Continuing a theme

Denver Botanic Gardens

it was difficult to watch scenes like this...continually thinking would it make it in the end!

As I continue to process images from my recently concluded trip to Kenya, I thought I'd post this image from a special encounter on my last trip with a hippo on land one very early morning. The grain in the image reflects the very early hour this image was taken, but it was still a rare and special site.

I have taken this photo this afternoon (11/23/2021) from our dining area window in our apartment.

There are 2 major waterfalls on the Yellowstone River. This is the Upper falls . The water continues to flow a quarter mile downstream over the Lower Yellowstone Falls. It then enters the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. The total height of the Upper Falls is 308 feet !!

Captured this as this little guy finally reached the top !!!!!I\

Wil be away for the next week so will not be on the computer but wish you all a great weekend and I will try to catch up with you all when I get back…

Thanks everyone for your continued support !!!

Continuing on my clean up of the most recent images, still shooting and still staying safe.

Thank you for visiting and for all the very kind words, very much appreciated.

continuing to experiment with selective color...having fun with it.

COVID numbers are continuing to rise around the world. So many people are in lockdown and not able to get out, many have been sick and have had loved ones die, and so many, including me, who haven't been able to hug their families since the beginning of this pandemic. And we have no idea when the end is in sight, or if things will ever get back to "normal."

When I saw this little vine wrapped around a post in a nearby garden, I thought of how much all of us need a hug right about now. So I'm sending out a virtual hug to all of you.

Here's a song from one of my favourite bands, Walk of the Earth, that I think might give you a smile:

Continuing down the county road in Texas Hill Country. First it was the cow going the opposite way, now I just stopped the car and watched as the donkey just kept walking closer and closer to me while I watched with amusement. Good think I wasn't in a hurry, lol. All in a day driving the back roads and looking for the spring wildflowers.

Continuing my homage to Maine...

Continuing my Toy-ronto Life series...

Happy Miniature Sunday!

Some golden coloured Toronto cityscapes through the TS vision :-)

Continuing my theme of reflections taken on my tour of Skye and the Highlands region this image just had everything. The clouds, boat, trees, the mountains and the small reeds in the foreground just made it, in my mind, complete.

I continue to be in awe of the beauty I saw at Ox Bow Bend in Grand Teton National Park. Here is another look at this spectacular place. This image has a wider angle and less zoom than the one I posted several weeks ago. Any way you dice it, this is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Talk about a stress reliever.

Back from the cottage gentrification project ready for the season and our isolation oasis I hope that you enjoy the continuation of my re-edit visit to the Netherlands from fall 2017 to continue on unabated until arriving in Amsterdam for my final post in the series.

Thanks for all the supportive comments on this Dutch Masters process development and those that just like to have something trying to be a little distracting in their feed other than today’s current events,

my goal is to hopefully trigger a memory or the want of a memory of someplace you would like to be.

As mentioned before my short break, Delft is where we will pick up my reverse chronological order Dutch revisit, captured here is what I thought to be Vermeer’s corner but now upon some reflection realize it is not his view but it is a view of Delft just the same and not a bad one.

Delft is an easy day trip from almost any location in the Netherlands making it an excellent day trip, the core is easily walkable, chock full of historic treasures, wonderful shops, warm cafes and beautiful views and should not be missed.

I took this on Sept 17th, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 58mm 1/40s, f/16 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , Luminar and DXO

Continuing along Merry Dale Clough and the Colne Valley Circular (W. Yorkshire UK)

L'église Sainte-Radegonde est une église paroissiale catholique située dans le village de Talmont-sur-Gironde.

Édifiée sur une falaise surplombant l'estuaire de la Gironde, cette église est parfois considérée comme l'archétype du style roman saintongeais.

L'église Sainte-Radegonde est édifiée à partir du xie siècle à l'initiative des bénédictins de l'abbaye de Saint-Jean-d'Angély, lesquels auraient fait du sanctuaire une étape sur l'un des chemins de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle. Ainsi, après avoir suivi la Via Turonensis jusqu'à Saintes, certains jacquets auraient-ils choisi de se rendre à Talmont d'où ils auraient embarqué pour la basilique de Soulac, sur l'autre rive de l'estuaire de la Gironde, poursuivant leur périple par la voie de Soulac.

Bien qu'une plaque commémorant le pèlerinage ait été apposée à proximité de l'église par la « Société des amis de Saint-Jacques », l'importance - sinon la réalité - de celui-ci se heurte à l'absence de preuves tangibles antérieures au milieu du xxe siècle.

fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Église_Sainte-Radegonde_de_Talmont

___________________________________________

The church Sainte-Radegonde is a Catholic parish church in the village of Talmont-sur-Gironde.

Built on a cliff overlooking the Gironde estuary, this church is sometimes seen as the archetype of the Saintonge Romanesque style.

The church Sainte-Radegonde is built from the eleventh century on the initiative of the Benedictine Abbey of Saint Jean d'Angely, which would have made the sanctuary a step on one of the ways of Saint-Jacques Compostela. Thus, after following Via Turonensis to Saintes, some jacquets would they chose to go to Talmont from where they embarked for the Basilica of Soulac, on the other bank of the Gironde estuary, continuing their journey through Soulac.

Although a plaque commemorating the pilgrimage was affixed close to the church by the "Society of Friends of Saint-Jacques," the importance - if not the reality - of it runs up against the absence of hard evidence prior to mid-twentieth century.

Continued from yesterday. Mamma RSH with her young--a tight crop. This was right after the two parents watched me from across the river. Another few moments, she'll leap out of the tree and fly above me. I think she knew I was Camera Guy--I doubt any of the tent dwellers have a camera like mine--or at all. They do have their supply of needles, though . . .

The Nikon D7100 and the 200-500mm lens produce fine results. This is a rather tight crop, and it still came out just as well as if it weren't cropped at all, even in large view. I'll have the less cropped version of this and another in the distant future, more of Mamma here in the near future.

Thanks for Viewing.

We had some visitors last night - mom and dad western tanager and a couple of their youngsters. I had the feeling last year that one of the many western tanagers we saw during the spring had nested nearby. This year I am convinced that is the case. I was unable to get a shot of one of the adults feeding the "teenagers" (one shown here) so that will be my goal over the next week or so.

Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!

While many other places in the northern hemisphere are showing signs of warming weather, we continue to demonstrate why it is not the weather that drew us here. No, ironically we came for the jobs.

Framed in my last picture, this shows the trail continuing, hugging the lakeshore. If you look closely you can see a man and his dog.

Continuing on with my series of my hometown of Muswellbrook , documenting buildings by night, particulary during the Blue hour

Meanwhile, winter winds slammed Florida, driving wind surfers to don half wet suits.

sometimes the conditions determine our way...but not change!..

Continuing with the C-O-L-D theme...

This image was captured within minutes of yesterday violet-hued picture featuring the 'icebergs'. You can see the same-colored sky here.

At -10 below zero, the water near the shore has frozen and that is the blue and white ice here in the foreground. The darker blue on the horizon are the large waves rolling in the open water.

Fortunately the temperatures have moderated in the last few days and we feel warm at 25 f. :)

Enjoy the cold with me here!

No matter how large or how small a given space may be there’s always room for colors to share that space. A tree has so much space to share with lots of vivid colors. Look at the colors or shades that Autumn provides us at its peak. A Maple tree is a good example. On a smaller scale look at the most colorful fish in an aquarium. One fish can house several colors within its body. Though many flowers appear to represent basically one color such as a Red Rose, a Yellow Rose etc., this rose caught my attention in that there are no less than two beautiful “Colors Sharing Space” Nature continues to amaze and impress us with miracles (plants, animals and people) that come in many colors yet sharing small spaces. Thanks for viewing my work.

Continuing to reprocess some of my early digital shots.

Continuing my coastal Texas birding series with this Roseate Spoonbill flyby.

South Padre Island Birding And Nature Center.

My sparrow journey continues with one of North America's most common sparrows, very friendly, never flying too far, being a slow, methodic mover. I always thought its most prominent feature was a large chest spot....but unless I have the ID wrong, it's not always there! They form groups on migration with other sparrows and I never saw one in south Florida, although infrequently they are reported in the upper part of the state.

Continuing the series about current floods in Paris.

Don't miss the drowned building on the left ... usually people gather by the hundreds just in front of that building so they can share a picnic by the Seine.

Have nice day, my friends !

Continuing my "Critters In Winter" series, here's a beetle sauntering along the ice in February. Not exactly attractive, this one, but it attracted my attention. Who knew? And where was it going? And to do what? And why?

There's nothing to eat out there in February; there's no one to mate with. But there it was, activated by unseen forces, marching across a frozen wasteland like Sir John Franklin's crew after their ships went down in the Arctic in 1848.

As I recall, this was a cold day. I walked along the frozen Frenchman River, unconcerned about the ice cracking. It was a solid mass. I didn't last very long out there, and - I'm sure - neither did the beetle.
