this pole reminded me of a pine cone, but the bright blue sky didn't quite fit, so I used the sepia effect in iPhoto to emphasize the wood tones.
This is what every photographer looks for in a photo, feeling, location, colors, art, fashion ... the key lies when most of these qualities come together in a single shoot.
The naturalness itself is a scarce art and is in danger of disappearing, since this world in which we live forces us to move without thinking and without observing our own environment.
The true freedom lies in being able to enjoy our surrounding without unnecessary distractions to be able to glimpse the true beauty of the place where we are and that we enjoy.
A greeting to all my followers and continue enjoying with photography!

Esto es lo que todo fotografo busca en una foto, sentimiento, localización, colores, arte, moda... la clave reside cuando gran parte de estas cualidades se junta en una sola instantanea.
La propia naturalidad es un arte escaso y en peligro de desaparecer, ya que este mundo en el que vivimos nos obliga a movernos sin pensar y sin observar nuestro propio entorno.
La verdadera libertad reside en poder disfrutar de nuestro entorno sin distraciones innecesarias para poder vislumbrar la verdadera belleza del lugar donde nos encontramos y del que disfrutamos.
Un saludo a todos mis seguidores y a seguir disfrutando con la fotografia!

You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want your story to remain untold
But all the promises we made
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
You say you'll give me a highway with no one on it
A treasure just to look upon it
All the riches in the night
You say you'll give me eyes in a world of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest
But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
You say you want your love to work out right
To last with me through the night
You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold
Your love not to grow cold
All the promises we break
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
U2 - "All I Want Is You"
For an empty abandoned old house, this one is remarkable. Not only is it architecturally cool, it is also not over-run by trees allowing one a clear view of it's grand exterior.
Agnes: Alright guys, I think this may have gone too far.
Bruno: What do you mean gone too far? You're sitting right beside me.
Agnes: I mean this book. I'm not entirely comfortable with attention from people beyond my core group.
Bruno: That may be the craziest thing that you've ever said. Attention from random strangers is great. They all love me.
Eva: I think the book looks great. It captures my true spirit - intelligent, beautiful and humble.
Bruno: I take excellence to that.
Eva: Don't you mean "exception to that"?
Bruno: Nope. Definitely excellence to that. I'm excellent at intelligence.
Eva: Sometimes I don't think you hear yourself.
Bruno: Sometimes I hear too much of you. And hey - who's that handsome dog sitting on that hill in the placemat?
Agnes: Dude, it's you!
Bruno: I knew that. Because he's handsome and I'm excellent at intelligence.
Eva: And also, it's a page proof from the book - not a placemat.
Bruno: I disagree. It's a placemat because anything that you put food on is a placemat. So I'm just going to sit here and stare until someone puts a big pile of cookies down on it.

This is an exciting time. For about the past year and a half I have been working on a book of dogversattions. It is now so close to done that it is starting to feel real.
There will be two versions of the book. On the table are page proofs of an interior page, the cover (partly hidden) and a 'test print' of the premium version which is landscape format and on glossy paper. This will be the version that I am getting a print run on with 1,000 copies being shipped to me later this week. I have arrangements to sell this through a couple of local book stores and the University of Saskatchewan. A portion of the UofS sales will be donated to the vet college companion fund to pay for treatments of animals in need.
Because of printing and general distribution costs of this version would be too high, we are also putting together a smaller square format non-glossy version that will be available through on-line sellers such as Amazon and be available to be stocked in physical book stores around the world.
More information will be on my website in the next couple of weeks. www.DogversationsBook.com
And by the way - Bruno was mostly right about the placemat. There was a motivational cheerio on the book that I cloned out in post-processing.
this is one of two photos on my stream that have false viewing stats, accumulated rapidlly between october and december 2022. other flickr users have experienced similar stats inflation in this period, for reasons known only to flickr. i reckon under normal circumstances this photo would have accumulated between 6-7000 views by january 2023. the other one with false stats is here

This is the city's popular spot for walks. You've got a beautiful park along side the sea and some wildlife.
This Ladybug was all snug like a bug in a rug deep inside a Dahlia flower. I did check to make sure she was alive and she was. Reminded me that we all have to take solace and close the doors to the outside world even if for a little while.
This Adult bird was photographed enjoying the Winter sunshine on the grassland at RSPB Frampton Marsh {Lincolnshire, U.K.}.
This high-resolution image captured by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft combines blue, red and infrared images taken by the Ralph/Multispectral Visual Imaging Camera (MVIC). Pluto’s surface shows a remarkable range of subtle colors, enhanced in this view to a rainbow of pale blues, yellows, oranges, and deep reds. The bright expanse is the western lobe of the “heart,” informally known as Tombaugh Regio. The lobe, informally called Sputnik Planum, has been found to be rich in nitrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane ices.
This is a weird material and nothing about it is particularly nice, its rough and scratchy to the touch, not very flexible, itchy (especially my hessian underpants!) and has an aura of cheapness and peasantry about it but it does look good in close up!

This series of images is from a trip to Torridon in the north west Highlands of Scotland in late autumn 2023.
Red lily petals after a late afternoon thunderstorm. Gardens lush from the rain, warm and steamy air sweet with the smell of all things blooming, the sounds of birds and buzzing little winged things....this is Summer. 8)
I hope you're all having a wonderful Summer weekend. I'm in Atlanta for the weekend. Will catch up with your streams when I get back.
This is the beach that I took recently with my two young photographers. Today no one but the ducks were there and the ground was marshy.
Thanks for visiting, enjoy each day and stay safe. #BeKind
This ship is always a glorious sight when you have a good Winter sunset.
To get the shot, starting in Portugal, go to the Marina at Olhao, and walk down towards the fish market. You can't miss it.
Ever have a morning when you shoot more good shots in ten minutes than you have shot in the past year?
This morning contained that ten minutes.
Ten minutes that I had before beginning the school bus run.
What a morning! The light mist made everything wonderful to my eye.
This is Molly, my cat.
She has recently realized that she's a "prisoner" in our home. She has been depressed since then. Everyday I feed the feral cats and she sees them walking freely outside. It's heartbreaking... She spends part of her day on this window.
This building was an former nib-factory in Iserlohn, NRW, Germany.
Now it is used as an office for job seekers

After this picture, the handcuffed folks complained that I was taking their picture, and this cop got all in my face saying I couldn't take pictures anymore and to beat my feet. He was dead wrong and either does not understand photgrapher's rights or was just being a bully. I take pictures of people being arrested not to be dick but to make sure the cops treat them decently. I have seen pigs treat people like shit and whoop their ass when they think no one is watching, but if they see a camera, they become extremely polite. I am doing this not to identify people who may or may not be guilty of petty crimes, but to protect them from police abuse. As long as a photographer is not getting in the way of a criminal investigation, which you can see that I wasn't as they were just relaxing after busting these two, perhaps waiting for the paddy wagon, I have every right to film anything. Of course, for my own safety, when any cop tells me to do anything, I don't argue, I just comply, as I have got my ass beat good by the S.F.P.D. for nothing on a number of occasions. I don't respect the S.F.P.D., I fear them, for a damn good reason, they are bullies and will use excessive force for little or no reason, which is why I was filming this. Dumb ass pigs. His commanding officer needs to have a little chit chat with him about what he can and cannot tell people to photograph. I take lots of pictures of cops, for the sole reason that they are a brutal gang, capable of murder and mayhem and need to be kept in check and my weapon, a very useful one is my camera.
Salute to me, I'm your American Queen
And you move to me like I'm a Motown beat
And we rule the kingdom inside my room
I photographed this Crimson-backed Tanager (Ramphocelus dimidiatus) at Entreaguas Reserva Natural, near Coello in Ibagué, Tolima, Colombia. The species feeds on insects, fruit and seeds, mostly in the undergrowth and middle levels at forest edges. In the breeding season it forages in pairs or family groups, and outside it in flocks of its own species. In Colombia, nests have been found in many months of the year. Its most common call is a nasal chank. IUCN lists it as Least Concern. Its closest relative is the Masked Crimson Tanager.
I used a Canon R5 with the RF 800mm f/11 for this one, at 1/500 sec, f/11, ISO 3200. Entreaguas, in the Coello–Cocora area of Ibagué, offers ecological walks and birdwatching tours.

This is one of my favourite areas in Tokyo. How about having a cup of coffee together after taking a walk around here?

Went back to Erieau this weekend and found much better skies. Although most of the ice had melted from the inlet there was still a few crystals near the edge as seen in the bottom right. The clouds kept rolling in and out giving this cool reflection. The tall orange glow on the horizon is from some burn off or tower on the other side of the lake near Cleveland. It really stood out tonight. Further out on the lake you can see the ice is still floating on top. Loving this K 10D.......5 min @f 5.6 100 iso...
