A cow and calf were browsing on willows on a sunny day in the interior of Alaska. The calf, out of photo, was a few feet to the cow's left. The cow was not alarmed by the photographer's presence, however, she did keep her eye fixed while eating. This encounter lasted only a few moments, then she wandered behind the trees out of sight of the photographer. The cow and calf remained in the area for quite a while, but this was the best photo of the experience.
This Wisconsin white-tail doe spends her days browsing for food among the flowers and keeping to her young fawn well hidden. Hence the expression "flora and fauna".

Taken a few miles from our home, a bull moose browses on the vegetation that grows on the bottom of a pond. Browsing in water gives the moose a break from the constant torment of mosquitoes that bite the moose. Most often, cow moose are seen in the ponds, it's a real treat to see a bull browsing.
Happy New Year 2016! I found that image while browsing to my pictures from 2015. I though some of you may like it.

We were browsing around a tourist information centre in Phillip Island last week when Sonia picked up a random map which happened to have an icon for a shipwreck marked on the southern coastline.
We had no idea there were any wrecks on the island so we excitedly rushed off to see if it would be suitable for the next mornings sunrise.
It was a half-hour walk around a couple of rocky, stoney beaches but as soon as we turned the final corner and saw this jagged old bit of metal sticking up out of the shallow water we knew we'd be back.
The tourism guy told us that it's only accessible at low tide, but we were there on high tide and it was perfect. Lower than this and the water would have barely reached the wreck since it's a really shallow bay.
This is one of my favourite shots from the trip.

Spectacular habitats to explore
Curriculum linked sessions
Equipment such as gps, environmental games and science resources available for use on site

Practical information
Facilities: once you have left your coach or cars, the Common has no facilities, however, adult groups may be able to make use of the nearby public house in Skipwith Village for a lunch time break.
Toilets: there are no toilet facilities on site and most sessions will be arranged for a half day due to this.

A potential buyer looking at some antiquarian prints in one of the many fascinating shops in Cecil Court, just off Charring Cross Road in London. This is 3 exposures with -1+ stops bracketing, then Photomatix for HDR and tonemapping, and finally Photoshop for the finishing touches.
We participated in Miranda's smash book. It was SO much fun.
I was a total slacker with getting these photos uploaded. :P

A pair of giraffes browse the bush for some late snacks as the sun sets in Chobe. Although hard to see in the dim light, the giraffe on the left is the male, with smooth ossicones, and his companion is female, with tufts of hair on hers.
Taming Light #17.
Deep in the depths these strange creatures of light feed on radiant filaments of green.
Well, that's what I can see. Perhaps you see something else? :)
For new viewers: These are light refraction patterns or 'caustics' formed by a light beam passing through a shaped and textured plastic form. Colour is added into the clear plastic which modifies the way the plastic hardens further enhancing the patterns.The pattern is captured directly on to 35mm film by removing the camera lens and putting the transparent object in its place. The processed film is digitally scanned for uploading. Please note these are not computer generated images but a true analogue of the way light is refracted by the objects I create.
View large to see the 'rainbow' refraction colours and the diffraction effects.

Hello
Since October I've had very little opportunity to indulge in any transvestite activities whatsoever. By this I don't mean those rare and wonderful moments when I do actively engage in dressing up as a woman but I have not even had much opportunity to go on line and discuss the topic on forums or browse the pictures of other cross-dressers (an activity I always find positive and inspiring).
I am very keen to dress as a woman but as usual I have no opportunity to do so. I found I had a few hours alone today whilst monitoring a job that requires periodic attention and have at last managed to get on line for some Helene time. As a result I cannot resist the indulgence to post another video I made in October as Helene.
I am aware my pictures and videos are barely looked at with very low viewing numbers but I never really expect anyone to look at them anyway. I've always felt the reward was the sheer daring of actually posting a picture or video on a public forum such as Flickr or You Tube. I acknowledge the content of my images and videos is highly personal and offers no insight or interest to other transvestites but as a transvestite who so rarely gets to cross-dress the outlet is important to me personally.
If by chance you are actually reading this then the point I am trying to make is do not be concerned with being popular and avoid the expectation of high views or comments. If you do receive them then that is undeniably nice and a bit of a thrill but I know my pictures and videos are not very good so I never expect others to look at them. As I say the main thing is the personal reward of actually posting publicly. Don't feel disappointment if no-one looks. To have had the nerve and courage to post publicly is, I find, reward enough and brings a sense of achievement and satisfaction.
There are certain T-girls on Flickr and You Tube who always attract a lot of attention and I know some feel disappointed their own pictures do not achieve the same response. This is not something one should feel low about. It's just how it is in all social groups, not everyone is popular and there are always those who are. One should enjoy their own indulgence in cross-dressing and gain from the excitement and contentment it can bring. Posting the picture publicly is a memento to oneself and that I find is truly rewarding. Any views or comments are nice bonus but not something one should place to much emphasis upon.
I acknowledge some transvestites do desire a lot of attention and compliments but that's human and to be expected. Not all of us can look great as women despite our inner desire to look feminine when we cross-dress, we can only try our best and enjoy the experiences. The popular transvestites who do attract attention I personally find to be inspiring in making me try harder in my own meager efforts to look like a woman. They do actually push me to more self reward so I'm pleased they post their pictures.
I am trying to stress that self contentment is more important than popularity. The popular T-girls are fortunate as they physically can look female. As we are men it is difficult for us to look female but the achievements of those who are rightly popular with browsers can aid us to get the most from our own efforts by inspiring and firing our enthusiasm. It's all about enjoying yourself and pushing your boundaries. Flickr has at times been inspiring to me and always gives me renewed enthusiasm to try and improve in my own cross-dressing efforts. We can't all be popular and acknowledging this will lead to more reward and contentment.
Have a great 2012 - Helene x
