Because our world is not the same as Othello’s world. You can’t make flivvers without steel and you can’t make tragedies without social instability. The world’s stable now. People are happy; they get what they want, an they never want what they can’t get. - Brave New World, Aldous Huxley
because I wasn’t interested in anything other than taking pictures and developing them in my darkroom :-)

of the two young bucks that have been in my yard a lot these past few weeks. I was hoping he would walk into this area of my yard so I could get him with all the lovely vegetation around him.
He stopped to munch on some wild morning glory vines that are growing on the ground. Thankfully, these deer don't like any of the other plants he is amongst.
Because Canmore is situated in a mountain valley one side of town gets dark much earlier than the other side.
As I take a walk on the dark side, I see the sunny side still basking in the summer sun.

..because by the sound of things, not much is going to be happening in London over the next few months. All bars, restaurants, cafes, and cinemas ordered to close!
“The tourist seeks out Culture because – in our world – culture has disappeared into the maw of the Spectacle.
Culture has been torn down and replaced with a Mall or a talkshow- because our education is nothing but a preparation for a lifetime of work and consumption-because we ourselves have ceased to create".
Hakim Bey
Just because Christmas is over for another year doesn't mean you can't still indulge a little! A few days off work mean there's time to make many many batches of delicious mince pies — you simply can't beat the taste you get when you bake them yourself — the mincemeat *needs* to overflow and caramelise making a sticky gorgeous treat! They're topped with grated marzipan which toasts in the oven and goes all crunchy and almondy and sweet!
life goes on, somehow
I'm feeling the flood, the flood of a lot of work.
It feels like a thousand ants under my skin , the blood rushing, the heart running.
I should go out now for a minimum of one hour, a night walk. I should.
But maybe I only dress me for my ergometer...
A december like thia. No silent time.
But I try to walk as much as possible.
I prefer to start work a little later, because the end is alwasys open, every day.
Last night I had a good sleep.
But to do it again, I need to bring down my stress hormones.
Hahaha
I often debate giving Bryton a makeover. It's been a couple years.
Then I log him in and I'm like "LOL NOPE. 1097987% WOULD BANG!"

Thank you Kiara for the testimonial <3 If you guys aren't following her work, go check her out because she's amazing!
First afternoon off work because I felt like it...upon arrival...the realization that idle time is a burden set in...the mind wanders...there was only one solution...take a walk with the MKIII and the 100-400mm. After about 15 minutes in the still 85 Deg F heat I was done...my first thoughts on what to call this shoot was "Butterflies & B.S." A Variety of Things Seen.
The Swallowtails were on the Ironweed.

Ophrys sphegodes (Spinnenragwurz, earlier spider orchid) Leopoldsberg, Wien, Austria. I added another early spider picture from yesterday, because their appearance made me happy.

...because La Mer is ready to take your picture!
La Mer is wearing Squeaky Monkey and glasses from BHC. Her camera is from American Girl Place.
This cow moose (alces alces) seemed to have had her head submerged for ages before surfacing. That said, she had grabbed a fair mouthful of water weeds and disturbed a few more.She looked a little ragged because she was shedding some of her Winter coat. Photographed at Wolf Lake, in Yukon Territory, Canada. More at "Colin Pacitti Wildlife Photography & Fishing Travels" - www.colin-pacitti.com.
Because of the lighter color, I'm thinking this is probably a female. But I can't be certain. Warm days and cool nights. Gotta love autumn.

A herd of cows retreated under a row of trees overnight. Now that the first rays of the sun are dispelling the fog, there is some movement in the group. A few have already got up but still seem a bit lacking in motivation. The rest is still laying on the ground and probably set the alarm clock a little further ahead.
The biggest ox stands on top of mt. Lilienstein making pictures. Because he got up three hours ago already.
Eine Kuhherde hat sich über Nacht unter eine Baumreihe zurück gezogen. Nun, da die ersten Sonnenstrahlen den Nebel verdrängen, kommt etwas Bewegung in die Gruppe. Ein paar sind schon aufgestanden wirken jedoch noch etwas motivationsarm. Der Rest liegt noch da und hat wohl den Wecker noch etwas noch vorn gestellt.
Der größte Ochse steht oben auf dem Lilienstein und fotografiert. Denn der ist schon vor drei Stunden aufgestanden.

Because darkroom paper is orthochromatic, the colour response isn't what you might expect - the petals of this sunflower are actually yellow and the background should be black ...
Backyard wild daffodils in bloom in early March here on Vancouver Island. Because of their long association with Lent, daffodils are known as the "Lent Lily" as it blooms and dies away between Ash Wednesday and Easter.
This species has pale yellow tepals, with a darker central trumpet and grows from a bulb. The flowers produce seeds, which when germinated, take five to seven years to produce a flowering plant! (Source Wikipedia)

I found the Grebe because I was spending a couple of hours with the small flock of Goldeneye that call this part of the Ottawa River home - or at least their daily feeding spot - during the winter months. They will be off soon, and every winter I try to spend four or five days down on the shore ice along the River while they are here.
This male is beginning to perform the mating display that becomes quite a frequent occurrence right before they depart. After extending his neck, he will bend it back ward along his back, and then do a funny flutter kick and throw his head forward.
There is a part of the Ottawa River, due north of Mud Lake, that has what resembles a railway siding, where trains pull off the main line for rest or repairs. A strip of tree-covered rocks, maybe 150 metres long and ten metres wide, creates the siding. In it, the River runs more slowly, with less of the turbulence of the rapids outside the island strip. The Goldeneye and other visitors make that shallower and calmer water - still open, because it is turbulent enough not to freeze - a place to forage and rest.
They drift with the current from west to east, and when they get to the end of the siding, they fly back up to the western end and drift back down again. This is as good as it gets for winter duck photography here: the birds are active on the water and in their low, noisy flight. And the narrow siding means they are never too far away.
They are very frightened of people though - I have a couple of concealed spots, which freeze over in the winter but are now water or wet ground - and will shorten or alter their drift/fly pattern if people are present.
✦ The Nova Dress by Just BECAUSE ✦
The Nova Dress is more than attire—it is a symphony of aesthetic finesse and elegance. Like a violin tuned to perfection, it resonates with harmony and poise, each detail striking the perfect note. The sweetheart neckline opens softly, like the first bow against strings, while off-shoulder lace sleeves cascade with the grace of a lingering melody. Its fitted silhouette builds momentum like a crescendo, cinching the waist and flowing into a playful lace hem that leaves an echo long after you’ve passed.
✧ The Score of Style ✧
Every element is composed with precision: the delicate bow at the chest ties together innocence and allure, while scalloped lace edges soften the boldness of its modern cut. The included high heels complete the orchestration, a finale that ensures the look remains seamless from head to toe.
✧ Embroidery & Renaissance Origins ✧
The fabric hums with the intricate acanthus leaf motif, drawn from the opulent tradition of the Italian Renaissance. First played in the courts of Venice and Florence, these curling foliate scrolls became the favored ornament of nobility, a visual counterpart to the music of lutes and violins filling candlelit halls. Just BECAUSE revives this motif in modern form, digitally embroidered with PBR technology—each highlighted curve flourishes like notes suspended in air.
✧ Compatible Mesh Bodies ✧
• Maitreya LaraX
• Legacy + Perky

✧ HUD Options ✧

✨ The Nova Dress is a composition of elegance—every stitch, every shimmer, every lace flourish performing in concert, like a violin that never misses its note. ✨

Because youngsters love exploring and believe they can do everything the adults do, Junior left the security of the big tree, maybe to follow dad and then found himself unable to climb back up the tree again ! Grabbing one of my planters, he was desperately calling for help !! /
Parce que les jeunes n'en font jamais qu'a leur tete et revent de parcourir le monde et de faire tout ce que font les adultes, Junior a quitte la securite du grand arbre ou ses parents l'avaient mis a l'abri, peut-etre pour suivre papa, puis il s'est retrouve incapable de grimper a l'arbre pour retourner sur sa branche ! Accroche a l'une de mes jardinieres, il appelait desesperement ses parents au secours !!
...I was reading something about William Tell. Let's hope if he existed and the story is accurate that he was a better shot with a crossbow than I was with my cell!

Come away, come away with William Tell
Come away to the land he loved so well
What a day, what a day when the apple fell
For Tell and Switzerland
