Taken shortly after my previous photo of the plateau rock at Portland - www.flickr.com/photos/e_w_photo/49063475872/in/dateposted/
This one was facing into the wind and needed continual wiping of the filter as there was so much sea spray.
Thanks for viewing :-)

I am spoiled by having most of the Great Salt Lake all to myself. When I see traces of other humans, it peeks at my curiosity.
As the lake continually recedes, the shoreline becomes larger and larger. I look forward to the day when this area is once again submerged.
GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.

Chappell Hill Methodist Church is a historic church on Church Street in Chappell Hill, Texas.
The current Carpenter Gothic church building was constructed in 1901 Heinrich C. Brandt, but the church congregation and its Wesleyan tradition date back to 1849. In 1849, Chappell Hill's founders, Jacob Haller and Mary Hargrove Haller, dedicated an acre, adjacent to the Chappell Hill Academy, for a church site.
The first church building was erected in 1853 and continually served as a house of worship until September 9, 1900, when it was destroyed by the Great Storm of 1900. The present building was constructed in 1901. Chappell Hill is the home of the Official State of Texas Bluebonnet Festival. Sadly, when this photo was taken there were no bluebonnets in sight!

The small turtle (Red-eared Slider) is continually maneuvering to snuggle up face-to-face with the larger turtle. But the big turtle continually brushes off the little guy. Amazing to me that turtles have a social life! Riverstone Wetlands, Sugar Land, Texas.
A voyage through the Inner Passage is a journey full of magic and enchantment. Little fairytale scenes continually present themselves, always set against the backdrop of forbidding mountains, always fronted by the power of the unrelenting sea.

Inspired by Mags www.flickr.com/photos/mags/ - whose low key mono work (acutally any of her work) makes the trivial into pure art. She is one of my earliest contacts and continually amazes me with her images ... HFF everyone.
The Monarchs arrived, in steady numbers, in late July but it's been hard to photograph them - they seemed to be continually in flight. But now they're beginning to feed more frequently and so are still for a few moments, anyway. The most revered butterfly species, in part because of their endangered status, seeing them seems to make everyone smile. :)

At the end of the boulevard to the west and where the end of Ondaretta beach is, one comes to a point where three pieces of steel cling to the rocks. This work of art is called "El Peine del Viento" (the Comb of the Wind) and was created by the Basque sculptor Eduardo Chillida. Eduardo Chillida anchored the three sculptures to the rocks so that the incoming wind would be continually "combed" at La Concha Bay.
The artwork was placed in the bay in 1977 in collaboration with the (environmental) architect Luis Peña Ganchegui. The artwork consists of granite terraces with three Corten steel sculptures on top. Each of the three steel sculptures weighs around 10 tons.
These sculptures have been positioned in the place where the city ends and the sea begins, where the waves embrace the stark escarpments of Monte Igeldo. This is a place where the wind and the sea beat together, whipping the rocks with a sense of abandonment. Nature and art blend together and appear as one, and the positioning of the sculpture pieces makes them appear to emerge from the rocks themselves, almost as if they were a part of them.
Because the artwork contains air holes, the sculpture can produce a special sound during stormy days because of the brutal waves in combination with the image of splashing water.
Isaiah 58:11 “And the LORD will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.”
Whinchats are conspicuous by their continual calling as you enter their territory.Much like its more common cousin the Stonechat, they will often perch on top of bushes or small trees so they can keep a close eye on you.

Whilst wandering around Cross Hills Gardens enjoying the last of the autumn, we were continually kept company by some very friendly fantails - this was a shot taken on my macro lens which is what the camera happened to be armed with at the time!

The garden was frozen over with the exception of the waterfall that flows continually...
One room of the martin house on the left is being occupied by squirrels... I've never seen them go in or out... but their bedding is overflowing!!
What hurts more is that I continually came back, as if to allow you to hurt me over and over again... Why did I do that?!?! What was I thinking?!?!
Here's to fresh starts and I have always found New Year's Resolutions a little bit cliché and yet I still always make them and most of the time keep them. Some of my previous NY's resolutions included giving up my car and bicycling all year 'round (I did this about 11 years ago), becoming vegan (8 years or so ago), and reading a book a day (I read 366 books in 2019 and have read at least 200 books every year since then).
My biggest NY resolution this year is to follow up on some medical stuff. Ever since I had Covid my heart arrhythmias have increased. These run in my family unfortunately and my dad has to take medication for them. I went to two cardiologists in 2001 to get this checked out and they said I had a Mitral Valve Prolapse but that my heart rate was also too low to put me on meds because lowering one's heart rate is what the meds would do and it would be too dangerous. I imagine maybe there has been some advances in 21 years so I suppose I should follow up now that it is happening more frequently. I had really bad luck going to see doctors with my old health insurance and was charged a $600 copay for even an office visit to a specialist and was told this was because the doctor was associated with a hospital (Which is basically every doctor) which meant I was charged a hospital fee even though I never went to the hospital. I switched health insurance so maybe that will make a difference. This is a very crooked industry in America that profits off of peoples' suffering without any regulation. We really need socialized medicine and our taxes are just continually misspent on other things that don't benefit us at all or very little.
I also feel like I need to talk to a psychiatrist or psychologist. I had a hard time getting them to take my previous health insurance so maybe this will also work out better. I've met with psychologists at three different points in my life and it's been about 5 or 6 years since I have been to see one as my previous one moved away. Having Obsessive Compulsive Disorder means that I take 4,000+ photos every day of a festival and/or every day I am on vacation but it also means that I am always stressing out about or ruminating over conversations and things of that nature. I've had a few coworkers with family members who have died around my age and that has cause a lot of anxiety. I know this is normal but I want to still be able to function fully. I also isolate myself and want to work on becoming better friends with at least 2 other photographers in Chicago this year. Many of my favorite friends live pretty far away so I don't see them regularly and I think there is something beneficial about spending time with other creative people. The pandemic and my anxieties about how safe other people are definitely put a strain on me being social, especially when the weather isn't great but I'm going to try.
There's some minor things too..I want to only eat when I am hungry vs. snacking. I want to try to be more open and say yes to doing more things even if I feel like I'd rather be alone doing art. I want to write a few short stories this year that I've been thinking about ideas for. I am deleting my Twitter account after being a regular Twitter user for 15 years because I cannot stand Elon Musk. I'm going to continue to be a political advocate but I want to challenge myself to also be more creative at work, to be more patient throughout every day and appreciate more of the smaller moments in between larger ones, and to get better at talking and taking care of my plants as well.
If you read all that, thanks and hope that you are also having a nice New Year and are thinking of your intentions for 2023 and ways you feel you can be your best self or add to this strange universe we call home.

Oh,to be in England now that Spring is here .........The countryside is changing colour at a pace now,the fresh new growth and blossom on the trees,the fresh green grass. The continually changing skies, as another April shower blows across and darkens the sky.
Nest Maintenance
Even though many of their chicks have already left their minimal nests and are roosting on branches, Great Egrets seem to be driven to continually maintain their nests. Taken at Kiwanis Lake in Pennsylvania.

A quick trip through images captured in late fall reminded me that change is constant. If you feel like a melting ice cube, remember to stay hydrated.
These are the Double Lake water works, a continual fascination for me because they protect my house from flooding in Texas hurricanes. Wading birds (herons, egrets) used to fish at the crenelated weir in the center left, but no more. Got to suspect the management of the two lakes. Rotenone maybe? Or just too manicured for wildlife (like so much of our planet). Sugar Land, Texas.
This Thing, Infinity
Thinking beyond thought, being of non-being,
Certainty without reason and vision beyond seeing.
Everything and nothing, both infinite and finite.
Where nothing escapes or travels beyond light.
A time without end, when all exists for all eternity;
Fascinating paradox, this thing called infinity.
An end without an ending,
From here to eternity, and back to the beginning;
An endless sojourn
From which there is no return.
For, there was, and yet, never is a beginning,
And there never will be an ending;
Only, an end, continually becoming.
~ Gene Margolis ~
Just take a look outside tonight and contemplate the infinity of space.Its vastness is too huge for us to see. We’re in an infinite, never-ending, never-beginning universe.
Endings are beginnings...to infinity and beyond!
Sending love to you... xoxo
Taken with my iPhone 11, it was quite dark so the image turned out somewhat grainy. But I think it adds to the dramatic mood, so I'm embracing it :)
I love this lake. Continually changing in form and color, it's always a joy to behold.
On a recent Arboretum trip....this would be fully opened by now and tulip season would be slowly on way out by now....
Continual warm temps....wonderful!
Thanks for your visit, Happy Mother's Day to mothers....you are honored....Pat...xo...

A common resident Owlet found in forests across the country. They can be often heard during morning / evenings in the forests, but they are kind of active during the day too. The birds are quite predatory in the night and hence the calls attract a variety of birds that gang up and chase the owlets away.
That evening, we heard constant calls of these Owlets - 2 of them at the same time and sighted both of them. That brought out Bulbuls, babblers, Drongoes and few other birds all of which searched for the Owlets and chased them away from the place. The Owlets moved several times and sat quietly in some trees - often close to us, but they move so stealthily that we couldn't trace them. But thanks to the Bulbuls and other small birds that were continually harassing these owlets, we sighted them again and again.
This is nearing end of Spring here, but there were still several bare trees that the owlets could find some space on. The trees with canopy and fruit support several nesting birds and the summer breeding season is starting - no wonder the Owlets are so unwelcome.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.

Oldest continually operating (since 1916) Chinese-American restaurant in the country. This building was built in 1909 (or possibly 1911) and was first a brothel and opium den.

A dive into the kitchen's drawers gave me the opportunity to see things in a different light.
The cloud formations above Mount Ruapehu were fascinating to watch as they continually changed across the peaks and above the mountain.

The Plaza de España, designed by Aníbal González, was a principal building built on the Maria Luisa Park's edge to showcase Spain's industry and technology exhibits. González combined a mix of 1920s Art Deco and 'mock Mudejar', and Neo-Mudéjar styles. The Plaza de España complex is a huge half-circle with buildings continually running around the edge accessible over the moat by numerous bridges representing the four ancient kingdoms of Spain. In the centre is the Vicente Traver fountain. By the walls of the Plaza are many tiled alcoves, each representing a different province of Spain.
Today the Plaza de España mainly consists of Government buildings. The Seville Town Hall, with sensitive adaptive redesign, is located within it. The Plaza's tiled 'Alcoves of the Provinces' are backdrops for visitors portrait photographs, taken in their own home province's alcove. Towards the end of the park, the grandest mansions from the fair have been adapted as museums. The farthest contains the city's archaeology collections. The main exhibits are Roman mosaics and artefacts from nearby Italica.
The Plaza de España has been used as a filming location, including scenes for the 1962 film Lawrence of Arabia. The building was used as a location in the Star Wars movie series — Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999) and Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002) — in which it featured in exterior shots of the City of Theed on the Planet Naboo. It also featured in the 2012 film The Dictator.

Two North American otters playing in the snow. An image of a sea otter in the first comment section for comparison.
The North American river otter (Lontra canadensis), also known as the northern river otter or the common otter, is a semiaquatic mammal endemic to the North American continent found in and along its waterways and coasts. An adult river otter can weigh between 5.0 and 14 kg (11.0 and 30.9 lb). The river otter is protected and insulated by a thick, water-repellent coat of fur.
The river otter, a member of the subfamily Lutrinae in the weasel family (Mustelidae), is equally versatile in the water and on land. It establishes a burrow close to the water's edge in river, lake, swamp, coastal shoreline, tidal flat, or estuary ecosystems. The den typically has many tunnel openings, one of which generally allows the otter to enter and exit the body of water. Female otters give birth in these underground burrows, producing litters of one to six young.
North American river otters, like most predators, prey upon the most readily accessible species. Fish is a favored food among the otters, but they also consume various amphibians (such as salamanders and frogs), freshwater clams, mussels, snails, small turtles and crayfish. Instances of river otters eating small mammals and occasionally birds have been reported as well.
The range of the North American river otter has been significantly reduced by habitat loss, beginning with the European colonization of North America. In some regions, though, their population is controlled to allow the trapping and harvesting of otters for their pelts. River otters are very susceptible to the effects of environmental pollution, which is a likely factor in the continued decline of their numbers. A number of reintroduction projects have been initiated to help stabilize the reduction in the overall population. – Wikipedia
An added bonus to our horrible weather of late was some thick fog which descended on our whole area.
I decided it might give me a different take on my local Steetley Pier, which I have captured at numerous times in different weather conditions.
It was challenging as there was a sea mist, which continually soaked the filter and trying to keep it dry while shooting was a bit of a nightmare.
I called it "Vanishing Point" as the Pier disappears into the fog and the pump house which can normally be seen at the end, isn't visible.
Sadly I heard recently that the Pier is to be demolished :(
You sang to me with lyrical romantic tunes while going along the winding roads in the early afternoon.
Basking in the sunshine of your words, I smiled so bright!
My eyes got a glimpse of your face, your light.
My ears got to hear you near, my dear.
My heart jumped in euphoric delight.
Serenading me with tenderness and songs of old. Telling me of long untouched emotion and yet, this was foretold.
Baritones and tenors would struggle to resound what you do so naturally and most profound.
Like floating on the wings of angels, the soft wind carried your voice from far away.
I'll always remember this song-filled and glorious day.
Just like when Adam met Eve for the first time in the flowering garden and everything was blessed, this is the very core of how to build a sweet melodic and harmonious nest.

I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and I wish you all a very blessed New Year!
May your heart be continually filled with sunny love songs.
Thank you all for your continued support, comments, and favs. You and they are greatly appreciated.
We must be like the fountain or spring that is continually emptying itself of all that it has and is continually being refilled from an invisible source To be continually giving out for the good of our fellowmen undeterred by fear of poverty and reliant on the unfailing bounty of the Source of all wealth and all good -- this is the secret of right living.

Here, in the L'Esterel national park I saw them the fist time Cork Oaks. In here, nobody is barking them. The only thing thats possible bathering them may be the continually and forcefully calls of the cicades in their crowns.
Hier im Nationalpark L'Esterel habe ich sie zum ersten mal gesehen, die Korkeichen. Diese hier werden allerdings in Ruhe gelassen und nicht geschält. Das einzige, was sie vielleicht stören könnte, wären die unablässigen eindringlichen Rufe der Zikaden in ihren Kronen.
The Wild Center· Natural History Museum
Live animals, hands-on exhibits & forest trails connect guests with the Adirondacks.
There is a lot of information ranging from different types of fungus to the life of an otter. Along the tree top excursion you can continually be educated about the surrounding environment. Ground trails are well maintained and are clearly marked when trails outside of the center intersect them. The parking lot is spacious and hard topped; easy to traverse.

Hendrix’s music was its continual opening of new possibilities; it’s the sound of an explorer seeking not to possess what he’s after, but make himself part of it. Discovery was at the core of his world , he recorded 70 times the year before his death

A wild windy day with clouds racing me across the beach. They were beautifully wispy and continually changing. I was as virtually happy as I can be. I'm off to try and catch some frosty shots so must dash. Virtually happy is by Holly Golightly.
Since childhood, I have taken numerous pictures of Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory (aka Belle Isle Conservatory) on many occasions, fascinated by its shape and collection of plants. This is not the photo usually seen, but it's my favorite.
It was designed by noted local architects Albert Kahn and George Mason in 1902-1903, opening in 1904, and now the oldest continually running conservatory in the U.S.. It was renamed for Anna Scripps Whitcomb in honor/thanks for her donation to the museum of her collection of 600 orchids.
(Note: This view, with domes increasing in size, with an antenna pointing upward reminded me of a stairway, and with Whitcomb's donation of orchids...well, if you know the song by Led Zeppelin...)
