This is Batman. The title is a reference to Koko the gorilla, who was taught American sign language. She combined words that she knew to refer to a kitten as "all ball". I've always loved that.
This house in Emporia, Kansas was home to journalist William Allen White. It is a National Historic Landmark.
This photo was shot during a trip to Tuscany in November 2021. See my workshops here www.hanskrusephotography.com/Hans-Kruse-Photo-Workshops/W...

This was the first shot I took with my new lens and the last shot that I took with my ND4 soft grad as it shattered of the rocks. Reasonably pleased with the results, note to one self dont track backwards on slippy rocks!
This tiny little mantis is picking his landing spot.
Still very busy and for the time being don't have much time to get out and take many photos and spend time on flickr. Hope all are doing well...

This is the last Fence photo from my trip to Daffodil Hill in central California mountains. it was so lovely there this year.
this is a candle holder that can also be used as a kind of Advent wreath: four red glases for tea lights, surrounded by metal (rein)deer and Christmas trees ... and enough space for more Christmas decorations (e. g. tiny Christmas baubles and glittery cones)
A gift I got from my mum - L❤VE it, deerly !! : ))

ein Kerzenhalter, der auch als eine Art Adventskranz verwendet werden kann: vier rote Gläser für Teelichte, umgeben von Rentieren/Hirschen und Weihnachtsbäumen aus Metall ... und genug Platz für weitere Weihnachtsdeko (wie Mini-Weihnachtskugeln oder Glitzer-Tannenzapfen)
Ein Geschenk, das ich von meiner Mutter erhalten habe - ich liebe es : ))
für die Gruppe 'Verrückter Dienstag' - Thema: Geschenke
Euch allen einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahrzehnt!
This photo was taken at Cedar creek trail along Boeing field. The end of the trail was the very end of the landing strip. There were a few planes that flew by minutes before this shot, but they were flying too low relative to the position of the sun. This one was perfect!
There was a thick haze yesterday, a natural filter that allowed me to shoot the sun in such detail.
*I shifted the colors of the earlier version. I decided to post the original.

This is the color version of my photograph "Into the mist". A friend suggested that it needs to be converted to sepia and lo and behold he is right. The fog was so thick you could barely see ten feet in front of you. Every once in a while we get this fog that hangs around all day and I usually head out to capture something unique. For more like this check out my Coastal Delaware set.
This 365 is TOUGH! Many days are a breeze as scenes fall into my lap.. other days I have to go out and do some landscape hunting. This one worked out ok.. but what the hell am I gonna do for tomorrow?

I was sure by now
That You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away
Chorus:
I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
- Praise You in this storm - Casting Crowns
Hello Flickr Friends! Thanks for all the views, comments, faves and invites :))
This is the small and elaborate flower (approx. 20 mm dia) of ironwee (Veronia gigantia) that surprisingly is a member of the Asteraceae (the same family as daisies and sunflowers). It is native to North America. and grows to a height of approximately 1.5 M. It is attractive to pollinators, but can be spread rapidly. Toxic to livestock.
Shot with two off-camera strobes (Godox AD200Pro/Godox XPro II L trigger). Flash A camera right, 30 degrees, modified with MagMod MagGrid. Flash B, bare bulb bounced off 23 in white umbrella.
Meridian Township, Michigan

I made a video all about how I created this image: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dH839ooQRDI&;
Poem/image: "This is Death", self-portrait May 2020. My fascination with death is no joke. Did you know that even though I love dark things, I am the most afraid person I know? Not of things like failure or risk or money...but of absurdities, like zombies and ghosts and the dark. I won't watch a movie if it is even remotely scary. I'm still scarred by Donnie Darko. I can hardly play Clue without feeling uneasy. But I think that is where my fascination with death comes from...if I can create it, I won't be so afraid. Where do you fall? Love scary things or hate them? What are your limits?

It isn't exactly that I am afraid of death.
In fact, I find death innately beautiful
and sacred, especially the decay.
You wouldn't believe the goosebumps
I get when I imagine bone protruding
or hair growing or blood dripping.
Death is a revelation, and decay His mistress,
waiting in the dirt to whisper melodies
long forgotten by the living.
It's not that I don't want to know what
death feels like or that I want to escape
the grand revelry of it.
It's not even that I fear the pain
or the suffering of my loved ones
in my absence - at least my last lesson
will be in
how to feel more deeply.
It's more the understanding that I fear.
That deep knowing without being able to
tell everyone: THIS, this is death.
It's the recognition that death itself
is not evil goading us to fear;
it is us, playing God, pretending.
We know that we are unknowing and that
unknowing is the unraveling that will
bring us to our knees to beg.
Death is not dumb and obtuse;
It knows we are afraid and it lets us feed on
stories of untimely, heroic, and painful ends.
It is our job to feed it our submission.
J aime beaucoup cette chanson de
** Tina Arena **

J'ai tant caché mes différences
Sous des airs ou des faux semblants
J'ai cru que d'autres pas de danses
Me cacheraient aux yeux des gens
Je n'ai jamais suivi vos routes
J'ai voulu tracer mon chemin
Pour aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Ou l'on oublie ses souvenirs
Aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Se rapprocher de l'avenir
J'ai perdu tant de fois la trace
Des rêves pour lesquels je vivais
Je n'ai pas su te dire je t'aime
Seulement te garder
Il faut aussi dire ses doutes
Et les poser dans d'autres mains
Pour aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Et dessiner des souvenirs
Aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Et croire encore à l'avenir
Pour aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Et dessiner des souvenirs
Aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Et croire encore à l'avenir
Aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Se rapprocher de l'avenir.
As I hid my differences
Air or under false pretenses
I thought that others do not dance
Me hiding in the eyes of people
I have never followed your route
I wanted to trace my way
To go higher, go higher
Or we forget memories
Jump higher, go higher
Move towards the future
I lost both times the trace
Dreams where I lived
I have not been able to tell you I love you
Only you keep
It must also be doubts
And ask them in other hands
To go higher, go higher
And draw memories
Jump higher, go higher
And believe in the future
To go higher, go higher
And draw memories
Jump higher, go higher
And believe in the future
Jump higher, go higher
Move towards the future.

This morning's view of one of the African Daisies...this is exactly how I feel today! Happy & alive! :o)
This is a photo of a person taking pictures on the iPhone and sending them home. I deliberately use a diagonal composition to break the rule of thirds. Black and white, why not? Experimental!
This is a humongous cockroach on display at the Butterfly Conservatory in the Falls. I know I would not want to put my hand in that aquarium to clean it out. Yuck!
This mini kilt is shorter than anything I've ever worn outside, however with opaque tights I think I could risk it.
This was the wedding present by his fellow officers in the Welsh guards instead of silver ware - Sir Clough Williams Ellis asked for a folly tower,in the open countryside of his estate at Plas Brondanw in the village of Llanfrothen/Garreg.
This is dishwashing liquid running in the water bubble.Christmas lights in the background created the bokeh lighting. You can see the soap catching the light clearly if the lighting is right with the naked eye...This picture was taken for Our Daily Challenge - Bubbles

This is an aerial shot of the Tata Salt Plant near Northwich, Cheshire. I believe salt has been extracted in this area for several hundred years, certainly before anyone had heard of Tata. The firm produces sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate and of course, sodium chloride.
This is the last view I had of the Grand Canyon before plunging into its abyss for a descent of 1400m. It is a very beautiful park without being my favorite in the region.
This is unpublished from last year. I caught this cranefly napping among the tall grass blades in the early morning. HFDF everyone!

I've seen this book numerous times over the years and never bought it, but it seems lockdown was the perfect time to wreck this journal, a lot more fun than I expected!
This is the listing pic. I haven't had time to take my own, but I recently found a great deal on this fridge. I've wanted one for ages! :) I have exciting plans for this. I just need more time.
This is an image from a trip to the beautiful Lofoton Islands in Norway from a few years ago.
I am taking a small group back out this February and have a place left if anyone is interested in joining us send me a Flickr mail and I will give you the details.
This Black Browed Albatross was photographed somewhere in the Southern Atlantic Ocean between Argentina and the Falkland Islands.
Whilst others on the boat were knocking back their cocktails I was often to be found out on deck, constantly being blown around whilst on the look out for seabirds. There were good numbers at times but the Black Browed Albatross and the Southern Giant Petrels were the two species that came close and showed interest. As such most of the photographs I took were of these two species. Both species but in particular the albatross hardly seemed to move a muscle and simply wheeled around floating on the updraft from the ocean.
This shot requires two more people to complete.
No matter how long we waited, no team of four crossed the street together.
So I left it unfinished. Someday the opportunity will come.
