EXPLORE # 2!
I took this photo during my 5-day backpacking trip in High Sierra: from Onion Valley to Rae Lakes.
My team of 8 hiked about 40 miles, including going through tough Glen Pass 11798 ft (3596 m) and Kearsarge Pass 11760 ft (3550 m)
This was taken at evening before spending very first night near Matlock Lake. I walked around lake at evening - and took a number of macro shots with frogs and flowers. And I took this beautiful sunset photos of near-by Flower Lake.The whole trip was amazing, opening my eyes at beauty of high mountains filled with dozens and dozens of alpine lakes...It was not easy to carry a 40-pound backpack and climb high elevation passes while the air is so thin, but it was worh the effort and I surely will return here again

We zijn aangekomen in Buka. Dit is een eilandje ietsje ten noorden van Bougainville,
een buurprovincie van de Solomon eilanden in de stille zuidzee, en je merkt hier dan ook invloeden van dit land in de gebruiken en tradities. De mensen zijn donker van huidskleur.
Vrouwen zijn heel fier op hun halskettingen van geslepen schelpjes. Dit is een huwelijkscadeau. Lichaamsbeschilderingen worden zelden toegepast. Bij speciale gelegenheden dragen ze fel gekleurde borststukjes en rokjes van een soort raffia, gedroogde bladeren.
We worden ontvangen door een lokale stam. Er volgt een aangename begroeting, en onze voeten worden besprenkeld. Dit is hun welkomstgroet.

Buka Island is the second largest island in the Papua New Guinean province of Bougainville.
Buka is situated on Buka Island, Bougainville Province, Papua New Guinea. It has been the capital of the province during the Bougainville civil war. The former, or proper capital of Bougainville, Arawa was all but destroyed in 1990 as tensions reached a critical level in a civil uprising.
Buka today is a bustling, peaceful town, detached by water from the main island Bougainville, and the much publicized tension there.
I've not done anything like this in a while. Also, Alice is my favourite character to dress up (badly) as.
Well the whole day started with us getting there and going through a 1& 1/ 2 hour talk on what to do and not do when you went in with the wolves. They are wild but they are ok with people being in with them as long as you do nothing stupid.
Monty, Gail, and Pat were in with us the whole time and at one point I had three wolves surrounding me wanting to be scratched behind the ear. It was incredible. Valerie and Tony were there also. I will put up links to their streams tonight.
Oh and I will put up pics of the staff with the wolves also. I am in Atlanta waiting for my husband to get out of work. Talk to you all later tonight.
A difficult time of the year to be a photographer in this part of the world, but you make do with what you got. Here, I liked the light on the pole and its reflections in the water, then it was a matter of composing it with the edge of the ice.
I know, you thought the next shot I was going to post was going to be The Subway. Psyc!
Actually, my Subway shot is still rendering...I took a massive multi-row pano of it with a 100mm lens and the shots are all loaded up on a G5 with 16gb of RAM and that thing has been crunching those images for nearly 6 hours...I don't see any smoke yet so I think it's just very busy stitching. I hope.
Anway, in the meantime I thought I'd post one of my favorite shots from my time in Colorado -- Old Crystal Mill. This place is very remote, requiring a 4x4 type vehicle to access. What an amazing landscape, I thouroughly enjoyed my time at Crystal Mill. I arrived in the early morning on a one-way jeep drop-off (even though I knew afternoon would provide the best light) and spend the entire day scouting around it, eating lunch and just relaxing. It was awesome.
So the afternoon light did not disapoint and I shot Crystal Mill from every angle imaginable, settling on this classic vantage point. With the last of the blue sky almost out of sight I realized it was about time to leave. Since I'd only paid for a one-way jeep ride I had a 7 mile hike ahead of me to get back to the MoHo (aka Motorhome).
Suddenly, I turn to a familiar face, Mike Jones. Now I have to say, of all the times I've shot with Mike I never really felt "glad" to see him, though he is a kick in the pants, however this time I was GLAD.
Very glad.
My first words were "Mike, did you drive your truck here?!" Not "Oh hey Mike, good to see you..." or "Mike, how funny to run into you WAY out here...".
No. My first words were a plea of "can-I-get-a-ride-out-with-you so I don't have to hike 7 miles over rocky terrain..." camouflaged with "If you've got room in your truck it would be fun to catchup..."
He didn't buy it and my look of desperation likely was enough...he said "sure".
I did give him $20 and a big thanks at the other end before we headed off in different directions.
Thanks again Mikey!

Another experiment with my shadow on the frothy leading edge of waves rolling onto a sandy Brazilian beach. I really liked how the movement in the waves emphasized the swirling movement of my sarong as I was walking in the wind. Praia de Itapoá - Itapoá (SC), Brazil
Have a wonderful Friday and thank you for visiting.
-----
"Non avrai altro Dio all'infuori di me" spesso mi hai fatto pensare.
Genti diverse venute dall'Est dicevano che in fondo era uguale:
Credevano ad un altro diverso da te, non mi hanno fatto del male,
credevano ad un altro diverso da te, non mi hanno fatto del male.
Non nominare il nome di Dio, non nominarlo invano.
Con un coltello piantato nel fianco gridai la mia pena ed il suo nome:
ma forse era stanco, forse troppo occupato, non ascoltò il mio dolore;
ma forse era stanco, forse troppo lontano, davvero lo nominai invano.
Onora il padre ed onora la madre, e onora anche il loro bastone:
bacia la mano che ruppe il tuo naso perche' le chiedevi un boccone.
Quando a mio padre si fermò il cuore, non ho provato dolore,
quando a mio padre si fermò il cuore, non ho provato dolore.
Ricorda di santificare le feste, facile per noi ladroni,
entrare nei templi che rigurgitan salmi di schiavi e dei loro padroni,
senza finire legati agli altari sgozzati come animali,
senza finire legati agli altari sgozzati come animali.
Il quinto dice "non devi rubare", e forse io l'ho rispettato
vuotando in silenzio le tasche già gonfie di quelli che avevan rubato:
ma io senza legge rubai in nome mio, quegli altri nel nome di Dio,
ma io senza legge rubai in nome mio, quegli altri nel nome di Dio.
Non commettere atti che non siano puri, cioè non disperdere il seme...
Feconda una donna ogni volta che l'ami così sarai uomo di fede,
poi la voglia svanisce ed il figlio rimane e tanti ne uccide la fame.
Io forse ho confuso il piacere e l'amore ma non ho creato dolore.
Il settimo dice "non ammazzare se del cielo vuoi essere degno":
guardatela oggi questa legge di Dio tre volte inchiodata nel legno.
Guardate la fine di quel Nazzareno, un ladro non muore di meno!
Guardate la fine di quel Nazzareno, un ladro non muore di meno!
Non dire falsa testimonianza ed aiutali ad uccidere un uomo...
Lo sanno a memoria il diritto Divino, ma scordano sempre il perdono.
Ho spergiurato su Dio e sul mio onore e no non ne provo dolore,
ho spergiurato su Dio e sul mio nome e no non ne provo dolore.
Non desiderare la roba degli altri, non desiderarne la sposa...
Ditelo a quelli, chiedetelo ai pochi che hanno una donna e qualcosa...
Nei letti degli altri già caldi d'amore non ho provato dolore.
L'invidia di ieri non è già finita, stasera v'invidio la vita.
Ma adesso che viene la sera ed il buio, mi toglie il dolore dagli occhi.
E scivola il sole al di là delle dune a violentare altre notti:
io nel vedere quest'uomo che muore, madre io provo dolore;
nella pietà che non cede al rancore, madre ho imparato l'amore.
(Fabrizio de Andrè, Il testamento di Tito)

Female: 46 - 52mm
Checklist Number
59.009
Family:NymphalidaeRafinesque, 1815
Subfamily:SatyrinaeBoisduval, 1833
Tribe:ManioliniGrote, 1897
Genus:AphantopusWallengren, 1853
Subgenus:
Species:hyperantus(Linnaeus, 1758)
Introduction
This is a relatively-common butterfly that is unmistakable when seen at rest - the rings on the hindwings giving this butterfly its common name. The uppersides are a uniform chocolate brown that distinguish this butterfly from the closely-related Meadow Brown. Despite this uniformity, a newly-emerged adult is a surprisingly beautiful insect, the velvety wings providing a striking contrast with the delicate white fringes found on the wing edges. The dark colouring also allows this butterfly to quickly warm up - this butterfly being one of the few that flies on overcast days.
Variation in this butterfly is primarily focused on the rings on the hindwings, the lanceolata aberration being particularly striking, where the rings are elongated to form teardrops. Other aberrations occur where the rings are greatly reduced or completely absent. Huggins (1959) also describes a form in Kerry, Ireland, that is of normal size until 600 feet, when it starts to be replaced by a dwarf form that, at 1,000 feet, takes over completely.
This butterfly can be found throughout most of the British Isles, south of a line between the South Ebudes in the west and Banffshire in the east. It is also absent from the western parts of northern England, north-west of the Midlands, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. This butterfly forms discrete colonies where numbers vary from a few dozen to several thousand.
Aphantopus hyperantus
This species was first defined in Linnaeus (1758)
Conservation Status
This is one of the few species that is doing well, with evidence of increases in both distribution and population. It is not, therefore, a priority species for conservation efforts.
Habitat
A variety of habitats is used, although sites characterised as being sheltered and damp are preferred, such as woodland clearings, woodland edges and rides, meadows, hedgerows, road verges and country lanes, where the full heat from the summer sun can be avoided and where the foodplant is lush. The butterfly is not typically found in open areas, such as grassland or heathland.
Life Cycle
There is one generation each year, with adults emerging in the second half of June, peaking in mid-July, with a few individuals continuing into August. The flight period is relatively-short when compared with its close relatives.
Imago
Male and female are almost identical in appearance, although it is just possible to make out the feintest of sex brands on the forewings of the male, which contains special scent scales used in courtship. Males adopt an exclusive strategy of patrolling for mates and are often seen in ones and twos fluttering among the grasses that typify their habitat.
A mated female lays her eggs in a somewhat-chaotic fashion, typically perched on a grass stem and ejecting a single egg at random, often into the air, causing it to land in the vegetation. Both sexes take nectar from a variety of sources, Bramble and Thistle being particular favourites.
Adults feed primarily on Bramble (Rubus fruticosus), Fleabane (Pulicaria dysenterica), Hemp Agrimony (Eupatorium cannabinum), Kidney Vetch (Anthyllis vulneraria), Marjoram (Origanum vulgare), Privet (Ligustrum vulgare), Ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) and Thistles (Cirsium spp. and Carduus spp.).
Ovum
Eggs are a pale yellow when first laid, but soon turn a pale brown. The stage lasts between 2 and 3 weeks.
Larva
The larva is nocturnal and hides by day at the base of a grass tussock, emerging at night to feed on the tenderest parts of the foodplant. The larva hibernates while in the 3rd instar, but will feed on particularly warm evenings during the winter. Regular feeding resumes in the spring when the larvae can be found by torchlight feeding on grass stems, although they will fall to the ground with the slightest disturbance. There are 4 moults in total.
The primary larval foodplants are Cock's-foot (Dactylis glomerata), Common Couch (Elytrigia repens), False Brome (Brachypodium sylvaticum), Meadow-grasses (various) (Poa spp.) and Tufted Hair-grass (Deschampsia cespitosa).
Pupa
The pupa is formed in a flimsy cocoon, comprising just a few strands of silk, at the base of a grass tussock. This stage lasts around 2 weeks.
How could I pass up face painting day?

I have not used face paint in a while, so I just had to participate. I painted my whole face up and my stinking camera was having some issues, I was paranoid that I was going to break out from having all this stuff on my face. It all worked out. I really need to shower, I washed it all off, but I still feel icky.
Well I am off to shower and do some running around I have been putting off. Hope everyone has a great Saturday night!!!!
Oh and I was planning on smiling today because Pimp and Ali were bustin my chops yesterday, but I would of looked like a freak with a big ole smile on my face... AHHAHA some other day!!
Le api sono una vera e propria palestra per chi si confronta con la macrofotografia. Se da un lato sono soggetti molto comuni da fotografare, dall'altro - per la loro estrema mobilità - pongono non pochi problemi per la messa a fuoco!!!
Al Bombus terrestris piace caldo ---->> una ricerca pubblicata diverso tempo fa sulla prestigiosa rivista scientifica Nature ha svelato una peculiarità davvero inaspettata dei bombi (Bombus terrestris) e di altri insetti impollinatori.
Per questi piccoli insetti, una corretta amministrazione delle energie diventa fondamentale per mantenere una buona autonomia, in grado di assicurare non solo il volo da fiore a fiore, ma anche un ritorno rapido e sicuro al favo. L’evoluzione ha quindi premiato quegli esemplari maggiormente predisposti a conservare energia, selezionando nuove generazioni costituite da elementi sempre più efficienti e autonomi.
Secondo il gruppo di entomologi che ha curato la ricerca, nel loro alacre lavoro di raccolta del polline, i bombi prediligono i fiori dalle corolle più calde, che consentono a questi insetti di spendere meno energie per mantenere alta la loro temperatura corporea.
Sempre secondo la ricerca pubblicata su Nature, questa curiosa predilezione dei bombi e di altre specie di api avrebbe spinto alcune specie di fiori a sviluppare particolari forme e colori per mantenere più a lungo il calore, rendendosi così più invitanti per gli insetti impollinatori in grado di riconoscere proprio dalla colorazione i fiori più caldi.

I am aware that this flag symbolizes many things to many people across the globe, and that not all of it would be considered good.
However, for me it symbolizes the fact that 232 years ago today a courageous group of men decided to risk all to create a better life for themselves and their families.
I don't believe that America's best days are behind us - and I am reminded when I view this flag fluttering in front of our house that the United States still can be the shining city on the hill that has beckoned so many millions over the last two centuries.
I am proud to be an American.

One of the rollerbladers last night in the Grand Palais, doing a grind on a metallic railing . No special effects here, this is straight out of the camera :-)
If you look closely (easier with large size), you can see the 2 dark silhouettes of the skater still jumping onto the rail a moment before, and sliding a moment after. I'm not sure what caused this, might be a combination of my own flash and someone's else on the other side I think ?

All of the letters and everything are actual artifacts from my family in the early 1900's. My mom and I stumbled across them when cleaning out the attic. As soon as we opened the box it had that antique smell and I couldn't resist taking a photo including them.
It was so fun learning about my great-great-grandparents and all their stories in a completely different lifetime!
I have much more from this shoot with Emily to upload, it's just my family and I went to Pigeon Forge and stayed in a cabin without any Wifi! It was torture, but the beauty of the wilderness pretty much made up for it! :)
This was my view on my drive to work on the morning of Monday, 20 November 2006 at about 7.15 am. Some things just need to be photographed.

Para un momento inolvidable, una de las canciones de amor más bellas que conozco... Leed la letra si podéis...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Te amaré, te amaré como al mundo
Te amaré aunque tenga final
Te amaré, te amaré en lo profundo
Te amaré como tengo que amar.
Te amaré, te amaré como pueda
Te amaré aunque no sea la paz
Te amaré, te amaré lo que queda
Te amaré cuando acabe de amar
Te amaré, te amaré si estoy muerto
Te amaré al día siguiente además
Te amaré, Te amaré como siento
Te amaré con adiós, con jamás.
Te amaré, Te amaré junto al viento
Te amaré como único ser
Te amaré hasta el fin de los tiempos
Te amaré y después te amaré.
_______________________Te amaré, Silvio Rodríguez_______________
The Cathedral-Basilica of Cefalù, (Italian: Duomo di Cefalù) is a Roman Catholic church in Cefalù, Sicily, southern Italy.
The cathedral, dating from 1131, was commenced in the Norman style, the island of Sicily having been conquered by the Normans in 1091. According to tradition, the building was erected after a vow made to the Holy Saviour by the King of Sicily, Roger II, after he escaped from a storm to land on the city's beach. The fortress-like character of the building, which, seen from a distance, rises as a huge bulk above its medieval town, may in part reflect the vulnerability of the site to attack from the sea. It also made a powerful statement of the Norman presence.
Numerous changes were made over succeeding centuries and the edifice was never entirely completed.
The flat hill in the distance is a marvelous formation that can be recognised from miles away. Just to the south of it is located the historic 77 ranch first owned by Peck and Converse. Mike Shonsey of the Johnson County Range War was employed by the 77 ranch. www.wheeler-roots.org/histories/history-shonsey.php
In his book,The long trail from Texas, Ad Spaugh talks of burying a couple children who live with thier mother in a cabin east of Flat Top that took sick and died. They were buried on a pine knoll nearby Flat Top by a crew of sad cowboys.
My Grandmother who knew Ad and sadly recalled visiting with him about the burial. She told me of it before I had ever read the book many years later. Exciting and hard times...

L'Obelisco Lateranense è uno dei tredici obelischi antichi di Roma; attualmente si trova a piazza San Giovanni in Laterano.
Con la sua altezza di 32,18 m (con il basamento e la croce raggiunge i 45,70 m.) è l'obelisco più alto del mondo.
Fu realizzato all'epoca dei faraoni Tutmosis III e Tutmosis IV (XV secolo a.C.) e proviene dal tempio di Ammone a Tebe (Karnak) in Egitto. Fu portato a Roma per volere dell'imperatore Costanzo II nel 357 ed eretto dal praefectus urbi Memmio Vitrasio Orfito sulla spina del Circo Massimo, dove già si trovava l'obelisco Flaminio.
Venne ritrovato in tre pezzi nel 1587, insieme all'obelisco Flaminio, e fu eretto nella sua attuale collocazione nel 1588 dall'architetto Domenico Fontana per volontà di papa Sisto V.

He is an artist, the best that I came across, who absorbs his thoughts through apertures, mesmerizes his viewers with each shutter click and paints his pictures with the grandeur mix of light and shadow. In his spirit he stands tall beyond anything. He is a man I consider a mentor, and a man I know to be a friend.
Folks years come and then they end, but the memories we build up last forever. In many ways 2011 is going to be one of those years for me that will define me for years to come. I hope you will all have a blissful and progressive 2011.

We have seen this many times in different ways and this is my version.
It has become a popular tourist attraction since it was featured as Scaramanga's Island in the James Bond movie The Man with the Golden Gun in 1974.
Not much editing has been done other than colour blending.
Trivia
Very less people knows the actual name of this island. It is called Koh Tapu in Thai which means ''nail hill''. Source: Wikipedia
AHH. It's winter. I did not expect it to come this quickly! It's been so cold, so I'm hiding in scarves, and Skyrim. It's crazy, I went outside to take a picture, and had to run inside and get a scarf and warmer jacket.
This happened.
My hair is also a really light blue, now, I loove it! I might try to put a baby-blue dye over it, though. :3
Also, the texture I put over it was a picture of sparkling snow, that I took when it snowed for two weeks last winter~ <3
Also, Kaskade's album "Fire & Ice" is amazing. So, listen to this.

Please take my heart... Love that band and that song so much, the lyrics are beautiful, heard it again this morning on the TV, don't know why but it speaks a lot to me.
So I decided to get back on the idea of choosing a music first, and then realize some picture using the inspiration I found. I think it's the most difficult but exciting way to play with lyrics.
So that's what happened today, I decided to use this song and that's the idea I found for today's shot.
This is the Saint Catherine street, just the longest pedestrian street of Europe in the deep center of Bordeaux.
There's always so much people and shops over there, it's amazing.
Spent a great afternoon with my friend Julien, thanks to him for the picture !
One thing you don't know is how much this picture and the concept illustrate perfectly Julien's yesterday !
It's really too funny, the composition and the picture is relatively simple but I'm really proud of this one.

My bird mosaic I did for impressed beauty had a comment from this person www.flickr.com/photos/fret/ Now the reason I am doing this is because I do not nor have I ever stolen. I am very proud of my work and I love what I do. I will not go hide in a corner while some A$@hole accuses me of stealing. I really loath nasty people. Go ahead keep accusing me....my challenge to you is PROVE IT!!! THIS IS MY WORK AND ONLY MY WORK~
Explored June 13, 2010 & Front Page - Thank you all so much!
This shot was done for MACRO MONDAYS' theme of 'looking up'.
The title is a reference to the Paramore song 'Looking Up'.
My favourite of my Macro Monday shots this week is something to look up to - please take a look if you haven't already - it is one of those shots where the thumbnail doesn't do it justice!
