I have wanted to get a good star trail shot since, well, since I started taking photos. There is so much that can go wrong, so much that can be overlooked that for many years I have failed at making a successful star trail image. For this shot I sat clinging on to the side of a fifty foot sandstone bowl so steep I could not take off my backpack because it would roll away. I huddled there for eight hours without sleep or the use of an light (ipod,phone, reading etc). I just sat there and watched the stars go by. It was easily one of the most miserable and awesome nights of my life. After all the work from that night and the years of trying it feels really good to get a good star shot.
Stars over Delicate Arch. Arches National Park, Utah
Last night was the first hard freeze in NE Oklahoma, so went to a low area near water and found the plants that create Ice Ribbons, this is natures delicate art, in a few more minutes they will be gone with sun out and temperatures rising. More information on this found at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frost_flower
I love standing near the beauty of cherry blossom trees. These small, soft and delicate flowers are always a reminder to me how fragil life can be.

As I composed here I noticed a raven pair fly over head then roost left center, under side of the arch. Stone underside must be more irregular than it appears and affords a safe roost for the night...
“As delicate as flower, as tender as rose petals, choosing to be tender and kind in a harsh environment is not weakness, it's courage.”
― Luffina Lourduraj
For mushrooms / a delicate nature may be sufficient / to survive as a species / over millions of years.
Below-zero air arrived suddenly, and these delicate little crystals began to form on the old storm windows upstairs. Usually they are much more dense, but maybe I caught the show early, before that happened.
Looking Close... on Friday: September Flora
I wish a photo could render the fragrance of flowers. This one was exquisite.
Going through this shot I decided to work and work on this image until I can do no better. This was when I visited Arches National Park back in 2017.
Delicate Arch is the most iconic sandstone arch in the Arches National Park and it requires medium difficulty and 3 miles hiking both ways. It’s challenging and intimidating at some slopes where these photos were taken but visitors were undaunted and really enjoyed the breathtaking views. But unfortunately, the day after we visited, on 11/29/2019, two tourists from California fell to their death near this site. Do make sure the weather be favorable before you take up the hike and exercise your highest level of caution when you go. A pair of hiking shoes with proper gripping on rock is a must. Do not attempt to hike up there with regular sneaker, never!
This beautiful, delicate, broken frame surrounded by ivy, was on one of the derelict cottages in Glasserton Woods. Near Whithorn, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.
I lost all inspiration to take any photos about a year ago, but since Lockdown I have spent more time in my garden and watching the flowers open has made me gradually begin to
take a few photos again.
This little rose is from me to you all, wishing you safe and well wherever you are in the world.
