It is the absence of facts that frightens people: the gap you open, into which they pour their fears, fantasies, desires.

Another lifer! I don't know exactly what this Baird's Sparrow has stuffed in its bill, other than a green caterpillar, but this is almost certainly food for its young brood. And this is certainly a Baird's. Slightly different views - not as sharp due to heat shimmer - showed the necklace of dark streaks on its upper breast. It was about the size of a Grasshopper Sparrow - quite small - and no doubt I have mistaken others for the latter, over the years. It isn't a lifer until you can I.D. it, until you know what you are looking at.

 

Google will tell you its conservation status is "Least Concern", but according to Cornell this species has lost 65% of its population since 1967 and is a "Red Alert Tipping Point species." Its decline is mainly due to habitat loss as native grassland is converted for agricultural usage.

 

Cool Fact: Baird's Sparrow was the last new bird described by Audubon (in 1843).

 

My pal Madonna has a cool story about this species. When she arrived in Val Marie in 2014 as Artist in Residence at the Convent Inn - coincidentally the same way I landed here - a guest flew in from Washington specifically to add a Baird's to his life list. He rented a car in Regina, drove down to our little community, and spotted his first Baird's before he even checked in. He was over the moon with excitement.

I know she doesn't like spiders, but she DOES like sunflowers, and this tiny fellow was on the back of this flower. Perhaps knowledge of his diminutive stature and taste in residence will allow for appreciation of his dapper ensemble?

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?

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).

A la pointe extrême de l'avancée des soldats Canadiens de Terre-neuve à Masnières, un fier caribou de bronze regarde l’horizon. Il est l’un des 5 mémoriaux érigés en Europe en l’honneur des soldats terre-neuviens qui ont pris part à la Première Guerre mondiale. On peut ainsi retrouver le même caribou à Monchy-le-Preux, Beaumont-Hamel et Gueudecourt dans la Somme et à Courtrai en Belgique.

 

Le Royal Newfounland Regiment

Le 20 Novembre 1917, le régiment de Terre Neuve et du Labrador reçoit pour mission d’investir le village de Masnières par l’Ouest. Les combats sont très violents au passage du Canal de Saint-Quentin à l’écluse de Bracheux, entre Masnières et Marcoing. Le bataillon remplira sa mission le 21 Novembre et parviendra à la troisième ligne de la défense Hindenburg là où se situe le mémorial du Caribou.

A partir du 30 Novembre, lors de la contre-attaque allemande, le bataillon défendra âprement ses positions au Sud du canal.

 

I don't give a damn. I don't know about anyone else here but when uncomfortable creeps up and things get weird, I find myself stepping away. I like status quo, I like comfortable, and fun. Dislikes: weirdness (not the good weird...that creepy feeling you get when somethings not right), changes, and anything uncomfortable. I have a bad habit of being that person to just walk away. I have nuked more bridges than I can count in an effort to not have to deal with that kind of thing, it's much easier to blow things up and walk away match in hand like in the movies.

 

I do want to mention that I am extremely lucky to get to work with the designers that sponsor me. The content is genuinely amazing and it allows me to expand my creativity. That being said, I cannot say enough about this dress, The detailing and fabric are amazing, sometimes the clothes in Secondlife set the tone and that absolutely is the effect that the dress had, so many color options to choose from! The Fan is available in two versions, feathered and not feathered, I love the feathered one in world but for the sake of the picture the one without feathers felt more appropriate.

Treat yourself and if you haven't been to Web Dew before, go see what they have to offer for yourself.

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.

Isobelle Carmody

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.

[Look to Your Soul]

I know if I'd been wiser this would never have occurred

but I wallowed in my blindness so it's plain that I deserve

for the sin of self-indulgence when the truth was writ quite clear

I must spend my life amongst the dead who spend their lives in fear

of a death that they're not sure of, of a life they can't control

It's all so simple really if you just look to your soul

Some say that I'm a wise man, some think that I'm a fool

It doesn't matter either way: I'll be a wise man's fool

For the lesson lies in learning and by teaching I'll be taught

for there's nothing hidden anywhere, it's all there to be sought

And so if you know anything look closely at the time

at others who remain untrue and don't commit that crime

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,

You know that box that you keep trying to put me in? Go ahead and ask me: How many fucks do you give? The answer is simple: None. I have none to give. I am me. I am strong. I am my own woman. And I'm gonna fucking rock it.

Special thanks to Kimmy for posing for me! Enjoy your new profile picture!

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 !

SOMEWHERE ONLY WE KNOW – LILY ALLEN

 

AGENT OF GOOD FORTUNE

 

Like a muse you came to me

the news was so very good to read

I saw the writing on every wall

and in every mirror reflections of your soul

shadows whispering round my heels

soft, floating wishes; an agent of good fortune

marching your feet so very tirelessly

and though I am quite an effort

I am so happy you think I'm worth it

for I've never met another man like you

and I don't suppose I ever wanted to

because you are truly one of a kind

the kind of man who gets me so completely

that I feel whole instead of a jumbled puzzle

a broken plaything that someone else grew tired of

and abandoned me to myself,

like a discarded toy high up on a dusty shelf

but what a gift; a treasure they left so far behind and never knew

like in a fairy tale you woke me from my endless reverie

A Prince that listens to all my tales of woe and misery

and never fails to make me smile

who listens to my nonsense

and levels it with such good advice;

someone who's prepared to go that extra mile

I hear you laughing now, so at least in equal measures

a pinch of sarcasm amid our hidden pleasures

but I can take it; my shoulders broad

even if only metaphorically

but then metaphysically my poetry

doesn't need to rhyme

because the emphasis is on the words

the meanings and not beating time

I know you like it to be simpler

and you pretend to misunderstand

but I know you're smarter

than the average bear Boo-Boo

I can sometimes wax lyrical if you prefer

but I can't always tell how it will end

because I write in a stream of consciousness

and when I read it back

it's often the first I've heard of it

there's no accounting for what's hidden in our minds

but what I do know is what is in my heart

and you captivated a part of me right from the start

it's as though somewhere in the universe

a split appeared and then I fell to Earth

but you'd already been here for a little while

and never knew until one day you saw me smile

and it hit you that I was the other half of you

but there's nothing to be done about it

at least not in this incarnation

even if we had the right inclination

we cannot mess with divine intervention

but be patient because we already

waited several lifetimes

so what's another one or two

and this time round I have a photographic memory

so I will remember and not make the same mistakes again next time

and when the portal to our dreams opens up it's doors once more

I will wait for the perfect moment

and then I will be yours

and we will go to that special place

that special somewhere that only we can know

where there's no other place we want to go

you know the place I mean

it looms so large in both our dreams

I think that you will be my rock

the anchor that weights me down

for in this world I'm only floating

round and round trying hard to never be found

because I don't want to be with anyone else

I'm holding out for another lifetime

when you and I can dance around

and we will be forever bound

together ...

BLOG #56

When you know a bit about the Algarve and think of Albufeira, the connotation of "tourism" automatically comes to mind. Yes, Albufeira is an extremely lively and touristy place. According to some data, the population increases from about 14,000 to 300,000 during the summer season. In winter, however, you can see the beach almost empty at sunset. And the white buildings of the town shine in this warm light and suggest a visit to one of the local restaurants.

I know my photo is a little bit disturbing to look at, however this weeks topic is provoking. I had two options: the first one was mini Pink Panter holding a stolen diamond so the whole topic could be funny, but I've decided to go with the other serious idea as the crime is an unamusing problem.

In order not to be worried what is buried in my backyard I will tell you - this is my left hand in the substrate (peat moss) for flowers. In my right hand I am holding my camera as no one didn't want to pose for me.

HMM!

As always, thank you so much for your visits, comments and faves!

I know the school of thought that you should ask a human subject for permission to take their picture, which I agree is nice for some situations, but it doesn't allow you to capture the unselfconscious ballet of human behavior. (Here, admittedly, self-consciousness is on display, but that's the charming point.) We in fact did interact before and after I shot this, and they were aware that I was there shooting them shooting each other.

The tenth and last image in this long Insect Series...

 

Yes, yes, I know. Spiders are NOT insects! So they technically should not be a part of this series. But I'll claim artistic license, lame as that may be :) This spider is just too amazing not to post as the finale to the series!

 

While Spiders and Insects share the same Phylum (Arthropoda), they are in different Classes- Spiders are in the Arachnid Family, while insects are in the Insecta Family. Spiders have 8 legs, insects have 6. No spider species have wings, while many insects do have wings.

 

This fairly large (3-inch) Cross Spider has been hanging around my Astilbe plants for the past two weeks. I spent a couple hours one day working every angle to get some stellar images of it. And you are looking at one of them here.

 

I love the light from the sky that shines through its body and give the spider such clear definition and clarity. I also like that you can clearly see the white cross symbol on its body from which it gets its name. Enlarge to the max to get the most immersive view.

 

With the cold of autumn moving in, I probably won't be seeing many more insects and spiders, so I am very happy that I was able to capture so many of them over the late summer months.

 

Thank you for joining me in this series with your views, faves, and comments... It's been so enjoyable!

Now we know it, this smal shrimp us a habitat from Sand with rotten wood.

A brief pause as I puff up another hill. I am now a couple of miles east of Portloe but you wouldn't even know it was there

I know this engine house has been photographed dozens of times before, but I'm afraid I find it irresistible. So I thought I'd try it from a different angle. This is the Towanroath Shaft engine house on the side of the cliffs in between St Agnes and Chapel Porth on the north coast of Cornwall. It is part of the Wheal Coates mine complex.

 

Earliest records indicate a mine at the site since 1692. The present mine opened in 1802 and came into full production in 1815. At the height of its production, 140 people were employed at the site to mine a seam of tin just below sea level. It closed for the first time in 1844 and was allowed by the owners to flood.

 

A new owner re-opened the mine in 1872 and built the Towanroath Shaft engine house to allow deep mining to commence. The engine house was used to pump water from the adjacent shaft which was 600 feet deep - well below sea level.

 

The mine closed again in 1889 when the price of tin fell. In 1906, new ownership hoped to work the mine for both tin and copper as Wheal Coates had produced a small amount of copper ore more than a century earlier. The period of operation from 1911-1913 was not very successful because tin production was sporadic and the mining boom was long gone. The mine closed for good in 1914.

 

Most of the mine buildings, which are Grade II-listed and from the 1870s, are on the top of the cliff out of shot. These, plus the Towanroath engine house, are preserved and maintained by the National Trust.

Fleece and lichen.

Did you know... Lichens are the best indicators of air pollution since they can't live in areas with concentration of sulphur dioxide in air. Hence, we can say that Lichens are the best indicators of Air Pollution. If there are no lichens present, the air quality is very poor.

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.

Yeah I know what you into

Baby got a type

Yeah I could be gentle

But that ain’t what you like

Lips you’re biting it’s inviting

And it’s hot as hell

Trust your body I’m nobody

I don’t kiss and tell

 

Release your inhibitions

There ain’t no point in fighting

Don’t need no good intentions

So why you tryna find it

Just scream and shout

♫ - In Your Fantasy - ATEEZ
