Rain
Water is the Essence of Life. No living thing can survive very long without it. It is incredibly old. We have the same rain as the ancients did and before their existence. It signifies the power to purify, to give deliverance, and it can also destroy evil and enemies in flood as in the Biblical stories. It is awesome as it is kind. It is benign, it is malignant, for we live or die without it. What a miraculous thing it is, it can engulf you but you cannot hold it in the palm of your hand. It can scold you, it can freeze you, it can inspire and frighten in the very next breath. I will always respect it in its many forms.
These are just a few images of rain observed ……….
Also known as a Grizzly. This healthy boar was seen and admired in the Tetons with good friends Debbie Tubridy, Jen Hall and Rodney Lange.
"Meriwether Lewis and William Clark first described it as grisley, which could be interpreted as either "grizzly" (i.e., "grizzled"—that is, with golden and grey tips of the hair) or "grisly" ("fear-inspiring", now usually "gruesome"). The modern spelling supposes the former meaning; even so, naturalist George Ord formally classified it in 1815 as U. horribilis, not for its hair, but for its character.
Occasionally a huge male grizzly has been recorded, whose size greatly exceeds ordinary, with weights reported up to 680 kg (1,500 lb). A large coastal male of this size may stand up to 3 metres (9.8 ft) tall on its hind legs and be up to 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) at the shoulder.
A grizzly bear can also be identified by its rump, which is lower than its shoulders; a black bear's rump is higher than its shoulders. A grizzly bear's front claws measure about 2–4 inches in length; a black bear's claws measure about 1–2 inches in length." Wikipedia
Was a treat to safely enjoy the scavenging, digging and hunting for more food before his time to hibernate.
Have a wonderful weekend!

I went to the flea market this past weekend and found 3 vintage lenses for an old Pentax camera. I already had the adaptors to connect these types of lenses to my Nikon. What a steal! This is the Tamron 28mm F/2.5 lens. It is a little gem thus far. :)
PS. I have had this Kazoo forever and was never inspired to use it for a photo. Thanks Macro Monday for inspiring me to do so! :)
I wish peace, love and serenity for all in 2019.
Thank you for every fav, comment and support you have given - and also for the wonderful and inspiring photography that you have so generously shared.
…and here are another 2 images taken during Inspire’s maiden flight over Lake Hume this past weekend.
As with the previous image my focus was on flying so I had dialed in my exposure settings before take off and then simply controlled the camera for the compositions.
I was at odds with an image that clearly shows my 4WD parked in the scene but as these are my first set of images I’m ok with having a little fun.

Happy Christmas to all my Flickr friends and followers. Another year has gone by with some wonderful photographs by you all. Photographs to inspire, educate and admire! I enjoy Flickr so much for the supportive comments for each other. (I’ve never seen an unkind comment so unlike other social media sites) and there are no adverts!
Have a peaceful, restorative Christmas and stay happy and healthy!

When Fermilab’s founding director, Robert Wilson, imagined an ideal laboratory, he wanted it to be architecturally impressive and artistically inspiring. With this in mind, he installed remarkable sculptures and designed buildings in influenced by culture, history, and physics.
Acqua Alle Funi, 1978
On the reflecting pond across from the entrance of Wilson Hall, there is a hyperbolic obelisk designed by Wilson. The name “Acqua Alle Funi” is an Italian phrase meaning “water to the ropes,” which refers to a story about an Egyptian obelisk ordered by Pope Sixtus V - considered to be a symbolic act, illustrating the triumph of Christianity over Paganism raised in St. Peter’s Square in the 16th century.
After viewing a multitude of photos of the sculpture in the enormous pond at the front entrance of Fermilab I did not see one which was a direct straight on shot. - and direct straight on image structuring is a taboo in photographic composition.
Hello ! - It's your camera and your moment so straight ahead it is!
By it's contours and it's exact center placement I believe this would be the way the designer wanted it to be best appreciated.
Oddly enough I can recall how frigid and windy it was out on the open prairie of the Fermilab compound that afternoon.
A break in the relentless rain presented the perfect opportunity to explore Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge, a vast sanctuary of 10,819 acres situated approximately 70 miles north of Sacramento, California. This haven for wildlife encompasses a diverse array of habitats, including wetlands, grasslands, and riparian areas. We were captivated by the abundance of bird species, but none compared to the thrill of spotting a magnificent Bald Eagle resting on a towering tree. The eagle's majestic appearance, with its stark contrast of white head and tail against its dark brown body and wings, and its bright yellow legs and bill, was truly awe-inspiring.
The dudes down the way made smoke with their tyres. The broouuummmm sounds filled the valley and then so did the haze as it filtered quickly upward caught in an updraft. This cloud reminded me of this as it slowly morphed from dolphin to burlesque skeleton.
With much love and affection I prepared a gift for you, a pose for family in our group gift, Come and visit our store.
