On Christmas, can you remember that moment of perfect anticipation just as each gift was beginning to be unwrapped?
This is Clara and my grandson Ryfry (my family bestows the weirdest nicknames on each other) caught in one of those precious spans of time.

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.

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! :)
It's okay if you don't know everything.

Sly eye baby fox knows what's coming. These curious baby foxes came out to play while moma was out getting food. Having a den in the middle of a town must be very interesting for these pups.
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!
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.

Yes, I know street photographers are supposed to be stealth and blend into the crowd, but I tend to interact with the population when the opportunity arises.
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, (* _ *)

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
All the young dogs love to jump all over Ky and play fight with him, we think it's because Ky is such a softy that they know they can completely trust him. As soon as they see Ky they come running to him so they can play. Ky actually loves it! crazy dog that he is.
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 just never know when you're going to get a chance to get a special capture. I had very little expectations today - and then the house thermostat broke. So I stopped late in the afternoon to do a Lowe's curbside pick-up and as I drive through the JC Penny parking lot I see a dozen birds feeding in a tree - hmph - I figure they must be Robins. I decide to take a closer look - mother-of-pearl, one of my favorite birds - Cedar Waxwings. Oh yeah, this day just got immensely better. .
You know winter is around the corner when you see a Dark-eyed Junco (snowbird). Had two in my backyard and lots of them at the lake. The birds can stay, but the snow can stay away. Central Bucks, PA.

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!

I can see through the scars inside you"

There's a Crane fly? or big Stone fly? on them.
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.

I know they aren’t unusual here, but I always feel very lucky to see them. In this case saw the female first, and wondered “what kind of flycatcher is this?” Then her mate flew up.
Vermillion flycatcher, Pyrocephalus rubinus
This handsome happy fella is Simba, and he belongs to a neighbor where I used to live. I was asked to come and photograph him and did so willingly. He's a big boy that loves to play and doesn't quite know his own strength yet. He's going to be fairly large as he's part Mastiff and part Rottweiler. Overall, he's a big friendly pup that just loves attention and how can you resist those lovable eyes !!
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 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.

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!

::: Nina Nesbitt - I'm Coming Home :::
I’m driving down these old dirt roads
I see the hills up on the right
White grass, artificial ski slope
Im speeding by the east coast train line
I’ve got a friend talking on the phone
He said he’d help me pass the time
I’m where the humour is dry as a bone
but it rains here every night
To see the faces that I know
Been away for way too long,
Where the trees always growin’
Wanna see where time has gone,
So put the kettle on the stove
Leave a light on so they know I’m coming home
I’ve got the wind in my sails
I’ve got the red in my cheeks
Cause I’ve been running from this place
Ever since seventeen
Cobbled streets
Evergreens
Castles and
housing schemes
That whisky taste
Out till late
See that man
He’s shitfaced
To see the faces that I know
Been away for way too long
So put the kettle on the stove
Leave a light on so they know
I’m coming home
Flashback I’m seventeen
in the passenger seat
You roll the windows down
808s and heartbreak plays
Even in this small town
We still had the biggest dreams
I always wanted something more
I always wanted to be seen
Still got that northern blood
I’ve still got a sharp edged tongue
I hold it like a sword
So everyone knows where I’m from
You take for granted all the things
That one day will be gone
I should’ve for held on for dear life
When I was young
I walk through the trees
I see the green
I see the reservoir
I see the nights
I see the lights
I see my family fall apart
I know the leaving
know the feelings
Know the seasons change
Things are different now
But I still feel the same
I’ve been around I’ve seen it all
There’s nowhere else I’d rather go
So won’t you let them know
I’m coming home
