The finest qualities of our nature, like the bloom on fruits, can be preserved only by the most delicate handling. Yet we do not treat ourselves nor one another thus tenderly.

A couple of days away for my birthday in the Yorkshire Dales saw some serious waterfall hunting going on, as much a scouting trip as a shooting trip really with some great new locations discovered and a few old favourites revisited too for good measure.
This one was one of my favourites tucked well away from sight and going about its business quitely and without fuss, sometimes it's great to have large pounding agressive waterfalls in full spate, and sometimes it's also nice to capture them in more delicate moments like this.
It poured down later this day (as I was walking back from some 'pub research') and the falls the next day were truly spectacular in a few locations, so it was good to get shots before and after the weather changes.
A really productive trip both from a photographic point of view, and a scouting one for later in the year.

Delicate Arch is a 16 m freestanding natural arch located in Arches National Park, near Moab in Grand County, Utah, United States.
The arch is the most widely recognized landmark in Arches National Park.
Because of its distinctive shape, the arch was known as "the Chaps" and "the Schoolmarm's Bloomers" by local cowboys.
Without a doubt, it is one of the most photographed arches of this great park and the sunsets are especially crowded by photographers and tourists from all over the world. This is really quite a spectacle of great beauty.

September 2016
This is Delicate Arch of the Arches National Park in South East Utah, just outside of Moab. I drove all the way from Bryce Canyon and almost didn't make the sunrise. I had to almost jog the 2.4km trek up the hill to make it before the sun dipped below the horizon, a trek of a path coated in icy snow. Luckily I made it and witnessed some gorgeous light. On the way back to the car I wasn't so lucky and managed to slip over twice on the ice. All worth it though!
I would say this is the most iconic arch of all the arches. To get to the delicate arch, you need to hike up and let me tell you that for beginner hikers, it’s quite difficult because it’s mostly uphill and the elevation gain is no joke. We went early April in the morning, so it was still cold even when the sun’s out as you climbed to higher elevation. Poles, good hiking shoes and appropriate hiking attires along with plenty of water are important for comfort and safety. It is worth the hikes though, and you wouldn’t believe how massive it is when you stand below the arch and the overall landscape itself is immense.

A flower's appeal is in its contradictions — so delicate in form yet strong in fragrance, so small in size yet big in beauty, so short in life yet long on effect.

I love all things, not only the grand but the infinitely small: thimble, spurs, plates, flower vases.....

These delicate white mycena sp fungi standing at about 50mm tall with 7mm caps were photographed early this morning 16.10.22 growing out of a moss covered pine twig in mixed woodland , Bishopstoke , Hampshire .
Next stop... Arches National Park. This was my first of several side trips I took during my nine months on the road. I left the motorhome at my aunts house, and drove to Utah for a few days. Arches is an absolutely amazing park. I could spend a month shooting in that area, and this summer I hope to do that. This is once again, the famous Delicate Arch. I know it has been photographed to death, but it is just so damn cool.
ATTENTION, ANY OF MY FLICKR FRIENDS IN THE PHOENIX AREA.
Sometime in the next week or so, I need to visit the Phoenix Zoo to do some shooting. If anyone would care to join me, it should be a fun day. I love visiting zoos. I might even let you touch my camera. Nah... Probably not. I would prefer to go on a weekday though so it's less crowded,

I was almost completely gassed walking up the steep slab of rock on the trail, I then asked another hiker how much further up, he replied, “you still have a ways to go, but the hardest part is done.” I wanted to give up, but I wanted the joy of seeing it more. As I hiked around the last corner and got my first glimpse, my jaw dropped in awe as I couldn’t say anything but “wow!” As I stood there, I marveled at how massive it actually was, it was much bigger than I expected it to be! After taking it all in, I stopped to think and wonder how God created this and how it is perfectly framed over the mountains. It goes to show how incredible and intentional God is!
“She was so delicate that, while we sat beneath the linden branches, a leaf would fall and drift down and touch her skin, and it would leave a bruise. So as we sat in the afternoon hour, beneath that fragrant linden bower, I had to chase all of the leafs that fell away.” ― Roman Payne

The world doesn’t really need another photo of Delicate Arch, lol, but it took me multiple tries to get a clean image, so I’m posting it anyway. I have been thwarted by clouds, wildfires, and people, and on one occasion when I took friends there I even found that I forgot to put my camera n my backpack! Note to self: If you forget your camera then you might as well forget the tripod as well. 😳 Anyway, the locations so crowded I started dreading going there. This time everyone went home by 1:00 a.m. and I had the location to myself for 1-2 hours until the clouds rolled in. Yeah!!! By the time I poised in the arch the clouds had arrived, so I removed my silhouette from the cloudy photo and placed it into the clear sky photo, so this is a blend. Thanks for looking!
I'm afraid I don't know a lot about the origins of this brooch. It's made from metal and has paste stones, so it's not worth much, but I find it attractive. It probably dates from the first half of the 20th century. The base is a vintage postcard from the 1910s.
