...and best viewed in large size.
Good morning. I thought I would post a couple of images taken at "the pond across the street" of the smallest dragonfly to be found in the local area. And due to its small size and extreme wariness, it always presents a challenge to get clean, well focused shots.
With its tiny size and yellow and brown coloration, the diminutive Eastern Amberwing dragonfly (Perithemis tenera) is easy to mistake for a wasp. In fact, it has adopted several behavior patterns to mislead would-be predators into thinking that it is indeed a wasp.
Females, which are always presented here first, have clear wings with brown spots and bands. Sometimes the female's wings have some amber coloration toward the base and around the brown spots that can be clearly seen above. For the male, which can be seen in the comments section or at the below link, the small size, fully amber colored wings, and red stigmas, are diagnostic in that it is the reason this dragonfly got its name.

Caca pasa. I was playing around with some of the settings in my camera's menu and accidentally turned on multiple exposures. Didn't realize it until I went to my son and daughter-in-law's place a couple of days later for a "Tea, Pumpkin Carving and Games" party. My first 3 shots got combined into one triple exposure. Kind of a ghostly image, just in time for Halloween. Sometimes, mistakes can make for an interesting image.

Not sure what happened here. I was shooting for my Primordial Soup (because it sounds much better than pond scum) collection and ended up with this. But it worked. Converting to B&W helped.

The lady does not hide her anger for having been kept waiting. My guess is that someone must have paid dearly for that mistake.
Lake Matheson, New Zealand & New York, 1987.
Artfully Done? Hell, no! I was simply too stupid too keep used rolls of film carefully separated from fresh ones. As I had to get up before sunrise, hiked for hours around Lake Matheson to get this shot although I hate hiking, boy was I upset when this roll was develloped.
Tonal contrast and a bit of drama was added by means of Snapseed, overlay of frames on slide film accomplished by stupidity / double exposure.
Took me decades to start liking the result :-)

Impressive masterpiece by Frank Lloyd Wright. Worth a trip in you find yourself near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They do not allow pictures to be taken from the inside. Which I think is a mistake as I could be out there showing everyone around and promoting it for them. :)

After spending an hour in the cozy coffee shop, catching up with friends, you find yourself standing at a crosswalk as everyone leaves. The temperature has dropped significantly to 36°F since you left home and you realize that perhaps you should have dressed more warmly. Based on your body language and expression, you understand the mistake. #streetphotography

How did Taylors Mistake get its name?
An interesting piece of history and a remarkable set of coincidences I thought I would share with you. Not only one but THREE Captain Taylors are thought to have mistaken this beach for the Lyttelton Harbour entrance and ran aground here, all within the short space of 9 years.
1. In 1853 Captain Davidson on a barge named the Gwalior was sailing to Lyttelton, however suffering from Delirium Tremens (due to sudden alcohol withdrawal) he threw him self overboard, and control was passed to Chief Officer Taylor who is thought to have ran aground on the beach.
2. In 1858, Captain Taylor, no relation to the mate on the Gwalior, made the exact same mistake and wrecked his
vessel the Volga.
3. Even more astonishing, yet another Captain Taylor on 1864 repeated the same mistake in the American
schooner Catherine.
Perhaps anyone with the name Taylor should avoid the area...!

Happy Fence Friday!
Good morning my friends hope you are all ok. Today i can see many photos from my contacts, finally hope flickr stops to have so many bugs.
as usually is said every pic tells a story. This story is about my little dog filipão. he is very funny and loves to put himself inside all type of covers he find. For Christmas i got a new edredon for my deb that is very soft and very hot. Since then when we by mistake lett bed room open and he desappears we know where he hides himself. what a better place to be that sleeping inside edredom? I catch this picture when looking for him and he went out of bed edredon LOL:

I made a number of mistakes in taking this image but I think I managed to save it. I must be out of practice. Sunset on the coastline of the Moray Firth from Findochty.
Growing strawberries for the first time. Made the mistake of leaving the pots on the ground and lost a lot of new growth to rabbits.😡

When I design something, I usually send it to Jamie to get feedback and to make sure that I haven't made any glaring mistakes. In this case his response was simply "It's true." to which I responded "Have we met? Hi, I'm Bridget, and I do not require schooling on nerds."
Out of the ruins
Out from the wreckage
Can't make the same mistake this time
We are the children
The last generation
We are the ones they left behind
And, I wonder when we are ever gonna change, change
Living under the fear, 'til nothing else remains
We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond Thunderdome

La bandera de España que se establece por decreto del rey Carlos III en el año 1785 se designa par evitar en lo posible que barcos de países aliados no se atacaran entre ellos tras confundir las banderas aliadas con las de países enemigos.
Esto es lo que dice el decreto:
Para evitar los inconvenientes, y perjuicios, que ha hecho ver la experiencia puede ocasionar la Bandera nacional, de que usa mi Armada naval, y demas Embarcaciones Españolas, equivocándose á largas distancias, ó con vientos calmosos con las de otras Naciones; he resuelto, que en adelante usen mis Buques de guerra de Bandera dividida á lo largo en tres listas, de las que la alta, y la baxa sean encarnadas, y del ancho cada una de la quarta parte del total, y la de en medio amarilla, colocándose en esta el Escudo de mis Reales Armas reducido á los dos quarteles de Castilla, y Leon con la Corona Real encima; y el Gallardete con las mismas tres listas, y el Escudo á lo largo, sobre quadrado amarillo en la parte superior:
Y de las demas Embarcaciones usen, sin Escudo, los mismos colores, debiendo ser la lista de en medio amarilla, y del ancho de la tercera parte de la Bandera, y cada una de las restantes partes dividida en dos listas iguales encarnada, y amarilla alternativamente, todo con arreglo al adjunto diseño.
No podrá usarse de otros pavellones en los Mares del Norte por lo respectivo á Europa hasta el paralelo de Tenerife en el Océano, y en el Mediterraneo desde primero del año de mil setecientos ochenta y seis: en la América Septentrional desde principio de Julio siguiente; y en los demas Mares desde primero del año de mil setecientos ochenta y siete.
Tendréislo entendido para su cumplimiento. (Fuente: Wikipedia).
THE SPANISH FLAG BACKLIT, 2026
The flag of Spain, established by decree of King Charles III in 1785, was chosen to prevent ships of allied countries from attacking each other after mistaking allied flags for those of enemy nations.
This is what the decree states:
To avoid the inconveniences and damages that experience has shown can be caused by the national flag used by my naval Armada and other Spanish vessels, which can be mistaken at long distances or in calm winds for those of other Nations; I have resolved that henceforth my warships shall use a flag divided lengthwise into three stripes, of which the top and bottom shall be crimson, each a quarter of the total width, and the middle one yellow, with the coat of arms of my Royal Arms reduced to the two quarters of Castile and Leon with the Royal Crown above placed upon it; and the pennant with the same three stripes, and the coat or arms lengthwise on a yellow square in the upper part:
And other vessels shall use the same colors without the coat of arms, the middle stripe being yellow and one-third the width of the flag, and each of the remaining parts divided into two equal stripes, crimson and yellow alternately, all in accordance with the attached design.
No other ensigns may be used in the Northern Seas with respect to Europe up to the parallel of Tenerife in the Ocean, and in the Mediterranean from the first day of the year one thousand seven hundred eighty-six: in North America from the beginning of the following July; and in the other Seas from the first day of the year one thousand seven hundred eighty-seven.
You shall understand this for its compliance. (Source: Wikipedia)

And for the 52 in 2017 group. week#21 "SOOC"
Shot taken on May 23rd 2017.
I've just got two macro adapter rings for my Lensbaby Sweet 50, and I was trying them out. I use the Lensbaby in full Manual mode, and I had forgotten to change the White Balance for outdoor shots. It gave this shot of the apple blossom in the garden a slightly blue cast ... but I rather liked it. The Lensbaby is known for its 'sweet spot' of focus, and gentle blur all around - one of my favourite lens/optics.
SOOC I made no changes at all, only adding a signature.

Like when shooting in bright sunlight, then walking into the shade and forgetting to change your camera settings.
But occasionally it works out. It just might take a little more post-processing than usual.

The scientific name of White-tailed Eagle, albicilla, dates back to a mistake by a mediaeval writer misinterpreting ancient works as he translated from Greek to Latin. The original work was by Marcus Terentius Varro (116-27 BCE), a Roman polymath who called the wagtail Motacilla. This name translates as "little mover" from motare (Latin to move) with the ending being a diminutive. The translation error was made by Theodorus Gaza (c1398-1475) a Greek who translated the works of Ancient Greek writers such as Aristotle, into Latin. He thought that cilla must have meant tail as he used the word several times in his translations to Latin (eg Waxwing Bombycilla meaning silk tail, and ruticilla for Redstart, meaning red tail). Yet the Ancient Romans never used the word cilla for tail. Gaza coined the name Albicilla for White-tailed Eagle intending it to mean white-tailed, and Linnaeus used Gaza's name when he scientifically named it Falco albicilla in 1758. Linnaeus didn't know it at the time but DNA has revealed that Falcons and Eagles are not even closely related. The genus Haliaeetus was introduced by Marie Savigny in 1809 and that translates as sea eagle.
I took this adult White-tailed Eagle on Mull, showing off the distinctive white tail against a mountain background.
Went to a New Year's Day party yesterday and an ol' friend drove his 1941 Packard 160 Convertible to the party. The car has been utilized in several motion pictures and is restored to great condition. * I first posted the caption of this image as a 1951 Packard. I've corrected my typographic mistake in case any of you really care! lol
This past week I was taking some photos of a good friends’ horses on his farm. His intentions are to decorate his home with them, providing me with mega-tons of pressure to get some good shots. Every ounce self-inflicted!
Prior to departing for his farm, I cleaned lens’s, checked batteries and obtained a small bag of sliced carrots from the refrigerator…bait to get them to like me and to get those ears high in the air. They worked well in both respects…a little too well!
It has been many years since we owned a horse…and I had forgotten how much horses like carrots and how “friendly” they can become when you have them. Getting a distance away from them quickly became a problem as I would try to sneak away to get a shot, only to find all three of them right behind me. I certainly didn’t help myself with the carrots in my pocket, one camera on a strap over my shoulder set up for close up shots and another in my hand set up for wide angle shots…and in the other hand that a smart man would have kept empty, was a beer.
When a lifelong friend, maybe even one of the guys that you had your first beer with in middle school offers you a beer, you take it…not to mention the sailor in me that still exists who considers it a sin to turn down a beer with a friend! The beer ended up complicating things greatly as I would finally create some distance between us, get them in good light, set my beer down on uneven ground and try for a shot. And then this happened…
I had just jogged over from the fence line behind them to get a panoramic shot with the fall foliage behind them. When I sat my beer down, now half full, it tipped over and started to spill…another sailor sin. I quickly grabbed it and sat it back up. In that process, the top of the can filled with beer. I capture a few shots as they once again followed me across the pasture. Then, very unexpectantly, the horse on the left started drinking the beer off the top of my can. He threw his head back and started making a strange noise while doing this thing (as photographed) with his mouth.
While laughing out loud I took this shot and told him “Don’t worry fella, it’s not Bud Light!

Cathedral in the Desert is a stunning monument located in the heart of one of the most beautiful places on earth, Glen Canyon. Originally named for its natural resemblance to a cathedral, it has been buried nearly 100 feet under the flood-waters of Lake Powell reservoir since 1963. David Brower, then head of the Sierra Club, referred to this event as “America’s most regretted environmental mistake.”
With the extreme low water level of Lake Powell caused by the drought, we are so glad to visit this stunning spot. The red boat was the one took us to Reflection Canyon and tour in the lake Powell. 9 vertical images were merged in Photoshop 2021 to create this 274MB-size image.
BNSF 9277 heads west through Brainerd, MN with Superior coal empties back in March 2005. The 9277 was painted into H1 by mistake IIRC, but looked great to me. Lots of interesting consists could be put together by BNSF when DC ruled the northern coal trains. I chased this particular leader from Tamarack to Pillager on the Brainerd Sub.
The Northern Pacific Center owners had completed taking down a couple of buildings here allowing for clear shots of westbounds. The BNSF MofW shops are above the trailing Oakway. They remain open and have about 100 employees in Brainerd.
there are some mistake, which turns out to be better than intended. this is one of those. all i wanted to capture was the reflection of light on moving water in slow shutter.
just a jerk due to a sneeze (excuse me) turned out to be this :)
i waited a long time to publish this, then decided to go ahead.
i hope you sneezing part will not bother you, i guarantee that none of my sneezing is there in the picture, haha.
thank you for viewing it. i appreciate your kind words and thanks in advance.
