The Weekend Share-a-thon
I'm sharing you!
Reply with a link to your best work and I'll share it!
(But READ the RULES below first)
So I went to my profile this morning and yesterday's post is just gone.
All those wonderful comments from you folks, all your plusses and shares … gone.
I'm really frustrated with this photo upload bug right now so I thought, instead of sharing my work and the liabilities involved with the current #GooglePlusUpdate , I will share your wonderful work until it's fixed.
Here are the RULES
1– Go to your best shot in the lightbox and copy the link in the address bar and put it in the comments here. if the link you've gathered ends in "posts" it will go directly to your profile stream, NOT the image and I won't be able to share your best shot. I won't spe... more »

California Condor
This magnificent bird hangs out at the Wild Animal Park near San Diego!! They have brought back this species from the brink of extinction! They now fly free over the Grand Canyon and parts of southern Utah and northern Arizona. It just shows what we can do when we put our minds to it!!

Landscape Photography Curators Circle
The +Landscape Photography #LandscapePhotography theme is proud to announce it's updated list of curators. If you are a +Landscape Photography participant or plan to do so, then be sure to save this circle!!!
The great +Kevin Rowe and +Dave Welling have joined the landscape team as Associate Curators!!
When you go to post a photograph to the +Landscape Photography theme, just add the curator circle and be sure to check the "Send email to..." checkbox. Check that box and each curator will get an email notification. So much easier than listing everyone separately!!
Share and Enjoy -- Be Sure to Save This Circle !!

Shafts of Light
There are places where you visit that you know you'll never forget. Upper Antelope Canyon near Page, Arizona is one of those special places. The light bounces against the walls of the narrow canyon and highlight the delicate patterns and colors on the walls. I hope you get to visit there someday!!

Somali Wild Ass
These beautiful animals are critically endangered with less than 1000 in the wild. This group is at the Wild Animal Park north of San Diego. They normally aren't this visible to the public. The guides thought there might have been a snake in their several acre enclosure so they were being very alert and watchful. They aren't difficult to raise and thrive here at WAP. War, drought, and hunting have almost eliminated them in the wild.
These animals ask for very little!! They need a place to live, some water, and a bit of grass. Why can't they live in their native habitat? Why must it all be destroyed?

Spider Rock - Canyon de Chelly, Arizona
I was lucky to view Canyon de Chelly after a series of thunderstorms. The dust was washed from the red rock faces and I saw all the breathtaking beauty that is here!!
The canyon felt renewed and I felt renewed too!! Are there places that make you feel that way? I'd love to hear about them!

Where Is Our Compassion ?
The Homeless Man has just found some discarded food in the trash can and is having breakfast.
Jackson Square is the central tourist district of New Orleans. This is the southwest corner of Jackson Square about 9 am on a chilly March morning.
Business men and women are walking briskly to their offices.
Store clerks are just opening their venues for the day.
Artists of all kinds are setting up their displays around the square.
Tourists are having beignets and coffee. Cafe Du Monde is a block away. The tourists are the slow ones in casual attire gawking at everyone and everything!!
Am I the only one who sees the homeless man having breakfast?

Is This Your Photograph? Are You The Photographer?
It actually belongs to me but how would you know that I didn't steal it from some where on the WWW? Visit the Google Chrome Store and pick up this Chrome extension: http://goo.gl/30Cjf
When you see a suspicious photo, right click, and select "Search Google with this image". The wonderful powers of Google Search are invoked to search for copies of the image. It will also display "similar" results.
Use this tool!! Let's put an end to image theft that seems to be everywhere on G+ lately. Let me say this plainly:
Sharing a photo WITHOUT giving proper credit to the photographer or the source is WRONG !!! Such photos are NOT welcome in my stream or in +Landscape Photography !!

How Active Are You On G+ ?
Spring Cleaning: Spring is the best time for renewal, refreshing, and revamping anything and everything! I've already started on the garage. It's time for circle cleaning too!! I haven't done that in a while, and WOW!!!! Was I ever surprised at the number of people in my circles who haven't posted anything yet this year! They're gone!!! Gone! Gone!! Gone!!!
How do you deal with inactives? I use a great tool from Circloscope. You can check out +Circloscope and also the Circloscape Community. I use the free version but I understand the modestly priced version is very powerful.
How long do you allow inactives to remain? The default on the tool is now January 1, 2013. That's 3 months and seemed reasonable to me. What's your limit?

How Close Will You Go ? Canyon de Chelle, Arizona
I'm digging out from another 9 in. of snow and am wondering when spring will come!! I need some sunshine so I'm thinking of wonderful times in Arizona such as walking these cliffs on the edge of Canyon de Chelle. Some photographers are very brave and venture out to the very edge!! I found a great view from a safer distance!! I am curious, just how far will you go to get that shot?

Wind Swept Waves - Freeport, Bahamas
The mechanical structures you see in the distance is an off-shore tanker fueling facility. Note that the structure is tilted slightly due to the strong waves. Hence it distorts the horizon line slightly! The strong wind gusts make for beautiful waves as they crashed near the shore!

Oak Alley Plantation
Beautifully restored, Oak Alley Plantation sets on the Mississippi River near New Orleans. These magnificent oak trees that the locals call Live Oak Trees are over 300 years old. There are 28 of them, 14 on each side of the road leading to the house. They span 1/4 mile from the house to the Mississippi River and were an excellent substitute for air conditioning. Natural breezes follow the great Mississippi and these oak trees formed a natural canyon to direct the breezes to the house.
I was struck by the great contrast between the haves and the have-nots. This was the great plantation home of the haves! 1200 acres of sugar cane and a beautiful country home. The slaves and servants provided the labor forces to work the 1200 acres and cater to the plantation owners.
This is the Louisiana version of the plantation that is Gone With Th... more »

Late Afternoon on the South Rim
I love the wonderful light in late afternoon on the South Rim as the shadows start to overtake the monuments within the canyon! The light brings out the rich vivid colors that have made this place famous. I love to spend time there!!

Gnarly Juniper Greets Sunrise on the South Rim
The ancient juniper is twisted and gnarly and waits patiently for sunlight to sweep over the canyon! It's early morning on the South Rim and all is at peace! Hope you have a great day!!

Great Photographers With < 50,000 Followers
This is a very special circle. I’ve not shared it before but I have shared the people in it. I call it the Graduates Circle. These are the fine people that I shared with you when they had < 25,000 followers but now they have more – they’ve graduated! These are the people who are top photographers, very interactive, and are the heart and soul of G+. I ask each of them to identify those people who inspire them, form a circle and share it.
