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.

Sure it is not an original shot, and there are many milions of photos of this arch. But it is a really impressive and surrealistic place. You feel so small, and there are no words to define this place. Worth a visit. Delicate Arch, Arches National Park, Moab, Utah (USA).
De ben segur que no és una foto original i que n'hi ha milions com aquesta. Però és realment un lloc impressionant i surrealista. Et sents molt petit, i et quedes sense paraules per definir aquest indret. Una visita val la molt pena. Delicate Arch, Arches National Park, Moab, Utah (Estats Units).

I wish a photo could render the fragrance of flowers. This one was exquisite.
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.
This photo was taken on October 23rd, 2005, on the last day of my first trip to New York city. A huge leap of faith, one of the largest I had ever taken. It was indeed a trip that was to forever change my life. And with each subsequent trip there, more opportunities to travel - 2006 to Seattle, 2007 to Detroit, and many more trips to the city that never sleeps. And on each journey I met fellow photographers who would touch my soul and heart in such a profound way, life and self discovery expanded at exponential speed. I was no longer afraid of who I was, what my art had to say, what i wanted to be, where i wanted to go. That period was not without tears, pain, loving and letting go, but within that vulnerability I drew strength and courage. I felt alive. It all felt right.
It's odd, how our perceptions of the world around us, as well as the perceptions we have of ourselves change over time.
This image once symbolized unapologetic vulnerability and delicate fearlessness, but looking at it again, 4 years later, I see melancholy, reservation and fearful naiveté. It is me, has always been me, but what is different? When I look in the mirror, I don't see this same woman. Something in the eyes has shifted, been displaced, lost in the shuffle of daily struggles. Life in New York, Seattle, Detroit has moved on, but i feel as if I am frozen in time, my life, hyphenated, struggling to find balance again, to be inspired, to find my way back to my passion, purpose, simple things that once made me very happy.
My camera has now become a utilitarian machine, serving no other purpose than to document the world around me. I ask myself every day - will i ever find that inspiration again? That passion to create, the courage to be fearless?
Mom goes in for her next scan at the end of the month, and then a subsequent meeting with her oncologist on the 4th of December. There are two ways this could turn out - the cancer can come back, or she can be free of cancer. Two ways our Christmas could turn out - a white happy Christmas, or a grey sad one. We pray for the best, hope for recovery but prepare for the worst.
Perhaps that is what is happening now with my photography - I'm praying for inspiration, hoping for discovery but preparing for creative closure.
Perhaps these wounds I have collected over these past 4 years need time to heal, but it also makes me realize the necessity of finding a way back to a medium that once helped me process the world around me, and that this might be the only way to make sense of the world again. But there is fear. Fear of what i will see in the next self portrait; but is a leap of faith I must take one more time.
Thank you to everybody that views, comments and for favouring my images. Always greatly appreciated.
The iconic arch where everyone takes a photo. However, seeing in person is quite amazing how nature can form and represent its beauty to us. Happy photography! ☺️
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.

This most iconic of Arches' National Park's natural bridges and perhaps one of the most famous geologic features in the world is beleaguered by photographers at sunset, so one does not necessarily get to capture it at the very best angle. But I was so happy to catch the last sunrays on the freestanding arch after virtually running up the hills leading to it. For 45 minutes, you have no idea where it might be, as it is hidden in a bowl at the top of one of the park’s famous sandstone fins. The partly rugged and steep path and the slickrock you are walking on requires shoes with a good grip, particularly on the way down, as you are losing the light fast...
Great experience!

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!
