This has to be one of the grandest Co-op stores in the country, and its ornamented gable proudly proclaims it was built in 1890 by the Co-operative Society Limited. It has a classical figure in relief on either side and at the top, a chubby cherub.

This was just north east of Lostine, Oregon. We were hoping for a bit of snow around the field, but there was none to be found.

This Phantom from the Silver Kings of VF-92 was photographed at NAS North Island on 12 August 1975. It was a member of Carrier Air Wing 9 (CVW-9) along with its famous sister squadron, VF-96, which was then assigned to the USS Constellation (CV-64)
This particular Phantom was the squadron commander's aircraft. VF-92 home based at NAS Miramar and was disestablished on 12 December 1975.
Was going to upload something else when I went through last winter's archive.
First of all I really hesitated between this and a square crop instead. Still not sure about it.
Then I know it's probably a bit dark for a winter scene but I was just trying out a few things. Anyway, all feedback welcome!
So I went and saw the neurosurgeon again today and he basically told me to keep taking the B12 supplement since my B12 levels are low and it can take months to see the effect of taking them. I can handle that.
But then he said the unthinkable...he said I should stop drinking for 3 months to see if that has any effect on it! THREE MONTHS WITH NO BEER, are you kidding me :-(
But I guess I gotta do it to see if it will help make things better.
So I go back to my regular Doc in a month to see if my B12 levels are improving. So it's just more waiting.
I wanted to thank all of you once again for your support, it really helps :-)
Random Fact: I will not be quitting drinking till next Monday! I have a growler and a half that I got a few days ago. No way I am putting that wonderful goodness to waste...heh.
Yes I am making a joke of a serious condition but thats my way of dealing with it so please don't think I am not taking this serious
In my dreams I'm dying all the time
As I wake its kaleidoscopic mind
I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to lie
So this is goodbye. This is goodbye

This song sparrow had been snacking on the flowers of this bush, but was distracted by my presence. At least it stayed in place, allowing my maneuvering to get a nice bokeh!
After some kind of winter-sleeping, i finally had a people-shooting again yesterday. This is one of our last results and i really loved it because i'ts so different from my usual style.
A little bit of mystery, a lot of romanticism, backlight... just the things i love :D

This is taken from the tour bus when we went to northwestern China. It was the beginning of June and we were very lucky to see sheep migrating for the season. They were moving their way up to the mountains, and would come down to the fields sometime in Sept. Everybody on the tour bus was so excited accept the driver :) I managed to grab this shot through the windshield. Used Photoshop to clean off the reflection and finishing editing in HDRtist NX 2.
HDRtist NX 2 is a MAC software I co-develop with my husband. If you'd like to see what it looks like before I used NX 2, please click here : www.flickr.com/photos/24426865@N03/49114010197/in/datepos...
Artists Statement:
This painting captures a fleeting moment in early winter, where the landscape is transformed by the low, golden light that bathes the scene. The curving river bank, gently blanketed in snow, is outlined on the one side by trees whose tops glow with the warm hues of the rising sun. Painted in a high-key fashion, the work employs soft, coarse horizontal strokes for the water and a smoothness to evoke the feel of the flat white snowy fields, while the water—rich in greys, reds, and pale purples—reflects the cold light and the dark reflections of the trees, creating an interplay of warmth and chill.
The overall composition is designed to feel ephemeral, as the edges of the scene gradually fade into the surrounding whiteness of the snow, giving the viewer a sense of both the vastness and quiet intimacy of winter. The trees, though delicate in their soft brushwork, stand resilient against the cold, their glowing tops providing a gentle contrast to the more muted colours of the water and the snow.
In this piece, I sought to explore the subtle beauty of winter’s transitional moments, where the harshness of the season meets the fragile warmth of light. The interplay of colour and light, combined with the fading edges, speaks to the transient nature of time—how moments of clarity are often fleeting, but nonetheless beautiful in their impermanence.
This juvenile Reddish Egrett is looking for something in its underwing feathers.

The Alex Theater welcomes productions to film in their theater. Unfortunately, most film productions are still shut down, with only a few going, and those are scattered all over the Los Angeles area. The Alex was one of many theaters built at the beginning of the Great Depression, and it did very good business. If you didn't work and wanted to get out of the heat or cold or rain, fifteen cents for admission and ten cents for a bag of popcorn would give a person a few hours of respite.
But with the coronavirus, even theaters can't operate for fear of carrying and spreading the disease. Movies and theaters survived the Depression, they survived WWII, they survived the threat of TV. But it's going to be tough to survive this pandemic.
This is an old shot of the ice on Bronte Creek in Oakville that I played with in Luminar4 to adjust the colours and give it blue overtones.
This small Grade II*-listed medieval parish church is notable for being dedicated to The Head of St John the Baptist. The church has a very fine medieval rood screen dating from around 1500 AD. The church is fllled with beautiful wooden carvings by the Rev. Reginald Page, who was rector in the 1920s and 1930s. Some of his work can be seen on the pulpit and on the walls, where there is a finely carved memorial to those lost in the First World War.
Found this photo in an old diary..it read
Ben Lawers ...5.5 miles..Very windy with snow on tops.
Today I took a right battering in the form of winds that almost knocked me off my feet. Snow was also a bit of a hindrance to say the least, It stings the face you know,a pair of full face swimming goggles would have come in handy. We had planned to go to the summit of An Stuc but it disappeared in a blizzard as we struggled to stand on Ben Lawers...decided to retreat back down via Ben Ghlas.
This group of funsters were out in Piccadilly having a jape on April fools day, they go by the name of :-
The Moods have a listen, they are quite good.
This is the centre section of the chapel ceiling Worcester College, Oxford
The Chapel
The College Chapel was built in the eighteenth century. Dr George Clarke, Henry Keene and James Wyatt were responsible for different stages of its lengthy construction (1720–91), owing to shortage of funds. The interior columns and pilasters, the dome and the delicate foliage plastering are all Wyatt's work. His classical interior was insufficiently emphatic for the tastes of militant Victorian churchmen, and between 1864 and 1866 the chapel was redecorated by William Burges. It is highly unusual and decorative; being predominantly pink, the pews are decorated with carved animals, including kangaroos and whales, and the walls are riotously colourful, and include frescoes of dodos and peacocks. Its stained glass windows were to have been designed by John Everett Millais, but Burges rejected his designs and entrusted the work to Henry Holiday. Oscar Wilde said of the Chapel, 'As a piece of simple decorative and beautiful art it is perfect, and the windows very artistic.

Red and white SD40-2s crisscrossed Canada literally as the face of Canadian Pacific for a generation. The fact that a pair of Mulitmarks working a ballast extra on CP's Cranbrook Subdivision was cause for excitement would have been almost inconceivable, even just a few short years ago. But here we were, after two hours of sleep and hours of driving, standing face to face with red and white safety stripes in the wilds of British Columbia, and feeling like we had struck gold.
We stood at the East Siding Switch Swansea and watched light power pull out of the siding before the conductor lined the switch to make a runaround move. Such a mundane moment in railroading. But that's what SD40-2s are all about. Mundane. Doing the daily chores and doing them well. Doing them reliably for years and years and years. They outlived their contemporaries from other builders, sometimes by decades.
Imagining that this could possibly be my last sighting of a CP SD40-2 in the wild is almost unthinkable.
But as much as I hate to admit it to myself, yes, this is rare.
This is image was captured using a 60mm Hydrogen-alpha (Hα) telescope. It is showing the Sun's chromosphere.
There were very interesting features on August 18, 2022. At the top is a filament in the shape of a circle. It is also raised quite a distance above the chromosphere. Going down to the right thee is a very large and thick filament. Just to the left of that filament is a sunspot (AR3081) surrounded by a plage.

This is not a photoshot effect. Those colours was the result of a very dry weather, dust in the air and smoke from wildfires elsewhere.

Great to be back, time to say hello, catch up a bit.
Thanks so much for keeping in touch while I was away, really appreciate your visits and comments and notes and such. Keep those cards and letter comin’ folks, always welcomed and encouraging. A little something to share.
It was one of those days, crazy busy, last minute changes and revisions, we’re all scrambling to get the job done, frantic to meet the deadline and no time for lunch. We’re starving.
Finally, late in the afternoon, the sign off. Yippee! Let’s eat.
We went to The Grenadier Restaurant in the middle of High Park. First time I’ve been since they renovated, nice job, a great little place with friendly staff that serves a tasty all day breakfast. Perfect. There’s nothing that hits the spot like a big plate of bacon and eggs served with home fries, cracked wheat toast, peanut butter& jam and a slice of Orange topped off with a tad of parsley.
“…and after we finish eating, how about we take a walk down to the pond, it’s such a gorgeous evening”. What a great idea, a gorgeous evening indeed, the perfect time to take a stroll through the park to see what the creatures are up to.
It was the first real taste of spring in the big smoke this season and our walk in the fresh air was certainly welcomed after being cooped up in the office all day. The sun was just about to set behind the trees and as we turned the corner to approach the pond there it was, the magic moment.
What a wonderful day this turned out to be.

This one was standing still for a few minutes concentrating on movement in muddy water below, biding its time for right moment to make a kill. And there you are.
This was my second time driving with spike tires after Iceland in winter 2022. It's just so much fun, flying over ice and snow with perfect traction :)
This very broad frontage is Hartlebury Castle, home to the Bishops of Worcester after it was given by Henry III to his Chancellor, Godfrey Giffard, Bishop of Worcester in 1268, along with the right to fortify it. It was loyal to Charles I throughout the Civil War - at least until May 1646 when Roundhead forces managed to capture it without firing a single shot. It then became a prison for royalist supporters. Parliament wanted to demolish it, but that proving too expensive, it was sold. With the Restoration, it was handed back to the bishops, but in an uninhabitable state. Rebuilding began and continued until the late 18th century.
It remained the home of the bishops of Worcester until the 21st century, and in 2007 the Church Commission sold Hartlebury Castle and the accompanying land, to Hartlebury Castle Preservation Trust. It houses the Hurd Library, still on its original shelves since 1782, and Worcestershire County Museum in its north wing, which has several interesting collections.
We visited on a thoroughly wet day, the rain only stopping about 20 minutes before we left...
This reminded me of a modern version of VanGogh's painting The Bedroom.

i think this is some kind of wild orchid, although i found it hanging from the tree in a mall park today. the first time i saw one of these and it is quite a remarkable flower to shoot!
happy sunday my friends! did not get headaches today hooray!!! and blood pressure is controlled! aaaaah this is bliss!!!
almost bedtime here in manila so i will have to catch up with you in the morning!
I saw this at the garden department of Home Depot. I haven't gotten it for my garden--yet. [EDIT: Looks like I won't, either, because when I went back to buy it, there were no more. Next time I will not resist the urge for an impulse purchase.]
Here's some information about this lovely flower.
Enjoy your Sunday.

This is the oak tree on Cannock Chase that is thought to be the idea for Fangorn (Treebeard) and the "Ents" in J R R Tolkien's Lord of the rings.
Tolkien lived about three miles from this tree, he also did his army training in the camps that were on the Chase. He could have walked past the tree most days.
This image was taken in early summer, it is more impressive in the winter without any foliage around, (see other image in my album "Trees" ) www.flickr.com/photos/redpixl/54249119204/in/album-721777...
This view of southern California was taken by the Apollo 7 crew during their 18th revolution of the Earth, on Oct. 12, 1968. Photographed from an altitude of 124 nautical miles, the coast of California can be seen from Point Mugu southward to Oceanside. Santa Catalina can be seen below the off shore clouds. Details of the Los Angeles area are obscured by pollution which extends from Banning westward for 100 miles to beyond Malibu. In the upper portion of the photograph can be seen (left to right) the San Joaquin Valley beyond Bakersfield, the Techachapi Mountains, the Sierra Nevada, Owens Valley, Death Valley and the Mojave Desert.
Apollo 7, which launched on Oct. 11, 1968, and was nicknamed "The Walt, Wally and Donn Show," was the first crewed Apollo mission to launch. The mission demonstrated the capabilities of the Command and Service Module, mission support facilities' performance during a crewed mission and Apollo rendezvous capability, as well as the first live TV broadcasts from space.
