Hesperia, CA - I was THAT guy who took his camera almost everywhere like a sidekick. It often annoyed my friends and confused the local wildlife but I did it regardless. Then for a few years I put the camera down, didn't take very many pictures and after awhile my friends asked 'Where's the camera?"
So, the camera that annoyed them was what they looked forward to? Yes. If you are that person that takes pictures of everything and almost anything? Keep doing it, one of these days someone down the road will appreciate you 'annoying' all those friends and family.
Between pheras!

I interrupted this Rainbow Lorikeet before it could have an early morning drink. At least I did in fact supply some nice clean water;so that was a start :-) . Prefer this angle with the bird turned towards me and it's shot from the bird's level as I'd been sitting down taking pictures of a galah on our lawn at the time.
As I was walking along the road, this butterfly landed right in front of me. How rude!!
OK fine!! I took his picture.
The worker rode his bicycle to this bench to enjoy his lunch, but the ducks wanted him to share, and were not shy in asking! Persistent and intimidating, this poor fellow chose to move to another location to finish his meal!
A clear glass vase in front of a stained glass window of the parish church at Waterfall, Staffordshire
I remember coming across this partially demolished storefront and actually bothering to set up my tripod for this shot (October '05). Then I forgot about it until I just now found the file again.
The only thing I've done is a bit of contrast adjustment.
St Mary's, Wellingborough is the masterpiece of Sir Ninian Comper built between 1908-1930, a no expense spared exercise in ecclesiastical sumptuousness.
Located to the east of the town centre, this grand edifice appears impressive externally, an essay in Neo-Perpendicular in deeply coloured ironstone with lighter dressings, but doesn't fully prepare one for the richness within.
Stepping into this church for the first time is an unforgettable experience, The structure itself echoes late medieval forms but the details take it a step further, most noticeably in the gorgeous vaulted ceiling that extends the full length of the building and is a riot of ornament in its snowflake-like bosses. Comper's original intention was to have the entire ceiling coloured and gilded, the eastern half adorned with blue whilst the western half would have been a more restrained gold on white, but in the end only the bay over the choir screen and those at either end of the church received their coloured treatment and give a hint of what the full effect might have been.
The eye is drawn down the nave to the richly gilded rood screen above which is the Crucifixion group and a strikingly youthful Christ in Majesty (Comper often favoured using the image of a beardless Christ) surrounded by a radiance suspended from the ceiling. Beyond this screen the chancel is an enclosed area surrounded by further screens and features a similarly ornate gilded baldachino over the high altar (which interrupts the view of Comper's glass in the east window, but its design allows for this).
There are further chapels flanking the east end, that on the north side being the richer space and the burial place of Comper's wife. On the south side is the much simpler space used as a day chapel finished mainly in white.
The church is furnished throughout with elaborate fittings and furnishings all to Comper's design (the font was completed by his son). This includes the stained glass, though it is used sparingly here in the main east windows and side chapel with just one memorial window in the nave (presumably a full scheme was envisaged by Comper but never realised).
St Mary's is normally kept locked and may require a prior arrangements to get inside: Two keyholders are listed in the courtyard next to the church, but one was out when I called and the other just about to leave and thus reluctant to part with the key. In the end I resorted to calling the churchwarden for help and she very kindly appeared at short notice and opened the church for me. She was delightful company and her time and clear enthusiasm for the church were hugely appreciated.
I had a bubble bath by candlelight this evening. It was relaxing. Until the little man stumbled in to take a whizz, that is.
Some day I'll have my very own bathroom.
For Dogwood week 6, alternating rhythm. The irregular natural pattern of the orange-brown water alternates with the even rigidness of the blue-gray bars.

My Son HaiQal playing with Doraemon, one of Japanese favorite Cartoon.
You can learn about The Tone from My eBook but you need to experiment with the texture yourself, I'm in the process of making an eBook about playing with Textures.
In my home landscaping. Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana.
A few times when I was trying to photograph the pileated woodpeckers or the barred owls, I'd see a plant that I wanted to try to photograph. Rather than switch to the macro lens setup that I usually use to take flower photos, I'd keep my long lens setup (300mm + 1.4x extender) on the camera and use it. The results were often better than I expected.
"when i was supposed to be awake, i was asleep; when i was supposed to speak, i was silent; when a pleasure offered itself to me, i avoided it. my hunger, my thirst, my loneliness and boredom and fear were all weapons aimed at my enemy, the world."
The Story Behind The Photo:
It was the summer of 1982.
The grim spectre of Bankruptcy was closing in fast.
My credit cards were almost totally maxed out
and with the remaining credit on my last card
I bought a low cost particle board ping pong table,
and put it in the driveway behind the house.
I knew it wouldn't last any more than a year
if it was going to be stored outside,
but that was all I could get with the plastic I had.
Joey, Vince, and Ray were all worthy players,
and the summer went by quickly.
We were playing some extreme good pong,
in perfectly clear weather, never expecting rain...
We went inside for water, and when we came out,
this is exactly what we saw!
It was just one of those "Kodak moments".
Drove up on these two lions having a date and soaking up the heat of the day from the road at sunset. She didn't like me interrupting her romantic conversation.
An old recliner sitting in the empty living room of a derelict house in Marietta Ohio. Finding the shoes like this is a bit bizarre as it looks as though whoever owned them got up and left in a hurry.
I'm not sure why this image turned out so grainy as the others are nothing like this particular one. Perhaps I did disturb something?
Interrupted fern (Osmunda claytoniana) gets its common name from the brown fertile leaflets, which "interrupt" the green sterile leaflets on the larger fronds.
The ferns in this photo were transplanted from our woods. Growing to a height of about 4 ft (1.3 meters) this native fern works well as a back drop for white and pink bleeding-hearts in a garden bed at Distant Hill Gardens.
The piercing stare of this young girl makes the photographer's intrusion on the scene all the more obvious. The group is praying at St Columcille's Well in Dublin.

Mother Great Horned Owl feeds her owlets, but is interrupted by a photographer getting too close to the nest. I was standing back over a hundred feet with my telephoto, but a couple people were pushing their luck (and mom's patience).
__________________________________________
(NOTE: map location is not accurate due to the sensitivity of this nest site)
A mated pair of Great Horned Owls (Bubo virginianus) have used this broken cactus (it's missing its center column) as a nest site for at least the last eight years. Our great horned owls are one of the earliest birds to nest-- beginning around mid-late February with owlets hatching around mid-late March or the first week of April. The female will sit on her eggs for approximately 30-35 days before they hatch; during this time, the male will bring food for her.
From the Cornell Lab of Ornithology:
"With its long, earlike tufts, intimidating yellow-eyed stare, and deep hooting voice, the Great Horned Owl is the quintessential owl of storybooks. This powerful predator can take down birds and mammals even larger than itself, but it also dines on daintier fare such as tiny scorpions, mice, and frogs. It’s one of the most common owls in North America, equally at home in deserts, wetlands, forests, grasslands, backyards, cities, and almost any other semi-open habitat between the Arctic and the tropics."
Forsaken little church with roots going back to the 13th century. It has been closed for the public since its desecration. Some archeological excavations took place, revealing the sacred tombs of holy saints and priests. Measuring the height of the pigeons feces that excavation must have been decades ago.
While taking a piss outside I stumbled onto a couple of human thigh bones.
Sorry for interrupting. May you rest in peace, brother.
