Dry Gulch Hiking Trails-Wenatchee, Washington
So much area to hike with so few people to encounter. This is just at the edge of our beautiful valley.
Lovely, but strange, alien and perhaps somewhat exotic, red shapes that seem to be engaged in an elaborate dance. Captured in the intriguing city of Glasgow.
There are more pictures from Scotland – both landscapes, urban photos, castles and flowers – in the Scotland album.
Here is one of the captures from my recent trip to Ricketts Glen, PA that I played with in Lightroom by reducing the saturation of color by 33%. I liked the resulting moody tones and colors. It was very green and luscious ... but this is a more subdued view allowing us to focus more on the waterfall and less on the surroundings.
The most terrifying thing about October is all of the events. I might fall over. My inventory is bonechilling.
There's a whole bunch of new stuff from Zibska, like the lovely dress at Rock Your Rack 2017, the stunning eyeshadow from The Nightmare, or more great lipstick from over at Industrie! Definitely check out the last event, a new one with lots of great minimalist and industrial inspired items. Highly recommend.
In the heart of binge watching psychological horror, enjoy this picture. <3

No! Not taken this Autumn, but a previously unposted shot from January this year. I don't normally go back in the archives too much but in tribute to the forthcoming Short Eared Owl season (and the fact it has rained or been miserable weather for at least 2 weeks) I have included a shot of my closest encounter to date with a perched bird.
I had spent a few hours at the site when one of the group decided they needed to go home. As this owl was perched on a post which they would have to walk past I decided to go along too and see how far we got before it flew off. Foolishly didn't take my tripod so had to struggle hand holding the 600mm - but I think the fact he/she didn't fly until we were quite close gave me extra strength.
Taken during the golden hour.
Although we do have a year round population, with some breeding in the North, numbers are swelled in the winter with migrants from Scandanavia, Russia and Iceland. I think this is one of them.
On the higher mountains the first snow has fallen, but here around this meander of river the last colors of autumn are resisting. I think it deserved a photo.
Sulle montagne più alte è caduta la prima neve, ma intorno a questo meandro del fiume resistono le ultime cromie autunnali; credo meritassero una foto.

Strange, but last picture of the series of this day was done at #Wik #castle.
It is kind of interesting story. My friend phoned me and asked if I have been there, I said no... We went to visit this amazing castle on the lake of #Ekoln.

My Lion...I Feel His Pounding Thunder and I Hear Him Roar❣
But... Lions, Tigers, Bears, Oh My!
He's a teddy bear on the inside.
I Got the Eye of the Tiger, a Fighter...
Louder than a Lion...and You're Gonna Hear Me Roar❣

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Now I'm floatin' like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee, I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero
You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (you'll hear me roar)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (yeah)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (you'll hear me roar)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You're gonna hear me roar
the mother of 2 male cubs of nearly 2 year.
Taken about 2 years ago in Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, Madhya Pradesh, India.
Especially her bigger cub was quite skittish and stayed in the forest most of the time so I have no pictures of the family together.
Actually both cubs were already bigger than their mother.

I'm not a great lover of photographing captive birds but as I have never seen one in the wild I thought I would make the most of the opportunity.
On the way back from the lake yesterday....and look closely...there really is a fence, off to the right. You may have to squint! And for those of you who read these things, my iPhone Flickr app has gone completely crazy!! Forgive me if my responses are short or jumbled...but don't blame me! Hopefully, they will get things worked out!
Cloudy but dry start to the last month of 2021 in Vancouver
I captured this image of this majestic mountain which lies in Washington State, USA right from my home, 100+km away, in Vancouver, Canada,
Mount Baker[...] is one of the snowiest places in the world; in 1999, Mount Baker Ski Area [...] set the world record for recorded snowfall in a single season—1,140 in (2,900 cm).
At 10,781 ft (3,286 m), it is the third-highest mountain in Washington State[...]. It is visible from much of Greater Victoria, Nanaimo, British Columbia, Greater Vancouver, and, to the south, from Seattle (and on clear days Tacoma) in Washington.
I think it must be Aikos hair that was stuck on this little ice heads face - giving us a smile
Saying Brrrr, it's cold outside, the wind is arctic and very cold
But it's Monday and who can't smile when we have new pages to make in our life book, new experiences, new people to meet, new food to taste
And not to mention another week has gone and I'm closing in to someone coming home, for every Monday that goes
I just love Mondays
………But there was no show - Spiderman was obviously off on the World wide Web somewhere! Just have to make do with boring old Moths then, who for some reason seem to fly off when Batty Bat comes out to play!! For the interested I created this Spooky Tabletop shot by simply Bluetac'ing a wobbly translucent toy bat on to my Mac screen, whilst displaying a Web shot I took at Tarn Hows (Cumbria) and ‘Click’ this ‘Spooky Night’ shot was taken! The eyes were added using the Radial Filter tools in Lightroom 6. Don’t be too frightened and do have a Happy Smile On Saturday folks. Alan:-) HSoS…….
For the interested I’m growing my Shutterstock catalogue regularly here, now sold 97 images :- www.shutterstock.com/g/Alan+Foster?rid=223484589&utm_...

No, I know it isn't the Mersey but Dartmouth I believe..but I that song always come into my head when i see this shot. Plus Hoseasons are bombarding my inbox with what they call tail wagging holidays lol... it is looking increasingly hopeful that we may be able to take a holiday in this country soon but the constant Jet 2 hits on my mailbox are getting the delete button as fast as they come in. No way am I going to breathe in recirculated air or packed into a flying sardine tin. Devon and Cornwall and the Lake district ect are going to be rammed though - so will someone put a word in for me if they know Richard Branson so I get an invite to Necker Island ? My son said he will look after our dogs if we do get an invite..........
The beautiful town of Dartmouth situated on the mouth of the River Dart is one of South Devon’s most popular and enchanting towns. With its charming historic streets, scenic river location and surrounded by South Devon countryside you have to go a long way to find a town as pretty.
Set opposite the town of Dartmouth, Kingswear is a charming character village that has some of the most beautiful views across the River Dart.
Set on the banks of the River Dart, Kingswear village is well worth a visit or a stay to take full advantage of the beautiful South Devon countryside.

...but I think it's a wild artichoke.

I had originally intended to call this photo "natural vs artificial light" but the mood of this image made me think of the Linkin Park song.
5 years ago Chester Bennington passed away, this is also my modest way of paying tribute to him
Sorry but I was so childishly pleased to photograph this bird that I have posted another image of him I was lucky to find this Wryneck again and improve on my last nights images After a couple of hours looking , Out he popped and I had a great 1/2 hour taking photos as he fed in front of me . Wrynecks feed mostly on Ants and unlike other woodpeckers they are seen mainly on the ground, They are Scarce in the UK .
Forgive me if I am only replying sporadically at the moment.
I am not ghosting anyone.
There is no intention like that. .
I have a lot of pictures here, yes, but that's just to prove to myself that I'm there.
Because that's not how I feel right now.
I don't feel present in myself.
I don't feel present in my life.
The photo wasn't planned but it works well for this week's Happy Caturday theme "Brushing or Petting" and so I post two cat photos today. There aren't many hands which Tofu accepts on his fur. The one in this photo belongs to my nephew Hendrik who at the moment lives in the room behind this window. Cats generally like Hendrik a lot and they all appear on his windowsill quite often. :) Happy Caturday !
I’m on a quest to photograph the covered bridges in Connecticut. Figured it had to be a few in my part of the state and sure enough this one is really not very far from where I grew up. None of us knew it existed until Google gave us the location. Probably no more than 15 minutes from my parents house. Can’t wait to photograph it with snow.
October 26, 2018: Looking back now, I never would’ve thought I’d see this bridge without a train on it, let alone the track being removed less than 2 years later. R. Curtis and I were regular on these CP&L trains and loved every minute of it. Nothing like having the whole railroad (Skyland Subdivision) to yourself and working with one of your best friends; like a well oiled machine. Such wasn’t the case with UP SD70M 5176 if I remember, it rained all day and of course I didn’t have sand. But we paused here this day to take a little lunch break as we did often after spotting the 2nd cut of coal, to enjoy the fall colors on Lake Julian, and watch the fish swim around the bridge. I’m glad I grabbed this shot, You never know what life has in store. Skyland is just one of many rail served plants to be closed; sad beginning of the end for “steam coal”.

right before sunset we found a pride of 18 lions at the edge of the western sector of the Serengeti.
This is the largest of the 2 big males that rule this pride and there were also quite a number of young cubs in this pride.
This is a different pride than the previous lion posts of the western corridor. As mentioned with these posts we saw that other pride with 18 lions 4 or 5 times but there was never an adult male present.

but nice and warm inside.
As I walked through the passageway between two buildings, I had to put on the brakes and dig out my camera. I always appreciate lines and angles.
