from the evening walk
Looking through photos I took around town only a few years back, it surprises me how much has changed. I don't expect this view to change much more any time soon, but you never know.

This is a female wild River Otter. For years, they have found their way through the Sacramento (California) Delta rivers, and have made it to Two ponds in the Walnut Creek Open Space, where they repair their old den, usually have two pups, raise them, and then disappear for another eight months.
I'm not sure that they will be back this year. We have no fish here, and the Delta rivers and streams are dry or being sent elsewhere in the state. I won't get into the politics and some of the stupidity of our water regulations (like selling our water to bottled water companies which are then sold to Californians who don't know they're drinking their own tap water!). Sorry. I said I wouldn't get into that. I will say that, even if I was a gazillionaire, I'd still conserve. This is my fourth drought, but my second that has taken a toll on bird migration, nesting, etc.
P.S. This female otter (females are larger than males) image was one of Tom Blandford's favorites on SmugMug, and I thought it would be a good break until I'm able to hike into the hills and get some new shots of our wildlife.
مابنكسر صابر لو فرصتي تمضي
والحظ لو عاثر بصنع انا حظي
لو تنثر احلامي برجع ارتبها
ولو تصعب ايامي بعيش وما احسبها
يامسهل الدنيا مهما تعاندنا
عادي التعب عادي والهم هو ملحه
ولو مالحزن بادي مانفهم الفرحه
مابنكسر صابر لو فرصتي تمضي
والحظ لو عاثر بصنع انا حظي

An evening stroll around Bristol Docks snapping but not happy. Just about to go for a coffee and I saw this sad message chalked upon the dockside. It can’t have been there long with all the rain we have been having.

Greetings flickr fans! Many more uploads soon! I have been busy writing, traveling, and shooting! I finished my books on the Tao of Epic Landscape Photography and the Golden Number Ratio Principle! I oft incorporate the golden ratio in my landscape compositions, and you'll also see it in the design and proportion of the 45surf clothes and surfboard and gun logos (More golden ratio information at my facebook page facebook.com/goldennumberratio). Message me on facebook for free review copies of my books here: facebook.com/mcgucken ! :)
I'm working on a book on photographing epic goddesses too! What should I title it? :)
facebook.com/goldennumberratio
Full titles: The Tao of Epic Landscape Photography: Exalt Fine Art with the Yin-Yang Wisdom of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching.
And: The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Why the Fibonacci Numbers Exalt Beauty and How to Create PHI Compositions in Art, Design, & Photography: An Artistic and Scientific Introduction to the Golden Mean !
I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them! :)
Enjoy the epic landscape and goddess and photography and note the golden ratio overlays in some of the photos, as well as the golden ratio in the Birth of Venus painting by Botticelli!
I've been on the road shooting landscapes in Zion, Yosemite, the Eastern Sierras, Big Sur, and more!
Many of you have seen my physics formula dx4/dt=ic for Light Time Dimension Theory on a lot of the 45surf clothing and in the fine art landscape logos. I finally finished the first book of many on the foundations of photography's best friend--light:
Light Time Dimension Theory: The Foundational Physics Unifying Einstein's Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.
All the best on your epic hero's odyssey!

Was so fortunate to be able to photograph the epic Zion glow this year in the Narows and Zion National Park!
Lego Dan and Dot are ending their Highland adventure on a high note in a high place. Not that high though, Stac Pollaidh is only reaches 612m. But when your only about 4cm tall, that's like the equivalent of three Mount Everests... probably.
Dodgy maths aside, it's their opinion that Stac Pollaidh is the best 'little' mountain they've ever climbed - the Grade 3 scramble to the summit is awesome!
A little catch up today. Here's another new species though it has at least four that are quite similar. I don't know how it got its name. I'm just happy he was on that piece of straw long enough for me to focus. In a case like this, you know it's a damselfly. You look at the eyes (easier than for a dragon even from this perspective), the thorax, and the tail end. The tail ends of dragons and damsels have 20 or so variations and they are very telling.
The problem is that, if you have no macro lens* to get physically close, you have to be able to severely crop to get close enough to see whether the subgenital plat is ringed, Hudsonian, treeline, Quebec, lake, Whitehouse's, Muskeg and on and on. Better to just limite this to club, forktail, paddletailed, spiketailed, or baskettailed.
Anyway, I would have said Clubtail for this until I got very close and saw that it was a Forktail. And I went on from there.
*A macro lens would be great, but for the very small damselflies, you either have to get in the water with them, or try a telephoto/zoom lens and crop. That's why an ISO of 400 or more will be the default, and with [Canon] "powershots" that almost invariably will produce noise that is ... deafening.
Note: The name can be deceiving. The Diablo Valley (in which Walnut Creek and now two million people reside) are 25-30 miles east of San Francisco. Doesn't seem like much, does it? Separated from SF and the Bay by the Berkeley "hills" (mountains to people in the mid-west and east), the fog that often envelops the city by the Bay does not reach the three hot valleys surrounding the mountain. There can be - usually is - a 30 to even 40 degree difference. Imagine the differences in habitats with that temperature difference (and the -10 to -20 degree differences in winter). Basically, if you want to know what's here in a particular month, look up Coastal versus Valley. Several years ago, I had an appointment on the Peninsula (San Jose to SF): I came through the Caldecott Tunnel and the temperature went from 102 to 62 degrees. As I said...
Hiiii

This is Sundays run over to the mud cobra field ;-0
Note the color of the splash, that's Not mud color !
Heavy toxic laden foliage killers, such as
"Agent Orange", leaves a reddish color !
Last Sunday we only stayed 33 minutes
then came straight home and did a real
thorough decontamination scrub-down.
Might be awhile before we
return to the mud cobra field.
Sad, as I've been taking dogs
over there for about 11 years.
There's no other place 2 go !
Thanks for stopping by and a
big thanks 4 your support ;-)

Ricordi della cugina di papa'; quando il fidanzato, da Singapore, le inviava messaggi su cortolina postale. Gli altri oggetti, sono doni provenienti sempre da Singapore, come segno di amore e di fedelta'.
Note that these images were essentially duplicated from slides shot a good 20 years ago, so the camera and exposure information shown does not reflect that from when the image was originally captured.
FYI; This was one of my favorite slides, so I went back and cleaned the slide and did it over. The other one looks a bit better. Don’t know how to link to it here...
First view:
"From row 16 backward / the prices are USD 60 / and it is advised / to bring binoculars / to see the pianist strike / the chords. // It should be memorized / that Strawinski Igor, / once played the piano / though only three notes."
Second view:
"These words were found on a have digested sheet of paper: 'In a forlorn barnyard / I found some conserved wooden boards / that by adjustment with my jigsaw / delivered dozens of identical elements. // By repetitive fixing on iron threads / these small bats / via parts of felt / can hit other woven metal threads.
The whole assemblage / I feel can be used to play minimal musix. Preliminary name is a pianola'.
With some difficulty, I think the signature reads Carl Bechstein"
