The second day of Hotlaps at Marina Dorica ended.
Many sailors have tried their hand at the timed test, a beautiful show.
Hotlaps will remain in Marina Dorica until Saturday.
We are waiting for you to have fun with us, or even just to watch and enjoy the best SL sailors at 'work'.

We also had a Green Heron family this year - this beauty visited me this morning while I was waiting for the Wood Duck chicks
The Craven County courthouse (Built 1883 ) is among North Carolina's finest examples of the Second Empire style. Architect was Samuel Sloan 1815-1884. The trees are Lagerstroemia, commonly known as crepe myrtle. The Courthouse lies within the boundaries of the New Bern Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places
A second visit to Alners Gorse for another look at Brown Hairstreak. This photo was taken three days after the one linked below.
This flower was actually taken in SL awhile ago...it was taken at one of Cica Ghost's sims...this exhibition is gone now as she has opened a new one (maybe even two) since. But her genius and incredible imagination are alway so extraordinary. I do try to get over there when I can get in world....
This was taken of a single flower there....and as per always "this is what my mind saw!!!" 😊
Yeats made a prophecy in this poem over 100 years ago after World War I
....sadly our world is headed in this direction.
"Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?"
WB Yeats
Celebrating Pride this month! *shake ya bootie*!!

Washington series: Second Beach, Olympic National Park.
We spent a couple of days at Forks, waiting for a dramatic sunset with burning clouds, but all we got were cloudless blue skies, so we had to make the best of it.
Braking waves on Second Coast near Laide. Weather was constantly changing but the view from here is stunning over to Gruinard Bay and upwards towards Suilven.
This was one of the locations that I truly wanted to see, if I won a permit to visit the Wave. My only regret is that I didn't wait until sunset to get the setting golden hour light. However, as you can see though this picture there are some spectacular lines. To learn about this image visit my website to read the expose post article.

TP to VOGUE EVENT May 5 to 25
So, you might ask, as I asked myself, what is this picture about? Am I supposed to look at the graceful lines of the stem and leaves that occupy about half of the frame, or the crunchy details of the blossom? My answer is both; what's yours?
The result of a multi-image focus stack, this image should reward relatively close examination. It was taken on the top of my dining room table.

Got several of these shots of cygnets coming towards me and the one second from front never wavered in it's concentration on me

My wife has been wanting to come out with me to see some Owls. Our days off coincided today and we ventured out. At first we had no luck but a second try at one venue paid off and I spotted this Short-eared Owl on a post. I was just about to press the shutter when two motorbikes screamed past and spooked it but we sat for a while, hoping and it gave us a second chance!
