Breath Color, Eat Color, Feel Color, Live Color, See Color, Smell Color (American spelling) on my artistic photography website Stan G.Webb - In Retirement ©. In the spring, summer and fall I take many of my photographs / videos. My favorite time is during the Gales of November. You know that I delve into dark and deep places like the Cascadia Megaquake© which is an M8 to M10, past due and expected any day now, and Respiratory Illness©. I presently have asthma and other metabolic disorders. These things can all get quite depressing and I want you to know that I do keep them in balance with all of the beauty and light that is around us, always. I've even won some awards (i.e: Over Lynn Valley - Tsleil-Waututh Nation © ) This Nation also has many, many more Photographs - Tsleil-Waututh Nation on Instagram. The Tsleil-Waututh Nation, "The People of the Inlet." have inhabited the lands and waters of their traditional territory surrounding the Burrard Inlet in British Columbia for a very, very long time.

Four of my favorites are:

Rhododendron Rhapsody© (2017) - On the hunt for pollinators and their predators [http://stangwebb.blogspot.com/2017/06/rhododendron-rhapsody-2017-on-hunt-for.html ] While I was videotaping this I was using freehand (IE*: no tripod or Steadicam). I was focusing my attention on the middle space, between the camera lens and the flowers. I was looking for the Rhododendron pollinators and their predators. Boy, they're small and quick and I never did get any photos or video clips in

Passion Flowers at Dusk [https://stangwebb.blogspot.ca/2015/06/passion-flowers-at-dusk.html ] - You will notice that some of the photographs in this photo study are quite dim. It was getting dark and I was hoping to catch some of the night pollinators: ants, bats, moths etc. and I did not want bright light to scare them away.



* IE and e.g. are both abbreviations for Latin terms. IE stands for id est and means roughly "that is.". E.g. stands for exempli gratia, which means “for example.”
