Paper thin petals tinged by colour....pretty little things :)

Delicate handiwork by my grandmother

This place needs no description so...here goes..

A monarch enjoyed fluttering with delicate wings amongst the echinacea this evening, extracting whatever nectar this afternoon's bees had left behind. A few rumbles of thunder overhead were not enough to sent me or the butterfly on our way.

In late January I went to Stanford University in the early morning to experience the rare celestial trifecta: A supermoon (14% bigger and 30% brighter than usual), a blood moon (lunar eclipse where the moon is in the shadow of the earth), and a blue moon (the second full moon in a month) at the same time. I captured the partial eclipse on top of a fountain with a 600mm Tamron lens.

I processed a balanced HDR photos from a RAW exposure, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate your critical feedback.

Delicate Arch at Sunset

Someones dried hydrangeas have been blowing through my yard and I really don't mind. In this state I find them to be so pretty and very delicate.

I hope everyone had a good day. :)

I was walking through London a few years ago and just saw this string of cranes on a tree. I thought it was interesting so I snapped a few pics. Here is one of them.

The best I have to give today...

Hope everyone is having a fabulous, bokeh-filled, Wednesday! :]

One of the things I found on my trip was this column supporting a heavy 'roof' on Fort #1 of what I call the "Four Forts" near White Pocket. See also next photo for context.

This structure's days are numbered, because it's supporting a lot of weight. That narrow neck looks fragile.

I saw this from a distance last September but was able to hike up close to it April 28, 2020.

Update: I found a photo of this that John Fowler took in 2014. Few others have hiked to this spot. I only know of one other who photographed it in the 1980s when this whole area was very little known.

Photographing the sunset at Delicate Arch has been on The top of my list for years. On a recent trip through Utah I spent 3 days in Arches NP and Canyonlands NP and this was my top priority. Although conditions were not ideal, it's an experience that I will never forget.

This is the second of two dandelion shots I took under the same set up, same background, varying only the lighting arrangement. The other image is titled "Twins".

Beauty after the rain-cropped

This one had only begun to open when I got it. Now it's fully open and looks so delicate and such a pale Yellow.

Taken with a very upset 2 yr old jumping on my back, with a handheld reversed 50mm lens up against my 40d body. Poor man's macro, it's called. Thanks, mo, for getting me hooked on this :-P
