Along with the weather disturbances in the Gulf of Mexico, there have been many scattered thunderstorms in my area lately. I found this stately and cheerful Maximillian sunflower on one of my walks last week.
It's a beautiful sunny day today, with a thick migration of Snout butterfiles passing through. The angle of the sun has shifted and the sense that fall is coming can be felt. I'm ready for it!
I've had to change doctors. thanks to my daughter I was able to.
I see my surgeon on wednesday to discuss some gross procedures that need to be done. my daughter will go with me. I canceled my rheumatologist appointments. I'm reverting back to my old pain pills until we can figure out what's going on with me.
I had a rough encounter with two of my dogs racing out to the back field. they were racing i was hobbling. they knocked me out of my sandals and my knee is tweaked again.
all I can do now is sit and wait.

Roadside stands of chile roasters appear late summer/early fall, and people in the know stock their freezers with bags of roasted chile peppers from Hatch, New Mexico or Pueblo, CO. We always get Hatch, it's the best. Buying green chile gets us ready for football and the holidays. 😋
This house has quite a history. Rural Mount, is one of the few surviving limestone structures in East Tennessee. Built in 1799 by Alexander Outlaw as a wedding gift for his daughter, Penelope, and son-in-law, Joseph Hamilton. Both families were civic leaders and early proponents of the creation of the state of Franklin and later Tennessee.
I tried to meet with the owner but he had been injured in a horse riding accident and was not up to company. The house sits on a gorgeous plot of open land. Fortunately the new owners live just by it so it is well guarded and boarded up.
If your interested here is a link to a local newspaper article about the home and shows the house and the new owner.
On a side note I am FINALLY moved in! 27 chickens later, it is a wonderful place and I am totally lucky to be able to live in the country. I hope I can finally dedicated more time to art and my Flickr friends.

I drive by this spot quite a bit. There is usually a big family out tossing a football in the evenings. It made me think about my own very small family that is very disconnected from one another. It made me think how it is so easy to miss something you never even had.

Fall is almost upon us! This is my first shot testing out my Canon M. I ordered an MD adapter so I could use my Minolta 58mm f1.4 on this and it took over a month to get here!?

What is the triangle of photography or trinity of photography?
This is the relationship between ISO, aperture and shutter speed.
In the film era, photographers have to firstly decide on the film to be used or specifically what ISO film you will use for the day of shooting.
This depends on the light, the subject matter and the style you want to have with the pictures.
Then photographers have to make decisions about aperture and shutter speed. This depends on the depth of field and how you would like to scene or action to be captured. And we need to make compromises and balance between the two. Better depth means slower speed and this may lead to unintended blur.
Nowadays we have Auto ISO and we have to decide on the aperture only while minimum shutter speed is also set beforehand. Noise (grain) is well-controlled nowadays with high ISO.
Supposedly all digital photographs should be better than the film ones. Unfortunately the modern pictures are not better than the ones made in 19th century in my eyes. Why is that?
It is only the technical quality has been improved and not the aesthetics!
Happy Friday and weekend!

Another shot taken on 29 August 2013, on my second recent visit to Bow Lake, Icefields Parkway (Highway 93), Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. The turquoise, glacially-fed lake lies at the foot of the mountains, behind the patch of coniferous trees, The Crowfoot Glacier is seen in the centre of the image. Crowfoot Mountain lies at 3050m (10007ft.). The Bow Glacier and Bow Lake Falls lie further round the lake, off to the right of my photo. This is the source of the Bow River that is the main river that runs through Calgary. The river that flooded and devastated so many places in June during our Alberta Flood of the Century.
In the fall, we don't get the magnificent red Maples that you see in Eastern Canada, but I reckon Fireweed does a pretty good job of making sure we still get some vibrant colour with its glorious leaves! They positively glowed!

PS. This photo may not be a good one but the place means a lot.
when we went walking
in the late afternoon
the sweet wind blew colors
across petals
so sweet
as long stems swayed
and high strings
they played
something soft and sweet
it was a waltz i think
and birds they sang
high and sweet
oh they sang
so
sweet
autumn is here!
can you feel it?
a new pendant inspired by fall
and all the excitement it brings.

I often find myself wandering on this street, feeling the lull of nostalgia....and, especially lately, with the sun beginning to recede a bit earlier and that all too familiar slight chill in the air. No matter where I am, this time of the year always fills me with a bit of apprehension and at the same time longing....Autumn is my favorite season by far...yet, I am completely unwilling to give up on the summer yet. Perhaps you have a similar notion?

It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving. But like morning light, it scattered the night, and made the day worth living."

The weather was cooling so fast after the rain in these two days.
It is like summer is moving away in Vancouver. We will miss the summer of 2011!
This was taken in Kitsilano Beach last sunny weekend with in camera B&W (I forgot to switch back to color mode after infrared shooting).
Happy Sunday!
I rarely try "gimmicks", but I visit another photography site where the contest of the week is currently "sandwich bag" photography. So I gave it a try. Basically, you cut open the end of a sandwich baggie, fit the bag over the lens of your camera so that the ends flutter just beyond the lens, and snap away. It was a fun experiment, but you look a little goofy running around with a plastic bag over your lens. Ah, well, we must sometimes sacrifice for our "art"...... ;)
Teilhard wrote, “There is much less difference than people think between research and adoration.” 1 His sense of adoration was not about worshipping what is outside us. It was more a search for the truth about the universe. In his scientific research projects, Teilhard felt the same sense of adoration as in prayer. He was also swept up in work and prayer by a sense of awe, what he referred to as a dark adoration because its object remains ever hidden, ungraspable and ineffable. We recall this passage in Exodus, so descriptive of mystical experience: “The people stood at a distance, while Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was” (Exod 20: 21).
