While walking the Discovery Trail in the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest of the Inyo National Forest with a view looking up a mountainside and to the northwest. My thinking in composing this image was to have blue skies as a color contrast backdrop for the earth tones present in the lower portion of the image. I felt that would bring out more of the shapes present in the image captured. I later converted this to black & white using Silver Efex Pro 3 where I made some adjustments to color filters to bring out a much richer tonal contrast for the final image.

The ‘Discovery’; obviously not, but that’s how I felt when I first found this waterfall. Another one of Gljufurarfoss, taken the first time I visited this special place.

We are each gifted in a unique and important way. It is our privilege and our adventure to discover our own special light

BC Ferries' Island Discovery in the morning light on one of the hazy days we had last month, just approaching her Westview berth. She sails the Powell River - Texada Island route. A good looking boat.

This image actually started out with a vintage photo, an antique piece of jewelry, and this lace trim. Like all photographers, I had a vision and was very excited to see how it turned out. However, along the way I discovered that the lace, alone on the French text and in the light from my window, made a softer and prettier shot than my imagined arrangement.
Several of my images have been “detours” from the original. My bowl of roses was an idea that came about while photographing my china cabinet. My Tattered in White started as a sit down picture on a new wooden chair I had purchased. So many of my photographs were simply the result of looking around and grabbing something new to try in the arrangement I was working on at the time.
That’s one of the things I love about photography. Each session can be like a road trip without a map. If you’re willing to take a few detours, you might just like where you end up better than where you were going.

LIGHT BLOOM by HYBYCOZO is a limited-time exhibit where nature and light converge. This mesmerizing display invites you to explore the Garden transformed by stunning geometric light installations that illuminate the beauty of the desert landscape in a new way. As the sun sets, LIGHT BLOOM comes to life, casting intricate shadows and vibrant hues across the Garden. Wander the trails and let the enchanting installations transport you to a magical realm where the natural world meets the abstract.
HYBYCOZO is the collaborative studio of artists Serge Beaulieu and Yelena Filipchuk. Based in Los Angeles, their work consists of larger than life geometric sculptures, often with pattern and texture that draw on inspirations from mathematics, science, and natural phenomena. Typically illuminated, the work celebrates the inherent beauty of form and pattern and represents their ongoing journey in exploring the myriad dimensions of geometry. HYBYCOZO is short for the Hyperspace Bypass Construction Zone, a nod to their favorite novel (The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) and was the title of their first installation in 2014. They continue to create under this name. In the novel earth was being destroyed to make way for a bypass. It lead Serge and Yelena to ask what it means to make art at a time where the earth’s hospitable time in the universe may be limited.

Q: Walk us through your creative process?
A: The focus of our creative process is to explore the intricate interplay between geometry, light, space and to inspire contemplation, wonder and a sense of place among our audiences. Geometry and pattern-making serve as the backbone of our creative expression. It is the framework through which we navigate the complexities of form, proportion and spatial relationships. Patterns, both simple and complex, have a profound impact on our perception and understanding of the world. They possess the ability to evoke a sense of order, balance and aesthetic pleasure. Pattern making and geometry offer us a means of storytelling and communication. These patterns serve as conduits for deeper exploration, provoking introspection and contemplation to uncover the underlying symbols embedded within the human psyche.
Q: What inspired the concept of LIGHT BLOOM?
A: Just as many cactus and desert plants have evolved to produce night-blooming flowers, adapting to their environment and thriving in darkness, our sculptures come alive after sunset, blossoming with light and transforming the night into a glowing landscape of art and geometry.
Desert Botanical Garden has an incredible collection of plants and cacti arranged in a beautiful park setting.
"Think the desert is all dirt and tumbleweeds? Think again. Desert Botanical Garden is home to thousands of species of cactus, trees and flowers from all around the world spread across 55 acres in Phoenix, Arizona."

Captain Discovery by Rachael and Phillippa Corcutt
From the website:
It’s all hands on deck and ship ahoy with this playful design. Capitan Discovery wears a sailors hat, eyepatch, binoculars and has a trusty seagull friend. This design is inspired by Hampshires connections to the sea and the wonders of exploration, travel and discovery. From exploring new places from farther afield, to taking in the stunning sights off Hampshire's coastline. Celebrating Hampshire's maritime history and culture, this design evokes the wonder of the ocean.
There is a new art trail in Southampton and Winchester this summer. For ten weeks Hares of Hampshire will bring thirty-two large hares and forty-two leverets to the streets, parks, galleries and shops of the two cities.
All money raised by donations and by the auction of the hares at the end of the summer will go to the Murray Parish Trust.
A few years ago I rode my bicycle down a road that stopped at a dead end. An old iron gate stood at the end of the road, rusted and overgrown with weeds. (I'd posted a photo of this gate last year.) Getting off my bike, I walked past the gate into the woods and came across some amazing discoveries. This very large metal structure is one such find. It is huge; this is its open end. Most of the roof is gone, and it is surrounded by dense overgrowth. Inside, all kinds of old and odd bits remain. Since then, it has become a place my children and I (and then they and their friends) have loved to explore.
Unfortunately, it is slated for demolition: soon a large neighborhood of new houses will be built on this land.

“We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.” ― Plato
We all know the feeling of a big dream failing to come to fruition. Last night I was dealing with that emotion and let myself feel fully the weight of it for a few minutes. After a long walk in the forest I renewed my quest and found beauty in the defeat. Our stories grow stronger when hardship rears it's head. It is our buildup to the climax that we will eventually write for ourselves; it is the road turning uphill when we most wish it would let us fly. And it is so sweet, the feeling of defeat, when you embrace it and release it with renewed hope. Failure will come for us all in one form or another, there is nothing unique in that. How we push through it into that dark unknown is what defines us. I'm moving forward into my particular darkness with so much hope that soon my light will flood the night sky.
It seems like there's not much to discover geographically anymore, but it's fun to think about what it would be like to find a pristine magical land.

Excuse the title, I didn't spend a whole lot of time thinking about it, but I've often wondered what it must have been like to be gold prospector John Hillman "discovering" Crater Lake at this spot (Discovery Point).
According to legend (and wikipedia), Hillman first saw this amazing landscape from the back of a mule, which is a little like viewing the Eiffel Tower while on a Segway tour: I'm sure he tried hard to omit that fact when asked about the experience.
Hillman's relatives: "So, Grandpa, then you saw Crater Lake for the first time, huh?"
Hillman: "Yes, it was possibly one of the most amazing moments of my life."
Hillman's relatives: "And did you just walk up to the rim? Weren't you tired of walking?"
Hillman: "Well, I hadn't walked the WHOLE way. I had some help."
Hillman's relatives: "What do you mean? Were you on a horse?"
Hillman: "It was a mule, okay!? Jeez. I had bad blisters and was riding my pack mule! Now go get me another beer."
The 52-meter-high Padrão dos Descobrimentos dominates the shoreline of n the civil parish of Santa Maria de Belém, Lisbon.
The monument celebrates the 15 and 16th-century Portuguese explorers and visionaries , who established Portugal as the most powerful seafaring nation of the era.
On the eastern side of the monument are statues of Portugal’s great explorers, while on the western side are the key supporters who empowered the 15th century “Age of Discovery”.
Infante Dom Henrique (1394 – 1460) is routinely bestowed the title of “Henry the Navigator”, and is the key figure on the Padrão dos Descobrimentos, supported by both sets of characters on the east and west side of the monument.
