Many think that the color of the night sky is black... When doing a long exposure with your camera, you will find that its actually blue... a smooth beautiful blue.
Dedicated to my dear friend Prabhakaran, who is as smooth and cool photographer as this night blue sky.

On 31 May 2013, I went with a small group of friends to the Whaleback for the May Species Count. This location is 171 km south of Calgary, down towards Pincher Creek. I'm adding photos taken that day to a Set of photos that, up till then, contained images taken on the Small Whaleback on 10 July 2011. It rained/drizzled all day, so the light was really bad and of course there was a constant battle with raindrops on the camera lens : ) This is a macro shot of one of the native wildflower species that was growing there. They grow in clusters at the top of each stem. This attractive, native plant grows on dry, rocky embankments and shale slopes and blooms in May and June.
Today, we were going to the Dry Island Buffalo Jump Provincial Park, way north of Calgary, to botanize the area. However, there was a Severe Thunderstorm Watch in effect yesterday and, sure enough, the heavy rain apparently did arrive. The trip had to be cancelled because the Bentonite clay in the area becomes extremely slippery and treacherous. The gravel road down into the area is always closed when it's raining or has been raining. Last year, we did go, but had to walk down (and then back up) the endless road, feeling the ground slide beneath our feet. Spent the whole day soaked to the skin!

This strapless smoothing bra not only offers versatility of detachable fabric straps, but also boasts ultra supportive foam-moulded cups that offer great lift and shape. So whether you need to be professional by day, or use it for a special occasion by night, you'll stay confident and secure from start to finish.
This plant makes nice red leaves in the autumn. I'd photographed those before, but not the flowers, because I didn't find them very attractive. But the flowers do have some charm, especially when you look at the details....
This was the only part of rock in the cave that could be touched. In Colorado it is illegal to touch cave walls.
This is a picture of a Smooth Chanterelle on the North Tract of the Patuxent Research Refuge near Fort Meade, Maryland.
The past few weeks have been dull and wet here in Grimsby, Ontario and that has not helped inspire me to get outside to photograph, particularly when is is also raining. Snow has been rare so far this year in our area. I have been working on some strobist-related images but decided that I had to get outdoors in the fog and see what I could make of it. It was, in a word, ‘dull’ out there. Very, very dull. I did manage to get a bit of contrast in some images taken just West of the old municipal water pump house on the shore of Lake Ontario. I went for a contrast in the texture of the rocks and stones on shore with the smoothed-out water (from a long exposure) and the fog that obscures the lake in this view facing North.

It is the stretched soul that makes music, and souls are stretched by the pull of opposites...
opposite bents, tastes, yearnings, loyalties. Where there is no polarity, where energies flow smoothly in one direction, there will be much doing but no music.

I was excited to find a snake specie that I've never seen before, and have long wanted to. Smooth Green Snake.

I think these are Smooth Newts on our local SSSI nature reserve, They are seen in several ponds I also think the shot of the newt holding the plant is egg laying?
I know nothing at all about Newts.
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.
Taken on a recent early morning visit to Monsal, hoping to get a few shots of the Weir surrounded by Autumn colour. Instead the valley floor was devoid of sunlight but this did make for some really nice long exposures.
