His brother was equally photogenic, and humoured me, too.

(I wish I had more opportunity to shoot portraits with the Mamiya. It does well with people.)

Because there were still leaves on the trees, the weight of the snow caused branches to split and trees, themselves, to fall, often landing on power lines.

Because of his tiny black whiskers and a pun, his name is Black Beard.

Rhiw Fachno (Machno Quarry) is the old Slate Quarry at the head of the Machno Valley in Rural Conwy. Since my Mother moved to the village of Cwm Penmacho 18 years ago I have loved this place.

The quarry ceased working in the 1960s and since then the once busy village has become largely characterised by holiday homes.

Because this room is on the 2nd floor with the other bedrooms, and so small, I'm guessing it was a nursery.

'Because after the night the day begins...'

Somebody sent me an e-mail the other day asking me if I've become a "slacker" as I don't seem to bird as often anymore. Well, I've always been a "slacker", but that's got nothing to do with it. To be honest, I'm kind of sick of the stupidity and small-minded ego driven bullshit that seems to go hand in hand with birding. That doesn't mean that I've stopped birding, but rather that I no longer participate as much in the public aspects of birding. I'm still out there. I just don't discuss it publicly as much as I used to.

The other thing is, the last couple of years I have spent months at a time away from home working. So when I'm home, I'd rather spend time with my family than discuss whether or not John Q's most recent sightings are bogus or not. As a matter of fact, I'd rather drink bleach and vote republican than have that discussion again, but that's beside the point........

Because You Love Me by Celine Dion

For all those times you stood by me

For all the truth that you made me see

For all the joy you brought to my life

For all the wrong that you made right

For every dream you made come true

For all the love I found in you

I'll be forever thankful baby

You're the one who held me up

Never let me fall

You're the one who saw me through through it all

You were my strength when I was weak

You were my voice when I couldn't speak

You were my eyes when I couldn't see

You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach

You gave me faith 'coz you believed

I'm everything I am

Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly

You touched my hand I could touch the sky

I lost my faith, you gave it back to me

You said no star was out of reach

You stood by me and I stood tall

I had your love I had it all

I'm grateful for each day you gave me

Maybe I don't know that much

But I know this much is true

I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak

You were my voice when I couldn't speak

You were my eyes when I couldn't see

You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach

You gave me faith 'coz you believed

I'm everything I am

Because you loved me

You were always there for me

The tender wind that carried me

A light in the dark shining your love into my life

You've been my inspiration

Through the lies you were the truth

My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak

You were my voice when I couldn't speak

You were my eyes when I couldn't see

You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach

You gave me faith 'coz you believed

I'm everything I am

Because you loved me

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

because sometimes words arent enough.

Because NICTD can't own property in Illinois, Metra actually owns this South Shore Line's parking lot. I think it also gets all the revenues the parking lot generates. This isn't nearly as unfair as it sounds - after all, Metra does help fund the South Shore Line, so at least some of those revenues go back to NICTD.

Macy's fireworks, East River.

Because I was on a ship with Mario Cuomo, we had the best slot on the River.

Nothing in front of us but the Coast Guard.

But, Hey, everyone in Greenpoint and on the FDR drive had the same view. Only difference here is I couldn't use a tripod,

Can't wait to see what people do with High dynamic range in photoshop with this night.

Macy's is over the top..it's too much stuff.

Fireworks are like sunsets everyone has them in their camera. They don't translate. You want to remember the excitement and record it for the emotions, But it's just in the moment. Like sex.

In the desert

I saw a creature, naked, bestial,

Who, squatting upon the ground,

Held his heart in his hands,

And ate of it.

I said, "Is it good, friend?"

"It is bitter--bitter," he answered;

"But I like it

Because it is bitter,

And because it is my heart."

- Stephen Crane

we found this lying on the beach and it made me think of this stephen crane poem.
