For Those Who May Have Missed Yesterdays Up-Load ~
There were many, many reasons I recently took a long break from flickr, some family, some health, but I guess the bottom line was that I had become bored with single shot posting ! A flower shot is a flower shot, a portrait is a portrait and there is nothing wrong in doing them, (I have many in my photo'stream) but the same cannot be said about any photograph that has some form of action as its theme, or a background story ! I don't think any of my recent photograph posting would have been the same had it just consisited of one photo ' ! My break also remined me that the real core of flickr is about photo' sharing and commenting and not an obsession about FP and/or Explore ! So I make no apology for wanting to share my photographs in flickr, as that is why I' m here, and if people wish to recipropcate thats fine by me, and if they don't, that's fine by me too ! I' m 63 years old and as each day goes by my life expectancy decreases ! If you have read this, then a huge thank you, agreement or dis-agreement is a part of life ~ tomorrow is another day !

Ne volim januar i bele zimske vragove
U svakom snegu vidim iste tragove
Tragove malih stopa, broj 30 i ko zna
Kako polako odlaze.
Vise ne prolazim ulicom Dositejevom
I nemam pojma kad neko pita gde je to
Tih 206 koraka, duzinom tog sokaka
Nikada nisam brojao
Nisam te nikad cuvao
Nisam te nikada mazio, pazio
Tvoju sam ljubav gazio, svemu smisljao broj.
Nisam te nikad stedeo
I nisam umeo stati i ostati
Sta ce od mene postati
Mali andjele moj.

a Pitigliano ci arrivi attraverso una tortuosa strada immersa fra le dolci colline toscane, e, di colpo, dietro a una mezza curva, te la ritrovi davanti, restando senza fiato.
Questa cittadina è uguale da secoli: un dedalo di vicoli che si susseguono, vicoli certe volte talmente stretti che una persona fa fatica a passarci.
Qui ogni epoca ha lasciato un segno: etrusca, romana e medievale.
Qui ogni popolo ha scavato il tufo creando una città sotto la città: cunicoli, pozzi, tombe, cantine, colombari.
da Wikipedia:
Pitigliano è un caratteristico borgo della Maremma grossetana, unico nel suo genere per la particolarità di essere costruito interamente su di un masso tufaceo, ciò lo rende uno dei luoghi più interessanti dell'area del tufo.
Il paese si eleva su un pianoro formato dai corsi d'acqua Lente, Meleta e Prochio, è certamente uno dei centri artistici più belli della Toscana e d'Italia La cittadina conserva vari monumenti di interesse artistico che spaziano dall'epoca medievale al Settecento.
Fondato dai Romani nei pressi di vicine necropoli e insediamenti etrusche delimitati da mura, divenne nel Medioevo possesso della famiglia Aldobrandeschi; alla fine del Duecento il centro venne ereditato dagli Orsini e diventò la capitale dell'omonima contea sotto la quale rimase fino agli inizi del Seicento, quando venne conquistato dai Medici che lo inglobarono nel Granducato di Toscana nel 1604.
Pitigliano è nota anche come "la piccola Gerusalemme" per la presenza di una sinagoga e di una comunità ebraica piuttosto numerosa che da sempre riuscì a trovare un'ottima integrazione con la popolazione locale.
Not the ideal time of day for waterfalls the sun to high in the sky but it is my only day off work this week - the gardening or................A last minute trek with Rob :-) no contest - but its a tough trek and it hurt :-) i will get here one day before the sun rises .Its my favourite of all the waterfalls and not really happy with any of the shots ive got .
This waterfall is the least visited for a reason its a hard climb down and even tougher to get back up :-( its not dangerous like Sgwd isaf clun gwyn it just steep and the steps are a killer .
one or two obstacles to climb through , not the best time to go waterfalls for photography but this is one of my fav's a tough trek that hurt.
This is the least visited waterfall not many actually are aware is there .

After two months of volcano eruptions in Iceland, Fimmvörðuháls from March 21 - April 13. and then Eyjafjallajökull from April 14 to May 23. Many great adventures and phototrips, I finally got the change do do what I really love about photograpy, SEASCAPES!.
The sunset and clouds were not so dramatic this weekend, but I also like seascapes during "blue hour" and minimalism scenes. The natural rock sculptures Reynisdrangar, at Vik in Myrdal, are usually been photographed from the other side, the eas side, so I prefer the west side of them. The waves on this coastline in Reynisfjara area often huge, and sometimes deadly, but on this night however the ocean was strangely calm, my boots got flushed anyway but that's a different story.

Well... It's a dark rainy day... But... I have some exciting news to share. In fact, I got no sleep last night and couldn't work on school today because of the excitement. I hope I don't die of an excitement heart attack, because that would really suck at this moment.
See that doggy? Sparky? My best friend? You're lookin' at a dog entering into the world of fame. Sparky has just been officially named (and I'm serious) CANADA'S MOST INCREDIBLE SMALL DOG. Of course, I always knew he was Canada's Most Incredible Small Dog, but now the rest of Canada will know it too. ;) Sparky just won $5,000, as well as $750 worth of dog food (we will be donating lots of the money and dog food to our local dog shelter), and we're already getting contacted by agencies and shows (such as Animal Planet), and my goodness, everything is just going so fast right now it's like a dream!!! It all started with a new video we submitted into a contest, you can see Sparky showin' off his talent HERE (also includes me lookin' and dancin' like a major dork)!!!
I am just too excited, I had to share the news with you all! :)

I'LL REMEMBER YOU
I'll remember you
Long after this endless summer is gone
I'll be lonely oh so lonely
Living only to remember you
I'll remember too
Your voice as soft as the warm summer breeze
Your sweet laughter, mornings after
Ever after, Ooooh, I'll remember you
To your arms someday I'll return to stay
Till then...
The Wave is a spectacular sandstone formation on the slopes of the Coyote Buttes in the beautiful and rugged Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness, … just south of the Utah-Arizona border about halfway between Kanab, Utah and Page, Arizona.
This incredible formation can be reached by hiking approximately 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) across rugged, trailless landscape, making the round-trip to and from The Wave a nearly 6-mile (9.7-kilometer) hike that climbs about 350 feet (107 meters) in altitude [sic]. The area can be really hot in summer (100 F +), so it is best to start the hike early. --from Wiki
Well, my friend and I hiked this late, staying over sunset in The Wave. It is an incredibly beautiful area, and I'd love to get back there.
Hiking back through the darkness was pretty exhilarating, but I could see it being nearly impossible and very stressful without a GPS. Carins are few and far between, and nearly impossible to locate at night, even with flashlights. Fortunately, there are a couple washes that cross at pretty identifiable areas on the trail; identifiable enough where we could see by a crescent moon and be okay.

So this started as a joke shot that was way over-exposed for me to consider using originally. Once I started playing with color trying to save it, I ended up really liking it.
The sun was perfectly inline and almost setting down the stream. One of the members joked about them all getting in the water for the last photo and everyone called his bluff. You shouldn't be doing that in November in Ohio.

Argynnis aglaja (ar-GIN-iss a-GLY-uh)
Family:NymphalidaeRafinesque, 1815
Subfamily:HeliconiinaeSwainson, 1827
Tribe:ArgynniniSwainson, 1833
Genus:ArgynnisFabricius, 1807
Subgenus:MesoacidaliaReuss, 1926
Species:aglaja(Linnaeus, 1758)
The Dark Green Fritillary is the most widespread fritillary found in the British Isles and is a pleasure to see as it flies powerfully over its grassland habitats, frequently stopping to nectar on Thistles and Knapweed. It gets its name from the green hue found on the underside of the hindwings, which are peppered with large silver spots. This butterfly can be found throughout the British Isles, although it is less common in central and eastern England. Outside of central Scotland and southern England, it is most frequently found in coastal areas and is the only fritillary found in Orkney and the Outer Hebrides. Despite its powerful flight, it is somewhat surprising that this species is not particularly mobile, staying within its breeding grounds.
Taxonomy Notes
Historically, several authorities have referred to f. scotica, defined in Watkins (1923), that is not recognised in current taxonomy. This form differs from the nominate form in that individuals are larger in size have much heavier black markings on both upper and undersides, especially in the female, and the underside has a darker green flush, with more prominent silver spots on both fore and hindwings. Different authorities described different distributions of scotica. Dennis (1977) says "The most extreme development of the morph is found in the Outer Hebrides, especially on Pabbay (Barra group), south Rona, north Raasay and on Orkney. Subspecies scotica has also been described by Heslop-Harrison for Scalpay, Soay, Rhum, Eigg, Canna and Coll, but everywhere in addition to specimens showing extreme development, others transitional to aglaia are found". The most recent analysis is given in Thomson (1980). Riley (2007) suggests that this form is found in Scotland (apart from southern localities), Ireland (where it is the only form found) and the Isle of Man. However, Riley's inclusion of Ireland is questioned by Nash (2012) who assigns all Irish specimens to ssp. aglaja. Thomson (1980), Emmet (1990), Riley (2007) and Nash (2012) elevate the aglaja forms to subspecific status. The counties where scotica was thought to be found, as mentioned by Thomson (1980), are shaded green in the image below.
Argynnis aglaja
This species was first defined in Linnaeus (1758) as shown here (type locality: Sweden).
The nominate form is found throughout its range in the British Isles.
Conservation Status
Although this species has declined considerably since the 1970s, especially in eastern England, the butterfly remains our most widespread fritillary and is not considered a priority species for conservation efforts.
Habitat
The characteristic habitat of this butterfly is open, windswept calcareous grassland. However, in some areas it can also be found in woodland clearings and coastal dunes.
Life Cycle
Adults generally emerge in the middle of June, reaching a peak in early July. In northern Scotland, adults emerge a little later at the end of June, reaching a peak at the end of July and early August. There is one generation each year.
Imago
Both sexes are avid nectar feeders and typically feed in early morning or late afternoon, when they will constantly fly from flower head to flower head staying at each flower for only a few seconds. This behaviour makes them very difficult to observe and it is sometimes easier to find a favourite flower and wait for a butterfly to come to you!
The males are the more conspicuous of the two sexes, and can be seen patrolling over large areas of habitat looking for a virgin female which often rest low down in vegetation. Once found, mating takes place almost immediately. A mating pair may be found resting on vegetation and will even continue to nectar while coupled.
Females are somewhat-easier to see when egg-laying, where they intersperse periods of nectaring with basking and bouts of egg-laying, when they will crawl deep in vegetation, searching out the lushest growths of larval foodplant before laying a single egg, although several eggs are often laid in the same area.
Ovum
Eggs are laid either directly on the foodplant, or on a suitable platform nearby, such as a twig, grass stem or dead leaf. Eggs are yellow when first laid but turn a dark purple after a few days and, eventually, a dark grey just before the larva emerges. This stage lasts between 2 and 3 weeks.
Larva
The larva eats the eggshell on hatching and immediately enters hibernation in a curled up leaf or other piece of debris. The larva emerges in the spring and starts to feed on the tenderest new growth of the foodplant, either eating large chunks out of the leaf lobes, or eating the leaf entirely with the stem left standing. The larva is most active during sunny periods and can often be seen wandering across bare ground or short turf in search of the foodplant. The mature larva has a distinct colouring, being mostly black with a feint yellow band running down its back and a series of red spots running down each side. There are 5 moults in total.
The primary larval foodplants are Common Dog-violet (Viola riviniana), Hairy Violet (Viola hirta) and Marsh Violet (Viola palustris).
Pupa
The larva creates a loose tent by drawing together several leaves and other pieces of vegetation together. The pupa is formed upside down, secured to the top of the tent by the cremaster. This stages lasts between 3 and 4 weeks, depending on the weather.

I feel I am a solitary cloud,
floating over hallowed ground;
summer wind and nature's bounty
spin my world around.
In morning's light of day
your poems shine with colour,
the whirlwind of true romance
makes them sparkle like no other.
In the beauty of your face
I admire nature's perfection,
pushed and so inspired am I
to kiss your dear reflection.
So let your bright light shine,
as we wander hills together,
from a sunny day in May
until the glory of September.

So I have not uploaded in a while, I have been really busy with school and everything and making sure that everything is set for my financial aid/graduation. But this is all over now and I am really stoked to jump back into everything. I will have a couple of shoots lined up for the VERY near future.
Recently I got my brand new Macbook Pro, yesterday.. ha. And I absolutely love it, it was the best decision that I have made yet. I need to thank my mom for putting money down on it for me since it is so expensive for a graduation present! :D But I graduate tomorrow, so I'm going to running around and getting everything done for that and after this weekend, the shoots will be flowing in!
Currently I am working on the photo's for the new upcoming Live to Love Summer line that will be released
THIS Friday, June 11th. I am stoked for everyone to see the shots, and the new products! They all look amazing and everyone is going to be really surprised with the new stuff that Taylor has come out with!
This is just a re-edit of on older photo that I took in like november of 2009. Since I don't have any new shoots to edit right now I decided to do some re edits, but this is gonna be a busy weekend, expect new work next week! :D
Let me know what you think everyone!

Mich hatten ein paar Sachen in der Bearbeitung der Version Auenland 1.0 gestört. Da ich noch weitere Belichtungsreihen vom gleichen Motiv hatte und ich nicht eine neue HDR-Bearbeitung an der alten Version versuchen wollte, habe ich für diese Bearbeitung drei andere Belichtungen im Hochformat verwendet. Nach HDR-Generierung und Tonemapping unter Photomatix, bestand die Nachbearbeitung in Photoshop Elements vorwiegend in einer Kontrastanhebung über Farbkurven und zusätzlicher Farb-Überblendung des maskierten Himmels über einer hauptsächlich im Blau-Kanal reduzierten Schwarzweiss-Umwandlung des Photomatix-Ergebnisses.
There were a few disturbing things of version Auenland 1.0. Since I still had some more bracketing shots of the same motive and I did not want to try a new HDR treatment to the old version I edited another three exposures in portrait mode. After HDR generation and tonemapping under Photomatix the main post processing in Photoshop Elements consisted in a contrast increase on curves and an additional color blending of the masked sky above a mainly blue-channel reduced monochrome conversion of the Photomatix result.
As the summer is coming to an end in the beautiful Guincho and in Portugal somehow September has began with lots of sun and good weather ... here you can
appreciate the most beautiful " Fortaleza do Chincho" (an ancient fortress as many on the Portugal coast, - this totally restaured)... one of my favourite places and a fantastic gourmet restaurant (see Michelin guide 3 stars) with a great view !!! (and with lots of happy memories from my parents to my friends of then and now - a favourite place) ... Here the winds are very strong so you can also appreiciate the magical view,the surfing going on as well as the lovely view of the the sea the the neaerby hills of Sintra --- indeed a magical place to relax and enjoy the best that summer (and not only) has to offer ... a magnificent view of the coast of Portugal in this case a few minutes from home (Lisbon)... I hope you will share with me this view and virtual "joy" ... (beware strong waves and cold water) ---
Also this is for dear friends who have come here and enjoyed this special place ....(as well as those who might come or just those who like the "scene") what is better at the " almost end of summertime " than to eat great seafood and hear the waves of our great ocean as well as a great view?! .. So my dear friends ENJOY windy Guincho, lay back and listen to this most relaxing music... be Happy and Zen.... (and have a great September...)
listen to the waves and relax :

I am sorry but I am a mostly OFF - so I cannot comment on all of you but will catch up as soon as I can,I am so behind and busy -
I think I need a new camera. All the shots I took at this place have weird noise in them. the noise kind of looks like rectangular shapes and it's all of over the images in a kind of pattern. Seems to be a electronic problem of some sort :( I tried my hardest to get rid of most of it but it leaves the images looking a little strange. I suppose you can't really notice if you just take a quick look at them. Sigh ....

Peafowl are two Asiatic species of flying birds in the genus Pavo of the pheasant family, Phasianidae, best known for the male's extravagant eye-spotted tail, which it displays as part of courtship. The male is called a peacock, the female a peahen, and the offspring peachicks.[1] The adult female peafowl is grey and/or brown. Peachicks can be between yellow and a tawny colour with darker brown patches.
The species are:
Indian Peafowl, Pavo cristatus, a resident breeder in South Asia. The peacock is designated as the national bird of India and the provincial bird of Punjab.
Green Peafowl, Pavo muticus. Breeds from Burma east to Java. The IUCN lists the Green Peafowl as vulnerable to extinction due to hunting and a reduction in extent and quality of habitat.

We don't need no stinkin' ghost town! We've got Jeff. Jeff found this place on a scouting trip a few days before the workshop and took Ken and me there as part of a private tour that he took us on.
Jeff lent me his circular polarizer for this shot, since I thought I had left mine at home, and I could tell as soon as I looked through the viewfinder that it made a tremendous difference. Turns out my polarizer was in my camera bag all along, I just failed to look in one of the pockets.

The Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex is a large former industrial site in the city of Essen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It has been inscribed into the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites since December 14, 2001 and is one of the anchor points of the European Route of Industrial Heritage.
The first coal mine on the premises was founded in 1847, mining activities took place from 1851 until December 23, 1986. For decades starting in the late 1950s, the two parts of the site, Zollverein Coal Mine and Zollverein Coking Plant (erected 1957-1961, closed on June 30, 1993), ranked among the largest of their kinds in Europe. Shaft 12, built in Bauhaus style, was opened in 1932 and is considered an architectural and technical masterpiece, earning it a reputation as the "most beautiful coal mine in the world".
After it had been closed down in 1993, the coking plant was planned to be sold to China. The negotiations failed and it was subsequently threatened to be demolished. However, another project of the state of NRW set the coal mine on a list of future exhibition sites resulting in first gentle modifications and the cokery also became an official memorial in 2000.
On its 25th session in December 2001, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) declared both the sites of the shafts 12 and 1/2/8 and the cokery a World Heritage Site.

I know, the English name is Spindle, but in the Netherlands we call this shrub "kardinaalsmuts" which means "cardinal's cap" :).
The wood was traditionally used for the making of spindles for spinning wool; this use is the origin of the English name of the shrubs.
The fruit is a pink-red four- or five-valved pod-like berry, which splits open to reveal the fleshy-coated orange seeds. The seeds are eaten by frugivorous birds, which digest the fleshy seed coat and disperse the seeds in their droppings. All parts of the plants are poisonous to humans if eaten.
LARGE definitely looks best!

What:
A long exposure (47 seconds) of the light house at Peggy's Cove.
When:
Almost an hour after sunset Sunday night.
Where:
Peggy's Cove
Nova Scotia, Canada
About:
I am trying to get back out shooting a little more often and of course I had to head to Peggy's Cove seeing how I had a special request from my friend Sonja :-)
Anyway, the weather wasn't all that great and there was a bit of fog rolling in around town. I was expecting to get near Peggy's and just end up turning around and heading home. Well was I ever surprised when I saw one of the best sunsets ever there!! I have a few actual sunset shots I will post later, this was taken almost an hour after the sun had gone down! As you can see there was still a lot of color left in the sky. It was still nice and warm with hardly any wind at all which is very unusual for this place!
We have had a lot of rain this year so I knew there would be some water in the granite surrounding the lighthouse.
Please, no multiple invites or crazy glittery graphics. Thank You

Pinoy Kokadero driving along Quezon Avenue
The photo above is a Philippine Jeepney. It is the most popular public transport all around the Philippines. I believe Quezon Avenue is quite a popular avenue in Manila (capital of the Philippines).
This is a tribute to ALL Pinoy Kodakeros out there! And most especially to those who continually keep this group fun and very enjoyable.
I keep learning new things from the members of this group.
Having said that... I don't want to discount my non-Filipino friends... You too are also my sources of inspiration! Without your support... I wouldn't be enjoying photography as I am enjoying it now... so many many thanks!

Ps. OK, so I took the Christmas lights out again... After uploading the photo last night... I had this idea to take some more bokeh shots... I'm sure some of you are finding this quite boring now... sorry! I felt like taking more bokeh shots... Oh well... :)
In the 17th century, Sultan Ahmet I wished to build an Islamic place of worship that would be even better than the Hagia Sophia, and the mosque named for him is the result. The two great architectural achievements now stand next to each other in Istanbul's main square [...].
Inside, the high ceiling is lined with the 20,000 blue tiles that give the mosque its popular name. Fine examples of 16th-century Iznik design, the oldest tiles feature flowers, trees and abstract patterns. The overall effect is one of the most beautiful sights in Istanbul. The Iznik tiles can be seen in the galleries and and on the north wall above the main entrance. The remaining tiles, which have a less delicate design, were made in Kütahya.
The interior is lit with 260 windows, which were once filled with 17th-century stained glass. Sadly, this has been lost and replaced with inferior replicas.

I try to catch the sunlight
You're drawing down the moon
You know
That some small flying thing
Will be here soon
I'm casting into cyberspace
The tendrils of my web
A hungry, unknown artist
Not
Another dull celeb
The beauty of my photograph
Will catch you if it can
Spinning world illusions
All for unsuspecting men
I ask you
For a little while
To stick with me
Immersed in poem-pictures
Life suspended
On the cyber-tree
The web of granma spider
Will drain you of your blood
While
Cocoons of poem-pictures
Can transform your mood
If you think you are a caterpillar
Climbing up a leaf
I bring a transformation
And a solace for your grief
Unlike the hairy spider
I am not a creeping thief
From your dreary daily burdens
I bring relief
If looking into beauty
You fear that you will die
I offer you a rebirth
See
A butterfly
