Another one of this beautiful White Peacock butterfly in the backyard. The backyard has gotten away from me AGAIN as my health has been awful. But here was this beauty. The sprinklers were on (it's so hot here) and it was on the beautiful Lantana. Unfortunately, one of my water buckets (turned over ... I use them to catch rainwater, etc.) was in her background. So I cropped this sucker three times and resized it each time. Painted it which I love to do anyway, and I was pleased that my editing skills sometimes save my ruined photos. My pride gets in the way sometimes, so I didn't let it this time, the shot of the butterfly WAS perfect before all the cropping. And those are water drops from the sprinklers which I wanted to save, too, but ...
I took this snapshot eight years ago. It came up yesterday on my Amazon cloud storage because of the link that shows all of my photos on their anniversary.
Other than the fact that I took this on January 21, 2009 and that in a wider shot there was a dragon on the roof. I have no clue where this was or what it was for.
At Manly beach. A king tide. Surfers were expected. They slept in. Later the beach closed for bad weather. Oh well. Definitely need a long lens or extension to get closer up. That's the North Steyne Surf Life Saving Club in the background.

...well, that's my excuse for merging two photos into one – uploading one image to Flickr's data centre rather than two – half the number of pixels to be stored.
Two images taken 2 and a half minutes apart. GBRf Class 66/7 No. 66737 on the high road working 6D50 from Hull Dairycoates to Rylstone while DB Cargo Class 66/0 No. 66207 takes the low road into Milford working 6M16 from Wilton EFW Terminal to Knowsley. 26 November 2025.
I have been collecting memories for a life time.....albums, pictures, and stories ......... storing them as we all have. This is a reminder of the beauty of it all!
Every two weeks our local Council provides a collection service for household recyclable items.
Garden refuse and plastics are collected separately and this vehicle collects paper, card, glass and tins.
This was taken while my beautiful friend and photog Christine was visiting...she brought the rainy weather with her from Seattle, which turned out to be a great thing for photography :-) We traveled all up and down SoCal taking photos...she even took some of me. This one is a self portrait also featuring Olivia Clemens :-)
Now I am in PA for a week visiting family...a much needed trip as I was extremely homesick and longed for the familiar feeling of a cool breeze, autumn leaves, and my dad's famous soups.

They didn't want to say goodbye to winter, or to Frosty, who was truly an outstanding snowman. So they saved his head (the only part of him that would fit in the refrigerator), turned the temperature all the way down, and hoped for the best.
Vera Florentine and Nellie Nibbles are the actresses in today's little drama. This picture is for the theme "snow." It was the best I could do!
L’ora legale nel 2015 è introdotta questa notte, quando le 2 diventeranno le 3 (come si dice, si dormirà un’ora in meno). L’ora legale esiste in Italia dal 1916 e fu adottata durante la Prima guerra mondiale per risparmiare sull’energia sfruttando un minore uso dell’illuminazione elettrica. Il principio su cui si basa l’ora legale nacque però molto prima: fu proposto da Benjamin Franklin in una lettera scritta nel 1784 a un giornale di Parigi.
Negli Stati Uniti, come in Italia e negli altri paesi che adottano questo sistema, ogni anno si discute sul fatto se l’ora legale sia davvero necessaria e se la sua adozione porti effettivamente a uno stato di stress temporaneo causato dal dormire un’ora di meno e dallo spostare i propri orari biologici. L’Atlantic poche settimane fa definiva il passaggio all’ora legale “dispendioso, inutile e persino pericoloso”. Nello stesso periodo il Wall Street Journal raccontava le conseguenze negative del “Daylight Saving Time” per le relazioni sociali e la salute. Per chi volesse controllare l’ora esatta (e la precisione del proprio orologio digitale) il sito Time.is offre questa possibilità. Per chi fosse invece più interessato ai dati relativi al risparmio energetico, Terna – operatore di reti per la trasmissione dell’energia elettrica – ha messo a disposizione lo scorso anno i dati riguardanti il risparmio energetico ottenuto in Italia nel 2014 grazie al passaggio all’ora legale.
Something more hopeful this time... I love black and white photography and i truly feel that most of my work will be b&w, but i really like some concepts with color. It's hard making the commitment to a certain style even if it evolves in an organic way. You are always learning, always changing.
This one is about holding on to your dreams even if it looks you are loosing, and trying to get there alone... Keep going, you can't insert a coin for continues.
Dieses schöne alte Bank-Gebäude mit der güldenen Kuppel über dem Uhrturm habe ich schon unzählige Male fotografiert, aber in Kombination mit dem blauen Himmel ist es immer wieder unwiderstehlich...
Quer über die Straße, keine 300m entfernt, steht das Weiße Haus.

These are the bulbs that produce the light for Fanad Lighthouse on Fanad peninsula, Donegal, Ireland. If I remember rightly, one set of two are backed up by the other other set of two.
Rainy. Cold. Windy. So grabbing one of my favorite doll heads, I headed over to the local cemetery and this is the best I could come up with. Maybe tomorrow will bring a little sun and I can resort to conventional behavior.

So turns out that I might have another small problem. I'm going to have to do these posts in spurts. Turns out I get really tired of having to lean over the laptop. It's not that I have to lean so much as I have to lean forward and down. it Takes a lot of energy out of me trying to hold My body in that direction. So, I am going to post this photo for now. And I will either do the actual blog post later on today, or tomorrow. Again my Saving Grace is Paige and you all should thank her. Cuz at least I have this to use until we can figure out what's going on with my computer.
Now that being said I need some advice. We have tried to replace the power supply and when Jim, the guy who installed it turned it on what happened was it turned on for like a Split Second... maybe not exactly "on" but the light flashed. Tell us that it's at least getting power. So the Question is, what could it possibly be? His idea is that possibly, maybe when it turned off, I tried to turn it on subconsciously... I don't remember doing that but who knows. And it could have fried the motherboard. When he examined the motherboard it didn't look like there was anything wrong. he builds computers. Always has built computers. We don't know what is causing it. So if there's anyone out there who knows computer and has an idea please run it by me so that I can run it by him and we can try and fix this. It's really sucks too because we just got some extra money and I technically could get a power supply but if it's not the power supply then what could it possibly be.
Commercial solar farm in upper Willamette Valley, Oregon. Solar arrays on Oregon prime farmland were restricted on 2019: Statewide rules currently prohibit the construction of solar power farms on farmland soil that is determined to be Class 1, Class 2, prime, or unique -- unless a solar company and landowner can establish a dual use for the land, such as beekeeping in additional to the solar farm.May 13, 2019
This guy was crossing the roadway, so I stopped and moved him to the grassy area. They are sooooo cute! And yes, he was about 12 + inches long.
Something old....just for change.
