Often while editing a photo, I will often take it to black and white just to see what it looks like without the distraction of color. While editing this photo of a Screech owl taken last week, I did just that. It was just a glance at the top of the owl’s head that sent my mind down the hallway of a distant memory, a very good one!
As I stared at the owl’s head, I shook mine in disbelief. The shimmer, the shine reminded me so of my father’s coal black hair, many years ago in my youth. It was always so perfectly combed…when it came to hair and style, the Fonz had nothing on my dad! It was then that I started mentally struggling with remembering just what it was that my father used on his hair. I could readily smell it, as it is as ingrained as any other smell in my mind. The countless hugs, championship wrestling matches and every single time he left our homes one bathroom…the smell of Vitalis was there. I could easily remember the smell, but not the product name. A text to my brother was sent.
I started my text with the qualifier “Stupid question…” as I knew dad didn’t even use it for many of his later years and it has been 16 years this week since he passed. Asking someone about a personal hygiene item that someone else used 20+ years ago should always be started with this qualifier! However, as most often happens, Gus knew the answer off the top of his head.
His response was quick and direct “Funny, I can remember the smell…God I miss him!” To which I replied “Same here!!”
Note: To ensure the proper spelling of Vitalis, I googled it. I was amazed to find that not only do they still make it, but it is available at Walmart for $6.53 a bottle! I may need to make the investment just to smell it one more time.

Stylidium are known as "trigger plants" because of the unique, irritable flower column which is triggered by insect visitors. The trigger remains cocked until an insect probes the flower and then springs upwards and deposits pollen on the head or back of the insect which then transfers the pollen to another flower.

I took this standing in the reeds to get as close to the scene as I could. There were several inches of water underfoot, or even over foot! The ground was very unstable and tripod management rather tricky! When I was back on terra firma I realised that I had lost a lens cap, and the trigger for my remote. I wondered if I could retrace my steps try to find them, but it was getting too dark and had a 30 minute hike back to civilisation, so I decided against it, cut my losses (it could have been worse!) and get back before nightfall. I do hope it was worth it LOL!

Car days...
Photos trigger our memories and emotions. If you're one of the lucky winners and you're DIKOOTH... (I've just made it up: Double Income Kids Out Of The House), you'll be around my age and have fond memories of the GOD (Good Old Days)...;)
You remember the first car you owned. No, it wasn't just a means of transport, it was a house, a castle, a disco, a place of refuge that conveyed a sense of security and home. You never really wanted to get out of the car, or at least only in emergencies, for example when the radiator was smoking.
My favourite memory of my first car: In the drive-in cinema: The heater on the left window, the loudspeaker on the right. There was a film playing in front, whatever, regardless of the genre. The windscreen steamed up, reclining seats, hot kisses and the Coke fell over, currywurst on my jacket. What the hell. Unlike today, I never fell asleep watching even the stupidest film. Nice to remember to the good old days.

When I visit cities like Madrid, Tenerife, Shanghai, Miami, Naples, or right here in Barcelona, and I have my camera in hand, I can't resist taking photos like this one, where what triggered me to take it was the simple fact that it was a perfect outfit to tour Madrid. When I saw that blouse and that hat, my mind said, what style this girl has, and without further ado I capture her, always with the most sincere respect.
I saw this Singer sewing machine recently at a store and it triggered so many childhood memories. …… many households had one of these. Happy Sunday 😊
Couldn't resist taking a picture of this gorgeous and very feminine horse. I’ve never seen a more feminine horse than this one. She is probably what "Trigger" dreamed about.
Fastest hand in the west.

Thanks to Alex and Ari for the PS help.
While young there is so much to learn in the world...togetherness helps one another get through each day !
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.
Have a fun and exciting day dear Flickr friends !
Sometimes you are lucky enough for the light to make an inconspicuous stretch of land glow. Then, as a photographer, you can't help but pull the trigger.

Excerpt from www.watercanada.net/light-shower-towers/:
Toronto’s newest stormwater system is breathtaking.
Housed in the pavilion basement at Sherbourne Common, a new park in the city’s rapidly developing East Bayfront area, the treatment facility cleans collected storm and lake water with ultraviolet (UV) light. The treated water is then sent underground to the north side of the park where it is released through three nine-metre-high art sculpture towers. The water flows from the tops of the towers down metal mesh veils and into a 240-metre-long water channel, or urban river, where it then flows into Lake Ontario.
Artist Jill Anholt’s Light Showers water towers are lit at night; as people move over the bridge of the water channel, motion sensors trigger shifting light patterns in the water as it falls from the sculptures. The mesh veils of the art sculptures are designed to capture water in the winter to form unique ice patterns.
Regardless of its attractiveness, the system and others like it have elicited some blowback from critics, especially in a time when many municipalities are worried about growing infrastructure deficits. Are the extra features necessary? Anholt’s sculptures don’t contain UV lamps and play only a minor role in the treatment process—they provide further aeration and act as a conduit to bring treated water to raised pools.
While some people may criticize Waterfront Toronto’s choice, others believe the art is a worthwhile investment. Waterfront Toronto chair Mark Wilson sees it as a catalyst for the further development of the East Bayfront neighbourhood. “The park has already helped us attract private and public sector partners who are working with us to transform this former industrial area into a dynamic new community,” he says. The City plans to recover the cost for the art feature—$1.9 million—through development fees as part of Waterfront Toronto’s public art strategy.
Others argue that making infrastructure visible is important to public understanding. During last April’s Out of Water: Sustaining Development in Arid Climates conference at the University of Toronto. (see “In the Eye of the Beholder,” a blog post at www.wordpress-139196-653073.cloudwaysapps.com), one audience member said water infrastructure is often designed to blend with the environment. “Often, we don’t even know it’s there—but is that a good thing?” she asked. Maybe it’s important, she posited, that we see, recognize, and feel comfortable with the mechanisms that allow us to maintain the lives we’re accustomed to living and, at a basic level, survive.
During a presentation at the Ecocity World Summit this August in Montreal, Concordia University graduate student Cecilia Chen discussed the importance of mapping the flows of streams and aquifers beneath and around urban spaces to increase awareness that cities are, in some ways, nothing more than watersheds. Water’s role in an urban ecosystem, she said, goes unrecognized because it travels underground and out of sight. It’s only when a storm-drain overflows and what she calls “hybrid water” becomes visible that awareness increases.
James Roche, director, parks design and construction for Waterfront Toronto, isn’t interested in separating infrastructure, landscape, and public space. “There’s more to gain from combining these fields,” he says. Roche says we ignore water’s important, though background, role in commerce and cities. “It changes how we live on a daily basis. The Sherbourne Common design helps to bring water back into the public realm.”
Following in the tradition of projects such as Stephen Holl Architects’ Whitney Water Treatment Plant in New Haven, Connecticut—a long, stainless steel building built in an inverse-raindrop shape—and Hervé Descottes’ breathtaking lighting design for the Newtown Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant in Brooklyn, New York, Sherbourne Common serves as a reminder of the role water plays in our lives.
This is a flower that I picked from the garden yesterday and then brought inside to photograph where it's easier to control the light.
The main light was a Yongnuo Manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box on a light stand at camera left. Fill light came from a mirror at camera right. The flash and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. For each image in the set, and there are over 1900 of them, I describe how I set up the lighting for that particular shot. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/albums/72157628079460544

Back in Port Chalmers about to board the Noordam.
3 days to Hobart, Tasmania after cruising Fiordland National Park in Doubtful & Milford Sounds at the south end of New Zealand's south island.
Top right is a tall white pole holding Port Chalmer's Timeball.
The Port Chalmers time ball is a Victorian maritime Greenwich Mean Time signal located on Aurora Terrace on top of Observation Point in the port of Port Chalmers
It was established in 1867 by the Otago Provincial Council. The time ball fell precisely at 1 p.m. daily.
Originally triggered by a grandfather clock, from 1882 onwards a telegraph signal from Wellington took over this function.
It was removed in 1970, but a replacement was placed here in 2020.
I was strolling along the river dyke in NE Richmond, at the time the area was completely swarmed by migratory snow geese. Just when i took out the camera, all of a sudden, a large flock of the snow geese started taking off.....
Un irrefrenabile bisogno di comunicare le proprie emozioni innescate dalla visione del bello.

An uncontrollable need to communicate their emotions triggered by the vision of beauty.
“HMS Belfast is a Town-class light cruiser that was built for the Royal Navy. She is now permanently moored as a museum ship on the River Thames in London and is operated by the Imperial War Museum.
Construction of Belfast, the first ship in the Royal Navy to be named after the capital city of Northern Ireland and one of ten Town-class cruisers, began in December 1936. She was launched on St Patrick's Day 1938. Commissioned in early August 1939 shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War, Belfast was initially part of the British naval blockade against Germany. In November 1939, Belfast triggered a German mine and, in spite of fears that she would be scrapped, spent more than two years undergoing extensive repairs. Belfast returned to action in November 1942 with improved firepower, radar equipment, and armour. Belfast saw action escorting Arctic convoys to the Soviet Union during 1943 and in December 1943 played an important role in the Battle of North Cape, assisting in the destruction of the German warship Scharnhorst. In June 1944, Belfast took part in Operation Overlord supporting the Normandy landings. In June 1945, she was redeployed to the Far East to join the British Pacific Fleet, arriving shortly before the end of the Second World War. Belfast saw further combat action in 1950–52 during the Korean War and underwent an extensive modernisation between 1956 and 1959. A number of further overseas commissions followed before she entered reserve in 1963.
In 1967, efforts were initiated to avert Belfast's expected scrapping and to preserve her as a museum ship. A joint committee of the Imperial War Museum, the National Maritime Museum, and the Ministry of Defence was established and then reported in June 1968 that preservation was practical. In 1971, however, the government decided against preservation, prompting the formation of the private HMS Belfast Trust to campaign for her preservation. The efforts of the Trust were successful, and the government transferred the ship to the Trust in July 1971. Brought to London, she was moored on the River Thames near Tower Bridge in the Pool of London. Opened to the public in October 1971, Belfast became a branch of the Imperial War Museum in 1978. Since 1973 she has been home to the City of London Sea Cadets who meet on board twice a week. A popular tourist attraction, Belfast received over 327,000 visitors in 2019. As a branch of a national museum and part of the National Historic Fleet, Belfast is supported by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, admissions income, and the museum's commercial activities.
These are the bristles of a very colorful and funky hairbrush.
Strobist info:
The brush was illuminated by one Nikon SB900 speedlight with snoot, 40-degrees CR, 6" above camera level, and pointed down at subject at a 40-degree angle.
The SB900 was fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄16 -0.7 EV power and was triggered by two PocketWizard Plus X's.
