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 :)

I was digging around my archive when i found this shot, and i could not believe i had not uploaded it to my old flickr, it's such a beauty...
Speaking of my old flickr, I'd like to point out for anyone who didn't see it yet, the gallery with the best captures from my old flickr.
Busy days, got an exam tomorrow... Statistics, ugh.
Have a great day everyone!
This another composition of this tiny mycena sp fungi taken a day later as it reveals more of the intricate detail of the gills .
"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."

Couldn't resist going back to the Clumber Park greenhouse to capture this beautiful, delicate flower again.
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.
An evening at the Delicate Arch with the beautiful ice-capped La Sal Mountains in the back.
Me being fluffy had a serious butt kicking while 'climbing' the hike for this natural marvel. It was well above my health grade but nonetheless I climbed it just to take a picture. 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. My wonderful wife was next to me and looked unbothered with all the elevation, hardly giving out a drop of sweat. It sucked!
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!). As the sun went down I clicked almost 500 shots and still had to browse through them. I loved the two cotton candy flakes of clouds emanating from the horizon giving a third dimension to the majesty of the Arch.
In retrospect I think photography is the best thing that has happened to me, won't regret any moment spent behind the camera!
It's not easy to get a unique composition of Delicate Arch these days, but I did what I could.
Excited to display this piece in Moab next week!

Eichendorff dichtete: „… die müssen verzaubert sein, denn Vater und Mutter sind lange tot, was blühn sie hier so allein?“
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...

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.
