I use a photoshop program to enhance some of the colors, but I do it by hand and not the auto program. The butterfly though is a straight shot. The ocean mostly has the light evened out as it was a very bright day. Elspode showed me a few tips on the color enhancements, but I have branched out with shots like the Faery one.

I particularly am fond of Georgia O'Keefe's work and love to focus on the close up of the flowers. If I can get a printer to work I plan on a photo series with the water lilies and the plastic looking flowers. I have ideas in my head of incoorperating paper making and batik work with the photos, but still haven't spent the time yet making it happen.

Right now dealing with my ex husband to be/yet still partner is consuming every ounce of creative energy I have outside the photography. Thank the Goddess for Elspode who is my link to sanity, peace and love with out drama. Sooo looking forward to this weekend, will get some more great pictures I hope (if someone remembers to put my memory card back in my camera lol)

I plan to bring the laptop to camp, so even if I forget, it will still be in there when we arrive.

BTW...does it sound as unlikely to everyone else as it does to me for me to be referred to as someone's "link to sanity"?

Ooh, Niagara! I was there last summer! My photos aren't as nice as yours, though.

All gorgeous as usual, thank you.

Ibs, sorry to lower the tone, but how do you sit down in jeans that low slung without your fanny popping out? Really? I mean even standing up you must be able to see her arse crack?

But the second one is SO beautifully lit - wonderful.

Saw this amphibious vehicle while on vacation in Maine. Check out the guy on the rear deck for scale. It carries large loads to the islands. You can drive a full sized dump truck up the ramp and take it to one of the islands.

Hate to be paying the gas bill on that monster.
On the other hand, I'd like to have one and convert it to a luxury mobile home/yacht. By that time I wouldn't have to worry about mileage*.

I did a little looking in to it when I got back to civilization. Apparently they were built in the late 50s for the Army and saw some action in Vietnam. The Army got rid of them a few years ago and one private charter company in Maine bought a couple to ferry big stuff to various islands. This one has apparently been used to supply the building materials for the huge house Chief Justice Roberts is building on an island near there.

Thanks. I was amazed by this thing. All four wheels are steerable. It's got dual props. It was clearly a working vessel that was well maintained.

Maintenance on that thing must be a *bitch*, because it looks like nothing more than a bigass truck with a boat hull. I'm guessing there's some real interesting bearing seals and such on that beastie.

Well, here's the company's website, so you can see it from the top.
And here's a bunch of pictures on flickr by jkirlin of one getting stuck on a soft sand bar and the guys waiting for the tide to come back in to float them off.



And this website has some information on these LARC-LXs.
