This is at Andretti Winery...yes owned by Mario himself; located in the Napa Valley. Very nice environment there.
This is the pic as shot. The next one is corrected with DXO viewpoint for both distorton (not really visible in this pic) and 'volume deformation'
This is a different mosquito-like Dance Fly in the family Empididae on a male staminate catkin of Arroyo Willow (Salix lasiolepis, Salicaceae) by the creek. This one is visibly different from the ones I show in this photo, smaller and blacker. It's dusted with pollen from the flowers. These tiny flies do a great job of transporting pollen as they go back and forth between the separate male and female plants of this dioecious tree. HFDF! (San Marcos Pass, 16 February 2017)
We've had more than 8-1/2 inches of rain since last night, and it's still coming as I type this! It was raining so hard today that I never got out, and the highway was closed from both ends anyway. I'll get out tomorrow to inspect the damage, but the creeks drop fast after the rain stops. I would like to see the lake. The river peaked today at 13,200 cfs - a lot of water under the bridge! I can't find any news, but the lake must be filling after being down below ten percent capacity during the drought - just a month ago. Sounds crazy, but it's happened before. It's nice how San Marcos Pass was the target for this storm - just as the NWS forecast.
(Hah - three of us foolish friends carried a raft down to Gibraltor Dam and rafted down the Santa Ynez River to the first crossing after the "March Miracle" rains of 1991 when we got almost 20 inches of rain in one week. We got to the end after dark to be greeted by the Search & Rescue people that Julie had called who were wondering what to do about us. I'm glad I did it, but never again!)
This is the updating of an older model for Valentine's Day, with Omega Appliers to fit both Classic and Mesh bodies. I hope you like it! Come and find it and many others in my main store in South Pointe!

Although there are many complaints about the cost of rail travel in the UK, passengers often overlook the cheap advance tickets. I travel frequently from London to the Midlands for £3.95, and today I booked a First Class ticket from London to Weymouth for £15. After buying them online, tickets may be picked up from these machines within minutes. More or less any website of a train company will sell tickets for any train journey - it does not have to be with the train company you are buying from, and there are no booking fees.
Passengers who like to pay booking fees will no doubt prefer to buy from thetrainline.com or Red Spotted Hanky.
There is a mystery about the booking process. One has to stipulate the station where you will collect the tickets from a machine, and if you choose one different from the departure station, a red warning comes up to ask whether this is really your intention. However, by experimenting I have found that you can collect them from any machine in the UK which you choose, not just the one you are made to opt for. Another oddity is that you are told you must initially insert into the machine the actual card used to buy the ticket. However, I have found that I can use any of my other cards and it works perfectly. Later, I intend to experiment with an out of date card, or even a card belonging to someone else (they will not be charged, as the tickets have already been paid for).
Perhaps at some stage we could be told the facts about the booking process to save passengers a bit of trouble.
This dragonfly was such a great model! It sat there about 10 minutes and didn't care about anything.
This is my wife Poulami after completing the ritual of Sindur-khela (literally, vermilion-play) that takes place at the end of Durga Puja, the biggest festival of Bengali Hindus.

This car was in a display of Ferraris at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1997 which featured a tribute to the marque. It's a replica of the Ferrari 156 with which Phil Hill won the Drivers' World Championship in 1961, the original cars being dismantled by Ferrari, as was then their custom, at the end of their useful working life. The singer-songwriter Chris Rea had this replica built to be used in his 1996 film 'La Passione', which he intended to be about his childhood dream of this car and driver Wolfgang von Trips, but Warner Brothers took control of the film and effectively ruined Chris Rea's concept. The 1961 car had a 1,476cc V6 engine designed by Carlo Chiti, and Phil Hill won two, was second in two, and third in two of the seven races in which the cars competed that season. They didn't take part in the final race, the USA Grand Prix, after the death of Wolfgang von Trips in the penultimate Grand Prix of the season in Italy.

This series of images were taken to represent my childhood aspiration, which was a Ballerina believe it or not, as is probably every girl's dream.
This is Speck, my son's three-month-old kitten. We are caring for him while his mom and dad are traveling.

This was taken by our Presbyterian Church in East Brady, PA......the town in which I have lived for the past 23 years. It is so peaceful down by the river......all of your cares and worries just seem to float away...like a log or leaf you occasionally see going down stream.
I could get lost for hours walking along the river's edge.......seeing so many sights just waiting to be appreciated.
This project would be an anthological archive of the adopted girl through the element of Joaquín Sorolla's painting. In a similar Mediterranean lighting condition, the patterned elements appear in the photo.該項目將通過華金·索羅拉 (Joaquín Sorolla) 的繪畫元素，成為被收養女孩的選集檔案。 在類似的地中海照明條件下，圖像元素出現在照片中。
This little guy comes close to capturing the beauty and delight of his Peruvian counterparts (see links below), but without real clothes or fabric bunting, all in delicious pastels, he doesn't really take off.

This week is Parrot Week. On my photostream that is...
Taken at Tropical Birdland , Leicestershire. UK. January 2007.
Umbrella Cockatoo. (Thanks too all that told me that!)
She might not be as showy as the others but was certainly the most colourful character there. She had a very soft voice ("Hello!") and seemed a gentle soul. BTW that's Lou modelling as a perch.
I can't think of a better reason than her to be excited about what the new year will bring.
This is a rave for a new year, for new beginnings, for love, dedicated to the woman who turned my life upside down in the most wonderful way.
And to all the great people on Flickr, happy new year! :-)
This is the w/b AEPML-10, which was due to arrive at Mira Loma, CA much sooner, and with four Ferromex units, but I guess one of the three GE techo-toasters had a traction motor fire and it was set-out in AZ. Good for me, as I wouldn't have got this shot if it had been on time, and "three amigos" is fine with me.
This friend of mine is in the hospital with some unknown disease/condition/sickness that is leaving him with severely low hemoglobin, platelet and white blood cell counts. They've run several tests and cannot figure out what he has. They say they've never seen it before. He is young (turns 24 this month) and lives an athletic lifestyle. The blood transfusions aren't seeming to help. He felt fine at Thanksgiving.
Please pray for my friend to have strength through this time, and for the doctors to be blessed with wisdom.
His name is Leonard.
12/4/09 Update: He has been diagnosed with aplastic anemia. They haven't determined how he got it or the exact treament yet, but it's a big step to know what his condition is. Thank you for all the prayers and support!
12/7/09 Update: Leonard's platelet counts have continued to drop and have reached a critical low point. He was transferred to a "better" hospital which should be better able to treat him. Today is going to be a big day as the doctors try to set forth a treatment plan. Please keep praying for Leonard to have strength and peace and for the doctors to be blessed with wisdom as they work to heal my friend's body.
Update 2/11/2010
Leonard stated chemotherapy today. His bone marrow transplant will occur on Tuesday. His sister is the donor. He will be in Houston for the treatment and the several months of recovery after.
This is a completely hand-forged necklace, which means that the shape was created by beating two pieces of metal wire with a hammer to make them intertwine. We have been forging metal for quite a while, but the skill to create this pattern came to us in a rather odd fashion. A customer brought us a very, very old forged metal necklace that had been acquired in Cuba. She wanted it replicated as a gift for her sister. “No problem” we tossed off, without really examining the piece. Well, 3 weeks into the project and on our 12th attempt to make the necklace, it was becoming a big problem. The technical expertise and innovative design of the original maker was becoming very apparent. This was nothing less than weaving a knot out of metal by using a hammer. After much study, many attempts and a few choice words (in Spanish) we finally figured it out. The replica was virtually indistinguishable from the original. Happy client, and we learned some new skills from a 120 year old Cuban metalsmith.
This necklace design is our own variation using some of the techniques we learned. It is forged in sterling silver with copper accents. The whole has been patinaed to bring out the texture and accentuate the hand forging.
