I am a colorful kind of a photographer painter ... but when I get brave and edit for B&W, I always love it! Don't know why I hesitate ... my world just needs all the bright and glorious color I can get me thinks!
Great Egret, second version. Beautiful old Live Oak trees and Spanish Moss hanging all around ... the beauty of Central Florida on display.
It's never good to be "too serious" or to frown too much. It's always good to look at the positive side of things.. The glass half full. No matter what.
This type of thinking ensures a happier life. A better mood. A great attitude. Less depression.
When I start to feel depression or anxiety creeping up, I do my best to push it aside.. and GET SILLY!
Anyone who knows me, knows that I've always been a bit silly once you get to know me. But it's always important to never be too serious.. too sad. Because Life is TOO SHORT.
Smile. Laugh. & GET SILLY!!
In Italia la più alta prevalenza di persone affette da Hiv in Europa occidentale
In occasione della giornata mondiale, l’Università La Sapienza di Roma organizza un convegno, in collaborazione con il Cesvi – associazione umanitaria impegnata da più di dieci anni nel contrasto della malattia in Africa – per informare, soprattutto i giovani, su prevenzione e rischi di trasmissione della malattia, per esempio da madre sieropositiva a neonato. “La trasmissione verticale rappresenta la principale via di contagio dell’Hiv in età pediatrica – sottolinea Giangi Milesi, presidente Cesvi -. Dal 2009 al 2012 il numero di nuove infezioni tra i bambini è diminuito del 40%, grazie ai servizi d’informazione e alla distribuzione di farmaci antiretrovirali”. Tra i temi discussi al convegno della Sapienza anche il rischio attuale connesso all’epidemia nel nostro Paese.
Secondo l’Unaids, infatti, l’Italia, con oltre 1000 decessi l’anno, è il Paese con la più alta prevalenza di persone affette da Hiv in Europa occidentale. Complessivamente, sono circa 140mila gli italiani sieropositivi, il 15-25% dei quali non è al corrente della propria condizione. Gli italiani dimostrano, però, di sapere quanto importante è stata la ricerca in campo farmacologico nella lotta all’Aids. Secondo l’indagine Eurisko, uno su due dichiara che oggi, rispetto al passato, la malattia è più controllabile. A partire dal 2001, infatti, secondo i dati dell’Unaids, i nuovi contagi da Hiv si sono ridotti del 38%. Nel 2013 sono stati quasi 3 milioni e mezzo in meno rispetto al 2001. Anche i decessi sono in calo, circa 1 milione e mezzo nel 2013, un milione in meno rispetto al 2005. Merito di una migliore prevenzione e dei progressi nelle ricerca sulle terapie antiretrovirali.
Circa l’80% dei contagi è attribuibile a rapporti sessuali non protetti, ma solo il 35% dei ragazzi e delle ragazze in Italia usa il preservativo

Day 250. I spent a lot of time trying to get this right today. Did you know water drops have a mind of their own? They do not go where you want them to. In the end I just sprayed down the whole flower until I got a few decent drops to gather where I wanted them on the stem. I'm very pleased with the end result as this was my first time trying water drop refraction on a stem.
I used both of my trusty speedlights again today for this shot.

Getting lost with Soul2Soul. Step into comfort and embrace the warmth of a plush couch and a quilted throw or stare out into the water while curling up with a good book. Either way, I think you will find what you are looking for with this set. The Naturals set comes with the couch and matching area rug. Wooden block endtables for a more rustic look and plenty of art and foilage to surround yourself with.
Pair that set with the Honey Dreams Armchairs and half couch and you have a complete look. The running table makes for an excellent place to let the light bathe your potted plant or let a pie cool in the open breeze.

If you've been on one of my photo tours or read my eBook, you probably remember that I stress "getting low" when shooting landscape shots.
My good friend Buck Shreck heard me say it once or twice and now incorporates the advice in his landscape work when he's not shooting bears. Here he is taking the advice to a whole new level on the Icefields Parkway in Banff National Park.
By the way, Buck and another good friend of mine - Rob Daugherty - are headed on a great photo adventure to Africa starting this weekend. Why don't you drop by their photostreams on Flickr and wish them well:
Just a bit of fun [sound on] as its another Miserable Monday
But please do spare a thought for our poor wildlife who must be suffering with the battering winds and relentless rain

30 years ago today, Mt. St. Helens blew her top, forever changing the NW landscape. This is ash from that initial blast on May 18, 1980. It came from my aunt & uncle's orchards in Yakima, WA.
When you work so hard all the day long
And everything you do seems to go wrong
Just drop by my place on your way home
Let's go get stoned
Two photo's that make you think I used hdr, I can assure you I didn't :-)
