Mute Swan. Best Viewed Large On Black The Mute Swan is reported to mate for life. However, changing of mates does occur infrequently, and swans will remate if their partner dies. If a male loses his mate and pairs with a young female, she joins him on his territory. If he mates with an older female, they go to hers. If a female loses her mate, she remates quickly and usually chooses a younger male. IMG_5772

I'm getting on a National Park fix with the Yosemite trip nearing, so I decided to break into the archive and edit some shots from the previous parks that I have visited.
When we visited Arches it was almost an after thought. We spent the night in Canyonlands, and since we were so close we had to see Arches as well. We didn't have much time to spend, and it was very hot, but we did the short hike to Delicate Arch. I'm glad we saw it, but next time I would like to spend more time here hiking and photographing this beautiful park.
View a 360 of Delicate Arch here.
Often regarded as the most beautiful arch in the world, Delicate Arch stands 65 feet (20m) above the steep sandstone formations below. Delicate Arch is the most recognizable feature of Arches National Park and is an icon of the state of Utah. The Delicate Arch was formed from Entrada Sandstone which was gradually worn away by weathering and wind erosion over millions of years. Delicate Arch is accessible through a moderate 1.5 mile (2.4km) hike up steep slickrock and around narrow rock ledges. On the horizon lies the snow-capped La Sal Mountains which contrasts the deep colors of the surrounding Entrada Sandstone.
“A weird lovely fantastic object out of nature, like Delicate Arch, has the curious ability to remind us — like rock and sunlight and wind and wilderness — that out there is a different world, older and greater and deeper by far than ours” – Edward Abbey

I was going through several thousand photos today from the past year or so and came across this very intriguing shot of rime ice we had one morning last December. Everything outside was completely enveloped, creating a surreal effect... the needles were almost an inch long but extremely fragile! One touch- you couldn't help yourself- and they simply fell off their mount. Later that morning the air was filled with the delicate tinkle of millions of these tiny ice needles falling to the ground... I've never experienced anything else quite like this!

Early morning view towards the Pic de Rochebrune (3.324 m) from the summit of Mont Thabor (3.178 m), Massif des Cerces, France.
Moments of soft lights, low contrasts, imperceptible profiles and, above all, total silence.

Experimenting with a spray bottle and some new paper that I got for backgrounds--my muse may be back. Have a great Thursday.
I'm still trying to get all of my Utah trip pictures up. Another from Arches National Park. I like them all. Summer is a busy time though. Glad I was able to camp before it got too hot.
I'm still in awe every time I look at these shots. Our timing could not have been better. I'll probably never see it that good again.

Delicate arch right after sunset. The atmosphere was actually quite incredible there. A few people were sitting on the edge of this natural amphitheater to watch the sun go down on the horizon. You can see one of them there taking a picture. It gives a sense of scale I think.
Just before sunset. At least a couple of dozen people hung around for the sunset, but as you can see, the clouds were set at the horizon and they never opened up. So no fiery sky this time or much of an afterglow.
Delicate mushrooms [Hare's Foot Inkcap (Coprinopsis lagopus)], I discovered yesterday under a pine tree. I had the wrong lens with me, so I went back in the evening to try some close up shots, only to discover they had already withered.

If you've been following us for a while here or especially on tumblr, you'll know that we shoot in a lot of different formats, but like to save our very best for Flickr. This means there's a lot of medium format and Polaroids, with only the occasional 35mm film photo and even rarer, digital. It's tough trying to find a balance between what we post here while still keeping some coherence to our stream.
Sometimes though, we really love a photo, like this one, which may not necessarily fit in our usual 'style' - it's both digital and quite edited (we liked the shot but the colours didn't exactly fit), which we don't often post here but we couldn't help ourselves. Hopefully you like it too!

Normally, I would walk on by when a Noisy Miner interrupts my search for a more "desirable" subject, but I was intrigued by the focused, podiatric care being given to this ant's tiny toes!

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