Like North Falls further upstream, Middle North Falls has certain characteristics which one could argue give it an edge when comparing it to the park's main attraction, South Falls. Despite being considerably shorter, Middle North Falls is a markedly amorphous waterfall which changes physical shape in a very dramatic way as the volume of water in North Silver Creek changes. The 106 foot tall falls take the form of a narrow column of water during the summer months, funneled to perhaps 5 feet wide at most by a narrow runnel in the bedrock. With greater stream flow in the winter and spring months however, North Silver Creek sheets out across the 60-foot wide creek bed and turns the falls into a broad curtain of water, with part of the falls impacting on a twisting chute of basalt which then slides to join the more volumnous half of the creek in the plunge pool.
Middle North Falls is one of four waterfalls in Silver Falls State Park which features a trail which traverses behind the falling water. Unlike the other three, the trail leading behind Middle North Falls is a dead-end, constructed purely to allow access to additional views of the falls.

Valle de Pineta, Parque nacional de Ordesa y Monte Perdido, Sobrarbe, Huesca, Aragón, España.
El Valle de Pineta, forma parte del Parque Natural de Ordesa y Monte Perdido en la comarca de Sobrarbe. Un valle muy sobrecogedor por las altas y escarpadas montañas que se formaron como consecuencia del arrastre de desechos como producto del deshielo, esto mismo hace que el valle tenga la forma de U. Su paisaje cautiva por la frondosidad de sus bosques y prados, junto a ellos sobresalen las espectaculares caídas de agua que bajan de lo alto de la montañas.
Gracias a sus elevaciones resulta ser el lugar ideal para practicar deportes de alta montaña. En su cresta sur se observa una sección de picos que superan los 2.500 metros de altura, hacia el extremo sur sobresale un trío de picos conocidos como las tres Marías. Siguiendo hacia la cresta norte el terreno se vuelve menos escarpado.
El valle de Pineta se cierra en una pared bastante escarpada, en su parte alta de donde proceden las caídas de agua se encuentra el circo y el balcón de Pineta. Quienes han logrado subir hasta el Balcón de Pineta no pueden marcharse del sitio sin conocer el ibón de Marboré. Un sitio que ofrece las mejores panorámicas del Glaciar de Monte Perdido, ubicado entre Monte Perdido y Cilindro.
El circo de Pineta es una de las vistas más hermosas del valle. Hay que resaltar que el valle de Pineta es uno de los puntos más accesibles del Parque Natural de Ordesa y Monte Perdido gracias a la carretera que permite acceder hasta el fondo del valle
The Pineta Valley is part of the Ordesa y Monte Perdido Natural Park in the Sobrarbe region. A very overwhelming valley due to the high and steep mountains that were formed as a result of the dragging of waste as a product of the thaw, this itself makes the valley have the shape of a U. Its landscape captivates by the lushness of its forests and meadows, along with they stand out the spectacular waterfalls that come down from the top of the mountains.
Thanks to its elevations it turns out to be the ideal place to practice high mountain sports. On its southern crest there is a section of peaks that exceed 2,500 meters in height, towards the southern end there is a trio of peaks known as the three Marías. Continuing towards the north ridge the terrain becomes less steep.
The valley of Pineta is closed in a fairly steep wall, in its upper part where the waterfalls come from is the circus and the balcony of Pineta. Those who have managed to climb to the Balcón de Pineta cannot leave the site without seeing the Marboré lake. A site that offers the best panoramic views of the Monte Perdido Glacier, located between Monte Perdido and Cilindro.
The Pineta circus is one of the most beautiful sights in the valley. It should be noted that the Pineta valley is one of the most accessible points of the Ordesa y Monte Perdido Natural Park thanks to the road that allows access to the bottom of the valley.

have yourself a merry little christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on
Your troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yule-tide gay
From now on
Your troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who I dear to us
They gather near to us once more
Through the years
We'll always be together
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
So have yourself a merry little Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Shot at Courtenay BC. Vancouver Island. At first glance this mountain looks beautiful. but look closer and you see the scars of clear cutting that the logging companies have unfortunately been allowed to continue with.
Colourful tealights which are much too beautiful to be lit. I keep telling my friends "don't give me beautiful candles" ! But they often do ....

It was so nice to see all the birds at the platform at the entrance to Colusa National Wildlife Refuge. There were birds everywhere and we were excited to get this pair of Ross’s Geese flying high together.
Both Ross’s and Snow Geese have seen population explosions as climate change has warmed their arctic breeding grounds, reducing snow cover and increasing plant growth. The two species seem to be hybridizing more frequently as warming allows their breeding ranges to come into contact.
Quand on est à Lauterbrunnen, une autre excursion "indispensable" est bien "Jungfraujoch Top of Europe". Pour cela, il faut prendre deux trains : de Lauterbrunnen à Kleine Scheidegg, puis de Kleine Scheidegg à Jungfraujoch.
Quand vous sortez du train, vous êtes tombez directement en hiver. La neige est encore intacte même à mi-août. Le spectacle est une fois de plus grandiose. Plusieurs randonnées s'offrent à vous. Mais personnellement, mes genoux ne m'ont pas permis de marcher sur la neige :( Quel regret ! :(((
When you are in Lauterbrunnen, another "essential" excursion is "Jungfraujoch Top of Europe". To do this, you have to take two trains: from Lauterbrunnen to Kleine Scheidegg, then from Kleine Scheidegg to Jungfraujoch.
When you get off the train, you have fallen straight into winter. The snow is still intact even in mid-August. The spectacle is once again awe-inspiring. Several hikes are available to you. But personally, my knees did not allow me to walk on the snow :( What a regret!: (((
Hard to image that using a tripod to take a photo of this fountain would be a problem, but yes it was... I was told I could not use it by a security gaurd because it was on private property. Oh well... I just walked out into the street (no traffic whatsoever) and took the photo from there!

I bought this bee themed water jug from a craft potter called Berber Dister based in the idyllic village of Cromarty on the Black Isle just north of Inverness. The artist had made her mark on the base and I'm hoping that one day it will rival Clarise Cliff's work for value. We are allow dreams.
Have a great Saturday SOS friends.
“Never say that you can't do something, or that something seems impossible, or that something can't be done, no matter how discouraging or harrowing it may be; human beings are limited only by what we allow ourselves to be limited by: our own minds. We are each the masters of our own reality; when we become self-aware to this: absolutely anything in the world is possible.
Master yourself, and become king of the world around you. Let no odds, chastisement, exile, doubt, fear, or ANY mental virii prevent you from accomplishing your dreams. Never be a victim of life; be it's conqueror.”

I can't stop allowing myself to go back to Smithville to capture this tree. I love to photograph it in all the seasons and one important thing I have learned is to never take it for granted. I had a very special tree in the Smithville Lake area that was taken down without notice and I regret not photographing it more. I guess this can apply to many things in life (family, friends, etc). So here I am, early in the morning mesmerized by the shape of the extended branches along the country fence line and the glow of the sky. I ended up blurring out the grass to give the sole focus on the this magnificent living specimen. I am just awed by the shapes here as if it were drawn on the page.
Oh love, please hold on a little more
I am the kind of person
who dives into love too easily.
please hang in there a little bit more.
My dear
why is your gaze fixed on the rim of me?
My dear
why your voice
comes into my mind
without any warning?
Why does it bring me such sorrow?
Gathering all the pieces of the moments
that are disappearing.
Please allow me to find
the moments that I can return to.
Gathering all the love
that is disappearing.
Please allow me to find the love
so I can go onto.
My dear
why your presence
makes me feel so small
that I'm in unbareable pain.
Getting rid of all the hatred
that keep falling on me.
For the sake of my forlorn life
please allow me to love you.
I'm that kind of person who gets
torn by love too easily.
I was given strict instructions I was not allowed to stand on the rocks at all to take images. The tide was coming in and huge waves were crashing through the cavern and over the rocks. You wouldn't know it from this long exposure though.
This image was taken from a ledge on the side of the rock-face. The sea spray was so bad that I only got few usable images.
Note to self. When it is that wild and windy, it really isn't worth the effort. Try as I might I could not get the filters clean between images.
I am starting my field survey season and already have way too much work. I will be cutting back posting and commenting to a few times a week to try to manage my time. In the words fellow photographer Leon-"please don't desert me'!
I traveled on Tonle Sap in a very “basic” boat, and was fortunate to find a local boatman, who was able to take me close to shore and “beach” the boat several times so I could see life there as it really was. The family living here supplemented their income by raising pigs seen center foreground. Some were kept in very small crates, others allowed to walk freely in the space between houses. Some of the crates were constructed so they would float tethered to the main home when the lake waters rose to the level of the houses. Because of the change in water levels as the water flows in and out of the Mekong, the houses on the lake are built on stilts to allow for the 8-9 meter rise in the water level during the rainy season.
The cardinals were already visiting when I placed peanuts at the palm stump. Normally they wait for me to go on about my business before heading over to partake in a peanut treat. This guy surprised and delighted me. I watched as he started working his way toward the stump. I was only about ten feet away when he decided to come on down and get a peanut. In this image I think he looks like he is admiring the bounty before choosing just the right nut. He stayed long enough to eat two peanuts before carrying a third one to a branch in oak tree one. I felt very privileged to be allowed to point the camera in his direction and take a couple of shots while standing so close.
I hope everyone has a delightful weekend, happy snapping.

The robin is one of the most familiar birds of the UK, regularly visiting gardens. Robins are also common in parks, scrub and woodland, making their presence known with a loud, territorial song. They sing from prominent perches right through the winter, when both males and females hold territories; indeed, they are fiercely territorial, driving off intruders and even fighting. During the breeding season, the female is allowed into the male's territory where she sets up a nest of dead leaves, moss and hair. Nests often crop up in the oddest of places, such as plant pots, old wellies and shelves, but Ivy and other shrubs are their natural choice. Robins have been associated with Christmas ever since Victorian times; Victorian postmen, who were known as 'Robin Red-breasts' because of their red waistcoats, are thought to be the inspiration for so many robins appearing on our Christmas cards. Whether it's the case or not, robins certainly make themselves known in winter with their loud, aggressive song!
This little lovely is one of four Carolina wrens that have been gifted my yard as their territory by their parents. As usual, the parents raised several broods in the yard this year. Once the last brood was old enough to be independent, the parents moved on.
These little wrens are more friendly than their parents were, they come very close to me when I am in the yard and they allow me to approach them as well. If it ends up that there are two pair, perhaps both pair will nest in the yard. That has happened before. They chose different sides of the house of course, still it was nice to have so many year-round and all of the extra activity during nesting season.
Enjoy your day and happy snapping.
remember how it used to be
when the sun would fill up the sky
remember how we used to feel
those days would never end
those days would never end
remember how it used to be
when the stars would fill the sky
remember how we used to dream
those nights would never end
those nights would never end
it was the sweetness of your skin
it was the hope of all we might have been
that fills me with the hope to wish
impossible things
but now the sun shines cold
and all the sky is grey
the stars are dimmed by clouds and tears
and all i wish
is gone away
all i wish
is gone away
all i wish
is gone away

The first wave of the storm arrived in the wee hours of the morning with thunder, snow squalls, and continued high winds. The snow covered all except the steepest rock faces and the areas protected by the overhang of White Rim Sandstone. A layer of ice coated many of the rock surfaces as the snow melted initially and then froze. A brief respite in the storm with a few breaks in the clouds after sunrise allowed a view toward the Maze District of Canyonlands NP, including Ekker Butte in the center of the frame.
Cerler, La Ribagorza, Huesca, Aragón, España.
Ruta de las tres cascadas de Ardonés
La cascada de Ardonés, también conocida como cascada del Bom, es uno de los rincones más bonitos del entorno de Cerler. Su proximidad, fácil acceso y belleza, hacen de este lugar parada prácticamente obligatoria para todos los que visiten esta zona.
Desde Cerler tomamos la carretera en dirección a la Estación de Cerler. Cuando llevamos aproximadamente unos 4,5 kilómetros recorridos llegamos hasta el cruce de la carretera con el barranco del Ampriu, que es salvado por un pequeño puente. Siguiendo por la carretera unos 600 metros más adelante llegamos a una curva muy cerrada con una pequeña explanada a su izquierda, desde la cual parte un camino o pista el cual tomaremos. Podemos dejar el coche en este punto y continuar a pie por la pista durante 1 kilómetro (10-15 minutos) o bién seguir en coche hasta el final de la misma donde lo estacionaremos para seguir a pié por una senda que parte a nuestra derecha y que en unos 600 metros (5-10 minutos) nos dejará a los piés de la cascada.
A los pies de la cascada existe un pequeño puente el cual, si no baja mucho caudal por el barranco, podremos atravesar y continuar por la senda que discurre por la cara opuesta del barranco y que más adelante atraviesa el Barranco del Clotet. Desde este punto podemos regresar por donde hemos venido o bien continuar por esta senda hasta alcanzar más adelante otro sendero que desciende hasta el fondo del barranco de Ardones, donde existe un pequeño puente que nos permitirá cruzar el barranco y continuar por la senda que termina en el final de la pista por la que hemos venido completando así un pequeño recorrido circular de aproximadamente 1,5 km en unos 25 minutos. Desde aquí regresaremos a pié por la pista hasta llegar a la carretera en unos 15 minutos.
Route of the Three Ardonés Waterfalls
The Ardonés waterfall, also known as the Bom waterfall, is one of the most beautiful spots in the Cerler area. Its proximity, easy access, and beauty make this a must-see for anyone visiting this area.
From Cerler, we take the road toward Cerler Station. After approximately 4.5 kilometers, we reach the intersection of the road and the Ampriu ravine, which we cross over a small bridge. Continuing along the road for about 600 meters, we reach a sharp bend with a small esplanade on the left, from which a path or track leads off, which we take. We can leave the car at this point and continue on foot along the track for 1 kilometer (10-15 minutes), or we can continue by car to the end of the track, where we will park and continue on foot along a path that branches off to our right and, in about 600 meters (5-10 minutes), will take us to the foot of the waterfall.
At the foot of the waterfall, there is a small bridge. If the water level in the ravine is low, we can cross it and continue along the path that runs along the opposite side of the ravine and further on crosses the Clotet Ravine. From this point, we can return the way we came or continue along this path until we reach another trail that descends to the bottom of the Ardones Ravine. There is a small bridge that allows us to cross the ravine and continue along the path that ends at the end of the track we have been following, completing a short circular route of approximately 1.5 km in about 25 minutes. From here we will walk back along the track until we reach the road in about 15 minutes.
When Tofu was sick he had to stay indoors for weeks but the weather wasn't great at the time anyway. Now it is sunny and he is allowed to go out again and stalk THE BIRDS. Tofu is happy but I'm pretty sure that his feathered friends don't share his enthusiasm.

Covid19 Diary April 24, 2020. I have lost count of the quarantine days. I have lost count of the time that passes. I can only photograph what I can, I can only see what I am allowed. The imagination spreads over what I see, as in this shot where in addition to the wonder of Nature I see two clouds that seem to form two hands that seem to want to tell me something that something that the mood conveys: Pray!
