newport-breakfast
I loved the way the light made the juices glow and faded the coffee urn to black. Just a simple setup, but a sweet reminder of a lovely weekend.
This was taken shortly after 9/11 (I am from NJ and as you can imagine that was a very difficult time for all of us), and it reminds me of a small oasis of safety that my husband and I shared.

Entrapment
This spider on Sundew has been reworked ..
This is a member of a type of plant referred to as insectivorous that is a plant that gets it's nutrients from the trapping /capturing / extraction and absorption of insects that are attracted to the plant either for dew drops or nectar like substance.In the case of this plant the sapphire coloured sticky tentacles are tipped with a small jewel like drop of dew to which the insect is fatally attracted they almost always become stuck and the tentacles rapidly coil around the insect as does the delicate( 3mm across) frond the unfortunate insect is doomed from then on and is slowly consumed over a period of days macabrely it is still alive for most of that time.This tiny little spider you see here is a form of money spider of which there are many and is perfectly safe on this side of the frond being the non sticky side it appears to be taking advantage of the Sundews ability to attract insects.You often do see a variety of spiders living among all types of insectivorous plants so it must be worth it..

Black-eyed Susan Checking Out
With summer gone, this black-eyed susan is trying to hang on a little longer. The petals have almost completely been blown off by the fall winds. Fall is not only bright, it is just as much dark. That is why it is my favorite season.
My name is Carl Vizzone. I live in Chicago. I am relatively new to photography. My weapon for this particular shot was a Canon 30D strapped with the 28-135 IS lens. This happens to be one of my favorite pics. The bright yellow tone of life, mingling with the future of death and decay. I feel that this is one of my best works to date.

like a Greek guard
The photo was taken about this time last year when my wife and I were on a tour which included Ukraine, Turkey and Greece. I believe it was taken near the National Gardens on Vasilissis Sofias street just off Syndagma Square in Athens. I noticed the afternoon sun slanting through the fence behind the guard and took a series of photos. I didn't notice the refraction until I uploaded the pictures to my computer.
I live near Port Alberni, BC, Canada and I like travel and photography. My pseudonym - alaskapine - is the name of a mill in New Westminster that burned down in 1967 despite attempt by Martin Mars water bombers to put out the fire. Sproat Lake where I now live is the maintenance base for the Mars aircraft.

In The Wind
(photo: gargaro)
"Dust In The Wind" by KANSAS
(Kerry Livgren)
I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind
Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, all your money won't another minute buy
Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind

Train In The Valley
Cartersville, GA
I have this thing about trains, sunrise, water, sky, and reflections. Add a touch of fog produced by a rather cold morning and this is what it became.
