After a great week off, it's funny to see where Moxxi wants to go and what's on top of her priority list when she's back home.

Moxxi the corgi is relaxing on some wooden stairs outside. The wood has been replaced in some parts, with the reddish color contrasting with the grey hue of the weathered wood. She's laying down with her head resting on the upper step, looking to the left of the photo.

Morning sunshine reaching the forest floor.
#Photography

The image features a close-up view of a lush green plant with fern-like leaves, set against a predominantly black and white background.
The plant is vibrant and appears to be in a natural, possibly forested environment. The leaves are bright green, with a glossy texture, and are arranged in a pinnate pattern, typical of ferns.

The lighting highlights the plant, making it stand out against the darker, muted background.
The contrast between the vivid green of the plant and the grayscale surroundings emphasizes the plant's details and textures.

The overall composition focuses on the plant, drawing attention to its intricate leaf structure and the interplay of light and shadow.

Every 4th of July, I'm the event photographer for celebrations in Monterey, CA where I work promoting small business. Nicknamed locally as the "Language Capital of the World" its remarkable diversity is always on display at its annual 4th of July parade and other celebrations.

Well, that's in a normal year. Unfortunately the mood in Northern California as it has elsewhere in the United States has descended into a pall of fear and anxiety. It was shocking to see the proudly diverse city of Monterey have the whitest and straightest celebration that I never thought I'd see anywhere in my home state much less in my own backyard.

Uh wait... hold on... (Continued)

The Brilliance and Privilege of Jane Austen and Julia Margaret Cameron

It is crucial to grapple with the colonial structures that helped sustain the lives and work of the two 19th-century contemporaries, both celebrated as feminist heroines.

Portrait of Jane Austen, c. 1810 by Cassandra Austen.

Jane Austen is shown seated, facing slightly to her right (the viewer’s left), with her eyes glancing sideways. Her expression is often interpreted as wary, skeptical, or reserved, with tightly pressed lips.

She wears a high-waisted Regency gown with a frilled neckline and short sleeves.

Title: Julia Margaret Cameron
Artist: Henry Herschel Hay Cameron (British, 1852–1911)
Date: 1870
Medium: Albumen silver print from glass negative

This is a photographic portrait of Julia Margaret Cameron, the renowned Victorian photographer, who was also the mother of the photographer, Henry Herschel Hay Cameron.

Julia is shown in a three-quarter view, facing slightly to her left (viewer’s right). Her head is gently turned, eyes looking off-camera with an introspective, almost mystical expression, characteristic of how she posed her own subjects.

The picture shows a scene by the sea. A rusty chain can be seen in the foreground, which runs vertically and is presumably attached to a ship or a mooring. The chain has a reddish-brown color due to rust and consists of large, oval links. A calm, deep blue sea stretches out in the background, merging with a clear, light blue sky. The horizon line is gentle and gives the picture a peaceful atmosphere. There are no other noticeable details or objects in the picture.

They did not land as strangers. They were returning to a continent that had already been stolen from them. The streets were named for Clay and Ashmun. The flag had stripes and a single white star. The capital was called Monrovia. This was Liberia—built from memory, stitched in exile. A mirror held to the American republic.

This is Mrs. Arcus ca 1972 using my first "good" camera, a Pentax Spotmatic II. (I still have it.).

This is professional scan of a slide, perhaps from Extachrome. 50 mm kit lens. No idea of the camera settings.

Today is our 55th wedding anniversary.

Take a Look at the ‘Extraordinary’ 19th-Century Portraits Made With Some of the Earliest Methods of Photography

Just sharing this reminder of a really glorious day in the #mountains .
I spent quite a bit of time to find exactly THIS spot so that fore and midground blended so well together.

And currently I'm having this as a background image in teams. Sometimes I wonder if this might look unprofessional - and then I think "maybe I don't care".

A stunning landscape featuring a serene lake surrounded by majestic mountains and vibrant yellow flowers. The scene is set under a clear blue sky with fluffy white clouds adding to the picturesque view. The foreground is dominated by black trees and plants, creating a contrast with the bright yellow flowers. The image captures the essence of a peaceful wilderness, with lush green grass leading up to the tranquil lake. The overall color palette is accentuated by a warm golden hue, giving a feeling of a sunny summer day in nature.
