They look exactly the same except one looks much bigger. Would love some help with i.d. (see next picture for what the front of their face looks like).

Taken early April in the lower blue mountains. There were numerous bees of the same kind as this all hungrily getting as much as they could out of these heath flowers. They were not phased in the least by having a photographer around, so intent were they on their task.

Bench Mondays

Someone left these out on the curb for anyone who wants them.

Rio Grande SD40T-2s No. 5386, 5405, 5342, 5385, and 5400 are ready to cut into an inbound Savage coal train at Helper, Utah on Feb. 15, 1999.

Anyone have any idea who this is? Location Alaska.

N720's helpers prepare to cut away at Sand Patch.

This isn't too good an image but if compared to the one I posted last night it shows how the paint on those GEVO's has faded over the last few years. The old dash 9's look great by way of comparison. Obviously this was soon after the double track on Steelton Hill was completed,

An unfortunate Ichneumon Wasp with an unidentified spider. Last September (2016) I spent three hours or more watching and photographing this battle, taking over more than 100 photos. The wasp gave a good fight trying to break loose but lost in the end. I wanted to help it loose but have learned not to mess with nature. Fortunately the background was light and uncluttered which made it easier to photograph them.

I had some great views of these Owls hunting at dusk. It definitely tested my cameras ISO performance. The Gitzo tripod helped to stabilise my setup and keep the shutter speeds high enough to freeze and movement.

Help me

I think I'm falling

In love again

When I get that crazy feeling

I know I'm in trouble again

I'm in trouble

'Cause you're a rambler and a gambler

And a sweet talking ladies man

And you love your lovin'

But not like you love your freedom

Help me

I think I'm falling

In love too fast

It's got me hoping for the future

And worrying about the past

'Cause I've seen some hot, hot blazes

Come down to smoke and ash

We love our lovin'

But not like we love our freedom

"the help" .... ... yesterday Baby Jesus was born, for those who are Christians this represents an immense act of God's love for his children ... and it is to that God-Man that we often resort to asking for help .... who among us ... has never needed help ...?! .....

I photographed people I had never met before, I thank them for their sympathy and availability: I met Antonio and his girlfriend, who came to Taormina to spend the last day together, the next day Antonio will leave to go very far, unfortunately leaving his beloved, to see her again who knows when ... I met the Japanese companion of my dear friend Cesare, who flew to the sky many years ago, I knew about his companion, but I had never met her before ... I photographed a sweet Chinese girl that I met on three different occasions, each time with a little more confidence….

these are just a few minimal photographic stories, collected walking down the street ... in search of fleeting moments ...

For some photographs I used a particular photographic technique at the time of shooting, which in addition to capturing the surrounding space, also "inserted" a temporal dimension, with photos characterized by being moved (confused-blurred-imprecise-undecided) ... the Anglo-Saxon term that encloses this photographic genre with a single word is "blur", these images were thus made during the shooting phase, deliberately lengthening the exposure times, and not as an effect created later, in retrospect, in the post phase -production.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

"the help"...."l'aiuto" ...ieri è nato Gesù Bambino, per chi è cristiano questo rappresenta un atto d’amore immenso di Dio per i suoi figli...ed è a quel Dio-Uomo che spesso ricorriamo chiedendo aiuto.... chi tra noi...non ha mai avuto bisogno di aiuto...?!.....

ho fotografato persone che non avevo mai incontrato prima, le ringrazio per la loro simpatia e disponibilità: ho incontrato Antonio e la sua ragazza, venuti a Taormina per trascorrere l'ultimo giorno insieme, il giorno successivo Antonio partirà per andare molto lontano, lasciando purtroppo la sua amata, per rivederla poi chissà quando….Ho conosciuto la compagna Giapponese del mio carissimo amico Cesare, volato in cielo tanti anni fa, sapevo di questa sua compagna, ma non l’avevo mai conosciuta prima…Ho fotografato una dolce ragazza Cinese che ho incontrato in tre occasioni diverse, ogni volta con un pizzico di confidenza in più….

sono queste solo alcune storie fotografiche minime, raccolte camminando per la strada ... alla ricerca di attimi fugaci s-fuggenti ...

Ho utilizzato per alcune fotografie una tecnica fotografica particolare al momento dello scatto, che oltre a catturare lo spazio circostante, ha "inserito" anche una dimensione temporale, con foto caratterizzate dall’essere mosse (confuse-sfocate-imprecise-indecise)...il termine anglosassone che racchiude con una sola parola questo genere fotografico è "blur", queste immagni sono state così realizzate in fase di scatto, allungando volutamente i tempi di esposizione, e non come un effetto creato successivamente, a posteriori, in fase di post-produzione.

Even with quite a few people threw sticks and screamed at the blue heron, the little duckling was no saved.

I was working on a dolly picture yesterday, when a little helper appeared on the scene! He is Tofu, my 6-month-old blue point Siamese kitten. Such a pretty boy!! (His sister was somewhere nearby, but she was being good--this time!--and not getting on the table.)

Is this woman drunk or crazy?

Renewal and beauty everywhere you look, it is a cool time.

My wife is setting up for the holidays and we always need help from a little cat. It wasn't long after this shot when Jane made her first climb up the tree. I didn't get a good photo of that because we were not in sync with her misbehaving and my wife scolded the cat before I could focus.

fujipro film- mitch and avan melbourne , we had just helped a lady getting out a disabled person from a van, we looked on as they crossed the road. and bicycle adventures in cities are rad.

SP 8672 drops downgrade between Woodford and Rowen as they head west towards Bakersfield. Soon they will cut in to another heavy train and help them to the Summit in Tehachapi. Never a dull moment while watching trains in the Tehachapi Mountains.

Coal loads head south on the BNSF Angora Sub. This load is operating 2x3 for the rollercoaster profiles that lay ahead.
