End of the week, and a long holiday upon us, so this will carry us through the weekend.
Time is the fire in which we burn.

Today I am going with B&W with an ambrotype treatment to convey the heat intensity from the fire.
Courage is fire, and bullying is smoke.

Fire! [Series, Day 6]
Same composition as yesterday, only this time the aperture was opened longer to reveal more detail.
There may be a great fire in our hearts, yet no one ever comes to warm himself at it,
and the passers-by see only a wisp of smoke.
Vincent Van Gogh

Yes, I was offline for a couple of days over the weekend. Getting the raised-bed garden going again and building a new greenhouse for some of the plants took a bit longer than anticipated. All good, really!
Back to the series. Today I submit two versions of the same photo, one original and one B&W. You decide which rendition you like better and leave a comment!

The naked eye can see the little glowing sparks as they wend upwards to the heavens. The camera captures the dance!
A quote from Bruce Lee:
“Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.”
Enjoy, my friends!

I’m starting a new series of posts that exhibits a photo project I worked on earlier this year. The project is aptly titled, “Fire!” and represents a very late night shoot of a planned wood slash / debris burn.
These are raw captures and not edited in any way (yet).
Hope you enjoy the series! If you do, please share on Facebook or other social media. Thanks!

Something Different
I love the slow motion video of Alan Rickman preparing tea. Watch the entire video and pay attention to facial expressions and hand movements.
Very clever use of video capture and slo-mo replay.

Bee Bumble Around the Lupine
The bumblebees have returned with the warm weather and blooming plants. This one buzzed around my head as I got low and close to the lupine that just started flowering this week.
Busy bee!
