it's funny, I used to get excited to find spotted towhees. Now that I've learned their calls and habitats, I see them all the time. The thing that makes the shot special is getting them when they're not buried in undergrowth or bushes. This shot was at Commonwealth Lake.

I was super excited to see these coyote pups while in Yellowstone. The den was in the distance, but I still came away with some ok photos. I also got to see both of the adults come back and interact with their pups.
I get pretty excited with anticipation when I see her in the chute because I know its going to be good every time, this ain't her first rodeo. I'm not on the right side of the buck but I felt I had to showcase her anyway. It is like she's going to buck herself right off the screen.
My favourite, catchy tune right now called "First Rodeo"
Love to dance to this song even when I'm by myself. The words could have been written about me back in the day. lol

One of my favourite birds is the swallow, when they leave at the end of summer my heart drops and winter is just around the corner, but in late spring I start to watch out for their return, and I still get as excited at 51 years old as I did as a young man. Their return signals long sunny days and warm evenings, watching them dart around the sky, chattering and laughing as they catch bugs and take them to their baby’s. I’ve been so privileged to be able to watch their lives unfold this year as the new house has provided a sheltered nesting site in the stables for many years. This little bunch of baby’s will be filling the sky with chattering joyous fun any day now. I just hope they return safely next year to make our lives just that little bit happier and enjoyable.
I am excited about this experiment! I made this image from merging a "straight" shot of the tulips with an impressionist/blurry shot of them. (see below). I've merged my pics with other people's textures on occasion, but I've wanted to try this with two of my own versions of the same scene. Maybe it's like an extreme Orton effect? Perhaps they'll name this the Belightful effect ; )
In the field of excited sighs
Inside natures open thighs
Grows a beauty, oh so sweet
That my fingers they do meet
That my fingers they caress
Natures defences, i undress
Allowing my sun to now cover
My sweet, wild growing lover
That fills the field with excited sighs
That opens wide, it's waiting thighs
Waiting for my love, to descend
cover it with sunshine, that will never end
I was pretty excited to find out that Be My Mannequin? Pose Store was coming to Chronicles & Legends: Deep Blue Sea! Knowing BMM?'s (Be My Mannequin?) attention to detail and how the poses are always so natural and versatile, I knew these MER poses were going to be amazing!
BMM? is there with a two singles poses and a couples pose with two tentacle props! Additionally, there is a FATPACK containing all sets of poses and the props for 10% OFF. The fatpack can ONLY be found at the event!
Now the really epic thing about these poses are that they are not only for mers, but for humans as well! That's right! As seen in the picture, all the poses will pose your human legs or mer tails!
Now while this set of Be My Mannequin?'s poses were meant for the Cynefin tails (Nemissa and Lorelei), they are also confirmed to work with: Cove's Tidal Tail, I Monster, Yabusake Betta, and GA.EG & Gaeline Creations. Your best bet is to DEMO the poses at the event!
In my picture, Vin (the red merman) is posed with one of the singles poses: Euphoria. Its intended to be a loop-the-loop with you being posed upside down! I simply adjusted for the picture!
Then there is Ana (the green mermaid) posed with the other singles pose: Exploring. Its a stunning swimming pose that would also double as a great flying pose!
I (the startled human) am posed with the couples pose of the set: No Escape. I'm using the 'Escaping Left' which was perfect for displaying the shocked reaction I was needing! Not shown in the picture is the other half of the pose: 'Escaping Right' and the two detailed tentacle props that wrap around your leg/tail! You can even transfer them to your friends!
You can see the rezzed out DEMO of the tentacle props at the Be My Mannequin? main store! There, you can also participate in a HUNT where you can find an additional singles pose for mers and humans called Sunning! More details can be found at the main store!
Chronicles & Legends is drawing to a close and will be ending on February 5th. However there is still time to go and DEMO these poses and snatch up the FATPACK: Unseen World before its too late!
You won't regret adding these fantastic poses to your collection!
ALSO! You can check out Vin and Ana's amazing Flickrs in People in Photo!
Vin is the creator of Be My Mannequin? Pose Store and Ana is the creator of Pariah, a dark/alternative body modification store!

Hey guys! *waves*
I'm back from a long hiatus. I had to take a break.
Slowly catching up on things but feeling very excited to start blogging again now that things calmed down for me.

Arriving up the farm, first thing she does, is bolt out the car to the front veranda, where high on a wall hangs a possum house.
She is glued, waiting, excited, delighted, loves it.
Anybody home today ?

"Anticipation"
No ed's..
A lifer for me! I was so excited to see this fellow at the pond yesterday. It had been raining all day but about mid afternoon it slowed so I grabbed the camera and went out to see what I could see and get some fresh air. I'm happy to say I had "Big Bertha" lens on too. Honestly, this bird is so well camophlaged, if it hadn't run along the bank of the pond, I never would have seen it. Only with a lot of help from Lightroom can you barely make out what it is now I think! LOL. I also managed to migrate 38,430 raw file photos from Lightroom (and the PC) to an external hard drive. It took about 12 hours! PHew! I organized the whole year of 2020 into months first. Painful work indeed but it needed to be done for sure. Rainy days have their benefits!

I felt excited when Friday shows up, true as a galant hero, his high spirits lift almost everyone up. And when Saturday comes, she she took my hand and seat me down. "Breathe..." she says..."slow down..
Have a beautiful weekend..
Elephants may spread their ears when they are excited, surprised or alarmed and try to make themselves look bigger. They may also spread their ears to cool off by aerating the blood vessels in the ears which circulates cooler blood throughout the body.
This elephant cow was accompanied by her calf. It was so small it practically disappeared in the tall grass - maybe that's why she was vigilant.

Many thanks for all your visits and comments.
PADDY: "Wait for me, Scout! Wait for me!"
SCOUT: "Ssshhh! Hush Paddy!" *Puts paw to mouth.* "I can hear bees buzzing!" *Excited.*
PADDY: "I know, Scout. I can hear them too."
SCOUT: "Really Paddy?"
PADDY: "Why of course I can Scout! There are bees everywhere."
SCOUT: "I know, Paddy." *Pauses.* "But you are so... so... so..."
PADDY: "Astute, knowledgeable, Scout?" *Helpful.*
SCOUT: "Of such an advanced age, that I am surprised you can hear so well, Paddy."
PADDY: *Crumples muzzle in irritation.* "Scout!"
SCOUT: "What?!?!"
PADDY: "Scout, I will have you know that there is nothing wrong with my hearing!"
SCOUT: "I just said that, Paddy. Didn't you hear?" *Shakes head.* "See, your hearing is failing Paddy because you are so ancient!" *Nods seriously.*
PADDY: "I am not ancient, Scout!" *Indignant.* "And what have I said about passing personal remarks on other people's... or bears' ages, Scout?"
SCOUT: "But it's true, Paddy! You come from ye olden days, when the world was black and white, therefore it only stands to reason that you are ancient." *Nods.*
PADDY: "How many times must I tell you that only the television was black and white then. Everything else was in colour."
SCOUT: "Well you would say that Paddy, because there was no such thing as colour in ye olden days, so of course you thought black and white was colour." *Smiles.* "Anyway, I hear bees, so I think they are hiding in this sunflower. Let;s climb up and see!"
PADDY: "Wait Scout!" *Puts out paw to stop Scout from climbing the sunflower stalk.*
SCOUT: "What is it, Paddy?"
PADDY: "Are you quite sure they are up there, Scout? We've climbed so many sunflowers when you think you've heard bees, and so far we haven't seen any."
SCOUT: "Well of course I am, Paddy! I can hear them as clearly as... as... as a..."
PADDY: "A bell, Scout?" *Helpful.*
SCOUT: *Giggles.* "No funny old Paddy, not a bell: a bee of course! What else would a bee sound like?" *Giggles more.*
PADDY: "No, no, Scout! It's a saying."
SCOUT: "Well of course I know the bees are saying things to each other because I can hear them buzzing. We just don't speak bee language to know what they are saying!"
PADDY: "No Scout... I mean... oh!" *Sighs.* "Never mind! Now Scout, I don't want to climb a sunflower only to find it empty. There are easier ways of finding honey than climbing sunflowers and trying to follow bees. There are jars of honey for sale at the entrance to the sunflower farm. We'll get Daddy to by some."
SCOUT: "But that wouldn't be as much fun, Paddy! Let's look in this one!" *Starts climbing sunflower.*
PADDY: *Follows Scout.*
SUNFLOWER: *Rocks and sways with Scout and Paddy's movement, dislodging several bees who fly away.*
SCOUT: *Reaching top of sunflower.* "Ahh! Here we go!"
PADDY: "Do you see any bees, Scout?"
SCOUT: "I'm just looking, Paddy!" *Looks in sunflower.* "Oh no! I don't see any bees!"
PADDY: *Reaching top of sunflower.* "What? No bees?"
SCOUT: "I was sure I heard them, Paddy!"
PADDY: *Frowns.* "Maybe you are the one who needs to check your hearing, Scout!" *Shakes head.*
SCOUT: "Paddy!" *Affronted.* "How can you even suggest such a thing? I am young... and tenacious... and pretty! Young, tenacious and pretty bears don't have hearing problems!"
PADDY: "Well neither do ol... err... other bears, Scout!" *Nods seriously.* "Come on! Let's climb down. I'm tried of looking inside sunflowers for bees to follow to find honey. Let's find Daddy and we'll ask him to buy us some honey!"
SCOUT: "Oh alright Paddy!" *Bergrudging.*
PADDY: "And after we do that, we can play some hide-and-seek." *Suggestive.*
SCOUT: "Hide-and-seek!" *Excited.* "Why didn't you say so, Paddy? Let's go!"
PADDY and SCOUT: *Climb down thw stalk of the sunflower and go in search of Daddy in the field.*
My Paddington Bear came to live with me in London when I was two years old (many, many years ago). He was hand made by my Great Aunt and he has a chocolate coloured felt hat, the brim of which had to be pinned up by a safety pin to stop it getting in his eyes. The collar of his mackintosh is made of the same felt. He wears wellington boots made from the same red leather used to make the toggles on his mackintosh.
He has travelled with me across the world and he and I have had many adventures together over the years. He is a very precious member of my small family.
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
Saturday last week, my partner surprised me with a belated Saint Valentine's gift and took me to the largest sunflower farm in Victoria, in the small town of Dunnstown, just on the outskirts of the provincial city of Ballarat, to photograph the flowers for a twilight session. Being in the Southern Hemisphere, I am in summer, going towards autumn and nearing the final few weeks of summer daylight savings time, so the sun doesn't set until around eight o'clock in the evening. Thus when we arrived at six, the evening was warm and we were faced with a wonderful undulating field of golden yellow sunflowers, basking in the sunshine beneath clear blue skies. It was like a great field of endless sunshine. Of course Paddy and Scout came with us in the hope of an adventure or two!
Laiken Britt’s picturesque sunflower farm was not only the first in the Moorabool Shire, but in Victoria, and remains the state’s largest, attracting thousands of people on weekends to the little town of Dunnstown whilst the flowers are in season. ‘Pick Your Own Sunflowers’ has been running for six years now. I attended for my first visit last year with a couple of dear friends.
While I've seen my share of ruby-crowned kinglets, not many share with me their crown ... for which they're named. I think that he was excited to see us. :-)

A Tufted Titmouse watches with great anticipation as some peanuts are placed out after heavy rains over the past days.
I was real excited to get head-on shots of this Killdeer. They are very noisy so he gave me some warning as I was shooting some Sanderlings on the ground. I got a series of 7 or 8 shots, all in decent focus.
I was VERY excited to find two Northern Red Salamanders! Neither were red yet but hopefully I will find them again in the future after they grow up.
Toni Rodriguez - thank you for an inspiring ref.
I had not realised that making a collage could be so interesting, difficult or time consuming and this too despite taking a print out of the reference! Made over 3 sittings.
I have been looking at Gila Rayberg's inspirational mosaics for a while now and more recently I saw a beautiful piece by Irit Levi and was excited about trying out. I decided that a collage would be easier than making a mosaic. While it might be easier, I can confirm that it isnt easy! :D
Moon rising over pumpkin patch and hops field in Marion County Oregon near the town of Mt Angel.
The wasn’t much light left when I drove past this pumpkin patch, and I was so excited with the scene that I jumped out of my car and ran down the road looking for a shot. Someone from the nearby farmhouse thought I was going to steal pumpkins and yelled, “Stay away from my pumpkins!”. When she saw that I was just going to photograph them, we both had a good laugh.
In my previous article, like many photographer, I was very excited about the release of the new R6 and R5 because they offered tremendous advances.
www.flickr.com/photos/garivalden/50209737163/in/dateposted/
I bought the R6, the Canon RF 100-500mm and sold everything to buy again a 5D mark III
Why? Because the Canon R6 is also that:
1) Delivery of the RF – EF Adapter Ring offered by Canon has arrived 60 days after purchase. Fortunately, my nice store went out of its way to lend me one.
Many customers have suffered this and it is scandalous on the part of Canon not to have integrated the ring in the original box.
2) Prepare to pay (and I'm not even talking about new RF lenses)
- a very fast and robust SD card to enjoy the burst like the Sony Tough SD
- Resistant, I used Lightroom 6 box. To read new raw CR3s, you need Lightroom Classic
- To make the photos look like a Canon Picture Style you need a quality color profile, thank you to Damien Bernal for your recommendations
The choice of an L Bracket is complicated with this screen, Tom Migot has devoted several videos to it.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA25FyekVKY
The R6 is with High ISO but if you want a very clean result, Denoise by Topaze is the best Tool , So, one question: Why have I never needed it before?
www.flickr.com/photos/garivalden/51296276233
This photo at 12800 iso will be almost unusable on 5D Mark III but never forget that the easiest and most beautiful thing is to take pictures when there is ... light
- The second battery is essential. It is difficult to say how many pictures you can take with one battery but I advise you to double your battery park as well as the charging time.
For years, I shot without ever thinking about the drums with a second in the bag never used.
3) The ergonomics of the R6 disappointed me and brought nothing
- The grip is worse than before. However, I have small hands and the handle seems too small to me. Those with large hands have their little finger in the air and some props even sell a base to add.
I wore for years a 5d Mark III with a 300mm 2.8mm IS II sometimes by the tips of two fingers to tell if the whole thing was balanced.
- The SD card door opens only by friction. There is still a small slot to slide a nail with difficulty, but the 5d Mark III and IV opened more easily with one hand.
The adjustable screen has never been useful to me because its tilt to the left of the device is not practical and even less with the L bracket
Touch has never been useful to me, in the field physical buttons are more practical
4 / A user experience that sometimes disappoints:
- Eye tracking stalls when it is too complicated in the foliage. Does the ultimate portrait of your dreams with a subject against a pretty background require this technology?
- In billebaude if you take your camera back, it will sometimes take a while before everything turns on again. Several times I had to turn off the R6 completely because the autofocus didn't know where it was.
- You see a beautiful sunset, you take your R6, you put your eye in the viewfinder and there… disappointment. Why not keep looking in our good old DSLR?
5) The rendering of R5 and R6 is often very different in appearance compared to DSLR.
More so if you mount a native RF lens.
Is it the technology or the level of detail that wants this? The shots often appear to be very artificially separated, and natural colors like grass are sometimes strange. I know you can change everything in PP, but all of this bothers me and takes me away from the pictorial and cinematographic universe.
My daughter came home from school with a drastically different school photo than I saw for a decade, I got it, the canon photographer (my daughter had asked a few years ago ;-) had bought an R6 or R5 and the schoolyard became a bit strange as « Gattaca ».... Advantage for Eye AF, it’s tea time for him ;-)
6) Let's talk about goals.
The photos of a Canon hybrid with an RF lens that I have seen in recent months made me want to buy a Canon EF 85mm f1.2 II 1 month after the R6. I'm not sure that was the goal. from Canon that we buy back the EF lenses that we had sold second-hand.
www.flickr.com/photos/garivalden/50806574161
Canon did not lose everything because, to get Canon cash back, I exchanged my Canon EF 300MM 2.8 is II before the summer of 2021 for an RF 100-500mm ...
Why did I do this?
Fear of obsolescence and maybe a follow-up helped by an abundant marketing hype which made me give in and go against my convictions of never buying a zoom because the rendering really has nothing to do with a focal length fixed premium… I sold it 1 month later.
The bottom line of this financially not very pleasant operation is that, as in many areas, if we have the feeling that things will not be in our best interest, it is better to abstain ;-)
What will I miss most about the Canon R6
Focusing in low light, your 85mm 1.2 will get a facelift
Staggering stabilization from 100-500mm net to 1/50 th to 500mm
The focus on the eye, clearly the majority of wedding, sports and animal photographers will never want to go back, I understand them, this is a decisive advantage over the competition
And especially the advantage of having the collimators close to the edge unlike the DSLR
The burst and the endless sorting it generates, the swiveling screen, the touchscreen, the wifi, the gps, I will miss less.
I don't think I’ll buy again this excellent 300mm 2.8 IS II.
I still got the magical 135 mm F2 and 85mm 1.2 , my next wildlife Canon Lens will be a prime EF, surely excellent, not too big (price too) because I take my equipment everywhere, repairable I don't know ...
www.flickr.com/photos/garivalden/47688762631
Every day, especially since the digital and the Internet, our so-called user-friendly world becomes unnecessarily more complicated and deliberately consumerist.
The R5 and R6 are good cameras and Canon has really caught up to the competition but it's not my direction.
The 5D Mark III is 2012, a century after 1912, my favorite year, in which I have been preparing a photo for a very long time.
What if Canon EF finally became a way of life.

Just turned 18 today, quite excited. I decided to start uploading images without a border now.
Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian flickr friends out there! Hope you have a wonderful day!
This picture looks harder than it is because the word was soo long. I had to do it a couple times. By the 6th time, I was able to write the words faster and nicer.
"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." - John Fitzgerald Kennedy
That's the reason we kind of exist;
It's like our Job.To give to each other. And learn from each other.To Capture moments of people. So it's really strange to have somebody ignore the obvious human being right in front of them”
This is the only picture which I DID NOT do any color, brightness and etc adjust. Direct converted from RAW to Jpeg.

Here I am, standing on the shoreline just after 3:30 in the morning, the horizon is already ablaze with colour, I’m excited. My tripod is already out and waiting for the camera as I rapidly change my lens under the illumination of my head torch, I’ll use my super EF16-35 f4L, I’m excited. I look for an early composition, these rock platforms look fantastic, leading lines galore carved out by millennia of sea erosion, I’m excited. It’s still low light, to keep that colour on the horizon I need a ND grad, I decide to use a medium 2 stop to lift the foreground darkness, I’m excited. I frame the image, check the settings, f11, calculate the shutter speed, back to ISO 100 and bulb, this is fun, I’m excited. The first photo taken with a 76 second exposure, I check the results but no pressure it’s still 40 minutes from sunrise, did I say I’m excited. The first photo of the morning, the day before the summer solstice, the time is 3:40.
Our grandson was showing us his new rocket shot today and was so excited at the speed. Of course, we had to search the bushes and trees for where the arrow landed :) Happy Mother's Day to all who celebrate it.
This little Tufted Titmouse is fired up about something. Carried that green wild grape around forever. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

Late July 2023...
This month of storms was just down right jaw dropping. Why not continue since we didn't have any storms in May or June! Overtime for July is the way I like it!
90% of the time of year in South Central Nebraska is Hot & Humid. It is normally the beginning of our dry season. But not in 2023.
In the path of the Jet Stream that day that forced some severe thunderstorm development over south central Nebraska. We were not excepting anything super severe but a tornado or 2 is always possible this time of year.
Gear Primed & excited about the views I'm going to get for this event that day. I knew they were going to be photogenic.

SCOUT: "Paddy! Paddy!" *Excited.* "Paddy come and look!"
PADDY: "What is it, Scout? Are you alright?"
SCOUT: "Of course I am alright. Paddy! Why would anything be wrong?"
PADDY: "Well, usually when you call me, Scout, it's because something is... well wrong... and you need help."
SCOUT: "Oh!" *Puts paw to mouth.* "Well, in this case I don't need help today, Paddy! I am excited!"
PADDY: "Why Scout? What did you find in this pumpkin patch?"
SCOUT: "I found a coach, Paddy!"
PADDY: "A coach?" *Surprised.*
SCOUT: "Yes Paddy!" *Nods emphatically.* "You know, a carriage."
PADDY: "Yes Scout, I know what a coach is." *Looks around.* "I don't see any coach."
SCOUT: "Then you aren't looking hard enough, Paddy! It's right here!" *Points excitedly towards a nice ripe pumpkin.*
PADDY: "That isn't a coach Scout!" *Shakes head.*
SCOUT: "Yes it is, Paddy!" *Nods head.*
PADDY: "No it's not!" *Shakes head more.* "It's a pumpkin!"
SCOUT: "It is a coach Paddy! Don't listen to him, my beautiful one!" *Strokes pumpkin's rind with paw lovingly.* "Or rather, it could be, Paddy, with a bit of magic! It is full of potential! It could be the best coach in the whole wide world, EVER!"
PADDY: "Do you mean like Cinderella's coach, Scout?"
SCOUT: "Oh no, Paddy!" *Shakes head.* "Better than that, Paddy: Scoutarella's coach!" *Jumps up and down excitedly.*
PADDY: "Scoutarella?" *Alarmed.*
SCOUT: "Yes! That will be me!" *Pats chest with paw proudly.* "I shall be Scoutarella, and my magic pumpkin coach can drive me to the royal ball where I can dance in my very best tutu with Prince Peter, who also happens to be mijn beste vriend, and Princess Rosie, who also happens to be Prince Peter's princess! You can come too, Paddy, but no-one will dance with you."
PADDY: "Why not, Scout? I happen to be a very good dancer." *Disgruntled.*
SCOUT: "Well, for somebear who is ancient, from ye olden days when the world was black and white, you are a good dancer, but no-one dances like that any more!" *Giggles.* "Besides, somebear has to play a wicked stepsister!
PADDY: "Scout!"
SCOUT: "What?!?!"
PADDY: "Well it isn't going to be me, Scout!" *Folds paws akimbo across chest. "Besides, how many times must I tell you that it is rude to discuss my age in such a way! Anyway, as I keep saying, it wasn't the world that was black and white. It was the telly that was!"
SCOUT: "That's what you say, Paddy!" *Scoffs.* "Well... what's your magic like?"
PADDY: "My magic, Scout?" *Alarmed.*
SCOUT: "Yes Paddy! I need a faerie godbear to come and transform this pumpkin into my beautiful magical golden coach coach. That could be you... if your magic is good enough that is!" *Nods seriously.*
My Paddington Bear came to live with me in London when I was two years old (many, many years ago). He was hand made by my Great Aunt and he has a chocolate coloured felt hat, the brim of which had to be pinned up by a safety pin to stop it getting in his eyes. The collar of his mackintosh is made of the same felt. He wears wellington boots made from the same red leather used to make the toggles on his mackintosh.
He has travelled with me across the world and he and I have had many adventures together over the years. He is a very precious member of my small family.
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.

Here are a few more pic of yesterday's jump. It was fabulous and I will describe it more once I have got over the post jump Party :-) Thank you for all your donations. I'm keeping the site open for another few months in case anyone else would like to donate.
Hey everyone,
We are SO excited to bring to you the NEWEST from Peaches 'N Cream. This time we are releasing a gacha inspired by one of my FAVORITE anime's -- Madoka Magica.
The rare is an animated music box that spins, glows, and plays music on click.
The handheld gems come with a custom bento animation to hold them.
We are so thrilled to be a part of The Crystal Heart Fair, and will update this AD with a taxi when it opens on June 29th!
xoxo,
Peachy and Max
