Poppies in the Blue
Daily Deviation 7/8/2015
Hello! My name is Ruth, though I am commonly known as kayaksailor (https://www.deviantart.com/kayaksailor) on DeviantArt. I have been a photographer for most of my life, adding up to more than a half century of taking photos! I made the official switch from film to digital in May 2007 (about the same time as I joined DA) after getting my first dSLR, a Nikon D100, at a yard sale. As I am rather fond of flower gardens and the accompanying insects, those are my primary subjects and will be my examples for this article. Personal taste will dictate your scenes!

Wild Fire burning
King Fire Update!!
The fire is now being reported as 92% contained :w00t: there are still pockets of smoldering trees well away from the containment lines. The over 8000 fire personnel has been reduced to 3400 - still a lot of people power but far less than at the height :love: The structures lost is up to 80 but last I read only 10 or so of those are homes. The acreage burned has topped 97,000 (compare that to Lake Tahoe at 120,000 acres). Mopping up and plans for re-forestation and flood control will continue.
I also want to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone out in dA-land for helping me to reach an unexpected milestone of over 10
