Pittosporum Shield Bug (Monteithiella humeralis) nymph (left) adult (right)
The nymph is much larger than one I posted on Apr 22 www.flickr.com/photos/108755156@N05/53670406878/in/datepo... . I am thinking this one today may be a 5th instar.
Happy Birthday to one of the most inspiring women I know. Your words have touched deep places in my soul. Your photos inspire me to look for light. Your love for self and family inspire my heart. Thank you for your guidance through this sometimes rough world. You are a blessing.

As the rising sun high steps slowly across a hay field, a deserted dairy barn in the background sits silently and views the round hay bales that are foreign to its experience.
During my last years in high school in the early 1960s, our southwestern Minnesota community was filled with peers who were interested in farming as their fathers had done for years and before that, their grandfathers. But comparatively few went on to farm for the rest of their working days.
There were different reasons for this but the changing farming economy probably the main one as small family farms soon became unable to support a young married couple and their children.
But there were other reasons as well. Our small high school initiated a guidance counselor position in my junior year, a football coach who was unfamiliar with a changing world.
However unwittingly, my father had a built-in career guidance program that consisted of baling heavy bales in the peak of Minnesota's heat and humidity. After my older brothers left the farm and I became the chief hay-rack engineer, I quickly set my sight on doing something other than farming. If only we had round bales back then...

Wow, thanks to Patrick who sent me a link to a proposal where they want to put a version of this statue one inch shorter than the Statue of Liberty on Treasure Island in the San Francisco Bay.

The Tiritiri Matangi Island Lighthouse under our Milky Way.
This lighthouse used to be one of the brightest in the world, with it's light reaching up to 58 nautical miles! Has since been reduced as it was a annoyance to fellow North Shore people, lighting up their bedrooms at night every 15 seconds. She now shines out up to 21 nautical miles to sea.
Old lighthouse in French Brittany on a super stormy morning. I can't believe I was able to get a long exposure with such winds. Barely could stand up but Really Right Stuff tripods are super stable :)

Mother Elephant provides a little guidance to her exuberant and extremely muddy calf. It’s difficult to convey the happiness and contentment Elephants display when they encounter a water hole and mud wallow in a hot, dry area

im tired of trying to be
im tired the lights gone out of me
ive tried the hope doenst come easily
im blind the end i cannot see
graves all around
the spikes in the ground
lower down the infidels
twiddle forks in the lonesome shell
ive tried but no one has seen
ive had to be more than a fiend
the end i finally see
the end i see it bleed
all over me
in eternity
to all that wish to be
so much more than fleas
so much more than disease
so much more than with tease
so much more can you be???
sow your own seed
cry to the sea
buy a magazine
shelve the Vaseline
marry a sultry queen
blur the color scheme
take a one shot look
you cant find it in a book
hear the faint sound
dig it out of the ground
the end is here i see
god damned eternally
Humankind has been finding its way using the night sky since the beginning of recorded history. Mariners, desert dwellers and even animals and insects have all used stars, planets, the moon and sun as a source of guidance to find their way.
Lighthouses offer yet another source of guidance, a warning, to steer clear of dangers including shallow depths, reefs, shorelines and more. Today, with the advent of GPS, our lighthouses no longer serve this once critical purpose but remain standing and operational as monuments to a time past. Their individual architecture and decor are not without purpose, each one lending specific information to sailors passing by.
Standing below Hatteras Lighthouse with my daughter Delia LoSapio taking in the brilliant night sky filled with more stars than one could imagine was the highlight of our trip to the Cape Hatteras National Seashore!

[Experimented with shooting in very dark settings lit only by candles I MEAN MAGIC. <3 Shot in Tennessee with the help of Cassie-boo. Slowwwwly working my way through this backlog of images...]
Taken on a local back road next to a lovely little reservoir hidden in the East `Renfrewshire Countryside.
In January 2020, I brought a couple of friends out to Sugarloaf rock, Western Australia to capture a photograph of them under the night sky.
I wanted the image to be immediately striking. Capturing the viewers eye to the couple looking over a dramatic landscape. However, the early season milky way in australia lends itself drastically different compositions compared to the peak season in the winter which is when I normally shoot.
I usually face towards the south or towards the west when capturing ultra wide panoramas of the milky way. But at this time of the year, I face towards north-east to capture the most interesting parts of the night sky.
I framed the couple under the milky way, looking out towards the rocky landscape and the Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse towards the left of the frame. In the sky, the Milky Way and Large Magellanic Cloud is shine bright and the faint glow of Barnard's Loop becoming visible around Orion.
See you under the stars
