When I was coming home from work last week I spotted this awesome Blue Heron, so of course I had to pull over, hoping he would stay long enough for me to get a shot or two in. Well, to my surprise, he was more concerned with getting some dinner than me standing on the shore, as he continued "fishing" and then caught this little guy. I was so exceited to see this, I was like a little kid! LOL It was really interesting though and fun to watch. He walked a little further into the swamp and then swallowed the fish whole, turned around, went back in the water and resumed fishing.................maybe to get some dessert?? ;^)
Have a great week!
For those who have never seen Homer, please Google images for Homer Simpson and then take a glance briefly at the center of the pansy above. Hope you are enjoying your weekend as much as I am. :-)
Back for week 37, I did a fake snowflake shot with flickr snowflakes.
This week is the real thing. We just got our first real snowfall of the year with 9 cm of snow since the beginning of the day with more coming down as I'm writing this. Some people hate snow but I generally love it. And I really do love those great snow days with everything covered with snow and the snowfall covering the horizon.
Of course, it's not all fun. There will be sidewalks burried under all that snow and I'll have to use the stroller and make my way through the snow to go to daycare before going to work tommorow ;)
This is a cactus bloom..I chased this bee for almost an hour lol..

This image is in memory of my sister-in-law Karen who passed away yesterday morning. Karen battled with Emphysema and lost the fight.
Karen was a smoker and this was the cause of her respiratory difficulties. She was on oxygen for the past year and continued to smoke. Even as she lay dying, she asked for a cigarette. That's how strong the addiction is. I don't want to preach, but please, if you smoke give some serious thought to quitting. It may save you and your loved ones a lot of suffering. I am sorry if what I've said offends anyone, but in my profession, I have witnessed the effects of smoking and living in an environment with second hand smoke and the heartbreak that accompanies it. I hope you understand. I will now step down from my soapbox.
Have a good weekend!
I re-used the flickr tag I did for my 24 hours of flickr shot and stuck it on my electric toothbrush. My toothbrush rocks harder than ever, right?!
By the way, this is shaving cream I have in my mouth. I wanted to make my flash bounce in the bathroom sink but with that not-so-good taste in my mouth, I realized that I could just as well make my flash go directly at me and get that shaving cream off as quickly as possible.
I have posted images from this area before. This boat landing is located on the east end of Ashland where Chequamegon Bay goes into Lake Superior. In the background, you can see the break wall where the lighthouse is located in the bay.
'Bridal Veil Creek' Large On Black
I am still trying long exposures on waterfalls and there creeks. I think one of the biggest problems for me will be staying dry! This is the bottom creek of Bridal Veil Falls and this time of year Bridal Veil runs fast - waterfall spray is heavy.
Bridal Veil Falls is one of the many falls in the Columbia River Gorge which can be seen along the Historic Columbia River Highway east of Portland, Oregon. Bridal Veil Falls is a tiered falls on Bridal Veil Creek, with the upper falls dropping 60-100 feet and the lower falls dropping 40-60 feet. Bridal Veil Creek heads on Larch Mountain.

Somehow my four year anniversary on flickr sort of passed me by the other day. I had thought of it beforehand, then it just slipped my mind. Four years ago on the 16th of November, I started this photostream .
I went back to the very beginning, and looked at my images. While I would say that I produce more artful work now...more challenging pictures...I have deep appreciation for the beginnings. In fact, I started making public a bunch of stuff that went private, at the time I shut down that photostream. The reason for this, I guess, is because the pictures, although mundane and even trite, still feel very meaningful for me.
My old photostream is very life oriented...very personal. It's a journal, I think, and was a way for me to become acquainted with so many of you...a few of whom are now some of my dearest and closest friends. I go back sometimes, to help me remember what was going on at any given time...like when we ask, around the dinner table, "exactly where did we have Thanksgiving dinner in 2006??" It's kind of funny, really :)
Anyway...thanks for the company on the journey...for all the support and encouragement. I do believe this experience has not only helped me to become a better artist (if in fact that's what I am...I'm not fond of labels)...but a better, more compassionate person.
We are spending the day in Georgia and leaving for Florida in the morning. Denver really loves Florida weather so we will stay until Monday. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day! Thanks for everything ... Deb
This was taken on the first snow fall of the season. It's a nice contrast to the usual timid snow falls with no accumulation on the ground. We woke up with a few centimeters of snow on the groud: this was the real stuff (at least it was for 2 days).
Needless to say, she loved it. This love story might have its downs later in the season but on that day, it was the best.
She even cried a few tears the next day when she learned the snow would start melting away.
This is a thank you for my kind and thoughtful contacts who responded so wonderfully to me this week. You are special and so appreciated!
