September 3pm hour. A mesmerizing treasure trove of golden sunshine sparkles appeared in the water as I was walking around Ventura Harbor. Then in the fresh ocean breeze, along came a stand-up paddleboarder, unencumbered and uncluttered. After swirling through the sparkles like a lightweight nomad, he turns and looks back. I wonder if he saw the same thing I did. Anyway, it looks like he was freely enjoying the afternoon and I hope he goes home happy.
To be here was such a treat. I wanted a picture with boats for my 'Hours' picture because I was born in September in the 3pm hour on what is now 'International Talk Like A Pirate Day', so it worked out well. Arrr, Matey!
September is so lovely and it will transition into Fall before we know it. As Summer fades, it leaves its door open just a little...
Thank you again for your patience, my Flickr friends. I'm still off and on for awhile longer.

In my previous post, I shared an image from Utah's Gunlock State Park. It was taken facing (roughly) north. To compose this current image, I took a few steps and pivoted 180 degrees so I was facing (roughly) south. Quite a different view, this one featuring the Gunlock Reservoir, and an example of "Photography by walking around."
The Gunlock Reservoir lies In scenic red rock country, 15 miles northwest of sunny St. George, Utah. I composed these two images of it during a short road trip through this area on the Old Spanish Trail, which was used by horsemen and raiders from Sante Fe, New Mexico to Los Angeles from the 1820's until the gold fields became the destination after 1849 and a shorter route was taken.
The name Gunlock is the same as the small farming community one mile to the reservoir's north. William Haynes Hamblin (nicknamed Will or Bill), a Mormon pioneer born in Ohio, settled in the present area of the lake in 1857. Gunlock Will was a good hunter and sharpshooter, and was skillful in repairing gunlocks, which are the firing mechanisms for muzzleloaders.
His brother, Jacob Hamblin, was actually the more well known of the two. He was a Mormon settler and a missionary to the Indians of southern Utah and northern Arizona, particularly the Shivwits tribe of the Paiute Indians, who still live in this area.
Torrespaña (conocida popularmente como El Pirulí) es una torre de telecomunicaciones de Madrid, España. Se encuentra en la confluencia de la calle de O'Donnell con la calle del Alcalde Sainz de Baranda y próxima a la autovía de circunvalación M-30. Es propiedad de la empresa Cellnex Telecom, habiendo pertenecido previamente a RTVE y a Retevisión. Es la tercera torre de telecomunicaciones más alta de España tras la Torreta de Guardamar en Alicante y la Torre de Collserola en Barcelona.
With wings spread wide to create a shadow, Tricolored Heron turns on a dime toward the approaching baitfish on Horsepen Bayou. Video is probably the only way to really appreciate the syncopated rhythm of this dance. I need to remember that the next time it is on display.
First pivot animation Ive ever made, and I decided to make it for my dad, as an incentive to quit; the incentive is videos of him getting attacked by ninjas? No, the incentive is, I dont make more elaborate videos involving the demise of his cigarratte.
*The figure is hunched over because my dad's posture sucks.
Listening to the news about a potential drought facing Alberta, I was reminded of driving home to Ontario last summer and seeing these large sprinkler systems alongside the highway. They appeared to rotate about a wellhead and I imagined used up great quantities of water. Digging a little further in Wikipedia, they are called center pivot irrigation systems and it was interesting to read how they maintain a straight line and adjust water flow for consistency across the radius of the circle.
The outside set of wheels sets the pace for the rotation. The inner sets of wheels are mounted at hubs between two segments and use angle sensors (microswitches) to detect when the bend at the joint exceeds a certain threshold. When the angle is too large, the wheels rotate to keep the segments aligned. Typical periods for a full rotation include three days; while other sources have the outer edge of the structure moving at 2 to 3 m (6.6 to 9.8 ft) per minute, which would equate to 14 to 21 hours for one full rotation of a 400-meter-radius (1⁄4 mi) system.
To achieve uniform application, center pivots require a variable emitter flow rate across the radius of the machine. Since the outer-most spans (or towers) travel farther in a given time period than the innermost spans, nozzle sizes are smallest at the inner spans and increase with distance from the pivot point. Aerial views show fields of circles created by tracings of quarter-mile or half-mile (400 or 800 m) radial irrigation pipes, which consume up to several thousands of gallons per minute.
If you're still with me after reading all that, the image itself was captured in harsh sunlight, which I tried to use to my advantage to better see the spray of water.
Pivot Rock is located just outside of Eureka Springs.
Once again these are my grandchildren at the rock. It is wonderful time when we get all of them together.
I find myself fascinated by these pivot irrigation systems. They look like giant mechanical bugs to me. See, for example, The Thing . They look like bugs to me. : )

I wrote a short blog post about my December 2019 trip to Manitoba and North Dakota, if you're interested in reading about it.
A hint of pareidolia for this weeks Macro Mondays challenge: One Color. Detail on a pair of bolt cutters.
Ok, so I hadn't been out for a while and thought it might be good to stay local and try lighting up this mysterious rock close to home. Happy with the result but I must remeber that my images tend to come out 2 stops darker on screen than on the camera LCD display.
As always, my own comments are simply to document personal thoughts on each photo but your thoughts and criticism is always welcome.
Another snow day in Texas. Never been here when there had been two days in a single season. Extremely rare. Of course, all the reason to skip out on work for a spell a brave the bitter cold ... and go all out for some more 360º renderings.

Weekends Only...Mostly. Only sharing this one to celebrate the present moment. Now back to the work-work and full concentration on my major project with a fast approaching 18-Feb deadline. Wishing all a splendid rest of the week, and I will try to catch up with photostreams during the weekend ... if not when taking breaks beforehand. ;)

Constructive criticism and suggestions welcomed! Thank you for dropping by.

I encourage you to zoom in on the patterns/intricacies of this eye, if at all possible. Dragonflies are such interesting creatures with beautifully complex structures and often-interesting/interested personalities. This feller was on top of the antenna of my car yesterday, and reacted very positively to my desire for a photoshoot.
Almost every time that I've gone to take pictures of a dragonfly, they have responded by being just as curious about me as I was about them. This one was no exception, repeatedly leaving his perch and returning to land at a different angle and examine me, with lots of rapid head movements.
You see pivot irrigation but the Grackles see an amusement park.

I'm sorry, I managed to cut off one of the finials. Sigh.
La cardère sauvage est une plante bisannuelle à racine pivotante, blanchâtre. La tige, de 1 à 1,50 mètre, est cylindrique, striée, munie d'aiguillons, un peu rameuse au sommet. Les feuilles, opposées, sont grandes, lancéolées, aiguës, dentées, elles se réunissent à la base. Les fleurs, visibles de juillet à septembre, sont rose lilas, placées à l'aisselle des bractées, qui sont raides, très aiguës, épineuses, formant par leur réunion des capitules très gros, ovoïdes et terminaux. Les fruits sont ovoïdes et allongés.
