Posting some pics from the Breast Cancer Awareness auction.
Here is a pic of the 3-some that went up for bid.
Berry, Mecca and Denise.
Wyatt was the lucky winner of this date auction.
I ended up winning Denise for a date.
And she bought my date.
Can't lose with that arrangement.
LOL
Everyone had a great time and we raised well over 600,000 Lindens Denise said.
Waiting for the final results.

Headed up the Inner Passage, Alaska
still posting shots from our trip this summer--- so many pics...so little time.....
See my "Alaska!" set for more shots of this beautiful area. More to come....
...and hopefully the last one and only.
Good morning everyone. I know, just what you wanted to see...another posting of another one and only pic from this past season. Sorry about that.
Even worse, it's not the best pic you'll ever see of a Cloudless Sulphur (Phoebis sennae), but it's the only one I could get this year. I saw about 3 to 4 of these in total, but except for this one the rest were on wing. After following this one around it finally landed to nectar on Jewelweed, but unfortunately it wasn't in the best of spots. Down very low in shady weeds with a lot of surrounding clutter.
Normally I wouldn't post a pic like this, but since it's the only one I could get of a Cloudless Sulphur, I wanted to add it to my 2015 butterfly set here on flickr so it'll be included in the list of butterflies photographed this year.
To make up for this bad photo I included a better one of a Cloudless Sulphur taken in 2013. It was the last year we had a good influx of these butterflies. Actually, 2013 was the best year I can ever recall for this species of butterfly here locally, of which we rely on migrants from down south. It's also a female and it's also nectaring on Jewelweed.
As always, don't forget to click on "view previous comments" if you don't see the additional photo in the comment section. Even better, scroll to it by clicking on the arrow thingy to the right of the above pic. And if you want to view the pic in the comment section large all you have to do is click on it where you'll also find the full text describing this species of butterfly.
Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you're having a truly nice week.

Italy - Rome
We went to Italy in May 2015, stayed in the Cavour area of Rome. A fantastic holiday, the food was terrific, the people very helpful, brilliant architecture and sculpture. I was in my element. This is the fourth of many postings. Just a brilliant country to return to and we did.
Some late postings from earlier in the year - when it was sunnier and warmer!

I've never felt comfortable showing myself off...I really don't have a good body image of myself. I don't know why I'm posting these, other than to try to ease this image....accept who I am, and go forward with my life.
Special thanks to André, whose photostream has inspired me beyond words.

Just posting this image to let all my flikr friends know that I am off to Italy this coming week to visit family and that I will be taking a complete break from flikr for a while.
I'll catch up with everyone in due course but in the meantime, good light and happy snapping.
After posting a total of eight shots of the fully mature male Orchard Orioles in the last few days, I'm glad a young guy finally sat for his portrait yesterday in Janice's yard!
What a difference that second year makes...see the full mature male below!
HMBT!
Posting early, as storms are buffeting us in the north of Scotland and power supply lines might be affected! Hoping that commenting will be possible tomorrow ;o)

Only posting this taken from the car shot as it was so nice to see hares back in this particular area. Last year there was some illegal activities going on and I thought we had lost the small population. To see two in in this particular field was great after 11 months of no sightings.
I know I've been posting a lot of damselflies, but how could you not take a photo when they were so well posed on this weed.
I'm posting this to demonstrate a neat concept. This was shot using a simple point & shoot camera, the Canon Ixus 60.
Recipe:
Take 2 exposures. One aiming for the sky and the other for the foreground.
Import both exposures into a single Photoshop CS3 (or CS2) document, as two layers. Keep layer with correctly exposed sky on top.
Select both layers and then EDIT>Auto align layers.
Select the sky in the top layer with the Quick Selection Tool
(It's good to use Refine Edge (alt-cmd-r) to improve the selection)
Press the "Add layer mask" icon (3rd from left) at the bottom of the layers pallette
And Voila: You have an image with rich foreground and sky detail from your point&shoot camera.
After this I do various adjustments like:
Curves in LAB mode to increase saturation and contrast
Crop
Selective color adjustment layer to further tune the colors.
Posting late today (around 12:15 noon), as after a grand total of only eight hours sleep over the previous three nights, I had no choice but to turn off all alarm clocks and sleep till I woke today! It's only 1C and overcast, to reach 4C this afternoon, so no tempting sunshine, which is good, as I have some really important things to see to today - things that do not include photography : )
I took this photo of a beautiful Iris flower at the Reader Rock Garden on 24 June 2015, when I called in after a volunteer shift. I always like seeing Irises - such graceful flowers.
"Iris is a genus of 260–300 species of flowering plants with showy flowers. It takes its name from the Greek word for a rainbow, which is also the name for the Greek goddess of the rainbow, Iris." From Wikipedia.

Posting early because I might not have time tonight. I actually got out for some shooting this morning after dropping Linnea off at school. It was a little chilly, but the sun was shining, and it felt wonderful to be out in the fresh air.
I hope everyone is having a super week!
So, after posting the picture I called "Gateway to Narnia" I had to go back and see where that road led. The Pink Gateway led to a Pink House!
I could have been arrested though.
It leads to an untenanted, but in-use farm belonging to Mrs. Coggins.
There is a security system there, and apparently my presence was detected. I was met on my way out by a burly fellow in a truck whose main concern was that I wasn't hunting, but the two cameras told him the story and he waved and continued up the driveway.
When I got to the gate, Mrs. Coggins herself was there and challenged me. She was quite gracious however when I explained what I was doing and I gave her my card and told her I'd send her my shots.

I find doors a great source of photographic inspiration, but I'm never quite happy with the results, but I thought I would posting it and see how its received!
Posting up what I intend to wear the next few days :)

This replaces an earlier posting: a Rock Island SW1 (537) heads an eastbound local over Santa Fe Ave. In a little more than three years I'd work for two months as a switchman out of Harter Yard, to which this crew is probably headed to tie up. We had two jobs that headed west out of Harter in the morning, went by here and past Union Station, and then worked industries to the west of downtown OKC. The "West Yard" headed into an area that contained spurs off of what must have been the Rock's original mainline through OKC, before Union Station was built in 1931. The "OK Rail" went further west and then switched into a spur that went north to NW39th Street, and then headed east along 39th to industries including a lumber yard. I never asked about the origin of the name "OK Rail", but it appears from what I can find that those tracks were along the remains of the Oklahoma Railway, an interurban that had a pretty extensive reach in central Oklahoma into the '30s. And that nifty little Nash "Rambler" was an attempt by the Kenosha (Wisconsin) based auto manufacturer to break into - or more likely to INVENT - the compact car market. I believe this is about a 1950-model, and like many other older cars down there it was in great shape - no road salt in use.
I'm posting this one early for two reasons. Firstly, I have a heavy week at work so I don't know how much time I'll have to get out with my camera. Secondly, this week saw three of my pics make it into Explore. I'm absolutely blown away by the response I've had this week, and it's all down to my wonderful contacts who take the time to comment and fave. I can't thank you all enough! :-) xx
This shot is a bit of a nod to my all time favourite film (I'm obsessed with classical history and am halfway through a degree on the subject). It didn't come out quite as well as I envisioned, but it taught me a few nifty processing tricks along the way, which is part of what doing this project is all about. ;-)
I liked this one better.

So incredibly excited to be visiting Juneau soon!
I'll catch up on posting 365s eventually, I promise.
One hundred and sixty.
Posting this temporarily to continue the discussion of loose gravel. This lovely sign is probably most bothersome from a grammatical standpoint. Only one stone? As you can probably see, this work crew really overdid it with the stones (gravel) atop the hot tar. Meaning it will be dangerous to most four- and two-wheeled vehicles until it sinks in or dissipates somehow. Probably the snow plows will soon push most of it off to the side into yards and gardens.
re-posting this gem, since my pro account is expiring today, and i want to have this one visible :)
a moment frozen in time... old one that i love so.
love you !!! <3
I hope you don't get sick of me posting these telephone boxes.
Sometimes in my head I think that I might be repeating myself. But I have an ever-increasing fascination with what happens in these telephone boxes, that deepens with every such image I create and ponder on.

I was thinking of calling this posting "Hoverboard".
A skilled surfer gets some air while negotiating a wave at Huntington Beach, California (also known as Surf City, USA).
When my wife and I visit the area, we usually take some time to watch and photograph the surfers who frequent the area. I am always amazed that I can get photos like this with a 70-200 mm lens. You might note that in this photo the surfboard is actually pointed away from the front of the photo.

Okay, so I tend to be more of a landscape photographer, but I do enjoy trying other types of photography. I've gotten some questions about my surfer photos, so here is the inside scoop.
I took this from the pier at Huntington Beach. I've learned that distance is important. Too close and you are looking down; too far and the surfer is too small. I look for surfers with skill and that surf with their faces coming toward me and into the light. My preference is for a surfer with some color and not wearing an all black wetsuit. I try to make sure the shutter speed is above 1/1,000 sec. I've been surprised at how bright water scenes are, but in this case I raised the ISO to 100 whereas I try to shoot landscapes at ISO 64. The camera does help. This is a crop of 3,407 x 2336 pixels from a capture of 8,256 x 5,504. Finally, I spot focus, but don't worry too much about composition as I know almost all of my surfer photos will be cropped.
If you happen to be the surfer in the photo, feel free to print a copy of the photo for your own personal non-commercial use. For everyone else, please respect the copyright.
