A coyote, making its way through the meadow on a bright overcast morning, stopped occasionally to gaze in my direction, perhaps it was not comfortable with what was pointing at it.
I took this shot in early June. It is quite surprising that this individual still had some winter coat around the neck and shoulder. But I think the shedding should be completed pretty soon.

Groynes reduce longshore transport by trapping beach material and causing the beach orientation to change relative to the dominant wave directions. They mainly influence bedload transport and are most effective on shingle or gravel beaches. Sand is carried in temporary suspension during higher energy wave or current conditions and will therefore tend to be carried over or around any cross-shore structures. Groynes can also be used successfully in estuaries to alter nearshore tidal flow patterns.
A new version of yellow daffodil for the "one-of-a-kind" flower images project.
Did you know...
If you present someone with a single daffodil, legend has it bad luck may be on the horizon. Instead, deliver a whole bunch of them: a gift of several daffodils is believed to ensure happiness to the recipient. But that’s no surprise to us! It seems impossible not to feel just a little bit of joy at the sight of them.
Daffodil bulbs contain a compound called narciclasine. Scientists have discovered this substance may actually be effective in treating brain cancer!
Especially effective You can visit that at this place, the Rhein Falls from Schaffhausen. On average 373 cubic meters of water are falling down the rocks per second. On the maximum in 1965 it were 1250 cubic meters per second. That makes that waterfall to one of the three largest in europe.
Dies kann man besonders eindrucksvoll an diesem Ort miterleben, den Rheinfällen bei Schaffhausen. Im Durchschnit stürzen hier 373 Kubikmeter Wasser den Fels hinunter. Maximal waren es 1965 sogar 1250 Kubikmeter pro Sekunde. Damit ist dieser Wasserfall einer der drei größten in Europa.

I worked in a materials testing lab for a time after graduating from college. One of the items we regularly tested were hydrants. If I remember correctly they had to hold 250 pounds per square inch for a specified period of time and not leak or lose pressure. Normal house water pressure is 40 to 60 psi. Pretty amazing piece of work considering the design and how many lives this has saved. Shot with a Fujica ST801 and Takumar Super Multi Coated 55mm f2 lens. Film is Fomopan 100 developed in Rodinal at 1:25
Spring green is very much in the picture of this neighborhood in Wellesley, Massachusetts, on Tuesday, May 14, 2019. The middle of May is the best time to take the lovely pastel colors associated with springtime in the Boston metropolitan area.
The Great Blue Heron would often take the struggling fish prey and wade into the shallow river's edge to kill and swallow it, presumably to make sure it could not get away. This individual seen here, however, had decided to fly off with the catch to the shallow to eat it.

Thank you all very much for the visits and comments
Long exposure photography can be challenging at times. The lighting, timing and just how long the exposure, can make a huge difference in the outcome.

Rouen (France) - Samedi 11 Mars 2023, lors de la manifestation contre la réforme des retraite, les jeunes militants du PCF ont été très actifs. Pour se faire remarquer des médias qui couvraient l'événement, ils montaient systématiquement sur les toits des abribus en agitant leurs drapeaux. Quand la tête du cortège où se trouvent l’essentiel des journalistes, était passée, ils repartaient en courant vers une autre station de bus. Ces jeunes militants semblent avoir suivi des cours de communication. De mon temps, ils se contentaient de distribuer des tracts. En tout cas ça a été efficace, ils ne sont pas passés inaperçus.
Everyone to the bus shelters
Rouen (France) - Saturday March 11, 2023, during the demonstration against the pension reform, young PCF activists were very active. To get noticed by the media covering the event, they systematically climbed onto the roofs of bus shelters waving their flags. When the head of the procession, where most of the journalists are, had passed, they ran towards another bus shelter. These young activists seem to have taken courses in communication. In my day, they just handed out leaflets. In any case, it was effective, they did not go unnoticed.
The peony is a perennial flower. The majority of peony flowers are hybrids, classified as deciduous tree peonies or herbaceous peonies. The flowers on both varieties come in a wide assortment of hues and colors, including pink, red and pure white.
The peony is a showy, frilly and fragrant flower that comes in single or double varieties. The plants are thickly leaved and have large, deep green leaves. The peony possesses a tuberous root system.
Grown mainly as a decorative plant, the peony also has potential medicinal benefits. According to the journal Experimental Neurology, peony root has shown to be effective in treating neuron damage.
Fun Fact...The peony grows wild in many regions of Europe. The Romans introduced it to England around the year 1200.
Thanks so much for stopping by and your kind and encouraging words.. I appreciate them all! Sometimes I just can't answer each comment individually, but I do read them! ; )
Have a wonderful day everyone! ♥

The teddy bear cholla is so thick in this area, it makes an effective barrier to hikers. Also called jumping cholla, one must be careful not to get too close. The spines are painful to remove. Picture taken near Winkelman, Arizona.
The Illinois Central death-star paint scheme is, in my opinion, one of the greatest rebrands of all time. My friend Leo can attest to that! That's why I never miss a chance to shoot one of these units on the rare occasion one makes its way into Canada, even more so in the lead. Today's 396 sported IC 1022, a straight SD70, built in February of 1999. It was a real treat to see it, as this was only the second one I've ever seen leading. I only learned about this train from an early morning text sent by my friend Daniel. Thanks very much!
From the archives, an early morning view travelling to Huntly, Aberdeenshire. The December light was casting long shadows, and the mist was slowly rising from the valley and the far hills. I love B+W photographs, but it still mystifies me - why is it so effective to remove the natural colour? So I've written about it on my blog Take away the Colour trying to sort out what it is that so appeals to me. Not sure I've found an answer, but writing it made me think!

You don't always need anything fancy and special in a shot to make it effective, not when you have lovely fog
Even though this concrete silo that dwarfs its neighbors doesn't appear to be very welcoming (the dreary day probably contributed to that thought), it still somehow enticed me to leave Washington State Route 20 to explore the town for a few minutes. (Concrete's entire population of 732 could likely easily fit inside, should they weirdly decide to do so.) I found a Main Street of a typical small town in the United States and learned that this structure was painted in the early 1990s for a movie that was filmed here.

The snow we had in February was a dry snow. The next morning when I went out to see the neighborhood, the dry snow would slide off tree limbs and sparkle in the air when the sun hit it.
The Vought F4U Corsair was a powerful and highly maneuverable American fighter aircraft that was used during World War II and the Korean War. It was known for its distinctive "bent" wings and rugged design, making it one of the most effective fighters of its time. The Corsair was utilized by the US Navy, Marines, and other Allied forces, and earned a reputation for its speed, range, and firepower.
Take a guess as to where I went after this train had passed?
The "original" Norfolk Southern ES44AC was leading train 12R through CP Hip at the west end of Enola Yards.
Nine image merge from 50mm f1.4 which works out as effective f0.64 @ 230mm. That's if I got my calculations correct. Addendum: I got them wrong. I thought they looked suspect. It should be effective f0.38 @ 13.7mm. I'm sure we'll all sleep better knowing that.
This one's from a few months ago and I've already posted a portrait orientated version but given the lack of new stuff I've been able to shoot lately I've been going through the Hard drive...
This one has a small fishing boat Being tossed about close to the horizon on the right hand side. It was watching that boat enter the harbour that it became apparent just how effective this break water really is.

Her picture display moved me deeply--so dedicated and effective in using her art for social change. I felt humbled by the power and force of her message. Was an honor to meet her and see her work.
Carolyn Monastra: Brooklyn
SEEING BEYOND realism in landscapes, creating and discovering mystery in the natural world.
A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Carolyn Monastra received her MFA in photography from The Yale School of Art. For the past fifteen years her work has focused on creating and discovering mystery in the natural world. Artist residencies at The Djerassi Foundation, Blue Mountain Center, and the Saltonstall Foundation have given her inspirational environments in which to create her work. After being on a residency at the Skaftfell Visual Arts Center in Iceland, Carolyn was motivated to begin her current project, The Witness Tree, a project to honor and preserve places affected by climate change. Over the past four years she has visited nineteen US states, seventeen countries and every continent researching and photographing for this project. In 2012, she was selected by The Climate Reality Project to become one of their Climate Leaders. Some of Carolyn’s awards include a production grant from The Puffin Foundation, a travel grant from the English Speaking Union, and a multi-media fellowship from BRIC. Her work is in the Marguiles collection in Miami and has been exhibited in venues across the United States and in China, Northern Ireland, and Switzerland. She currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
This is another work in a Long Series Of Artists and their Art, Local n Out of Town Artists, Administrative Folks of Museums and Arts Centers, Board Members of SAMA. Fellow Allied Artists in our little tribe.
A collection of my new Friends and Supporters as I learn how to be a Public Artist. Plus, I'm sure, others I'll meet along the way.
I view this collection as a future project to be seen on the walls of museums n art centers a few years from now.
This is my reconstruction of an analog artist using and engaging in the ancient Artistic medium of photo-taking n looking at regular pictures into a 21st.-Century Digital Fractal Painting Visual.
