Texture's & Effect's by William Walton & Topaz.
It's been such a long time since we've had a genuine pea soup fog around here and on Sunday we were blanketed all day. I was finally persuaded to get my camera out of the bag after almost a year and it was the thick fog that did it.
I know many people like cemeteries for different reasons. I like them because they demonstrate an important and inevitable aspect of the life cycle. It's also because reading the inscriptions makes me wonder about what made up the life of the one who has shuffled off this mortal coil.
Graveyards are generally peaceful places and deliberately designed to be so. The fog seemed to emphasize that peace as well as a kind of timelessness, so there, in the quiet, I couldn't help but think while the people buried there may have finished with this life they are certainly busy in their next one--another part of the cycle.
Thus, the great hope: life goes on.

Since it is only 19 degrees Fahrenheit (-7 degrees Celsius) this morning and it feels like winter has definitely arrived in Minnesota, I thought I would post just one more butterfly photo :)
Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park

Since 2 years now I moved away from Adobe Ransonware, I am wondering if I should go back. Sometime I feel On1 is not rendering image like LR/PS was doing. For now I save 16$ a month for 2 years. May be I should do a trial an see where LR/PS are now, I still can use ON1 as a addon.
Not sure if LR has now the luminosity mask like ON1.
Since yesterday broke a weather record here in Connecticut, hitting an all time 53º . . .
I've been in the mood for Spring, although I've finally been settling into winter . . . no complaints, just reminiscing!
Happy Fence Friday, everyone!
Ever since Istanbul is Istanbul (song text: French/Turkish lyrics)
Lying down on a rock in the middle of Kanlica,
I make my tears swim towards Hisar,
There’s nothing left to do, she wanted to go and went away
Though I understand, it pains me deeply, as it ended so one-sidedly.
I now need the lodos (southwest winds), a paddle, a boat
A few bottles of red wine in the hidden stash, both the earth and sky are red
I curse at whatever came and passed, if it’s vulgar so be it
The morning star, left from the evening, falls on me.
Oh, ever since Istanbul is Istanbul,
It’s never witnessed such grief
I’m dying from your love
There’s no trace of pride left in me.
Ever since Istanbul is Istanbul,
It’s never witnessed such grief
I’m dying from your love
There’s no trace of pride left in me.
What a pity, how man is defeated by himself,
No cure for betrayal has been found, the heart is an immense black void
Nothing can be done, that’s just how the heart is, it only loved
I’m about to know a new skin, a new excitement.
I now need the lodos (south west winds) , a paddle, a boat
A few bottles of red wine in the hidden stash, both the earth and sky are red
I curse at whatever came and passed, if it’s vulgar so be it
The morning star, left from the evening, falls on me.
Oh, ever since Istanbul is Istanbul,
It’s never witnessed such grief
I’m dying from your love
There’s no trace of pride left in me.
Ever since Istanbul is Istanbul,
It’s never witnessed such grief
I’m dying a wretched death from your love
There’s no trace of pride left in me.

Puisque j'ai la chance et le bonheur d'avoir beaucoup de vie sauvage et surtout d'oiseaux chez moi et au alentour ça attire automatiquement les prédateurs...
L'année passée, j'ai creusé la neige et installé ma petite tente camouflage que j'ai adapté avec un drap blanc et des épingle à couche afin d'essayer de me fondre dans le décor. Je voulais essayer de capturer des oiseaux au vol avec mon nouveau boîtier R5 et aussi être plus discret au cas où elle ( la Pie-grièche ) viendrait qu'à se présenter autour de mon installation # 2 de mangeoires sur les rives du lac là ou la lumière est favorable une partie de la journée et qui est son endroit de prédilection pour la chasse aux petits oiseaux pour elle. J'ai eu l'occasion d'observer cette superbe Pie-grièche à plusieurs reprises lors de mes sessions de photographie, elle a même attaqué des Gros-bec errant avec succès à ma grande surprise bien que ces proies favorites était beaucoup plus petites. Ce que je peu vous affirmez avec certitude c'est que c'est très rapide et très farouche comme oiseau de proie...
P.s Si vous vous demandez pourquoi je n'affiche pas plus sur Flickr et que j'avais délaissé le média et bien ce matin j'ai seulement 0.06 Mbps de Download et 0.04 Mbps de Upload chez moi... C'est long en maudit afficher une photo et commenter vos photos chaque jour...
Residence, Duhamel, Quebec, Canada
Since I am very lucky to have a lot of wild life and especially birds at home and around it automatically it attracts predators...
Last year, I dug the snow and set up my little camouflage tent, which I adapted with a bed white sheet and diaper pins to hold it to try to blend in with the snow. I wanted to try to capture birds in flight with my new R5 camera and also be more discreet in case it (the Northern Shrike) just happened to show up around my feeders installation # 2 on the shores of the lake where the light is favorable part of the day and the favorite hunting spot for small birds for the Shrike. I had the opportunity to observe this superb Northern Shrike several times during my photography sessions. It even attacked Evening Grosbeaks successfully to my surprise although here favorite preys were much smaller birds and mouses. What I can tell you with certainty is that it is very fast and very skittish bird of prey...
Ps If you're wondering why I don't post more on Flickr and that I had neglected the media, well this morning I only have 0.06 Mbps of Download and 0.04 Mbps of Upload at home... It's a long time to post and comment on your photos every day...
T-Minus two hours. It's been months since I've been out nightscaping and I'm feeling like Rip VanWinkle, as I am throwing my gear in the car on my way to the Nightscape Photography Conference In Moab Utah.
So proud to announce that I have been invited to speak at the conference.......Wait, wait, hold-up. I'm not sure if I was "invited" It was more like I finagled my way into a spot on the staff, It's really a bizarre story too hard too believe, but to make a long story short, after talking to Royce Bair on the phone I managed to, via Royce's kindness land a spot in a side conference room.
That quickly changed to two presentations and two workshops. I have spent the last two years preparing a line of products that teaches the techniques I use in the field to navigate, plan alignments and predict the weather.
I think I found a niche.
The Smart App bootcamp sold-out in 5 Hrs. Whaaaat!
Wait, it gets better. Well maybe I will save that for my next post.
I should mention that Wayne Pinkston had a hand in my participation there, he has got to be the coolest "Night walker" on the face of the Earth.
Thanks Wayne and Thanks to Royce as well. You guys are two amazing people!!!
Wish me luck my friends!!!
Thanks as always, for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and reading my descriptions.
I am always grateful for your views, comments, faves, and support, they are truly appreciated!! Have a great day my friends!! :)

Since you left, I've been holding onto a memory
Since you walked out that door, yeah
And you said I changed and you're so damn sick of me
You're not mine anymore, 2 3 4
Woah, woah
She said you need to let me go
Woah, woah
She said I'd die for you, you're like my drug but I can't get high off you
You're not mine anymore
Ayy, I still remember what you wore on the first night
Still remember how that black dress had your curves right
Still remember smokin' just to calm my nerves
'Til you had to leave and grabbed your purse, I grabbed first
Uh, it's no words, yeah, it's just her
Body against mine, makeup on my shirt
Lipstick on my neck, whiskey on my breath
Takin' pictures in the moment so we don't forget, yeah
Woah, woah
She said you need to let me go
Woah, woah
She said I'd die for you, you're like my drug but I can't get high off you
You're not mine anymore
And I can't be myself without you
I am not well
Okay, I said that before but
I need you now, yeah
Woah, woah
She said you need to let me go
Woah, woah
She said I'd die for you, you're like my drug but I can't get high off you
You're not mine anymore
Since you left, I've been holding onto a memory
Since you walked out that door
And you said I changed and you're so damn sick of me
You're not mine anymore
Woah, woah
She said you need to let me go
Woah, woah
She said I'd die for you, you're like my drug but I can't get high off you
You're not mine anymore
Oporto's Luis I bridge perspective. Probably the main atraction of the best 2017 european destination.
A small little swallow that is mostly flying around. The birds are just out of their breeding season and hence there are good numbers now. They tend to congregate together and we saw several making slow flight over the fields seemingly enjoying the breeze.
The birds grab insects while flying - something we noticed happening in front of us too. But couldn't get a shot of since the breeze picked up shortly thereafter.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
Since the bushfires started, I am seeing new birds in my yard. Birds are smart, they know where free food can be had, even if it's not what they would normally eat. Among them are Lorikeets and honey eaters. They can get a drink in my yard and will take whatever I put out for them. Fresh fruit will be added to the menu.
I fear many brds will die of starvation in the weeks ahead, all the flowering trees and so many insects will have perished, and there will be nothing for the birds to eat.
Cannon Beach, Oregon
Since I was not able to hike this weekend and the weather is stormy today, I thought I would post a sunset from a couple months ago.
[**Note: I did not enhance or change the colors in these photos at all - everything really was pink!]
As someone who has been obsessed with sunsets since I was a child, I have watched some untold number of them over the years, and photographed many. But once in awhile there still comes a sunset that is like nothing I have seen before. This remarkable evening in Cannon Beach this summer was one of those.
As mentioned in the previously posted “Golden Gift”, the last day there was foggy and I wasn’t sure if there would be a sunset to see, but late in the afternoon some rays of sunshine broke through the clouds and turned everything to gold.
The clouds returned after that golden moment, but as it approached the time for sunset, something extraordinary happened. The sun turned pink! And then the sky and waves did too. I was completely transfixed by the jaw-dropping sight of it all. It was so striking that I’m posting multiple images because it feels like the only way to really convey the entirety of the moment.
And like the physical light of a sublime sunset that suddenly bursts through the clouds, sometimes a similar metaphorical light appears in one’s life. Perchance in the form of an unexpected friendship that one didn’t know was needed, but has now become a cherished gift. A friendship that illuminates the shadows to which one had grown so accustomed that their presence was no longer noticed. As one’s eyes adjust to the dark when light fades and dusk falls, so it happens with life as well. Until a friend, perhaps unknowingly on their part, extends the steady glow of warmth and light that sparks a heartfelt song of luminescent joy.
So this post is dedicated, with much gratitude, to that special glow of incandescent friends :-)
Since 2013, I've photographed this side door to the music hall at Snug Harbor on Staten Island, New York. Most recently, just before moving to Savannah in 2017.

Brighton Methodist Church
Built in 1881 by Norwegian immigrants, Brighton Methodist Church, the small country chapel shown here, cost $1,800 to build - a fortune at the time.
Rural churches were an important social part of family life in the 1880s. On Sunday, the family would dress in their Sunday best clothes for the church service and social gathering that followed the services.
This was often viewed as an opportunity to escape the hard work and isolation of farm life.
As soon as a settlement was established, the local families would join together to build a church for their community.
Many of the churches had strong ethnic and cultural ties to the specific nationality of the settlement. It was not uncommon to hear a sermon in German, Norwegian, or Swedish instead of English.
After the church closed in 1984, it was donated to Farmamerica by the congregation.
Since most migrant waterfowl have moved north of Iowa now, chances are very good that this trumpeter swan pair will be nesting right here at Cardinal Marsh this year. This would be the fourth year in row for trumpeter swans to stay here and nest for the summer following a long and sad 150 year hiatus as they were hunted to the brink of extinction during the pioneer era.
Since taking over the reins of Album of the month, old Lord Fellsider has let his farm fall to pieces as he flicks through his extensive collection of Jazz albums.
Since everyone is busy at the same time and has a lot to do,
it is extremely important to travel away from
it all to reflect at a distance on our actual situation in the present and to interpret the secret laws
that rule our lives.
Dear contemporaries, my song wants to emphasize that the world needs
someone who lives on an island in a cave and watches and
listens
to the limits of existence, a spiritual spy,
an outpost in no man's land! The lone man on Salami's island by Hjalmar Gullberg © www.ludwigriml.com
Since we are traveling in Scotland I do not have access to my photoshop and had to improvise for today's Sunday Slide. I took three macros of Scottish wildflowers, inverted and combined them. Happy Sliders Sunday everyone :)
Since I started learning photography here in 2016, Flickr and you guys have been with me for 6 years, and it was from here that I gradually got out of the haze of depression and regained my aspiration and confidence in life. In these six years, I have gone from being a novice photographer to being a photographer today, and there are many wonderful moments that I will never forget. This place is not so much a place for me to record my growth in photography as it is a time box for me to record my psychological journey in these years, in which I have a lot of enthusiasm and expectation for photography, and today I have a lot of fondness and reluctance for the good experiences I had.
Thank you all very much for your continued support and I will continue to upload new photos if I can, but perhaps I will be less able to respond to comments and messages. Thank you all very much and I hope that you all stay positive and that everything goes well.🍀🙏

Rhinoceros: since 1973 the population has recovered well and increased to 544 animals around the turn of the century. To ensure the survival of the endangered species in case of epidemics animals are translocated annually from Chitwan to the Bardia National Park and the Sukla Phanta Wildlife Reserve since 1986. However, the population has repeatedly been jeopardized by poaching: in 2002 alone, poachers killed 37 individuals in order to saw off and sell their valuable horns.[6] Chitwan has the largest population of Indian rhinoceros in Nepal, estimated at 605 individuals out of 645 in total in the country.
Der Park ist bekannt für die Population des Panzernashorns, die bis zur Jahrtausendwende auf 544 Tiere und bis zum Frühjahr 2015 auf 645 Nashörner[6] angewachsen war. Seit 1986 werden alljährlich Tiere von Chitwan in den Bardia-Nationalpark und in das Suklaphanta-Wildreservat übersiedelt. Die Population war aber immer wieder durch Wilderei stark gefährdet: allein im Jahre 2002 haben Wilderer 37 Tiere grausam getötet, um das kostbare Horn absägen und verkaufen zu können. Die letzte Zählung im Jahr 2011 ergab insgesamt 503 Nashörner im Park, im selben Zeitraum starben zwei Tiere durch Wilderer. Bei der Zählung im Frühjahr 2015 wurden 645 Tiere in Nepal gefunden[6], davon 605 im Chitwan-Nationalpark[8], während gleichzeitig in den letzten drei Jahren kein Tier durch Wilderer ums Leben kam.
Since taking the challenge of learning a bit about high key for macro Mondays I think it will be a good idea to learn more about low key as well. I believe this image qualifies as a low key shot. However, it does not count as learning about low key, it was an accident :) The flower was highlighted by the sun and there were deep shadows all around it.
I'm not really sure what I would use low key images for on a regular basis but the high key images will be handy when I have something to sell.
Regardless, I never want to stop learning, even if it is just for the sake of learning.
Have a wonderful day and happy snapping.
Since the love that you left is all that I get
I want you to know
That if I can't be close to you
I'll settle for the ghost of you
I miss you more than life.
And if you can't be next to me
Your memory is ecstasy
I miss you more than life
Happy birthday to my star in the heaven. Bless me and hug me as always.
My grandma's birthday. Hope to see you again someday.

60 second exposure-i decided to experiment and altered the zoom on the 14-45 lens as the picture was being taken.This was the result.

Since I didn't have any success photographing birds today I thought I'd spend some time going through images of this past spring. I'll take the next few days to post a bunch of warblers, and other birds! Here is one shot of a perched Tree Sparrow with fog in the background that was actively being burned away by the sun!
Since I love to paint, I decided to honor one of my favorite flowers. Columbine flowers are also called Granny's Bonnet. Many years ago I planted a few columbine flowers in my garden. At the end of that season, I would collect the seeds, then scatter them all around in the Spring. Here's to easy-to-grow flowers, a gardener's friend!

Since this species was first detected in the UK in 2007 their numbers have grown quite quickly and already this year sightings along the south coast have been incredible.
Having caught a few at a private garden in Seaford, where I also saw them last year around a Raspberry bush, I decided to put the pheromone out in my own garden.
With no Raspberry growing locally as far as I know I was not expecting to see any, so it was with some amazement when a short while after putting the lure out I saw that I had caught some.
There is thought that this species could be substituting Bramble for the Raspberry, which could explain why they are spreading at such a fast rate.

Canterbury is a historic English cathedral city and UNESCO World Heritage Site, situated in the heart of the City of Canterbury, a local government district of Kent, England. It lies on the River Stour.
Canterbury is a popular tourist destination: consistently one of the most-visited cities in the United Kingdom, the city's economy is heavily reliant upon tourism. The city has been occupied since Paleolithic times and served as the capital of the Celtic Cantiaci and Jute Kingdom of Kent. Many historical structures fill the area, including a city wall founded in Roman times and rebuilt in the 14th century, the ruins of St Augustine's Abbey and a Norman castle, and the oldest extant school in the world, the King's School. Modern additions include the Marlowe Theatre and the St Lawrence Ground, home of the Kent County Cricket Club. There is also a substantial student population, brought about by the presence of the University of Kent, Canterbury Christ Church University, the University for the Creative Arts, and the Girne American University Canterbury campus. Canterbury remains, however, a small city in terms of geographical size and population, when compared with other British cities.
It's been over a year since frost first appeared.
This is one of the pictures I took on the first day I used my new camera. At dawn, I went to a lake to see sunrise. Steam was coming off of the surface of the lake. Frost formed across the field surrounding the lake. Then I went to a nature park for hiking. The frost didn't melt for a while. In this picture, you see yellow foliage, a metal fence, and a frosty lawn in the background. My fingers and feet were numb with cold. I couldn't help going ahead because the frosty sight was beautiful under sunshine.
P.S., This picture was taken on the second weekend of October instead of November. I had my camera mistakenly set the date for a month during the first few weeks of use.
It’s ages since I blogged anything by !gO! and I have to apologise to them profusely! They just kind of slipped off my radar which is a shame which I love their quirky rustic fantasy designs. This is an outfit that came out last month and it’s just adorable, especially when I pair it with the second of the new Truth hairs that can be got at Uber. I’ve shown it along with its optional cap, thankfully not adorned with any Tr*mp-like message!
Since we summited Mt Tammany after sunset last time, we tried again a week later and arrived 30 minutes before sunset. This time the sun was mostly covered by low clouds yet managed to peak out for a minute or less from time to time. I wasn't brave enough to go all the way out to the edge which offered a better POV and would include the Delaware River - the down-sloping boulders looked way too slippery for my comfort level.
Image was taken 10 minutes after sunset. If you zoom in you shall see a twister-like cloud formation (1/3 from the left side). That's an artificial cloud induced by some industries; there were 3 of them on the horizon (only 1 was included in this shot).
Happy Monday!
By visiting a raw sugar factory in Louisiana, you will see one of Louisiana’s largest, oldest and most fascinating industries in operation.
Raceland Raw Sugar, LLC was built in 1892 in Lafourche (La-foosh) Parish, Louisiana under the ownership of Godchaux Sugars. In 1996 M. A. Patout & Son, LTD, LLC purchased the factory as a wholly owned subsidiary.
Today, Raceland Raw Sugar receives cane from seven neighboring parishes and has a grinding capacity of 15,000 tons per day. It is one of the last remaining 11 raw sugar mills/factories in the State.
A BIG Salute goes out to ALL Farmers....everywhere....in this month of Thanksgiving for what they do to provide us the simple things we often take for granted......
