Every once in a while something changes
And she's changing me
It's too late for me now, I am altered
There is something beneath
She's not acid nor alkaline
Caught between black and white
Not quite either day or night
She's perfectly misaligned
I'm caught up in her design
And how it connects to mine
I see in a different light
The object of my desire
Ooh, let's talk about chemistry
'Cause I'm dying to melt through
To the heart of her molecules
'Til the particles part like holy water
If anything
She's an undiscovered element
Either born in hell or heaven-sent
Either way I'm into it
The Alkaline Ponds are interesting bodies of water east of Mammoth Lakes, California. At our previous workshop we spent a morning and evening here. This view is as we left our vehicles and walked down the depression to one of the ponds.

With landscape elements like this - blue water, white alkaline deposits - and warm morning light, any bird would look great. That most of the birds present were American Avocets put it over the top for me, and I ended up working this relatively small area for a couple of hours (with one 15-minute break in the car to warm up, as the morning was much colder than it looks).
This pond is part of a larger wetland area along the margins of Chaplin Lake, which forms critical habitat for migratory birds. The saline waters produce huge numbers of brine shrimp, which in turn feed countless shorebirds, waterfowl, gulls, and other migratory species en route to their breeding grounds.
These avocets were easy to photograph, as they quickly accepted my presence while I alternately sat and lay flat in a not-too-damp spot near the shore. Part of success in wildlife photography - or any photography - is recognizing when you're onto something good. This may seem obvious, but it isn't always so. For years I watched my students misjudge a situation and spend too much time in an unproductive location or walk away from some fantastic light because they didn't see its potential. There is no substitute for experience, but sometimes a little nudge or hint from a good instructor can serve as a useful guideline.
The other side of that - and the difficulty in teaching any of the visual arts - lies in not wanting to interfere with real creativity. It's good to experiment with unpromising materials, and it's good to fail, because that's how we learn. Years ago, someone asked me, "How do you teach photography? CAN you teach photography?" My answer was, "I don't know." I can certainly teach exposure and depth of field and how to behave around wildlife and being aware of the light. The creative part? That is our personal journey. We do that part alone.

"Can I be honest?
I'm getting scared of fading out
Hearing the whispers
They say I'm old news now
All that I've wanted
Is being ripped right out my mouth
Can I be honest? Can I be honest with you?
Is there composure in the pain?
Can I ever find my peace?
Will I ever balance me?
Took the shot without the aim
Hoping I would feel something
Will I ever balance me?
They swore that I'd be fine
But nothing feels right
They swore that I'd be fine
There goes my alkaline
They swore that I'd be fine
But nothing feels right
They swore that I'd be fine
There goes my alkaline
Will you be honest? Am I just inside my head?
Know that I panic, 'cause I'm scared of losing this
Do I sound crazy? Losing faith on accident
Will you be honest? Can you be honest with me?
Is there composure in the pain?
Can I ever find my peace?
Will I ever balance me?
Took the shot without the aim
Hoping I would feel something
Will I ever balance me?
I know that
They said it
They lied and I bought it
They swore that I'd be fine
But nothing feels right
They swore that I'd be fine
There goes my alkaline
Swear that I have been trying to change
Balance got the best of me
Vertigo inside my brain
Dizzy, trying to find some peace
Emotions got the best of me
This alkaline's become my pain
They swore that I'd be fine
But nothing feels right
They swore that I'd be fine
There goes my alkaline
(Swear that I have been trying to change)
(Balance got the best of me)
(Vertigo inside my brain)
(Dizzy, trying to find some peace)
(Emotions got the best of me)
(This alkaline's become my pain)
I know that
They said it
They lied and I bought it"

Mono Lake is a majestic body of water covering about 168 square kilometers. It is an ancient lake, over 1 million years old -- one of the oldest lakes in North America. It has no outlet.
The spectacular "tufa towers," calcium-carbonate spires and knobs formed by interaction of freshwater springs and alkaline lake water. It also protects the lake surface itself as well as the wetlands and other sensitive habitat for the 1 – 2 million birds that feed and rest at Mono Lake each year.
This is the yellow form -- ochroleuca means pale yellow-ochre -- of the marsh helleborine. Moist, alkaline dunes are a favoured habitat; occurs at scattered locations throughout the UK. The marsh helleborine is more common in Eastern Europe.

Chrysanthemum indicum is a flowering plant commonly called Indian chrysanthemum, within the family Asteraceae and genus Chrysanthemum.
Chrysanthemum indicum grows up to 1 m (3 ft) tall and 0.6 m (2 ft) across. It usually blooms from August to October, producing yellow or white flowers and yellow pollen.
It grows outside under sunlight with moist soil. It can tolerate light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils. The soil can be acidic, neutral, or alkaline.
Chrysanthemum indicum is a plant of the temperate zone but it can be grown successfully outside the area such as in tropical areas as it is often cultivated in Southeast Asia with moist soil (pH around 6.5) in sunny weather. It can handle temperatures down to −10 °C (14 °F). Seeds can be sowed between the range of August to October. It usually starts to grow in 10 to 18 days at 15 °C (59 °F).

Why, so many years ago, I deciced to darken *some* backgrounds for some floral images. I'm uploading two at once, so I have no idea which will come up first, but if it's the one with the natural background, when seeing an absolute field of Indian Paintbrush, I couldn't distinguish one flower from another. So many flowers have indistinct structure, they blend from one flower to another. I decided to see what I could do with a single Paintbrush, and I'm very happy with it.
However, I do understand that a good blurred (depth of field) can make the subject pop just as well and give a better idea of habitat. Still, the "artist" in me demands a little more skill, and I'm still trying to perfect it by first composing and focusing well. When I return to aloe, you'll see many more closeups with black backgrounds. I like them, and I want you to have something to talk about after I'm gone (not that I'm going anywhere soon so talk about me now if you so desire).
Castilleja, commonly known as Indian paintbrush or prairie-fire, is a genus of about 200 species of annual and perennial herbaceous plants native to the west of the Americas from Alaska south to the Andes, northern Asia, and one species as far east as the Kola Peninsula in northwestern Russia. I have never seen a profusion of these flowers more than in the western half of Washington state and, in this case, at Nisqually Meadow on Mt. Rainier.
Uses: The flowers of Indian paintbrush are edible, and were consumed in moderation by various Native American tribes as a condiment with other fresh greens. These plants have a tendency to absorb and concentrate selenium in their tissues from the soils in which they grow, and can be potentially very toxic if the roots or green parts of the plant are consumed. Highly alkaline soils increase the selenium levels in the plants. Indian paintbrush has similar health benefits to consuming garlic, though only if the flowers are eaten in small amounts and in moderation.
