When leaving the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, this brand new, uniquely designed building greets you upon exiting.
Acadia NP is broken up into three large sections. This is the easternmost -- Schoodic Peninsula. I will present not only bits of the national park, but also some towns and nature preserves.
Howe Sound, BC.
Howe Sound is a roughly triangular sound, actually a network of fjords situated immediately northwest of Vancouver.

Today is my two year Flickrversary! I joined on April 6th 2005 but spent my first year with only a couple of photos, no contacts and belonging to no groups. I can still remember the surprise I got when I discovered that a total stranger had faved several of my photos and added me as a contact :-) So here I am 500 photos and 60,000 views later:-)
A big thanks everyone, you have made Flickr my home away from home :-))
Went down to the Lake, aimed to find some icicles on tree branches after a windy night and the temperature dropped below -11C. A little disappointed since the lake water was still warm.
♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥
In the end
these things matter most:
How well did you love?
How fully did you live?
How deeply did you let go?

Another shot from the inside of the Cathedral of Lisbon. I could spend a whole day here :-) but you know what it means to travel in a group... Your photos have to be fast! That's why I don't bring a bipod with me when I'm traveling in grops. But camera shake and long exposure is no problem with the perfect image stabilization from Olympus. 1/4 s handheld.
Another attempt at converting a dusk shot to a night shot.
HSS everyone. PP info: I started with a base image from my churches set, was the 16bit tiff image without the faux sunburst. Took the exposure down, highlights up. Toned with a cyan tint, expanded the tree on the left and cloned more of the setting sun highlight out. Added the moon in from another image. Dodged areas I thought would get hit by moonlight. Added the mist. Tweaked curve and levels.
Not really an island, this unique structure sits atop the St.Petersburg Pier (its official name is "St.Pete Pier").
The Pier is a recreational tourist attraction that extends from downtown St. Petersburg into Tampa Bay. The building in the photo, complete with palm tree landscaping, houses three restaurants. It's a nice walk out, but there is also a tram that can carry weary tourists. There are also vendors and attractions on the pier. The picture shows only the East end of the pier.
For Looking Close...on Friday!'s #bee theme
i'd intended to use an archive shot for this theme, but at the last minute decided to treat myself to a morning at RHS Wisley. By far the most popular flowers with the bees were these lovely, dark salvias. I lost track of time watching them wiggle in and wiggle out again from multiple flowers.
As i'm often finding this wasn't quite the sharpest shot from the day, but i liked it because of his prominent tongue. i can almost hear her slurping (drinking noisely) away.
(Reviewing the theme before posting, i noticed that most of the gallery examples were non-real bees, but i'm pretty certain live bees are ok, too.)
I confess...I do have a bottle obsession. I love their shapes and colours and the way they look in still life shots. Purty.

A set of power lines lined up into the distance. The sky was ominous, dark and foreboding just before a very heavy thunder storm.
A continuation of my dark photography phase...
