The second part, or, left panel of the diptych relating the ancient Greek myth of Persephone and her descent into Hades for half of the year, which results, according to the story, in the occurrence of Fall and Winter on the surface of the world.
Here Persephone, unseen in the image but directly connected when the two images are seen side by side, is greeted as she descends into Hades.
I had been wanting, at the time these images were taken to take the "pano-sabotage" technique into the realm of faces. These mannequins gave me the raw material to do that.

On one of the hottest days we had this spring, I saw this Great Blue Heron going through some actions attributed to "thermo-regulation".
This series shows how they do this, termed "sunning" by some research.
It was said that they will fan their wings wide open and drop their "shoulders' cupping the wings to accomplish this ... to maintain their body temp and even allow for cooling or other possible benefits. They and many larger birds also will pant, where they open their beak and flutter the throat and neck muscles as shown in the 3rd pic to maximize air flow to help drop their internal temperature.
** Edited for clarity.**
They recognize one another after years and years of separation and greet each other with wild, boisterous joy. There's bellowing and trumpeting, ear flapping and rubbing, with trunks entwined.

A lone paddle boarder greets the sun as it rises at St Cyrus. A quick snap taken from the coastal path on my way to the beach. (It was a beautiful sunrise, but I may have `juiced up' the colour a bit in post-processing, just for my own viewing pleasure!)

This guy came out and moved towards me seemingly to greet me. Notice the muscular legs--they can leap as high as 2 feet in the air to catch prey. In spring, males have this salmon color.
The sight that greeted me when I arrived at Wittenham Clumps on Sunday morning. The first thing that popped into my head was the Talking Heads song "Road to nowhere" which kept me occupied whilst I strode into the mist.
No cable car to reach this one. This hike was a real lung buster, my left lung is still up there I think. 🤔
Looked out the window yesterday and saw fog covering the distant trees, so grabbed my bag and headed to the forest. I had to walk across the top of the South Downs due to fallen trees stopping the buses. It was a tad windy with horizontal rain. But the walk was worth it as I was greeted some wonderful fog and creaking trees. Although did wonder if I was in the wrong place for 40mph winds!
Because this gorgeous cat (Wilson) lives across the street from me, I've had the opportunity to see him interact with numerous passersby. His markings have a beautiful "airbrushed" quality.

Sheyenne River Valley - Barnes County, North Dakota.

The river winds throughout the valley, hugging a few abandoned farmsteads. The North Dakota Fisheries and Wildlife has a few fish hatcheries down here, one being at Baldhill Dam where the river turns into Lake Ashtabula. Many waterfowl protected wetlands as well.
Personally, I love there are many historic or culturally significant sites in this area. Fascinating to research and explore.
Subzero temperatures greet us each morning now, and the trees are heavy with hoar frost. Pastel colors sweep across the sky and reflect from the snow. When Doc Doolittle went out to feed the birds this morning - I spotted this gray jay as he made his way to the feeders. Doc and I had just enjoyed a pancake and sausage breakfast and the left overs were on the menu for the jays. They all fight to be first, because they want the meat - the slower ones end up with pancakes. As the old saying goes; "the early bird catches the worm" - or in this case, "the sausage".

When I arrived at BC Wetlands last Sunday, this guy was waiting on the sign to greet everyone. I think he was really waiting on an opportunity of people dropping some food getting out of their cars, but it was still nice to see him hanging at the entrance. He was also a sign (no pun intended :)) to come, because it was definitely a "seagull day" at the wetlands....as upcoming photos in the days ahead will show.
Happy Wednesday everyone!

This Opossum greeted me today when I got home from shopping.. I think he was going into the garage and I stopped him thankfully! He backed up into the corner here and was not a happy camper that I was taking his photo. He was snarling and hissing at me. He sat there for a long time and finally waddled off into the woods.
Time Machine
Photographs are powerful memory triggers. Certain images are literally like a time machine, propelling mind beyond the usual filters for logic to reach the emotional heart of your brain. This image was a black and white photo I shot on June 4, 1972. With a few commands using Google Gemini, and some work with Photoshop to clean up a few details that came out “wrong,” I found myself standing at this spot again---only with color film in my Yashica 35mm camera.
I was released from active duty in the Army on April 24th, and Wil and I left Sierra Vista, Arizona at noon that day. Freedom! We made the long trip back to Virginia, where our parents and other family members were there to greet us. Together, we had lived in both New Jersey and Arizona as I served my military obligation brought on by the draft. It wasn’t something I sought, but I was a good soldier, and now a veteran. The Vietnam War was winding down, but it had literally torn the country apart. With the draft now being considered again, and hostilities raging in the Middle East and other places, it’s too sad, and too familiar. “The more things change, the more they stay the same” is a classic proverb coined by French writer Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr. It suggests that despite major transformations or apparent progress, the fundamental nature of a situation—or of human behavior—remains constant. The play continues year in, year out, but the actors always change over time. We never really learn from history, so we’re almost in a “Groundhog Day” loop.
This Sunday afternoon, I had just finished a memorable meal with my grandmother, Bessie Yonce. This was a genuine homecoming to the roots of who I was as a young man. I had almost given up photography, but the purchase of the Yashica a few months earlier at the Ft. Huachuca PX brought back the urge to capture the images of railroading on film. I was still shooting mostly black and white film, so when I scanned this negative, the memories of that moment didn’t immediately hit me. Why not try AI to bring it back to the colors that were visible through my viewfinder at that instant? When the first AI image attempt appeared on my screen, I was stunned. It wasn’t perfect, but the minor imperfections didn’t matter. I was at the L&N engine terminal in Loyall again, and they evening light illuminated a stunning Appalachian scene of everything I ever loved about my home. I spent more time correcting and improving the image, but the effect was already riveting.
You’ll just have to forgive me for using digital technology to recreate this image as it might have looked with Kodachrome film. To me, at least, it’s a keeper. We can complain all we want about the “evils” of AI, but in such a limited and personal situation as my old black and white photo in 1972, it’s a winner.
The early sun flashes on the headboard of the highly decorated QJ No. 6911 as she greets the day, travelling majestically across the steppes with what was probably the last regular steam hauled passenger service in the world.
Pictured soon after leaving Chaganhada on the Jitong Line. By year’s end, it was all a memory with diesels having taken over the service.
Using software improvements, this is a re-working of a much earlier now deleted posting.

A few weeks ago, I put a question out inquiring about interest in a Shenandoah National Park Flickr meetup in October. I was thrilled at how many people expressed an interest.
I got some great news today, with the unfortunate side effect of messing up the potential October meetup plans.
My brother is coming home from Iraq!!! I'm not sure what weekend, but it will be one of the last three weekends of October. I need to leave those weekends open, so I can be sure to be there to greet him.
Perhaps another local flickrite might take of the helm of planning? I know I'll still be in the park a lot shooting this fall, I just don't know exactly when.
