She has a website at <a href="http://flowersbyb.com/">here</a> and wanted to add new photos of some of her recent designs. <br />
<br />
Binaifer has trained at the <a href="http://www.judithblacklock.com/">Judith Blacklock Flower School</a> in London, and is a contributing writer for Blacklock’s <em><a href="http://www.judithblacklock.com/wordpress/the-flower-arranger-magazine/">The Flower Arranger</a> </em>magazine.
In 2009, Binaifer was selected as one of 12 semi-finalists for Chief
Flower Designer for the Obama White House. She is based in Falls
Church, Virginia and provides flower designs to clients throughout
the Washington, DC metropolitan area.<br />
<br />
This was a challenging assignment but I think the results speak for themselves.<br />
<br />
You can contact Binaifer (pronounced "Bin-EYE-fer") by email here: binaifer at aol dot com (note that I no longer post actual email addresses because nowadays "webbots" scan everything on the web looking for emails in the typical "name@domain.com" format for spamming purposes.)<br />

Robert, owner of San Juan Bike Rentals (<a href="http://sanjuanbikerental.com/">http://sanjuanbikerental.com/</a>), has a great little business going where he delivers bikes, helmets, locks and a handlebar bag direct to your hotel/condo building. If you remember, last year I rented a rusty old clunker for this ride, but Robert's bike was a nearly new ProdecoTec X3 V3 mountain bike. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Upon arrival on the island, as you disembark from your aircraft, you can't wait to peel away the sweaters and long sleeves of the colder northern climes to adjust to the sudden rush of warm humid air in the jetway and the blazing sunlight of a tropical afternoon. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ah, Puerto Rico, my heart's devotion...two weeks to unwind, reinvigorate, and explore the sights and sounds and tastes, both old and new.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The image above is the view from our balcony room over Isla Verde Beach. The following images are a collection from our first few days.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We had a bit of an adventure this evening in this first snow. Carole slid sideways down the first hill coming down Whispering Lane earlier this evening before coming to a perpendicular stop across the road. Other cars did the same but thankfully did not hit her. I came to the rescue and inched the car safely over to Oakwood but facing the wrong direction next to a curb. Will have to retrieve the car once the streets are safe to drive on. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
Cars coming down Jay Miller were sliding all over, too. We met a new neighbor from Tallwood who had to leave her car in front of our house because of icy conditions.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, the first snow was pretty looking out our door once safely home. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
Drive in your low gears and avoid quick changes if you need to be out there early, and you should stay safe.</span></div>

Barges and kayaks, hydrocycles and bass boats, I saw them all.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I took the kayak out for a last look at our fall colors and shot these photographs for everyone's enjoyment. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Let's hope winter stays away as long as possible.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope you will take a moment to look at it and let your friends and colleagues know about my work. I'm taking assignments for the fall to help realtors, agents, builders, interior decorators, stagers, kitchen and bath designers, and remodelers reach more customers and display new listings, new construction, remodeling projects and more through Dazzling Property Photography.</span><br />

But they were out there finally.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Here are the results: green heron capturing dragonflies, beaver, great blue heron, kayakers on the lake, barn swallow, sunrise clouds, morning moon over the lake, and more.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I observed all manner of flying things and even one creepy crawly thing.</span><br />

The home is pictured above, but <i>there was no electricity (thus no lights) in the house for the shoot!</i> The owner lived next door and came by after the agent called to tell him I was there ready to shoot. I think Dominion had not transferred the account when they should have. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In any case, I said I would take on the challenge to see if I could still get good photos with no lights in any room. Fortunately, there were windows all over, and I think that made the difference. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I really liked this house in the trees.</span><br />

Here's a link to a set of photos I just shot for an agent selling this condo in DC for $875,000. </span><br />

I originally did these and others in color for the client, but on reviewing them, I worked on a technique I call "modified monochrome." Here are some samples of this technique. Share with your friends who may like my unique style for their children's portraits.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you remember, last year the frozen lake was beautiful and smooth as glass. Example:</span><div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This year, because of the multiple snows and melts, the lake, although frozen, didn't have that gorgeous shimmer of solid ice. Nevertheless, I did shoot a few images that captured the lake with all that snow on top of the ice. Here are a few of my favorites, below.</span></div>

I did a study of him in photographs, below. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">He's quite a large bird. According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology website, "</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">the Pileated Woodpecker is one of the biggest, most striking forest birds on the continent. It’s nearly the size of a crow, black with bold white stripes down the neck and a flaming-red crest. Look (and listen) for Pileated Woodpeckers whacking at dead trees and fallen logs in search of their main prey, carpenter ants, leaving unique rectangular holes in the wood. The nest holes these birds make offer crucial shelter to many species including swifts, owls, ducks, bats, and pine martens."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Pileated Woodpeckers are quite vocal, typically making a high, clear, series of piping calls that lasts several seconds. The sound is quite similar to a Northern Flicker’s rattling call, although it tends to be more resonant and less even in tone, with changing emphasis or rhythm during the call. Pileated Woodpeckers also give shorter calls that sound like <i>wuk, wuk</i>or <i>cuk, cuk</i> to indicate a territory boundary or to give an alarm. Listen to sound samples here: </span></div>

I couldn't tell who was harassing who, but I was only able to capture the starling.</span><br /></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

These are the results. Photographed with a Canon 5D Mark III with 17-40mm f4 L lens. On a tripod of course.</span><br />
