I tried, I really tried, to create an image for tomorrow's Macro Mondays group theme, Vegetables, but I'm afraid I failed miserably. I did, however, take a photo of this single clove of garlic, which reminded me of a little bird. A wren, perhaps? The image originally had a white background, but I liked it better when I added a texture (by FrenchKiss). Since only 'limited editing' is allowed, I won't be adding this to the group, but here's my 'Not Macro Mondays' image anyway. Better luck next week, maybe. :)
I really don't remember why I happened to be in Shingleton on May 5, 1995 but finding 820 and 2401 sitting on the main without a crew was a lucky thing. By the looks of all the clouds catching them in action in the sun would have been problematic no doubt. The Marquette line in the WC era sure could be counted on for great power to shoot, just to bad the trains remained rather sparse.
... a clear mind and a bit of common sense,
that's what we all need today for the US Elections
and for the Marrakech Climate Change Conference !

My first year teaching, I was standing outside at recess when an eagle flew over, quite low. A young boy that I taught said, "You have to wave to the eagle for good luck. My Dad told me. Wave!" This boy's Dad was in jail and he himself had not had a lucky time of things. I think about him often and I always wave to eagles when I see them. I hope he has had lots of eagles in his life since.

Puka shell necklace. The Hawaiian word "puka" means "hole." Puka shells originally contained mollusks who died or were eaten. As the empty shell was knocked about in the ocean, a hole would wear in the weak center of the shell. Hawaiians typically give puka necklaces to wish the recipient goodwill or good luck. If given to a sailor, a puka necklace is supposed to help bring him home safely. --- Courtesy: Classroom.
That's how I feel when I hang out with this guy. He's such a keeper and I'm so happy he found me. It's crazy how fast a year has flown. Our 1 year anniversary is next month. ❤❤
Photography inspired by beautiful Chang'an.
Ladakh (Inde) - Tout photographe, même épuisé, doit être préparé à l’imprévu. Ces deux photos ont été prises alors que j’étais dans le taxi qui m’emmenait à Lamyuru. Je n’ai pas eu beaucoup de temps pour me préparer car la scène m’est apparue à la sortie d’un virage. J’ai juste eu le temps d’ouvrir la fenêtre du véhicule et de déclencher alors que nous contournions le camion accidenté. La seconde photo qui montre le camion couché sur le flanc a également été prise en roulant.
Le hasard fait parfois bien les chose car lorsque j’ai pris la première photo, je n’avait pas vu la plaque du camion sur laquelle était inscrit « good luck ». L’humour se cache parfois dans les détails. Je dois préciser que le chauffeur est sorti indemne de cette sortie de virage hasardeuse. C’est lui qui semble téléphoner (chemise rose) à son patron pour lui dire que le chargement sera probablement livré avec un peu de retard.
Ces deux images m’offrent une parfaite transition pour la série de la semaine prochaine qui sera consacrée à la « Route de la mort » reliant Manali (Himachal-Pradesh) à Leh (Ladakh).
Good luck
Ladakh (India) - Any photographer, no matter how exhausted, should be prepared for the unexpected. These two photos were taken while I was in the taxi taking me to Lamyuru. I didn't have a lot of time to prepare as the scene appeared to me as I came out of a corner. I just had time to open the vehicle window and fire as we rounded the wrecked truck. The second photo which shows the truck lying on its side was also taken while driving.
Chance does things well sometimes because when I took the first photo, I had not seen the plate of the truck with "good luck" written on it. Humor is sometimes hidden in the details. I must point out that the driver got out of this hazardous corner exit unscathed. It is he who seems to call (pink shirt) to his boss to tell him that the cargo will probably be delivered with a little delay.
These two images offer me a perfect transition for next week's series which will be devoted to the "Death Road" from Manali (Himachal-Pradesh) to Leh (Ladakh).
As a child, I always felt extra special when one of these pinkish/coral colored Ladybugs visited me. I loved their color. I’m not even certain they are the same type of beneficial bug, but I always considered them an omen of good luck.
08/04/2016; Sometimes you need a little bit of luck to get things done. Over here the water was quiet, but if I would have gone 50 meters to the left, the current was still strong enough to forget about any kind of reflection whatsoever.

This is a village in Kannur which was developed as a tourism destination by the District Tourism Promotion Council. A strikingly beautiful place with a lot of mangroves and pristine water, the number of Common Kingfishers sighted being testament to the fact. Did see a lot of Little Cormorants as well, but not too many other birds. Shall go there again and try my luck.

Small elephant (about 3 cm. tall), with its trunk raised up. I received it from a friend, when my daughter was born, to bring us good luck :)
Macro Mondays - theme: "Superstition"
Here's a shot from October I haven't posted yet. I decided to get a quick grab shot of the UP 1983 and 1943 duo before chasing it further. Out of the two, WP is the correct leader.

I didn't see any manatees on this day, even though I had a cormorant helping me look. He didn't see any either. They must be shy. Although in Texas we are used to slowing down for cows, just not the sea cow variety. This sign was just outside the marina in The Landings in Fort Myers, Florida.

A tumi is an ornate axe previously used by ancient Peruvian cultures for ritual sacrifices and special ceremonies. Today, it’s common to hang a tumi on the wall in order to bring good luck into the home.
For Cambodians, water blessings are a sacred, spiritual experience; it is a traditional practice that dates back to ancient times and is performed in most of the pagodas across Cambodia. This kind of blessing involves vessels of blessed water being poured over your head while the monks chant. This ritual is believed to bring good luck and happiness.

CP 645 heads over the trestle west of South Haven in the Clearwater River valley, just narrowly avoiding a cloudbang. I've always wanted a shot of this bridge, although it's a bit grown in now, the shot here is still quite nice. Apparently, if you see a car running here with what looks like nobody in it, you probably shouldn't look too far into it...
