Whimsical 19th century with the romantics and the industrial revolution. As a fan of steampunk and Queen Victoria, time travel and epic adventures, I pay tribute to the creator of this time machine.

Miss E & I went to see Disney on Ice yesterday afternoon! What a great show! We both liked the Little Mermaid portion the best, but Peter Pan was really good, too! I hope everyone had a good weekend & that your Monday Blues won't be too severe.

I hope he's not thinking of going off on another tour of the Southern Uplands ...#Vagabond@wanderlust💎😉

This is my latest version to the Dandy-Ball... Which I used dandelion again, with a few bits of plant leaves placed in a small dish and for the background, I used the back of a small red transistor radio, that seemed to create the effect of a lifebuoy, in the way I positioned the angle of the kaleidoscope front lens!

Having fun and got lost in a kaleidoscopic world...

So do keep cool and stay safe, my flickr friends !!!

Essential 'Dandy bejewelled' On Black

Straight from the camera (via the archives, of course)

In a rush. Only a flip. Not even a crop.

Any suggestions?

Another Toots and the Maytals song title for this sweet and dandy beach explosion. The weather has been superb recently, with just enough clouds to create interest. Sweet and dandy.

Fine and Dandy is a kaleidoscopic version of a macro photograph of a Dandelion.

Lake Union July 4th 2009

Taken with NightCap. Long Exposure mode, 1.05 second exposure, 1/80s shutter speed.

For being a dumb weed, dandelions are pretty smart..

I sat in the yard, looking for bees and I watched this one as it closed up shop for the night. Amazing how they protect themselves in the cold weather.

I love it - LARGER

Three off-camera lights. My steady-handed spouse dropped the vegetable glycerin onto the seed heads, after I managed to mess the light table thoroughly.

I used my 100mm macro lens plus 36mm and 12mm extension tubes so I could get really close to the dandelion. The beauty of nature never disappoints when you slow down to examine the details. I know that dandelion images are overdone but I just can't help shoot them when I find them. What is a photo subject that you can't resist shooting?

After a photo of the female Mandarin duck, here is the male. It's hard to believe that their colours get even more intense during mating season. For the moment they don't have to impress anybody and live rather peacefully in a larger group of Mandarins.

Looking through the seed pod I can see another universe in there.

Another hard frost so I took the camera for an early morning bike ride before the frost melted. I wa rewarded with melting frost producing mist which was quite magical. Sweet and Dandy is by Toots and the Maytals. Overnight we surprisingly have been gifted a. couple of inches of snow, so it's perfect for a mountain bike ride.Sweet and Dandy.
