When I first 'rounded the corner' and this came into view, I was blown away by how large it is - 52 feet high!
I believe that there is a subtle magnetism in Nature, which,
if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us aright.
~Henry David Thoreau
Have a wonderful start to your week everyone :)

"creativity is so delicate a flower that praise tends to make it bloom, while discouragement often nips it in the bud. any of us put out more and better ideas if our efforts are truly appreciated."

American Avocets (Recurvirostra americana) are my favorite bird. Their dainty legs and delicate bills captivated me the first time I ever saw a photo of one. With the breeding season fast approaching, avocets transition from their drab winter plumage to their stunning breeding colors-- complete with russet heads and sky-blue legs. The breeding season also means that the majority of these birds leave their wintering grounds on the coast and head northwest. I was dreaming of capturing some of these gorgeous birds with my camera, so I made the long drive down to the Outer Banks of North Carolina to a spot that I have had luck at before, hoping to find some stragglers in breeding plumage before they left on their migration. Sometimes, dreams do come true...

Esta hembra de Orthetrum cancellatum está en la última fase de la emergencia, solo falta conseguir el tamaño definitivo el abdomen, desplegar las alas y terminar de secarlas para iniciar el primer vuelo.
Es un momento delicado por lo indefenso que es el individuo ante cualquier ataque e incluso a una ráfaga de viento fuerte.

This female of Orthetrum cancellatum is in the last phase of the emergency, just missing the final size of the abdomen, deploy the wings and finish drying to start the first flight.
It is a delicate moment for how helpless the individual is in the face of any attack and even a strong gust of wind.
Full frame, without cuts.

Eichendorff dichtete: „… die müssen verzaubert sein, denn Vater und Mutter sind lange tot, was blühn sie hier so allein?“
It was a memorable moment during a trip to the Delicate Arch began a real storm with rain and hail, but I still took a few pictures.
Publish here the most successful short in my opinion.

I always find it amazing in nature how small delicate things like this survive and grow on rocky, windy shorelines.....Forillon National Park, Gaspe
Found this plant along the edge of the pond while taking pictures of the sunset. The golden glow is the reflection of the sunset on the pond.
I took this photo of the inside of a flower that is called "The Bread Flower"
because this is the flower usually bends over and the small tree has fruits similar to breads.
I found it so delicate and mysterious.. and also very feminine,
So delicate,
So mysterious,
So gorgeous...

More anemones in my personal "from-spring-to-autumn" Anemone Collection.
Taken from the balloon on the overlook from the south side of Delicate Arch.
The balloon was only about 70' (20M) out, but enough to give a different perspective from here.
This is about 14 images stitched together in Autopano Pro, and then some touch up in Photoshop.
I was joined by Mark and his Nikon and Britnee. Only Mark didn't have his Nikon. He had some ancient analog medium format Mamiya. (Way cool.) You can see all three of us here. And the balloon made it in twice.
