“The man who says his evening prayer is a captain posting his sentinels.
He can sleep.”
(Charles Baudelaire - French poet, 1821–1867)
Was this man posting his sentinels while I was taking a few pictures of this intimate moment where he was praying in front of the holy waters of the Ganges...?
It was at dusk before sunset at a ghat where few people come, not far from Assi.
It seemed that Varanasi (Benaras) was already sleeping, I could only listen to the mantras he was whispering, everything was still, a rare and precious moment in the oldest living city in the world...

HBWH!! Posting early this morning and catching up from yesterday! Hope you all are having a great week!
Back to posting a few images from my archives.
"It had been almost four years since many of us were fortunate enough to make visits to a family of Northern Hawk Owls, NW of Calgary. I was so thrilled to see this adult two days ago, 8 February 2016, again NW of the city. It's a one and a half hour drive for me to get there, so not a drive I care to do very often - roughly 220 km round trip. Great to see a few familiar faces up there, too.
It was like a spring day that day, sunny, pleasant and not cold. I really wanted to get over there before we get our next snowfall and it seemed a perfect day to go. There were three or four cars parked at the side of the road when I arrived at the area and everyone let me know that the owl had been close to the road just before I arrived, but had now disappeared way across a huge field. "You just missed it!" - never words one wants to hear, lol! However, I was assured it would be back - and that is what happened.
"The type of prey the Hawk-Owl catches will determine its eating strategy. For mammalian prey the ritual is generally the same: the Northern Hawk-Owl will eviscerate its prey, eats the head first (especially for prey like the red squirrel, whose head is fairly large), and then—when tackling larger prey—it will eat the organs and cache the remains; with smaller prey, the owl will simply swallow the body whole."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Hawk-Owl
"The Northern Hawk Owl can detect prey by sight at a distance of up to 800 meters (half a mile). Though it is thought to detect prey primarily by sight, the Northern Hawk Owl can find and seize prey under 30 cm (1 foot) of snow." From AllAboutBirds."

“Goldeneye” Just posting a couple of seascapes lately that didn’t make first cut since they were too similar to initial releases. This one is from 2013. I’ve an abundance of seascape in my portfolio and these days I’m very selective about the locations I shoot at. Rarely do I photograph seascapes without some sort of background, such as a distinctive rock stack or mountain because I feel that the eye needs that compositional end point for visual flow. However, there are a few coastal locations in the world with such intriguing foreground elements that the lack of a background proves not to be a problem. The Moeraki Boulders of New Zealand is a good example. #thebest_capture #kiwi_photos #destinationnz #newzealandfinds #newzealandguide #bestnewzealand #igworldclub_h2o

Day 141
Posting for the sake of posting. Not quite happy with this.
But Amanda, Yasmin, and I went on a photo adventure and we had lots of fun and you should be excited to see it!!
**Thank you Mme for lending me your window yet again :)
Posting a few Packard pics from the archive before this building is torn down - this one is from 12 years ago
Title from the brilliant Alice Cooper
...and best viewed large.
Good morning. Sorry for the late posting, but I'm off to a slow start today for some reason. And I thought I'd switch from fins yesterday to fur today. The above Eastern Chipmunk (Tamias striatus) was photographed in an Exbury Azalia bush near the birdbath. Normally this is convenient place for birds to land before using the birdbath so I was quite surprised to spot this Chipmunk perched here. While I often see Chipminks scurrying around the yard, and in spite of them being very adept at climbing, I rarely see one in a tree or bush like this. Not sure if it just wanted a better look at things in general, or of yours truly hunkered down nearby with the big glass eye. Either way, I thought it was worth sharing.
Thank you for visiting...and I hope you have a great Saturday and weekend. And so you'll know, tomorrow (Sunday) is the first carshow of the season so hubbie and I will be spending most of the day getting his car ready, then all day at the show. As a result, I'll not be as active here on flickr this weekend as I normally am.

I know I have been posting alot of Florida sunsets but there is a great one every single night here in South Florida. I will be shooting some different stuff soon.
Posting my favourite bird that I never get sick of watching. Snowy Owls have returned to the Ottawa area again!
Having a short break from posting frog and owl images (although I could post one a day for the rest of the year!), I thought I'd celebrate Summer with a few images from Sussex Prairie Garden. If you should find yourself near Henfield I would highly recommend a visit at this time of year when the garden is full of vibrant colour, fabulous long grasses and countless butterflies and bees. It's one of my new favourite places.
Apologies for posting another image of Ayrmer Cove, i've not managed a shot in decent light for a couple of weeks now ............ not through lack of trying either.

Once again, I am back to posting a few old photos from my archives, except for the Mountain Bluebird. If I wrote a description under another photo taken on the same outing, I will add it here.
"The only time I had ever driven to Kananaskis (the mountain area closest to Calgary) was just over two months ago, on 10 September 2016, when my daughter came with me. I wasn't too impressed with the photos I took on the first drive, especially of the little Pikas (Rock Rabbits) that we went to see, so I wanted to go and spend a bit more time with them. A drive like this also helps me get a bit more used to my newish car - before the roads are covered in snow and ice! Actually, there was a bit of snow on the ground in places close to the trees when I got to where I see these Pikas.
These little Pikas/Rock Rabbits are only 6-9 inches long and are usually seen far away, running backwards and forwards over the scree (talus) slope that they call home. Very occasionally, one happens to come close, usually for just a quick moment.
"The American Pika is a generalist herbivore. It eats a large variety of green plants, including different kinds of grasses, sedges, thistles and fireweed. Although pikas can meet their water demands from the vegetation they eat, they do drink water if it is available in their environment. Pikas have two different ways of foraging: they directly consume food (feeding) or they cache food in haypiles to use for a food source in the winter (haying). The pika feeds throughout the year while haying is limited to the summer months. Since they do not hibernate, pikas have greater energy demands than other montane mammals. In addition, they also make 13 trips per hour to collect vegetation when haying, up to a little over 100 trips per day." From Wikipedia.

A couple of short YouTube videos in case anyone wants to hear and see these absolutely cute creatures:
I left home at 8:45 am, later than I had intended, and drove southwards via Millarville and the back way to Highway 40. When I Googled the distance via that route, it gave me 134 km, 1 hr 41 mins from home to the Highwood Pass. Needless to say, I kept stopping to take photos, so it took me quite a bit longer than that. By the time I got back home around 5:00 pm, I had driven 299 km. This day was a Monday, so not too much traffic anywhere, which makes a huge difference.
The weather cooperated very nicely. A little chilly to start with and a sky full of beautiful cloud formation early morning. This time, I only drove as far as the Pikas, just north of the Highwood Pass, especially as I wanted to make sure that I wasn't driving home in the dark. The Highwood Pass, at an elevation of 2,206 m (7,238 ft) is the highest paved pass in Canada. In past years, I have hiked the Ptarmigan Cirque, Pocaterra and Arethusa Cirque trails, but can no longer do hikes like these. The scenery is breathtaking in this whole area (indeed, for the whole drive), some mountain slopes covered in forest and other mountain faces displaying bald, breathtaking folds above the treeline.
There was only one 'scary' incident on this trip. I had stopped to take a few scenic shots when I was on the backroad to join Highway 40. I didn't close my car door completely and when I went to open it, I discovered it was locked! Pressing the fob to open all the doors did nothing. I just could not get into my vehicle. Thank goodness, I had read on the Internet that there is a key hidden away inside the fob - otherwise I would never have known and might still be standing there, lol!
Feels so good to know that I am now comfortable enough to do this drive on my own, after so many years of wishing I had the courage to do it. Thank you, little Pikas, for being so adorably cute, that I was determined to drive back to see you : )"
Today's Posting ~ Find an interesting texture today and make a photograph., post it then Tag it with #TP114
Our Daily Challenge ~ RUBBER (nothing naughty please) is the topic for 1st March 2012
Rushed today again, so I hope this is made of rubber ... From JC Whitney "these Steering Wheels are made from steel with thick black nonslip foam rubber." So mine probably is too!
Posting this early for Slider Sunday Group.
I've been going back to some pictures in my archives and reprocessing them. This image is from a trip to Rowe Sanctuary, in Gibbon, Nebraska, March 2015, to view the migrating Sandhill Cranes at sunrise. Those things standing in the Platte River are thousands of Sandhill Cranes that congregate at night in shallow water. At sunrise they all start taking off to feed in the corn fields nearby. They only stay in this part of Nebraska for a few short weeks before they head on their way towards the Arctic. It is a magical sight to view them at sunrise and sunset.
I applied some filters and played around with the colors to produce this painterly, impressionistic effect.

Eugene, Oregon
Working on and posting a few images from our recent brief snow experience so I can clear that file from my desktop
OM System OM-5
Olympus 12-50mm
I am posting this shot, so, I can explain about our "weather".
After getting record snow fall, we finally got a small reprieve.
The snow stopped and for a few days we had temperatures up into the mid 40's.
Wow! the snow was melting!!
Then yesterday afternoon the winds started blowing.
20-60 mile and hour with gusts up to 80 mph.
That went on all night.
I got up this morning at 5am to blizzard conditions.
It was snowing like you wouldn't believe and it was blowing 20-40 mph.
We got 5 inches of snow in a little over an hour.
The snow has now let up.
But, according to the State Troopers the roads are a disaster.
We canceled Jan's scheduled PT appointment for today.
She has one every Tuesday & Thursday morning to strengthen her legs.
Lots of power outages.
The roads are to quote the State Troopers "a total mess"!!!
PS - A statement from the Troopers this morning:
Anchorage Police Department
Thursday, February 22, 2024, at 7AM:
The roads are gross.
All those nice dry main roads we had yesterday are gone. After a night of almost no sleep due to howling winds that made all of us think our houses were going to be ripped off their foundations and whisked away to the land of Oz, someone turned on the snow faucet at around 4AM. Several inches of heavy wet white cement showed up in about two hours. It’s the kind of mess that yanks your tires all over the roadway and forces you into other lanes without your permission. Even in all-wheel drive.
You are going nowhere quickly this morning. Be extra careful. It’s one of those days where you know you’re sitting in the driver’s seat of your car, but it feels like someone else is steering. Someone who is in no condition to drive.
Fake spring is gone.
Our side of town got 5 inches of the heavy wet snow!
Posting my shots from our Cambridge visit, I have been reminded of these pictures I took there in 2008! Please enjoy them again with me!
While posting all these animal-pictures is nice, I had the real urge to show my pictures from July while keid* and michael_hamburg69 were both visiting me and Hannover. So some older pictures right now. All clickable and some more in the set.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Während ich all diese Viecher-Fotos bearbeite und schon mal zeige, möchte ich eigentlich doch sehr gerne die Bilder zeigen, die ich im Juli aufgenommen habe, während keid* und michael_hamburg69 in Hannover waren. Jetzt also einige alte Bilder und alle anklickbar.
Thought I'd take a break from posting my blossom scenes. I think I have taken way too much to count sitting in a archives. I wish blooms of spring last longer :)
So it was my first time visiting Port Dalhousie, ON near St.Catherines. It was late winter but not too cold that morning (-5ish?) I initially wanted to catch a sunrise here but just missed it. I still enjoyed the scenery though. A really pleasant and quiet town. The people were really friendly and interactive there :) It made my morning feeling not so cold while taking photos of the habour. A definite place to go back!
On a side note, I just realized the new changes on flickr's layout. Pretty neat? Resembles 500px aaaa lot! I made a stream with them but never really use it much. On my 'buddy icon,' flickr says "please upload a new bigger and better photo, please" Umm excuse me? That small B&W pic was my face, how rude..LOL
Still, new layout looks really cool and organized; though I will missed the old flickr one too :|

Have a good one

I’m posting this unedited video from May 2017 as it captures me in a vulnerable moment yet also wanting to go through with stepping out in public dressed as a woman. I was truly torn between real terror and a burning desire to do it.
The backstory to this moment had been building for years. I have always been frightened, indeed terrified, at the prospect of stepping out in public dressed as a woman. I felt far more relaxed and comfortable dressing alone in private in the safety of the home. On some subliminal level though the curiosity and desire to venture out was lurking within me.
Eventually, knowing I wasn’t getting any younger, aged 58 I decided I should at least give it a go. If it proved to be a bad experience then I could go back to my comfort zone and carryon knowing I had at least tried it. My aspirations with my male to female cross-dressing go beyond just dressing up. I genuinely have a desire to pass convincingly as a female. I do not want to be perceived as anything other than being a woman. It is a delusional ambition as I am a man and have physical limitations that work against this dream. Also, I am not feminine and lack good looks. Despite these limitations I do always enjoy my time dressed as a woman so I suppose pushing myself to try being one in a public was something was inevitably was going to try one day.
That day came in May 2017. I wanted to feel confident so I treated myself to hiring a professional make-up artist to do my hair make-up. The lovely and talented Sandra Cormack, based in Dundee in Scotland is also a friend and supportive of my love of cross-dressing as a woman. The double benefit as not only would my make-up be applied by a professional she would also accompany me on my tripod in public.
I adored the makeover shaded on me and felt absolutely amazing. I loved the look and dressed in a denim skirt, wedge heels, a pink top and black cardigan, I felt amazing! I was ready for the outside world; or was I…
Despite sans of wanting to go out in public I as still hesitating. The video captures the moment of my hesitation in getting out of the car. You will hear how Sandra gives me the impetus to step out of the car. I doubt without her gentle cajoling I would have got out. I think my nerves were shredded and I would have driven off. Thanks to her being with me, I did eventually get out of the car. Within minutes she had me going into a supermarket and buying groceries! This was beyond anything I had imagined. I envisioned a quiet stroll around the town square.
I am not going to deny I loved, absolutely loved being a woman out in a public environment and felt great in my make-up and outfit. Amazingly, the world didn’t crash in, it was all on the surface very normal though underneath I was elated.
I am sure I a not alone in my fears of venturing out in public as a woman so I’m hoping in some way the video can help encourage other cross-dressers who have the same fears and concerns I had. I acknowledge, it is a luxury to get your hair and make-up done professionally but it helped me considerably. Walking around the main square in a Perthshire town on. Warm summer late afternoon was just a beautiful moment for me. To say I was thrilled and euphoric would be understating things, I was on a genuine lifetime high. I have to express my thanks to Sandra for gently persuading me to do this.
I suppose I’m hoping by revealing my nerves in the video and eventually stepping out that the underlying thing is we can all do this if we can break the fear barrier.
I haven’t been out in public since then, this is more to do with few opportunities to cross-dress in the intervening years. I now feel the desire to venture out again building with me so I have started to make plans for a trip. I have no idea when I can actually arrange a date for it but I’m quietly excited about it as a feel more confident, despite inability to actually look like a woman, I will do the best I can though and enjoy myself in a more relaxed way than the day out back in 2017.
I definitely feel more at ease within myself now I reached age 63. Being age 58 in the video it was a lifetime of suppression and fear being lanced. I feel the next trip will be a lot less fraught emotionally and I can settle into being Helene for the day.
My last posting for 2016 I hope you all have a Happy New Year in 2017
It was back in November 2013 when Hull was chosen from a short list of six cities to be the UK City of Culture 2017. It seems a long time ago now the opening events begin on January 1st . There were people particularly in the south of England who were sceptical about this decision, (they tend to think that culture stops north of Watford) but I think Hull year in the limelight will surprise them. Apart from all the events of the coming year in music theatre literature art and dance Hull has a lot to offer. The city has a great deal of history, some very fine museums a wonderful and vibrant old town still based on the medieval street pattern. The people are friendly the pubs are many and various. Hull is above all a river city and the views across the mile wide River Humber are amazing. I do not expect any of my contacts from overseas will make it but the city would welcome you. I do hope that my contacts in Britain will visit Hull at some point next year if they have never visited the city I think you have a great time. If you are coming let me know and I will try and be your personal guide.
The image is the city’s railway station with its colourful bunting.
So “ its everyone back to ours” and remember that its never dull in Hull
I will catch up with you when I recover from the party the city is throwing on January 1st Happy New Year

NO MULTIPLE INVITES, PLEASE. Thanks! (I won't be posting to groups much in the weeks ahead.)
Re-posting the festive shot again. I found the previous one distressingly bright and garish. This is a freshly taken shot.
Thanks for stopping by and view this photo. The reason for posting this photo on Flickr is to learn so if you have constructive feedback regarding what I could do better and / or what should I try, drop me a note I would love to hear your input.

Sorry still very busy, no time for posting something new and commenting. I propose another old image that I like particularly and that is dedicated to a very special person: Luciana.
Continuo con gli esercizi di stile. I caratteri di *Elle* secondo me sono:
1) Luce dorata (del mattino o del pomeriggio)
2) colori brillanti
3) soggetti prevalentemente femminili e orientali.
Ovviamente *Elle* non è solo questo, ma molto di più. Qui c'è solo un mio esercizio per divertimento.
I'm continuing with "Style Exercises". The *Elle* stylistic features are:
1) Golden light (on early morning or late afternoon);
2) Brilliant and vivid colours;
3) Female subjects from East.
Of course *Elle* is not only this but much more. This is just a my exercise for fun and for applying the peculiar features of my most appreciated Flickr contacts to my images. I hope you like the result, if you want to see more exercises refer to my dedicated set Esercizi di Stile.
Posting below all interesting shots from today's attempts.

I'm re-posting a few of my favorite autumn leaf shots to celebrate the autumnal equinox. (Ok...it happened a few days ago, but so what?) Also, I don't know if I'll get to take a lot of pictures this fall. I'm focusing on physical therapy and exercise after school each day, which won't leave daylight hours to go hiking very much. :o( I HATE that, but sometimes you just need to take care of you. This doesn't mean I won't take ANY pictures, but I just won't be getting out there as much. So, enjoy a few from last year!

Increased the contrast just a touch to compensate for the low light conditions I was shooting in.
I'm sorry....but this totally should have been Explored. JMHO.
Always looks best when you View Large On Black.
Every time I post a photo I question myself why do I continue posting photos and depending on the mood come up with different answers. My original intention was to make the feminine persona I portray visible while showing those who took the time to view the photos my approach to crossdressing. It did not take long for me to realize that the audience we reach in social networks, though limited to the gender identity realm, is quite diverse in interests and purposes.
Over the years, the comments that I have treasured the most had to do with an appreciation for how I performed the art of feminine illusion or, even more so, with how my images and thoughts had helped them in accepting themselves and finding a guidance on how to approach their crossdressing. In my early years on the Internet, along with a few likeminded friends, there were not many of us posting photos and therefore our posts were more meaningful and helpful. Today we can easily get lost in an ever-growing virtual community, as we gain acceptance in society and people realize the need to bring their feminine persona to life.
Why, then, do I continue to post when I get to dress so little and there are so many younger and more proficient girls leading the way? I have come up with a few answers that range from not loosing touch with a community that has given me treasured friendships and understanding; to, yes, see if I can age with grace and still measure up :) In conclusion, for as long as I get to dress even if it is once a year and I have the time to take photos and share them, I will keep a presence both here and on Facebook. Being here has always provided the means to be there for anyone who needs help or advice and, on the selfish side, feel useful in a field that I only those who know it can fully understand.
Often I have been approached, via message or in person, by sisters who mention not daring to contact me before because they thought I was some sort of celebrity that would never respond. Nothing could be farthest from the truth as can be confirmed by anyone who has ever written. I am here to share my life experience and will always respond to a message and even more so if it is asking fro help. I used to comment on friends posts on a regular basis but as our community grew, I had to stop doing that due to time constraints and my inability to keep track of everyone's posts. I have always hoped that my friends have understood that since, after all, for most of us, we have complex male lives to lead.
Love you all!
