It's too late to apologize, it's too late I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late I said it's too late to apologize...
It rained - a lot. At least for Portland. It rained fairly hard all day, only letting up late in the day. I risked my camera to get some shots of these water-resistant birds continuing their activities.
it is said, in our family lore, that we are descended from citizens of every country that claims stubbornness as a trait ~grin~.. but oddly enough, given my name, not switzerland

It has been quite hot and humid again this afternoon which didn't stop Cleo from going outside whereas Tofu and Sethi both preferred to stay indoors. She has always liked summer and warm weather although this summer almost is too much even for Cleo. There is hope for the next few days, though, as they may be slightly cooler.
Found in Funchal, Madeira. Only one house like this in a busy and perfectly non-derelict street. I wondered about it as the foreground looks like scary paving stones. What was the purpose of the building?

I hate being followed up hill. You'll find I stop regularly, apparently to admire the view behind me, whilst trying to steady my heartbeat and catch my breath: trying to make it look like I'm just taking it all in my stride.

But I'm doing the best that I can
This is another from Saturday's visit to the Tualatin River Wildlife Refuge. This was just following the shot I showed a few days ago.
So, has he completely lost it? No, not the driver, me. Well, who refers to oneself in the third person? That may be one indication of losing it. Actually, no to that as well. Now that I have proven to myself that I am capable of using HDR responsibly, I thought I may as well give into the temptation that devil software is throwing at me and apply this process in a manner that results in something completely different. I always wanted to do a minimalist color image without completely giving up on color because I am addicted to it. Quite like the effect “contrast optimizer” has on the bucket loader. That’s why I cropped top and bottom to feature the loader a bit more prominently. The reason the sides are uncropped is because I liked the effect on the fence to the right of the loader and on the faux brick wall to the left of the loader. And no, not to worry, you won’t see too many of these shots going forward. No sense in getting carried away. Less is usually more unless we are dealing with Marzipan which is powerful enough to make me .…
