Last week sometime, there was some activity on an old photo from a few years back. So I went to the photo and looked at some of the contacts and saw a name of a lady I had not seen in my stream for some time.
So I visited her stream to see what she had been up to knowing that sometimes people just stop posting for some reason or another. Someone commented that she had passed away and I immediately felt saddened. I realize that we have only small relationships here. But I do know some small things about my contacts and what you like to shoot and basically where you live.
I was upset with myself for having forgotten her or not noticing. I have been bothered all week that a year or more have gone by and I wish I had of known.
Yet her stream is there. This I love.

Good night.
Brickworks, Toronto, Canada.
That year the fall was very “slow”. I visited Brickworks many times trying to track its development and the change. On one morning things just came together. There was a bit of morning fog, the early sunlight was gentle and there were still few leaves which contrasted nicely with the yellowed grasses.

Got to go out early tonight, so If don't get to you today I will tomorrow. In the meantime, HBW!

I invite you to visit my Workers album ".
It was a soft gray day near the California coastal town of Montera. A field of agapanthus were looking quite grand as they flaunted their colorful flowers against the gun metal gray of the ocean. A trifecta of artists were diligently working, attempting to capture the landscape on their easels. I felt a little guilty about how easy it was for me to memorialize the scene with my camera, while the artists had to work so hard. I'm guessing none of them saw it as hard work at all. Sure wish I could paint a lick.

The St. Louis Blues won their first ever Stanley Cup championship in professional ice hockey over the Boston Bruins. Named after Lord Stanley of Preston, Governor General of Canada who enjoyed ice hockey, the silver cup has been present annually since 1892 -- and from the Blues' first season in 1967 until now, St Louis had never won. A great weekend to everyone!

I used a shallow DOF when trying to capture this piece of ice. It gave the image a more artistic painterly effect. The background was quite busy so this seemed like a good way to deal with that. Although I love the winter blues, I quite like the earth tones in this one. Spending time just exploring close to home and this is a wonderful escape from real life events, making the most of current restrictions.
Today I have been experimenting with taking painterly photos, but I have been struggling to get the aperture low enough so the results aren't quite what I was expecting.
