—————————————————————
This was actually my 'Small' submission for the +Chrysta Rae scavenger hunt, but I thought it fit nicely with this week's theme for #macromonday … a pair of capacitors on an Asus desktop motherboard.

For #macromonday   subtheme of "paired" with thanks to +Sandra Parlow & +Jeff Moreau  
#macrophotography  

It’s all these little things that keep Photoshop running…

Cleaning Up at The Castello

——————————————–
For #caturday  this is Sir Lancelot, one of the two resident guard cats at the beautiful +Castello di Amorosa. He makes sure everyone's behavior is on the up-an-up, and I think he must have just finished off some unruly guest and is cleaning up the remnants…

Heading to Portland

——————————-
I'm heading to the land up north for the weekend, where +Brian Matiash +Nicole S. Young and Kodak roam free!  
I love this infrared image where all the foliage looks snow-covered… thanks for this view, +Nicole S. Young! 
Not my image! Please make image comments on the original post!

Kodak in Dreamland …

I processed another one of my "Kodak in Dreamland" series photos. This was photographed with an infrared-converted camera I rented from +LensRentals.com, and processed to bring color back to +Kodak Matiash's fur. Now I just need to convert one of my own cameras to IR so I can make more of these!

  I just had a couple of fabulously fun days shooting with +Ron Clifford in San Francisco and at the marvelous +Castello di Amorosa in the Napa Valley.
  I discovered this bud in the Rose Garden in Golden Gate Park, and thought it would be perfect for #floralfriday  

The +FloralFriday theme was created by +Tamara Pruessner and is co-curated by +Beth Akerman, +Kiki Nelson, and +Eustace James

A Fabulous Morning Hike in our Back Yard

————————————————
It was so much fun to have +Ron Clifford & +Cheryl Clifford visiting from Toronto for a few days.
We spent an entire day yesterday at the wonderful +Castello di Amorosa (photos from that still to be edited!).

I call this "Our Back Yard" because this lovely overlook Inspiration Point is part of the 1800 acres of undeveloped forest and meadow land that belongs to the small private college where I teach for my 'day job', full of hiking and mountain-biking trails.
