There are so many flowers in the spring, it's hard to walk anywhere without stopping to take photos.

This is a Google bike. Google is such a massive place that they need bike's to get around. There are a number of sites that Google have. It would not be possible to walk to them. Google bike's are in
Google color's, of course.
The fun part is when you are at the lake (Shoreline), or some place else and see a Google bike, and someone off having fun, instead of working.

Building's on Barrow St., Grand Canal Dock, Dublin. The taller building on the right is Google's European Headquarters.They also have offices to the rear of the buildings in the shot, employing about 3,000 people in total. I had the occasion to visit this building recently, but unfortunately didn't have my camera at the time, as it affords great views out over the city.

I appreciate what Google Assistant has done to my photo. It presented me a saturated photo with more clarity on the top. However, I still prefer my original more natural looking photo.
In this photo, Paloma Rubio of Northrop Grumman is installing flight thermal blankets on the structure that supports the James Webb Space Telescope's secondary mirror in a clean room at Northrop Grumman, Redondo Beach, California. The strings, which are shown hanging down in this image, are called lacing cords, and they are used to tie the blankets to the struts. Why are the blankets tied on with lacing cords? Tying the blankets on allows them to be securely attached, while allowing enough room for them to shrink and move as Webb goes through the movements and temperature changes that will occur during its trip from Earth to its home in space, a million miles away. This technique also makes certain that the blankets are secure without using exposed adhesive for attaching the blankets. It’s cleaner for the telescope optics to not use a sticky adhesive nearby their pristine surfaces.
Because the blankets are tied (and also sewn on), team members working on the thermal blankets are one of the most unique groups of people working on Webb. They often have backgrounds that have included tailoring and costume making, prior to work in the aerospace industry.

Update: Here's a brief description of my Geotagging (Embedding the Geographical information to the photo) process.
1. I have a small portable GPS Data Logger (Globalsat DG-100) in my camera bag at all times. A GPS Data Logger is a relatively cheap device, and it doesn't have an LCD screen or any real time MAP features, but what this device does is when activated it records my location on an interval time. It has three customizable time settings, for example when I'm riding my bicycle I set it to every 30 seconds. The device can run for many hours, even days, logging my whole trip in every 30 seconds. The GPS Data Logger records the location based on the local satellite time.
2. This step is very important. You have to set your camera's time and date carefully. What I do, which seems to work fine, is to set my camera to the time on www.timeanddate.com on local time. Just search for the city you're in and set your camera's time to that.
3. When I get to a computer I download the logged GPS info and export a GPX or KMV file. These files can be used in any application that supports GPS, such as Google Earth. You can see your whole trip in Google Earth by opening these files. To dowload the log files from the device I use the software that comes with it, but other devices like Sony's (see below) are easier to work with.
4. Time to attach the GPS information to photos. I use a software called RoboGeo which is great. You open a bunch of images, and then you open the GPS log file (from step 3) and RoboGeo automatically matches the time your photo is taken to the GPS log file and can stamp the file with the GPS info. So the GPS information is embedded to the image file's EXIF info without changing anything else.
The only complaint I have about RoboGeo is that it doesn't support RAW files. It does however support TIF and JPG files, so I Geotag my 16bit TIF converted photos or the final web ready JPG files. When you upload the Geotagged JPG files to flickr, they automatically show up on the map. Very cool indeed!
4a. RoboGeo is poweful application, and one the fun things you can do with it is exporting a KMV file with embedded images, so you see your photos show on Google Earth and other application and website (like www.gpsvisualizer.com)
Here's our trip when the photo above was taken.
Resources: There are other GPS Loggers out there too, like Sony's GPS-CS1. Here's a great comparison and review of the two products.

As some of you know I received an early invite to test out and participate in Google's latest entry into the social networking world Google+. I did an early comparison piece between Google+, Facebook, Flickr, 500px and Twitter the week before last. I wanted to write and update my thoughts on Google+ for photo sharing now that I've gotten a few weeks under my belt, as well as share with you all my own strategy for sharing photographs going forward.
Google+ completely changes the photo sharing game. Not just a little bit -- alot. This may be the most significant shift in photo sharing that we've seen since the introduction of Flickr. There is more engagement going on with photographs on G+, more ways to share photographs on G+, and it is growing at a rate that blows my mind away. Photos are elegantly presented as large oversized thumbnails in stream views (in contrast to Facebook's stingy microscopic photo thumbnails that I've never quite understood). When you click through the photo you get the most elegant lightbox view (on black) of any photo sharing site out there today.
Here are some tips for those of you who would like to maximize your photo sharing potential on Google+
1. Post your photos directly to Google+. This is probably the number one most important thing to do to promote your work there. If you post a link to Flickr, a link to your blog, a link to some other site, you get a small little thumbnail at best. If you upload your photo *directly* to Google+ you get a massive oversized thumbnail (is that like saying jumbo shrimp?). The larger your work is presented, the more likely it is to be engaged with. Even better, photos posted to G+ don't count towards your Picasa storage limits so Google is effectively giving you unlimited photo sharing on G+ for free. What a deal.
2. Get the balance right. You don't want to post too little or too much to G+. Your photos posted to G+ have a limited life. In the first hour that you post your photo it will receive 50% of the attention. In the next 3 hours 25% more, in the next 6 hours 10% more. In the next 24 hours 12% more. After a day and a half your photo will likely be buried. So it's important to regularly be adding photos to your stream. On the other hand, if you inundate people with too many photos (like 10 in a row within 10 minutes) people will drop you faster than a hot potato and you will lose visibility -- there's a fine line between sharing photos and whoring photos. Find a rate for uploads that feels right. At present I'm uploading about 5 photos a day to G+ spread out throughout the day and night. This feels about right to me.
3. Share your best work. Don't upload *everything* you take to G+. If you want to archive all your work use Flickr or Picasa. Save G+ to showcase some of what you feel is your strongest work. This will encourage other people to share your work and promote it more.
4. Don't use watermarks and signatures on your work. Don't hate me for this one. I'm so tired of haters. If you want to watermark the crap out of your work, go for it. It's your work, do WHATEVER you want with it. YOU own it. It's YOURS. Don't shoot the messenger. I'm just saying that watermarks, sigs, logos, etc. look *especially* bad when people pull up your photos in the large lightbox view. I've noticed that photos that are mared up by watermarks tend to not do as well on G+.
5. Make sure you understand sharing and make your posts *public*. Alot of people make the mistake early on of only sharing their photos with their circles without even realizing that they are limiting themselves. This means that your photo goes out to *alot* less people. This would be the same as marking a photo as private on flickr so that only your friends and family could see it. These photos will get alot less attention because most people *can't* see it due to Google's privacy settings. When people first start using G+ if they are browsing in a circle of their contacts and they share a photo from that screen, it limits the photo to only that circle. If you want your photo to be seen, make sure when you post it that it says "public" when you are sharing it.
6. Invite people from your other social networks. Post on your Facebook Wall about your Google+ stream. Offer to send invitations to your contacts there. Tweet links out to your G+ stream. Post it on your blog or tumblr account. Most importantly, post to FLICKR your Google+ stream so that your photo sharing contacts on Flickr can add you on G+. There is no easy way to transfer flickr contacts to G+ other than by word of mouth. It's up to you to get the word out to your other photo sharing channels and get them to follow you on your new G+ account.
7. Engage with people who engage with you. Pay attention to the +1's (fave/like) your photos receive. Pay attention to the comments. Go check out the people that are faving and commenting on your stuff. Social networks are largely about reciprocation. If they are a talented photographer consider adding them to a circle. If you like some of their work fave and comment on it too. Don't just post your own stuff. Engage with the community there.
8. Try some hangouts with other photographers. I've hosted a few hangouts so far. It was great hanging out with Scott Jarvie who is one of the top wedding photographers out there. Trey Ratcliff seems to always be hosting them. Popular ones will fill up quickly (hangouts are video chats limited to 10 people) -- but keep trying to get in those or maybe even set up one of your own. Don't be shy on a hangout. Talk about photography. This is a great opportunity for you to virtually network with some other great photographers. It's easy. Drop in, drop out. Make sure you've got your clothes on though, this is not Chatroulette.
9. Write good titles and descriptions for your photos. If you enter a description in for a photo in Lightroom or whatever other photo processing tool you use and write it as the photo's caption, it will automatically populate into Google+ when you upload it. You'll still need to manually add a title or headline. Make your titles interesting and engaging. Don't upload something as DSC10989. Give it a good strong title. Don't overkill on the caption, but a nice one or two sentence caption can be nice.
10. Be early. Don't wait to get involved with G+. Get yourself an invite and signup NOW. Photo Sharing on G+ feels alot like the earliest days of Flickr. It's the early frontier. Many of Flickr's most popular users are popular because they got on the site EARLY and built a following before there was as much competition. Right now there is a huge brand new audience, HUNGRY for great photography on G+. It is early still and people are figuring out who to follow. Get involved and super active early to help build your own audience there. If you wait six months, or six weeks, or heck, six days as fast as Google+ is growing, you'll miss out on some of the strongest, fastest early growth.
Bonus Tip: check out who your other photographer friends have added to *their* circles. You will likely find alot of people you know to add by doing this.
One final note. I've been asked by TONS of people about what the Google TOS means for photographers. There is a lot of FUD flying around out there about that now. As a policy I no longer comment about anything copyright related, so please don't ask about that here or on G+. I won't answer any questions about it. I will point you to an insightful post on the topic though written last night by Vincent Mo (who works for Google) on the matter.
If you don't have an invite to Google+ yet and want one, either email me tom(at)thomashawk.com or flickrmail me your email address and I will try and invite you. I'm doing the best I can to keep up with the invite requests, so bear with me if it takes some time to get it out to you.
Also if you are already on Google+ and want to follow my work there you can do that here.
