As many of you know, Camille always accompanies Otis when I let him go outside. Her deadpan look here (upper righthand corner) cracks me up.
As I briefly stopped for a distant photo of this Barred Owl I noticed lots of signs of voles in the surrounding field grass.
Thank you for viewing
As promised, I grabbed my easel and paints and headed up to Nova Scotia to capture the colors and character of the harbor towns on the North Atlantic. A beautiful sunny and calm day provided the perfect canvas for today's Street View scene.

For my new Flickr friends,
I love to investigate the world via Google Street View, and occasionally I set up my watercolor easel (figuratively) and create a Plein Air painting of a scene. I use the digital art program called DAP to create these paintings. I try to find places that are not so well known, and today's painting is definitely not well known.
"So much earth, so little time"
As we were making rounds upon London, Heathrow had just closed and we had to find another destination for a landing.
As the train rumbles by this evening ,the blue hour brighten by the pink and orange strip, gives a lasting impression.
Hoping everyone is staying heathy and safe. Have a great week everyone.
As with my scenes, sometimes new characters get birthed -- in this case, two new ones first born from death, its seems.
They don't have names yet (though I like Ceiloo for her), but wanted to share the process cause I thought it looked cool.

Here is a scene from a recent rehearsal play called Ladykillers which was originally a British Black Comedy. The cast in this play were brilliant as as there were twists and turns in the storyline. I was fortunate to be given the opportunity to get some shoots of the play.
Windy rainstorm today, I thought it would take me home like Doroty from the Wizard of Oz : )
The light went away and you don't realize you are making stupid gestures that need electricity. The noise or the silence, I do not know what has disturbed me more, perhaps neither one nor the other. I had music in my headphones and I was editing a photo ... it was like waking up in another world.
As he Walked the Halls of the Labryrinth Sanctum he was soon joined by one of his more faithful companions..A Three headed hound..A Cerberus he simply named Thrice. He was not as gigantic as the hounds that guarded realms..He was large mind you but a more stout hound ..The mage smiled and patted his heads one by one..then conjured a piece of meat..a hamhock..one of his favorite treats..A memory flashed as he fed each of Thrice's heads..How he found the beast..injured and then took him in..scared..vicious..he would lunge and lash at the mage..all trying not to harm or hurt the beast..when he found at one point ..the hound was obviously mistreated..abused..scared ..so with a desperate move The mage conjured a spell and created meat for him..offering the treat slowly..it snapped..and tried to fight if off each others heads..then the mage formed two more..for each maw..they ate and devoured..one after the other..until he could conjure no more..physically tired and his magic aura depleted..he knelt thinking it was going to be a fight..but then the beast came..and rested his heads one by one as a sign he trusted his new friend and soon to be master..the memory faded as he walked with him "You will meet the new apprentices..they will tend to you..and you will guard them..but do go easy..they cannot yet conjure your treats yet.."

Los sélknam, pueblo indígena que llevaba habitando la Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego desde aproximdamente el siglo XIV tras irrumpir desde la Patagonia continental, llamaron al lago Kakenchow que significa Agua Grande. Después se lo conocio como Lago Fagnano. Increíble lugar de nuestra tierra Argentina.

As I was heading back home last weekend the sun broke through the storm clouds on the western horizon and I was lucky enough to be going through some of the most beautiful country in Loudoun and Warren Counties of Virginia at the time. So I turned down a road and raced around until I found this lovely little farm... sometimes luck is in your favor. ;-)
as I was going back to my house after having gone out to take the horses' fly masks off of them.
I did not tinker with the color in this. This is how it looked when it was uploaded into my computer from my phone.
It was one of those somewhat strange evenings where the overall color cast was orangish/pinkish.
We had strong winds prior to this and lots of clouds and we were all concerned we would have some thunder and lightening which would not have been good since it had been, again, over 100 degrees F.
Fortunately, no strikes near us here
Sat at the top of the Hause above Ullswater watching the fading evening light move across the valley
As the title indicates - an edit of a previous image I took one sunrise at Bar Beach, NSW; Australia a few weeks ago.
I've altered the composition slightly from the original in an attempt to help the viewers eye follow the line of rocks front and back through the image - hope it works!
Have a great day and weekend!!
Thanks once again for any comments, views or favorites for this or any of my other images - always very much appreciated!!!
As the sun was going down at the Cheesering on Bodmin Moor it was obvious that bank of cloud was not going anywhere. Just thickening if anything so we just sat and waited as as I knew.. err hoped it would become wedged like a star between the land and those clouds. By this time only two other people remained sitting not far from us just watching the spectacle as we were...
I am not an experienced landscape photographer so it’s a good job I had plenty of time to choose the best options for this shot but even then I could not balance the brightness and shadows successfully to my satisfaction.
I tried hard grads, soft grads and stacked grads..no good.
This is a blend of three shots...
One for the top, one for the middle and one for the foreground rocks. Impossible without a tripod so I’m pleased I took it along.
Well Jonathan took it along actually like the gentleman he is..
The same place as the previous shot as that was my preferred composition.
The Cheesewring is a short walk (approx. 1½ km the north) across the moor. On a clear day its distinct shape can be seen from most parts of the Minions moor - standing on the edge of the Cheesewring Quarry. Its shape has been the subject of many debates; the result of weather erosion on the granite strata of the moor over many years. From the Cheesewring the views across the Cornish countryside and into Devon are nothing less than stunning on a clear day.
As I was observing this Eurasian Hummingbird Hawkmoth, it occurred to me that it could be a female, overpositing onto the Valerians. Still awaiting confirmation from iNaturalist.
As a former flagship of the Holland-America Line and cruise ship, the ss Rotterdam has sailed many oceans. It is a steamship with oil fired boilers and steam turbines.
It is one of the most famous post-war Dutch passenger ships. It experienced the last decade of transatlantic liner shipping between 1959 and the end of 2000 and was a successful cruise ship thereafter. Since 4 August 2008, the ship has been a floating attraction (guided tours, hotel-café-restaurant) at the Derde Katendrechtse Hoofd in the Maashaven in Rotterdam.
Pecos National Historic Park, New Mexico
The Pecos Valley is a crossroads of history, traversed down through the centuries by Ancestral Pueblo and Plains Indians, Spanish colonists and missionaries, Mexican, Confederate and Union armies, Santa Fe Trail settlers and adventurers, and tourists following the railroad and eventually nearby Historic Route 66.
Here at Pecos, the Park Service has preserved two historic structures symbolizing the clash of cultures from the Spanish colonial period; the ruins of the Pecos Pueblo village with their kivas and multi-story structures; and seen here in this photo, the slowly fading Spanish Mission Church from 1717.
Long before Spanish explorers entered North America, Pecos Pueblo Village was the juncture of trade between Rio Grande Valley Indians and hunting tribes of the buffalo plains. Pueblo inhabitants were middlemen, traders and consumers of the goods from different cultures on either side of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. They were economically successful and comfortable with the customs of multiple peoples.
Then throughout the 17th Century, conquistadors and settlers drastically changed their history. The Pueblo People succumbed to foreign diseases and oppression and were gradually displaced. But the presence of settlers would fade from local history as well, their descendants eventually moving on along the Santa Fe Trail. Both village and church were abandoned.
Time is reclaiming them; both are slowly fading into obscure history.

As is often the case, winter only made a brief appearance this season.
In the picture the mountain beech forest on the summit of Erbeskopf, the highest elevation in Rhineland-Palatinate (archive image in black and white conversion).
Wie so oft gab der Winter in dieser Saison nur ein kurzes Gastpiel.

All perfectly characterizing my dear loons who remain still, providing the ideal canoe companions and the perfect example of how to best utilize the lake. Here, the male shown in the morning fogs which now characterize the lake, they will stay until the first signs of ice arrive.

As the Summer winds down, there's not a whole lot of color left to enjoy. Dry leaves are already falling onto brown grass that crunches beneath your feet. But the sunflowers seem to defy the heat and lack of rain and reach for the sky with their bright, colorful faces.
As always, your faves and comments are appreciated. Constructive criticism and suggestions are especially welcome as I believe they help to make me a better photographer. Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos.

Fragile as Birch
On Est Europe and maybe around a world, people compare young beautiful girls with this tree.
But it is not as it looks like. this tree is very strong, it can't break from strongest attack of wind. Can kip very low temperature and still be beautiful as in many poems, written in classical literature, described.
True is that it is as women: look fragile and beautiful but we are strong
