Always on the lookout for a good less expensive coffee, I came across this one on a recent trip.

07/05/2015Cheating again? I think not this time. Perhaps the best known doors in the world. Musical, theatrical, poetic, colorful, creative, aged and timeless, these doors have opened the way for many people.

Bouquet and Bee (Gaillardia) – Photography
07/03/2015Went out yesterday looking for my Blue Heron which walked on water. Didn’t find him, but found these pretty flowers shot from 19 feet away with a 300mm lens (that’s all I had with me). Added the vignette through GIMP which was so painful (probably would’ve been just as painful for me in any editing software) I had to stop in the middle, go out, climb a ladder and clean my rain gutters. Some day I’ll learn the software and happily watch the rain overflow my gutters.
The flower? My best guess is some sort of Gaillardia (Joe Bell Flower), also known in Sweden as Flower Thingy.
Turtle Thursday? – Baby Turtles (5 photos) – Photography
07/02/2015Turtle Thursday? Why not? And what can be cuter on Turtle Thursday than baby turtles? So here are five photos of them in situ. As these are little guys at best, you may want to click on the images to get a better view.
Weekly Photo Challenge – Cloudscape – Sky – Muse – Photography
06/27/2015A muse? Hmmm… Seldom do I think that deeply. In fact, to generalize the last sentence, seldom do I think. But to go along with the challenge, the sky could be my muse. Most light comes from the sky. Light is something that inspires photographers. In its own right, the sky is notable as the canvas for sunrises, sunsets, weather, clouds, sun, moon and stars. To celebrate the sky, here’s a cloudscape.

Weekly Photo Challenge – Roy G. Biv – Sunset – Photography
06/20/2015I cheated. Again. Sorry. In order to come close to the challenge I included the histogram for photo in the challenge (and a little bit of my desktop wallpaper). So here’s the cheat and the final photo.
