I remember when it was warm outside, quite sunny, walks in the woods provided lots to shoot, frogs jumped off of rocks just in front of you and the clouds provided interesting lighting and shade, sometimes when most needed. In closing I remember Spring and Summer provided light long past dinner time.
I remember too when my memory could always be relied upon and now I need always to proofread all of my writings.
For National Grammar Day that just happens to be today. A day to improve on your grammar, so there, their, they're.
Retracing my steps back up and along the cutting, I search for my missing lens amongst the broom bushes on the steep slope I had been standing on a few hours earlier to no avail. The missing lens must be at home...
The train comes, the shot is taken and I slide back down the cutting as had been done a few hours earlier. Halfway down the slope I find the lens and the battery in my path. It's been a good day!

I'm a member of the Chopin Society of Atlanta and, as their volunteer proofreader, get great seats to all their recitals. On October 24 we were delighted by a fabulous performance by Christopher O'Riley, and I took this shot before the recital began. It didn't come out the way I wanted it to, but I fiddled with it a bit to turn it into this abstract.

Does getting enjoyment out of destroying roses make me a bad person?
This was not going to be today's photo. I was going to do this tomorrow. Today was supposed to be nice and easy - I would finish my essays, Dad would go and get some gold glitter, I would spend perhaps twenty minutes photographing and forty minutes to an hour post processing, then I would go back and proofread the essays. But no. Because life does not work like that. It was raining outside, and too dark inside, so my glitter idea would not work. And I ended up hating everything I was writing and figured that an hours break to go and get glitter would do me some good. And then we ended up spending around three and a half to four hours in town. My back hurts and my eyes are tired and I am angry at the world for no reason. Other than the fact that nobody seems capable of driving properly at the correct speed and without indicating for no reason whatsoever today.
This stately mansion, built in 1909 by John B. Headspeth for Francis H. Wagner, a freight agent for the Missouri, Kansas, and Texas Railroad, originally stood at 200 East 40th Street. Frank and Bettie Hamilton Woodburn bought the home in 1920 and it remained in the family until the 1970s. Bettie was the daughter of Jack Hamilton, a colorful Texas character: a friend of Lincoln and a Union sympathizer, forced to hide out and then leave Texas after secession; he returned as Governor appointed by President Andrew Jackson. Bettie Woodburn wrote and proofread many speeches for her father, a highly praised orator.
In 1978, the Hyde Park Baptist Church purchased the house, which was already zoned historic, and planned to move it out of the city. To Hyde Park, the house symbolized the neighborhood’s commitment to restoration and revitalization. After a year-long struggle, the church allowed George Boutwell to move the house to its present location at 4401 Avenue D.
The move saved the structure but negated its historic designation. Boutwell restored the exterior and rebuilt the porches. In 1980, he sold the house to Larry and Terry Smith, who helped him regain its historic designation as a City of Austin Historic Landmark.
The following owners, Herb and Sandra Dickson, continued with interior renovations and operated the house as a bed and breakfast. The Woodburn House features elements of Queen Anne and neo-
classical styles. It combines a late Victorian asymmetrical plan and a steeply pitched roof with a classical two-story wraparound gallery featuring Doric columns and turned balusters.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, the Hyde Park Historic District includes an eclectic mixture of architectural styles, from late 19th-century Queen Anne and Classical Revival homes to 20th-century bungalows and ranch houses. Additionally, many of the houses and buildings in Hyde Park have been designated City of Austin Historic Landmarks and Texas Historic Landmarks.

after years of proofreading kids' writing, it becomes second nature to want to add punctuation ~grin~
This signboard is in a yard on the way to our house from the freeway. The message is changed periodically. We still aren't sure of the owner's political leanings - sometimes seems liberal, sometimes conservative, sometimes a streak of libertarianism - but it's always a clever sign. On the back side it says, "never enough ..." and s/he adds a word. This week it's fishing.
On May 18th, 2017, the proof copy of my dad's PoW diaries arrived in the post. It was quite a moment to know that they would soon be published more than 70 years after he wrote them and that at last, with the invaluable help of a good friend, I had succeeded in fulfilling my father's own wishes.

Early 1970's
Fuzhou, China
Dr. Elizabeth Keller (1918-1997) was born Elizabeth Waterbury Beach in Changle County of Fujian Province, China (currently a borough of Fuzhou City). She was the youngest daughter of Frederick & Ruth Beach. According to Betty, her dad was a Congregational missionary, her mum was a piano teacher. The family lived in southern suburb of Fuzhou until Japanese invasion, when they returned to US. She got her PhD in biochemistry at Cornell University Medical College in New York City. Later, she became a faculty member of Cornell University, Ithaca, NY.
During her Cornell years, she was associated with Dr. Robert W. Holley, another faculty there. One day in the late afternoon, Dr. Holley suddenly presented her with a manuscript of his for proofreading, which was to be posted the next day for publication. Betty was not convinced of their interpretation of the secondary structure of the tRNA, and thus proposed a cloverleaf model of tRNA that was included in manuscript. As matter of fact, Betty personally drew the new picture of the cloverleaf model because there departmental secretaries were unable to do it in short notice. Therefore, there were three proposed structures of the tRNA in the paper, the last one drawn in a slightly different style. Eventually, Betty's model turned out to be the only correct one; the models of Dr. Holley were soon forgotten. This paper earned Dr. Holley a share of the Nobel Prize. Unfortunately, Betty was not given the credit for her discovery in the publication; otherwise she would be sharing the Nobel Price with the rest of the authors. Furthermore, the correct tRNA model should be called 'Keller's model' as per tradition.
In the early 1970's, Betty made a 'home-coming' visit to Fuzhou, China. We exchanged photos in 1980's when I was at Cornell as a PhD student. She also gave me a reprint copy of the Nobel Price paper. This photo of hers shows Min River with traditional Chinese sailing boats, which was no longer to be seen anywhere when I got my first camera. I have to thank Betty for preserving a piece of my childhood memory so dear to me.
By the way, the blue mountains in the background is called 'Five-Tiger Mountains', a landmark of Fuzhou. John Thomson also photographed this mountain, but I like Betty's perspective better.
I will keep this description somewhat brief (and likely not proofread) since I haven't been feeling great or sleeping well lately and it's now very late (not early) for me in LA.
This is a fairly long exposure shot high above downtown Los Angeles during the Academy Awards. I often choose the Hollywood Bowl Overlook when I'm desperate to shoot but don't have time to get to any of the beaches in time for the sunset. This spot is a quick 10 minute drive from my apartment and I never expected to live in such a large chaotic city and be so close to an amazing view.
While many of my photos from this overlook have a strong feeling of chaos since the lights are bright and flashing and there's constantly traffic, it's actually really peaceful from up here. Thinking about all my trips, I can't say I ever remember any traffic noises so I'll just say it's really quiet. I will say though that every time I'm here, I look down at the slow moving cars or at the few illuminated offices and apartment windows and wonder if anyone is ever looking back at me. It gets quiet enough that I will often look back over my shoulder--especially after dark--to see if anyone is nearby. There is one crazy homeless person who lives somewhere between the highway and the top (who i see on occasion) and I try not to engage in conversation. We had a conversation once and it got very odd very quickly.
I still get immense satisfaction capturing a memorable sunset at Venice or any of the other beaches I frequent but lately I've been spending an awful lot of time at this Overlook. If you've seen my instagram account, it feels like 2/3 of my posts from 2017 have been from here or a few hundred feet down the road. I try to pick a location before I leave but I still pause at the edge of the garage and wonder if I'd prefer to turn left and see this view (and the current sky) but no sunset in 10 minutes or turn right and drive 50 minutes to the closest beach and hope the sunset is worth it. In the last few months, my decision--more often than not--is to ditch my plans and just turn left :)

As owner of the world's largest collection, and with thanks to scores of readers, let me pass along a bunch of these never-say-neverisms:
• Use the semicolon properly, always use it where it is appropriate; and never where it isn’t.
• Reserve the apostrophe for it’s proper use and omit it when its not needed.
• Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.
• Avoid commas, that are not necessary.
• And don’t start a sentence with a conjunction.
• If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is. :-)

Visited my favorite candy store today - "Munson's" on route 6 in Bolton, CT - getting a tasty gift for my sis-in-law and saw this display mounted on the wall next to all the delectable sweets.
-----------------------
The first candy came to America in the early 18th century from Britain and France. Only a few of the early colonists were proficient in sugar work and were able to provide the sugary treats for the very wealthy. Rock candy, made from crystallized sugar, was the simplest form of candy, but even this basic form of sugar was considered a luxury and was only attainable by the rich.
Then came the Industrial Revolution.
The candy business underwent major changes in the 1830s when technological advanced and the availability of sugar opened up the market. The new market was not only for the enjoyment of the rich but also for the pleasure of the working class. There was also an increasing market for children. While some fine confectioners remained, the candy store became a staple of the child of the American working class. Penny candy became the first material good that children spent their own money on.
In 1847, the invention of the candy press allowed manufacturers to produce multiple shapes and sizes of candy at once.
More fun facts about candy:
www.candyfavorites.com/shop/history-american-candy.php
------------------------
The brass plate on the wall over the rollers reads:
"Drop Roller"
This machine uses changable
rollers to produce hard candy.
A sheet of candy was cooled
to perfect consistency and
fed through these rollers to
make items like "Lemon Drops".
- Circa 1859 -
The maker of this plate could have used a proofreader as there is no such word as 'changable', it is 'changeable'. No intention to be picky about a misspelled word, but, someone dropped the ball and I noticed. Was a graphic designer for 45 years and a misspelled word on anything commercially printed is mortifying, for the designer and the business that provided the product, as well as costly. Surprised no one noticed.
Cassandra took me to this coffee shop today and I had what may have been the best fucking vanilla soy latte that I have ever had. (sorry at my Starbucks buddies)
The artwork inside was amazing, as well. Plus one of the guy's working had one AMAZING beard. I also got to see Michael today so that was amazing.
(and I'm proofreading this a really long time after posting it, realizing that I said amazing way too many times in a row)
I would have posted this on Palindrome Day (01-02-2010) but I was busy and not in my home, and when I was in my home and able to upload I forgot to because I was watching Inglourious Basterds with Cassandra.

That's my life for you.
I have avoided learning how to do these pano's for a while now. 12 e'mails to my e'mail a friends support center and two hours later I got a 4 shot pano stitched. Of course this isn't the one because I still have to tweak that one but it was a beautiful start to a new beginning. Thank goodness it's almost Friday, was up waaaaay past my bedtime last night and I learned that I have to spend extra time proofreading my comments.
This picture is part of my photographic series "Marthe de Montlaur", which I invite you to consult in the list of my albums.
You will find the script in the album header, and by consulting the shots in their chronological order, you can relive one of the episodes in the history of the Montlaur castle, through the changing moods conveyed by the portraits.
Finally had the time to work on my little side projects like Swan. A total shift from my Marchetti work. Hope you guys like it! and thanks to my friend Miyuki for proofreading and this concept--
I have no idea if she set me up. I can't read japanese.
The text for my new book about Ken'ts Wild Orchid is finished! The manuscript just needs to be sent off for proof reading tomorrow and a little bit of peer review and feedback. Once this is done the next step forward is to sort out the illustrations and the layout will be finalised. However, new camera, new macro lens, there may be a need for a few better images of some of the orchids this year. So next steps.....
A combination of too many papers to edit / proofread, too much time in the basement struggling with drywall and too long without Mrs. N (She comes back next week), had "the black dog" growling and threatening to "bite". The only cure for me is to get out into nature, so I took myself off to Crook's Hollow this morning and took a slow exposure of the water at one of my favourite spots. By the time I had finished shooting the "dog" was back in its "kennel".

The local council have splashed a lot of cash doing up the seaside shelters in the past year. I don't even like to think how much someone charged them to put sayings and poems etc on the windows in the Victorian seaside shelters, and large letters on the pier etc saying rather innocuous things like "Float".
I liked this particular saying, but they really should have hired a proofreader first.
Messier 106, also known as NGC 4258, is an intermediate spiral galaxy located in the constellation Canes Venatici. It lies at a distance of roughly 23 million lightyears and spans some 135.000 ly in diameter.
What makes M106 interesting for our cooperative efforts in the DSC are its outflows around the galaxy’s core, caused by the active supermassive black hole at the galaxy's center. This black hole is actively accreting material, which leads to the production of powerful jets, called AGN jets, which in turn give rise to the observed outflows (AGN = Active galaxy nuclei). Note that the outflows in M106 are called “anomalous arms”, but will be referred to as “outflows” in the following text.
Another interesting feature in our frame are the many background galaxies with various interesting attributes that we’ll dive into later in the write-up.
The jets and associated outflows in M106 have been studied extensively to better understand the processes involved.
As our goal in the DSC is to provide scientifically valuable data, we focused on gathering Hydrogen alpha (Ha) as well as Oxygen III ([OIII]) for the outflows as this allows for a wider array of observations and insight. A full description and breakdown of our observations, paired with professional data will be given in the next section.
In order to reveal the outflows in full detail as well as ensure nice details in the galaxy and background, our goal was primarily set on Ha, [OIII] and Lum data.
With the small FOV group of the DSC we started gathering data in February and imaged for a total of 3 months, followed by 2 months of pre- and post-processing the data. Being back with a nearly full team, we had a total of 18 people working on the project - 1 Editor, 1 Stacker and 1 supervisor as well as 15 photographers- in the end we managed to get a total of 566h02m of integration - the longest ever on this galaxy. Note that 226h06m of that total is Ha, 80h30m is [OIII] and 141h24m is Lum, meeting our goals!
Before getting into any details in the picture, I want to thank everybody who contributed to this project. As always, it was a pleasure working together with everybody!

Special thanks to:
Adrien, who stacked all of our 4000+ files, which due to complications took several weeks of processing, a lot of trial and failure, and a lot of patience.
Carl, who assisted Adrien in the sacking process. Big thank you to both for their immense commitment to our projects!
Steeve, our editor who did another fantastic job with this dataset. Certainly was a much more difficult edit than others, taking a lot of extra time to come to a result we all liked.
Paul, and myself, who provided their excellent Bortle 2/3 data that was used for MSGR
Laurent, who provided his M106 dataset taken with much higher FL that we used to enhance details in the core
Steve Mandel, who analysed redshifts and distances of celestial objects in our frame which allowed us to find the 3 furthest objects in the field.
Interesting features in our image
- M106’s outflows - Anomalous spiral arms
As noted in the introductory text to this project, a main focus for the DSC was revealing M106’s outflows in great detail.
These outflows, or anomalous spiral arms are jet-driven outflows and so form as a direct consequence of the active galaxy nuclei in M106. Our amateur efforts focused on gathering both Ha and [OIII] in order to showcase the distribution of intensity of emission. While it is very common to include Ha in the data-split when capturing M106, [OIII] is rather rarely seen which made it even more interesting. In the end we managed to gather over 220h of Ha and over 80h of [OIII] data.
In order to ensure that the signal picked up is the isolated emission line of interest, we applied continuum subtraction (as we always do) and confirmed the presence of [OIII] in the streams. It can be seen that the [OIII] emission is much weaker than the Ha, which was expected. A direct comparison between Ha and [OIII] can be found below. Note that the [OIII] is mainly found in the east part of the galaxy.

While our image provides a deep, detailed look at the spiral arms, it is limited to only optical emission lines. However, M106’s outflows not only emit in optical wavelengths, but also in Radio, X-ray, UV,...
So in order to tell the full story one needs to consider other wavelengths too, which lead us to combining our data with professional datasets of M106 that cover X-Ray -, radio - and IR emissions. For this, we used Chandra’s X-ray imagery, VLT’s radio coverage and Spitzer’s IR data. In a final, comprehensive image of M106 we mapped X-ray to purple, radio to yellow and IR to red (mixed in with Ha). The full resolution of this revision of the image can be found under astrobin’s revision D or on our website: deepskycollective.com/m106/multiwave

- Small galaxies and their features
Other features to draw attention to are the numerous, interesting small galaxies in the frame, some of which have major outflows that can be clearly seen in our image thanks to the deep Broadband observation, using over 250h of broadband data.
Three of those galaxies are shown below - all of these are AGN galaxies with huge outflows (note that NGC 4226’s is larger than the galaxy itself).

- Background galaxies
As our image is of unprecedented depth, many more background galaxies have been revealed, most of which lie at tens of- if not hundreds of million of lightyears. As we overall used relatively big telescopes for the project, not only do we have immense depth, but also detail. We encourage everyone to go check out our full resolution image on our website so you can zoom in and explore the image yourself.
Besides the big NGC 4217 on the right hand side of the frame, the team’s favourite definitely is NGC 4231 and 4232 - a pair of galaxies that is merging and can be seen in the top of the screen. Looking spectacular, these galaxies lie at a distance of over 350 million lightyears and reflect what our milky way and M31 will go through in a few billion years. Lacking observations from big space telescopes, our image might be the clearest of the galaxy pair yet.

- Depth of image
An interesting measure of how “deep” an image is, is to check the limiting magnitude - this measure tells you down to what magnitude you can capture (i.e. what the faintest thing picked up is). As we had lots of Broadband data we figured this would be an interesting measure to have and compare to later projects. It turned out that our limiting magnitude is 23.3 from an unprocessed stack and 24.0 when applying Deep SNR. Comparing this with values from big professional telescopes we’re only off by roughly one magnitude which was encouraging to see.
Given the depth we wanted to check what the most distant objects picked up are… Massive thank you to Steve Mandel who took care of this! Below our raw annotated stack can be found. The three annotations are the three furthest objects in the image, with the most distant being a staggering 11.7 billion lightyears away from us!

Currently re-reading this by a local author . Despite finding a typo on p 44, para 4 (which as an occasional proofreader is liable to put me off ) it really is a good book . See if you can spot the mistake yourself - in comments
if you any words out :-)

That's what happens when a governmental agency lets a contract with no oversight. Wonder how many of these were issued.

Like this two side painting titled At 25 the book trying to get a sense of scale is truly a collaborative project, with remarkable contributions by various authors (see below), but also beautiful, spare design by Deb Hendriksma Anderson, dead on photographic documentation by Steve Ledell and Chris Cassidy and rigorous copy editing and proofreading by Ellen Herbert and Amy Moore.
This book was published by North Park University iin conjunction with Tim Lowly's exhibition at the Washington Pavilion of Arts and Science Visual Arts Center. Like that exhibition this book focuses on work that Tim as done related to his daughter over the last 28 years. The book includes insightful texts by Karen Halvorsen Schreck, Riva Lehrer, Henry Luttikhuizen, Sherrie Lowly, Kelly VanderBrug and project editor Kevin Hamilton.
The 160 page, 10.5"x 9" book is extensively illustrated with over 70 color and 25 black and white illustrations.
You can purchase the book at the following links;
via Amazon
via the CIVA on-line store
via Koplin Del Rio Gallery's new on-line store: KDR Atelier

The meowing in the background is Raphael. He often comes running if he knows I'm giving Josie attention, he doesn't want to miss out ever!
I apologise for not being on flickr much, I have a shoulder sprain and it's taking it's time to heal.
I am also finalising a book I have written, I am getting it ready for an appraisal first maybe, and then editing. I haven't made up my mind yet. I need to speak to a few more editors. I have only found one in this town, and she is a journalist, a historian, and a humanitarian. She has 30years experience in writing, and she seems perfectly suitable, but she won't edit it until she's done an appraisal on it, and then she decides whether or not she is willing to edit it. The appraisal will cost $500AU. The next closest editor is 100km away. I need to do more homework on this lady first, but from speaking with her, and seeing her public profile, she has won my confidence to pay for her appraisal. I am keen to publish it even if she rejects it, so I am not sure if I want to spend the money on an appraisal, and maybe just go straight into editing with someone else. But the appraisal may well give me guidance to change things before having it edited and published. The fact she is a historian has really impressed me.That will help me a lot. If she is happy to edit it, she gives me a package deal on editing, proofreading, illustrating and printing. If she's not happy to edit it, I need to get it edited elsewhere, but she will print it for me as a self published work if I want. She has setup her practice to support the local regional community to self publish their work. I couldn't really ask for anything more.
