From a few weeks ago, when it was still Autumn :)

Miss Penelope, one of our resident female Anna's Hummingbirds, sipping nectar! She is enjoying our George Davidson Crocosmia flowers.

Taken in Hillock Wood, Buckinghamshire where everything I needed all appeared at the same time, mist, sunlight and autumnal colours and simply in awe of the spectacle that faced me.

 

So, same tree as the first shot I posted from this session but taken at a different time and about 6 foot to the right as the sun had moved. Amazed at the dynamic range that was in the raw file, no hdr for this.

The ruins of Kilchurn Castle on the banks of the wonderfully named Loch Awe, Scottish Highlands. Built in the mid 15th century and in ruins by the mid 18th century.

I live in San Diego, California, so I am no stranger to spectacular Pacific sunsets. That said, I spent several years at sea with the Navy and sunsets on the open ocean are on a different plane. While this is not from the deck of a ship, it is from Two Lovers Point on Tumon Bay in Guam.

 

I don't know if there is science to back up the theory that the cloud formations are inherently different...but I can say that I certainly miss this aspect of my former career.

Looking north east on the banks of Loch Awe, I could sit here all day long, as every moment that passes offers something new to cherish

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜

And I can't fake another smile (and I can't fake)

And I can't fake like I'm alright (no smile)

Ooh, ah (ooh, ah, ooh)

And I won't say I'm feeling fine (I'm feeling fine)

After what I been through, I can't lie

Ooh, ah (ooh, ah)

Our journey most days started and ended with us driving passed Kilchurn Castle, so i thought i would take the opportunity "as it would be rude not to" to photograph it over the three days of passing!

Up flies the bouncing woodcock from the brig

Where a black quagmire quakes beneath the tread

The fieldfare chatter in the whistling thorn

And for the awe round fields and closen rove

And coy bumbarrels, twenty in a drove

Flit down the hedgerows in the frozen plain

And hang on little twigs and start again

Another image from visit to Loch Awe where the mist and light constantly changed over several hours creating different colours and mood.

Sorry, another Loch Awe image from the morning that just kept on giving.

Église Saint-Séverin. One of the less visited. but to me one of the most beautiful churches in Paris, wish I had more time to spend few hrs. as the sun changes reflects though such mesmerizing stained glass art. Spent more time just in awe at this medieval house of our lord.

There have been several eagle sightings in my neighborhood, but I was not lucky enough to see one until yesterday am. I came out of my driveway to a nearby crossroad and this one was straight ahead of me in a pecan tree. Of course, no camera in the car, but he was kind enough to wait on me to pull off this still shot and then he flew. Luckily, I had installed my telephoto and new extender the day before!!

I continue to be in awe of the beauty I saw at Ox Bow Bend in Grand Teton National Park. Here is another look at this spectacular place. This image has a wider angle and less zoom than the one I posted several weeks ago. Any way you dice it, this is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Talk about a stress reliever.

Another image from a perfect morning for photograph on Loch Awe. The conditions were constantly changing as the mist rolled in and out several times creating different moods and light. This is a panoramic stitch as the castle emerged from a particularly thick patch of mist.

I've taken a look back through my archives and have started re-visiting a few images either re-editing or processing previously untouched frames. This is one such frame of a sunrise from 2010, I hope it isn't too boring taking this action.

 

A gentle light on woodland floor,

Surely life must need of more,

To grow through leaves with trees so tall,

A long way down this light must fall,

But natures knows her plants can cope,

It’s from our feet she'll trust and hope.

I was very excited when I spotted this last week on our hike in Dundas & was able to catch the awe of forest light

There was a time when I use to go on climbs like this and never brought a camera. At a certain point in my life I decided that it wasn't fair not to share these moments of pure awe with the people that would appreciate them. I started bringing my camera with me to these plces high in the sky where at the end of the day the light reaches out for one last kiss of the earth.

To stand at the end of a glacier, to see it’s massive power, and to think of the years it’s taken for it to flow to this point…well…it’s truly awe inspiring.

If you look to the center of this shot you’ll see seagulls flying. They give you a sense of just how incredible the scale of this place is. And this was just a small section. It was overwhelmingly beautiful.

I would say that 95% of the photos taken of this post have a boat moored to it. It was out on the water that morning.

I like the grasses and the scabious growing around it and the jaunty angle it has assumed.

A view across one of the islands on Loch Awe a few miles north of Ledmore in Assynt, Scotland. This was taken late in the afternoon at the end of a superb day spent on the summit of Canisp.

A black and white, long exposure, landscape image of two strangers standing in awe in front of Skógafoss in Southern Iceland.

 

I have been working on this image for quite some time now, returning to it from day to day. I think I am finally happy with this completed edit. I don't normally do black and white landscape images but I really think this one benefits from that treatment. I hope you all like it too. :-)
