I know this is a "postcard" Rome photo but this is hommage to the city after all what happened yesterday before the soccer game!

 

You know, we may download them to our computers, we may just leave them on our phones. And the physical print, the end of the process, is the thing for me. I like to hold and look at a beautiful object, and it feels like it completes that circle. Otherwise, the work just feels unfinished to me. If it just exists in the ether, or if it just exists as a cheap work print, it’s not quite there yet. I need to finish the project I began.

You know the drill - warm coat, woolly hat, gloves, wellies, snow shovel and you're working hard to clear the snow from your driveway. That was me this afternoon. I had planned to treat my garden birds to a few live mealworms after my hard work but 'my' Robin wasn't prepared to wait. He flew into my garage and helped himself ... he knows where I keep them!

 

So, I thought it was fitting to post a Robin in the snow. This was taken in my garden a few years ago. The white feathers made him very distinctive but, sadly, last winter was last time I saw him.

 

As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.

Those who know me personally will know I have a little van and like to travel around the UK for my photography. I recently spent some time in Brecon and West Wales for just under two weeks. And I really loved spending time focusing on photography again. Just getting through some of the pictures now and so I have lots of wildlife and landscapes stories to come. :)

 

This Image is from the first night where I walked up Pen Y Fan. I set off at 1am and only reached the peak at 6am as I was too distracted taking pictures of the stars on the way up! But I was just in time for a beautiful sunrise. :) It was seriously an amazing walk in the night and would highly recommend to anyone.

 

Having some problems with photoshop at the moment and it seems to not work or crash when I'm using it anyone else having problems?

I know, it's another sunset. I've moved south to the Sarasota area. There are some beautiful beaches here and I'm drawn to the water. The weather has been great but I almost feel bad mentioning it after hearing about the latest snowfall in S. Ontario.....almost:-)). Thanks for the suggestion Mike re: the beach. Loved it. We'll have to get there again when you get here. Get packing!! I've got some groundhog I've saved just for you. Better than squirrel!!

I met a guy there who was also shooting the sunset and who is also on Flickr. Small world:-)). Nice meeting you Jim and thanks for the tips on where to shoot.

II know I spend far too much time trying to photograph blue jays. I find it a personal affront that they seek to do their best to hide behind the first layer of foliage when they fly away so you can't get their photo.

 

So, it was with great glee that I tracked this one into a tree where he thought he was invisible but he did not take into account the angle I had on him which gave me a tunnel through the leaves to where he was sitting.

 

By the way, did you spot the moth that he has captured?

 

it has it's own time, people use to know it, and how to follow it

We know spring has arrived here in Australia when huntsman sightings increase. They are harbingers and heralds of the warmer months.

 

This was my first encounter of the 2022 spring season on August 25, a Heteropoda sp. male, seen on the inside of an empty flower pot in the garden.

 

Spiders within genus Heteropoda are known commonly as giant huntsman due to the impressive sizes some species can achieve when fully grown.

 

This male had a body length of around 2 cm. I'm not sure if he is fully grown as yet.

You know that feeling you get where you want to be left alone. You dont want to have anyone ask anything of you and you only want to have to consider yourself for once. Well I get that now and then because my life is so busy and I got what I wanted on Monday when everyone was off doing their own thing and I was left alone overnight ALL ON MY OWN. And it was great.....for about an hour ;-)

I don't know if this picture is any good or not other than I like it. I took this yesterday in my front garden after the rain. It is a bush with black berries that were on it all winter and are now turning into little flowers as you can see from bottom left of the picture. I just think there is a nice light to this picture that I like. I hope somebody else will like it too...

I think I know.

I do know!

 

These are the woods of Robert Frost, the ones that inspired his famous poem, "Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening."

 

Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village though;

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

 

My little horse must think it queer

To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

 

He gives his harness bells a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound’s the sweep

Of easy wind and downy flake.

 

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

 

 

I really liked the way this tree seemed to be bending backwards and embracing it's brethren.

I don't know why I was surprised to see lots of butterflies fluttering around - after all this is a field of flowers, right?

 

As we approached, I saw some Gulf Fritillaries flitting about, but they were not as cooperative as the bees and did not want their picture taken. Finally giving up, I settled on taking "regular" shots of the sunflowers instead.

 

Not until editing this photo did I realize this is a Monarch butterfly!

If only I'd known there were also Monarchs - I would have tried harder!

I know it is not my best, but I tried doing the photo, I just don't have much motivation hopefully I get a decent placement and will be back on track next week

 

Although I tried the smize and mouth thing the judges seem to like it when others do it so I gave it a try :)

This Florida native knows how to hold a pose. Perched on a rock like a reptilian yogi, the turtle stretches its neck toward the light, one clawed foot gripping the stone with quiet determination. Its shell, etched with age and softened by moss, tells a story of stillness and survival.

 

The water around it is clear and calm, revealing a bed of submerged rocks that cradle the moment in earthy tones. It’s a portrait of patience—no rush, no drama, just the art of being.

That's not the real reason why the mountain has such name, (Pink Mountain) but I can say that yesterday it has really deserved it. The Massif, as seen from more than 150km, with a 400mm, at the sunset, when the peaks are covered with snow, takes a peculiar pink color while a sea of fog was covering the whole Padanian lowland. Some birds are crossing the frame, who can see them?

Answers on a post card if you know where ? I do remember the day so well and another reason to hang on to photo's... When we were getting my gear from out of the car I sipped over but as is always the case I think more of my camera and its safety than my own. It didn't help that the more I tried to get to my feet the more impossible it became. My husband and I were in stitches because I was on sheet ice lightly covered with snow and just kept slithering around in the same spot. I eventually got on to my knees and crawled to where I could get to my feet. My mind just remembers the name Goyt Valley so I'm hoping my brain hasn't got completely to pot yet :) Sue ...

It took the help of some friends who know snakes well to identify this as a juvenile Southern Black Racer. Their top side turns a deep black as they age and their belly and chin a nice contrasting white. They are very common here in southern Florida, in part because they are so fast at escaping. This guy greeted me ready to strike when I opened my garage door. Very aggressive. He kept attempting to strike at me and my camera. I moved him to some rocks where he could quickly do the disappearing acts that snakes do so well. If you see one, while their bite is not vemenous, they will defend themselves cornered. They eat things we consider pests, including other smaller snakes. If you’re one of those many people who have the fear of snakes built into their genes, best advice is to leave all snakes alone and, in this case, enjoy watching how fast it will slither away.

Getting to know my 'new' lens, the iconic Helios 40, 85mm f1.5 early M39 silver version with extension tubes. Stopped down slightly. I can barely hold the camera one-handed, so not ideal as a macro lens. The true calling of this lens is for portraiture, and I can confirm that it is magnificent at this.

Sympathy

I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,

When his wing is bruised

and his bosom sore, _

When he beats his bars and

he would be free;

It is not a carol of joy or glee.

But a prayer that he sends

from his heart's deep core,

But a plea, that upward to

Heaven, he flings_

I know why the caged bird

sings!

Paul Laurence Dunbar

BLOG #111

 

Did you know that over 8 million tons of plastic flow into our ocean every year? By 2050 it is expected that there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish.

 

I've been thinking a lot about these stats recently and what I can do to raise awareness and give back - especially considering today is Earth Day.

 

So all sales from this weekend will be matched and donated to "Ocean Blue Project", a nonprofit committed to removing plastic from our ocean and beaches.

New ((Krature)) releases at our mainstore for Wanderlust Weekend!

 

---

 

Rings is my first ever custom mesh creation. Its everyone's least favorite piece of harmful trash - soda can rings.

 

Included are

✨ Two hold versions with pose sized for M/F

✨ One placed version that lines up with the string on RIPTIDE

✨ One Unrigged/Unscripted Version to Rezz in world or wear as you like.

 

----

 

Trash is a mermaid tail applier HUD for RIPTIDE by Aii & Ego. It's created on the Alienwaves. RIPTIDE applier system, so if you have tails from other stores who use the same applier - no need to reinstall the scripts in your tail!

 

Trash is designed to look like black plastic bags wrapped around the tail, and the fins have custom materials which resemble the ever popular convenience store "THANK YOU" plastic bags.

 

This is my first release for this tail, I hope you enjoy it - I am excited to make more.

  

**Designed Exclusively for the Aii & Ego RIPTIDE Tail, you will need to buy this tail to use this product. You can purchase it from their mainstore**

 

Most of you know by now how I love 'playing' with light, a never ending beautiful challenge, food for my creative soul, which I so desperately need at the moment...

Each flower or object, most definitely people, seem to have a different 'personality' which I'm trying to capture.

 

Alstroemeria, the genus named after the Swedish baron Alströmer who brought them back from a trip to South America in 1753.

Also called the Peruvian Lily or Inca Lily, is a South American genus of about 50 species of flowering plants.

The flower, which resembles a miniature lily, is very popular for bouquets and flower arrangements in the commercial cut flower trade.

They have a vase life of about two weeks.

 

With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

Photo prise lors d'une rando au cours de laquelle je suis allé au sommet du Merkur (668m) au départ de Ebersteinburg.

 

Je suis enfin allé faire une nouvelle rando hier !... Ma précédente rando datait du 9 août, c'est à dire il y a 41 jours (quasiment 7 semaines) en arrière ... Et sur le retour, j'ai senti à quel point mes jambes étaient en énorme manque d'entraînement ... J'ai terminé complètement au ralenti. J'avais envisagé d'aller faire un petit aller-retour sur les falaises du Battert que j'affectionne tant mais compte tenu de ma fatigue physique, j'y ai évidemment renoncé. Je pense que j'ai dû faire un peu moins de 500m de dénivelé et de 10km de distance. C'est peu pour un randonneur entraîné. Mais hier je n'étais qu'un randonneur occasionnel ... Hier soir j'étais rincé et cette nuit j'ai dormi comme une marmotte. Pas moyen de me lever ce matin ...

J'aurai donc fait 1 seule randonnée en août et 1 seule en septembre aussi car le week-end prochain, je vais à un mariage ... J'espère randonner un peu plus cet automne et cet hiver ...

 

Pour en revenir à la rando, elle a été copieusement baignée de soleil et c'est ce que j'étais venu chercher en poussant vers le Nord-Est car les nuages sont venus par le Sud-Ouest hier. Mais je n'ai guère pu faire de photos de paysage car le contre-jour était trop fort. par contre, la lumière était magnifique en forêt et il commence à y avoir de belles premières couleurs d'automne. Alors j'ai fait de nombreuses macros en contre-jour, en essayant d'avoir du bokeh.

I know I post a lot of photos of this mountain, but it's home and I like it! This view was taken in October. I may have a little trouble keeping up with Flickr over the next several days as my computer is going in the shop and I will be relying on my Ipad...... not ideal but it should help prevent computer withdrawal! LOL Have a great rest of the week everyone! :)

Do you know that too? You come to a beautiful place, a landscape panorama, a special stretch of coast by the sea or the shore of a lake and in the most beautiful places there are high fences, walls, villas or entire residential or hotel complexes.

Luckily it's not the case everywhere (in my beautiful Elbe Sandstone Mountains, for example, the view belongs to everyone) but I've experienced it several times in other places.

Then there are sights that you have to qualify for (either with money or with connections).

This also partly applies to this beautiful view of the famous “Blue Wonder”, a landmark of the city of Dresden.

When you get up here, you quickly notice that there are one house next to another. And every house has really high and opaque fences. Only from here, on the terrace of a rather chic restaurant, does one have a relatively unobstructed view.

Since I wanted to take a photo but didn't plan on eating here, I secretly sneaked onto the empty terrace (luckily it's winter) and set up my tripod in a dark corner.

Since I didn't bother anyone with anything, I think it's fine so far.

However, I would like to emphasize that I did not climb over any fences to gain entry. That would go way too far and I would skip the photo (which has already happened several times).

 

Kennt Ihr das auch ? Ihr kommt an einen wunderschönen Ort, ein Landschaftspanorama, einen besonderen Küstenabschnitt am Meer oder das Ufer einen Sees und an den schönsten Stellen stehen hohe Zäune, Mauern, Villen oder ganze Wohn- bzw. Hotelkomplexe.

Es ist zum Glück nicht überall der Fall (in meinem wunderschönen Elbsandsteingebirge gehört der Ausblick zum Beispiel jedem) doch ich habe es anderen Ortes schon mehrmals erlebt.

Dann sind es Anblicke, für die muss man sich qualifizieren (entweder mit Geld oder mit Beziehungen).

Dies gilt teilweise auch für diesen wunderschönen Blick auf das berühmte "Blaue Wunder" ein Wahrzeichen der Stadt Dresden.

Kommt man nämlich hier oben an, dann stellt man sehr schnell fest, dass hier ein Haus neben dem anderen steht. Und jedes Haus hat wirklich hohe und blickdichte Zäune. Nur von hier, der Terasse eines ziemlich schicken Restaurants hat man einen relativ freien Blick.

Da ich ein Foto machen wollte, jedoch nicht vor hatte hier zu essen, habe ich mich heimlich auf die leere Terasse geschlichen (zum Glück ist gerade Winter) und mein Stativ in einer dunklen Ecke aufgebaut.

Da ich niemanden bei irgend etwas gestört habe denke ich, dass geht soweit in Ordnung.

Ich möchte allerdings betonen, das ich über keinerlei Zäune geklettert bin um mir Zutritt zu verschaffen. Das ginge dann deutlich zu weit und ich würde das Foto sausen lassen (was auch schon mehrfach passiert ist).

You know the type. Goes to the store just for a liter of milk. Will not take a basket in the store and dumps it all on the belt by cash register. Carries it home under arm, in the pockets, under the chin. Shit, of course, always happens. Especially, if you carry eggs. I want it to write about Pawnbrokers; well, next time. Queensglad Pawnbrokers sign seems to be of older vintage, but the Pawnbrokers are around only since 1996.

In order to know these hills, I ought to set foot upon their earth in quietness, perhaps. At least that seemed something painfully necessary at the time. Instead I go through in the sealed train, looking out from behind glass. I am cut off entirely from the hills and they are fairly abstract. What do I know of them, or they of me? There is no necessity for me to know them, or for them to know me. If I am to know those hills, if their rock faces are to be more than blanks, perhaps I have to climb them, be lost in their woods. However, it is a terrible thing to ride encased in the glass, sterile, train asking the hills who they are, and being cut off from any real answer in a sealed tube of scientifically cleaned and heated air, not the same air as fills the bitter, hostile woods outside. When the hills go to answer, they are defeated; so is the questioner. The answer can’t get through the glass.

-Thomas Merton, “January 2, 1941,” in Run to the Mountain, 282.

Hello Everyone and Happy Monday!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I did promise an Interview I did with my friend Mary with my next photo,however she is not done editing, so it will have to be in the next photo. :)

I had a client request a few weeks ago to do an erotic style photograph in the Helmut Newton style. I was happy to oblige and taking the idea he gave to me of a Mistress of the house and her loyal dog companion always at her side, obedient and loving, I did a variation of the photo Mr. Newton did years ago. If you do not know of his work, here is a link to his foundation and I am sure you can find his work on the internets. :) helmut-newton-foundation.org/en/exhibitions-in-the-founda...

 

Thank you for allowing me to share my photo with you and have a lovely evening.

 

xoxo,

Hildda

...we both know I'm worth waiting for (BE)

Everyone knows about the Sunrise and Paradise entrances into Mount Rainier National Park, those who enjoy the long beautiful drive go around to the Stevens Canyon entrance, but the lonely forgotten washed out Carbon River entrance is still there, you just have to walk it. I'm not fond of this pic, but it does show what the hike in looks like walking through 800 year old Douglas Firs. It's dark and where the light beams in the rays cause magic steam. the boughs hundreds of feet above you creek and a lot of them are falling. Moss inches thick covers the ground and down trees and more trees grow out of them. It's a tree lovers paradise as long as there isn't any wind. You walk on what was once the road which follows the river so it's sound is ever present and small waterfalls can be heard inland as well. It's damp, it was cold, the smell was amazing and my face still hurts from smiling. More (and better) shots to come.

blow it up large and take a look around. :-)

 

As you know the "Golden" gate bridge is not literally golden or is golden in color ... which made me think about this concept !

 

I thought doing a very long exposure and catching the particularly yellow/white reflections of passing cars' headlights might fix that problem ! So I headed to the vista point at night and after a few tries with different durations and white balances I managed to get the Golden Gate to look Golden, as it should have in the first place (!).

 

It was a particularly cold night and I couldn't feel my hands after this, so I really hope you enjoy this one !
