A caribou biologist told me that if I ever encounter one on the open tundra and want it to come closer, "Just lie down. They're curious - they have to find out where you went." So, the following summer in the Burwash Uplands, I did just that: lay down on my back, hand holding a 200mm lens. And sure enough, this caribou bull couldn't resist, sidling in with much snorting and hesitation until he was within range.
These are non-migratory caribou, in the summertime found in small, scattered herds throughout the area. Their main predators are wolves, and a few days after getting this shot I was thrilled to witness a wolf-caribou chase. It wasn't close - the caribou easily escaped - and unfortunately I wasn't close enough for good photos.
Amphitheatre Mountain sprawls in the background here, a volcanic remnant, heavily eroded on one side. It's an easy hike via the other side, and then a fabulous ridge walk, with a high probability of finding Dall Sheep on top. One year I located a Red Fox den on the eroded side, was all set to return the next day and set up for a fabulous shoot - and a bilizzard arrived overnight, snowing us in for three days. Opportunity lost; we'd already been out there nearly two weeks and were running short of food and fuel for the camp stove. When the storm finally broke, we had no choice but to pack out. But that's another story...

Glen Coe is a glen in the Highlands of Scotland.
It lies in the southern part of the Lochaber committee area of Highland Council, and was formerly part of the county of Argyll. It is often considered one of the most spectacular and beautiful places in Scotland, and is a part of the designated National Scenic Area of Ben Nevis and Glen Coe. The narrow glen shows a grim grandeur.
The glen, approaching from the east on the main A82 road, is surrounded by wild and precipitous mountains. Further west at Invercoe, the landscape has a softer beauty before the main entrance to the glen. The main settlement is the nearby village of Glencoe located in Carnoch.
The name Glen Coe is often said to mean "Glen of Weeping", perhaps with some reference to the infamous Massacre of Glencoe which took place there in 1692. However, "Gleann Comhann" does not translate as "Glen of Weeping". In fact the Glen is named after the River Coe which runs through it, and bore this name long before the 1692 incident. The name of the river is believed to predate the Gaelic language and its meaning is not known. One possibility is that it was named after a tribe once living in the area; however this remains speculation.

Bloodleaf shrine lies near the edges of the mighty forests of Avalonia, built in honour of a famous elf warrior who fell there centuries ago, fighting in the first drow wars. It is said that when his blood stained the heath, the undergrowth grew up and strangled his foes. The area is famed for the red heath that now grows around the shrine, which has been used by the priests and priestesses there to make their special incense, which they burn day and night in the shrine’s braziers. Researchers from Kaliphlin’s University of Petraea have long been interested in the healing properties of these and other herbs that grow around the shrine. Medical lecturer Dishan Rubati and her centaur research assistant were already deep in study there when the plague struck Avalonia. As refugees from the surrounding villages began to arrive, they used what they had learnt so far to start producing not only healing pastes and potions, but also disinfectant from the volatile plant oils.

I was listening to White Lies and thought about this photo. I bought a calligraphy pen and went crazy. Fun times.
My Take on the Game Character Pinocchio from Lies of P
The whole idea was from The Pinocchio skin made by the talented Miu Littlepaws. maker of Utopia skins. From there was quite the hunt for all the things used to make Pinocchio come to life. I hope I did the Character proud.My hope is Walton Wainwright someday might make a tailcoat either mod so can remove a sleeve or one where they are removable so I might show off his Prosthetic Arm in full which does show on Pinocchio game character. Shot @ The Looking-Glass sim , perfect backdrop for this shoot. Im glad I got him done as starting tomorrow , Im on deck to begin shooting Fantasy Faire as I have for many years and again am honored to do it again this year. Look forward to seeing you all when the mists part.

~ Beauty lies inside the eye of another youthful dream
That doesn't sell it's soul for self-esteem
That's not plasticine
Beauty lies inside desire and every wayward heart redeemed
That doesn't sell it's soul for self-esteem
That's not plasticine
Don't forget to be the way you are
The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything
Don't go and sell your soul for self-esteem
Don't be plasticine
And don't forget to be the way you are ~

Gallatin National Forest, Montana. White lies all around me. Knee deep on the ground, drifted, crusted, sparkling cold. Wind blown and stuccoed to the needles and branches of every fir tree from here to the valley so far below. White lies in shades of itself. From the grays of shadows all the way to the silver on the forest, spread before me like an audience, and in degrees to the mirror-flash white of reflected sun. I could pretend I worked my way up to this spot by persistence and hard labor on snow shoes or skis. Truth is, I have come by snow sled up the twisting trails, stopping where the opportunity strikes me to fire up my camera. I could also lie a little and say what a fine time this is. But the facts are, it's cold this early in the morning, and my fingers get clumsy fast. Even a slight wind cuts into every exposed skin surface. I curse strongly as I handle cold metal on camera and tripod, and the time it takes to set up a vertical format panorama shot. And wipe my continually fogging glasses to see. But it's a labor of love I guess. Love has all kinds of lies, I've found. Lying to yourself that you're accomplishing something. Lying to yourself that you have to suffer a little to get something meaningful. Little white lies to pretend something is perfect when it's not. Harmless. Until they're not, until they're dark secrets and painful cuts. Like everything, I look back and forget the truth. That it was cold and frustrating. I made it look better in photoshop...in retrospect so to say. A lot of white lies in front of the lens...I'll leave the rest to the professionals.
They're lying, we know they're lying, they know we know they're lying, but they keep lying...

I love getting pictures of wolves lying down. I have no idea why but I simply do :)

The Sand Island Lighthouse (also known as the Sand Island Light) is located approximately three miles south from Mobile Point. Originally located on a low lying island of 400 acres, the light stands surrounded by water and massive stones placed to halt the erosion of the island. The tower, which is influenced by the Italianate style, is a 132 foot conical masonry structure which tapers from a width of 40 feet at the base to 17 or 18 feet at the top. It rests on a foundation consisting of double course of sill timbers resting on one hundred seventy-one piles overlaid with 12 feet of concrete. Constructed in 1875, Sand Island Lighthouse is the older of the two remaining lighthouses in the state and is the third to have been erected on this location. A light at Sand Island has marked the entrance to Mobile Bay & the Mobile Ship Channel since 1838. This was the second navigational aid erected for the entrance to the port of Mobile, a light having been established at Mobile Point in 1822. The Frensel lens which has been removed was constructed by Barier and Fenestri in Paris in 1871. Since the construction of the tower several different systems were used for lighting. Originally lard oil lamps were used but were replaced in 1833 by mineral oil lamps. In 1912 an incandescent oilvapor lamp of 17,000 candlepower visible 18 miles at sea was installed and later replaced in 1947 by four nine inch 1000 watt bulbs when the light was automated in 1947. In 1966, the 60,000 candle power beam was dimmed to 8,000 when the new Mobile Point Light took over. The light was finally extinguished and the structure abandoned in 1971. The lens was removed at this time and moved to the nearby Fort Morgan Museum. In 1973, the keepers house was burned. The island were the Sand Island Lighthouse was built, originally 400 acres, had been eroding since the construction and by 1873 was reduced to less than 100 acres. The erosion continued at a rapid pace until between 1873 & 1902 the keepers dwelling was twice removed to more stable ground and several thousand tons of rock were placed around the island & tower. More recently, restoration efforts resulted primarily in stabilization of the island through 2008 and in December 2011 construction of a new island was completed with 1,400,000 yards of sand being dredged from the sea floor and deposited around the lighthouse creating a 2,600 feet by 500 feet, or approximately 15 acres island. Less than a year later the $6,000,000 restoration of the island was washed away by Hurricane Isaac.

I am a bit crook just now, cannot walk too far or drive, so I sat on my decking in the sun. I was bombarded / showered with leaves beech nuts and berries of various species. With my camera to hand I took a few pre autumn low level images for fun, here are a few of them. Enjoy my arty fartiness.....!
