Davis Mountains, Texas.
Sawtooth Mountain looms over a rock outcrop on the slopes of the Davis Mountains. The habitat on and around Sawtooth Mountain is protected through a conservation easement with the Nature Conservancy in Texas. In all, the Nature Conservancy has protected over 100,000 acres of valuable, biodiverse “sky island” habitat in the Davis Mountains, providing refuge for a myriad of rare and declining plant and animal species, and vegetative communities.
On their way to Garheim, they came across a team of Queens Soldiers. As they looked more carefully, they saw that in the middle of the team were a few villagers, probably prisoners. The Espian order moved quickly to hide from the soldiers. Kian nodded and jumped onto a soldier. The ambush had started. Arrows went flying, shields and swords clashed. Finally the soldiers fled. After a short introduction, Kian asked
"Why did you get captured?"
"That is not important now. Wemust give a message to the king." One of the villagers answered.
"Well, we were on our way to meet with our allies and from there we depart to the Fort Belian." He said.
"NO MY LORD! This was what the message was about! They want you to attack that fort so that Arrowford will be without protection and they will assault it." Screamed the villager.
"But my friend told me to..."
"Yes, but he is the traitor. Now we must get home quickly before they arrive."
"Very well," Kian said, shocked from the news.

As seen in St. Anne's church, Lewes, East Sussex. Shame there wasn't any text on the pages, but I didn't like to touch.
I recently learned that a baby oryx was born at Lehigh Valley Zoo. I took this photo of a different youngster last winter, when there was snow on the ground, but the baby is part of the same herd.
The scimitar-horned oryx is extinct in the wild, but thanks to conservation efforts around the world, they are starting to be re-introduced in various places.
It was good fortunate I birded the lake today and was in the right place and time to rescue a Barn Swallow trapped in fishing line. I happened to hear a rustle along the lakeside and found a Barn Swallow entangled in fishing line. Luckily it was recently trapped and looked in good shape. They had been coming down to the ground to gather nesting material.I was able to remove the line (and dispose of it) and set the swallow free. Just as I was leaving for the day one landed on the fence and sang loudly. Might have been the same bird? :)

Continuing on the adventure in the Canadian Rockies, it cannot be understated the grandeur of nature there. Having been and living in the southern aspect of the mountain chain, it's more dramatic and majestic (and colder). I was pleased on the ability of the M5 and WATE along with the Ultra in Rodinal then Xtol to be able to capture alot of the tonality of the area, particularly since I used a yellow filter (for the most part) for some contrast. I was fortunate to be able to hike to many places where the density of people was less and the ability to capture was more; some absolutely stunning views. I need to come back to do some large(r) format stuff here - an amazing place. I thank those flickeranians who continue to inspire - it's you who help the rest of us look to observe, and not just see.
You've all done this in a crowded eating area, right?
Just to let you know that I'm doing the same thing with this image by saving my spot on Flickr. Trying to spend a few minutes a day looking at all your work, but it's been difficult. - I'm missing so much of your art, and it saddens me. Just returned from northern Georgia where we looked at potential houses to purchase. Still have to go through the process of selling our home with inspections, repairs, appraisals, disposing of furniture and items (I think Goodwill Charities now has half of my things), hiring movers, having real estate attorneys talk for you (really weird feelings with that) etc. etc. etc.
Ah, well - this too shall pass. :)
I thought I would dust off the d40..it's been a while since I used it. Today time is moved forward because of daylight savings. Daylight saving time to me means I can start playing basketball afterwork. Hope everyone has a good day.

Morgan County, Alabama - 2014 - This post comes with lots of trial and error. "Mac" and I are trying to get acquainted. . . . in the learning curve for sure. :) I was able to load Elements fairly easily (once I found my serial number) but "saving" the edited images and then being able to locate them makes my brain do flips. Thanks for your patience.
the macromonday theme for 6/6 is time and i am trying out various possibilities ~grin~.. the watch face was actually made from my business card when i used to videotape special events.
my photo teacher wanted me to reshoot and include some more black makeup... so I did.
I dunno which one I like better, but I do know I'm going to run out of mascara soon.
explored! #202

On the first day of Daylight Saving Time, a pair of commonplace Dash-9s lead 337 down the R Line at Fort Mill, SC. Hard to believe these are my first shots in the Carolinas since Dec
Bluesman in pink face and competitive 80’s commercial gear ready to make a name for himself. Just as long as they don’t see his left arm. For his left arm tells the truth about all that went into it. Selling his soul like robert johnson did. Getting those bright eighties colors to sheathe his instrument like he was george benson selling out on broadway. And charlie patton is watching in heaven still suffering from the blows of his woman.

The abandoned Coast Guard facility that would house rescue equipment, sits next to the abandoned rail leads to the Elberta, MI carferry ramp. Lake Michigan carferrys were once a thriving and interesting part of railroading.This dock was for the Ann Arbor Railroad. Last used in 1982,the dock is shown here in 1989.The main part of this building was built in 1887. Amazingly,the building was saved, the land around here was turned into a park, and this building is now used for wedding receptions.
An Extra on the set of Saving Mr. Banks has a little fun showing off his camera.
It was fascinating to watch scenes of a feature film being produced at Disneyland. I briefly saw Tom Hanks as Walt Disney, as well as Paul Giamatti and Emma Thompson which was cool. But what I enjoyed the most about watching the production was seeing protions of Disneyland transformed back to the early 1960s. And seeing all the Extras in their period clothing was awesome.
I do believe this guy's camera is from the 1970s, but close enough!
Olean has a bunch of squirrel statues representing various things or people, so its nice to see that the squirrel here is being saved.

At the Outdoor Lab school near Mount Evans, Colorado
Recent budget cuts have lead to the suspension of the Outdoor Laboratory Schools in Jefferson County, Colorado. The program has been around for more than 50 years. I have had the privilege of both attending when I was a sixth grader and also teaching classes at the school while my little brother attended. My dad even went to the school when he was a kid. It is a Jefferson Country tradition that kids have been able to experience for years. Outdoor Lab is an incredibly important program, especially for the kids who attend who have not spent much time up in this beautiful place that we live in. I have both witnessed and experienced the good that this program can do. However, in order to keep the school up and running, they need private funding, and lots of it.
Please take the time to go to the website listed above, watch the news story on the program, and donate some money. Any amount helps to keep the school going!
