The best nonpartisan event in Washington, DC is the annual bloom of over 3,700 cherry blossom trees. The cherry trees were a gift from Japan in 1912 as a commemoration for the 1854 Treaty of Peace and Amity which officially established formal relations between the two countries.
The arrival of the cherry blossoms also marks the arrival of spring to the nation’s capitol. The most photogenic groups of cherry blossoms are located around the Tidal Basin which is a man-made inlet adjacent to the Potomac River. Here photographers can frame the vibrant pale pink and white flowers with iconic landmarks such as The Thomas Jefferson Memorial and The Washington Monument. With the recent addition of The Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, photographers have yet more opportunities for creative compositions.
Photographers are not the only ones who enjoy the cherry blossoms in the morning. Joggers have a scenic view as they circle around the Tidal Basin. I took this photograph the morning the National Park Service declared the official peak bloom for the cherry blossoms. I used my external flash for fill light on the passing jogger (you may see a hint of her shadow). I composed this composition with the joggers and the path of the Tidal Basin serving as leading lines to the beautiful Thomas Jefferson Memorial.
Spring was a little late in arriving into the nation’s capitol so I had to wait an extra week for the bloom. When it finally did arrive, what a grand entrance it made!
Goodbye winter and hello spring!
Happy Travels!

Yosemite Falls is the highest measured waterfall in North America. Located in Yosemite National Park in the Sierra Nevada of California, it is a major attraction in the park, especially in late spring when the water flow is at its peak.
The total 2,425 feet (739 m) from the top of the upper falls to the base of the lower falls[1] qualifies Yosemite Falls as the sixth highest waterfall in the world, though with the recent discovery of Gocta Cataracts, it appears on some lists as seventh.[2]

In Scotland, between “ The River Garry “ and Loch Oich, near the Village of Invergarry is a magical unnamed mossy forest. On this cold December morning a rare event occurred. Cold temperatures, fog, and a high pressure front created perfect conditions for hoar frost to form. Before my very eyes, the forest transformed into a mystical sugar coated delight. You can see the beginnings of the frost coating the tree top canopies, delicately glazing the intricate branches.

A lone camper drinks a cup of hot tea on the horizon as the last light begins to fade up at Artist point. Mt Baker (3,286 m or 10,781 ft) forms the high point in the background to the right of frame. This shot was taken after hiking though the snow up to Artist point in the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. We then hiked down in the dark with our head torches. Washington State, USA.

The Gentoo Penguin Pygoscelis papua, is easily recognized by the wide white stripe extending like a bonnet across the top of its head and its bright orange-red bill. The gentoo penguin has pale whitish-pink webbed feet and a fairly long tail - the most prominent tail of all penguins. Chicks have grey backs with white fronts. As the Gentoo penguin waddles along on land, its tail sticks out behind, sweeping from side to side, hence the scientific name Pygoscelis, which means ‘rump-tailed’.[1] Adult Gentoos reach a height of 51 to 90 cm (20–36 in),[2][3] making them the third largest species of penguin after the two giant species, the Emperor Penguin and the King Penguin. The Gentoo penguin calls in a variety of ways, but the most frequently heard is a loud trumpeting which is emitted with its head thrown back.[4]

This is Jack. Jack only has three legs. He lost his leg as a puppy when he was rescued from a mill in NY state it was badly broken and had healed very crooked. He couldn't walk. The rescue group took him to a vet who removed it. He doesn't know he only has three legs. He chases squirrels as fast as any other dog!

Almost every single evening and morning some number of deer will come wandering through the field behind my apartment looking to graze there for a bit. Usually it's five or six, but sometimes more. Eight, ten, twelve. I've seen as many as fifteen deer pass through the field. This evening though, I saw the most I've ever seen. At least thirty deer passed through the field a little before sunset. THIRTY! And I say at least because I count thirty in this photo, but there could have been more.
My tree-across-the-field has seen storms and sun, Fall and Summer, but this is the most deer that have I've ever seen out in front of it by a longshot and I'm glad I got to witness it.

11-agt-2017: Después de terminar la visita del a cascada de Barnafoss, sólo nos quedaba llegar hasta algún camping de Þingvellir National Park y para ello tomamos sin percatarnos la ruta de Kaldidalur, que es una carretera interior de montaña, que atraviesa entre volcanes, y podría catalogarse perfectamente como lo que en Islandia denominan carreteras “F”, solo aptas para vehículos todoterreno.
Al ver que se trataba de una carretera sin asfaltar, paramos en el cruce antes de decidir si continuábamos por esa pista y tras unos minutos sopesando si nos adentrábamos, finalmente decidimos apostar por la aventura.
La 550 es conocida por el nombre de Kaldidalur o Kaldidalsvegur, y es la ruta de montaña más corta que atraviesa las “Tierras Altas” o “Highlands” de Islandia. Con sus 40 kilómetros, se considera un buen comienzo para introducirse en el mundo de las carreteras “F” de Islandia.
El nombre de la ruta proviene del valle Kaldidalur por el que atraviesa, y significa “valle frío”. La ruta comienza en Pingvellir, dejando a la derecha el volcán Skjaldbreiður, hasta llegar a Húsafell. Está abierta aproximadamente desde primeros de junio hasta mediados de septiembre, y el resto del año permanece cerrada por nieve o deshielo.
Nosotros realizamos la ruta inversa, ya que partimos de los alrededores de Húsafell, en concreto de las cascadas Hraunfossar y Barnafoss. Y aunque no está catalogada como carretera F, es de grava, y para mí que podría estar clasificada como F. Como eché de menos que nuestra ‘camper’ no fuese un 4×4.
Al comenzar la 550 nos encontramos con un camino de grava y un entorno desértico en todos los kilómetros a los que llegaba la vista, tanto por el paisaje como por la soledad del camino. En todo el recorrido sólo nos cruzamos con algún que otro ciclista y quizá un par de coches.
La carretera no parece tan peligrosa como otras carreteras F, pero en determinados tramos había tal cantidad de socavones que nuestra marcha se ralentizaba sobremanera, aparte de tener que ir con un cuidado extremo. Toda la cacharrería de nuestra ‘furgo’ no paraba de tintinear.
Tras los primeros kilómetros de nervios… y hasta arrepentimiento por haber tomado aquel camino, comenzamos a disfrutar del entorno. Nuestra vista abarcaba un espectacular paraje, tan árido, tan desolado… repleto de volcanes y lenguas glaciares en la lejanía.
En la ruta pasamos en medio de los glaciares Þórisjökull y Ok, aunque quedaban a varios kilómetros. Más al sur dejamos a la izquierda el volcán Skjaldbreiður.
Al final del recorrido cambió por completo el panorama volviéndose verde en algunas zonas, pasando incluso junto a lagos y montañas.
Después de hora y media al volante, llegamos al final de la carretera 550. Que alegría nos dio cuando pisamos asfalto nuevamente. Estábamos agotados del estrés de la pista, a pesar de las cortas paradas que realizamos para tomar alguna que otra foto.
Conducir alrededor de Islandia por la carretera 1 o Ring Road ha sido una experiencia maravillosa, pero cuando se trata del interior de la isla es algo distinto, misterioso y excitante a la vez. Resulta impresionante conducir en Kaldidalur. El paisaje de este remoto valle nos transporta en el tiempo a la Islandia más salvaje y recóndita.
No hace falta decir como acabó el coche de tierra.
