A lovely Iris I encountered walking up in the Berkeley Hills in January. Sweet, unassuming, delicate, with soft colors, and very pretty.
delicate moments —
… ocean, palm trees, cocktails, sunset, elegance, kisses, dinner, wine, candle light, passion, shadows on walls, moon light in room, music, silhouettes dancing, reality vs. illusions, summer wind moves curtains, gin tonic, chin chin, obsession, stars, hugs, hovering, dreaming awake, soul, love, sunrise …
With All My Love — Peter Pearson
To walk a delicate path,
along a transient moment in time,
realization that but a soft breath,
delivers the unfortunate fateful blow,
igniting the autumn fire within,
sealing ones fate along that ever delicate path.
Following the dew drops along this beautiful Autumn morning rose leaf. The third photo from the "Autumn Inspirations I" series.
Thanks for the favs and kind compliments!
As expected, there were hundreds of people surrounding this most famous arch awaiting for sunset!
I had no expectation of getting a unique composition on Delicate Arch before arrival, compounded by the huge crowds, gusty wind and cold temperature, I just wanted to get out of there and hike back before losing the last of light.
This shot was taken through Twisted Doughnut Arch, one of the most unique spots to take a photo of this massive and most photographed arch.
Thank you for your visit and kind support, wishing you a happy Sunday! 💕😘
PS: I'm on a road trip, will catch up with you when I have time, energy and a fast internet!😊
Macro Mondays: My Closest
This is yet another "fève", from my mother's treasure box. It is probably the finest and loveliest of her collection.
Another one of my pictures and tiny contribution, for the 2Lei, Stop Violence against Women exhibition.

Thank you Doc and Megan for giving me a hand, in setting up my humble little scene ♥
TP:
Delicate Arch can be viewed from upper viewing point, which is about a half mile hike up a hill. Well worth the climb, especially if you're unable to make it up to Delicate Arch itself. The arch is one of the main and most popular of the attractions at this park. The rangers allow you to walk onto the slickrock as long as you do not walk on non-rock surfaces. Sun down time, ended onto a plateau where the arch appeared almost like a vision, the deep cliffs under my foot…

The giant tortoise is one of the most iconic animals in the Galapagos. El Chato reserve on the Santa Cruz island is home to hundreds of these gentle giants - the perfect place to see them in their natural habitat. It is also an interesting place birds: Darwin tree and ground finches fly between the trees, while yellow warblers add a touch of color to the scene.
A wonderful young beech displays a delicate display of yellow at the edge of a conifer army. Always love exploring the transition area between the wild wood and the regimented conifers. Taken at Barnes's Grove, Buckinghamshire.
Happy Birthday Joyce!
Have a beautiful day!

Gotas de vida
Clematis aristata, conocida como clemátide australiana, clemátide silvestre, barba de cabra o barba de anciano, es un arbusto trepador de la familia Ranunculaceae,
This delicate beauty was sitting one summer on a flower, and I found it so beautiful. I have not really an idea what kind of butterfly species this is - maybe a small copper?

This is obviously Delicate Arch. The most photographed arch on the planet. I think that every photographer would like to stand under it at least once in his or her lifetime. This was shot on the evening of day 4 of the Southwest Tour.
Wayne and I decided to head up there despite his reservations about the rumored scene, usually packed with people around the arch preventing a clean shot. He was quite right about the scene. We were hearing stories about the scene before we had even arrived, people were telling us that there were camera crews from the BBC shooting time-lapse videos. Immediately I had a bad feeling, after some time we did arrive in the bowl that surrounds the arch and It was quite busy, even at 10:00pm. The first comment I heard walking into view of everybody was, "I'll be shooting time-lapse from 10-12pm don't plan on doing anything with it. Great I thought to myself, Wayne was right, but we just shrugged it off and and found an acceptable spot to set-up. We went about our business setting up tripods and such when another photographer above us spoke up saying that he had the arch for his light painting technique, which fired up the cameraman from the BBC and he told the guy what-for if you know what I mean. The other broke into a full blown tirade that echoed around the whole bowl including some choice profanities and about how he has a gallery and has been waiting 4 days for this shot. Meantime while these guys were arguing I snuck around the far bowl and set-up one of my light panels and aimed it right at the backside of the arch. When I turned it on I immediately heard some oohs and awes of support from several of the photographers looking through their viewfinders. Then wayne set-up a mini lantern in the foreground, and again we heard noises of acceptance, This aggravated the upper photographer because he was losing control of the mob which were all happy with what we were setting up. Then Wayne says, it's not enough, we need another light from down the cliff on the far back side and then proceeded to pull out a fishing pool. I thought he was losing it, what are you doing with a fishing pool. He attached another smaller panel to it and "fished" it over the edge into the darkness. After some finessing he managed to get it pointed up under the arch and again we heard 'ya that's it don't move it' from the BBC guy. Tempers flared again and I spoke up saying that "we are all adults here trying to get the same shot so lets get along. After talking with the upper guy we decided that at 10:30 we would shut off our panels so that he could do his thing which was random light painting. We had setup a constant lighting scenario which is much better as it allows consistency throughout a series of photos say for a panorama. We did our thing and everybody shot our set-up except upper camera guy. I told him if he switched to a really cool white balance he might like what he sees and he did, When I went to shut off the panels he said we could leave them on while he did his painting, I think he liked what he saw through his viewfinder as well.
When we were done, Wayne and I started to wrap up our gear when the loud upper camera guy asked if he could walk out with us, at 12:00 am in the dark. I was alarmed to say the least, as we headed off down the trail back to the cars, he apologized for his behavior as we walked, and after talking with him for some time I could see his point of view. I'm just glad it all worked out, and as a side bonus the BBC filmed Wayne and I running around the arch setting up the lights. That's they're camera in the foreground.
For more about the story see Wayne's commentary below.

Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my photos and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great weekend everyone :)
Snowdrop flowers emerging from the cold ground are one of the first signs that spring is approaching. It was once thought that their leaves were thermogenic, producing their own heat in order to melt through the snow. However, it is more likely a thermal effect of sunlight heating the tips of the leaves warmer than the surrounding snow. There is a tiny cobweb strung across from the stem to the flower.

Due diversissimi organismi mettono in evidenza, ad una osservazione ravvicinata, la loro seducente delicatezza. Quello vegetale è un fiore della banale e diffusissima gramigna (Elytrigia repens), i cui stami sembrano di zucchero. Quello animale è una damigella (Ischnura elegans) che ha scelto la spiga fiorale della gramigna come posatoio. Ambedue esprimono una bellezza speciale, che si coniuga e si somma, come sempre avviene in Natura ..... ..
