I saw two of these white morph Reddish Egrets while helping to lead an Audubon birding trip at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge in Florida. The white morph is much less common than the dark morph and I was happy to see one this close. The bill turns this beautiful two-tone color during breeding season and is mostly dark the rest of the year.

One photo that has been high on my bucket list was a snowy Yosemite photo. Willie and I have been keeping an eye on the recent storms in the Eastern Sierras and a *huge* one hit over Christmas weekend, dropping over 7 feet of snow in one day in some areas! I rented a 4 wheel drive vehicle and Willie, Alan, my girlfriend and I drove into Yosemite just as the storm cleared.
We arrived at Yosemite to see the entire place covered in white! It was insanely gorgeous. The storm had moved out a bit quicker than we had hoped and we arrived late, to clear skies. As we looked west we saw another set of clouds coming in and we hoped we might be in luck! After scouting several locations we decided that Ansel Adams had it right and we found our way over to Tunnel View for sunset. We were not disappointed! Some low fog rolled into the valley, the trees stayed covered in white, and a slit of light made its way onto El Capitan for a beautiful view!
To my surprise, my favorite image from the day happened to be one I had not expected at all. An almost full-moon rose just after the sun set, right during blue hour, and everyone raced around to capture the moon rising over Half Dome. I threw on my 80-200mm lens until Alan mentioned, "hey, try going wide." By this point I was cold, tired, and ready to get home before the roads turned awful so I fired 1 quick shot, packed up my bags and went to warm up in the car. When I got home I realized how right Alan was ... I liked this shot more than all my others!
In the end we spent twice as much time driving as we did in Yosemite but it was well worth it!

1 of 52 Speed - Going to use this one for my 52 week project - both the dogs are having so much fun as you can see - speeding towards me :-) got good treats in my pocket :-)
I love it when I'm out shooting and something like this happens.

Mother nature creates awe-inspiring masterpieces and very often just around the corner if one has an eye for it. Beauty of nature - ice flowers on a car window.
Looks like Winter, right? But the fern frost was actually taken on 2nd of April, Denver, Colorado.
Much better in Large On Black to see the details.

Part of the Orion Molecular Cloud, an immense star forming region very close to earth, The Flame and Horsehead Nebulas offer a glimpse into the process from which stars and their planets are created. The colorfully lit areas are being irradiated by the young stars which have formed in the recent past and as a result, the ionized hydrogen in the clouds glows. The dark regions, on the other hand, are areas of dusty material in the interstellar medium dense enough to obscure the glow from behind. The Horsehead is such an object and from our vantage point on Earth, it bears a striking resemblance to the head of a horse.
The bright blue star just above The Flame Nebula is the easternmost star in Orion's belt, Alnitak, also known as Zeta Orionis. It is a "blue super-giant" and the brightest such star in the night sky.
Although it appears as a single object it is actually a triple-star (three stars in orbit around each other).
Zeta Orionis is responsible for the glow of the Flame Nebula; it glows so intensely in the ultra-violet range that even at a distance of a hundred light-years, the hydrogen in the cloud becomes ionized like neon in a sign. This radiation is also speeding the development of new stars as the pressure from the radiation further compresses the material. When the density of the material becomes great enough, gravity takes over and collapses the gas into a single object where temperature and pressure increase so dramatically that hydrogen atoms are fused into helium and a new star is born.

From my sons I've got a GPS tagger as Christmas present. Since 2 years I wanted to buy one but I never knew which one I should take. Therefore I'm really happy about this gift!
These days I have tested the tagger and have tried it first in my neighborhood in the late afternoon. The tagger works very well and is easy to handle.
I've taken the shot above during this test walk ... nothing spectacular but I like it somehow and on the left you can see my beloved walnut tree.

It took about twenty minutes in the middle of the night to set up in the middle of a wintery pool, wellies full of water by the end of it. Five minutes later my flash, which I'd brought out solely to test, stopped working... If anyone knows about fixing Metz flashes, please message me! It still makes noises, and the button glows, it just doesn't flash. In this case "two out of three ain't bad" ceases to apply.
Anyway, having set up I figured I'd just trying gelling my flashlight/torch instead, and ended up with a shot I'm happy with and some neat lessons around lighting a scene.
Lighting is from a Lenser MT7 flashlight - first with a turquoise gel beneath the water (in a zip lock freezer bag), then with an amber gel aimed along the wall from the right, and vertically down on the scene from the top of the wall. I've included a flat white lit shot of the scene in the comments so you can see how it transformed things - without the lighting, this was pitch black bar a tiny sliver of moonlight on grey rock and brown water.
More to follow from the location in future. Hope every one is having an amazing Christmas/holiday run.

Architect: Aron Johansson
Built in: 1897-1905
Client: Sveriges Riksbank and Riksdagen
The Parliament House, Riksdagshuset, is the seat of The Parliament of Sweden and located on Helgeandsholmen in central Stockholm.
The building was designed by Architect Aron Johansson and built between 1897 and 1905. When it was opened it replaced the old Parliament House on Riddarholmen. The building was originally constructed to house both The Parliament and The Swedish National Bank.
In 1971 it was decided that the bank part of the building was to be rebuilt into a new assembly hall for The Parliament. An architectural competition was won by the architectural firm Ahlgren-Olsson-Silow Arkitekter AB. The largest outwardly visible change was the copper-clad body of the old National Bank with the new chamber. The rebuilt building was inaugurated in October 1983.
Mi amiga Julia ( www.flickr.com/photos/juliatedesco_rauch_argentina/ ) me comenta más adelante lo siguiente:
Jabi, magnífica captura; ha sido un gran éxito tu intento de contrariar las inexorables agujas del reloj paralizándolo en este bello paisaje.
En cuanto al plano de expresión, tu técnica y creatividad nos permite revivir ese instante, en el cual los rayos de sol son una esperanza de calidez en el frío, y dan fuerza a la escena.
Muy buen ángulo de toma. Impresiona la magnitud.
Excelente equilibrio compositivo.
The morning of this sunrise was hot and humid; in the 90s even before the sun rose. Despite the oppressive conditions, we managed to get some beautiful shots of the sun coming up over the lake.

Chamonix is dominated by the white majestic dome of Mont Blanc, at 4,810m the highest mountain in western Europe.
Every year the summit of Mont Blanc becomes the ultimate objective for mountaineers the world over, all striving to stand on top of the roof of Europe and look down on all of the major summits of the Alps.
To climb Mont Blanc from Chamonix, people normally chose one of the two most common routes. Slightly more technical, the route from the Aiguille du Midi, over Mont Blanc du Tacul and Mont Maudit is generally quieter, and highly dependent on conditions.
The slightly easier and more reliable option is via the Tramway du Mont Blanc to the Nid d'Aigle, then up the Aiguille du Gouter and the Bosse ridge.
While not technically challenging, ascending Mont Blanc requires a high level of physical fitness and experience using crampons and an ice axe.

The Pinnacles - Phillip Island
How I captured this panoramic.
CAMERA Nikon D800
LENS Schneider PC TS Super-Angulon 50mm f/2.8
FILTERS 1.2 Soft Grad and 1.2 ND

Having been to this location several times with poor results, I was determined to come away with the perfect panoramic. The ocean was pounding the headland and was kicking up a lot a sea spray making it very difficult to get a set of frames before having to clean my filters but was also creating an amazing atmosphere. I decided to shield myself from the spray and spent the next 20 minutes switching from west to east and found that the combination of sea spray and sunlight looking towards the Pinnacles was creating a stunning three dimensional effect. Getting down low and shifting my Schneider up I captured the perfect set of frames for this panoramic. After a quick stitch on my Mac Air and a little work in Photoshop I was happy with the final result.
While walking on the glacier, In that ice cleft, I could cleary see a figure.

Pareidolia (pron.: /pærɨˈdoʊliə/ parr-i-doh-lee-ə) is a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant. Common examples include seeing images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon or the Moon rabbit, and hearing hidden messages on records when played in reverse.

Vuelvo / quiero creer que estoy volviendo
con mi peor y mi mejor historia
conozco este camino de memoria
pero igual me sorprendo
hay tanto siempre que no llega nunca
tanta osadía tanta paz dispersa
tanta luz que era sombra y viceversa
y tanta vida trunca...
vuelvo y pido perdón por la tardanza.
I come back / I want to believe that I am coming back with my worst and my best story I know this path by heart but I still be surprised there is so much when ever comes so bold peace scatters so much light that it was shadow and vice versa and so much life truncates...I come back and apologize for the delay

Questa è la leggenda più affascinante sul girasole...
"Clizia era una giovane ninfa, innamorata persa del Sole, pertanto lo seguiva tutto il giorno mentre lui guidava il suo carro di fuoco per tutto l'arco del cielo. Il sole, dapprima fu lusingato e un pochino intenerito da quella devozione... credette di esserne a sua volta innamorato e decise di sedurla cosa non difficile per lui!
Ma ben presto il Sole si stancò dell'amore di Clizia e le diede, come suol dirsi... il benservito rivolgendo altrove le sue attenzioni.
La povera ninfa pianse ininterrottamente per nove giorni interi. Immobile in mezzo a un campo, osservava il suo amore attraversare il cielo sul suo carro di fuoco.
Così, pian piano, il suo corpo si irrigidì, trasformandosi in uno stelo sottile ma resistente, i suoi piedi si conficcarono nella terra mentre i suoi capelli diventarono una gialla corolla; si era trasformata in un fiore bellissimo color dell'oro... Il girasole...
Ma anche nella sua nuova forma la piccola ninfa innamorata continua tuttora a seguire il suo amore durante il giro nel cielo".

If I held in my hand
Every grain of sand
Since time first began to be
Still, I could never count
Measure the amount
Of all the things you are to me
If I could paint the sky
Hang it out to dry
I would want the sky to be
Oh, such a grand design
An everlasting sign
Of all the things you are to me
You are the sun
That comes on summer winds
You are the falling year
That autumn brings
You are the wonder and the mystery
In everything I see
The things you are to me
Sometimes I wake at night
And suddenly take fright
You might be just fantasy
But then you reach for me
And once again I see
All the things you are to me
You are the sun
That comes on summer winds
You are the falling year
That autumn brings
You are the wonder and the mystery
In everything I see
The things you are to me
All the things you are… to me
