Bantay Bay panorama taken in vertical segments with a Samsung Note 8 and pieced together in Lightroom and Photoshop. A total of about 15 pictures came together to make this image.

The Canadian Rockies foothills west of Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Nothing like Autumn in New Hampshire... except Autumn in Vermont and in sometimes Maine...

 

But this is New Hampshire. This historic building in the sun and clouds captured my eyes. If not for a few cars and athletic equipment in the foreground, I'd have photographed this all the way to to the bottom.

 

Had to do some homework and found out this place is now a set of condos!

There are hundreds of waterfalls to explore in the vast rainforests of Bali. Sekumpul is one of the most impressive.

Endless sunflowers bloom under a clear sky in Tierra de Campos, painting the landscape with the warmth of summer.

What I love about places like our national parks is that you can always count on the environment to adapt naturally, yet the beauty never truly changes. In this image, taken in Grand Teton NP in Wyoming during late winter 2 years ago, this beauty can be recaptured year after year ... though the seasonal changes show adaption, the beauty persists.

 

I just love the winter season when we're traveling ... for I don't get it at my home. Perhaps one day if I lived with it daily, I would feel differently, though somehow I doubt it.

 

I love this shot because of the way that the glistening stream waters, which are carved through the sparkling snow cover, wind effortlessly towards the mountains in the far distance, through the path of trees. It makes me happy to see such scenes as it makes me feel so welcomed within nature and our outdoor spaces. Let's hope that our national parks and recreational lands remain preserved for many generations to come, as they were intended when they were created. :-)

 

Thanks for stopping by to view and Happy Thursday everyone!

Milka had her monthly "butt shot" (Adequan) yesterday and the vet remarked on her leg muscles which are finally noticeable again. Not quite Arnold Schwarzenegger but an improvement nonetheless. She weighed in at 63.3. lbs, her pre-injury weight (after her two ACL injuries she had dropped down to 57 lbs due to loss of muscle mass following months of rest). We are still working on lengthening our walks, ever so slowly, but things are looking up. She seems more active and much happier overall.

 

Those were nine very long months....

 

Seems that each back-lit aspen leaf is a candle unto itself !

Each year when I go up to the Sierra Nevada for my fall foliage hunt, I make sure to drive up into Rock Creek Canyon. The level of color varies depending on my timing, but the views of the mountain peaks never disappoints. This is the time that snow crowns upper regions and begins to creek downward.

O trilho pedestre PR1 VRM – Costa dos Castanheiros, na Serra da Cabreira, Vieira do Minho, oferece uma imersão numa paisagem florestal mista, onde folhosas e coníferas coexistem num ecossistema de transição biogeográfica. No outono, o chão cobre-se de um tapete de folhas acobreadas, provenientes sobretudo dos castanheiros que dão nome ao percurso e que, historicamente, foram essenciais à economia rural minhota. O musgo e os líquenes que revestem os troncos são indicadores da elevada humidade e da qualidade do ar da região. A serra, com altitudes até 1262 metros, integra a rede de áreas protegidas do Norte de Portugal e alberga uma diversidade de flora e fauna, incluindo corços, javalis e, até, o lobo-ibérico. Este percurso circular de 6,25 km permite observar a dinâmica deste sistema natural e a importância dos castanheiros para a paisagem e comunidades locais.

 

The PR1 VRM – Costa dos Castanheiros pedestrian trail, in Serra da Cabreira, Vieira do Minho, offers an immersion in a mixed forest landscape, where hardwoods and conifers coexist in a biogeographic transition ecosystem. In autumn, the ground is covered with a carpet of copper-colored leaves, mainly from the chestnut trees that give the route its name and which, historically, were essential to the rural economy of Minho. The moss and lichens that cover the trunks are indicators of the region's high humidity and air quality. The mountain range, with altitudes up to 1262 meters, is part of the network of protected areas in Northern Portugal and is home to a diversity of flora and fauna, including roe deer, wild boar and even the Iberian wolf. This 6.25 km circular route allows you to observe the dynamics of this natural system and the importance of chestnut trees for the landscape and local communities.

Did a Morning walk the other day, during sunrise. It was great!

July heat mounts into the 80"s and yet the peaks are still full of snow.

 

Before heading out to find Progreston Falls, I decided to head down the street to Port Credit

Lichen is sensitive to air pollution. Beard lichen gets its nutrition directly from the air and rainwater because it has no roots.

 

Lichens are basically found in all forests, but air pollution destroys the lichen quickly. Instead, in clean air, they can grow to 10 or even 20 centimeters in length.

GECX 3000, their Battery-Electric Locomotive (BEL) lays over at the Argentine Diesel Shop before heading out to California for testing. This is a "100-percent battery-electric road locomotive prototype that works with conventional diesel locomotives." From KC, it'll run out to Barstow, and then test between there and Stockton.
