Práctica de Low Key Para Superstar.

 

Mi padre es un auténtico manitas y siempre está pensando en cosas para hacer en un pequeño terreno que tenemos, pero sin gastar mucho dinero y reciclando todo lo que puede. Hace unos días se pasó por un centro de bricolaje en el que lo conocen bien y le dieron un montón de paneles de mostrarios de baldosas y azulejos que ya no pensaban utilizar y que les estaban molestando en el almacén. Casualidad que, entre ellos, había unos de 60 x 60 increíbles que imitan perfectamente la piedra, el cemento y la madera y a mi padre no le importó que me los llevara. ¡Qué maravilloso es tener un padre así!

 

Mi estudio esta vez fue la habitación de mi hija pues tiene una luz preciosa por la mañana.

Para la foto utilicé las dos piezas más oscuras, una de fondo y otra lateral y lo cubrí con una cartulina oscura con las manos (no tenía otra forma de sujetarla) mientras tomaba las fotos con el disparador.

 

Hice la prueba con y sin botella de leche, porque me daban miedo los brillos del cristal, pero me gusta más con la botella, creo que la complementa muy bien y le da más sentido a la fotografía.

U.S. Route 1

 

L'US 1 commence officiellement sur Whitehead Street à Key West, à l'intersection avec Fleming Street.

L'U.S. Route 1 (aussi appelée U.S. Highway 1, abrégé en US 1) est une route (highway) des États-Unis qui longe toute la côte est du pays. Partant de Key West à l'extrême sud de la Floride, elle remonte jusqu'à la frontière canadienne dans le Maine. Son tracé a été ensuite repris par l'Interstate 95 qui la longe en grande partie, bien qu'elle s'enfonce plus dans les terres entre Jacksonville (Floride) et Petersbourg (Virginie).

 

US 1 officially begins on Whitehead Street in Key West, at the intersection with Fleming Street.

The U.S. Route 1 (also known as U.S. Highway 1, abbreviated as US 1) is a U.S. highway that runs the entire east coast of the country. Starting from Key West in the extreme south of Florida, it goes up to the Canadian border in Maine. Its route was then resumed by Interstate 95 which largely follows it, although it sinks more inland between Jacksonville (Florida) and Petersburg (Virginia).

Today I knew I was going to shoot, but I had no clear concept in mind. I just thought it would be cool to use these keys my mom bought me. I found some artificial lavender too and started thinking what they all could come together and represent. It hit me then -- peace, happiness, and/or serenity. I won't go into much explaining on how they mean that to me though!

Hace tiempo que no bajaba de mi nube para visitar a todas mis amistades de flickr

que durante tantos años compartieron mis travesuras y me han dedicado hermosos comentarios…

es por eso que decidí hacerlo y enviarles unas grandes lamidas a todos y desearles un hermoso fin de semana a todos

 

Gracias por todo el cariño que me han brindado, mamá les envía un fuerte abrazo a todos.

Backlit emerging spring maple leaves and keys are nicely framed by the soft DoF background of shadow and light on the lake at Pine Grove Park near Liverpool. I placed the leaves and keys in the composition according to the vertical rule of thirds which contributes to the impression of a harmonious aesthetic in the image.

First thing I did upon checking in the room was to see what kind of view we had from the balcony. I spent the next 15 minutes watching this big guy climb to the top of the tree.

I've just taken photographs outside of a temple when an old lady stepped to me. She asked me if i wanted to go in, to take more photos. She gave me the keys of the temple and left me there. It's an amazing feeling to be alone in a church.

Key West and a sunset...just like peanut butter and jelly or thunder and lightning...a perfectly paired twosome!!

Such a handsome Key Rooster. It's too bad I couldn't get the whole rooster in frame. He must be used to people because he kept coming closer to me.

Schooner America 2.0 - Key West Harbor

Key West, Florida - Florida Keys - 12/3/20

 

*[left-double-click for a closer-look - magnificent majestic sails]

 

History: Designed and built by Scarano Boat Inc. in Albany, N.Y., the America 2.0 had big shoes to fill. Its 1995 predecessor, the 139-foot America (now berthed in Santa Barbara) won the hearts and minds of many islanders on and off the docks. That ship replicated the original America, a 101-foot sailing vessel that won an 1851 race against 15 yachts of the Royal Yacht Squadron in what would become known forever as the "America's Cup" in honor of that ship. The 1851 original America ended up a blockade-runner for the Confederacy and after the Yankees seized her, became a blockade-buster for the federals. She remained government property until falling victim to a shed collapse in 1945, and with the shed was scrapped and burned. A 170 year history with two replicas built.

 

America 2.0 (105 feet) replaced the 1995 replica schooner America (139 feet). The '95 replica is now berthed in Santa Barbara, California

 

The America 2.0, the Adirondack III, the Western Union, the Appledore and many other tall ships are credited with helping

to keep Key West's maritime traditions alive for years to come

Key deer (odocoileus virginianus clavium), the smallest of all white-tailed deer, is a subspecies of the Virginia white-tailed deer. These deer inhabit Big Pine Key and various surrounding keys. They are not found anywhere else in the world.

  

Due to uncontrolled hunting and habitat destruction, their numbers were estimated less than 50 animals in 1940's. With the establishment of National Key Deer Refuge in 1957 and intensive law enforcement efforts, the population has since increased and has now stabilized. The estimated population is approximately 600 deer on Big Pine Key and No Name Key (this does not include other keys in the deer's range).Highway mortality is the greatest known source of deer loss.

 

The shoulder height of Key deer is between 24-28 inches. Does weigh 45-65 pounds while bucks weigh 55-75 pounds.

  

Rutting season activities begin in September, peaking in early October and decreasing gradually through November and December. Some breeding may occur as late as February. The gestation period is 204 days with fawns born April through June. At birth fawns weigh 2-4 pounds.

 

Antlers are dropped February through March, and re-growth begins almost immediately so that by June, bucks with 2-inch stubs are seen. Antler growth is completed by August, and velvet is rubbed and kicked off in early September.

  

Key deer feed on native plants such as red, black and white mangroves, thatch palm berries and over 150 other species of plants. Key deer can tolerate small amounts of salt in their water and they will also drink brackish water, but fresh water is essential for their survival. They must also have suitable habitat to ensure their future existence.

 

No records exist documenting the origin of the deer in the keys. It is believed the deer migrated to the keys from the mainland many thousands of years ago, across a long land bridge. As the Wisconsin Glacier melted, the sea rose dividing the land bridge into small islands known as the Florida Keys.

 

The earliest mention of Key deer is found in the memoirs of Fontaneda, a shipwrecked Spaniard held captive by the local Indians. Records suggest that the deer were found around Key West and were used for food by residents and ship crews alike. Although early records indicated sporadic wider distribution of Key deer throughout the lower keys, current data indicates they occupy a range from Johnson Keys to Saddlebunch Keys.

Trying the over exposure to blend the sky with the sea to create one backdrop.

The correct exposure with the 10 stop filter would of been 15 sec, but this was exposed at 3 minutes.

Le Sloppy Joe's Bar

 

Le bar préféré d’Hemingway, aujourd’hui envahi par des hordes de touristes. Le Sloppy Joe's était à l'époque situé quelques bâtiments plus loin, au 428 Green Street (aujourd'hui occupé par « Captain Tony's »). Il a depuis déménagé dans la principale artère touristique de la ville, 201 Duval Street. Le patron «Sloppy» Joe Russell inspira plus tard le personnage de Freddy le barman dans Hemingway's To Have and Have Not, publié en 1937. Il a également été mentionné dans le film de 1941, Citizen Kane. Russell était le pilote de bateau d'Hemingway et son compagnon de pêche. Mélange de souvenirs et de babioles des jours de gloire des années 1930 aujourd’hui le bar demeure l'un des établissements les plus populaires de la ville avec notamment le concours de sosies d'Ernest Hemingway organisé chaque année depuis 1981. Il est inscrit au Registre national des lieux historiques depuis 2006.

 

Hemingway's favorite bar, now crowded with hordes of tourists. Sloppy Joe's was located a few buildings further down at 428 Green Street (now occupied by "Captain Tony's"). It has since moved to the city's main tourist artery, 201 Duval Street. Boss "Sloppy" Joe Russell later inspired the character of Freddy the bartender in Hemingway's To Have and Have Not, published in 1937. He was also mentioned in the 1941 film, Citizen Kane. Russell was the Hemingway boat pilot and his fishing companion. A mix of souvenirs and trinkets from the glory days of the 1930s today the bar remains one of the most popular establishments in the city, notably with the Ernest Hemingway lookalike competition organized every year since 1981. It is registered in the National register of historic places since 2006.

Theme : "Keys" - April 29, 2020

 

The term takes on a new meaning for Key Coaches, as they make the best of Lockdown. S5 is the latest bus to be fully repainted, and the sign-writing was added today. Thanks as always to Stevie Forbes for keeping me informed and sending pictures. I must admit I'm missing my tea and biscuits though, I need to visit soon!

My 2023 Key West Slideshow: flic.kr/s/aHBqjB7w4M

A number of years ago, before the mega-flood of '08, there were lots of Bald Eagles at the lake during the winter. The water stayed open through the cold weather, and the eagles fished at will.

 

I took lots of photos -- hundreds -- of these eagles. It was, though, pretty much on the front end of my wildlife photography, the winter sky was gray and unforgiving, and I didn't know my gear all that well. Plus, of course, I lacked the processing skill to salvage marginal images.

 

Some of the eagle shots back there were uploaded, but most have just sat in an old folder. I decided to trot one out, play with it a bit, and see what appeared. Here is a pretty decent high key shot.

 

Sadly, as a result of the flood, the lake freezes over in winter now, and the tall dead trees used for perching have fallen. I seldom get to see and eagle using the lake as a fishing hole now.

An old key to an old casket. The casket it self is wooden and very decorated.
