my niece gave me this Amaryllis for Christmas.... my first one ever... and so exciting to see it change every day....
here's a powerful realization: in any moment i can begin again. if i'm lost in thoughts, externals, or busyness, i can return to myself, right now. there's a fresh start in every breath. the trick is this: remember to remember. when i remember to breathe and be, the world becomes a kinder place.

Dale Chihuly started his glass works in 1971 having studied in Venice.
Chihuly work is included in more than 200 museum collections world wide.
He has been the recipient of many awards, including two fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and thirteen honorary doctorates.
I've shot a good collection of his best.
I pride myself in not repeating the same types of photographs.
This is the exception...STUNNING WORLD CLASS WORK!
I hope you enjoy these...as much as I have.

Yesterday I spent some time in my garden. I found some nice surprises there. My tulips survived the three bouts of snow and heavy frost over the past week. But as I explored, I noticed that this year my Bloodwort plant has decided to spread to different parts of my garden. It is a plant that a friend brought me from the woods years ago. I love the blossoms on it and the huge leaves. It has done well all these years but I certainly did not expect all these little plants popping up far from the main plant. This tiny blossom was leaning against my black compost bin when I went to put something in it. By the time I went back inside to get my macro lens, there was this wonderful light shining on the bloom that showcased it beautifully. It was off to a new start of its own!
I have been sorting through old family photographs and putting them into online photo books for the past month now. There is a lot to remind me there of how my ancestors started in a new country with only a suitcase in hand and sponsors to help get them started. They were so grateful for a new start. Maybe we should embrace a new start after being forced into social isolation for this time. I certainly appreciate the beauty in my backyard more.
On a beautiful late winter morning in Altoona, a pair of pushers are already shoving hard on a westbound manifest beginning it's climb over the Allegheny mountains and the horseshoe curve. To the right is Alto tower, originally constructed in 1915, and retired from service in 2012. It still keeps guard over what is now known as "Altoona", watching endless trains glide down, or throttle up for their heavy pull over one of the most impressive shows in railroading. In previous trips, I had focused so much on other locations with signals, I never photographed here, and I'm so glad Alto was still standing, so I could get my very own shot here.
On this their first run for the Michigan Northern we find ex Seaboard RS12's 212 & 213 viewed from the M-115 overpass on the south side of Cadillac, Michigan. This run south toward Grand Rapids would not go well as the lead unit kept overheating and the second had so much oil leaking from the block it shut down before too long. It was a long sloooow chase and I gave up at Reed City - August 26, 1978.

Start of the day
I start every morning with a latte. As I was preparing to brew my espresso today, I noticed the light streaming in from a window illuminating the chrome of the Aquila espresso machine. It gave me an idea .. I positioned a camera and grabbed a shot as the delicious espresso was being extracted.
