So I wanted repost a variation of this image because I recently entered 5 images into a local, juried art show. I didn't expect much and I steeled myself for being totally turned away, but I got one image into this show. I'm pretty excited as this is the first time any of my work will be shown in this sort of situation.
We all display our images here on Flickr and we all look it over and fav each others work or just pass on by it, but really I now feel like that we should spend just a moment longer on each others pieces of art because they really do deserve it! Its hard to do this well and there are so many deserving works out here.
I would say that we should all take a chance and try entering a show or two.
I'm pretty proud of this small achievement. And I'll let you all know what happens with it at the show, which is a month long starting on March 7th, 2025 at 931 Gallery in Denver, CO.
Now I have to print, mat and frame it. Make it real. (edit - It lives! and is printed on some beautiful Baryta, heavy art photo paper that I bought special for this image. Its matted and framed and looks beautiful! So excited!)
Shot using a Konica Hexanon AR 40mm f1.8 lens and a 30mm extension tube. This is an abstract shot of my cat, Coco's eye whiskers.
Post Show Open edit - So last night (3-7-25) was the oping for the show that this image was in. It seemed to get a lot of attention and questions from folks. It was prominently displayed in the gallery between two other B&W images from another photographer and they took up the whole back wall. It was very impressive to see. The night went well, I went and saw three other galleries in the area and talked with so many different photographers. It was just a great experience!

We were expecting some sever weather, so I wanted to grab some shots of the circular flowerbed in the front yard to show off some of the flowers, mostly Iris, blooming. There's a mix of older blooms starting to fade, and new ones just opening up. I was afraid the rain would beat them down but thankfully they made it through, just a bit soggy.
The flowerbed is surrounded by a rock border, most of which our mother collected during her many "rock hunting trips" but over the years some of those Iris have grown outside that border. I think I've got some yardwork to do.
We wanted to share the good news with all of you and what better day than Mother's Day! We just ended our first trimester and baby is due in August! Stay tuned to see if it's a boy or girl and follow along on this journey with us. We are both so excited!
I've been unable to find much documentation about a Black Skimmer's commitment to its mate. From what I have observed, it appears that they are monogamous and very dedicated to each other and their family. In this image, the female is sitting on eggs while her mate stands very close by. When intruders come too close, both the male and female will become agitated and call to warn them off. Keeping a low profile and respectful distance from the ropes is critically important during this stage. Once the eggs have hatched, the male will become very busy hunting for food to feed their young brood. I hope to witness more of this behavior tomorrow morning when I return for a very quick trip to the beach. July 27, 2018
I never expected to actually make an effort to get trackside for a SEPTA Silverliner MU, but here we are.
Well .. my first two published shots with my new to me A9. A very wet and dreary day. Don't expect some sun till Thur!

When you go on a 8 day road trip to capture the fall colors and aspens you would think your best shots are going to be of the aspens, right?!?! Nope. This and another waterfall shot may just be my favorites. I haven't used my neutral density filter in a long time, but this area was perfect. We actually went to go find another waterfall and found this one as well. I wasn't expecting such good water flow after such a dry year. The fall colors also helped add a little more color to the scene.

You might not expect to come upon a castle while visiting Spokane, but that is exactly what you will do if you visit the Spokane County courthouse. Most of us associate such architecture with romantic old castles in Europe, or perhaps something out of the world of Walt Disney or fairy tales. To find such a building in the center of a modern, growing regional hub city such as Spokane is a bit startling.
The courthouse is said to closely resemble two famous 16th century chateaux in the Loire Valley of France, the Chateau de Chambord, built in 1519 and the Chateau d'Azay Le Rideau built in 1516. Many architects through the years have commented on the masterly replica of a 16th century French Renaissance design, its fine lines of style and proportion with regard to the towers and turrets, the sculpture, iron and brickwork which excel in pattern and craftsmanship. Detailed exterior trim such as shell patterns with wreaths and festoons and decorative arches are a few of the outstanding features of its design. The beautiful center tower, now lighted at night, is a masterpiece of detail in itself.

The Swans have returned and are at work on a new family. Mom is sitting on her eggs and if you look over her shoulder, you can see dad through the reeds, close by.
I expected to see lots of ice fishermen on Lake Erie but I was surprised at the number of people out taking a stroll on the ice. I guess we've been shut up in our houses way too long.
Not that I was necessarily expecting more than a light power move, these two CP units hustle back to Thief River Falls after moving a handful of gondolas in maintenance service up to Lake Bronson where CPKC track crews will load them with used ties and other track materials. The train is passing milepost 318 - that is 318 miles from the Shoreham Yard in northeast Minneapolis. I appreciate how the milepost sign is mounted on an old telegraph pole that once carried the code line wires up the old Soo Line. It is one of the few minor pieces of Soo Line evidence that continues to survive.
You never know what to expect when out photographing wildlife. I was sitting in a hide hoping to get some shots of either Buzzards or Red Kites when this little lady stopped by to say hello.
āYou expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you dies each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintry light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen.ā

Something about you shouldn't shoot directly into the sun? Beats me.
KCS GP40-2 #2822 takes the Rosenberg local (UP symbol LRNRNJ-17) east into Tower 26 on UP's Houston Sub Main 1 just north of downtown, heading to PTRA's North Yard. I wasn't sure about shooting after arriving, but I knew I couldn't pass it up once the train revealed itself to be classic KCS power, which I won't pass up at this point.

Astronomers found something they weren't expecting at the heart of the globular cluster NGC 6397: a concentration of smaller black holes lurking there instead of one massive black hole.
Globular clusters are extremely dense stellar systems, which host stars that are closely packed together. These systems are also typically very old ā the globular cluster at the focus of this study, NGC 6397, is almost as old as the universe itself. This cluster resides 7,800 light-years away, making it one of the closest globular clusters to Earth. Due to its very dense nucleus, it is known as a core-collapsed cluster.
At first, astronomers thought the globular cluster hosted an intermediate-mass black hole. These are the long-sought "missing link" between supermassive black holes (many millions of times our Sun's mass) that lie at the cores of galaxies, and stellar-mass black holes (a few times our Sun's mass) that form following the collapse of a single massive star. Their mere existence is hotly debated. Only a few candidates have been identified to date.

I was not expecting to pull a bat out of the water today. This little bat was attacked by seagulls then dropped into the river. While I was looking for something to reach it the bat flipped over and started swimming for the dock. I picked it up, it was pissed, and put in in a bucket until after work. I took it to an abandoned building, in safe spot. It was still pissed when i took it out of the bucket. Seemed to be fine, other than bothered.

Hello, Earth.
Hello, Earth.
With just one hand held up high
I can blot you out,
Out of sight.
Peek-a-boo,
Peek-a-boo, little Earth.
With just my heart and my mind
I can be driving,
Driving home,
And you asleep
On the seat.
I get out of my car,
Step into the night
And look up at the sky.
And there's something bright,
Travelling fast.
Look at it go!
Look at it go!
Hello, Earth.
Hello, Earth.
Watching storms
Start to form
Over America.
Can't do anything.
Just watch them swing
With the wind
Out to sea.
All you sailors,
("Get out of the waves! Get out of the water!")
All life-savers,
("Get out of the waves! Get out of the water!")
All you cruisers,
("Get out of the waves! Get out of the water!")
All you fishermen,
Head for home.
Go to sleep, little Earth.
I was there at the birth,
Out of the cloudburst,
The head of the tempest.
Murderer!
Murderer of calm.
Why did I go?
Why did I go?
*"Tiefer, tiefer.
Irgendwo in der Tiefe
Gibt es ein licht."*
Go to sleep little Earth.
*"Deeper, deeper, somewhere in the deep there is a light"

A little winter sun before the expected rain. One of my favourite locations, haven't been here for a couple of months.
Went to try and photograph the Fellsman an ex-LMS 4-6-0 Royal Scot but had to give up as it was late and it was to dark. Here is something I took in total darkness then played on LR with it.
Although this was taken in January, we are expecting the worst weather for March, in 50years over the weekend... Tie your granny's down and hold on !!!!!
A photo for this week's photo assignment, themed Minimal Colour.
I had pretty much given up trying to find a scene with minimal colour when I happened upon one while out for a walk yesterday. :)

Not a great deal to this one really, an evening stroll along the pier then a little post processing to correct the levels etc.

I half expected to see the stringless ghost of Steve Zodiac climb out of the dusty cockpit of "Snoopy", the forgotten B-58; parked among the Joshuas and creosote on the dry-lake fringe of Edwards AFB, like some crashed sci-fi space ship on a distant planet. About 15 minutes with no added light. August 2014. Still remains one of the most pleasing weekends of shooting I've ever done.
