The blooms on the Hydrangeas begin to show a little character as the summer bakes on. Thanks for the look and have a great Sunday.
The only downside of my favourite spot in the area of the Bastei bridge in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains is, that most time of the year the sun is rising right behind me. Here there is a group of trees lined up on a rock. They are the guardians of the valley "Wehltal". They are standing on a cliff what is separating this valley from its neighbor and they are the highest point in the surroundings. So when I'm here photographing, I'm always under oberservation.
Der einzige Nachteil meines Lieblingsspots im Gebiet der Basteibrücke im Elbsandsteingebirge ist, dass die Sonne die meiste Zeit des Jahres hinter mir aufgeht. Dort steht eine Gruppe von Bäumen aufgereiht auf einem Felsen. Sie sind die Wächter des Wehltales. Sie stehen auf einer Felsklippe, die das Tal von seinem Nachbarn trennt und sind der höchste Punkt in der Umgebung. Wenn ich hier fotografiere, stehe ich also immer unter Beobachtung.

Castle Towers Shopping Centre.
Castle Hill, north-western Sydney.
It is my second home. I seem to be always shopping for more food here (even after I do the regular weekly shopping!!!), or new bikinis, or a new charger for the Apple iPads after the previous one mysteriously broke, or "emergency" sushi.
So I may as well live at Castle Towers.

The Five-lined Skink (Plestiodon fasciatus) enjoys a wide range, living throughout most of the eastern U.S. and even into southern bits of Canada. It is, though, far more rare up north (I've never seen one in New York, for instance) than it is in the South (I've never NOT seen one during a visit to the Carolinas). These handsome lizards live up to six years and grow eight inches long. Juveniles have iridescent blue tails, which make them easy to spot ... but they are not easy to catch. They are speedy little creatures, and they need to be! After all, there are plenty of would-be predators out there ... and bugs that are just begging for an eating.

Looked back at a photo folder from June, when we'd stopped by the butterfly pavilion at the botanic garden.
When awake and landing, these julias mostly keep their wings spread. But when sleeping and caught early in the mornings, their wings are folded closed.
I found this image whilst looking for another and decided to re-process the raw file.
I have the original on my wall at home and I was very proud to have got 6th in the International Lightpainting Award a few years back with it.
Having the image on my wall has highlighted a few things I'd have done differently. In this case it was a boost in the shadows and blacks to bring out the detail of the sky.
I'm much happier with this version as it's still recognizable as the original just polished a little.

The downside to car sharing...... apart from listening to awful music.....after leaving my tripod in the car the other week (I did realise before we went too far!) I managed to surpass myself this week by leaving my walking boots, hat and gloves in the boot.....the upside being I now own a pair of wellies!
One of the downsides of working at home is often when I decide to take a quick break and go upstairs to visit my sister, and/or our kitty Frodo, I'll find they are also taking their own kind of break - called napping.
One of the plusses of working at home is you can sometimes find Kodak moments at the most unexpected times.
*** Frodo taking a break from his hectic morning, napping in his Meowma's chair while she was napping in her bed. Thought this would be a nice Happy Caturday post, too.

Here's an article about monarch butterflies.
I hope to find a chrysalis one of these days to shoot and share with you at a future date.
I hope to catch up with you all later. Thanks for dropping by.
See my shots on flickriver:
The downside of a visit to a car park is always just how grotty they are. There's a thick layer of dirt and grime everywhere, harsh lighting and the smell... they're just pretty grim places.
Standing in the harsh glare of the stairway lights, I got this nice contained view of a cluster of buildings. I love the mixture of buildings here- more modern towers, slightly older extensions to brick buildings and then older, graffitied squat structures below.
By 1935 Art Deco designs already in it's 25th year were starting to be on the downside of the curve, although it still was a major design influence in the United States. Although still quite popular the looming war in Europe was about to bring that trend to an end by 1939.
The style became popular in Paris, around 1910, and over the following 10 years it had crossed the shores to America where it became a popular design style in architecture, furnishings, visual arts, and many other things, including automobiles. And to this day, the style still appeals to many, and to me included. However, Art Deco, albeit popular in it's day, surely was not the case for Chrysler Corporation with it's new, sleek, streamlined Airflow models, which were heavily influenced with Art Deco design elements, but that quickly became the Edsel of that period! In spite of it's new and modern wind tunnel designed body with headlights molded into the body, and probably a first for that period when most others were still standalones mounted above the fenders, it just never grabbed the attention of the buying public. Yes, at first there was a lot of enthusiastic bluster and hoopla, but it died as quickly as it started. Arguably, some would say "ahead of it's time," but Art Deco designs were quite solidly entrenched and accepted at the time. Or, was it the shape of the car with it's headlights now integrated into the body that the buying public was just not ready for? We can all agree that the buying public is a fickle lot, and it doesn't take long for them to spread the news on a product, whether good, or bad. I suppose it looks like "An Olds sucking a lemon" became the catchphrase and possible death knell for Edsel?
When most of the US auto manufacturers were still pumping out six figure, or near six figure production numbers with their cars Chrysler's Airflow designs was quite the antithesis of those figures. In 1935, the Chrysler Airflow sold a paltry and abysmal number at under 7800 units, and the above survivor was one of them. And, when it comes to the appeal, or lack of on this car, I don't believe it's changed much since "it's day!" People still either love them, or hate them, regardless of the reason! But, I suppose you could say kudo's to Chrysler for trying to jump ahead of the pack. But, kudo's do not help to pay the bills.

The downside of traveling to Thailand during the rainy season is that it can rain heavily from time to time. You just have to accept that. Also, the fact that you won't always be able to find shelter under a roof.
But then you get a photo that doesn't look like the average tourist photo. This shot from the temple "Wat Phra That Pha Sorn Keaw" definitely falls into that category for me.
Not to mention the other advantages, such as cooler temperatures, lower prices, and significantly fewer tourists.
Der Nachteil von einer Thailand Reise während der Regenzeit ist, dass es hin und wieder heftig regnen kann. Damit muss man sich dann eben abfinden. Auch mit der Tatsache, dass man es nicht immer trocken unter ein Dach schafft.
Doch dafür bekommt man dann auch mal ein Foto, welches nicht so aussieht, wie das durchschnittliche Touristenfoto. Diese Aufnahme aus dem Tempel "Wat Phra That Pha Sorn Keaw" gehört für mich zweifelsfrei in diese Kathegorie.
Von den anderen Vorteilen wie niedrigere Temperaturen, geringere Preise und deutlich weniger Touristen, ganz zu schweigen.
The downside of planning a trip is that motivates you to decide in advance what you are looking for and probably you'll miss a lot of unpredictable things that are silently searching for you . There is a different approach: take your passport, a little bit of cash and get on the first conveyance
Il lato negativo della pianificazione di un viaggio è che vi spinge a decidere in anticipo ciò che state cercando e, con tutta probabilità, vi perderete molte delle cose imprevedibili che sono alla silenziosa ricerca di voi. C'è un altro modo di procedere: prendere il passaporto, un po' di contante e salire sul primo mezzo che passa.
