this cutie was crawling thru a japanese maple tree in my yard as the sun was setting. i loved the soft chaos of the leaves and the warm colors.
for 7DoS: I know frogs aren't normally furry but Gribbit is. He was a favourite friend of Jnr when he was a baby and he makes a great frog noise :)

Even the most confident of women can be broken while trying to find new jeans. We search for the perfect pair, the ones that make our asses look great, the ones that go with everything, the ones that look quality while being affordable.
Instead we find the ones that fit perfectly in the leg, but gape open at the waist. The ones that fit perfectly in the leg but then refuse to zip up. The ones that looked great in the store, but after two days of wear get that gross saggy knee thing. The ones that made your butt look great but are really just a tad too tight so you have to wear a long shirt in order to hide the muffin-top. The ones that fit nicely at the waist but cover your entire foot and still have another two inches after that. The ones with the creeping zipper. The ones that just won't fucking stay up no matter what hole you use on your belt.
We see these things and we wonder who these jeans were made to fit, because surely they must be for someone. But I don't know a single woman who has an easy time of it. I suppose the shape of a woman's legs isn't something standard, something that can be recreated by a handful of pieces of denim stitched together in all the appropriate places. Is it any wonder, then, that when we find that pair, that perfect pair, we wear them to death?
Until the first tiny hole appears at the knee, and you try to ignore it, but one day your finger idly slips inside and tears it open, leaving soft flesh poking through. And that hole frays further with every wash, every wear, and more begin to follow — the seam at the crotch, along the back pockets — until the jeans are hardly pants at all anymore. They are little more than buttery soft cobwebs draped over your legs, something you can now only wear on laundry day, or to wash the car, paint a cabinet... but still something you can't bear to get rid of, because it is finally in the shape of you.

Makeup has played a dispensable role in most women's life. In their opinion, they should make up well to look much more beautiful.
Glamour's Suze Yalof Schwartz went behind the scenes at Fashion Week to find out how they do it. Now she's giving you lessons!
1 Easter egg colors are your friend.
We're loving this cheery remix of the smoky eye. Just swap your charcoal shadow for the grown-up pastels makeup artist Dick Page used on models at Michael Kors. He lined their eyes with black pencil, then added gold shimmer in the inner corners. Next, he applied light blue or purple shadow along the lower curve of the eyes and from the lash line to just above the crease, then smudged, smudged, smudged. He finished with black mascara.
2 Pretty eye shadows to try.
Shiseido Makeup Luminizing Satin Eye Color in Bone, Fondant and Provence.
3 Fab skin and lip savers.
A one-minute way to glow?
Darphin Aromatic Renewing Balm. For a cheaper moisturizer alternative that's easy to track down, check your medicine cabinet - a bit of petroleum jelly works too.
4 Orange is the new red (lipstick).
We saw this again and again backstage and learned the trick to pulling it off: Just pick one spot to play up. Makeup pro Lucia Pica chose the cheeks at the Erin Fetherston show. She rubbed creamy orange blush onto the models' cheekbones with her fingers - a nice, bright contrast to their smoky brown eyeshadow.
5 A lipstick to love.
At Rebecca Taylor, makeup artist Rie Omoto used MAC Lipstick in Lady Danger on the models' lips. Apply it with a lip brush for more control.
6 A cure for tarantula lashes.
In between primping models at BCBG, vice president of MAC makeup artistry Gordon Espinet taught me his secret for keeping lashes defined and clump-free: Apply mascara with a fan brush, left. Just rub it over your mascara wand, then brush it onto your lashes—the stiff bristles are great for separating. How genius is that?
7 Try a textured mani.
Think of your nails as a showpiece accessory (they're jewelry, but cheaper), and apply a polish with sparkle - like chunky glitter or gold flecks - built in. "It's all about texture," manicurist Elle told me at the Reem Acra show. Another way to wear the trend: Try a dark, opaque shade, with a sheer, shimmery layer on top.
8 Do an unboring decorated bun.
Classic chignons are a runway staple, but the best ones this year got dressed up with fabric. At the Tibi show, hairstylists Kevin Ryan and Frank Rizzieri confessed that they used leftover fabric to frame the models' updos. And at Jason Wu, hair pro Odile Gilbert used sheer black cloth to add drama to the models' hair. "It's fresh and spontaneous," she said. To DIY, twist your hair into a bun, wrap fabric around it and make big loops with the material, pinning them into place as you go.
9 Vampy lips done right.
The super-intense lipstick combo MAC artist Romero Jennings used for the Jason Wu show made me want to take a temporary hiatus from my usual nudes - it's that gorgeous. First he applied a deep berry matte lipstick with a lip brush to create a base. Then he added a creamy eggplant shade on top, pressing it in with his fingers for a modern, stained effect. You can perfect the line with a cotton swab or a lip brush (no liner needed). As for your eyes, keep them simple like Jennings did. Apply bronzy shadow and brown liner, then curl your lashes. So fresh!
10 Add texture to your ponytail.
Why Ted Gibson loves the roughed up look: "You get a really interesting ponytail rather than the same old version you always wear." At Lela Rose, Gibson spritzed sections of the models' wet hair with hairspray, then rolled the pieces with his fingers while blow-drying for messiness. Laurent Philippon used a crimper to go punk at Monique Lhuillier. Crimp a big front section and pull your hair back, keeping the sides of the pony slick. Secure with an elastic, then crimp down along the tail.

This is from up around Stanley, Idaho, a couple weeks ago. While it looks kind of like a sunset, this was actually taken about three hours before sunset. This orange glow is all smoke from the big forest fire up here, about 80 miles from where I shot this, along the Salmon River. It's still burning now. I sure hope they can get this thing under control soon. It's gotten dangerously close to several towns.
A complete knock off (except I 'forgot' to include her entire arm duh) of Lori Hand's magnificent image
Should have switched to the 50mm, as I was back against the wall with the 85. my dumb hindsight!!!
Today's is Mother's Day. I fully intended to photograph my mother & grandmother but that didn't happen ): I'll be photographing my grandma and her husband soon though. This is me without makeup, all natural. Well minus my bleached hair x] I figured I have to throw some of me in my 365 project sometimes whether they're artistic or not.
One afternoon I was waiting for someone and while I was waiting I decided to practice and trying to get a better understanding of the effect of shutter speeds.
I used a rainbow windmill, its three little lights that spin round and round and produce different patterns. I picked this picture because it showed a full circle and all the different colours it produced and the fact that it looks like its going really fast…lol
I did do much in LR…just decreased the blacks and added a little bit of lens vignetting.

My fav M-Rokkor 28mm (1981, for Leica M-mount camera "minolta CLE"), I think maybe usually sold cheaply in the recent market because of ugly glass condition...
But you can make it reborn (clean) by yourself to the "Japanese Elmarit". (of course own risks)
If you can get a good condition's again, I think it's better than Elmarit of the same era (Ver.2 and 3).
And dare to say, better than Ver.4 (pre-ASPH) if you use on SONY A7 series. There are no obvious vignetting or corner problems, and no color-flinge...
I took this shot a week ago tonight, when the local fire spinners were rehearsing for the Beltane Fire Festival.
Actually, they're currently rehearsing right this minute (I can see them from my window), but since I hadn't got around to processing any images from last week, I opted to stay in and do my 'homework'. :-)
I've processed this RAW image twice as a Smart Object playing around with the saturation/luminosity of the orange/yellow hues...once for the performer and once for the fire. Oh, and the flashgun fired once during this two second exposure, but on fairly low power.
The multi-armed Indian goddess effect is rather cool, don't you think? :-)
