A View from the Owens Valley
The Owens Valley has an interesting history. Essentially, Los Angeles, the city, took all its water for itself. It is also where the Manzanar Concentration Camp interred thousands of Japanese American citizens during the dark and scary days of World War II. While not the horrific camps of the German Nazis, these internment camps were still horrors in their own right, and a blight on America’s history of human rights.
Hummingbird Moth
The very first day of our vacation to Mammoth Lakes earlier this summer found us arriving at our B&B on a fine, sunny day. The balcony behind the house was brilliant in the sunshine, and to greet us was this Hummingbird Moth, fluttering around, and for all intents and purposes, looking and acting as a hummingbird does – quick darts, sudden stops, hovering in the air. Luckily my camera was able to capture this beauty. Interestingly enough, I had never heard about Hummingbird Moths until only a few days before I saw this one!
Heaven Help Me!
There are just days when one’s evil side takes over . . .
and things just deteriorate all the way.
But it sure is damned fun!
Time to Fly
I always enjoy taking a color image and seeing what it looks like in B&W – sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. With presets, the choices become even more interesting.
