is typically served with dim sum.

Their diet consists mostly of small mammals, such as rodents, and sometimes reptiles, such as geckos and skinks. Prey is captured by holding onto a branch using the prehensile tail and striking out from an S-shaped position and constricting the prey. They often wrap around the base of small tree trunks facing down in an ambush position, waiting for ground mammals to prey upon. They position themselves next to pathways of small mammals which they detect with heat sensory pits in their jaw.

We decided to wrap dumplings (jiao-zi) today as we continue bunkering in during the CoV-2 pandemic. There's nothing like comfort food to help us get through these extraordinarily difficult times.

Japanese wrapped stones (also called 'Zen stones' or 'healing stones') are rocks that are wrapped in natural cane using Japanese basketry and knotting techniques. The wraps may be complicated or simple but the resulting fusion of rock and cane exudes a sense of peace, calm, and tranquility within intricacy of design.
Seen and photographed on display at Hakone Japanese Gardens in Saratoga, California.
This Target wrap dress is one of the oldest things in my closet. Sometimes it starts to feel a little played out - and then I am inspired to pattern mix with something new!

This weekend I was in attendance at a sledding party not too far from where I grew up. One of my best friends invited me to his family's annual winter gathering and of course I showed up with my camera and none other than the nifty fifty (50mm).
Throughout the day I captured candid moments of joy, laughter, hilarity, and love. Friends and family gathered on a day when the temperature climbed no higher than +8 degrees above zero all in hopes of flying down the hill the fastest and the farthest. Never mind that early on in the festivities you could not only see your breath but that the moisture from your breath crystallized upon your eyelashes. Never mind that it was so biting cold that even the (incredibly large) roaring fire could not fight off the chill for very long.
Ah yes, winter in Minnesota; it is not for the faint of heart nor for the easily shaken. Thick skin is required and if you come without it, be prepared to add multiple layers to your wardrobe as you will most certainly need them. You betcha.
More to come from this wintry, fun-filled, bone-chilling day...

Towards the end of the afternoon we were in the process of gathering everyone for their annual group photo when I turned to see that gorgeous winter light casting sweet glows upon everything it touched.
Miss Brea, someone whom I call friend but in my heart is also my family, had just re-wrapped herself in hopes of fighting off the bitter cold. I nearly laughed when I saw the look on her face because it was exactly what I was hoping to get from her. She's beautiful.
If you look closely, you'll be able to see her breath rising in the frost-bitten air...
Be bold, press 'L' for ... Love
