"Turn your face towards the sun
Let the shadows fall behind you
Don't look back, just carry on
And the shadows will never find you"

Maybe it's just me, but it seems an odd juxtaposition - sun bathing and destroyers ...
Nonetheless, they seem rather chilled.
I was pleased to see this young Robin apparently sunbathing at Stover Park. After reading about it on the internet, they do this to maintain their feathers. It helps with the oiling of them and can drive out parasites. It looks really cute though.

my baby Qanuk, Alaskan Malamute, look at his "snow nose" - he's got that white stripe every Winter :-)
New treatment on an old shot..I can NOT wait for Spring and warm weather. I'll always remember taking this shot on my way home from work one day. As I passed one of the reservoirs the sun was reflecting off the water just right and the poppies were thick and waving in the warm breeze as if to say 'here we are, we've been waiting for you!' I slammed on the brakes, found a place to park and hiked back to the poppies with my camera in hand. It felt like a magical moment but in reality it was just my brain being open to the moment and processing the world through the photographer's mind..always looking for 'The Shot'. Photography really is 90% observation..taking the time to see the shot, both what's in front of you and what's in your creative mind, and then using that last 10% to get it captured. But it all begins with seeing..observing. So often we are rushing through life trying to get it all done in a day and then diving into the next day to do it again without making the time to look around us. But it's always there, waiting for us to take the time to see.
Hundreds of California sea lions sunbathing on Pier 39 in Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco. They just relax , bark and nudge each other off the platforms. They are viewed by thousands of tourists throughout the year... . Well, I was there just for 5 minutes to take few shots.

I wish I'd had my 35mm on rather than my 12mm on when I took this shot, but it was a spur of the moment thing and it was just what I had on the camera. This is cropped quite a bit, and still it feels a little too wide, but I like the moment it captures otherwise.
I am a beginner in Photography. I try to turn Ordinary things into Extra Ordinary. That's what I love about photography.

Photoshoot: Aston Martin DB9, in coöperation with Van Zuijlen Auto's
Last friday, I shot this car and therefore got to drive it almost all day, and I loved it!
I was really impressed by the performance of the car, due to it's subtle and elegant lines.
She's such a beauty, but like the owner told me when I picked up the car: "She drives like a dragon, especially when she's cold."
I know the car has a V12 engine that puts out 470HP, but it still impresses me how mean this car sounds as you start it up, while she looks so classy.
The attention you get is not what I expected at all, I've driven the LP670 SV and that's a screamer so I had expected to be rather discreet in this car but she turned out to be quite a neck-twister aswell. I had a blast driving and shooting this car, so you'll be seeing more of this shoot soon.
