Hi, My name is Bill and I am updating my homepage to reflect a wonderful event in my life...marriage, September 18, 2010, to my best friend Tara...known to many of you as auntietk here on Renderosity.
We "met" shortly after I joined Renderosity in August 2008. We share a love for photography and indeed all types of art.
We live north of Seattle and enjoy getting to share photographic excursions and information with other Renderositians ( is "Renderositians" even a word? ). LOL
As for me, it seems like I've been taking pictures all my life but I didn't get serious enough to purchase my first Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera until May 2008. In May 2009 I upgraded from an Olympus E-510 to an Olympus E-30 with a wide variety of lenses.
My subject areas of interest include absolutely everything but with a frequent return to airplanes, cars, tanks, etc., ...or as Tara says, machines that make lots of noise;-)
If you are curious, I am pictured above in a Grumman Corsair on a taxiway of the Kansas City Downtown Airport. I used to fly and train others to fly airplanes. That will explain my frequent forays into the world of aviation. Last but by no means least, thanks to Pannyhb for introducing me to Renderosity. The moment I saw it I was hooked.
Fine print: Yes, the photo above is a photo manipulation:-)

Yes, well... it is non-native and considered invasive but so is our ice plant that lines the coast and valley areas here. It still serves a purpose in anchoring the land in places that need it and it also is beautiful in those places where other plants would not survive... sometimes it deserves to be honored anyway. Stunning shots.

Amazing and great photo! I can even smell the special 'air', by looking at it! Whether Broom is weed or not, it is one of my favorite plants. My husband is not amused by that. He always wants to throw them away. (He pulls them out of the ground). In his opinion, they all "stand in his way". But I always take new ones from nature (back home ;-)).

It seems to be considered a weed, even here in 'OZ'. So how do you define a weed? a) is it something that grows excessively well in an area? b) something that invades an area? c) or something that causes damage to an area? The majority of plants, flowers, shrubs, trees etc. have that in common, trust me, I live on 3 acres and nothing is safe, given the right conditions, every plant has a weed in it, unless you learn how to define & control, before it takes over. Bill guess what?...I believe Goats are useful in controlling this plant ! LOL BB p.s. thanks for sharing this colourful display.

We have similar problems here with Japanese knotweed but its not as attractive as your weeds. I am a real fan of coastline walking so its great to see more views from around the world. Fine shot!
