At one week old, a downy manu-o-Kū hatchling visually explores the world around its nest. The manu-o-Kū is an arboreal nesting pelagic seabird that doesn’t construct a nest; instead using a flat or hollow or fork in the tree to keep the egg from rolling away. The hatchling uses its strong, clawed, semipalmate feet to cling to the swaying tree branch that will be its home until fledging. This one is nesting in a monkeypod tree adjacent to a building in urban Honolulu that provides an opportunity for a cropped telephoto image. Parents alternate fishing and feeding duties leaving the chick unattended for up to several hours. Adults fish up to 120 miles offshore and provision the chick with fresh whole fish or squid rather than devouring then regurgitating a meal. This avian behavior was known to Polynesian voyagers and other seafarers. A landfall that may be out of view over the horizon could be located by following these birds conveying their catch back to their nestling.
Week seven. Theme: Monsters.
I may have let myself get a little carried away with this week's picture. The theme is 'monsters'. Two shoots and five hours of photoshop later and I'm now Medusa!
Many many thanks to Sandy the snake for co-starring :D

It was Redditch Rail week and to mark this event an exhibition train was parked in the station. This train was to showcase rail and particularly freight to the local business leaders. Somebody had the idea of dragging a withdrawn class 40 out, bulling it up and parking it on the train, now I love class 40's but it would not be my first choice to illustrate the new railway to the waiting public...
40013 was built at the Vulcan Foundry as D213, it entered traffic 01/06/1959., 16/06/1962 it received the name Andania. It was withdrawn 18/10/1984 and today presents a fine sight in preservation.

Metallic tattoos for PANACHE mannequins for Display Week trade show at Olympia.
Created by me using copper and gold leaf, in a Maori style to match the dresses on other figures.
Went on a rock climbing trip to Nevada. AMAZING SCENERY. I woke up an hour before dawn so that I'd have time to find a spot to take photos. I ended up driving down a winding highway with epic landscapes and instead of stopping to shoot I kept wondering what I would find around the corner. Suddenly it was two hours later, and I had 20 minutes to just hurry up and get a photo before my friends left to climb without me.
XI Week 14 2-9/4/20
Ok lots of catching up in posting to do.... here's week 1 of 6 to get me up to date. Lockdown has got me even lazier with posting. But I've still been shooting a bit. More soon.
Ok so I missed last week's upload. Oops.. This whole 52 weeks project thing is weighing heavy on me. I've completely and totally lost all ability to plan out and take pictures. So because I'm not the type of person to give up, I decided to upload an old picture. There ya go!
Oh and I'm super sorry for not responding back to anyone. There just aren't enough hours in the day anymore.
Hope everyone had a good weekend!
one from a few weeks back when davina came up for a visit.
this is such a lovely dress and it was really nice to give it another outing.
Explored!
Week 41/52
This shot has been a long time in the making. It was requested by a friend of mine, Mateus, when I first started this project. He wanted me to recreate this sculpture, by my life-long obsession Gian Lorenzo Bernini. I never found the right time to do it, but this week I felt this urge to take the shot. I was already buying the fabric when I realized that tomorrow is actually October 15 — Saint Teresa of Avila's day. So it's either a nice trick my brain did there or a coincidence, but a happy one.
Teresa of Avila is my favorite saint. She's the one I pray to every time things go wrong, she's the one I turn to when I'm sure I can't do this or that, or face a problem or a situation. She's the one whose words I look to, for guidance — so this homage was bound to happen sooner or later.
She was an unbelievably strong woman — the first to be named a Doctor of the Church. Practically alone, she reformed the Carmelites in Spain, turned an order that was loosing itself in the mundane world, into a place of prayer and contemplation. She fought hard for what she wanted, and never seized to work until the day that she died. Her writings (especially her words on her ectsasies) are inspiring to read.
Of course, there's something to be said about the fact that I am representing the angel as well as Saint Teresa in the shot — this came merely out of necessity. I didn't have time to get a kid (even my sister) to do it with me, so I had to do it myself. I understand that for someone who looks into a deeper meaning in this, it might come across as strange, when Teresa of Avila so deeply enjoyed talking about letting go of ourselves and giving our lives to others (and here I am, twice in one shot). But that was the only way the shot could happen, so it had to be this way. Just forget I'm the angel as well. :p
So there's not much more I can say about this shot, other than to leave you with some of my favorite words of hers.
"Be gentle to all, and stern with yourself."
"There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers."
"To have courage for whatever comes in life -- everything lies in that."

On a completely different topic, I've been thinking about reopening my Etsy shop. Do you guys think I should? I've been getting some requests for prints, and I'd sure like to make some money with my work. But at the same time… i don't know. Do you guys think I should?
[Note (January 2015): The window and the arrow were found during a google search. I'm not sure if they are protected by copyright — at the time when I did this, I wasn't completely aware of copyright policy and I did it innocently — but it doesn't take from the fact that I used stock imagery. I've tried back search and other ways of tracking, but I haven't come up with these photos. Either way, if someone knows the author of the window or of the arrow, and can direct me to them, I'll be really grateful. And to the authors of these photos: I sincerely apologize, and I hope that if you ever come across this photo and see your work, you let me know so that I can properly credit you, or take it down. Thank you.]
week 2:HOMETOWN
Mastertons' Pouwhenua.
Pouwhenua or pou whenua (land post), are carved wooden posts used by Māori, the indigenous peoples of New Zealand to mark territorial boundaries or places of significance. They are generally artistically and elaborately carved and can be found throughout New Zealand.
These controversial 20th century interpretations were installed at the northern and southern approaches to Masterton around 2015. The bill for pou came in at just under $92,000, or nearly three times the initial budget. Stage two of the project has never been started.
This is the St. Maurice River. It is within walking distance of my home and, because my home is on an escarpment, a permanent part of my landscape. Starting in my town and heading upriver there are 7 hydroelectric dams on her that end at Barrage Gouin. The St. Maurice was once a major route for floating logs south to mills that still dot her shoreline; altough the mills are becoming scarcer and scarcer.
The pano is created with 5 overlapped shots taken with my cheap, but fun, manual focus, 14mm rokinon. I then added a touch of processing to help with the sky I washed out by not thinking about my tendency to shoot in aperture, wide open; not the settings one wants for a landscape typically.

Recharge
I spent 10 days in Door County relaxing. The weather was great and the sunsets did not disappoint.
Aprés une semaine fatiguante, quel plaisir de se retrouver à la campagne parmi les fleurs.
After a tiring week, what a pleasure to be out in the countryside amongst the flowers.
I've been away from flickr much longer than I wanted to... it will take some time to catch up with all of your photostreams.

[ 21 / 52 Weeks - 21 - 27 may ]
This week subject: Music (and cold tea).
A quanto pare se non ho proprio idee, faccio le foto a libri o simili. XD Sono monotona, si.
Questa settimana davvero disperata. Perdonatemi. Mi fa pena.
Perchè il tè? Con questi primi caldi soffro. Non c'è niente di meglio del tè freddo.
Quelle note non sono a caso. E' l'inizio di una canzone con cui mi sono particolarmente fissata in questi giorni. Ovvero questa qui sotto.
On air: Summertime Sadness - Lana del Rey.
A bit of a gray day this week when we were down at the beach so I made this kind of high contrast photo.
Della had a health concern this past week. I saw some blood on her back end after she went to the bathroom at the beach but no blood in her stool. When we got home as I was cleaning her up blood started pouring out from her backend. The trouble is she is so furry it was hard to tell where it was coming from. Of course it was after hours and the vet office where I work was closed. Fortunately I have a key and went down and got come clot it powder to stop the bleeding.
Della seemed fine through all this. The next morning I brought her to the office and we shaved all around her butt area. The doctors really couldn’t see anything the matter. So my husband took her for a walk, she seemed fine, had a normal stool and no blood anywhere He brought her back so the doctors could do a rectal exam.
My husband was holding her head and I was at the rear end with the doctor.
The doctor had just said it looks a little swollen by her anal gland and as he gently put some pressure from the outside of the area it exploded in his face and all over the wall. I suppose I shouldn’t have laughed but it was really funny and the doctor was laughing too. What wasn’t funny was the amount of blood coming out. He then did a rectal exam and said he didn’t feel any masses but the amount of blood was very unusual.
Della has never in all her life had an anal gland issue. She was not scooting or licking at herself. So the plan is antibiotics for a week and recheck her to see how things go. She is not eating as well as she used to so I am concerned the antibiotics are going to upset her stomach.
Keep your fingers crossed for my old girl. She was a real trooper through all the examining, shaving and washing.
For a 52 Week Facebook photo challenge.
Week 1 'Green' 27 July - 2 August
In the garden: our plum tomatoes coming along nicely this year.
This was my paradise this week. Being inside and out of this bitter cold weather we've been getting. And spending some one on one time with my baby while big brothers are at school
Year X Week 43 20-27/10/19
Just a couple more till I've caught up. This is from Vegas or the 9th island, depending on who you ask. Here are the gorgeous showgirls from one hotel or other, in front of another hotel being very welcoming. More soon.
It's been ages since I've posted here in flickr. I feel really disconnected from this place that has helped me grow as a photographer which is why I've decided to start up a 52 week project. I'm gonna try and post on here at least once a week.
Well a lot has happened since my last post. I guess I should go into it but I'm too lazy right now. I'll just explain later ;)
Until then.. HI FLICKR :D
Happy Halloween

Fun Chipmunk facts:
Fun Facts
Chipmunks are generally solitary except during courtship or when rearing young.
The home range of a chipmunk may be up to 1/2 acre (0.2 ha), but the adult only defends a territory about 50 feet (15.2 m) around the burrow entrance.
Chipmunks are most active during the early morning and late afternoon.
Chipmunks enter a restless hibernation as winter approaches and are relatively inactive from late fall through winter months. They do not enter a deep hibernation but rely on the cache of food they have brought to their burrow. Some become active on warm, sunny days during the winter and most chipmunks emerge from hibernation in early March.
Eastern chipmunks mate two times a year, during early spring and again during the summer or early fall. There is a 31-day gestation period and two to five young are born in April–May and again in August–October. The young are sexually mature within 1 year. Adults may live up to 3 years.
Adult least chipmunks mate over a period of four to six weeks from April–mid-July. Least chipmunks produce 1 litter of two to seven young in May or June. A second litter is occasionally produced in the fall.
Chipmunk pups appear above ground when they are four to six weeks old — 2/3 the size of an adult. Young will leave the burrow at six to eight weeks of age. See less
