Finally found a use for my Dark Knight Returns suit. I’ve been searching for a white suit for a Black Mask figure for a while. The mask itself could use some work, but hey, I like how it is
On the way back from our school day i saw this lonely tree standing in the middle of the snow. After getting my camera i went back to this tree and took this wonderful picture.
This catbird has been serenading for years in the same place....near the observation deck. Catbirds seem to like people but on their own terms....always just out of sight. He finally dropped his guard the other day, and I caught him. Sort of...... lol
We are finally seeing some green across the Bay Area. As shown in this photo, the hills over at Mission Peak are vibrant with green. It' s about time to dust off my hiking boots.
Finally got a true 1:1 macro lens after wanting one for several years. I guess I'll put the extension tubes in the storage box. I didn't have much time to tinker with it as it was getting late and rather dark out so I grabbed a quick shot out on the porch. I ended up using a pretty high ISO which didn't help much but it was necessary. Looking forward to trying some true macro in the coming days. Stay tuned.
Finally finished! Red riding hood and the owl are removable.

Finally managed to visit Cinque Terre! I arrived in Riomaggiore already close to sunset, but it was enough time for some photos.
A couple of summers ago -- the day we shot the mermaid -- M asked me to make her into a tree. A few years later...

I am finally, finally free. I'm just where I want to be, alone, a little bit lost, but so full of joy and eager to love and I feel the change starting in me. When I return, I won't be the same. I'll be a little bit grown, a little bit at home, a little bit beautiful, but entirely, adoringly, exuberantly, still, me.
Explored.

Finally able to see and photograph an Eastern Screech-Owl in a natural cavity rather than a nesting box. This particular owl looked to be a red morph but seems to be have both red and gray in its plumage. Observed in Will County, Illinois.
A shot like this of the godwit was on my wishlist for a long time. It took me several trips to finally get this picture of this nice bird.
Finally got round to posting my favourite shot of the year so far. This was the breathtaking view from the upper slopes of Bla Bheinn looking towards Clach Glas (right) and Garbh-bheinn (left) above a quite specatuclar inversion. I had climbed up through thick mist in the hope that there could be an inversion, but I could not have dreamed of such a sight. Even more remarkable was the fact that I had this marvel all to myself. As some will know I had thought my climbing days were over, and to be rewarded with a day like this was very special indeed.
Over the last few years i have been wanting to capture a shot of a purple sandpiper that i am proud of. This morning i got this shot while out shooting with my good photography buddy brad.
We had been sitting on the ice covered rocks of cape spear waiting to see where they had been hanging out, after locating them the sun just began to rise enough for good light and a big wave flushed the flock resulting in some landing near by on the ice.
Spent two dives three years ago unsuccessfully looking for it. On this trip, on the second dive searching for it, my guide finally found it!
Finally in sunshine - the RNAF/NATO A330.MRTT T-054 touching down at Shannon this morning though this time just a touch & go and off to Keflavik-guess the budget for the coffee break is used up ! ! !
May I proudly present: The car I left the LP560-4 for. Believe it or not, this is the FIRST Gallardo Superleggera I have EVER spotted. Wasn't able to get a better picture though, as it came out of nowhere. (Explore #30)
Munich, 30.10.2010
I caught this eagle just as it was getting ready to jump from its perch and snag a fish. The lake has finally thawed and the Bald Eagles are taking advantage.
There were a couple of dozen eagles around the lake and in the trees by the river. It was a joy to see them back in action.
It was an incredible day with plenty of sunshine and temps in the 60's!!
All my girl stuff arrived a few days ago, so I couldn't wait to get my glam on for the first time in ages!
Finally, after 10 years, I got a clear, up-close shot of BGSX 1242, the Strata Corporation's SW1200RS switch locomotive that works the facility in Trail, Minnesota along the old Soo Line Plummer Line now known as the CP Bemidji Subdivision. This unit is otherwise inaccessible found at the end of the Strata spur that leads into the mining facility. Today it is found in Trail outside of the pit, perhaps waiting to be brought to be inspected or worked on. I'm not sure why its in town, but I am happy to get shots of this locomotive.
This was taken during an all day rain and after we'd received nearly 9 inches of rain the week before.
This is called a 'dry run'. When the low areas on the ridge 150 ft above this creek fill up with rain water, it washes down these rocky gullies into the creek.
After working sporadically on this quilt for over a year, I finished it the day after Thanksgiving. Just couldn't decide what I wanted to do with large Japanese Box patchwork squares until I put appliqued Morning Glories with leaves on it. Hand appliqued and machine pieced. Machine quilted 84" x 68". Nov. 2024

Finally saw one of these guys, and close! I saw some other ones like 1/4 mile away or a bit closer in some cases, but I was started to go back to my car and saw this one really close by. I was very careful to not spook it, and was able to get some quick shots before it dove and ended up some hundreds of feet away.
Whew...I finally finished. Just wrapped the last present and put it under the tree. Now I'm headed to the wine cabinet for a bottle of red. Gonna sit back and watch "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Christmas Vacation". Tomorrow is an all day marathon of "Christmas Story". I can't wait.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas
