This 0.7 mile (1.2 km) rather challenging hiking trail leads up to the saddle between the peaks of Cathedral Rock in Sedona, Arizona.

..this old tree stump is decorated quite prettily by the changing colours of fall I think..this is the flash of colour I saw by the roadside that got me to stop and sit in the ditch for a bit on my way home the other day.. just too pretty to not stop for!

This again at f11 - but with much better light! Certainly more than sharp enough. I suspect that the chair is deserted - there is really nothing to look at across the street, except a school - and you would probably be hauled off if you stared at the kids!

This is my 6th order from Janet Store www.janetstore.url.tw/

I am always so excited to receive orders from my friend Janet. I was am totally in love with my Strawberry milk plush, I just couldn't wait to get her. I am sure I will have more pictures of her soon.

This the single part of collage.Nothing special except love at first sight on that plate :)

This image has been digitised from Queensland State Archives, Series ID S2149: Railway Glass Plate Negatives - Queensland Rail Heritage Collection. It is one of the images depicting the many stations, bridges and tracks that people and goods travelled from, on and through all over the Queensland Rail network.

This car was originally a solid blue colour and had become rather tatty, possibly even accident-damaged. Luckily it fell into the right hands and its new owner did an excellent job of restoring it. The West London guys do love their Violets...

This 1961 Corvette was one of several classic cars on display along Main Street for the Franklin on the Fourth celebration.

This shot was taken almost straight down from the pinnacle overlook in Cumberland Gap. I'm not sure what the name of the flower is but I thought it was an interesting shot.

This weeks theme for Macro Mondays is "Negative Space" A saw tooth can't exist without the negative space between them. HMM

This week's post for Totally Texture Tuesday!

This was my favorite grain elevator that I found on a day trip to Abilene last Fall. It is also the only one that is no longer in operation. I love all the "artifacts of function" that are hanging off of this place. Texture added in iPiccy.

W. 1st Street,

Abilene (Dickinson County), KS.

Several days of rain has the Grand River at flood level. As soon as I set up to shoot this scene, a snow squall hit, covering me and the camera in tiny snowballs. Fortunately, the Brown Dog Coffee Shoppe is beside that brightly lit restaurant, providing a great place to warm up and enjoy a freshly made apple fritter. Or two.

This wasp was feeding on rotten apples. He stumbled around and moved slowly--even let me pick him up with a leaf. I probably could have held him in my hand, but I dared not! Here he is blowing a bubble, like the fly below.

My last post of the day. I'm supposed to be painting another bedroom right now! But I've been finding ways to put it off (thanks, Flickr!).

Last one this week. Flowing water in the Smokies. #gsmnp #bnw

This bus was new to Lothian Buses as 130 in 2004.

Seen here at South Queensferry.

This is the reason that SiBedford route 42 was singledeck worked w.c.21/8/17, roundabout construction on the B530 diverted the route round Stewartby and Kempston Hardwick to avoid the closure. 34832 works a service from Flitwick, despite what's said on the blind under the MML into Stewartby village, it would then run non-stop to rejoin the normal route in about three miles. Grant Palmer was using the A6 as diversion as a Trident was in use on the route.

This is a Greater Yellowlegs in the gym doing exercise. He was doing this for about 20 minutes until he moved to just the right spot. And on one leg to.

This is what happens when extreme boredom meets requests from internet strangers. DANGER, WILL ROBINSON!

This series (147 photos) of this beautiful model have been shot with the a7 IV running the old 1.0 Firmware with Eye-AF issues.

You can find more photos of her in the albums.

This is a shot from a fashion photoshoot I did for Nic Del Mar. Aline (model) was a delight to work with.

This halter dress just screams SUMMER!....by Ralph Lauren, from somewhere a long time ago

This Zinnia is growing in the raised garden bed, and although the number of Zinnias growing this year is less than previous years, they continue to offer some color in the back yard as well as some photo ops.

This is a photo of a page from the Double-elephant Folio Edition of Audubon's "Birds of America" (1827-38). The White-crowned Pigeon still exists today - just !!!

This "page" was seen in the Huntington Library, San Marino, CA.

This sexy minidress from Great Glam is shiny black with tiny silver dots and spaghetti straps.

I've matched it up with Hane's Alive pantyhose and my sexy peep toe platform pumps with the 5½" heels.

It looks like the perfect sparkly black cocktail dress to me!

I hope you like my curve hugging minidress as much as I do!

This Dennis Dart driver trainer was new in 2002 as DM362 (with Selkent at Bromley). It has been a training bus since 2014 at Rainham and West Ham. it carries the Rainham garage code. when seen on 8 August 2018 it was wearing this special livery promoting Stagecoach as an inclusive employer.

This is how I usually carry my bentos, a furoshiki in "purse" format.

Place your box diagonally in the center of the furoshiki. Bring the front and back ends together; tie tightly. Bring up the other two ends and tie loosely in a double knot, leaving a gap for your fingers to fit through.

It works very well; nothing has ever fallen out.

This is a statue of the famous WW II photograph of a sailor kissing a nurse on V-J Day in New York City in 1945. The statue is located in San Diego by the harbor, next to the WW II aircraft carrier USS Midway (in the background). Sadly I heard on the news that the nurse in the original image passed away this week (June 2010).

This was taken during the summer. A sharp shower of rain came on and both cats leapt sideways onto the window-sills. They looked so odd at that extreme angle. Bailey, of course, kept tabs on what I was doing. Jeeves was only interested in the rain. I just love those tails hanging down identically!

This tranquil Sea Ranch interior captures the timeless essence of Northern California coastal design—simple, warm, and deeply connected to nature. The central fireplace, framed by a dark accent wall and adorned with brass seagulls in flight, anchors the room while echoing the movement of the Pacific Ocean just beyond the windows. Exposed wooden beams stretch overhead, their rhythm and natural grain celebrating the honest craftsmanship that defines The Sea Ranch’s architectural philosophy.

Every element in the space reflects the guiding principles first established by designers like Charles Moore, Joseph Esherick, and landscape architect Lawrence Halprin when they envisioned The Sea Ranch in the 1960s: restraint, harmony, and respect for the landscape. The use of natural materials—untreated wood, stone, and soft neutral tones—allows the interior to feel both rustic and modern, timeless and utterly at ease within its coastal surroundings.

The composition of this photograph leads the viewer’s eye through the layered textures of the room: the earthy terracotta tile beneath the hearth, the soft weave of the rug in the foreground, and the warm honey hue of the kitchen cabinetry beyond. Sunlight filters gently through the space, creating a natural gradient of color and shadow that mirrors the shifting light of the Sonoma Coast outside. Nothing here feels overdesigned or forced. Instead, it’s a study in restraint—the kind of beauty that emerges when form follows the rhythms of life rather than fashion.

On the wall, the framed beach scene above the fireplace offers a quiet dialogue with the real landscape outside. The chairs in the artwork seem to invite the viewer to pause and look outward, just as the Sea Ranch houses themselves were designed to frame and honor the land and sea. Together, the art, architecture, and materials create a meditation on stillness and connection—hallmarks of the Sea Ranch ethos.

In this interior, comfort is achieved through authenticity: the patina of wood, the tactile presence of handmade materials, and the unpretentious integration of art and everyday objects. It’s a space that feels both deeply lived in and profoundly intentional—a reflection of The Sea Ranch ideal that architecture should disappear into its environment while heightening one’s awareness of it.

This is a series of photos that I took while testing the new Canon G1X mark ii for Canon Netherlands. No better way to do so than at the 30.000 people Amsterdam Music Festival during ADE.

This is a photo taken when I was arriving at Shipwreck (Navagio) Beach. Navagio is an isolated sandy cove on Zakynthos island and one of the most famous beaches in Greece. It is notable because it is home to the wreck of the alleged smuggler ship; thus, it is often referred to as 'Smugglers Cove'. This strip of beach can ONLY be accessed by boat. Truly a breathtaking experience.

This is what happens when a Megablock is blasted with airsoft pellets at point-blank range. Death to Megablocks! XD

This shot was taken just a little while after sunset. You can see the storm clouds rolling in from the west.

It rained every day from July 31st through August 9th on our trip to Maine. We had a few breaks in the rain, but it was our gloomiest trip ever to Mount Desert Island.

This is shot from a friends apt. She lives near the Brooklyn Bridge.

For Totally Texture Tuesday! Another from Dwight, KS while on a photo excursion along Ks. Hwy. 4 this past weekend. I could have spent hours at this abandoned grain elevator but had to move on in search for other cool finds.

This was a photo taken on mt first night in London around the Docklands area looking over to Canary Wharf and such. Then processed through Photomatix & Photoshop.

This is a Saskatoon berry farm.

The skies while I was home for the most part were quite hazy with smoke from the forest fires burning in all directions.

This 2002 Volvo FM 8x4 tipper was snapped in Edward Street back in 2009; it was last taxed in July 2014.

This was a brand new hotel when we stayed, opened only a couple of weeks earlier.
