That little dot in the distance is my son Alexandre, racing far ahead of me as usual. It's a wonder I get any shooting done!
i've been horribly absent lately here on flickr, and for that i can offer no excuse really, except maybe that settling into the new place has been occupying my time, along with three jobs and trying to enjoy my free time and the warm weather as much as possible. hope you've all been well. xx
Hello,
I hope everyone had a great Christmas and has a great New Year. To everyone that wonders where I’ve been: I have had 3 strokes this fall and have been hospitalized 3 times. I haven’t been incapacitated but my coordination has worsened and I can’t walk properly. I don’t know if the symptoms will resolve or even if the strokes are totally finished. When I had the one, I thought it was over but it hit two more times. It’s the result of not eating properly (as you can see my posted food pics) and lots of work/life stress. I am on all my meds now and eating better, so I hope it works out.
If I am not back on again, I’d like to thank everyone who has been a friend/contact here. I’ve had a good 15 years on here. Hopefully, my symptoms will resolve by the time spring travel gets here and I can continue. If not, this will be my farewell but I will leave everything up.
Thanks and God bless.
Bill
Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams.
Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential.
Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.

Mindoro is the seventh-largest island in the Philippines. It is located southwest of Luzon, and northeast of Palawan. The island was divided into its two present-day provinces, Occidental Mindoro and Oriental Mindoro, in 1950. Oriental Mindoro (Filipino: Silangang Mindoro; Spanish: Mindoro Oriental) is a province of the Philippines located in the island of Mindoro under MIMAROPA region in Luzon, about 140 km southwest of Manila. Oriental Mindoro is touted as the country's emerging eco-tourism destination. In 2005, the Philippines was found to be the center of marine fish biodiversity and the home of the most diverse marine ecosystem in the world.
Oriental Mindoro evokes images of a genuine tropical paradise – white sand, crystal clear water, lush green forests covering majestic mountains and splendid waterfalls. With its largely unspoiled natural beauty, the province has much to offer in terms of tourism and other economic opportunities. Special interest tours such as mountain climbing, trekking, camping, caving, bird watching, island exploration, adventure trips, windsurfing, scuba diving, tek diving, scuba macro photography, snorkeling, keelboat and dinghy sailing are among the exciting recreational activities possible.

It's been forever since I've been on here, just recovered my password after almost three years! So, as most of you that know, I have been semi-active on instagram. Yes, I still build and go to Brickfair. Life is good, I'll try and post on here as much as possible again! Hope to hear from some old friends!
The lady who lived in the blue house.
It's timber is as dry, weather beaten and splintery as the fence.
She was an elderly lady and she lived in the blue house for many years.
More years that perhaps even she could remember.
Her husband had passed years before and she spent her days idling away the days with her knitting.
If her time wasn't consumed with knitting then she could be found reading some cheap magazine in which news agencies and supermarkets specialise.
She was always friendly to passerby's and if you stayed for a chat well you heard it all.
You heard how the world had changed and "not for the better mind you".
It was quite possible that even if this frail old lady did not know about a particular subject then she made it her business to know all about it.
It was the onset of winter and one day she did not appear out the front of the blue house.
As people rushed about their daily lives nobody really noticed her absence.
All anyone really knows is that she slipped away quietly.
Her body has gone but the memories of the old lady who lived in the blue house remains.
An empty chair remains.
Wilberforce, New South Wales, Australia.
This was taken on the morning Jenea and I went to shoot Main Street. Just after the rain stopped, we found ourselves in Adventureland, so I couldn't resist getting some shots of the Tikis. This taken with my ever trusty ultra wide angle to make this guy look as tall as possible. I think I was pretty successful in that. :) Please let me know what you all think and as always, Enjoy!

WHAT do YOU think? Possibly the most controversial blogpost I've ever done.
I expect this blogpost is going to ruffle a few feathers: npirl.blogspot.com/2009/05/is-second-life-theatre-of-absu... His vid includes many of SLs best known builds, but you have to watch it all the way through.
(Xanthocephalus xanthocephalus) Robert Lake, Kelowna, BC.
When I finally felt well enough (mid May) to explore beyond home, the first place I chose to visit was Robert Lake. As the previous set of photos show, the water level there is still extremely high; the parking spaces, for three cars, is under water.
That said, many of the usual gang are still there. I've posted a few shots already. The YHBL in this set was most cooperative and hung around here for the half hour or so we visited.... Closeups like this are occasionally possible in Thomson Marsh, but there's no fence like this one on the horse farm at RLake....

I'm stampolina and I love to take photos of stamps. Thanks for visiting this pages on flickr.
I'm neither a typical collector of stamps, nor a stamp dealer. I'm only a stamp photograph. I'm fascinated of the fine close-up structures which are hidden in this small stamp-pictures. Please don't ask of the worth of these stamps - the most ones have a worth of a few cents or still less.
By the way, I wanna say thank you to all flickr users who have sent me stamps! Great! Thank you! Someone sent me 3 or 5 stamps, another one sent me more than 20 stamps in a letter. It's everytime a great surprise for me and I'm everytime happy to get letters with stamps inside from you!
thx, stampolina
For the case you wanna send also stamps - it is possible. (...I'm pretty sure you'll see these stamps on this photostream on flickr :) thx!

Makayla's breakfast of champions these days consists of Cheerios sprinkled with a generous portion of All Bran Buds (more generous if we want to encourage the potty training). Makayla is definitely making friends with fiber. William Shatner would be proud.
Heather corrected me - apparently I (not her) took this shot a few weeks ago... I *really* like it!

It's a bit cooler today, a relief for the cats although it probably won't last long. Fynn relaxed in the garden under the eyes of the stone cat behind him. Stone kitty is guarding the place where we buried Ramses almost two years ago and I often find Fynn in this corner of the garden. Ramses and Fynn were good buddies and I sometimes wonder if he is feeling the presence of his old friend there.

I find it useful to have a background in your mind before you approach a stranger. Luckily, through this project I have come to know Soho, London pretty well and as soon as I saw Kosa in Carnaby Street I knew exactly where I wanted to take her portrait.
Kosa, of Zambian origin, was out there taking pictures with her friends too but was kind enough to allow me to take a few portrait shots.
As it was a very hot morning, she dabbed the shine down and we got to take some pictures. I got her friend to hold the reflector which just gave some oomph to her not that she needed it.
One tip to get good expressions is to use the strangers friends (where possible). I got Kosa to look at hers which made her laugh and then got her to look back at the camera which still captured that energy.
Thanks so much Kosa for allowing me to take your portrait. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the

This cooperative bird wondered into view of the hide at Son Real and hopped up onto the best possible perch - how often does that happen?

. . . When hot steam from the Norris Geyser Basin hits a cold tree and it's needles, it condenses and freezes almost instantly. Sadly, we did not get to see Steamboat Geyser erupt, it only goes off about once a month and is irregular.
This is my daughter Carrie on one of our many walks on this day! Thanks to her, this trip was made possible! Visitors in the summer would never get to see these magnificent winter scenes!
Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
So one little Chihuahua based pup wasn't enough for my daughter so she got another, this time we think the mix was with a Chinese Crested but not really sure. Chihuahua pups and paint have a lot in common. You start with the Chihuahua base and mix according to preference. So many variations are possible! Hanging out in the morning light.
"Oh, my life is changing everyday
In every possible way
And my dreams it's never quiet as it seems
Never quiet as it seems
I know I've felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you
And then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be
I want more, impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore
And they'll come true, impossible not to do
Impossible not to do
And now I tell you openly
You have my heart so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find
A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me
Oh, my life is changing every day
In every possible way
And my dreams it's never quiet as it seems
'Cause you're a dream to me, dream to me ...."

There were these eyes among the crowds welcoming us while we were getting down the boat. I set the aperture at 2.8 to obtain the minimum depth of field and zoomed to have the face as close as possible.
The house walls form open and closed angles, it is possible?

I actually spotted this place on street view, and went to go see it for myself. And from what I can tell, I think this place was a sod home? What do you think? I can’t quite tell if the bricks are, well, brick, or if they’re made of earth or mud and dried. I’m sad to see it falling down but glad I found it when I did! Just look up “sod house” and see what I mean. It’s similar, at least. This place was clearly posted so I couldn’t go further than these photos, unfortunately.

I loved this country also for it's craziness, that starts from its language.
It's really funny when you're travelling around Cymru to read signs. They are written in both languages, english and... welsh! Completely different! Really unpronounceable!
But the funniest cames arriving in a little town of 3000 inhabitants ca., that has a record. The longest name in Europe! The second longest in the world !!! (Australia has the worldrecord)...
And has also a meaning!

Ive had trouble stitching low light panorama in the past but now I just overexpose them, stitch them and then just pull the exposure slider. Due to the moving stars I opted to move across as fast as possible and used my 24mm rather than my usual 50mm and turned off my DFNR and just worked on the noise in post.
The demoiselle crane (Grus virgo) lives in a variety of different environments, including desert areas and numerous types of grasslands (flooded, mountain, temperate and tropical grassland) which are often within a few hundred metres of streams or lakes. However, when nesting, they prefer patchy areas of vegetation which is tall enough to conceal them and their nests, yet short enough to allow them look out for predators whilst incubating their eggs.
Demoiselle cranes have to take one of the toughest migrations in the world. In late August through September, they gather in flocks of up to 400 individuals and prepare for their flight to their winter range. During their migratory flight south, demoiselles fly like all cranes, with their head and neck straight forward and their feet and legs straight behind, reaching altitudes of 16,000–26,000 feet (4,900–7,900 metres). Along their arduous journey they have to cross the Himalayan mountains to get to their over-wintering grounds in India. Many die from fatigue, hunger and predation from golden eagles. Simpler, lower routes are possible, such as crossing the range via the Khyber Pass. However, their presently preferred route has been hard-wired by countless cycles of migration. At their wintering grounds, demoiselles have been observed flocking with common cranes, their combined totals reaching up to 20,000 individuals. Demoiselles maintain separate social groups within the larger flock. In March and April, they begin their long spring journey back to their northern nesting grounds.
In Khichan, Rajasthan in India, villagers feed the cranes on their migration and these large congregations have become an annual spectacle.
The demoiselle crane is evaluated as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.
