A vase of flowers reflected onto my kitchen window. Camera flash was fired which picked out the climbing vine of a plant in the garden beyond. I kind of liked the double exposure effect which was created.

From Wikipedia:
"In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state. The name of the effect, coined by Edward Lorenz, is derived from the metaphorical example of the details of a hurricane (exact time of formation, exact path taken) being influenced by minor perturbations such as the flapping of the wings of a distant butterfly several weeks earlier. Lorenz discovered the effect when he observed that runs of his weather model with initial condition data that was rounded in a seemingly inconsequential manner would fail to reproduce the results of runs with the unrounded initial condition data. A very small change in initial conditions had created a significantly different outcome.
The phrase refers to the idea that a butterfly's wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that may ultimately alter the path of a tornado or delay, accelerate or even prevent the occurrence of a tornado in another location. Note that the butterfly does not power or directly create the tornado. The Butterfly effect does not convey the notion - as is often misconstrued - that the flap of the butterfly's wings causes the tornado. The flap of the wings is a part of the initial conditions; one set of conditions leads to a tornado while the other set of conditions doesn't. The flapping wing represents a small change in the initial condition of the system, which causes a chain of events leading to large-scale alterations of events."
I don't necessarily believe in it--but I do think it's a fascinating theory--one of those things the mind could dwell on for quite a while and then, ponder longer. As I put my trust in a Divine Hand, I believe that should He desire to make any changes, He can direct any disturbances, or not, depending on His choosing. And after all, He once appointed a worm, so a butterfly is certainly reasonable!
My original image was of a blurry red mum on a mustard colored background.
If you look closely (view large), I think you'll be able to imagine quite a few butterflies in there...although there were none originally...perhaps an intrinsic "butterfly effect" all its own.
On our Starbucks coffee run this morning. The cloud-enhanced sunrise was beautiful.
Tucson's potholes are very noticeable. The car and camera jerked as I snapped this The streets are not paved to handle rain. We get two monsoon seasons, but it's always a surprise to the road maintenance departments, city and county.
It's not a very colorful sunrise. We are headed east. The clouds are coming to Tucson from the south. They are from a storm off the west coast of Mexico in the Pacific Ocean. I hope we get some rain. None from this storm so far.
Next week there will be anode Pacific storm off the coast of California. We all need rain!

This is a new one! I took it a few days ago when I was out with my family visiting my stepmothers sister. Actually I was about to take some photos of a cat (A cat? Have I ever been taking a photo on a cat before?) but when I was on my way I saw this little fellow!
This picture was taken in Xcaret Mexico in the Yucatan Penninsula in October of 2007 during my honeymoon to Cancun. Xcaret is a beautiful ecological park, and had a variety of entertainment from snorkling to a live show. Awesome place to visit. I decided to give the Dave Hill effect a shot and I think it came out OK.
Some Subject Zero shots. This has be one of my favorite characters... No "coldfish" Liara please! ;)

This summer 2021 was hit by a very strong heat wave, it was called Lucifer, an African subtropical anticyclone, with temperatures in southern Italy that reached very high values, in some centers temperatures of 47 ° C were recorded and more (the European record was recorded in Syracuse with + 48.8 ° C): due to the great heat, the African subtropical anticyclone was given the name of "Lucifer", but we are sure that the Great Poet Dante Alighieri, father of Italian language, and today is the 700th year from the date of his death, is it okay to have chosen the name of Lucifer for this incredible heat wave ??! ... Lucifer was the most beautiful and luminous angel of creation, rebelled against God out of pride and envy in league with other rebel angels, he was defeated by the Archangel Michael, fell down from heaven until he reached the center of the earth, transforming himself into a hideous monster and causing the funnel-shaped chasm that will become the seat of Hell; Dante describes Lucifer in Canto XXXIV of Hell of the Divine Comedy, he (and this was what I wanted to arrive at) is stuck from the waist down "in the ice" ..! ... in fact the King of Hell is in a frozen lake fed by the Cocito river, and even the damned who are in that place are immersed in the ice ..! ... Dante and Virgil will use the body of Lucifer as if it were a ladder climbing high clinging to it, Dante and Virgil will thus walk a path hidden and will finally go out into the open air "to see the stars again".
All the photos I present were taken on the beaches of Taormina and its surroundings (Sicily-Italy); I made photos related to "beach photography" (a genre similar to "street photography");
... I photographed young and old people ... with a great desire for the sea and a great desire to dive into the sea to swim (even if the sea water is still a little cold now ...); I made some photo-portraits of people I didn't know, I thank them very much for their sympathy and their availability; I tried to capture the essence of minimal photographic stories, collected walking along the beaches ... in search of fleeting moments ...
I used a particular photographic technique for some photographs at the time of shooting, which in addition to capturing the surrounding space, also "inserted" a temporal dimension, with photos characterized by being moved because the exposure times were deliberately lengthened, they are confused -focused-imprecise-undecided ... the Anglo-Saxon term that encloses this photographic genre with a single word is "blur", these images were thus created during the shooting phase, and not as an effect created subsequently, in retrospect, in the post-production
Questa estate 2021 è stata colta da un'ondata di caldo molto forte, è stata chiamata Lucifero, causa di ciò un anticiclone subtropicale africano, con temperature nel meridione d’Italia che hanno toccato valori molto alti, in alcuni centri si sono registrate temperature di 47°C e più (a Siracusa è stato registrato il record europeo con +48.8°C): per via del grande caldo all’anticiclone subtropicale africano è stato dato il nome di “Lucifero”, ma siamo sicuri che il grandissimo Poeta Dante Alighieri, padre della Lingua Italiana, ed oggi ricorre il 700° anno dalla data della sua morte, sia d'accordo con l’aver scelto il nome di Lucifero per questa incredibile ondata di caldo??!...Lucifero era l’angelo più bello e luminoso del Creato, ribellatosi a Dio per superbia ed invidia in combutta con altri angeli ribelli, fu sconfitto dall’arcangelo Michele, precipitò giù dal cielo fino a raggiungere il centro della terra, trasformandosi in un mostro orrendo e causando la voragine a forma di imbuto che diventerà sede dell’Inferno; Dante descrive Lucifero nel Canto XXXIV dell'Inferno della Divina Commedia, egli (ed era a questo che desideravo arrivare) è conficcato dalla cintola in giù “nel ghiaccio”..!...infatti il Re dell’Inferno si trova in un lago ghiacciato alimentato dal fiume Cocito, ed anche i dannati che si trovano in quel luogo sono immersi nel ghiaccio..!...Dante e Virgilio useranno il corpo di Lucifero come se fosse una scala salendo in alto aggrappati ad esso, Dante e Virgilio percorreranno così un sentiero nascosto ed usciranno all’aria aperta finalmente «a riveder le stelle».
Tutte le foto che presento sono state realizzate sulle spiagge di Taormina e dintorni (Sicilia-Italia); ho realizzato foto riconducibili alla “beach photography” (un genere affine alla “street photography”);
ho fotografato persone giovani e meno giovani…con tanta voglia di mare e tanta voglia di immergersi in mare per fare qualche nuotata (anche se l’acqua del mare adesso è ancora un po’ fredda…); ho realizzato dei foto-ritratti di persone che non conoscevo, le ringrazio veramente tanto per la loro simpatia e la loro disponibilità; ho cercato di cogliere al volo l’essenza di storie fotografiche minime, raccolte camminando per sulle spiagge... alla ricerca di attimi fugaci s-fuggenti ...
Ho utilizzato per alcune fotografie una tecnica fotografica particolare al momento dello scatto, che oltre a catturare lo spazio circostante, ha "inserito" anche una dimensione temporale, con foto caratterizzate dall’essere mosse poiché volutamente sono stati allungati i tempi di esposizione, sono confuse-sfocate-imprecise-indecise...il termine anglosassone che racchiude con una sola parola questo genere fotografico è "blur", queste immagini sono state così realizzate in fase di scatto, e non come un effetto creato successivamente, a posteriori, in fase di post-produzione.

I put my fingers in front of the flash, and created a red effect. In the reflection of her eyes, you can see me taking a picture.
Our Sis told us about this trend....and its TRUE!!!! Be sure to check out the vid with sound....couldn't resist (also couldn't figure out how to get a video on here...so the effect isn't full yet! :P )
