The monkeys in the neighborhood are quite a nuisance, not afraid of the dogs. I have two GSD, but they dont care

My LBC would deal with this in no time! 
This house with the rising forest behind has fascinated me for quite a while from a photographic point of view. I just wish it would be a bit more isolated, the neighbouring houses make it a bit difficult if you don’t want a smartphone-like portrait crop…

Finishing off my captures from the late-May Melbourne trip, this time some in and around the Australian Catholic University campus where the conference was held:
St Mary MacKillop - known as St Mary of the Cross - patron of ACU; canonised in 2010:
This cast iron cross from the original grave of St Mary MacKillop:
A couple of captures in a small and modern - but architecturally beautiful - chapel in the Daniel Mannix Building:
In the foyer of the Saint Teresa of Kolkata building:

I took my camera out into the garden again today and took lots of pictures of insects and butterflies.
There were lots of bumblebees collecting nectar from the vetch.

You’re sure it isn’t a couple of Elon Musk’s thousands of night sky polluting Starlink sattelites?

And another, snapped with the phone (5 frames) the morning before the one I posted above. There were some not so beautiful buildings lower in the frame, so I cropped those out.

I love the detail of the tops of the clouds at the lower left.

The Mrs. and I went to Vancouver yesterday to hike the Grouse Grind…a steep, yet relatively short, mountain hike.
I didn’t take much time for photos, but brought gear regardless…because I can’t really leave the house without a camera anymore.
I’d really like to return here again and take some time to go off the trail and compose dome shots when there’s water running down the mountain, and perhaps get some usable images of the shipping port visible at the top.
Next time I guess.

Love the eye contact!
I’m trying very hard not to flood this thread with my work, but this one was pretty fun to play with.
This is from a few weeks back, and I’m just trying to catch up on some processing that I’d skipped. This is near the top of what are called the Cinnamon Ridge Hoodoos in Kamloops, BC. I’ve been there a couple of times but never up this high. Still hoping to get to the top but I keep getting distracted by this damn tripod and camera on the way 
I had never used the color look up table before and after seeing a short @s7habo video on its application I had to try it.
What a cool tool…I think that it and the uniform blend exposure mask are going to be mainstays in my work now.

A quick grab from a moving car of tonight’s colourful sky:- pleased I got the sharp silhouette of the mountain range through the motion-blurred fence
