Thank you so much Heinz for this little piece of art.
Artists enjoying the scene at Aldeburgh. I loved the valerian and mallow in the foreground with the boat on the horizon.
The fans are out in force to capture what will soon be history as CSXT's ex Pan Am local BO-1 noses out toward Lowell Street on the South Reading Branch with MEC 517 leading five empty tank tank cars from the Rousselot plant and one spacer after making the trip out to deliver the final load. The plant is winding down operations and will be closing later this year after being in business in some form for 206 years and with rail service for 173 of those!
The conductor will activate the signals and then flag traffic as the train steps out through the middle of Peabody Square in front of the District Courthouse and beneath the 50 ft tall Soldiers and Sailors monument built in 1881 and inscribed with the 71 names of local residents who died in the Civil War. Prior to 2016 if you'd taken this same shot the monument would have been behind the train in an island in the middle of traffic at the center of the square. However in early 2016 a more than $3 million project to reconfigure the square led to it being moved 30 ft back to this new plaza in front of the courthouse that the train cuts right through. This truly unique and remarkable location will see what may very well be its final train ever two days later when the local returns one more time to retrieve the last empty and take it back to Boston ending an era.
Fortunately, there will be no lack of photos, and the memory of the last trains will live on in stills and videos for future generations of fans to marvel over what once.

I thought it strange to see a fly smack in the middle of this stabilimentum, until I looked closely and saw the spider legs...

Since the first day of summer was on June 20th and the temps are heating up, I hope this video might cool us down. An excessive heat advisory/warning was issued here for the next 3 days. Stay cool!
I generated four Firefly video clips and put them together in Adobe Express. Audio is Morning Birds/water.
Text prompt I used for all - Capture a waterfall in a hand blown jar or glass container with summer flowers surrounding it.
It's funny how you can use the same one but get different results.
Filters and audio are from Adobe Express.
Thanks for your views, comments, awards, invites, and faves.
Lately I have had so many life-changing experiences getting to spend intimate time with other creatives, so I am now offering photography retreats called "Capture Inspiration", and the first is in Chicago on September 21-23 Click below to read more!

Model here is the brilliant music artist Lucy Schwartz who I did artwork for. We discussed what the artwork would look like at length, and then went to create something magical together. I really liked how it turned out and am super thankful I could collaborate!
I love when I capture a snowflake that makes me think “starburst”, and this one most definitely fits the bill. It’s a beautiful crystal on many levels, so please view large!
This snowflake had humble beginnings as a simple plate, but immediately after growing beyond the very center, it becomes a mystery. The star-like shape is on a different level that gives way to ridges running down the branches, very reminiscent of a “skeletal form” type crystal which is rarely seen. The top plate’s growth is hindered by the bottom plate’s dominance, creating a framework that is supported by the ridges as they continue between the two layers of ice towards the middle.
The branches are also peculiar, right near the center, it’s as if branches tried to form, but fused back together into a full plate which would label it as a “sectored plate” type crystal. These types of snowflakes usually have clearly define lines running 30 degrees from each corner where the “branches” meet each-other, but here that’s replaced with pairs of small branches that appear as twins at the 30-degree offset mark.
The outer branches make this a “broad dendrite” crystal with the trident tips, which likely formed as the snowflake began to fall to Earth and entered a layer of more humid atmosphere. There are many classifications for snowflakes, but few of these crystals belong to just one category of growth. There are layers of complexity and dynamic shifts in atmospheric variables that make snowflakes change from one pattern to another. Personally, I find that if these patterns shift and the snowflake retains its symmetry it becomes among the most beautiful snowflakes I capture.
This image was shot at roughly 8:1 magnification and is a combination of 35 separate images focus-stacked together. As with all of my snowflake images, it’s photographed outside on a home-made black mitten and shot entirely handheld. The handheld process is essential for me to work quickly and get the best images of the snowflake before it starts to fade away, and it allows me to rotate the camera around the snowflake as the center of rotation quickly. This is needed to hit the “sweet spot” for lighting where the ring flash reflects as glare back to the camera and illuminates the flat surface of the snowflake. There are a lot of variables that need to come together quickly to make an image like this possible!
If you’re curious about all types of snowflakes and how they form, or if you just want to learn all of my techniques in-depth to create images like this yourself, you’ll absolutely want to pick up a copy of Sky Crystals – www.skycrystals.ca/book/ - 304pg hardcover book that covers everything you could ever want to know about snowflake physics and photography!
This capture made my top 10 list for 2020. This was also one of four pieces of mine that was placed on display at Roswell City Hall as part of a Roswell Photographic Society exhibit. It subsequently won the mayor's choice award! It was taken earlier this summer, in the Roswell Area Park. www.facebook.com/292602241411808/posts/624941888177840/
I tried this b/w version of the original color shot, upon suggestion by Jim Hemauer. It's a choice picture from a larger set of 19 pictures, taken at a sandbox game in Roswell Area Park, Roswell Ga.

This image was taken just as the tricolor heron was coming in for a landing. He is sporting his courting colors and feathers in this image and always a pleasure to watch.
In front of the municipal office / railway station of Delft, a new building will arise, the so-called Delft House. Until that time, the uncultivated land has turned into a colourful field of tulips, planted by pupils of several secondary schools. Many people visit the place to enjoy and to take pictures.

capturing a butterfly
with a camera
makes a great metaphor
for freezing fleeting bursts
of magical moments
each flitter is a unique gesture
which passes in an instant
each flutter is a singular motion
which never comes back
Looking through my viewfinder while trying to capture this butterfly reminded me how important it is to live in the moment. It doesn’t matter how simple or insignificant that moment might seem to be. I know that within it lie incredible wonders, but which only my heart can see.
driving without a map is something we're not used to, but during our road trip through the farm roads of Washington state, we decided to live dangerously and zoom around not knowing quite where we were, it was fun and even though we never got to where we wanted we did find lots of places that we had no idea even existed, it was fun :)
I am recording this from a dank prison cell, in the bowels of the ship. I was captured by the Urags, and stripped of my weapons. I remember it vividly; or rather, I don't. Back in the crawlspace, I remember the sounds of the Urags suddenly stop. Then, a sickly-sweet smelling gas began pouring through the vents. I was unconscious in seconds. When I groggily woke up, I was cuffed, and being dragged by some Urag grunt to this cell. He tossed me in one that was deactivated, and began to leave. As he left, the bars of energy that serve as a door hummed to life, locking me in. All I have left is my audio recorder. Unfortunately for the Urags, I always keep some tools stashed away inside...
Note- The border is supposed to be the edges of a security camera lens.
It was a really windy day and I wanted to catch the the way the trees move, but how do you catch the wind? I reduced my shutter speed right down and so realised after I had caught the wave of the air moving, it looks like a bit of an oil painting but I like it.
Hope you all do too.
Thanks everyone :)

The Anniston Museum in Alabama has a pretty impressive display of taxidermied animals. I am hoping that all of them died of natural causes and that no one went out hunting for their collection. Anyway, it is all part of the natural history exhibit they have going on. As I walked through the wonderful display, I found this scene between two foxes, it was so adorable I had to capture it. Then once I got home I thought that it may be perfect for this week's Flickr Friday together.
