The Holy Man from India
I’m sure any one who has been to India and is camera lover can’t resist capturing India’s cultural aspects.
I was in Jaipur, and after visiting a Temple, I meet this Sadhu (also called Sanyasi or Holy man) out side the Temple. He saw me and greeted me with a smile….I asked him if I can take a picture of him, he had no issues…...
Now, something about Sadhu (Or Holy man). From the orange dress, you can tell that this is a Hindu Sadhu. The Turban has writings of mantras dedicated to Lord Shiva – “Oom Namah Shiva’ya”.
The brown garland is garland of Rudrakash . A Rudrakash bead is considered to be the most divine and powerful ornament for the human body. It was created by Lord Shiva and is believed to fulfill desires, expectations and ambitions and also free one from all sins and diseases. Rudraksha has been used by gods, saints, sages from ancient time for spiritual purposes and to gain good health.
According to Hindu Puranas, Rudraksha trees were created from the tears shed by Lord Shiva. Legend has it that Shiva was in deep meditation for thousands of years. And then one day he opened his eyes and all around him he saw human beings suffering out of ignorance. Overwhelmed by compassion, tears from his eyes dropped onto different places on earth and produced Rudraksha trees.
Rudrakshas are the seed from the fruits of the trees belonging to Elaecarpus Ganitrus Roxb variety (Rudraksha tree) in Himalayas and in South East Asia. Every Rudraksha has Mukhis or faces, which differ in number and it runs from one end of the Rudraksha to the other.
According to the Hindu Dharma, there are four stages in life also knows as four Ashramas :
1.Brahmacharya: The first 20 years of life , preceded by the Upanayanam ceremony during which a child is considered to be born again. Brahmacharya is pure contemplation of life's secrets under a Guru.
2.Grihastha : next 40 years (20-60) is the householder's stage. One married, will satisfy karma and artha within a married life and career.
3.Vanaprastha: Next 20 years (60-80) is the detachment from the material world and entering in contemplation and pilgrimage.
4.Sanyasa: conception of the mystic life to prepare the next life or moksha.
This person is on stage 3. Where he has taken detachment from the material world.
Enjoy the moment !!!!

Another outing for my crosshatched Quiz dress. Well, I say an outing... a night in but glammed up.

Hi to all friends, and thank you all for the comments, the facial expressions, like the smiley's ;-) , and for the invitations.
And I am sorry for not having added this note right away, but was too tired - so I left it for today.
The title - Nice - No comment - was the 1st thought after I finished with the image. It was meant as an answer to the gossip in our lives.
But what is gossiping really? For me gossip is talking about people without them knowing it. Sharing their info with others, about things you know and while promised not to tell - you still do. This image represents someone who is gossiping. And for me the only way to stop it is to tell the person who is telling you a gossip - "no comment", with, or without adding to it - "nice to know".
Have a nice week ahead friends and thank you all for your valuable comments
Comments always appreciated, as long as you keep it clean - I love to hear your feedback! xx
September's LFF weekend was a bit different from usual. The evening was tinged with sadness and loss as we had a memorial for Janie Marie Swann, the amazing organiser of LFF who sadly passed away in July.
But it wa also a hugely social night meeting loads of people, friends old and new.
And I did a thing - I made my karaoke debut! It was nerve-wracking but I loved it! After a bit of a shaky start I loved every second!
In Queens Court.

As I've described in my Flickr profile page (www.flickr.com/people/99244229@N04/), I had an opportunity to be back in full make-up and out in public en femme not long ago. This pic is the 119th in my 2019 series of fully made-up en femme activity, and it comes from August 28. This particular pic is a snapshot saved from a fun video taken inside my house, as I was getting ready to go out shopping.
As usual, I really enjoy color-coordinating attractive/sexy/cute outfits, and this one features:
* a Sepia Collection "Broadway" long layered curly frosted golden blonde wig with bangs, from Wig Factory in SF;
* OnlyMaker yellow faux-suede lace-up 6.2"-stiletto-heel 2"-platform ankle-high shooties, from amazon;
* a Trixxi mustard floral-print sleeveless crisscross-straps-v-veck ruffle-popover culotte-legs juniors jumpsuit, from Macy's;
* a mustard draped-lapels open-front cardigan, from Forever 21;
* an INC yellow polyester sheer scarf with printed botanicals/florals & tassels, from Macy's;
* a yellow 3"-wide waist belt, from BeltIsCool.com;
* a Steve Madden amber-mustard-yellow fold-over clutch handbag with gold-chain crossbody strap, from TJ Maxx;
* tan wide-net fishnet tights;
* a gold anklets set, from Forever 21;
* yellow & gold necklaces and bracelets;
* gold rings & earrings; and
* gold/clear "ear cuffs" (long dangling jewelry cuffed to the sides of the ears), from Forever 21.
The full video (2019-08-28 video1) is now posted on my YouTube channel at youtu.be/Bs2ul0ICe_E. Please check it out and comment/fave here and/or there if you like what you see.
More about this and other 2017-19 pics has been written up in my profile or "About" page here on Flickr. It details some choices made for these 2017-19 pics.

Your comments and favs are appreciated more than you know
I made this image a few years ago now. I have since sold the flash units that I modified.
The only visible light in this image is coming from the Cannabis. I used 2 UV modified flash units that emit no light on the visible spectrum. The light is a by product of the UV called Fluorescence.
Ultraviolet Induced Visible Fluorescence or UVIVF for short is genre of Photography that is not a common one but was a lot of fun to explore.
I was approached by someone that knew I was doing this and we both agreed that it would be interesting to see the end result.
I am not against this drug. I have used CBD oil for chronic pain recently. It has its place.
Have a nice day
Your comments and faves are greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
Peaceful Dove
Scientific Name: Geopelia striata
Description: The Peaceful Dove is a small, sturdy dove, with a long graduated tail and wedge-shaped wings. The eye-ring, eye and cere (the soft parts above the bill) are all blue-grey. The upper body is mainly brown-grey, with dark barring. The head and lower throat is a softer grey, with dark scallops. The throat is white and lower body pinkish. The feet are a deep pink. They are usually seen in pairs or small parties, never far from water. The flight is direct, low to the ground and undulating. Their call is very distinctive and is the source of one of their common names, 'Doodle-Doo'. They also may be called the Placid, Zebra or Barred Dove.
Similar species: The Peaceful Dove has a similar shape but is larger than the Diamond Dove, G. cuneata, and is much smaller than the Bar-shouldered Dove,G. humeralis, which has a bronze shoulder patch. They can also be distinguished by their characteristic calls.
Distribution: Peaceful Doves are found in Asia, south Burma and the Malay peninsula, through Indochina to eastern New Guinea and Australia, where it is widespread in the north west, north and eastern mainland. They have been widely introduced to islands.
Habitat: Peaceful Doves are found in open dry woodland with a grassy understorey and the edges of rainforest. In drier areas, they are often in woodland beside rivers, pandanus and vine thickets. They feed on the ground and roost in trees.
Seasonal movements: Peaceful Doves are sedentary, though some seasonal changes in distribution occur in the south and flocks may form briefly in some areas.
Feeding: Peaceful Doves forage on the ground in open, bare areas, in paddocks, beside roads and in gardens. They feed mainly on small seeds of grasses and sedges, and sometimes small insects. They need to drink at least twice a day.
Breeding: Peaceful Doves place their nests in trees or shrubs, including in garden and street trees. They build a small, flimsy platform of twigs, grasses and roots, which is built by both parents. Both parents also feed the young, with 'crop milk' or small seeds.
Calls: A musical 'doodle-doo' repeated often and a loud 'coo-lo-lue'.
Minimum Size: 20cm
Maximum Size: 24cm
Average size: 22cm
Average weight: 54g
Breeding season: August to April
Clutch Size: 2
Incubation: 14 days
Nestling Period: 16 days

I shot this black and white last week on a road trip in eastern Oregon. It was super windy (and the wind seemed to blow in every direction) and cold. Much of SE Oregon had flood issues.

Hello! Lucky here!
I've always kept my comments to the barest minimum
because I know you guys don't come here to read my
blather, and I totally understand that, but I just have to
take a moment to say:
Is...
She not...
The...
Most beautiful woman...
In the whole world?
And, trust me, it isn't just on the outside, either.
On the inside, she is kind and loving and
compassionate and intelligent and genuinely
funny and...
I could go on and on and on, adjectives galore,
and none of them adequate.
Then, throw in seductive and passionate and
giving and willing to please and (ahem) "skilled,"
and... well, she can make you feel like you're a
lucky man. Indeed, very lucky.
(You guys have called me that, "Lucky", so
much that it is now my official nickname, lol!)
But I don't feel just lucky. Honestly, I think I am the
lucki-EST man alive.
I'll shut up now; you won't hear from me again
(probably); I'll just let my admiration and wonder
for this woman show through, hopefully, in the
photographs I take. I hope you enjoy looking at
them as much as we do creating them; it's great
fun. And a turn-on, too.
And thank you all for your comments and Flickrmails,
by the way; believe me when I promise that Donna
reads them all and they are all appreciated
Most Definitely, Most Sincerely,
--Lucky
Pour noyer le Poisson, Môssieur Dionis organise chaque année un carnaval populaire.
Comme Marine R.N. Trump , il fait appel aux services des équipes de hackers de Vladimir Polonium pour s'assurer d'être élu reine du carnaval.
Alors, trônant fièrement sur son char fleuri, il lance de grandes poignées de poudre de perlimpinpin sur la foule en liesse comme d'autres lanceraient des confettis.

My backyard.
12/29/2010
I had some time off between Christmas and New Years, so in between trips to Viera, Circle B and other hot spots, I spent some time in the backyard. We get quite a few visitors at our feeding stations, but the most exciting, by far, is the Ruby-throated Hummingbird.
I'm certain that we have a male who calls the yard home (as obviously documented above). There may also be a female, but I haven't seen both at the same time to be certain. I have seen the male chase off other hummers who have attempted to use the feeder, so I think I'll get another feeder for the front yard. Supposedly you can have two males in your yard if you separate the feeders by something large, like a house.
Anyway, getting this guy captured is not easy. Some professionals spend days setting up a blind, installing a fake colorful background, and substituting the feeder for a live flowering plant when they are ready to shoot. They also will deploy 4-6 remote flashes in order to light up the background and the hummer. There is nothing of that magnitude here. This is purely a budget operation, and I might add, a whole lot of fun when you get an image like this.
To take this image, I simply setup my tripod in the back yard, prefocus the distance to where I expect the hummer to hover, then wait. I sit back in a nice comfortable folding camp chair, usually with a cool beverage, and wait. I don't use a blind, but I give the hummer some time to get accustomed to me being in the backyard.
This hummer is pretty dependable. He'll visit the feeder every 10-15 minutes, and his actions are very predictable. One of his movements is to move backwards from the feeder, hover, then go back in for more nectar. By prefocusing on where I expect him to be, I just have to wait for him to make that movement, then I fire off 3-5 images in succession.
I'll save you the trip to the Exif data if your interested: 1/2000 @ 400mm, ISO 400, flashed. It helps that I usually start my stakeout when the afternoon sun hits the feeder without any shading. You can see some shading from trees in the background, but the hummer is out in the full sun. There are only a couple of hours in the day where the sun angle is just right to capture this guy. Even with the full sunlight and the flash, I still wasn't able to get the wings perfectly still. I could have probably done that if I had bumped the ISO to 800, but the noise on the 50D is really unacceptable at 800. I would lose too many details in post had I cranked it up.
I hope you enjoy this image as much as I have had taking it.
Thank you all for your support and comments.
