When I was around 3 my parents decided to get me a dog as a reward for potty training. My mom took me to the shelter and there she was our perfect dog good with kids 1.5 years old. She needed some work with adult males because she had been abused she warmed right up to me and my mom and after about 6months of working with her she accepted my dad and became part of the family. As her and I both got older we became best friends when ever we would go camping she would come with us and my parents had to fight both of us out of the water.
One camping trip I will never forget, she was about 14 at this point and she got hurt and went and hid down by the creek. I kept checking on her but eventually we had to run into town to get something and while we were gone she ran off. We stayed up there for 2 or 3 more days searching for her going to all the other camp sites for miles up and down the road. We couldn't stay any longer mom and dad had to go to work and me and my sisters had school.
one month later my aunt uncle and cousins were in town and we went camping again in the same area. The only empty spot was where I had lost my dog and I begged for us to keep looking for a different spot but there was not another spot open big enough for our whole group. The first night up there after playing games in one of the trailers my uncle and cousins headed for the other trailer to go to bed. All I remember is my uncles voice calling my dad out side and there was something about the tone that I knew something amazing had just happened. My 14 year old black lab who had been on her own for a month walked into camp, skinny as could be but alive.
She recovered from that experience quickly and lived happily for another 2 years when old age finely caught up with her at 16.

I think that smudge may be a finger print on my filter
High voltage power supply in middle. Trigger generator on bottom (cylinder). Top box = trigger signal converter. Takes an optical signal that comes in from outside (orange fiber optic cable - not attached yet) converts this signal to an electrical signal, amplifies it to produce a spark inside trigger generator (one spark plug inside). The high voltage box is the equivalent of the capacitors. It adds high voltage on the triggers. Note that since there is a spark plug involved, the trigger head also requires a gas supply.
One of my favourite alpine plants. Not just because of the attractive form and lovely colour, but because they are an "action" plant. If you look closely, you will be able to see the cocked "triggers" for each flower. When an insect lands on the flower, the trigger folds over, covering the insect in pollen.
I have highlighted several of the "triggers" using notes - pass the cursor over the image to see them.
There appears to be recent changes in the classification of these trigger plants. Costin et al. (2000) names them as Stylidium graminifolium. Raulings and Ladiges (2001) studied plants collected in Victoria and southern New South Wales, and recognised 3 distinct species. The example shown here is consistent with their description of Stylidium montanum.

These plants are described on page 8 of McPherson (2010) and on page 325 of Costin et al. (2000).

I have had no end of trouble photographing small flowers such as these with my iPhone because the camera doesn't support manual focussing in the sense that most of us would be familiar with (i.e., manually adjusting the focal length until the desired feature appears to be in focus). With many iPhone apps, the best that you can do is to tap the desired feature on the screen and lock the focus. However, with small or thin features, the camera locks onto features in the background, leading to no end of frustration! With this shot, I used a different strategy. I held the camera at the desired focal distance when directed towards the ground, tapped the screen and locked the focus. I then directed the camera up towards the flower and took a series of photographs, attempting to bracket the desired focus effect. As I had surmised, at least one of these shots had the right focus! Success at last!

jumping to get the firework. Surprised his tongue wasn't burnt before the night was over. He kept trying to eat all the fireworks that were going off.
Self Portrait Project. Tried in vain to get a part of my face reflected in the tiny mirror on the end of the camera charm on my necklace, couldn't get any of the angles to work whilst trying to focus on such a small area, Did however get my finger perfectly reflected pushing the shutter release button on my Fuji X100.
