A rather turbulent looking and somewhat elongated cloud, skirts the surface of the ocean and touches the crest of Pender Island. Above and behind, the swift moving higher clouds also reveal a warm light. Just another pleasant day in Sechelt with some new discoveries including a lone duck.

Many thanks to all those who view, fav or comment my pictures. I very much appreciate it.

A weekend stroll through the woods of the Parkville Nature Sanctuary. It was getting a bit late in the evening. The heat and humidity has been brutal around these parts forcing me to wait even longer to venture out. The great thing about photography is that you can walk the same path countless times, but by changing your focus you can see it a new light. Discovery.

Her brothers and I planted this on the beach for Kate to "discover." I captured several as she explored her find.
Kate is still in quite a bit of pain from her surgery and so flickr time is tough for me. I have barely taken any photos in the last month because my family has needed my time. I feel rusty.
Explored #133 Thank you for your kind comments.
This is SOOC. I tried playing with some textures but I like it pure best.
A fun discovery while hiking a trail in La Fortuna, Costa Rica—a group of “Tent-Making bats”, tucked under the palm leaf “tent” they constructed to give them shelter as they sleep.
We’re on a mini-trip for a few days. Wesley here at the West Point Lighthouse at Discovery Park in Seattle.

The ancient and sacred mound of the moon.
Probably…..maybe......
I mean I don’t know that, I just made it up, but it could be, it could have been back in the day, way before sheep farming and quad bikes became a stone age dream in a time when these hills were a playground for nature spirits and neolithic hunter grabbers who ran like the wind. Yes, I think back then it was probably revered as a place of moon worship. Think I'll notify the archaeo guys.
What’s that you say - yes of course I know I need evidence thank you very much, and I have it. I admit it is only circumstantial but very, very good circumstantial ……what’s more, you are looking at it right there. No, not the photograph but the fact - that isn’t a one off event you know, I’m not that lucky. No, it happens all the time over and over throughout the year, year after year, moon coming up right over that very mound and if dozy old Magoo is on to it don’t you think an ancient Celtic druid with mushroom enhanced vision and a beard like the tail of a comet would also be on the case? Stands to reason and he’d call it mound of the moon or similar.
I’ll bet they came from all parts to venerate it, thousands of them up there every month, high on adrenaline as the moon rose up, fires burning, drums beating, flickering flames daubed in mud and ochre, all howling, baying, cavorting and who knows what up there. I mean, there weren’t any police back then - just like with raves today …. Or if there were they were probably parked in front of someone else’s comfy fire dipping into the herbs or hassling healers - or more likely naked as babes and atop the hill with everyone else, sporting deer antlers, coming home stinking of grog and telling Mrs Neander-Plod they were doing heavy undercover work! Sigh - nothing new under the moon…..
And that sacred protector bird circling the mound tells me it may also have been a burial mound. I’d wander over there with a shovel myself and have a poke around but it’s an enormous hill and heck, I discovered it why should I have to do all the work - let the PhDs get some dirt under their nails and the smell of leather off their shiny pants.
Anyway, there you have it, my discovery, the Welsh ancient and sacred mound of the moon. I photographed it for you so that you can tell your friends and support it with proof.
You are most welcome. If you got this far - Merry Christmas.
When I went out in the late afternoon, foggy light, I didn't expect to discover a flower still thriving in spite of very cold weather.

Seaside rock pools host a variety of smaller animals and plants just waiting to be discovered during coastal rambles. These Zebra Snails are making their own discoveries as they wander around a pool at Merewether, Newcastle.

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”
― Marcel Proust
In a founding document about the Riverdale Center, Thomas wrote: Our method of study is principally the cultural-historical method. We wish to establish an awareness of human spiritual development. Back of the human venture, however, there is the living process of the Earth itself. Thus we wish to associate our work with the study of the Earth, with the emergence of life, the appearance of humans, the cultural formation of traditional societies, with the recent scientific-technological revolution in human affairs, and with the ecological equilibrium, which is being sought in the future.

Hi guys! I've been sitting on this photograph for quite a while now. I wasn't sure about the colour scheme but ended up deciding with this one, which isn't that much different to the original tones.
Whilst staying at my Aunty's property back in January, there was a particular morning where the light was incredibly magical. Light rays appeared in and throughout the forest...revealing something quite peculiar - spider webs. The forest was in fact flooded with spider webs. It was a sight I'll never forget - an incredible yet very creepy sight. I just had to use them for a photo!
Driving on the outskirts of Buenous Aires, I pulled over at a cafe to strech my legs and get a cup of coffee. I walked around the back and came upon this scene. Though all this transpired awhile ago, I continue to be amazed how painting from a photo rekindles my feelings to that day.
It was quite a Sunday morning as I met up with Steve and Nathan for some early morning shooting at China camp. We spent an enjoyable 3 1/2 hours shooting some long exposures and chatting about various topics photographic. Thanks for a great time gentlemen, we must do it again soon.
All comments, critiques and feedback both positive and negative welcome.

There is still so much to be surprised by, so much to see, to do, to encounter as I wander through these streets and wait for it to unfold and present itself to me. Everyday is an adventure into beauty......
