A fairy lantern (globe lily) flower, photographed in the hills of the San Francisco Bay Area
It is difficult to come up with a rational explanation for why some wildflowers particularly catch my attention, but it is fact that some do. I have a short list of Sierra Nevada wildflowers that will always cause me to pause and look more closely. In a particular area of the Northern California hills that flower is this one, the fairy lantern or globe lily.
Somehow I managed to hike for decades in these hills before I “discovered” this flower on a hike through a small valley one spring while visiting the non-urban park that is closer to me than any other, a place where I’ve gone for spring “conditioning hikes” since I can remember. One time a perhaps two decades ago I took a different route through this spot and was enchanted by these mysterious flowers. Now I mark the onset of spring here by their appearance. They aren’t really easy to photograph since they don’t open up energetically, and you must get down low and photograph them from a bit underneath to reveal the flower — and the colors are subtle and easily washed out by any bright light.

Hermitage of Santa Brigida d'Amer.
Santa Brígida d'Amer is a Romanesque church in Amer (Selva) CAT., protected as a Cultural Asset of Local Interest.
Perched on a rocky escarpment, it is a visual reference point from the entire valley.
Although its origin may be Romanesque, the current building was built in the 17th century.
It has a single nave, covered with a barrel vault, and topped with a semicircular apse to which a small rectangular dwelling is attached.
It depended on the monastery of Santa Maria d'Amer.

A classic car show i did--- Beautiful car plus i liked the colors and reflections by the sunset. I simply put the car to a simulated film effect on Exposure 2. Camera was an Olympus E500. The name comes from the sky's reflection on the car-- reminded me of the movie.
At the Monet exhibition in the Städel.
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves and comments, they are always appreciated :)
Jökulsárlón is a visual dream if you like landscapes or even if you don't....:) The sunset was extremely spectacular that evening and although the wind was too fierce for cool sunset reflection shots, it was still a real nice photographic moment...

30 Days of Perception - Day 6
"Movement through gesture is a form of communication.
All phenomena are animate and expressive."
Kim Manley-Ort
As we express ourselves through gesture, movement and body language, so do all living things, including plants.
I cut a small branch of ivy to put in a vase to illustrate how the graceful movements suggest body language. I notice how the tiny new branches take directions of their own away from the main stem and how each leaf has its own personal expression. When I observe the movement of the branch, I enter into communication with the way it expresses itself. It's as if I can feel a movement and sway.
I'd like to share this panorama today to try and have a small break from some haunting images of Syrian refugees that I cannot get out of my head. The sunrise in this little village of Jamnik, Slovenia was mesmeraising and I hope it can provide a little rest to your thoughts.
Hoy me gustaria compartir este panorama para darle un breve descanso a mi mente que no deja de traerme imágenes desgarradoras de los refugiados sirios. El amanecer en la pequeña aldea de Jamnik, Eslovenia, fue cautivador y espero que os pueda dar un pequeño respiro visual y emocional.
Prints, workshops and more
Presentation is what it's all about sometimes, and Millennium Gold was the perfect subject to pull this off.
The original image can be found on my instagram account if your interested in seeing that (mfstafford_photography). I'm not really into heavy editing but sometimes I like to go crazy with it! It's fun!

A rare, yellow-capped Wendy's nearby Tysons Corner was built here in 1982 and remains as a window into the company's visual heritage!
While most Wendy's have updated far beyond the classic yellow-plated look, this one is one of many presumably, formerly owned by franchiser DavCo., who notoriously avoided updating restaurants to corporate standards and was involved in a suit in 2015 to relinquish their 152 locations within Maryland, D.C. and Virginia.

As I told you before and in the last post , I do everyday one little illustration . Here you can see the starlings I saw today in front of my window, some flowers and that yellow girl is my vision of Amanda Gorman, the United States' first-ever youth poet laureate. She recited a powerful poem at the inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Here are some of her words.:
"When day comes we step out of the shade,
aflame and unafraid,
the new dawn blooms as we free it.
For there is always light,
if only we're brave enough to see it.
If only we're brave enough to be it."
I love that message of hope.
thank you www.flickr.com/photos/colorfulexpressions/ for making me pay attention to this moment.
“So, I said, when does the enchantment start? We were sitting side by side, facing the mountains. "It started when the earth was born." Her eyes were closed. Her face was golden in the setting sun. "It never stops. It is, always. It's just here.”
― Jerry Spinelli, Stargirl
Another one out of my head. Local scenery done from recall - it seems to me to reflect how women supposedly find their way about by using markers in the landscape. I prefer a map meself. Any thoughts? Painted for exhibition at studios.
Steel bends creating wondertul curves, repetition and pathways that lead me to the heart of this photograph. Mirrored ceilings pick and choose among elements to reflect and, in doing so, create a brilliant canvas of shape and color and lines. As hues morph across the frame, warm joins cool and firey hot to add a kick of high energy. Staring through my viewfinder, I was lost in this world for awhile.

These are the ones! 6200 photo submissions to the OC Visual Arts Competition. I entered only a few this year because I traveled less due to moving, and some personal fitness goals. Feeling so privileged that these three made the cut . Can't wait to complete my 2016 photography / travel goals 😃
