This photo shows a cozy café named "Bijou Bijou," located on a charming street in Grenoble. The café has a welcoming entrance with wooden doors and large glass windows, allowing a glimpse of the warm interior lighting. Above the entrance, there is a red awning with the café's name written in elegant letters.
Outside, there are several small tables set up with red chairs featuring white polka dots. The tables have a simple design with white marble tops, creating a stylish yet relaxed atmosphere. The arrangement suggests it's a great spot for enjoying coffee or a light meal outdoors.
The building's facade adds character to the scene, with light-colored stone walls and vibrant orange paint on the upper levels. Small balconies with black railings line the windows above, giving a touch of European charm to the setting. On one side, there is a wooden door that adds to the rustic appeal.
In the foreground, a single customer is sitting at one of the tables, engrossed in what appears to be reading or browsing on a device. The street itself is paved with stones, enhancing the quaint and peaceful vibe of this café corner.

Leafy branches that are offered to an animal are referred to as "browse." Tatu was enjoying his special snack, but I think he was also happy to see people. He often appears to be smiling.

I'm back once again, with the Olympus Trip 35, almost retiring the camera haha.

Not really much for words today as the work week has started off to be a slow one (Which I’m definitely not complaining about). Anyhow this photo was shot while I was living in Sweden. I took this Infrared shot in Stockholm at Bergianska trädgården, which translates into “the Bergian Garden”. Somehow I’ve seemed to miss it and came across it while browsing through my Infrared archive.
I really can’t wait until the weather gets warmer here and the leaves come back. Haha I’ve definitely been having a bad case of cabin fever lately!
Hope you all are having a great start to the week!

Christmas Lights - I was preparing to take a shot when I accidently pressed the shutter. I almost deleted it in camera but decided to wait. I am glad now that I didn’t delete the image as it has grown on me. Hope you like it too…

Skipwith Common, Yorkshire UK
Skipwith NNR is a 265 ha (660 acre) nature reserve and SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) - one of the last remaining areas of lowland heath in the north of the England. The Common of open heath, ponds, mire, fen, reed-bed,woodland and scrub is an ancient landscape. The Escrick Park Estate manages the land with the support of Natural England.
Along with Hebridean sheep and Longhorn cattle, Exmoor ponies graze and browse the scrub. This encourages regrowth and ensures that the incredible diversity will survive well into the next millennium.
Exmoors have carved a niche for themselves as conservation grazers. Their excellent dental conformation makes them very neat grazers with a clean bite. They readily graze on tough herbage that other animals will not touch allowing more delicate plants space to grow.
They are also employed by a number of county Wildlife Trusts, the National Trust and the RSPB.
Tonight I present a stream of consciousness exercise in linking three unrelated photos. Just for fun. To begin with, let's assume this bunny knows there is a cat in the neighborhood, which is why the bunny is running away.
Enter the cat. Perhaps thinking of bunny stew, and licking its chops at the thought. Unless the cat, seeing me there with my camera, is thinking about photographer stew.
The bird fits in because it is a CATbird, a natural segue. (If you're not sure how to pronounce "segue," here's a link:
dictionary.reference.com/browse/segue
The Catbird gets its name because it sounds like a cat mewing, but actually this bird makes a lot of other delightful sounds. Have a listen here:
www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Gray_Catbird/sounds
The other interesting characteristic of the Gray Catbird is the patch of rusty red feathers under its tail (the undertail coverts, as they say in the birding world). And perhaps this can link us back to the beginning, because we get to see the rear ends of both the rabbit and the bird. And that's the end of this tale, as well. Hope you've enjoyed it, and the photos too.

Egret on Chincoteague Island
While browsing through my archives, I discovered that I hadn't uploaded my revised and now preferred version of this image. So here it is.
Egret on Chincoteague Island | Version 2
I love how these birds surprised me when I spotted them. They are so quiet and purposefully still. Even though they are strikingly white, they are remarkably camouflaged in brush like this.
This painterly rendering is both bold and wispy at the same time, accentuating the strong texture of surrounding brush as well as highlighting a feathery lightness in the multitude of overlapping, multidirectional twigs.

We stopped off on our way to Forres through the lanes to photograph this wonderful tree covered in Hoar frost with the Northern Cairngorm mountains as its backdrop.

browsing the archive in these difficult times...memories of travel, puerto de la cruz, tenerife...high rise flats.
Opening the door of my mom childhood's home, memories begin to run wild and free towards me, fragment of my early summers, slowly spent capturing insects and drinking landscapes with sight.
After 15 years without, our home lets the daylight stream in like a long awaited lover's pleasure. The barrage falls, tamed. The wall smiles again, unbelieving. Each grain of dust dances madly in the limelight. Things come alive, again.
For a while my dad dims the stream with his own body. He's not romantic, but I'm sure his heart is aching like mine. This sense of abandonment is an exceptional wave of sedimented years crashing all at once, and us two just witness of the cruelty of time.
I browse those familiar 45 square meters like an archeologist. The dice of a funny calendar are frozen into 1986, dishes cry. I can see in the cupboard what films then fed my camera. Even the spiders' party has ended, every bed looks dead. Furnitures are still beautiful, soaked of tiredness and poverty. Old prints I'll bring away with us are smiling prisoners in a drawer.
How many times I played guitar here, where my grandparents one early spring night conceived my mother? How many times I still relive the summer night when I, fourteen, tasted for the first time the lips of a girl, Angela, first love, eighteen next-door neighbour, hair as blond as hay? I can clearly remember her starlit pupils, her softness; and the harsh contrast (the morning after) conveyed by the rage of my grandmother, who peeked at my sin from behind the leaves of the balcony door...
In the attic, under a decade of dust, a handmade high chair toy. The ghost of my grandfather, died suicide in his carpentry when her daughter was neither a teen, joyfully smiling at me finding something his hands did for her 50 years before.
With no slightest hesitation, the toy came down with me. Now, revarnished as new, it makes my daughter's dolls happy.
Hands to hands, Heart to hearts. Love to love.
One afternoon I walked to the park with my children. While there, I noticed three young children and the oldest sister (who looked too young for this responsibility) appeared to be in charge of her two younger siblings. As I noticed these children I felt so sad for them and concerned for their safety. I used my camera to take some pictures of nature and the middle of the three siblings was watching me. She began talking to me and was very interested in the picture I had just taken, my camera, telling me about her interest in taking pictures, her instant film camera which she doesn’t have film for right now, that she would like to have a camera like I had. I told her I hoped someday she could have a camera of her own and she said maybe she could when she was older. She asked if she could see the photo I had just taken so I showed her the image of the leaf on my camera screen and she really liked it. She told me an idea she thought would make a good picture—across an open, grassy area, looking into the sunset. I took a quick, simple picture which certainly wasn’t fantastic. I showed her the picture and she said she really liked it (I deeply appreciated her kind words) and I told her that the photo was inspired by her. I felt concerned and sad for this girl, afraid of what could happen to her if she met a dangerous person here at the park. I was so thankful that today she was talking to someone who didn’t intend to harm her, who cared about her and her wellbeing and I was thankful for the connection we made through our interest in photography. I don’t even know what her name was and to me this was a meaningful connection. Due to harmful interpersonal experiences (especially as a child) it’s difficult for me to connect with others and I was thankful that on this day I made a connection with this girl. I would struggle to put into words how these moments were helpful and healing for my own journey and I hope that in some way our time together was perhaps beneficial for this girl as well. While I don’t consider these images anything spectacular, seeing them does remind me of the meaningful connection we shared that day.

____________________________
As a way to cope with circumstances beyond my control, survive and work to keep fighting for life I decided to try to take at least one photo (or more) each day. I call this “a photo (or more) a day.” Practicing this form of therapeutic photography helps me work to focus on the present moment, gives me something familiar and enjoyable to focus on as I use photography skills that have become like second-nature to me and being able to view the images I capture helps me recall what I was thinking, feeling and noticing at the moment when I created the photos. More of the photos from this series can be seen on my Instagram account
I may not always have the energy, time or capacity to share photos from this series—especially with the very challenging circumstances my family and I are experiencing—and will do my best to continue taking a photo (or more) a day even if I’m not able to share.
If you would like to support my work and my family, one way you can do so is by ordering my zines:
Many thanks for your support.

Driving past Harwood Forest, Northumberland early this morning when we spotted this Deer browsing on the vegetation. Opened the window & rapid fired!!
It was -6C and raining water which of course froze immediately to anything it landed on. So the weather was foggy and super frosty. Why would anyone go out on such a weather? Well, if you want to get shots like this then your better be out with you camera! And I was.
Luckily my Sony and the Tamron Trio (17-28, 28-75, 70-180) are all weather sealed, so they didn't mind at all. And now they are drying up in a warm place and I'm browsing my photos.
I like this one as the rain shows up nicely and there's hint of red in clouds from the nearing sunset.
I shot numerous different versions (100+), but surprisingly this f/4 one is the best. Everything doesn't need to be pin-sharp in a landscape shot, a large aperture adds mood to the picture.
There are two Disney Store Limited Edition Brave items that were first noticed on the US Disney Store website on May 14, 2012, but were not part of the new arrivals group. In fact, when they were first noticed (by browsing on keyword 'brave') they were both already sold out. By next day, they were already not searchable by keyword (but the pages were still viewable via a direct link or product code). I wonder whether these were actually for sale at some earlier date, or are merely placeholders for a future release.
The items and web links to them are as follows:

The weekend street market in the Old Town's Grassmarket has returned as Covid restrictions ease. Including the music stall. So as well as having a photo stroll I got to indulge in my first browse of some vinyl records in many, many months, and very satisfying it was... (and yes, of course I treated myself to something, picked up a nice Ornette Coleman live album)

Black-tailed Deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus)
"The black-tailed deer is one of nine subspecies of the mule deer. It was first recorded by the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804-06.
Black-tailed deer live in the temperate coniferous forests along the Pacific coast. These forests are characterized by cool temperatures and lots of rain, but an overall mild climate. Black-tailed deer do not therefore migrate in response to seasonal changes, unlike some of the other mule deer subspecies. Instead, black-tailed deer often spend their entire life in the same general area.
Black-tailed deer can be distinguished from mule deer by their larger tail, the back of which is completely covered with black or dark brown hairs. Mule deer have smaller tails in which only the tip is covered with black hairs. Black-tailed deer are generally smaller than mule deer."

My dad and I went to grab this famous shot. There was a bus full of college kids hanging around there acting like idiots. A bunch of them had really nice cameras with white lenses everywhere. I never had this crap in college, how do they afford this, and why are college kids so annoying :)

Was browsing through nostalgia shit and I found some old pictures I never posted. Recreated one. That was a simpler time. Very few companies competing, brickarms didn't make star wars weapons, everyone used Little Arm Shop weapons, clone trooper voices in stop motions were chipmunks, sharpie was accepted, and Skype was the dominant way to communicate.
🙏 I'm glad I was able to expierence it all. If I had a time machine I would 100% do the same shit all over again.
For those of you that are new. I'm gonna tag some old heads that are no longer active. (Unless their lurking)
In April, I will have been on Flickr for 10 years. We going to wherever the cool kids party and soda is on me 😉
In browsing through some old photos I came across this one that I took on the Princeton University campus. It is out side the art museum and was created by Magdalena Abakanowicz.
Marta Magdalena Abakanowicz-Kosmowska (20 June 1930 – 20 April 2017) was a Polish sculptor and fiber artist of Tartar descent. She was known for her use of textiles as a sculptural medium and her outdoor installations. She is widely regarded as one of Poland's most internationally acclaimed artists. She was a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznań, Poland, from 1965 to 1990 and a visiting professor at University of California, Los Angeles in 1984.[Wikipedia]
