On one of Sir John Betjamins radio broadcasts he talked about arriving into Padstow and Valerian. The whole of the dunes around Rock and Padstow are awash with them and I wanted to capture these colours. When they sky and sand started taking on the same shades I knew something interesting should result. This is Sir John's End of the End.. "The next five and a half miles beside the broadening Camel to Padstow is the most beautiful train journey I know. See it on a fine evening at high tide with golden light on the low hills, the heron-hunted mud coves flooded over, the sudden thunder as we cross the bridge over Little Petherick creek, the glimpses of slate roofs and a deserted jetty among spindly Cornish elms, the wide and unexpected sight of open sea at the river mouth, the huge spread-out waste of water with brown ploughed fields coming down to little cliffs where no waves break but only salt tides ripple up and ebb away. Then the utter endness of the end of the line at Padstow - 260 miles of it from London. The smell of fish and seaweed, the crying of gulls, the warm, moist West Country air and the valerian growing wild on slate walls" Sir John Betjeman - Trains and Buttered Toast

www.davidrironsjrphotography.com I hope you are not getting tired of Mount Rainier shots? I have so many from the numerous trips I made this past August, that I want to share them. This year was fantastic for wildflowers with so many flowering at the same time! This was shot on that morning where the mountain was covered in fog and a list mist had been falling. All of the flowers were covered in dew drops, and there just seemed to be a sense of peace while walking the trails above Paradise. This is three exposures merged and tonemapped in Photomatix. I did a little "Dodge and Burn" in Photoshop as well as added a slight vignette in Lightroom. Thank you for your views, comments and faves! I appreciate them.

"Curiosity is natural to the soul of man and interesting objects have a powerful influence on our affections." ~Daniel Boone Since I began taking an interest in photography I have started to look at objects around my home in terms of how they can be photographed together. I am constantly inspired by photos I see on blogs and pinterest. Oftentimes the prettiest pictures are the simplest! A single flower lying on a piece of music, a piece of lace, a dressy shirt hanging in a window, or the blurry outline of someone in the distance. I love pictures of random things sitting together - vignettes and collages. I think they are so quaint and interesting! I wanted to try taking some pictures this way with random pretty things sitting together. I hope you like them and the little "list" I created of a few of the things I like...
