what my neighbours think when they see me (if they do...) doing this kind of shots...
A veces me pregunto que pensaran mis vecinos (si es que me ven) cuando hago este tipo de fotos.... creo que tanto encierro me esta haciendo mal!!! jajajaja... Ya se que lo vengo diciendo hace rato, pero lo vuelvo a repetir.... PRIMAVERA LLEGA PRONTO!!!!
Sometimes you just have to take a chance and make a big leap - I found this zippy Chipmunk on the same scree slope where I saw several Pika.
Sometimes you eat the fruit and sometimes you eat what's eating the fruit...... I am not sure but I think this bee is eating a stink bug.
Sometimes there are places that you think you know very well, but years later they give you new natural scenery.
Incidentally, on that morning I had met Katia, a long-standing contact of mine on Flickr from Belgium, who is also in love with this beautiful region; we shared a pleasant morning together and then met by chance in this very forest.
Beautiful day.
Ci sono luoghi che credi di conoscere molto bene, ma a distanza di anni ti regalano nuovi scenari naturali.
Tra l'altro in quella mattina avevo conosciuto Katia un mio contatto di lunga data su Flickr dal Belgio, innamorata anche lei di questa splendida regione; abbiamo condiviso una mattina in un piacevole convivio e poi ci siamo incontrati casualmente proprio in questo bosco.
Io salivo all'Entrelor e lei arrivata dal Pellaud.
Bella giornata.

Week 44:52 Reflections (Oct 28th - Nov 3rd)
----------------------------------------------------------------
In the local pharmacy today to get a flu shot and my brother has a birthday coming up this Friday, so I was getting a card...
with mirrors everywhere in the store, it was filled with reflections.
Thought I'd throw in an angle shot as well.

This would work for the creative selfie theme a few weeks back.
Sometimes the simple satisfies.

I try to put on a happy face a lot, even if things bother me deep down. I don't ever want to be viewed as the negative one or the one that complains. I want to be the happy one, the inspiring one. Sometimes things happen, whether they happen for a reason or not is irrelevant because they just happen. We plot out our lives, we try to hold onto our dreams what we aspire to be. We get pushed down, tripped, falling forever in this game that we play called life. We try to hold onto the positive to keep us going but sometimes we slip. We fall down a rabbit hole but Wonderland is not always at the end.
Today, I had to close a chapter in my life. A chapter as much as I wanted to be ready to close I wasn't ready. I'm scared, probably more scared then I have ever been in my life. I keep holding onto the fact that I love magic and fairy tales and trying to find some ounce of happiness but instead I just feel this pit in my stomach. This pit that won't go away and it's just filled with so much emotion that I'm not allowing myself to feel. I'm sad, I'm scared, I'm so many things but if you looked at me you would think hey she's fine but honestly right now I'm really not. I feel... off. Not ready, not ready to play life again.
I have to look around and remind myself that I have so much to be thankful for, for the few things in life that pick me up and tell myself to keep going and eventually yes, I'll be okay. I'll prevail, I'm strong I can do this. So many things I have to repeat in my head over and over again to tell myself that I'm strong. I can do this. I can do anything that I put my mind to. As Walt Disney once said; "If you can dream it, you can do it." I dream it. I dream it every day of my life and now I just for once, need some good karma, something good to happen. Something, anything. I don't want to fade.
And with that a chapter closes, another chapter that seemed too short, unfinished but we push on and write a new chapter. Now to just pick myself back up and start that new one.
I could continue on what brings happiness and include mountain air and a view so view it opens the mind. A hardy woolly coat and a strong outdoor temperament can be very beneficial to sheep happiness. A lack of predators gives great access to roaming the fells and the potential to watch tourists as they watch you and so the days pass.

sometimes we hide our faces, not because we are afraid of what others may think, but what we might think.
Sometimes in winter, when there is no wind at all, smog can accumulate in the air above the city.
Sad, that it's a common weather condition in Siberia during winter when there is no wind for a long time.

REPOST
Sometimes you hike up a mountain, get both feet soaked crossing a river, get lost, and then find that one waterfalll you had been looking for, only to get home and find that all your photos were terrible. You got skunked. Then other times, you are in just the right place, at just the right time, the batteries are full and the memory card is ready, and you get magic. There are some shoots when you come home with so many keepers that you feel spoiled! That was this shoot. I live in Oregon. I love the State, but I have to say, we are not the best when it comes to Christmas lights. Sorry, it's true. So, to get the full experience and we drove all the way out to Idaho, where they seem to get it right. This is Caldwell. This was actually about 3 years ago in Caldwell, but I got so many great images that I keep going back to that well for Christmas images.
In fact, I tried to shoot a different Christmas light image this year, but Oregon got me again. There is a covered bridge about an hour and half form where I live that gets a full Christmas decorating every year. I called the City to see when they would be up, she told me, so we headed out to shoot it. Well, I guess I got the info wrong, because there were no lights. So tried again the next weekend, only to find that the official lighting of the bridge was the next day. Oh Oregon. So about $150 in gas and 6 hours of my life would never get back, I still have no image of that bridge. If you want Christmas, go to Idaho.
Sometimes you take a photo that is so right that you find many ways of enhancing it.
I've posted this guy before many times but this time I have isolated the elephant from the background, blurred the background and then extended either side to give this panoramic portrait.
