I'm always surprised to see how delicate these guys are constructed, especially in the legs and talons.

 

Note: A couple of contacts have asked about how I created the BG. Actually, I never add a BG in PS. This BG is the natural bokeh created by the long wheat coloured grasses that surround the perch. I think it's the most interesting part of the image.

My second gorgeous, birthday rose bouquet! These roses are such a soft & delicate pink, very romantic!

An evening at the Delicate Arch.

 

Love of photography does a lot of crazy but wonderful things to your lifestyle. I can say I would have never even thought of going for this if not for capturing this monument in my camera. It was one tough hike! More like a climb!

 

But once I was on the top I loved every moment ogling at this wonderful Arch and all the Delicateness associated. It was majestic and appears to be built by aliens!

 

I took a spot after walking carefully on the slanting edges and waited out for the sunset. Eventually, I had almost a dozen photographs next to me (I choose a good spot!).

 

I took a series of shots in portrait orientation to cover as much ground as I can. This is a stitched panorama of 28 images done in photoshop. I blended the exposures in the stitched photographs and corrected for perspective and geometry. The elevation seen on the right side is for real and is dangerously steep to walk on!

 

In retrospect I think photography is the best thing that has happened to me, won't regret any moment spent behind the camera!

 

Gear: Nikon D810, Nikkor 16-35mm f4, f5.6, ISO 200, 1/500.

*happy delicate bokeh Wednesday*

As I don’t own a macro lens yet I bought myself some extension tubes and spent all yesterday afternoon trying Macro for the first time! How hard can it be? Very, for me anyway!!!

The Delicate Arch is 65-foot-tall (20 m) freestanding natural arch located in Arches National Park near Moab, Utah, USA.[1] It is the most widely recognized landmark in Arches National Park and is depicted on Utah license plates and on a postage stamp commemorating Utah's centennial anniversary of admission to the Union in 1996.

“Every dreamer knows that it is entirely possible to be homesick for a place you've never been to, perhaps more homesick than for familiar ground.” - Judith Thurman

Arches National Park, Utah, Aug 2016.

Life is a delicate and often precarious balance - trying to stay afloat despite moments and events that might otherwise pull us down. Holding on is sometimes the ultimate test of strength.

Flowers are those little delicate beacons of the sun from which we get sunshine when dark, somber skies blanket our thoughts.

 

~Dodinsky

I liked how the new leaves were pointing up to the sun and the old 'helicopters' were soon going to swirl down to the earth. Did you play with these as kids? We loved to throw them up in the air and watch them twirl to the ground.

Mark 10:27 KJV

It was a windy day with mixed cloud. When I walked up to the Delicate Arch, it was still overcast, but with enough openings for hope. The colours were subdued, but then this happened, I've never seen colour brighten and pop so quickly.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR FAVS AND LOVELY COMMENTS. THEY ARE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED

Arches National Park ,Utah, USA

After climbing a shade-free, hot slickrock incline for 1.5 miles, reaching 480 feet above the trailhead, Delicate Arch appeared, bathed in the diminishing light of the sunset, which cast a golden blanket across the deserts. This 68 foot tall arch stands mere feet from the edge of a hundred foot canyon, which only justifies the name further. Although this is the most famous arch, audible gasps, as well as deep silence, fell upon the dozens of spectators watching the sunset over the desert.

I love coming across patches of delicate ice formations and this area was along the edge of a very tiny creek in Griffith Woods three days ago, on 10 February 2014. It always seems so wrong if one has to walk over an area like this, destroying all those amazingly formed crystals.

 

Yesterday, after my volunteer shift, I called in at a shopping centre to see if a small computer store was still in existence. A number of years ago, they did such a good job of transferring all the data from one computer to a new one for me. The time to go through all this has again rolled around and I was hoping so much that the same store would be there. I was so relieved to find it and now have to face the nerve-wracking time of getting used to a new machine (with Windows 7, not 8!). My new computer is still in its box (since late December), waiting for the day when I finally get myself sufficiently organized to bring it out, and that day is almost here. Really, really hoping it won't be too difficult to set up and then work out how to use it. Guessing it will be maybe three days or so that I will be without a computer, so when I suddenly "disappear" next week, you will know the reason : )

 

Today, a plumber is coming to install a new kitchen tap and replace a bathroom sink and tap. I had no idea that my bathroom sink was metal and apparently the pipe beneath has completely rusted and is slowly leaking. And to think I thought that all I would need would be three new washers, lol! Shopping for new taps and clearing out the cupboards under both sinks has left me with less time recently, but this will be a good thing done.
