Rather than letting her hair down, so to speak, this lady has decided to stick it up just as high as it will go. The reasons for this are unclear. Whilst she's got a steely eyed glare on for the camera inside she's buzzing like a bee in a honey tree. The reasons for this are unclear too. All we know for sure is that she's ready to take on Kid and Play in the haircut stakes. (If you don't know what I'm on about I'd suggest using the internet as a research tool and finding out). Word to your mother.

A Cold Beer
There's something about a cold beer,
I can't really put my finger on it!
Maybe it's because it's much better,
Before you drink it.
Yes, the thought of it going down,
On a hot August evening
When thirst, and sweat,
And the thoughts of a cold one lingered all day.
And then again, it gets better,
The moment, frozen in time. you pull the tab,
Pa-roosh! sizzle! and the vapor trail.
Beggin me to take the first gulp
One gulp, then beckoned to turn it up.
Kill it! Conquer the can! Be a Man!
Ectasy! Climax!
Then a burp!
Suddenly and unsuspectedly!
I can dance with my shadow!
Alll of the women are pretty!
Courage in a can,
What a man I am!
There's something about a cold beer,
I can't really put my finger on!

Sometimes you look over at your sweetheart as she's sitting there in the club, taking a break from all the dancing & dancing & dancing ... and she just looks so beautiful that you can't even, and you have to take a photo because memory, even yours, is ultimately fleeting & you don't ever want to forget ...
"SoHo, sometimes written Soho, is a neighborhood in Lower Manhattan, New York City. Since the 1970s, the neighborhood has been the location of many artists' lofts and art galleries, and has also been known for its variety of shops ranging from trendy upscale boutiques to national and international chain store outlets. The area's history is an archetypal example of inner-city regeneration and gentrification, encompassing socioeconomic, cultural, political, and architectural developments.
The name "SoHo" derives from the area being "South of Houston Street", and was coined in 1962 by Chester Rapkin, an urban planner and author of The South Houston Industrial Area study, also known as the "Rapkin Report". The name also recalls Soho, an area in London's West End.
Almost all of SoHo is included in the SoHo–Cast Iron Historic District, which was designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1973, extended in 2010, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and declared a National Historic Landmark in 1978. It consists of 26 blocks and approximately 500 buildings, many of them incorporating cast-iron architectural elements. Many side streets in the district are paved with Belgian blocks.
SoHo is part of Manhattan Community District 2 and its primary ZIP Codes are 10012 and 10013. It is patrolled by the 1st and 5th Precincts of the New York City Police Department.
New York, often called New York City or NYC, is the most populous city in the United States. With a 2020 population of 8,804,190 distributed over 300.46 square miles (778.2 km2), New York City is also the most densely populated major city in the United States. The city is within the southern tip of New York State, and constitutes the geographical and demographic center of both the Northeast megalopolis and the New York metropolitan area – the largest metropolitan area in the world by urban landmass. With over 20.1 million people in its metropolitan statistical area and 23.5 million in its combined statistical area as of 2020, New York is one of the world's most populous megacities, and over 58 million people live within 250 mi (400 km) of the city. New York City is a global cultural, financial, and media center with a significant influence on commerce, health care and life sciences, entertainment, research, technology, education, politics, tourism, dining, art, fashion, and sports. New York is the most photographed city in the world. Home to the headquarters of the United Nations, New York is an important center for international diplomacy, an established safe haven for global investors, and is sometimes described as the capital of the world." - info from Wikipedia.
The fall of 2022 I did my 3rd major cycling tour. I began my adventure in Montreal, Canada and finished in Savannah, GA. This tour took me through the oldest parts of Quebec and the 13 original US states. During this adventure I cycled 7,126 km over the course of 2.5 months and took more than 68,000 photos. As with my previous tours, a major focus was to photograph historic architecture.
Now on Instagram.
all it takes is a moment,
one minute at best,
to stop the mayhem,
take a seat, and notice beauty.
it's all around us really.
Sometimes, Shinobu doesn't sew, or even plans to sew. It's nice just to have your own space to daydream in for a while.
Sometimes W/we have to sit alone letting the water splash against thy flesh and as each teardrop falls, the toxic pours from thy body... It's never felt better to cleanse thy soul and watch each toxic thought flow down the drain...

Sometimes I think he is all grown up and then I catch him in moments like this and I remember he is still little. He just melts me.

Parfois le monde perd ses couleurs, comme on perd son sang
Parfois, l’on retrouve sa palette, dans un fil d’eau de vie,
Renaissant. Parfois le monde coule, comme on trouve
Son sens, que l’on croyait perdu dans le sec. Parfois.

Sometimes you will find pretty old shots on my Flickr. That is because I sometimes need a lot of time to actually get done with the editing of a shoot but in addition to that it is mostly because I wriggled about sharing them with the world. I wanted to do it in the 'right' way — which obviously is just the way you do it at a given time as long as you do it!
Now I am confident enough to share much faster and I am happy about how most of the old shots turned out. I will keep going back in my Library and share the stuff with you on here.
And even though the shots are taken and edited a long time ago: I would love to here your critics!

This is a 3 image wide pano with 2 exposures each,
one for shadows and one for highlights. This was well before HDR work.
One thing you need to do for land bridges and most arches, is to get down to ground level and have the sky appear in the image. This sometimes can be challenging but trying to shoot these things from the parking lot overlook obviously does not work.
Kachina Bridge is named for the rock art symbols on the face of the bridge that resembles symbols commonly used on kachina dolls. It is a Hopi Indian name. This bridge is the second largest bridge in the Monument. It is 210 ft. high, spans 204 ft, is 44 ft. wide and 93 ft thick at the top. The hike down to the streambed here from the parking area is very steep. Once here, it is quite easy walking to either side of kachina Bridge. You can hike from bridge to bridge once down to this river bed level. Sipapu is 5.6 miles upstream from this point and Owachomo Bridge is 5.4 miles downstream. Horsecollar Ruins is located between Sipapu and Kachina Bridges.
Horsecollar Ruins was what started my fascination with these early Indians and the ruins that they left behind nearly 800 years ago. These Indians were the early culture of many of the tribes of today. They were called Anasazi, "Ancient Ones" a member of an ancient American Indian people of the southwestern US, who flourished between c. 200 BC and AD 1500. The earliest phase of their culture, typified by pit dwellings, is known as the Basket Maker period; the present day Pueblo culture developed from a later stage.
After leaving Natural Bridges I began seeking more information and ruin locations that I could hike to and or parks and monuments that preserved these ruins on the remainder of this trip out west.
I should have mentioned that this was made with my first Sony digital camera and it only had 2.1 MP but did write the file to a mini-disc in Tiff format. That only took 45 seconds and you had to wait as there was no buffer. But the lens was a super sharp Carl Zeiss. My cell phone's camera is 8 MP...progress. Thanks

BTW, if you like a bit of humor of the things that have happened to me over the years on some of my photo adventures, try reading some of the stories in my Blog. I've just added the last two adventures that happened many years ago. Just waiting for the next humorous adventure to arrive.
I'm sure there must have been a couple of events that happened out of the ordinarily while some other photo adventures, but trying to remember back 15 years now is a real task. But when I do I will write them up and post to my Blog.
I went for a swim, and took my underwater camera along, just in case, as I often do when walking. Late in the day, near sunset, overcast and too dark to really do any underwater photography. I looked up and saw this view, and had to try photographing it. Life just takes my breath away sometimes.
Another version in first comment below- -but that intial processing made the image much bluer than it actually was. Above, I added a red filter,to try to get the image closer to what I saw-- more purples and grays. I loved how the cloud above the island almost looked lke a mirror of the island- such magic.
Where Does the Temple Begin,
Where Does It End?
by Mary Oliver (in Why I Wake Early)
"There are things you can’t reach. But
you can reach out to them, and all day long.
The wind, the bird flying away. The idea of God.
And it can keep you as busy as anything else, and happier.
The snake slides away; the fish jumps, like a little lily,
out of the water and back in; the goldfinches sing
from the unreachable top of the tree.
I look; morning to night I am never done with looking.
Looking I mean not just standing around, but standing around
as though with your arms open.
And thinking: maybe something will come, some
shining coil of wind,
or a few leaves from any old tree –
they are all in this too.
And now I will tell you the truth.
Everything in the world
comes.
At least, closer.
And, cordially.
Like the nibbling, tinsel-eyed fish; the unlooping snake.
Like goldfinches, little dolls of gold
fluttering around the corner of the sky
of God, the blue air."
All critiques very welcome. I'm not thin-skinned. I am looking for a camera with a bigger sensor- maybe a real DSLR.
I'm looking at the Nikon D5100 (because it has a swivel screen) and the Sony Nex 5 (because it's so lightweight-- this may clench the deal for me) and has a CMOS sensor, and a movable screen. I welcome all camera advice also. Heavy just won't work for me, as I like to hike and walk my dogs and take my camera with me. But I want the best sensor I can get, and a camera that does better in low light and in-doors and takes clearer photos.

Sometimes me think, "What is friend?" and then me say, "Friend is someone to share the last cookie with."
Sometimes life on the platform at Fullerton can be chaotic while the the Chief is being loaded. Here the assistant conductor walks toward the end of the train while the car attendant chases after a wayward passenger.

Oh Boy, it's a direction and a metaphor for life.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. No crap brother!
When I saw this sign, on that grey depressing day, I was speechless. I just stood there looking looking up as trailer trucks drove by honking. One meat-neck even stopped to ask if I was ok. Yeah, I was good but I needed my camera...
