Work commitments have been such that I've not had the time to up load this from yesterday morning. Had dashed out the house, saw this turned on my heels got the camera, 4 quick shots jumped in the car off to work. Finally tonight catching my breath ...
So I set up the camera outside the stables, the parents are zooming in and out feeding the new fledglings (of which seem to be down to 4 now) it’s real hard, they are so quick, so out of about 500 phots,,,,, this one
There is a moment when all becomes still and life is just solely about the two people in that moment

If you see a married couple still in love through the
years, you may think how lucky they are.
But in marital relations, there is no such thing as
luck.
They made many compromises, they overlooked each others faults.
They forgave many mistakes, and endured many problems.
They spent years learning to understand one another.
Love has never been a matter of luck, its a mutual giving
compromise, shared dreams, care, respect, mercy and patience.
*Thank you Adrian for sticking with this bag of bones for decades....I love the new home, I love the beautiful gardens you masterfully set down, and I love you.

Bindi’s only female kitten. I rescued the litter (including Batman) in March 2014. I Photographed Cleo at 6 weeks old and used this photo to promote “forever” commitments. Bindi and Batman are still with me but the other 3 kittens were adopted by wonderful people and are all thriving. All of my rescues “work” and Batman has just raised $1,660 for the Houston Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and he will be a Calendar Boy in their 2016 calendar.
Do you pinky swear to take this secret
Never tell a single soul for
As long as we both shall live?
You will be married to these words
Letters can come together to form a body.
They will entwine
Impossible to get out of.
And, you don't even know what the secret actually is.
It's a really big commitment.

There are only two options regarding commitment.
You're either in or out.
There's no such thing as a life in-between.

With no confliction I summon the dark ones 👿
I DEMAND you with vengeance - Come to me you fucking demons and beasts…. I am not afraid, you cannot hurt me, you cannot break what is already broken! I am ready, eagerly here waiting for your arrival, bowing gracefully in your presence welcoming and greeting you with open arms honoring my commitment, offering myself freely without resistance so do as you must - UNRESTRAINED
Torment my disdain soul, taunt my spirit and demented mind as I am a sinner for I could not protect nor save him.... Thirstily torture me with lustful sadistic desires – Suspend me with chains and hooks through my skull, ears, eyes, nose, cheeks and dermis...
Lacerate, stab, beat, choke, bite, scratch, pick, gouge, lash, feed off and burn blistering my organic flesh leaving only bone as the flaming lipids drip quenching Gaîa as I deserve it then dribble toxic corrosive cocktails from your mouth into my open wounds off your tongue…. Watch me in delight as I wallow in my hallucinations, delusions, distortions, noise, insanity and numbness contemplating while drowning in my failures…. I can take it, I will OWN it, you will not see me quiver nor flinch.... I will unconditionally beseech for more each and every time you swipe inflicting on me OVER and OVER and OVER again
Swipe taking your best shots with full force and no holding back as I will come searching for, hunting you in the dark whispers of a celestial night standing in the shadows at the very gates of hell where I announce my presence with wailing GRROWWLLLZ while making my way through the labyrinth crawling on my bleeding cursed hands and knees dragging my persecuted feet in shame to the depths of your lair where time stands still for eternity unleashing my wrath.... Pinning you down into the deep gritty earth of consumed souls with my foot as I tare your fucking tail off with my bare hands shoving it down your throat feeding it to you whole, allowing you to breathe solely through your nostrils while taking in overwhelming contentment watching you wide eyed with dilated pupils as you gag, splatter and choke…. Slowly peeling the scales off your body one by one with my fingernails watching in amusement as they weep.... Using your horns as reins while chewing through your thoracic anatomy with clotted blood dribbling down my face, neck and all over my torso as my GRROWWLLLZ echo off the chamber walls and throughout the labyrinth while looking deep into your soul through the window of your besieged eyes begging me for redemption as I drink in sacrifice warm foaming blood with every last heartbeat from your squirting aorta punishing you for all my failures and sins if you fail your calling and duty
Revive me each time when I fade to die as there is no glory in death without a journey full of suffering and pain, I seek retribution and wish to have consciousness while relishing in your inflictions 🔪🔪🔪 upon me
GRROWWLLLZ

Sometimes I get lucky. This pair did not notice me standing with my tripod. They swam up close, completely undisturbed. Their gift presentation was also a gift to me; Clark's Grebes; Aechmophorus clarkii; Santa Margarita Lake; CA; USA
Last day of leave. . . of course it dawns grey and drizzly - so to drown my sorrows a slow paddle with friends was in order!
The Berowra creek seems as untouched as it was 'way back when'. . dense undergrowth lines the banks and the noise of the Cicadas came in waves often so deafening my ears hurt!!

Most of my railfanning is done around my other commitments - on this day everything aligned to finally catch the Allegheny Valley Railroad running through Schenley Tunnel in Pittsburgh. This is one of those "everyone else has shot this" spots, but for an out of towner like me, I was thrilled to finally check it off my list. Powering the train were three ex-Conrail SD60M's, something else I was looking to photograph on my brief visit.
Between dull weather and work/family commitments, I can't get out as much as I'd like these days.....so it's time to go backwards through some old shots I think? :)
"Remember the fallen. Honor those who serve. Teach the next generation the value of freedom."
These are the words from Wreaths Across America's (WAA) website noted as "Our Mission". And, it is clearly observed in their commitment to the soldiers buried across the country in the many "national cemetery's" with the wreaths placed against the headstones. However, this is just one of the many ways that WAA remembers, honors, and teaches the next generation about our fallen. Please check out their website for more information about the many ways they accomplish this goal...
Additionally, the location of the photograph above is the Nashville National Cemetery in Madison, Tennessee (just north of Downtown Nashville) which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). More information about this "national cemetery" can be found here:

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

Another of the few shots I stole at the studio, during the short visit I paid to Gigi this year. Due to various commitments that had been keeping my mind busy during my stay in Europe, not lastly also an elbow inflammation that was giving me problems in handling my cameras, I did not have plan to shot this time. However, resisting the call of the photographic wild for a concert and event photographer, which is used to exploit any situation, was impossible to ignore. Particularly with such a beautiful muse.

GRIEF CAN TAKE CARE OF ITSELF, BUT TO GET THE FULL VALUE OF A JOY YOU
MUST HAVE SOMEBODY TO DIVID IT WITH.

Almagro, Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha, España.
Almagro es una ciudad y municipio español de la provincia de Ciudad Real, en la comunidad autónoma de Castilla-La Mancha. En 1972 su casco histórico fue declarado conjunto histórico-artístico. Cuenta con una población de 8983 habitantes (INE 2017).
Está catalogado como Uno de Los Pueblos Más Bonitos de España desde el año 2015 y pertenece desde entonces a la asociación homónima.
Su entorno natural se halla encajado entre pequeñas sierras paleozoicas con algunos recursos de agua de escaso flujo: arroyos Pellejero y de Cuetos. Es del mayor interés la presencia de una zona volcánica (cerro de la Yezosa), sobre los macizos de cuarcitas existentes, lo que singulariza la zona, junto a la de Olot y a la de cabo de Gata, como los únicos territorios de origen volcánico de alguna importancia dentro de la península ibérica.
La localidad es conocida en toda la península por su compromiso con las artes escénicas desde que se redescubriera y recuperara en 1954 el que es hoy en día el corral de comedias mejor conservado de toda España (Monumento Nacional desde 1955).
Aprovechando su inmejorable situación, desde 1978 se celebra en la ciudad cada verano, durante el mes de julio, el Festival Internacional de Teatro Clásico dedicado al Barroco y en especial al Siglo de Oro.
Otros festivales que se dan cita en la ciudad son el Festival Iberoamericano de Teatro Contemporáneo de Almagro (FITCA), que en 2015 alcanzó su XV edición y más recientemente el Festival de Creación Universitaria de Almagro (CUAL), que inició sus pasos en 2014.
Almagro is a Spanish town and municipality in the province of Ciudad Real, in the autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha. In 1972 its historic centre was declared a historic-artistic site. It has a population of 8,983 inhabitants (INE 2017).
It has been listed as One of the Most Beautiful Towns in Spain since 2015 and has since belonged to the eponymous association.
Its natural environment is nestled between small Paleozoic mountain ranges with some low-flow water resources: Pellejero and Cuetos streams. Of greatest interest is the presence of a volcanic area (cerro de la Yezosa), on the existing quartzite massifs, which makes the area unique, along with Olot and Cabo de Gata, as the only territories of volcanic origin of any importance within the Iberian Peninsula.
The town is known throughout the peninsula for its commitment to the performing arts since the rediscovery and recovery in 1954 of what is today the best-preserved corral de comedias in all of Spain (a National Monument since 1955).
Taking advantage of its unbeatable location, since 1978 the International Classical Theatre Festival dedicated to the Baroque and especially the Golden Age has been held in the city every summer during the month of July.
Other festivals that take place in the city are the Almagro Ibero-American Contemporary Theatre Festival (FITCA), which reached its 15th edition in 2015 and more recently the Almagro University Creation Festival (CUAL), which began its steps in 2014.
The humanly side of photography contains at least three elements:
subjectivity
creativity
human initiative
If you going to purchase a camera and lenses you should try to be a photographer; however, for some (photographers?) laziness replaces human initiative.

Dedicated Laysan albatross mates alternate parental duties taking turns sitting on the nest and foraging for food. Tending the nest can mean a commitment of up to two weeks or more before swapping duties and heading out to sea to feed. This Laysan albatross (Phoebastria immutabilis) nest site was in the shade of a naio shrub on the sand dunes of Ka’ena Point.
