A beautiful Dahlia, Variety "Comet," in the Dahlia Garden at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum State Park on Long Island. In Picasa, I raised the shadows, fill ight and highlights to get this effect. It's amazing how late these beautiful flowers last! Please view on Black.
The garden is maintained by the Long Island Dahlia Society. You can visit this great arboretum at www.bayardcuttingarboretum.com, and you can find the Society at www.longislanddahlia.com.
Lego monochrome figures. They look cool but do not know much about them except these all have the Lego logo on their various pieces.
Haven't taken much photo of Maggie since I gave her a new face.
I really like her in this black dress. Don't who made it, but it was a gift from dear Laura. Thank you Laura:)
I really love the translucent face, how her tone changes against different lighting.
This was very much a snapshot. I was cleaning the lens on the camera sitting quietly in my living room when the light from the patio doors made the houseplant leaf come “alive” with green. Took the shot never really expecting to share it but, I have!
Sometimes the sunlight shines through Etta's ears and leg ... I've not been able to capture it so I thought I'd try with my phone.
It's a very horrible, wet, cold, grey day here! So being a bit creative ... not sure Etta appreciates my attempts :)

The north tower of the Golden Gate Bridge in the fog, taken from the Marin Headlands a little after sunrise.
I like the softness, the near-monotone look, and the way the top line of the bridge cables runs parallel to the lines of fog above and below. But I may be in the minority on this one - when I showed it to a buddy of mine, he winced and shook his head.

This translucent beauty is a Snow Petrel (Pagodroma nivea). Its scientific name translates as snowy ice-wanderer which is highly appropriate as this species has even been recorded at the South Pole. One interesting thing I noticed was how this inhabitant of the coldest areas tucked its feet into its plumage so there is no sign of them whatsoever in flight. It is reputed to breed further south than any other species of bird. They nest on cliffs in pebble-lined nests and lay a single egg which they incubate for up to 49 days. The chick fledges after a further 49 days. They are long-lived birds (c 20 years) and pair for life. We saw small numbers frequently in the coldest Antarctic waters flying round among the icebergs. But we also saw large flocks sitting round on the icebergs. Getting the exposure right on flying white birds isn't easy. You can just make out the characteristic petrel tube nose at the base of the bill.
Here's one of my portraits (my current icon) as finished by the talented Mr. James White.
Never thought I can say having a photo of me done in this style is beautiful, but it really is. Do take a look through his photostream to see his other masterpieces.

This is my first attempt at smoke photography.
To get this shot, I used a technique that I read about on DPS. It took some trial and error but I was worth the effort!
Here is the link to anyone that is interested.
