Be nice to get some joy! Have another ear infection and two mouth ulcers!
(on a sign at the shops when I went shopping this morning)
Two visitors to the garden this morning. I prefer to see these chaps in their natural environment and not ours, but it was great to get close.
Two swarms (No. 7&8 from TBH 2&4) within minutes of one another, in the confusion they gathered together in one spot, and since it was so high, they left together a few hours later heading Southwest.I wish them luck!

Children in Striped Hoodies. San Francisco, California. July 25, 2015. © Copyright 2015 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Two children in striped hoodies walk along a San Francisco street at night
This is yet another photograph that I don't actually recall making! Sometimes when shooting street I think I work so quickly and spontaneously that I simple capture an image and move on to the next one without imbedding the specific experience in my memory. This almost certainly was one of those very quickly made photographs, and I only made two exposures of these subjects before moving on to something else.
There is a lot in this photograph, some of which I was likely considering in the moment when I made the photograph and some of which may have been more or less a happy accident. I'm pretty certain that I was attracted to the fact that the two kids were both wearing hoodies with horizontal stripes — perhaps someone's mother or father had just gone shopping for the two of them? A wonderful bonus was the child on the right (who I believe is a girl) putting her arm gently on the shoulder of the other child — her younger brother? Then there are the other bits of color — the blue form on the left (which houses an automated carnival-like figure) and the wildly painted lamp-post on the right. And, yes, there is something a bit disconcerting about seeing two young children alone on the nighttime streets of a big city — at least to this photographer who brought up three such young children.

"He entered uninvited, but left a terrible mark on our HQ. I'll never forget that man's face; a scar over his left eye, a stoic yet angered look one his face. And those 1911s...did he know how to use 'em..."

WIT: Scouting out a local gelato hangout that serves an abundance of 218 flavours, La Casa Gelato, I found this lovely customer who was gracious enough to allow me the opportunity to snap several shots while she enjoyed her double-scoop gelato cone with her friends. This is what I'd call the 'money shot'. Thanks! :-)
If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?
Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)
just a simple shot... for anyone that doesnt know, Zam Wessel is a shapeshifting assasin. Her LEGO head has two faces.. this one, and on the reverse, a female with a veil.
Aquà me llamó la atención la contraposición de dos mundos, la naturaleza en su forma más bella contra la ciudad, lo natural contra lo artificial, la armonÃa frente a la estridencia. Tal vez las rocas de abajo piden más aire y la nitidez es un poco blandita pero me ha gustado tanto los tonos como la composición de que conforman las cuatro rocas. Para la toma se utilizó trÃpode, Nikon D7000, sigma 10-20, filtro degradado inverso Hi-Tech y cable disparador.
I like how they were posing and the overall composition.
The right one is a female called "Bones", you can see the name written on her harness. :)
Last week, my daughter Crystal and her husband Richard were invited to lunch at the White House! This is a photo of Crystal, with the portrait of Hillary Clinton.
Back when she was a tiny baby I used to tell her that she could one day grow up and be in the White House. And she did! (Okay, it's not quite what I meant, but you know what I mean.)

Found these two guys while I was going down an alley off Victoria Street. They just happened to be in the window while I walked by and they let me get up real close... then they flew off.
Blessed among counties, Norfolk, at the edge of England, is a destination, not a corridor, and is as yet untouched by the motorway system. Fourth in area it is 21st in population, with a quarter of its inhabitants living within eight miles of the centre of Norwich. As Pevsner points out, some parts of Norfolk are so under-populated that it is difficult to believe that you are less than a hundred miles from London.
Such are the county's architectural riches that Pevsner's coverage has always been divided between two volumes. Over a hundred churches are said to be in ruins and derelict buildings are a common sight. This ruined farmhouse ...18th century if it's a day... of which we see only the end elevation here, was encountered during a most enjoyable potter around the lanes in the southern part of the county. Away from the main roads, though it was a fine, balmy day, we hardly saw another car.
The next day I attempted to repeat the experience in a conterminous part of Cambridgeshire, in the catchment area of the M11 ...an altogether less "backward" part of the country. Traffic jams formed at the entrances to popular "garden centres". I squirmed the Bentosmobile in and out around the parked cars surrounding every village green. Leisure-crazed cyclists and walkers in hideous, violently-coloured clothing clogged the lanes. Every few yards I had to pull to the side of the road to let another car pass in the opposite direction. Always there seemed to be another car following ours at close quarters, boiling with impatience and aggression, so that it was difficult to stop and admire, or slow down and gawp about, as we like to.
My point being? Well, I have none really. I merely remark an identifiable phenomenon. Cambridgeshire and Norfolk are neighbouring counties, about equidistant from London. Yet Cambridgeshire is much more easily communicable from London than its neighbour. What are "fast transport links" but the means of spreading metropolitan ways into the hinterland? People and businesses re-locate to the provinces, thinking that a motorway or an electrified railway line will enable them to enjoy the best of both worlds ...closeness and remoteness at the same time. All that happens is that the provinces come to resemble the capital. It's all very reassuring really. Every new advantage is cancelled out by a corresponding disadvantage, and life stays the same.
We had breakfast at the Bench again, and then drove north to Kelowna. Our first stop was CedarCreek (where this photo was taken, with Jeff's assistance). It was a bit... corporate, but the man who did our tasting was knowledgeable & nice, and we still bought two bottles. Since we'd allowed extra time in case the road was flooded, we were ahead of schedule, so we went to St. Hubertus (which we'd originally cut for time). It was ok; I was more interested in flipping through their shelf of cookbooks, and ended up buying an Italian one later. From there we moved on to Summerhill, which hadn't blown me away the last time we were there but was fantastic this year. A quick one at Tantalus, and then Liang, Tim, & Jimmy went back to Summerhill for lunch and the rest of us went to Spierhead. It wasn't quite as good as I was hoping (they only started up 3 or 4 years ago) but still had a couple nice ones, and the owner was there with his adorable blue heeler puppy!
We headed into town for lunch (a bistro called Kraft— stupid name, delicious food). I had a vegan caesar salad which was amazing; the dressing was made with smoked tofu and the romaine heart was grilled, and there were fried capers. Iain & Cass decided to head home afterwards, and the remaining few of us stopped quickly at Mt. Boucherie in Westbank before hitting the road. It was a nice drive home with almost no traffic; in the past our trip has always been Friday to Sunday so there's often a lot of border traffic on the highway on our way home around Abbotsford, so this was a welcome change. 163/365.
