Wow one never knows how much the Internet means to them until they don't have it.  :-/

Long story about AT&T's debacle and horrible service ill follow up on down the road after I get the new one all dialed in. "Supposedly" they will have me up and running sometime tomorrow after 8PM.  It wasn't the greatest of timing on their part as if it is ever great timing.... but with myself trying to coordinate the upcoming +The Google + Two Year Anniversary Photowalk and all that goes along with it..... they dropped the ball big time.

I'll get everything back up to speed this weekend if I'm missing anything or anyone in the photowalks. Please bear with me as I get back settled in this weekend.  My apologies for not being able to answer everyone's questions and add their events as quickly as you may be use to from last year.

So you think electric/hybrid cars are something new?

I give you the “1913 Chicago Electric.”  It could travel @ 25mph and go over 100 miles on a single charge.  It was considered a luxury car for the time and you had to pay a premium to get it.

I just processed this shot that I took over a year ago. After talking with the owner for quite a while about this car and others that he had at the location, I watched as he climbed in and took a couple ladies off into the sunset…..   

I'm also attaching a couple other images from articles back in the day about this car.

G'morning/afternoon/evening wherever you are in Googleville.....

Dude, don't move Sergio's getting ready to swing!!

Sorry I couldn't help myself when I was going to process this image.  。◕‿◕。

For those that don't get it, briefly it refers to the PGA golfer Sergio Garcia accusing Tiger Woods of moving while he was across the fairway which made the crowd following him cheer. They don't really get along and Sergio is known for being a bit of a whiner. (not winner)

Tiger got the last laugh however by winning the tournament and Sergio had some instant karma by hitting three of his final shots into the water on the last two holes.  
(Sorry but I secretly laughed when he did)

Before I head off to see the sandman tonight.....

I thought I'd share this video I just came across, very surreal.....

I had to share it as I only wish I were there too.

I went out last night to get a sunset

However as I got in my car to head up to the highest vantage point around me, I saw smoke billowing off in the other direction. I headed off to see what it was and when I got there it was a two story home on fire. There were already about 5 vehicles at the scene with many fireman already inside. Smoke was coming out of just about every window and door at the time.

I started shooting as I was walking over to the scene and here are some of the images that I got. 

I processed this first image of one of the firemen who was talking to one of the residents that had been inside the home. I sat down beside her and talked with her for about 15 minutes and listened to her sadness. It was mainly focused on the fact that she had apparently lost her cat inside. She held my hand and questioned many things during our conversation, one of them... more »

Random kids having fun at the beach!

When I was out camping and strolling along the beach, I saw these two playing in the sand without a care in the world.

I thought I would process this a little different than my usual.  。◕‿◕。

I hope everyone is having a great day & weekend.

This guy is about ¼" in size, so you can imagine how small the other little bugs are that he's trying to eat.  。◕‿◕。

I believe it's called a "Hoverfly"?

I just got home from work, changed clothes and heading back out to work.......  ;-)

In any case, I thought I'd share it with #buggyfriday curated by +Ray Bilcliff +Sherry McBriar +Dorothy Pugh

What do you do when you have a late night craving?

Well, you look in the fridge and see what you have as an option....
hmmm I see ice-cream and I see root beer... sounds like a root beer float to me!! 

It looked so good after I made it; I thought I needed a shot of it, so here it is was and a BTS shot from my RAZR cell phone.
As a quick setup, I pulled the rotating top off of a black pedestal I have and then set it on top of a little waste basket in front of the main part of the pedestal. I then needed some alternative lighting as it didn't look all that great with just the normal overhead light on. So I grabbed some black construction paper and rolled it up to make a snoot for a small halogen light I had in the room. I then aimed it at the glass from the side to give it a bit of life and turned out the lights... ~click~ here it is.

By the way; even if... more »

Baby Hummers

I rescued these little guys that had fallen out of their nest. I didn't want to touch them for fear of their mama not taking care of them if my scent was on them. So I got a cup from in the house and gently scooped them up one at a time and placed them back in the nest.

Hummers usually always have two eggs and by the time that they are almost ready to fly, they're way to big for the tiny nest that mama built. These were very tiny guys and you can tell by the shot that they didn't really fit in the nest anymore, but rather on top of it.

The good news is that they both survived the night without falling out again and then the next day they took flight.

Happy Friday everyone.......

...and you wondered how flowers got pollinated   。◕‿◕。

Here's a little shot I found floating around in my files from a couple weeks back. 

This dude's definitely a pollenhead

Candid Silliness

Just processed a shot of my little girls little girl.   。◕‿◕。
I caught this last year while out camping with about 50 of my friends.
She was playing in the sand when she looked over and saw me.
This is one of her typical goofy smile moments......

I thought I'd share one of my favorite little people in my life.

G'evening/morning/afternoon wherever you are in Googleville.....

Ladybug hunting for dinner

We all know how small a ladybug is, so imagine the size of the other critters crawling around in there...

I shot this quite a while back, but just stumbled on it while doing some file management. (at least trying to)  Was a hand held macro in a slight breeze. I forget what my settings were at the time, because I added an extension tube on a so so lens to try and get a bit deeper into the shot.

Thinking of you on this day Mother ..........

You were the keystone that kept the family together.
You were rock solid in your efforts to be the strong foundation.
You were able to bend with the moment and not break.
You were ever flowing with a river of compassion.
You were the ultimate teacher with a degree in life......

I am a better person for having you guide me through it.
I hope to be ......

I love you always and all ways.

Happy Mothers Day to all you Moms & Mr. Moms.
Be thoughtful teachers of life.

Guess what I came home to on my doorstep?

Yes, my copy of the Plus One Collection 2012 which I was fortunate and humbled to have been added to. It's a great book as I went through it before taking the time to snap this photo. The quality of the images and the layout is very well done.

There are many great photographers and photos inside. Thank you to everyone that helped create this with your own images and time. I would especially like to thank +Ivan Makarov & +Andy Lee for the huge amount of time and effort that you guys have put into this.

Mother Nature was kind last night

I jumped in my car and got over to Tustin Ranch Golf Course just before the sun was setting.

It's not all concrete

Yes many would not have guessed that this is a shot taken down in the LA River flood control channel. 

Sometimes we find beauty where we least expect it and this was one of those days last year on +The Google + One Year Anniversary Photowalk.

Hopefully I will find some more beauty on this years
+The Google + Two Year Anniversary Photowalk wherever I end up.

Will you be participating in a worldwide photowalk?

I'll be looking for all of your wonderful photos in the #G+2yearAnniversary   streams again this year! We're up to 41 cities already signed up and many more in the thought process stage.

Great job everyone and keep up the good work!!

Cutie Patootie Bear

Pulled this one out of the files from +The Google + One Year Anniversary Photowalk that I hadn't yet processed. This was a candid kid sitting in a fast food restaurant that I asked his mother permission to take his photograph. She smiled and said yes, as he was kind of looking in all different directions.  I made some clicking sounds with my mouth which got him to turn my way and I snapped off a couple quick shots.

So this is your early morning smile for the day. 
( at least in my part of the world )

Never too young to learn

This was from +The Google + One Year Anniversary Photowalk in #gplusanniversarylariver and I forget the names here. My brain is like a hard drive that's full and slowing dooooooooown.  。◕‿◕。

Wake up and come out to play

A couple of shots from a Borage plant. This was a new one for me that I hadn't photographed before. They've got a ton of character to them though and I'll be back to get it again in the future once I get my macro 100mm f2.8L lens.
( saving my pennies dollars for that one )

Best viewed in Fullscreen mode if possible

I hope everyone out there in Googleville is having a great day.....

Carefully Cleaned Cute City Cottage

Grabbed a shot of this old cottage in Old Town Tustin on a stormy day.
This residence is always meticulously maintained every time I venture past. It makes you feel as if you're not in the city at all.
(for those of us that are city dwellers)

I've grabbed several shots around this property over the years and I'm sure there's more in the future.   。◕‿◕。

Hang in there baby

I took a little stroll today over to house near by and grabbed this little guy.
I didn't think I would get anything because the clouds were just getting ready explode with rain at any time and was rather gloomy out.

I was actually checking out these cool flowers (have no idea what they're called) when this guy flew into frame. I had my camera on a tripod since it was pretty breezy at the time and was just waiting for the calmer moments to grab what I could.

In any case, I thought I'd share it and hope that everyone's having a great Cinco De Mayo and be safe.

Old friend new look

Feeling a bit monochrome today, so thought I'd share an old friend from Long Beach that waited very patiently for me to grab a shot of him.

Been crazy busy with work and almost getting caught back up..  @¿@
I can't wait to get back out catching some shots on some free time.

Speaking of getting back out there shooting, Have you all got the word yet about +The Google + Two Year Anniversary Photowalk? Yes it's that time of year again and you can get all the info over on this years page ( above link ) or go to the new community page I made this year to let a larger group of people hook up for their various photowalks around the world on June 29th 2013.   You can find that page here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/115169776424241517038
Links for making or joining an event can be found on that page also.

So last year, I took on the task of the one year Anniversary photowalk by myself. It was exciting and fun and I had a good time in the process. I met many new people/photographers and some IRL. There was that time thing though of investing over 400 hours in the process to make it happen. I was able to give that time last year because of my job situation, this year is much different and I'm adding on some people to help along the way.

Today +Carra Riley joined the team to help me (and all of you) make the 2 year an even bigger success! She is now a moderator here on the community page and also on +The Google + Two Year Anniversary Photowalk page to keep this event moving forward. (and take a bit of stress off me)  。◕‿◕。

I'll be adding 1 or 2 more people in the future as it starts to get crazier the closer it gets to the day of the event. So welcome aboard Carraand thank you ... more »

So with just a little over 5 days ago when I first started this. we currently have 26 photowalks in 10 different countries signed up! Way to go you guys, I'm thinking we can hit my goal of 200 cities when all is said and done.  
。◕‿◕。 ( still 9½ weeks to go )

Please continue to share the events and of course this community with your own people and circled friends. I saw one event where 96 people have already said they were going... holy cow that's pretty cool for this short amount of time already!    Way to go Tokyo !!

Rules: yes we need to have some rules ;-)

1) No Spamming : Your post will be removed by one of the Moderators as soon as it is seen and a second offense will result in a banning from the community.

2) Conduct : NO TROLLS ALLOWED, they will be permanently BANNED.  This is a community about getting together for a worldwide photowalk to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of Google Plus. The 1 year  anniversary photowalk went off with a bang and everyone had a great time, so we hope to build on that this year.

3) Random give-away prizes : You must have been a G+ participant in one of the registered/posted events for that day and I will need to have received your name from the host of your event. 
(or another participant helper)

Caution Curves Ahead

I noticed the cool patterns in the rocks along the shoreline in Little Corona Beach. It was as if they were in motion like the water. 。◕‿◕。

I hope you all are having a great weekend....

OK, off and running to work and I'll try and pop in at lunch time to see how things are going. 9 locations created for photowalks in less than 1 full day so far!  This should be fun!

Hello, I'll get the ball rolling here.  My name +Joe Vallee  and I am the one that set up +The Google + One Year Anniversary Photowalk page and the photo contest and awards give aways that followed.  It went so well that everyone was asking when it would happen again?  Of course that would be a year later for the 2 year photowalk. June 29th 2013 everywhere.

Lets get this thing started and if you have any questions, post them in the "Discussion" link to the Left <---

I always wondered what a shoe tree was?

As the story goes, this was apparently a baby booty tree and has grown into this shoe tree.
(wondering if it will turn into a slipper tree at a ripe old age)

。◕‿◕。 Have a great weekend everyone!!
