Sometimes I think I try to get too close to my subjects, making it difficult to see the "big picture". Then again, with opportunities like this, who can blame me?
These are unreleasable, rescued raptors with the American Wildlife Refuge in the Triangle of NC.
England is having a mild wet Christmas time so an image from last February with a little snow. This garden ornament I know is of dubious taste; Mary feels I had a lapse of judgement when I bought it. However I rather like Ollie the Owl who sits in front of our sun house something in his face makes me smile. He is tough too and has survived a number of falls : I blame Mary she blames next doors cat.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT HAVE A GREAT DAY
Norma Kamali that is. I adore my new swimsuit. Girls, run to Norma Kamali and buy one. totally worth it. I had a hard time deciding which shot to post since they all looked good on account of the swimsuit. I decided on this one cause its fierce. haha. I am so not fierce.
I could have thrown these pictures away I say. Truth I probably could not. The sky was rather fruity and the out of focus view, confirmed with every setting available gave me some bright results to share. This is one picture in five edits.
Do not blame the Helios-44 2 it needs an adjustment to be made and secured. This Helios 44 ƒ2 one of the much vaunted Soviet copies of the Carl Zeiss Biotar 58mm ƒ/2 the Soviet manufactured ones with sought after wonderful bokeh both from factory standard output and also now with a growing multitude of modern fanciful adjustments many making dream like pictures. The adjustment to reach to reach precise Star Focus is possibly going to feature in later uploads.

shot taken at the SF Zoo.
This image is dedicated to my father who was a veterinarian and encouraged my love of animals from a very young age. He allowed us a cat, a dog, a turtle, a hamster, a guinea pig, but when I asked for a monkey he drew the line. lol, cant say I blame him!
I truly believe that he would have truly enjoyed some of my animal portraits.
This one is for you Dad!
Blue-faced Honeyeaters, as you would expect, have brilliant blue patches around their eyes. Juveniles have green/yellow patches which they must grow out of. This young bird, seen at Indigiscapes had a definite orange cast to the patches. Clearly thinks it is my mistake.
Peter Iredale Shipwreck: A four-masted steel barque sailing vessel that ran ashore October 25, 1906, on the Oregon coast en route to the Columbia River. Peter Iredale was bound for Portland, Oregon with 1,000 tons of ballast and a crew of 27. The voyage up the coast was unremarkable until the night of October 25th, when Captain H. Lawrence sighted the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse at 3:20 a.m. local time. The crew altered course to enter the mouth of the Columbia River in thick mist and a rising tide. Under strong winds out of the west, an attempt was made to wear the ship away from shore, but a heavy northwest squall grounded Peter Iredale on Clatsop Sands. William K. Inman, one of the lifesavers who helped Captain Lawrence ashore, remembered that the red-bearded captain stood stiffly at attention, saluted his ship, and said “May God bless you and may your bones bleach in these sands.” He then turned and addressed his men with a bottle of whisky in his hand. “Boys,” he said, “have a drink.” The British Naval Court later ruled that the sudden wind shift and the strong current were responsible for the stranding of the ship, and that the captain and his officers were “in no wise to blame.”
Off to Toronto on holiday. In terms of conceptual stuff, I might be a little quiet until mid august. However, I am still hoping to post my 365 stuff from my iPhone if I can get wireless access. See you soon!
it's probably just the effect of couple of glasses of wine or whatever and I am happy to blame wine to clear my conscience, the shot goes directly against the grain of my self-imposed "do not photograph "things" " principle as it (seemingly) is a photograph of a "thing" " , no more no less, but my inner voice said "you can take it, it's ok" and I I have no idea why it is ok but I feel it is
the scene is in the middle of our 5 minute stroll from our stay to out local pub , taken obviously on the way back, which explains a lot I think
PS I got no clue what's inside of this fine establishment , I should visit some day
For those who dont know Foster Blaine , he is an American poet at Poemhunter , who was not just critical about my poems but also of my being a poet.His remarks were racist, he felt only those who spoke English lived in America have a right to be called poets..
Well I dont blame him, knowing the overall attitude of American towards the sons of their soil the indegenous American Indians..I am only a Brown Indian ...during Moharam I become a Red Indian..
Some stone sculpted American women hearts would prefer to call me a Dead Indian..
I leave behind my verse to soothe their premature hopes and aspirations..

Offshoring
An empty bag of wind
Made in USA
And so encouragingly
Adoring
Caiapahas like
Poem temple priest
Head made of Gold
Body of silver
And all held up
By mud bathed clay feet
One leg in the grave
This war headed
Poetic beast
An obituary in advance
Before he ends
As deceased
His scarred tarred soul
To the nether regions released
To say the least
Cybernetically we celebrate
