a large towering tree in the neighborhood I grew up in seems to define my insignificance and need of strength as it still stands here years later.
photograph I acquired from a large archive of negatives from a San Francisco Bay based commercial photographer taken mostly in the 1960s to 1970s.
ODC = Fences
Neither Kay or myself has any interest in the black Friday shopping crowds so it is our tradition to take our cameras and go as far away from all that as we can get and shop for photos:) Imagine our delight when we pulled over and walked to the beach to take photos and happened upon this fence of found flip flops proving once again to ourselves if you get out of the car and walk you never know what you will see that you would have otherwise driven right past.....this find is priceless!
O.k. stoked to find a drain even if its not that big and had to try the wheel thing. so much fun, hope i'm not style biting to hard. See a true master at this sort of thing here www.flickr.com/photos/twincitiesbrightest/

----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

The bluebirds were present daily in our yard since back in January. We went on a trip for a week and they were gone when we returned. Disappointing! We were hoping for a nesting pair.
Foundation Park, Mount Vernon, Ohio. The park is on the site of an old glassworks, this is part of an art installation using scrap from the original site.
Back from our trip up North and boy did we find some color!!
Our original destination was Superior Wisconsin to check out Wisconsin's highest waterfall and though it was pretty, there wasn't much in the way of trails so we headed North. We ended up about 50 miles from the Canadian border! LOL! I tend to wander off the itinerary!
This was one of the favorite parks we found along the way. Gooseberry Falls in Minnesota. The colors were stunning and there were lots of hiking trails. The Baptism River wound it's way through the park with many cascade areas and of coarse the waterfall! f you follow it to it's end (we did) it flows into Lake Superior. The standing water at the rivers end was a great place to see waterfowl.
There are parks all along Lake Superior and I would like to take another trip up here and explore some more of them. We only saw 5! LOL!
Found this in the doorway of an old ,unidentified ,abandoned club in downtown Monroe,Louisiana. 7.5.2013.
Glad there not gone and so much to pick from

Young men marching, helmets shining in the sun,
polished as precise like the brain behind the gun
(should be!) they got me thinking about eternity
some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me

Pictures from a found film!
I got a green coloured roll of Kodak Tri-X 120. This film was produced in the late '80's and early '90's of the previous century. I used semi-stand development with Rodinal 1:100 (inversions first 30 seconds, 2 inversions halfway, total 60 minutes).
There were ten negatives size 6x7. Someone traveled to Turkey to photograph steam locomotives with an expensive camera. Cameras that shot in format 6x7 were expensive back then. Examples are Mamiya 7, Mamiya RZ67/RB67, Pentax 67 etc.
SO WHY WOULD SOMEONE GO TO TURKEY TO PHOTOGRAPH STEAM LOCOMOTIVES WITH CLEARLY AN EXPENSIVE CAMERA AND NOT DEVELOP THE FILM? I just wonder….
This locomotive, nr. 46052, was built in Germany in 1937 and was used in Turkey till the late '80's and maybe the early '90's. Weight is about 104 tons. 1900HP.
went searching for the jays today and found all three, this was my first day to go looking for them, it was not the best day but had to make do with the light that was available.....blue jay. So cute to see them search knowing where they have stored their food
Found a cracking little private wood close to home. While I was there I think I got the best conditions Ive had in ages too.

I am still amazed at how these just appear when you go looking for them. This one is from last year - different crop than before.

After a week when temperatures across the UK have hovered above a sweltering 30C/85F, I found myself longing for the chill and fog of early spring, and revisited a shot which I captured at the centre of Richmond Park in early April. On many mornings I'd hoped for calm conditions that would bring heavier fog, and before this particular sunrise the low wind speed and near-freezing temperature near the Pen Ponds created fog so dense that, for a couple of hours, visibility dropped to about 20 metres. As the sun finally crept above the woodland and created various shades of orange and pink on the horizon, I came across the bare branches of an oak tree, and next to it the remains of a broken tree trunk, part of which now lay on the ground. Something about this scene captivated me, so I stopped to capture it.
The image is a blend of seven bracketed exposures, and proved to be a fun editing project because of the contrast between intense foggy light around the sun and deep shadows covering the trees and foreground. I began by blending my exposures using luminosity masks, bringing up visibility of the tree trunks while toning down brightness around the sun. I then refined my own masks in order to select and intensify the fog in the background. This was achieved by duplicating the blue channel in the Channels Panel and using a Levels adjustment to increase the channel's contrast between Darks and Midtones, effectively removing the trees and grass from the selection. After extracting the highlights around the sun using a selection from my Brights luminosity masks, I was left with a selection of just the foggy background, where I blended in my brightest exposures using a combination of linear and reflective gradient masks.
Colour-grading the image was very straightforward, as the mixture of early-morning blues across the landscape and intense warm tones in the sky only needed a little emphasis. Using Colour Balance adjustments with Apply Image as a layer mask, I gave the midtones and shadows a colder finish, and targeted the brighter area around the sun to increase the reds and magentas in the highlights. Setting two low-opacity Colour Lookup adjustments to Soft Light, I then used the Foggy Night preset for the foreground and the Soft Warming preset for the sky.
Using Nik's Colour Efex Pro, I brought out a little of the tree trunks' texture using the Detail Extractor filter, and at the same time softened the detail in the sky using the Sunlight filter, which helped to bring out the hazy glow across the scene when I'd captured it. While I thought that viewers' eyes would gravitate to the sun emerging between the tree's branches, the tree and the trunks among the fog were what drew me to the scene, and I felt it was important to try to emphasise their weathered texture and, ultimately, their "character". There was something hopeful about the colour spreading across the horizon as the sun rose, but at the same time something poignant about a scene that seemed to tell a story of nature's brutality and illustrate how certain things, once broken, can't easily be healed or repaired.

This Eagle on Sunday morning sat on a different branch than normal. I tried getting different angle with him and found where just his head was visible behind a bunch of sunlit green leaves.

Izzy: "I-za found the missing piece of wuzzle."
Me: "Er Izzy, I think I found it."
Izzy: "Well I-za helped too."
Me: "You were in the garden."
Izzy: "But I-za did help.
Me: You did, as you'd managed to leave it under all your home made toys with the blue sky showing, so I could see it better. So well done Izzy."
Izzy: "That's OK Mum."

found some rock stacks at the narrows of the Virgin river at Zion National Park in Utah. although individually beautiful, as this photo hopefully proves, they disturbed the natural landscape. I hope this doesn't encourage people to build these man-made structures in preserved natural settings.
Found this beautiful place in Crescent City, Fl. There are signs posted to keep out because of dangerous pesticides. So sad because it is such a lovely old home. I have passed by it over the last several years and it has always looked empty. Guess the pesticides never go away.
