Not sure why the photo's background it yellow here, it was a fine white on my camera.
a difference and hour makes. Complete darkness and wind make it very very difficult to get shot tonight

Oh yes George... you've made quite the difference.
Can you see all the happy faces around you... can you imagine all the happy faces you are responsible for in the happy homes across America?
Trials and tribulations... terrorists and threats... they're much easier to handle when you're the guy surrounded by wealth and security. Everyone else has to put up with more regulations, more fear mongering ... and much less freedom.
So just keep on sending America's finest... it's hopes for the future... off to battle more of your holier than thou crusades... and just like in all the many wars before you... and the many to surely follow... this holy war needs more cannon fodder.
What's so different about that?
Yesterday the KIrkcaldy Photographic Society www.kirkcaldyphotographicsociety.co.uk had another great day out to Morton Lochs, Tentsmuir Forest and Kinshaldy Beach. It was sunny and dry and despite the waves in the accompanying dog-walker shot, it was very pleasant. Today after a night of high winds and horizontal rain, fierce waves were lashing over the sea-wall (see other photo). What a difference a day makes indeed.
Not sure when it happened, but many of the Telegraph poles once standing in the frame are now on the ground, stripped of their insulators. Along with this the KENT signs on the grain elevator have disappeared, making the shot a little more bland. Sad to see this spot, along with the rest of the town of McClelland Iowa go downhill.
The difference between night and day.
Air quality at 200 is rated as hazardous. It peaked mid afternoon at over 3000.

The Ferrari GTO (often referred to as Ferrari 288 GTO)(Type F114) is an exotic homologation of the Ferrari 308 GTB produced from 1984 to 1987 in Ferrari's Maranello factory, designated GT for Gran Turismo and O for Omologata (homologated in Italian).
Some of the GTO's styling features were first displayed on a 308 GTB design exercise by Pininfarina shown at the 1977 Geneva Auto Salon. The 288 GTO had started out as a modified version of the 308/328 to hold down costs and to build the car quickly, but little of the 308/328 was left when the 288 GTO was finished.
Easily noticeable differences were the GTOs bulging fender flares, larger front/rear spoilers, large "flag-style" outside mirrors and four driving lights at the far sides of the grille. Retained from the original 250 GTO were slanted air vents, put in the GTO's rear fenders to cool the brakes, as well as the rear wing's design, borrowed from the 250 GTO's original wing. The GTO also had wider body panels than the 308's because they had to cover much larger Goodyear tires mounted on racing wheels.
The GTO was based on the rear mid-engine, rear wheel drive 308 GTB, which has a 2.9 L (2,927 cc) V8. The "288" refers to the GTO's 2.8 litre DOHC 4 valves per cylinder V8 engine as it used a de-bored by 1 mm (0.04 in) with IHI twin-turbochargers, Behr air-to-air intercoolers, Weber-Marelli fuel injection and a compression ratio of 7.6:1. The 2.85 litre engine capacity was dictated by the FIA's requirement for a turbocharged engine's capacity to be multiplied by 1.4. This gave the GTO an equivalent engine capacity of 3,997 cc (4.0 L; 243.9 cu in), just under the Group B limit of 4.0 litres.
Unlike the 308's 2,927 cc (2.9 L; 178.6 cu in) engine, the GTO's 2,855 cc (2.9 L; 174.2 cu in) V8 was mounted longitudinally, using the 308's rear trunk space. This was necessary to make room for the twin turbochargers and intercoolers. The racing transmission was mounted to the rear of the longitudinal engine, moving the rear differential and wheels aft. The arrangement also let the GTO use a more conventional race-car engine/transmission layout for such things as quick gear-ratio changes for various tracks. As a result, the wheelbase was 110 mm (4.3 in) longer at 2,450 mm (96.5 in).
'The Smiths' formed six years after the start of the British punk rock scene, and perhaps projected into their way-of-being three elements from this cultural dynamic: a sense of make-do or DIY, a sense of commentating from outside of society (unemployment culture included), and a sense of opinion generated from polemical example.
Punk rock is today perhaps famous for its blanket nihilisms: “Anarchy in the UK”, “White riot”, “No future” - all with varied forms of the Vivian Westwood dress-sense. Aside this ultra-vivid self-created stigma, the late 70s musical/cultural movement of UK Punk had created lyrical and musical vignettes that stayed on record players and transferred to C60 chrome mix-tapes: “Easy germ free adolescence” ('X-Ray Spex' 78) plotted a closed 'existential' in the life of an individual; 'Lost in a supermarket' ('The Clash' 79) was another vignette, but this time describing a poetic angle into a modern life that many could relate to, and, as a third example - “Love comes in spurts” ('The Voidoids' 76) - featuring a lyric that uses 'childish' shock word-play and active double-meanings to register and parody existing lyrical convention, whilst describing certain truisms. It can be said that depictions of highly specific sentiments; unusual but collective views on the modern world and the shock use of words and their dynamic meanings became the terrain of the 'post punk', 'DIY' Manchester band - 'The Smiths'.
With the lyrical whit of their singer Morrissey, 'The Smiths' kept a punkist sense of polemical charge (“The Queen is Dead”; “Hang the DJ” and “Meat is Murder”) whilst systematically developing individual and social themes. If musical skills were often missing (or denied) during UK Punk, then the Post Punk years saw an overt return of musical virtuosity (hand in hand with groups higher on idea and form than musical technicity). One nest of guitar skills hovered around the New York City band 'The Voidoids' with Tom Verlain, Robert Quine and Richard Lloyd all important Post Punk guitar stylists (even if US 'Post Punk' arrived before UK Punk - for example 'Pere Ubu' 1975). Around 1980 in Manchester England, a man who could match 'Nick Drake' for reserve produced a low-key, but much listened to record titled “The return of the Durutti Column” (a Spanish civil war reference in the name and title) www.youtube.com/watch?v=pddox1SYHko. 'The Durutti Column's Vini Reilly's meticulous detailing of guitar melody was perhaps matched across the city of Manchester by the extraordinary guitar style of Johnny Marr – the principle co-songwriter to 'The Smiths', whose style became clearly visible as early as 'The Smith's' second single. Marr's sense of shimmering detailing is also clearly apparent in the example of this moving lens test.
Fireworks are of so many colours and effects, and the post punk DIY musical alternatives were varied. Despite their differences, there are a few bands that help to put 'The Smiths' into an early context. 'Vic Godard's Subway Sect' had perhaps started out as a British version of 'The Voidoids' ('Double negative' 1978 www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fsYYG_Qf0Q) and had evolved by 1981 into melodic anti pop www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cgzwQBtFaA an approach perhaps akin to the relationship between 'New Wave cinema' and traditional cinema. Again from 1981, the group 'Orange Juice' were inhabiting melody and lyric without the desire to provide 'expected' popularist results: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmpNSpzx2wI. 'The Smiths' projected aside many groups, Dandyisms, deconstructions and observations and, with some of the lyrical landscapes of Morrissey, were one of the groups that held on longest to the polemical side of punk rock. With the guitar of Johnny Marr, they were also one of the groups that pushed furthest from initial DIY ethics into artistic, holistic and highly developed forms. By the release of 'The Queen is Dead' in 1986 they had refined their idiosyncrasies to such an extent that they had produced a record that could be compared against the very “classic” albums they were initially reflecting against.
Prolific songwriters, 'The Smiths' took subject to swathes of British youth, and were another input of inspiration for a new generation of musicians. Postcard, Pop Aural and Rough Trade layered under Creation, Domino and Sarah, and new bands evolved without a close proximity to Punk rock. Contemporary journalists (including ones associated with Manchester's Guardian), muse, relay and decree that it is now time to stop listening to the work of Morressey. The Smiths split in 1987, and in the decades since, Morrissey has remained loyal to his polemical approach to social subjects. I certainly never wanted to hang a DJ, but played the song. One of the tracks that we should apparently be boycotting is a recently released duet with Thelma Houston: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cB93OUF_sA
The track “Some girls are bigger than others' comes from the 1986 record and is a construction with the most minimal idea of verse, and thus arrives almost straight into the chorus, with a slightly detached and minimal refrain. The lyric takes a line that can be associated with both male machismo and the observational naivety of a small child: playing the idea straight as the thought of a young male adult faced by the enormity of mankind's diversity. By referring to the ice age, the lyric also points out that these differences come from the depths of the human race and are not a modern celebrity surface.
"From the ice-age to the dole-age, there is but one concern. I have just discovered; some girls are bigger than others... "
For the images in the lens test I replaced the 'girls' of the song with the animate 'bodies' of 'mother earth', as reflected by her waterfalls. The shots involve a variety of lenses and locations either side of the Pyrénées.

Our Lady of Al-Natour monastery
Is standing on the Cape of Al-Natour, was built by the Crusaders on Byzantine ruins. The monastery is surrounded by large fields of the myrtle (Myrtus Ugni), a nearly extinct plant on the Lebanese coast.
In the last few years, the monastery church and rooms have been renovated, and icons of saints are painted on the church walls.
I found on the internet that this is monastery is 900 years old.

President George Washington thought political parties were self-serving tyrants that exacerbated tribal and regional differences for their own benefit at the expense of the country, e.g. North or South, city or rural. In his farewell address, America's first outgoing President asked Americans to step outside the hypnotic spell, which he called the "awe", of political parties and party leaders in order to serve the greater good of the country and its citizen government. "Unawed" would mean carefully deliberated, uninfluenced by party hyperbole and seduction. Washington declared to his fellow countrymen:
"This government, the offspring of our own choice, uninfluenced and unawed, adopted upon full investigation and mature deliberation, completely free in its principles, in the distribution of its powers, uniting security with energy, and containing within itself a provision for its own amendment, has a just claim to your confidence and your support. Respect for its authority, compliance with its laws, acquiescence in its measures, are duties enjoined by the fundamental maxims of true liberty. The basis of our political systems is the right of the people to make and to alter their constitutions of government. But the Constitution which at any time exists, till changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole people, is sacredly obligatory upon all. The very idea of the power and the right of the people to establish government presupposes the duty of every individual to obey the established government.
All obstructions to the execution of the laws, all combinations and associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive of this fundamental principle, and of fatal tendency. They serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force; to put, in the place of the delegated will of the nation the will of a party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill-concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common counsels and modified by mutual interests.
However combinations or associations of the above description may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."
–Declared President George Washington in his Farewell Address to the nation in 1796.

These two very different East Lancs bodied buses are seen here on display at a rally in Keighley, in 19/06/2005. On the right of the photo and obviously the elder of the two is preserved Plymouth City Transport, 168, TTT168X, a Leyland Atlantean AN68C/1R. This was delivered in the final batch of ten, 162-71, TTT162X etc., in 12/1981. The following three numerically numbered buses delivered to the south-west municipal were 172-4, TTT172-4X, being East Lancs bodied Leyland Olympian ONLXB/1R's. They were delivered in 03/1982. Alongside the Atlantean, and a very much different beast is Yorkshire Traction, 802, YN54VKB, a Scania N94 UD. This coach seated East Lancs OmniDekka bodied Scania was delivered in a batch of six, 801-6, YN54VKA-F. It later became Stagecoach Yorkshire Traction 15416 and then later passed to Harrogate Coach Travel - Connexions Buses, Tockwith, where it was re-registered UUG384 and still remains in service today.

what a difference a day makes - well actually it was less than 4 hours. Same flower in the process from the opening of a bud to bloom.
I decided to experiment and try shortening a MTM Barbie much the same way you can shorten and male Monster High doll.
Luckily for me, it was actually easier than I expected because after removing the feet and cutting off some of the calf-length my Dremel, I found the calves to be solid. Thus I did not have to use any hot glue, I only had to drill new holes for the foot pegs!
Overall I am very happy with how this turned out! I really wanted this head on a shorter body since she looked so cute on the petite body originally!
The next round from current project built around this year's cherry blossom season. I've decided to tackle the project in a different way, With these images, I'll publish 3 different versions. The first will be a "stock" image that will be uncropped and will only have my basic RAW processing. The second will have my color edit - sometimes, the changes will be subtle, on others it might be a dramatic difference. The third iteration will show my B&W edit. I'm not going to share my (sometimes involved) workflow on these images - but all were shot with my Olympus OM-D e-M1.2 with the m.Zuiko 25mm f1.2 Pro lens (usually wide open, but not exclusively).

Since flickr updated/was down for a bit ... and because I upload at least one per day ... here are several photos to look at ... :)
Thanks to Kim for putting this diptych together.
The bird with pink on the right is a Turkey Vulture (Cathartes aura). It is a common, almost abundant species along the Texas Gulf Coast plains. The bird on the left is a Black Vulture (Coragyps atratus) - not the same species as Black Vulture in the Old World. As you can see the head and neck are featherless with the skin being grey and wrinkled. Like Turkey Vulture, the Black Vulture is also reasonably frequent along the Gulf Coast.
The two species were actually photographed with a few yards of each other. Both are scavengers, cleaning up nature's carcasses.
