Just to share with you my photography fellows. 6 or 7 years ago I started shooting tiny flowers, bugs and landscapes, I wanted to share them with you guys in Flickr, many of you offered me help to improve my photography but one of my mentors in England called Pete, someone whose friendship has changed my life for the better. He in England, me in Honduras, 2 different countries and cultures, languages, races but with the same goal, to spread some joy to poor children in my place.
2 weeks ago I was awarded by the NGO Vital Voices Honduras with the Leadership in Human Rights 2016, I never ever expected to be awarded, it was never my intention to be recognized like that but one thing takes you to another and now I want to share my little success and I want to inspire others to use our hobby to something meaningful.
I have always said "Photography has changed my life"
If you want to get to know this brown, short and old woman, many of you won´t understand a word as it is in Spanish, there is a video they made about my job in Brighter Lives. Thanks for watching.
The Saginaw powered through the ice into harbor today, made good use of her own conveyor belt, and offloaded a large quantity of salt, which is probably destined for the underside of my poor car. Sigh! Well, at least it made for an interesting picture.
Poor Ella does her best to keep those self indulgent step sisters happy. They are constantly demanding rich desserts.
She used to have her own pretty dresses to wear, now she has to pick from the rag basket. Luckily, the little mice are helpful and friendly.

Hooded Warbler HOWA (Wilsonia citrina)
Fall Warblers 2016 #6
Another warbler with yellow that came through this fall during migration....but this one has a special story. As we returned from our evacuation for Hurricane Matthew, I noticed this colorful spot of yellow sitting on one of the downed trees along our street. At the time he was fully out in the open, fluttering his wings as he is here. We stopped the car and watched him for a few seconds before he flew back into the tangle of downed trees and branches. I hurried back with the camera and saw him again much farther in with just a little window of light. Poor thing was still fluttering his wings and tail....really his whole body. This didn't seem normal so I left him alone but checked back often and never saw him again. I've never seen another Hooded around here so my suspicion is he was a victim of the storm. I think about him often and what a struggle he must have had.......

Our poor little Pilot boat, sunk by waves crashing over the harbour wall during this week`s storms. Ironic, because for years the Pilot has guided all the bigger ships to safety through the treacherous waters around here. We do hope that Pilot can be salvaged!

Poor killdeer has a broken wing. Not! She put on quite and act trying to lead me away from her nest. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

Ran across this photo on 12.26.24 that was taken almost five years ago and I failed to make it public. Enjoy, you won't see this action in winter.
Poor old Phil is dying. He has retreated to a plant under the hedge and is hidden from view there. At first I thought he had been injured but his behaviour has been changing over the past 4 days. He has given me oodles of fun and photographs so I will miss him :-( On the up side he has become one of fattest pheasants around and has had an ideal life :-) (This was a little yoga stretching last year)
Apologies to all the vegetarians.

Misty morning on the River Exe at Topsham.
Unfortunately the tide was on the way out, so all the boats are pointing upstream, will have to hope for similar conditions on a rising tide for another go at some time.

Riley licked a Hot Spot on top of Toby’s head.
Why?
No idea.
We checked Toby’s scalp as best we can and found nothing.
Lacking evidence, I’m guessing a small scratch that Riley helpfully (lovingly) licked into a weeping, oozing mess.
We spotted the problem yesterday and carefully kept the boys separated. Problem Solved!
No.
Over night Toby scratched it (hind paw) into a spot three times initial size.
(Sigh)
So Toby spent the day in the donut of shame.
Our Daily Challenge - Aug 12, 2022 : PROBLEM SOLVED
I hope so. So far so good, the oozing has stopped.

Had to take the little guy to the vet today...ever since we got him home I noticed he is always itching one ear, and when he'd itch it....he'd cry. I've been watching it and finally today took him in to the vet and he has some ear mites with a secondary infection from them. So antibiotics...and some other stuff for itch. Now I'm freaking out if my other dogs are gonna have them. So gotta keep an eye on Bandit and Penny now. lol...I'm totally unimpressed with the gal who sold him to us. She has to know her dog the mom must have them!!
I remember driving to church that Sunday, September 16, 2001. My church, at the time, was 24 miles from my front door... that drive took me through part of Durham, onto I-85, and into the countryside through to Cedar Grove. I passed many other churches along the way... one thing they had in common this day was that each church appeared to be experiencing an overflow condition known as SRO... Standing Room Only. Americans were responding to events of the previous week, now known as 9/11. They were looking for answers.
I know without doubt that some of those churches had little to no answer to 9-11, other than to make poor attempts to sooth and console those in attendance. I know because that also occurred at my church. In the ensuing weeks, those SRO numbers tapered back to 'normal' conditions... the crowds obviously didn't find the answer they were hoping for. With their 'repentance' taken care of, they might return at Christmas, or Easter... or not.
The 2nd chapter of Revelation opens with a description of the Church of Ephesus, a church not unlike many others, even today, busy about the things that Christians do, which is a good thing, right? Jesus took issue with that in verse 4: "Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first." Just exactly who is that first love? Why does it matter? There's a whole lot to be said for that statement, especially concerning the condition of this world 17 years after 9/11... it also means the answer so many were looking for then is the same as it is now. If folks understood the depth of that answer, Sundays would still see SRO conditions at every church.
On September 11, 2001, 19 Islamic terrorists gave their lives in Jihad as they turned four large commercial aircraft into guided missiles. 2977 innocent people became victims that day in their unholy war... to have the world bow to their vision of what is just before their god. Around 33 AD, another man gave His life so that all may be justified through Him and live. There's an answer in there somewhere.
John 3:12 - When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
This is the 1000-watt light shining through the restored Fresnel lens of the Bodie Island Lighthouse on North Carolina's Outer banks... historically, its light has reached out over the Atlantic as a navigational aid, and has saved lives, which seems more than analogous to Jesus' statement concerning Himself. It's just beginning to rain as this shot was made, just the dynamic conditions that made this light necessary.

Taken with my Lensbaby Original with no aperture disk. After seeing a few shots taken by lensbaby's this week, I decided I wanted to go out and take a few. Using it as a standard lens with the aperture disks has never really excited me, I think that's because the overall image quality is poor and being a bit of a quality freak and a pixel peeper to boot, I usually end up not being happy with the results. But I do love using it without an aperture disk and getting these amazing bokeh abstracts. When you push and pull the lens you can get all sorts of crazy effects. I made a short film using this technique a while ago and got some cool results.
I would love to get my hands on one of the newer lensbaby models like the composer, Maybe then I would use it more.

Having finished loading the train at NRG on the Poor Fork Branch, C631-25 makes the train solid before pulling south back toward Loyall, Kentucky.
The North wind doth blow and we shall have snow,
And what will poor robin do then, poor thing?
He'll sit in a barn and keep himself warm
and hide his head under his wing, poor thing.
They are lucky to be alive.
A good friend dug there nest up while digging post holes.
He moved the nest to a save place while being dived and bombard by mum and dad
They soon forgave him as he digging up some nice big worms.
While he put them on the side of the hole he was digging.
He hopes mum and dad and babies are doing well.
Good luck to the robins..
We start the week with this bonkers, but rather glorious ad for Bronco Toilet Paper, from a time when advertising copywriters were more robust in their approach!
B-59 has found a version of this ad "in situ" in a 1935 issue of Radio Stars magazine This would seem to suggest the 1930s as a plausible date/range for this cloacopapyrological image....
Collection: Mason Photographic Collection
Date: Catalogue range c.1890-1910. Clothes and style would suggest much later. Probably early/mid-1930s
