This is a 300 feet water fall on the river Aiyaru, located in a valley surrounded by mountains on all sides. The steps leading to the falls from Arapaleeshwarar temple tests your endurance to the core. The entire area was getting sprayed with water and keeping the equipment dry was a big challenge. This is the only shot, I didn't have water sprayed on my UV filter.

This was a shot from one of my favorite clematis vines. I always look forward to these plants blooming! I do love to go out at night and take photo's! Have a wonderful Friday dear friends!!
Finally they got the message, thanks for changing it back to a better format and no black page to squint at,
My Sunday Sunset outing at the harbor.
This shot is from our trip to Sulphur Oklahoma. I like this photo because it seems so peaceful....and they all wanted to be in the shot, showing off their good side...I didn't even have to say 'cheese'....lol
This is the last image I'll add in 2014.
So once again, I wish all my Flickr friends the very best for the New Year '2015'
Stay safe and be well,

This past weekend, while out filling one of my birdbaths, I happened to glance down and spotted three miniscule, itty-bitty, teeny-weeny mushrooms peeking out from under some plants.
Thinking they would make a nice little photo, I wondered what to use to show scale? But then as I was filling one of my suet feeders, I happened to glance down and spotted a cicada shell nestled in the grass. I knew they were around because of their constant sound, but didn't expect to actually find a shell!
Now, with two distinctly different things to get shots of, I decided to combine these gifts of nature into one shot.
** Unfortunately, my camera wouldn't cooperate and focus on the subjects. Even after dozens of shots, this was the best I could manage, so this is mostly to document the presence of cicadas this summer. *sigh*
This was imaged in the west until it passed behind a tree, west is not the best direction from my location. This was taken back at the beginning of September but it’s taken until now to get the enthusiasm up to process it as I’ve imaged and processed this on 3 other occasions but this is the first time with this camera.
Object Description:-
M27 the Dumbbell Nebula is a Planetary Nebula and lies in the constellations of Vulpecula. Its distance is about 1,360 ly with a visible magnitude of 7.5 and a diameter of 6 arcmin so it quit a small but bright object and is easily seen in a small telescope. It is believed that this star went nova about 14,600 years ago.
Note:-
As there is a lot of detail to be had in the Oiii (like most planetary Nebula and Super Nova remnants) I combined it with the Ha to create the luminance Layer.

This red squirrel (Coco) is smelling something. I could see the nose working - he was just above a meter away from me (Squirrels-2019-1823.jpg)
This year I'm using as many APS cameras as I can, this was taken with a Nikon Nuvis-S on expired Jessop Diamond ISO 200 film, developed in the Bellini C41 kit.
This one is for the GOLDEN BEARS of the University of California, who beat Stanford at Big Game this weekend 34-28! GREAT game.
The Campanile, or Sather Tower, is the symbol of the University of California, often called the world's best public university. The tower stands 307 feet tall and houses 61 bells which are rung three times daily by a carillon choir. It was originally built in 1914.
This is a shot I've been planning since I moved to Berkeley this summer. The University had been repairing the scaffolded Campanile all fall, and it was finally unveiled last week.
Go Bears! Go Cal!
Canon 5D, Canon 100-400L, f/13, 6s, ISO 50. Two exposure blend to retain the detail in the water and the color in the sky.

This guy was the first revisit I made when I reached Splinter Hill this morning...I was glad to see him on the same Sumac as my previous visit, and doing well! He'll continue to grow in size but his appearance won't change much...

This is the outside of the narrow shuttered window to the ladies' loo, which has a fine hydrangea growing around it.
This is how Texas does crepes; out of a trailer.
While my hopes ran high that this pre-hipster hipster experience would rank high on the experience scale, the menu was overly too hipster. Banished from the menu were any plain egg & cheese crepes, what would otherwise be a late night staple. There wasn't even any ice cream even for the nutella and banana crepes!
Perhaps, though, it was the ambience, which apparently included people who had never had crepe ("crepe? I thought you said it 'creep'").
This picture is dedicated to the one who illuminates my life just the way the moon illuminates a dark night.
This was my first time bear spotting.
This female sensed my present and stood up tall to me only a couple of meters away. I couldn't capture the whole bear because she was so close to me. It was a little too close for comfort, but it was a great experience.
This two-storeyed former hotel was constructed in 1885 for Brisbane publican Daniel Costigan. It replaced a previous, less substantial structure on the site, which had functioned as the Plough Inn since 1864. The new building was erected during South Brisbane's heyday and was part of the 1880s boom-time reconstruction of Stanley Street premises.
The building was designed by architect Alexander B. Wilson, who is more known for his domestic work. It was built by contractor Abraham James, whose tender of £3,300 was accepted in March 1885.
The hotel, prominently located in central Stanley Street, serviced the commercial heart of South Brisbane. Its proximity to the South Brisbane wharves ensured its popularity amongst those engaged in shipping interests.
Initially the L-shaped interior comprised on the ground floor: a central hall, staircase, dining room, two private rooms (probably for dining also), bar, parlour, storage spaces, billiard room, and lavatories; the first floor contained fourteen guest rooms and a bathroom. A verandah along the back of the building connected it to a detached single-storey kitchen. A cellar completed the facilities.
The building has been altered a number of times since its initial construction. In 1922, additions were made by contractors Robertson and Corbette, following the designs of GHM Addison and Son. It is thought that the street awning was added at this time.
In 1987 the building was modified to function as a tavern during Expo '88. Most of the internal walls were removed, the central fireplace and chimney were taken out, and the interior was re-fitted. Also the front verandah was widened, the rear verandah extended, and windows and doors replaced at this time.
In 1991 - 1992 a conservation plan for the Plough Inn was prepared by Bruce Buchanan architects, and the interior was fully refurbished. The front verandah was also reconstructed.

This young Cooper's hawk was enjoying a nice bath and paused for a photo shoot across from my house.
This pic of a lovely little oak was taken a couple of year's ago after a snowfall. Had some snow on Sunday morning and went for a drive out but haven't processed any shots yet. Maybe later.
This bee is visiting my catmint plant. I haven't seen very many bees in my backyard this year. I hope they're getting ready to come out soon.
Take into account that I am not permanent here.
Away I am swimming.
Three.
Ps. I have received sopranosflight's print.
I might say I squealed a little when it came in the mail.
I tagged her, so you should go check out her wondrous stream.
This was S801BWC TA1 last day of public service. After 16 years of service the bus will then be withdrawn and then be preserved by the London Bus Museum in Brooklands.
she injured two of her paw pads at the dog park and spent much of the last few days right here, like this.
