A fortuitous picture taken in northern Michigan, while pulled over on a small back road.

Shanghai incense vendor displays his wares on the street in front of the guardian golden elephants at his front door.

To everything, turn, turn, turn,
There is a season, turn, turn, turn,
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late

I see a climbing man on the branch.
This service berry tree was shocked by near zero temperatures and champagne powder snowfall. 1st frost was over 4 months ago, however, most of the days have been unseasonably warm, which fooled this and many other plants into beginning their spring growth.

I wanted to shoot a scene with a yellow cab in, and there's other images where I have managed this. But this one had the two guys starting to party by the sid eof the road which to me gave the shot some life and realism

Didn't stick around too long. There were four of them after all. As a trained (but lapsed) First Aider and RLSS Life Guard, I didn't fancy jumping in to rescue one of these guys.

I live in a small community (90,000 total pop.). When I post photographs of my street photography on social media I get nothing but praise from subjects and other photographers. However, there is an under-current of aggression from a small but significant section of non-participants. I'd like to anchor these threats of violence have led to some exclusions from FaceBook. People say things like, 'Invasion of privacy...', in public place? All images come with a disclaimer as in (Please do NOT Tag or try to name subjects in my Candid Street Photography. No sale or profit made.), so I believe I don't need to get a release signed from each subject. They also say, 'I would be very annoyed if it appeared on social media....', even though they have significant numbers of family photos on their page.

What are your experiences in this area? Can you give me any advice? Paul

Low angle, morning sunlight dramatically lights up a cottonwood tree along walking path in Green Valley Ranch Golf Course and Highline Canal Trail, Denver, CO.

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you

Green Valley Ranch Golf Course grounds crew predictably water the fairways of the course at the same time every day. Here the early morning sunlight shines through the sprinkler rooster tail and creates a sharp silhouette and shadows from trees along the fairway. Like the pastel rings around the rising sun, which are the result of applying the "Posterize" function to the basic image.

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To a river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night

A 'Toy Town' which is really a real city, photographed from a bridge and given treatment to look like a model. I accomplished this by blurring everything but the center region of the photo, then using a surface blur on rooftops, etc. to make real houses and cars appear to be toys.

Call me (call me) on the line
Call me, call me any, anytime
Call me (call me) my love
You can call me any day or night
Call me

Every Friday 13th there is a huge gathering of Motorcycle enthusiasts in Port Dover, Ontario. They pretty much take over the town for the day...and a lot of them pass right by my front door.....PHOTO OP!

Cleaning is a constant job in Beijing with a population approaching 20 million and growing at 44% for the last decade. A major public awareness campaign tied to the Summer Olympics has increased recycling and decreased littering. Many teams of 1-5 uniformed workers were dispersed ubiquitously throughout the city.

This sugarcane, this lemonade
This hurricane, I'm not afraid
Come on, come on
No one can see me cry

Little darling
It's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling
It feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say
It's all right

Here comes Johnny Yen again
With the liquor and drugs
And the flesh machine
He's gonna do another strip tease.
Hey man, where'd ya get that lotion?
I've been hurting since I've bought the gimmick
about something called love
Yeah, something called love.
Well, that's like hypnotizing chickens.

Recent still life emphasizing my 1950s, plastic, puffy horse ornament. My brother and I argued for almost 20 years whose was this horse and whose was the puffy yellow clown; I won when I established my family and household first and selected this among other personal ornaments.

This teddy bear and a couple of other stuffed animals tucked inside the tree knoll was found in the knoll of a tree next to a highway. Begs the question: Is it is a memorial? Nevertheless, it is a touching and sweet image.

You're holding on to every little thing so tightly
Till there's nothing left for you anyway.

Taken in Detroit Michigan US. This gentleman musician was happy to be entertaining the passerbys. So grateful he allowed me to show his pleasure

Taken in Detroit Michigan US. This gentleman graciously allowed me to take his photograph.

Her green plastic watering can
For her fake Chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself
It wears her out, it wears her out

this is the crop from the photo: Keep the distance

on the tram is the sign that say "keep the distance" in bosnian

One of last shots taken of Denver Botanic Gardens' temporary display, "Chihully in the Gardens." We were being chased out at dusk by the docents ending the open afternoon hours and beginning the sold out evening hours of the last day.

I focused on the closest point, then zoomed out, stopped, zoned out, stopped, etc.

Fun to see how it turned out...Each time is always a bit different.

My sister hosted Christmas dinner and she downsized her tree this year. I've always liked her front room/parlour. Very cozy and great spot for the tree by the fireplace.

Taken @ Dhaka National Garden , Bangladesh

Just a little bokeh shot of my tabletop Christmas Tree :)

Let's waste time chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me, to find my own

One of my favorite places in the world is Lake Waccamaw, NC. This place is home, it is peace, it is solitude, it is family, it is happiness. I was blessed to capture this magnificent gift from God this past week.

I have been getting one of these every year and so enjoy getting them out 2015 top centre

One of the trees I took during my travels, I tried to play with the editing by trying to change the color. Hope You guys iike it..

Tree mushroom off the beaten path in the woods of the Blue Ridge Parkway. The plant is edible and often prepared as a deep-fried delicacy.

A beautiful sunset over the Susquehanna valley York pa.Sam Lewis state park ! The colors were just so strong it looked like fire! 6-4-2013

This is for the Sunrise/sunset challenge.

On this particular day, the smoke from the fires had been really bad. We had wanted to go out shooting earlier in the day, but it was just too smokey. I had not totally given up hope, and thought that with all the smoke in the sky, that it could create a pretty sunset. So at the last minuet, we grabbed the gear, braved the smoke, and headed out. We were looking for the perfect spot, when we came upon these trees. We quickly pulled over, as we were running out of time. We only had just a few minutes to set up, before the sun started to set. Out of all the devastation the fires caused, it did make for some awesome sunsets.

Like the variegated reds and greens of this tree, and the strong vein lines.

Used Picasa for post work on this cell/smartphone capture of neighborhood sugar maple, which is undergoing fall color changes. Really like the contrasting red-green colored patches.

Things you see while you drive your son to work

Then you have to answer with an action

This sign was begging to have a photo taken. Was driving around Old Town this raining morning and though I have often thought I needed to stop and take this shot, this morning, it was truly a "Why Not" kind of day.

A small, about 6 inches tall, palm tree strives for a root hold at the end of the sidewalk along the small boat harbor in Oranjestad, Aruba.

Small bells cap the clock tower in front of Royal Plaza open air mall, Oranjestad, Aruba. Strange because time is not important on tropical islands, at least so go the cliches.

One I took last year, but wanted to jump into assignment with some motivation

The largest oak tree in the state of Alabama. The band Casting Crowns used this as a backdrop for one of their albums.

This tree is AMAZING. Even in the spring when it is green, it is just incredible.

Early in September, before the fall colors really got going, I found this one tree with some color on it. This was a place called Lower Lewis Falls, in Washington. I had seen a lot of images from this place, and wanted to try for something a bit different.

Entertaining the crowds with bubbles against the backdrop of the Old Town Hall in Prague.

This is my first attempt at street photography. It's dark so I didn't feel so conspicuous. I'm walking towards Charles Bridge in Prague, whilst keeping my distance from what looks like a stag party up ahead.
