For some odd reason, relatives rarely came to visit our house. But when they did, I always made a point to go and see what kind of car they drove. Being of Italian heritage [ I know, I know, with a last name like Smith... it's a long story ] the automobiles that showed up were very impressive.
Here is a visual memory of those rare visits and the amazing vehicles that showed up.
On a different note:
It had been threatening rain the day I took this photo, but I was feeling the need to go out and be creative.
Not having a car, I dragged my gear about a half mile away and set up the shot.
You know where this story is going; so let me say I got the shot and made it home just as the deluge hit.
Personally, I've always liked the quality of light that happens before a storm and it shows up nicely in this image.
Both of the cars are by The Danbury Mint. The Buick is spectacular.
Looking out over Higgins Lake as the sun sets.
I sit and think as the clouds begin to wink
It looks like God peeks.
He peeks to see whats up with you and me.
Perhaps life goes so fast he doesn't want to blink.
It looks like God peeks.

Did everybody died ?
Or is everybody asleep ?
Why are the streets of Christmas City so empty ?
Sont-ils tous morts ?
Ou seulement endormis ?
Pourquoi donc les rues sont si vides
A Christmas City...
Liege, Belgium
It was -22C feels like -28C when I was out taking this photo. I guess even the little birds have to huddle with a friend to stay warm.
Canon EOS 5DS with a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS lens. Cropped and Processed in Lightroom Classic.
I want to thank you for taking the time to visit my little space here on Flickr.
When I'm cold
There's a light that you give me

When I'm in shadows
It's a feeling within me, everglow
The light that you left me will everglow

When your bird has a great shape (like most birds do) and you have a bright background, consider making a silhouette by exposing for the background and letting the bird go completely black. To do this, use spot metering and meter on the background.

Week 8/52 — Outtake #1
Title taken from the Sara Bareilles song 'Before I ever knew better'.
----
As usual, the first outtake is the photo I actually wanted to post as main but didn't go with my motto. But I'm kind of in love with this shot (and the one in the comments) so bear with me.
It would have actually been appropriate to post the other one today, because of the new trailer that came out for 'For Lovers Only', which is just about the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I'm getting scared of being too excited for that movie just to have it blow up in my face, but it just looks so damn gorgeous. The black and white, Miss Katic, the music, the style... oh, it's delightful! I can't wait!
Oh, and I'll need a week to recover from last week + weekend. I was so busy and hyper, and the classes on saturday were pretty damn amazing (MY DUALFLEX WORKS! — MEDIUM FORMAT HERE I COME!), I went out for sushi and a night out with friends, then a lovely sunday, then the Oscars (The Social Network was robbed, btw — but I STILL WORSHIP YOU, SORKIN), so now I'm a bit tired. But very, very happy. :)
Some of you may remember that I got a WS Ruki for my birthday. I planned to home tan her, and send her to Olga for a face up.
Unfortunately, it has not happened yet. >_<
I bought the dye, and have done lots of research. I *should* be able to do it now....yet I keep hesitating.
Of course, in the meantime I had to go and put different eyes in her head, and try Molly's wig on her.... and now her sweet little paleness has grown on me!
Also, I am a little concerned about how well the home tan will endure over time. I am worried it might change, become speckled, or fade. I would love to hear from others that have had a hometanned baby for a while.
I still want to do it, but I am just waiting for when I feel it is the right time. I keep hesitating. I have such a hard time erasing the Lati artist's work on her faceup. She is so sweet already. Even though I know I will love Olga's face up, and have dreamed of having her do a Lati for me for over a year now, I have the hardest time taking the plunge when she is so cute.
Arrgh- I am so terrible about this! This is the second doll I bought to tan, but then could not go through with it.
Maybe I will, someday.
When my wife and I married I promised to take her on a cruise. She said this is not what she had in mind.
Had some pretty smoky conditions this year from the Canada fires. Good to hear they have been getting some much needed rain. And for us a wonderful show before bedtime.

I love walking with my hands in my pockets, but my face does not always agree. I am a tripper. Yes, I trip quite a lot.
When you meet someone whose spirit is not aligned with yours.....
send them love and move along.

I wanna be like him. Went to a local supermarket today and when I left, I noticed this guy. I drew the camera out - he noticed me ... so I forgot about "candid", got out of my car and started to talk to him. He told me he was 81 years old. And has been all arounf the world on his XT 350 (I think its a yamaha?)
Bald Eagle at Conowingo Dam. Just a little North of the Chesapeake Bay, on the lower Susquehanna River in Conowingo, Maryland, is the Conowingo Dam. In 1928, when the dam was complete, it was the second largest producer of electricity in the United States after Niagra Falls. The location is popular with photographers especially in late fall into Winter and especially when the dam is letting water through the turbines. The Eagles come to feed on fish below the spillways and create a lot of opportunity for photo enthusiasts. You are welcome to share. www.lancerogersphotos.com www.instagram.com/lancerogersphotos, #BaldEagle, #Conowingo
Willow: ... I'm going to be Storm, the X-Man.
Me: Don't you mean X-Woman?
Willow: No, it's X-Man even if it's a woman I'm sure.
Me: You mean X-Men then. Not man. It's a group name.
Willow: .... When I grow up, I'm going to be Storm and cast lightning bolts on meanies and sunshine on not meanies.
Willow had a way to make me see sense...

For the theme "When I Grow Up" in the Blythe a Day group.
I found a very old camera, and when the pictures were developed this was one of them. Probably taken by a T-Rex.

...publicly humiliate that summbitch.
One of my "Honey turn the car around!" moments this weekend. I love when we run across gems like this.

Let the raft carry you.

And,……when the adorable little « wild » yellow ones re-appear on our beloved earth, still being fresh, and covered by dry fallen leaves and branches, then, there is NO doubt : Spring has COME ! For good! And every big or small creature -- animal , plant , or human one — it is there to celebrate!!! Everything seems to change in form and colour!! Cause everything becomes active, brighter, sparkling, and colourful ! It is just our Mama’s Nature …magic wand, ….in action! After all, Spring is the time of everything’s and everyone’s re-BIRTH and re-newal!! …Outwardly,….and…..inwardly….
**** I wish and pray from my heart, for the beautiful JAPAN’S TRUE REBIRTH!!! I wish , that ALL my Japanese talented Nature-Photographers friends, are SAFE and WELL!!! I just, can’t stand thinking of them otherwise!!...
When I heard about a waterfall in Death Valley, I had to check it out for myself. Not much volume, but amazing to find flowing water in the desert.
