Sunrise from Mount Fremont lookout in Mt. Rainier National Park, WA.

Another shot from one of the most amazing sunrises I've seen. With this site and Mt. Rainier directly behind us, we couldn't ask for a more remarkable morning.

Der Niederrhein ist reich an Wiesenlandschaften, die durch Kopfweiden, Weidengebüsche und Pappelreihen das charakteristische Landschaftsbild prägen.

Thank you for visits, comments and favs!

I think so. This is a member of a free-ranging herd of several hundred Bison on Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake that share grazing there with mule deer, pronghorn antelope and bighorn sheep. Twelve American bison were introduced on the island in the late 19th century, when the species was nearly extinct. They flourished in the near ideal habitat of dry grass prairie, devoid of apex predators (excepting man) and were maintained and hunted by private ranchers. In 1981 the State of Utah completed purchase of the island to create a state park. It is one of the few publicly managed herds of American bison, and one of the largest.

Just back from a 3 week road trip from Colorado to Maine. Drove through 17 states with our camper in tow. Had a great time but didn't get to see half of what we had planned LOL. Lots of room for another trip in the future.

My first attempt with the Lee 10-stop filter. This was taken at 1pm on mostly sunny day. Fun to play around with.

This pic was taken in the beautiful town of Hallstatt, Austria. And this beautiful cat followed me up the steep steps for a perfect background photograph. 📷😻The cable car line sort of distracts but it's SUPER rare to get an animal to sit for Such a wonderful winter background setting...

A woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. 21981
