Just for fun, I combined my Lensbaby Composer for Nikon with the Olympus tele-converter MC-14. I guess the FF equivalent of about 140mm. With the 2.8 disc the actual aperture is probably about f/4.5.
On the 11th April 2018 I visited Hythe village for the very first time. Not really knowing what to expect I found it a very beautiful village on the banks of the Southampton water. Hythe is a town near Southampton, Hampshire. It is located by the shore of Southampton Water, and has a ferry service connecting it to Southampton. Hythe has a small shopping area, a pier, and a very picturesque marina for yachts.
The name Hythe means landing place or haven. Hythe is recorded in a Parliamentary roll from 1293. The Hythe ferry to Southampton is marked on a map by Christopher Saxton of 1575, and on a map by John Harrison in 1788. Hythe was part of the parish of Fawley, although it became a separate parish in 1841. The current church, of Saint John the Baptist, was erected in 1874. It is of red brick with Bath Stone dressings. There were at one time even stocks in the village.
Thanks in part to the British Power Boat Company and it’s excellent access to the English Channel, during World War II Hythe was used as a port for the little ships of the Royal Navy as they were then known, the Motor Torpedo Boats and the RAF Air Sea Rescue Boats. In 1960, The Hovercraft Development Company and Sir Christopher Cockerell, who was the founder, moved to Hythe, he did in fact live in one of the houses near to the marina. There was also a small Royal Air Force base in Hythe known as RAF Hythe. Until its closure in September 2006 it was used by the United States Army to service and maintain watercraft.
Hythe was a village up to the 1950’s, but the expansion of Fawley Refinery, now closed, led to a demand for more houses for workers, and Hythe and Dibden Purlieu were allowed to expand into a small town. In 1983, following the growth of Hythe, the parish of Dibden was renamed to Hythe and Dibden, to reflect the importance of Hythe as a new focal point of the Parish
Hythe has a small shopping area clustered around the High Street, which includes a Waitrose Supermarket, a public library, several charity shops, and various small independent retail shops and cafes. The Hythe Pier, Railway and Ferry operates across Southampton Water to Southampton, and is the oldest working pier train in the world. Hythe's position makes it a good viewing point for watching ocean liners arriving and departing at the port of Southampton, which attracts ship spotters to the area. Hythe has a marina, at which a large number of yachts and boats are moored. Large and expensive houses are situated around the marina, overlooking the waterside. This is controlled by large lock gates at the entrance leading out to Southampton Water.
The pier, railway and ferry service are currently operated by Blue Funnel Ferries of Southampton. In October 2016 the previous owners ( White Horse Ferries ) warned their staff of potential redundancy which suggested an uncertain future from the pier and ferry service. After months of talks, Mr. Lee Rayment of Blue Funnel Ferries completed negotiations to acquire the Pier, Train and Ferry with operations starting on 21 April 2017. The railway is the oldest continuously operating public pier train in the world. Hythe Pier stretches 700 yards ( 640 metres ) from the centre of Hythe to the deep water channel of Southampton Water. It is approximately 16 feet ( 4.9 metres) wide, and carries a pedestrian walkway and cycle~way on its northern side and the Hythe Pier Railway on its southern side. During normal high tides the pier is 4 feet ( 1.2 metres ) above the surface of the water. In 1922 the railway was finally reconstructed and electrified, attaining its current form as seen today. The track is laid to 2 ft ( 610 mm ) narrow gauge and is electrified at 250 V DC by a third rail on the seaward side of the track.

For 2 week's I've been waiting for this camera. We had a new UPS driver who said he couldn't find our address and returned it back to the camera company. I called them, and they said I needed to place another order on my credit card. HELLO...I don't have that kind of money. I told them, you have my camera and my money, I want one or the other. I ended up having to call Amazon because that's where the order started from and they took care of it. So if you don't see me for awhile, I am either reading up on my camera, playing with my camera, or just hugging it lol. The zoom lens on the left is my daughter's she let me borrow it!
Too many of my friends are getting pregnant. And it's near impossible to not pat their bellies (that's not my hand in the photo, though. That's the daddy's hand.)
Yesterday morning I drove the 18 miles from my home to Hog Pen Gap on the Richard Russell Scenic Highway where the Appalachian Trail crosses it at an elevation of 3,450 feet above sea level. I found a shady spot for my folding chair, and waited for the expected crowds to arrive. I did not have the lenses, filters and other equipment to do justice to the sun, moon and corona – you’ll find many other photographers online who did a much better job of that. I was more interested in trying to preserve a record of the community experience of the event in that one spot.
I met families from all over the Southeast, and we all waited patiently for the almost two minutes of totality that this spot afforded. It did not get as dark as I expected, and, for some reason, we did not see an approaching “wall of darkness” running across the landscape at 1,800 miles per hour from our vantage point as I had read and hoped. I was able to see and, I hope partially capture, something of the 360 Degree "Sunset Effect" . One eclipse scientist writes that the orange, glowing effect happens on the horizon because the sun is still shining outside the path of totality.
Nobody around me got hysterical or dropped to their knees in awe – things were much more mellow than that at Hog Pen Gap. I have to confess that, despite what I had heard and read from many sources about their previous experiences with total eclipses, I did not find it to be “soul shattering” or “life changing”. I’m hoping maybe that just means my life was just fine before the eclipse and my soul did not need to be shattered.
I think my experience was captured best by a poem by Ron Rash, "Eclipse", that was commissioned by National Public Radio (reprinted with permission by the poet):
This afternoon in Clemson, South Carolina,
we raise our eyes as our ancestors did,
but know that what we see is not a sign
of some calamity, a god’s displeasure,
yet as the sun and moon and earth align
something those before us felt survives,
eclipses all our knowledge and we share
the wonder as day and night become one.
How We Learn
NPR's "Tell Me More" 8:30 - 9:00 AM doors open, breakfast served; 9:00 - 10:00 AM LIVE SHOW
8:30 am - 10:00 am MDT on Tuesday, July 2, 2013
(Tickets Required) Join NPR's "Tell Me More" for three captivating discussions: In the first, we look at the ways innovations in education are transforming learning experiences for today’s students. Gone are the days when music class was just about listening to Mozart and math class was taught the same way to every student. For the second discussion, we hear from Shabana Basij-Rasikh, who was willing to risk her life in her native Afghanistan for an education. She would finish high school in the United States, eventually graduating from Middlebury College two years ago. Now she speaks about a school she co-founded in Afghanistan that helps young women access education at home and abroad. And finally, we address parenting your twentysomething. No shortage of articles have been written about young people in their twenties, who aren’t making enough money but are making less-than-stellar life decisions. Yet, some suggest that rather than expecting the worst from our 20-year-olds, we ought to set the bar high.

I had half expected a wintery wonderland in Yosemite - similar to this.
I had expected a smooth snowy white carpet draping the entire valley.
I had envisioned pine trees sagging under the weight of fresh snow on its leaves.
I had assumed that the snowy fog would meld over the meadows.
I had hoped for frozen rivers and waterfalls and still reflections in the valley.
And for being the end of February, these were not hard to ask for. Suprisingly, Mother Nature dealt a wild card that weekend - it had pushed the snowline to about 5000ft and was snickering at me from behind the cover of the fog.
There was nary a snowfall in the valley, just a cold and bitter rain.
Still, the low-hanging clouds in the valley provided some neat lighting situations when the sun poked its nose into the valley, albeit only for a brief period of time that cold Saturday.

With Facebook’s Oculus Rift, Sony’s Project Morpheus, Samsung’s Gear VR and even Microsoft’s Hololens, you may wonder… where is the giant of a company – the company that prides itself for its innovation and creativity, Google’s, stance in all of these? Well, as expected of the creator of th...
The aircraft captain said: 'we expect a smooth ride', so I leaned back in my chair.
I turned my head to the left and saw those big letters on the wing: 'Do NOT WALK OUTSIDE THIS AREA'
And again, this made me feel insecure.
By the way, I think this important message should be translated in at least five languages. After all, there is enough space for more letters. Meaningful symbols would also be helpful.

I don't know what I expected when I rolled into Stanford. Another interesting but halfway abandoned town, I suppose. Boy was I wrong. What I observed was easily one of the most beautiful and charming towns I have ever seen! Think "perfect, classic small town". This charming place is clean and bustling, with cute little storefronts and the town has a lovely color scheme of flowers in all planters and hanging baskets. Big kudos to the town of Stanford, they keep everything ship shape and so cute! Another big plus is it's located in the middle of sprawling, beautiful prairie yet surrounded on the skyline by mountains. This is probably one of the top 5 places in Montana I would love to live. Maybe some day :)
"Stanford is a county seat of Judith Basin. In 1880 Calvin and Edward Bower came here with a thousand head of sheep and acquired 100,000 acres. The Bowers named the settlement for their old home, Standfordville, in Duchess County, New York. Stanford was a station on the Fort Benton-Billings stage route and a meeting place for cowboys from the Judith Basin Pool and other cattle companies who stock grazed the rich Judith Basin before homesteaders and sheepmen arrived.
The Judith Basin County Museum was opened in 1967. The museum has many old time articles, old pictures and some history books. It also contains a collection of 2,082 sets of salt and pepper shakers; a collection of 50,000 buttons; an Indian artifacts display, and many more items. Charles M. Russell, a famous Western artist, lived and painted many of his paintings in the area. There is a display of some of his paintings at the museum.
For years stories of white wolves of prodigious strength and cunning grew and multiplied among folk living in the Judith. One particularly huge wolf known as Old Snowdrift became a legendary outlaw.(from Cheney's Names on the Face of Montana, Mountain Press Publishing Company) Between Stanford and the Little Belt mountains, ranged the Judith Basin area's notorious White Wolf. There he reigned supreme for over fifteen years, preying on calves and eluding the cattlemen trying to track him down. As his fame grew, hunters from all over the United States came to try their luck at hunting the legendary White Wolf. When the White Wolf was finally captured, locals found that he was as large as had been reported, weighing 83 pounds and measuring, including the tail, six feet long.
Recreation opportunities abound in the nearby Lewis and Clark National Forest, Judith River Wildlife Management Area and Ackley Lake State Park. The Judith River Wildlife Management Area, at the edge of the Little Belt Mountains is a good place to view large elk herds in late fall and winter." -centralmontana.com

We have one girl (as you've probably figured by my flickr pool) and now we're expecting # 2!! I love this fabric combo for the nursery! DH is the decision maker/co-designer. He has the final say on this one. He wants vehicles that look hand drawn/cartoonish. Nothing TOO bold or colorful. This combo fits perfect!

I was not expecting to find one of the doors wide open to the Superintendents House when I brought my dog for a walk today. I quickly ran through the house, snapped some poor quality photos of the interior and left. I will have to go back and properly take photos of the interior soon. Gotta document this lovely architecture while I can.
In February 2023, I heard the news that the state of Connecticut has announced it will be demolishing these beautiful pieces of architecture, to finally create a planned out state park on the property. On one hand I am glad this property will be enhanced and be a nice park, but I am saddened the state let these historic structures decay (on purpose?) and just throw them into the trash. A better solution was available, nobody wanted to open up their pockets...
I had my knee follow-up appointment with Dr. F today, to get the results of my MRI. He said he didn't see what he was expecting, which in a way is good, but is also bad because it doesn't get us any closer to figuring out what is going on.
He did say that the MRI shows some continued damage (both known from the surgery and possibly a little bit of new stuff) on the lateral half of my kneecap. The cartilage continues to wear and catch as it goes through the motions. Because of this, we've ruled out a cortisone injection, though we haven't yet ruled out the other series of injections that he talked about last week. For now, he wants me to try this lovely brace that you see in the photo. The straps that go horizontal are actually pulling my kneecap out of its "home" and into a new location, trying to alleviate the catching/wearing of the cartilage. There's a U-shaped area that the patella is supposed to be stabilized in. I have to say....this hurts like HELL. I can feel the swelling (thump thump thump), and my kneecap is pissed off right now. I get to wear this thing for two months, until I go back and see him again just prior to Thanksgiving. He said to wear it all the time, and if I had any significant pain (after the period of adjustment that I'm sure to have) or something happened, to call, and he'd see me immediately. So, I'm still his "special project".
Someone at work today gave me a good analogy for what the brace is doing, and why it hurts so much right now. They compared it to having braces on your teeth, and the pain you have when the orthodontist makes his monthly adjustment. The teeth have to get used to their new position, and the first several days can be quite unpleasant.
Unpleasant? Check!
As for other options? He said that he didn't want to talk about what he "really does for a living" (ie, surgery) quite yet. We'll talk again in November once we see what this brace does.
Bicentenario Primer Grito de Independencia
SAN SALVADOR, ESCENARIO DE LA INSURRECCION
Del 3 de noviembre de 2011 al 29 de enero de 2012
San Salvador fue el escenario de la insurrección de 5 de noviembre de 1811, que marcó el inicio del proceso insurgente centroamericano que desembocaría en la independencia política del Reino de Guatemala, con la primera acta de emancipación firmada el 15 de septiembre de 1821, en la Nueva Guatemala de la Asunción, cabecera de Real Audiencia, Gobernación y Capitanía General, sede metropolitana del Arzobispado. Los malestares políticos, sociales y económicos imperantes eran un fiel reflejo de lo que sucedía en el resto de la América española, matizados por las circunstancias propias del istmo, parte integrante de la amplia geografía de la Nueva España, pero autárquico respecto del Virreinato de México.
En la sede de la monarquía universal que eran España y sus reinos y provincias americanas de ultramar, por la invasión en 1808 del emperador francés Napoleón I, el Estado y la Corona habían sucumbido y estaban en su inicio los movimientos autonomistas en el nuevo continente, donde se tenía ya el ejemplo inmediato del norte anglosajón, con los Estados Unidos independizado, así como la rebelión de los esclavos negros en Haití. Las causas disociadoras de la unidad de la Corona española, que ya se habían ido sucediendo a través de los años, y aun de los siglos, estaban brotando violentas y decisivas. Sin embargo, los primeros movimientos de insurrección se habían dado en nombre del rey cautivo, Fernando VII, preso por el emperador Napoleón.
En Suramérica, en las diferentes jurisdicciones y virreinatos brotaron las movimientos de confrontación. Y lo mismo fue en México, donde la violencia de la guerra desatada contra las autoridades virreinales, liderada primero por Miguel Hidalgo, y luego por José María Morelos, se hacía sentir con una mezcla de temor y entusiasmo en la América Central, ya sumida en la expectativa de cómo enfilar sentimientos y actitudes colectivas de los grupos con poder de decisión frente a los sucesos confusos del momento histórico.
Fue en San Salvador donde surgió el primer brote de rebeldía contra los funcionarios reales, con un estallido popular por el descontento ante medidas fiscales e impuestos, así como por las dificultades de la comercialización de su principal producto agroindustrial, la tinta añil, y lo mismo influyeron sectores partidarios de las nuevas ideas europeas filosóficas y políticas Todo lo cual desembocaría en la combativa búsqueda de autonomía y en el posterior proceso independentista, por lo que a este inicial brote insurreccional de San Salvador se le bautizó como Primer Grito de Independencia.
En esta exhibición se muestran imágenes de los espacios urbanos, de la arquitectura, de la vestimenta de la época, etc. las cuales se acompañan de piezas de mobiliario y objetos que permitan reconstruir la imagen de los ambientes en que posiblemente se movieron los personajes de ese momento.
La muestra se enfoca en mostrar aspectos de la ciudad de San Salvador dado que en esta localidad se realizó el levantamiento insurreccional, sin embargo, se muestran imágenes y referencias de otros sitios que permitan conocer diversos aspectos de la vida y costumbres de los habitantes del territorio salvadoreño a principios del siglo XIX.
Se brinda una introducción a los temas antes mencionados por medio de la presentación del contexto relativo a las provincias americanas a finales del período colonial, con énfasis en el aspecto político-geográfico y social.
Se ha puesto especial empeño en la localización de objetos y elementos originales del período en mención, los cuales se mostrarán junto con reproducciones gráficas y reconstrucciones hipotéticas, contando con el apoyo de recursos audiovisuales.
