This is before the rains. I can only imagine what Cambodia would look like once the fields are flooded. All that sky. A floating world.
This poor Eastern Phoebe looks a little raggedy and I would have passed it up except it had an insect in its beak and the more I looked at it, the more I believe it to be a horsefly with eyes of green and black stripes. What I found interesting is that the Phoebe didn't just chuck it back but had it in its bill for at least a minute. I thought that was interesting but have no idea why the bird would do that. Was it just enjoying the capture? But, in the end, thank you to the Phoebe because I hate the bite of horseflies. There's one less thanks to you!
Taken 13 June 2016 at Huntley Meadows Park, Virginia.
Things like this are much better appreciated in person.
After spending so much time with my eye to a viewfinder, I'm starting to rediscover that simple, basic truth.
Yesterday, for example, we had one of those moments where the sky is almost black, and then the sun breaks through, and it's late afternoon and the sun's rays are long and red, and it lights up the trees and the garden and a slice of sky... and I was tempted to grab my camera and go out and try to capture it... and then I realized I had no idea what I wanted to shoot to take advantage of the light, and I knew that, by the time I got my shit together the light would probably be gone anyway...
And so... instead of running around, chasing disappointment... I just stood gaping out the window at the lovely light.
The light in this photo is, of course, different light. And looked so much better in reality. Because the beauty of the sky is its vastness, its limitlessness, its endless variation. As soon as you cage it up in a frame, you lose that.
This concludes installment #472 in the series "Reasons I am not taking any pictures right now." Thank you for your time.

This is a similar shot of The Hive to the one I uploaded to my photostream earlier, only with the addition of some people looking at some silly bloke down below pointing his camera skywards!
This is a wire that I dipped in Glycerin. The lighting is a single 2B-24 with a red and green gel each covering half of the flash. The flash is pointed at a white background so this is completely backlit. I think the two gels create a very pleasing gradient.
This is another shot of the lovely weather we found at Tybee Island, GA. The Beautiful Weather for Gulls was shot at 9:43 am; this one, later the same day, at 9:09 am. It was shaping up as photographically interesting, but not much fun in the sun.

This image captures the iconic modern skyline of London, dominated by The Shard, the tallest building in Western Europe. The dramatic sky in the background enhances the futuristic architecture of the buildings. On the left, the distinctive, egg-shaped London City Hall seamlessly blends into the surroundings. The River Thames adds a calm, reflective quality to the scene, while the green trees provide a touch of nature amidst the urban landscape.
Just like a shot of an ARR coal train I shared not too long ago this really hurts. While it looks cool as a thumbnail when I zoom in it's enough to make me want to retch. And sadly this can not ever be repeated. I was shooting with a lower quality lense back then that just couldn't figure out where to focus when shooting wide, It hurts....but at least I have the memories.
This is obviously a Pan Am Railways special with the two OCS FP9As and two heritage GP9s trailing two business cars enroute to the Glory Days of the Railroad Festival in White River Junction. PAR 1 and PAR 2 are ex Canadian National FP9s 6505 and 6516 built in 1954 and 1957 respectively by GMDD. They passed from CN to VIA Rail in 1978 before being picked up by the Conway Scenic in 1995 when they expanded into Crawford Notch. After 15 years spent hauling tourists in the White Mountains 6505 & 6516 would become PAR 1 & 2 when traded to Pan Am Railways in March 2010 for GP38 252 and GP35 216. The two trailing 'heritage units' are unfortunately now landlocked on the Heber Valley Railroad in Utah. Numbers 52 and 77 are very much on home rails here but wear schemes they never would have worn originally. Both are former Boston and Maine GP9s blt. Dec. and Jun. 1957 as numbers 1726 and 1738 respectively and delivered in McGinnis blue, white and black 'bluebird' paint.
They are northbound on the former Boston and Maine Railroad Conn River mainline (now the New England Central Railroad's Palmer Sub) at about MP 163.7. They are crossing one of the most famous structures on the route, the Sugar River High Bridge, which crosses its namesake river and Main St. / NH Route 103 on this 684 ft long and 130 ft high deck girder span dating from 1931.

Mosaic of my photos of Australia. To be able to see the smaller photos properly .. view in larger original size. (2096 x 1863)
This bird seemed to have something in its bill and I couldn't figure it out until I saw it in my camera and saw that the bill was defective. Must be handling okay since it looks healthy to me.
This is the view you get of the Champ de Mars looking toward the tour Montparnasse, it’s funny to see such a big field in the middle of Paris; What a city!
This chunky bird is found in the Andes from Venezuela to Peru. It is olive above and white below with grayish flanks. The head is boldly striped with black and gray. Sexes similar. Pairs forage in the understory of montane forest, edges, and second growth, often on or very close to the ground. Typically occurs from around 1,500–3,000 m, but can locally range lower to about 500 m.
This one was photographed in Colombia guided by Neotropic Photo Tours.
Hello! This is just an outtake from the shoot I did a couple of days ago that I kind of liked and figured I would upload real quick.
Also, I know I said I would reply to everyone on Friday, but I've been super busy this weekend. I've done nothing but work and attend a super special awesome nerd convention in my home city, so I apologize that no one got a reply. I'm off to go to a family dinner right now, but I promise that once I get back home I will sit down and message everyone back. Thanks guys! :)
Spotted this gorgeous Hawthorn shieldbug which had coloured up very nicely! See 2nd one in comments for usual colouring, which was on the same shrub (cotoneaster). 1st one below is an alternative angle of above bug!

This is an absurd serie of wondering in the cemetery at All Saints day. A kind of disharmony was the purpose here!

This is a shot taken Jan. 3, 2025. These hawks will often hunt by hovering in place, flapping their wings if there is not enough wind. Red-tailed hawks will also do this.
In a stiff breeze they are able to just face into the wind and stay in place, known as kiting. I saw one of these hawks doing this today Jan 17, in a very stiff breeze, 20-30 mph. Some very cold weather is due to move in overnight.
This shot is of a soapbubble. We could have the impression it's a planet or exo-planet. Science can observe those planets at a very far distance, several lighyears away. They could contain life or could have contained life. The distance with their sun should be perfect, so that water is available in its 3 fases: liquid, gas and ice. The image title is also the name of a real exo-planet.
This stave church was built around the year 1180, and is one of the best preserved stave churches in Norway.
This lovely centenarian will be celebrating her 102nd Birthday and still works in and manages the 155 Year Old Fremont Store in Minnesota
This was taken on an early spring trip to Frenchman Coulee in central Washington. It seems like years ago, honestly.

This is the second in a series depicting construction progress on the last building site at the Southeast end of False Creek - TESORO by Concert Properties.
The photos will appear in album “ 2021 - Vancouver - Concert Properties - TESORO”.
I created this triptych from photos I took at the Barbara Hepworth 'Art and Life' at the Towner, Eastbourne.
A combination of 'Brass and String' and 'Project Spring Morning' 1957.
The title 'Orpheus' references the mythical Greek musician and poet who taught the god Apollo to play the lyre. Orpheus was also the inspiration for a collection of Rilke's poetry, 'Sonnets to Orpheus' of which Barbara Hepwoth owned two copies. The poetry may have formed a direct inspiration for these works, as 'Sonnet I' opens 'A tree ascending. O pure transcension/O Orphic song'. Hepworth drew a connection between the material form of the 'Orpheus' works and a sense of ascension, 'I found the most intense pleasure in this new adventure in material - and revelled in the lightness of the poise and delicacy of forms which seemed nearer to the flight of birds and their form in flight rather than to more gravity-bound rocks and humans'.

This is my adorable little Lünn from Dust of dolls, I love her, thank you so much my dear friends for this wonderful little one! She is so sweet, just like you <3
I need to find her a name...
This little cutie was all alone in the middle of the lake. Hopefully, he was reunited with his family eventually!
welcome to the 3rd part of this portrait series, 'Contour'. i had a great time working with the multi-talented Maiensy Sanchez, a Cuban dance teacher & performer in Seattle.
NOTE: due to my hectic schedule, i will no longer be accepting group invitations or submitting my images to groups. no icon, award or image in comments please :)
This was a super rare chance to see the original deco-esque paintings that Crowley created with artist Harris reflected his own dark weird take on the deck based around his self created magick religion Thoth. The kind of work you would never expect to see in Venice which is what made it so inspiring.
This beautiful Canvasback was part of the feeding frenzy that goes on at Lake Merritt!
Going on the annual Benicia bird count this morning...brrrr!..will catch up when I get back...thanks for visiting, have a lovely Monday!
This is a small area of woodland on Walthamstow Marshes. Trees are mostly willow with some elder and hawthorn. This part of the wood is relatively dry and doesn't flood in the winter.
This photo was taken during a drive around Flakstadøya on the main E10 route early one morning, around 6am. Very mountainous, it's one of the more southerly islands in the archipelago.
I'd heard that - on a visit to Lofoten in the winter months - twilight would often be the best time of day for photography. And it was true - the prolonged twilight hours around dawn and dusk every day were a major part of the appeal of these islands with the colours perhaps being more pronounced due to shorter winter days. The colours ranged from deep blue to soft pink, fiery orange, even purple, which - combined with the snow-covered landscape - made it unusually photogenic.
This is a picture of the Radio Tower (Funkturm) here in Berlin during festival of light 2014. I decided to create a composition based on a) a long exposure shot of the Radio Tower, b) a shot of a star scape over Berlin processed with StarStax and c) a picture of the super moon I shot some time ago. The post processing and blending of all the three shots was done with Photoshop, the pictures where taken with my Canon EOS 40D.
