"The Bookstore" by artist Red Grooms was installed at the Hudson River Museum in 1979. A mix of the Morgan Library and the Mendoza Book Company, it's so much fun to walk into this immersive installation which the artist describes as a sculpto-pictorama.
I decided to bring out one of my old goblets that I have as the bottom would hold some of the bubble mix allowing me to "blow" a bubble with a straw to completely fill the bottom.
It was a tad chilly again today with -24C so I decided to put a 14mm kenko extension tube on the Canon EOS 1DS Mark III and use the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 lens as it would autofocus allowing me to keep my hands in my mittens when trying to capture the frost forming in the bubbles.
Thank you for visiting my little space here on Flickr.
Horned puffin—while I got some fun closeup shots of puffins at the Alaska Sea Life Center in Seward, it was important to me to also get photos of puffins in their natural habitat, which we found on the Kenai Fjords boat tour.
I saw him sitting by the fountain with his red hat and bag. He mentioned he was from Boston. He had traveled here to take pictures of the street car. It was his thing, taking pictures of streetcars all around. He never would have thought OKC would have one.
I asked him the story of his red hat, he said he had gotten it in Ottawa on a sunny day years back.
Irresistible cuteness—sea otters! Our first wildlife sighting on our Kenai Fjord Tour out of Seward. Did the boat tip a bit as we all rushed to that side?
My nephew, his wife and baby Ireland are here visiting. The SpooCrew and friends have never been around a baby. The dogs are fascinated with her........and have found they have some Things in common.
1) They like picking stuff up off the floor and eating it.
2)They like chewing on their toys.
3) A nap is prerequisite before attempting any activity.
4) There is nothing like looking out the front door and wondering what it would be like to run free and explore wherever you wanted to............
(I know the computer case and the box are a major distraction........but it is my life...as I am capturing it)
We just returned from visiting Scoobie at Tufts & he seems to be doing well. According to the staff, he had a good night & is now resting comfortably until his ultrasound tomorrow morning (which will hopefully shed some light on the 'abnormality' in his stomach). Thanks for all the good wishes & we'll keep everyone posted, but for now things are looking good.
While visiting family in northern Alabama over the Christmas holiday, I was able to take some time to visit a few of my old railfan haunts. Here we see CSX train Q521 crossing over the Tennessee River at Decatur, AL on December 27, 2020. This long train can still be seen on the other side of the river, about a mile away. The River Junction control point is dispatched by Norfolk Southern; CSX trains have to request a signal from the NS dispatcher in order to cross the single track lift bridge.

The $4 billion Oculus station house, designed by Santiago Calatrava, consists of white ribs that interlock high above the ground. The interior of the station house contains two underground floors, which house part of the Westfield World Trade Center mall. The transportation hub connects the various modes of transportation in Lower Manhattan, from the Fulton Center in the east to the Battery Park City Ferry Terminal in the west, through the station house. The hub contains connections to various New York City Subway stations, including Chambers Street–World Trade Center/Park Place/Cortlandt Street on the 2, 3, A, C, E, N, R, and W trains and WTC Cortlandt on the 1 train. It is the fifth-busiest transportation hub in the New York metropolitan area.

One of my favorite top down subjects is the Spiral Jetty up on the northern end of the Great Salt Lake. This earthwork project is best seen from the air to give visitors a full view of the strange shape of this earth work of art.
I assumed this is a butterfly in the fritillary family, but I am not a butterfly expert. It just visited when I was taking pictures.

Visiting 8F 48624, a last minute stand-in, on a warm afternoon during the 2016 Spring Gala commemorating 50 years since the closure of the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway
Something dashed past the kitchen window of our son's house when we were looking after the cat a few days ago. I grabbed my camera and just about got a snatched shot of this deer which was now investigating the front driveways of houses across the green. At that moment, a dogwalker came along and the deer turned and sped onto Chailey Common.
As soon as Burning Man 2018 ended, "Robot Resurrection" (right) paid a visit to "Big Charles... (An homage to Charlie Smith)" (left).
