Elkhorn Grade in Kern County
California
Beth and I just got home from our Spring Bird and Bloom Tour. We don’t do this every year - it’s been several since we’ve done it - and this year we concentrated on the Carrizo Plain, a remote area in central California. The San Andreas Fault defines the eastern margin of the plain, pushing up the Temblor Mountains like plump lips fifty miles long, tinged with color. Every hundred years or so the fault parts its lips to say a deep rumbling word that shakes all who hear it.
The orange is California Poppy, the yellow is ranunculus and coreopsis, the purple is a species of borage. On close inspection another ten or so wildflower species can be found.
Happy to share locations with any who want to make the journey. It is not a trivial trip - no services at all for miles and miles, biting cold wind and dust that gets into every crevice, dirt roads that turn to quagmire, rocky roads (like this grade) that can break a car, only camping if you want to overnight and a fair number of badly behaved tourists actually stomping out into the flowers, killing those flowers’ only chance to propagate. Also, I cannot say how this year’s bloom will progress - I suspect it might peak in a week or so, but it could also just end early. The experts at the Theodore Payne Foundation feel conditions are not perfect for the full ‘super bloom,’ but they did suggest it would be a ‘special bloom’ this Spring. Special, indeed.
Such a cutie. I cannot get enough of this gorgeous Poppy. Her screening is sublime. And her pigtails are everything

Normally this road is petty non-descript, but with all the signs on it those of us who use it a lot know that soon it will be nice and smooth.

MI.CO Shelby Boho Bikini set beach dress and bikini
In maitreya, venus, physique, isis, Hg, freya. A super cute cover up with an equally great bikini underneath in a relaxed boho style.
A phenomenal line up of Union Pacific locomotives have been serviced and are ready to pull the PVSC train from Provo to Salt Lake City on Jan. 30, 1977. The lash up includes two GP30s, one GP30B, and three SD24Bs. The variety of locomotive types 40 years ago was amazing.

it really was a great clear night, and I've got some examples to post, once I clean them up a little. but this was fun!
my new hyper flashlight I got from HongKong.
this is a thirty second exposure, with a 1 second sweep from the flashlight.
it's 900 lumens, and it's the size of a white board marker. so toy.
A trip to the Goodwood Revival car show with my friend Gareth where there were nylons a'plenty and the shoes to match. One of the advantages of being in a wheelchair means I can spy on hot legs and shoes and get away with it. The low Vantage point helps lol - enjoy
I had a lot of ideas for the music theme today. If I had more time, I would have totally tried getting photographs of as many iPods and MP3 players I could at school, making something with that. Today just simply didn't work out for that idea.
So I settle for this, my iPod and myself dancing by my studio lights. I didn't know Scooter was standing there watching so this one amused me greatly, hence why I decided it HAD to be todays shot despite liking others with neat light leaks.
i found this light projector at Burn2 and it inspired me to put this together. the keytar is made by my amazing friend Trippz

Kicking off the year with a sunrise. A commonly photographed location and the last time i tried for a sunrise shoot here was a year ago and it didn't turn out well. This time round not exactly the shoot i had hoped and planned for but shall make do for now.
Slow down, you move too fast

and ready for sleep
let the morning time
drop all its petals on me
Life I love you

Paul Simon and I wish you a groovy day my friends :)
The Sierra Nevada mountain range of California lay under thick glaciers several times in the past. The last, the Tioga glaciation, likely involved at least two, and perhaps as many as four, major glacial advances spanning the interval from approximately 27,000 to 15,000 years ago. As the massive sheets of ice slowly moved, rocks embedded on the underside of the ice scored lines into the solid stone of the mountains. Glacial striations can still be found; these are on top of a ridge near Frazier Falls.
