Yesterday caught a Kayaker practicing for this year's run of the charles. Some tricky portages around echo bridge park
Toby is tolerable with hats, but Riley is a mixed bag. Yesterday (when I was just practicing and not shooting at all) he was excellent.
Today - in front of my iPhone on its tripod (so - minimal setup - see stream for cute little iPhone tripod I use) and he was... unimpressed.
However, since I was using the kitchen lights and NOT the flash - I could take as many pictures (via remote) as I wanted.
Ha!
This was the best in the box (with only TWO that had both dogs with hats and me not in the picture).
(and yes, my dogs, my floors, and my cabinets are all the same color. This is actually where I shoot all my "studio" photographs - hence the usage of backdrops)

Human's haven't really been too powerful as wizards. Generally, they live too short to become very good. Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule though, and Leoben Gladomain is one of those. Well-versed in the arts of magic, this wizard is feared by the evil and held in high honor by the masses. Even nobles ask his assistance sometimes. But, like everyone, Leoben must practice new spells. After all, he doesn't want to accidentally turn a princess into a frog, right?

The MOC was better in my head. End of story. : P
Oh, inspired by my good friend Digger.

I hope all our US friends had a wonderful Memorial Day holiday. 💗💗
Daisy and I kept it low-key....but I made sure my sweetie kept pretty just in case. You never know when I might need something from the store at a moments notice. 😉
Just because the rodent season is over, it is never sufficient to rest on one's laurels. A successful season past is no guarantee for the future. Every season presents an opportunity to work on skills. For example, a snow encrusted twig makes a more than suitable substitution for a prideful presentation to one's partner. While a bit less tricky to catch, other hazards clearly exist complicating the activity.
This is Joshua practicing his glass blowing at a shop in Cabo San Lucas. We visited as part of an organized city tour and some people got to try out blowing a bubble of molten glass. The bubble at the end of the metal rod quickly cooled and then was broken, producing very thin glass shards that were discarded.

I would never call myself a car nut or car enthusiast, to be honest. A friend and I saw an advert for a car show some time back and we decided it was a good way to spend a warm Sunday afternoon. Our very first time at a vintage car show and it didn't disappoint.
So I have decided to start doing more things outside of my regular comfort zone. Never in a million years did I think about cars as a subject but trying something new is always Let's see how that goes. My blog post explains in a bit more detail and I've included the link to it in this caption.
Let's end this series on a high note. So I tried to practice my editing skills again. Like the last shot, this isn't the original image. This is another composite because I removed the background which was full of cars and people and changed the boring sky to this gorgeous blue. A lot easier than the last one because I didn't have to wonder about the windows because of the open hood. I must admit that I had so much fun with these edits and I'm planning a few new things like double exposures. Should I do more? Tell me what you think below. See if you can name that car too. ;)
To all of you, enjoy the weekend and have an awesome week ahead, wherever you are!

From time immemorial, the poisonous snake has been considered a symbol of medicine and remedy. But it also symbolizes the devil, seduction, evil and, of course, poison.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers. ...from a drive to Marie's place.
I am revisiting some of my old pics to practice b&w conversions.

Deep in the basement in this old civic building are the cells, they have an almost 'facility' feeling about them. Wonderful leisurely day with Brother Barnabus and the meeting of 'Pam' . Un Invited

As everyone was laying claim to their spots for the UP Big Boy to begin its northward journey from Poplar Bluff to St. Louis Missouri, UP MHOAS heads north out of Poplar Bluff and across the Black River. This train provided those already set up the opportunity to get a practice shot, checking exposures, focus points, and compositions before show time.

Ever since I became a Flickr member I've enjoyed the gorgeous Bald Eagle pictures of, for instance Imtoootall, Doug LLoyd, Nikographer, Fella-1 and Garnite (to name a few...).
I long to go to the places they live/visit, see the eagles with my own eyes, but it seems that my wishlist of 'must see before I die'-places only grows longer since I'm on Flickr and the time left only becomes shorter.. :-)
But.... there are vague plans to go to Vancouver Island in autumn. I've heard from a friend that there seem to be a lot of these flying beauties around there.....
Meanwhile, last sunday I went with friends and their kids to Beekse Bergen in Holland. Apart from it being a lovely day which really lifted the spirits of us sunstarved people in the Netherlands (:-), they had a wonderful show with birds of prey.
So here was my chance to practice a little! You might call it a small miracle that I haven't hit anyone on the head with the camera and lens but I was só eager to get at least one shot right!
Ok, it might not (yet) be the real stuff, and it doesn't come near the quality of the above mentioned gentlemen's shots, but still I've enjoyed seeing this wonderful eagle fly enormously. (and at least it felt real !!! :-) )
