This Tricolored Heron bathed with such enthusiasm that water was sprayed everywhere, and ripples appeared across the otherwise still wetlands.

ODC-To Cleanse
Any Pure Of Heat Aquarians out there?
I studied the fascinating topic of Astrology for many years. So it was appropriate that I chose Aquarius The Water Bearer for today's theme. "The Aquarian seeks only to cleanse, illuminate and purify."
Another view of a cleansed Chun Yeung Street Market.
Had to use fast shutter speeds to avoid the sparse pedestrians.

Perry's Double Yellow Waterlily in the rain at Chicago Botanic Garden
I was surprised to see waterlilies when I visited CBG 10 days ago. These were the hardy waterlilies that can survive the cold climate.
Where there is rain there is also cleansing. Remember this when you’re trying to protect your soul amidst the storm. - Alfa
This shoot was taken a while ago but uploaded as private. Since I still love it, I decided to repost it as public^^

Sometimes you just need to get up and get out. Sometimes our minds tell us to not too. Sometimes we don't listen and we go out anyway. This might only happen sometimes, but when it does happen, we always feel cleansed and refreshed...
Went shooting today with a couple Atlanta flickrites: jbwhelchel and brookenovak. Had a great time. Brooke was our "guide" taking us to a couple kick-ass "locations". Check their stuff out and let 'em know you stopped by. The good shooters, but more importantly, they're good people...
During my Sunday excursions, I'll often pause extra long to admire an abandoned country house with a memorable veranda, a homey construction detail you seldom see on modern houses. Those family members walked out to a clean, sweeping prairie view, seldom bothered by anything other than natural sounds and big skies. You wouldn't need to contend with admiring the neighbourhood you might not fancy. Traffic and lawnmowers wouldn't wake you early. No door to door salesman, nor garbage trucks. Truth is you didn't even lock the doors. Your mind was less cluttered, hardly shackled to social media with on demand prompts.
These thoughts helped recall a recent Robert Genn paragraph, as I opened a thermos of tea/biscuits and contemplated how to visually represent my discovery. Then my Blackberry beeped, I laughed….as I formatted my memory card. I felt a rich prairie cleansing, my efficiency was full steam ahead, minus the city sludge.
"Recent studies of teenagers' use of cellphones and other electronic devices have revealed some interesting results. Apparently, if you deprive kids of social networking for a week or so, a high percentage become significantly depressed. They also lose efficiency, will, enthusiasm and sleep. Their marks go down and their lassitude goes up.
For many artists, something similar happens when "the work quotient" is taken from their lives. A couple of unproductive days can send some creative folks into the dumps. They may not even be aware of what's happening to them. "Fear of restart" and permanent creative catatonia can set in after long-term abstinence."

Ive seen a lot of artist attempt this type of photo but I was mostly inspired by Laura Lous and Brooke Shadens versions.

Kurds and friends are protesting Turkish State illegal invasion of Rojava
From London to Tokyo, Paris to Washington DC, tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets against Turkey's military invasion of Rojava.

Is there anything quite as blissful as an amble by the seashore at sunrise?
When I cast my eyes out to sea, I notice that the horizon is hemmed in a marmalade orange with rivers of pulsing light saturating the water with gold, a watery wonderland.
The witchcraft spell of the morning light and the siren call of the sea is soothing to my soul.
ODC - FEBRUARY "TO CLEANSE"...
February comes from the Latin word februs, which means "to cleanse." The month was named after the Roman Februalia, which was a month long festival of purification and atonement.
By spending my time by the sea is a cleansing for me.
Light breaks through Father Winter's cruel gray cape and brings the fresh air we all long for.

Fire by its nature is destructive. It consumes and alters the state of matter. When fire burns through the forest, it leaves in its wake a sea of soot and ash. It's easy to see how observing the woods in this condition could be alarming to some. But for those who understand the role of fire in certain forested communities, it is a most welcome site. We know that it won't be long until life returns, with forms and grasses resprouting from intact roots, nourished by the minerals left in the fires wake, and benefitting from increased sunlight and reduced competition from the removal of woody plants in the understory.
Periodic low intensity fires are crucial for the maintenance of certain communities. These types of fires would have historically been started by lightning strikes in the hotter, drier months. Today, however, naturally occurring fires in the eastern U.S. are relatively rare. As a result, land stewards employ prescribed fire as a management tool. Unfortunately, these are often performed in the cooler, wetter months, which results in issues such as less efficient control of encroachment by woody species, and favoring a different herbaceous community.
Frequent low intensity fires also helps to reduce woody fuel load. Many of the mega fires observed in the western U.S. have resulted from unnaturally high fuel load brought on by fire suppression.
Fire ecology is a fascinating, important subject. Pictured here is a controlled burn in a longleaf pine savanna in the Angelina National Forest. Fire and longleaf are inextricably linked, and I have discussed this relationship in previous posts for anyone interested.
I got a Warhammer 40K Space Marine vibe from the Series 7 "Galaxy Patrol" collectable minifig, so naturally I had to make a small vignette of him slaughtering some xenos.
Mike Ryan and I went out for a shoot near Goat Rock Beach, Sonoma Coast State Park last Friday. Some cliff climbing is required to get to this spot. While Mike and I were climbing out in the dark I realized that I had lost my wedding ring. We scoured the vicinity with flash lights well into the dark with no luck. The following Saturday morning my daughters boyfriend Kyle and I went back to see if we could find it. We went up and down the cliffs maybe 5 times and decided it just wasn't going to be found. As we were climbing out I stopped at a spot and panned around without moving for about 5 minutes. As I was getting ready to pull myself up, I looked down to where I was going to place my foot and BAMMMM! There it was, sticking half way out of the dirt. Needless to say I was extremely lucky and happy to have found it!
