That will sort the older ones out! This is a view of the Pont Adolphe in the background thats having a major restoration and repair project started so, as a temporary measure they have built the "Blue Bridge" to take the traffic. In the foreground is a little pedestrian bridge over the Petrusse river
Went backpacking over the weekend. A nice hike in, I forgot how painful it is and how young I use to be. Great trip with a great group of friends. This is the view from our campsite. Amazing to wake up to.
I do recommend a larger view. ;)
almost three weeks old, & the blue is definitely a boy -- still not sure of the gender of the two lavenders
For this card I used only two of the stamp sets I chose to use this week but I used my original three colours, night of navy, bashful blue and whisper white. The photo was take at the top of Levi mountain in Lapland. I went on a Ski holiday with my boyfriend and my mum in February 2002 and the scenery was breath taking especially at the top of the mountain. I thought that this photo lent itself to a Christmas card. It's hard to see from the photo but there is snowflakes stamped in white on the light blue card.
I got up early this morning and visited Holland Bottom Farms in Cabot, Arkansas. It was so amazing to see the sunrise over the sunflowers, pumpkin, dew, and corn.
"The Three Soldiers" statue near the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in D.C. Was marred only by the presence of stinkbugs.
Taken on October 8, 2010 with a Canon Rebel XSI and the incredibly sharp Zeiss Makro-Planar ZE 100mm lens. The anamorphic was a Kowa 16-S.
I spent yesterday morning in the field with Jim Fowler photographing a population of the three-birds orchid (Triphora trianthophora). This tiny species exhiibits synchronized flowering that is triggered by two consecutive days of decreasing night temperatures. The flowers are open for one day, then begin to senesce. Jim is the author of "Wild Orchids of South Carolina" and used his knowledge of the natural history of this species to predict the exact flowering day for a population near Brevard, NC. When we arrived there were 30 or more plants in bloom. The green crest on the lip appears to serve as a nectar guide. Note the two pollinia that are located above the crest.
The Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission dedicated a state highway marker to commemorate the Meeting of Three Commanders on Wednesday.
The marker was placed close to Lynnhaven Colony Park on Shore Drive near where the meeting is believed to have taken place. The marker dedication ceremony will be held at the park shelter, 3125 Shore Drive.
Gen. André Lanata, Supreme Allied Commander Transformation of NATO Allied Command Transformation was the main speaker at the dedication ceremony. He is a French Air Force officer. Gen. Lanata will be joined by Virginia Beach Mayor Robert M. "Bobby" Dyer on the program.
The Meeting of Three Commanders occurred Sept. 18, 1781 between Gen. George Washington, commander-in-chief of the combined American and French armies, the Comte de Rochambeau, commander of the French expeditionary army, and Admiral François Joseph Paul de Grasse, commander of a large French fleet of warships. These commanders met aboard de Grasse's flagship on Lynnhaven Bay. It was here that the final strategies were devised that led to the stunning Franco-American victory at Yorktown.
The text for the marker was researched and developed by local historian Jorja Jean, who received a grant award from the Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission to fund the marker. The Virginia Board of Historic Resources approved the marker application at their June 2018 quarterly meeting. Virginia's historical marker program is the oldest such program in the nation.
The Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission is a City Council-appointed body that advises Council on issues related to the City's historic resources. The group seeks to preserve, protect and maintain the historic integrity of Virginia Beach and the former Princess Anne County through a program of advocacy and increased public awareness and involvement. The commission generally meets the first Wednesday evening of the month, except July and August, at 2101 Parks Ave., Suite 500.

This old, curved tree sprouted three new 'trunks.' Some fascinating trees in the rain forests of Northern California.

I photographed this group in much the same location as those in the previous photograph. While the cranes seem to collect in large groups near water in the evening and early morning, during the day they are often found more spread out in agricultural areas like this one.

This is my week three shot, albeit a little late. I have pretty much rocked the same haircut since early high school... and it has never taken the form of a "Fauxhawk." Until NOW!
The things you'll do to yourself for the sake of an inside joke!
Light coming from camera right is provided by my handy-dandy desk lamp.
The auto-focus was having some trouble in this lighting. As I'm fairly new to photography, would a faster lens be able to autofocus better in low light? I figure it would since it's letting in more light. I'm looking at that new 35mm prime 1.8f AF-S from Nikon or maybe the 50 mm if I run into some cash.
Very little post processing was done. As my PS skills are still very rusty. Just a quick crop, healing brush, and unsharp mask.
Tune in next week: Same bat-time. Same bat-channel!
The members of Three Days Grace began bashing punk chords when they were in their teens, carving an energetic sound that fueled their live performances. Three Days Grace was formed in Norwood, Ontario, Canada, in 1997 by Adam Gontier (vocals, guitar), Brad Walst (bass), and Neil Sanderson (drums).
