The historic Curly Phillips Boathouse floating nicely below Leah Peak on a windy day. Taken on last day of the season at Maligne Lake.
"Donald Nelson "Curly" Phillips was a Canadian guide, outfitter, entrepreneur, and explorer who was a part of many pioneering expeditions in the northern Canadian Rockies in the early twentieth century. He settled in Jasper, Alberta, and was involved in the development of mountain tourism in the region.
He built the historic boathouse in 1928 to accommodate the guests of his hunting and fishing trips. To boost his business, he raised the Maligne Lake rainbow trout, which he transported in barrels to Maligne Lake. Until his sudden death in an avalanche in 1936, he lived and dwelt in the boat house, which is now run by the Maligne Lake Tours." Wiki
Have a fabulous Friday and wonderful weekend!
Pleione orchids series. An attractive Pleione is the last that come to bloom out of 9 hybrids we’ve got early February and probably most handsome looking one. It was labelled Pleione speciose ‘Blakeway Philips’ (also known as Pln. pleionoides ‘Blakeway Philips’). This is not a registered hybrid accepted by the RHS. Some sites list it as a clone of variable appearance and Google images were not helpful in finding what flowers should look like – thrill of the unknown. Here is our ‘version’ of Pleione 'Blakeway Phillips', and it’s still growing. Pleione orchids are miniature orchids with large flowers that in the wild grow on foothills and in mountain areas of East and South East countries. Common names include Peacock orchids thank to large showy flowers or Windowsill orchids due to small plant sizes. Native names include Glory of the East, Himalayan crocus, Indian crocus. 362 different garden hybrids are registered officially by the RHS.
The fog was so dense on that Monday (until after 2pm) that you could not see the waves first breaking until you paddled out.
Cape Woolamai Beach, Phillip Island.

Port Phillip Bay sketched from Scotchman's Road on the Bellarine Peninsula. Melbourne CBD across the bay.
New Raymer, Colorado
The town was originally known as Raymer but was changed to New Raymer in 1910. Lots of folks still refer (or did) to it as Raymer.
The original image is an ICM from Phillip Island, with a texture added and some other playful elements. It just evolved. It is one of those ones I'm not sure about but I am putting it up anyway. Been listening to Mr Dylan alot so the quote is there.
Spanish Boots of Spanish Leather is a really beautiful song. Thought to be written about one of his very early loves, Suzie Rotolo who was travelling in Europe at the time while he was left behind.
May 2025 be filled with all that you love- especially the music.
Melbourne, AUSTRÀLIA 2023
Nobbies is a famous area on Phillip Island, near Melbourne, Australia, known for its stunning coastal landscape and wildlife. Located at the western tip of the island, it offers spectacular views of the ocean and erosion-formed rocks. It is home to a large seal colony, and from the Nobbies Centre lookout, visitors can observe them in their natural habitat. Seabirds and, during certain times of the year, little penguins can also be seen. The area is perfect for walking along coastal trails and enjoying nature. The rock formation The Nobbies is an iconic spot, with panoramic views of the sea and nearby islands. The visitor center provides information about local wildlife and the island's history. Nobbies is a popular destination for nature lovers and photographers. The tranquility of the place and its untouched surroundings make it a unique spot on the island.
I've been wanting to shoot this gas station for quite sometime. It rarely has patrons in the night which makes it that more appealing to have a few minutes to frame it the way I want to. I've messed around a little lightroom till I found this finished product. Driving by these gas pumps I had envisioned what the final shot would look like. I toyed around with a monochrome version but in the end I left the classic color of their branding.

Marble told Phillip "to hold on tight". Phillip thought she said "have a happy flight". Bears tend to have a lot of fluff in their ears.
Full moon night. But moonrise about two hours after sunset. So just enough time to capture some stars. Guess the glow on the horizon is left over from sunset. Amazing how long it takes to completely disappear. Probably longer than two hours. Of course it would be nice to think it's the Aurora Australis. I doubt that.
Processing technique:
9x 15s ISO640 14mm F2.8 images.
1. Open as layers in PS
2. Mask out the land and copy mask to all;
3. Group into "sky" group;
4. Duplicate that group and make a "land" group;
5. Auto align the nine images in the sky group;
6. Delete all the masks in the sky group;
7. Convert to smart object;
8. Blend-mode Median;
Now do the land group: invert the masks and do same as above.
Finish by blending the two groups together.
I finally made time to explore the Phillips Creek waterfall at Salt Point State Park. While Sonoma County has been bestowed with rainfall, the waters of Phillips Creek are relatively calm. I need to visit the falls after a large storm. I have a feeling I'll be visiting this spot many times in the future.

A gem I found on a Bladen County backroad two weekends ago. And actually, I would have never found this if the road my GPS was telling me to take hadn't been washed away during Hurricane Matthew -- I saw a road closed ahead sign, took a right, and found this.

Spotted Phillip Torrone from Make Magazine in the crowd. I would have said hi but he seemed preoccupied with his cell phone and when I turned back around he was gone. We had dinner together with Microsoft exec Jim Allchin earlier this year. A creative and interesting guy.
