Boscastle is a tiny port with a natural harbour, set in a narrow ravine, and boasts some very attractive cottages. Before the railways, Boscastle was a thriving port, serving much of North Cornwall. It has come to prominence more recently as a result of the terrible floods of summer 2004.
The village was once a favourite haunt of author, Thomas Hardy, and the setting for one of his novels, A Pair of Blue Eyes. It was here that he met his wife, Emma. In fact, the restoration of nearby St Juliot Church was worked upon by Hardy when he was still a practising architect.
So many treasures, so little time...
Walking through a fog filled forest, feeling the dew on my face, the ferns at my feet and the smell of wet earth.

The rocks in the foreground have been toned down, as they came out really bright green!
"The woods are never solitary--they are full of whispering, beckoning, friendly life."
- Lucy Maud Montgomery
Come to us - the trees beckoned. We will grant you the disquiet you seek. We will bestow upon you darkness, dampness and the most fragrant moss. You shall find safety here beyond your dreams. Enter and divulge your darkest fears and desires. There is place for them here. Come and stay with us, before fear consumes you ... forevermore.

Mormon pioneer John Moulton built this wooden barn in the Jackson Hole valley sometime between 1911 and 1913.
It was later acquired by the Rockefeller family and became part of Grand Teton National Park in the early 1960's. At one time the Park Service was considering tearing it down as an eyesore, until some local photographers petitioned to save it.
It has been called the "most photographed barn" in the United States....and no matter how many times I visit the area, it always beckons me back.

I feel like this could be my first perfect photo. Not best, prettiest, or most appealing, but the first in memory where I wouldn’t change a thing; the end result perfectly matches the previsualized intent. That’s a very strange feeling for me. Jay Maisel said that if we’re not our own harshest critic we’re our own worst enemy, and my attitude has been along those lines for many years; I’m always aware of the weaknesses, flaws, oversights, almosts. But in this moment I actually created exactly what I wanted, for whatever that’s worth. So I can’t help but love it I guess, but also I can already feel myself starting to hate it: Why this one? All the photos I love but wish were just a little better in some way, so why this one? (There is a hot pixel I’d like to remove though.)
Beckoning off to the side (explore another time?) I saw a path to a small waterfall tumbling down a boulder-strewn stream bank, my last look at this truly scenic area; from here, driving the Oscar Wigington Memorial Highway (State Rd S-37-413) in Sumter National Forest, we continued to Whitewater Falls Road (SC-130), crossed over the border from South Carolina into North Carolina (NC-281), and passed Whitewater Falls Lane [35.027789, -83.017671] with its scenic Upper Whitewater Falls Trail Access, on our way to the Rosman Highway (US-64), and back to Brevard
Wigington Overlook – 2021APR13 – SC Highway 413, SC:
The Oscar Wigington Scenic Byway overlook is a highlight, one of the most spectacular overlooks in South Carolina's Upstate.
We stopped as evening set in, accompanied by a light drizzle.
The best of our 848 captures are in a mini-themed album:

Metlako Falls on Eagle Creek in the Columbia River Gorge is an illusive subject and on this morning the sun found purchase in the deep gorge. The steamy fog is a product of the falls this time of year.
A similar comp to one I shot back in Dec '14 (Reckoning) but this time with a nicer sky. My LEE Big Stopper is a 12 stop filter (not 10 as advertised) so that is the reason for the longer exposure. I do like the softness of the extra exposure time but it gets a bit itchy with the long wait. 10 minutes - I should have brought a book along to read!
LEE hard 0.9 ND for the sky plus the Big Stopper.

Exploring Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon in Iceland was one of my favourite experiences ever. It was a dramatically beautiful place.
Well.... I am approaching "burnout" again. I must reorganize and just post a photo, and that's that. If my photo is appreciated and invited to a group, that is wonderful, and I will go where invited, but I've got to go through my groups again and eliminate those groups that require mandatory commenting, because that is not why I am here..... Please know that If I "Fave" a photo, it means that I have viewed, studied and appreciated your photo, and I hope that is "enough".... I will also leave comments on some, time permitting. I SO treasure my FlickrFriends, and don't want to leave, but mandatory commenting is not why I am here.... I'm just here to post and share.... Thank you my friends.... :-)
Love, Jane

For reasons that I don't quite understand, this is one of my most successful images, shown at Wilmington International (one of the toughest exhibitions to get into, in my experience) and receiving an honorable mention at Georgia Southern Circuit.
This is the lovely beyond lovely Gina who is amazing even while freezing. But we already knew that. <3
This photo was taken in the freezing cold while we were stalling and trying to keep Gina out of the house so that everyone could show up for her surprise party. The surprise worked!! Woohoo!
