Learning so many things with each photo i take within this style of photography and all i can say is i am loving the journey.
Shots from Arches Park in Utah. The arch at the top of the ridge (delicate arch) is the most renowned of the parks arches.This shot was taken from about 1 mile away on the other side of the canyon.
Arches national park Utah. I first took snaps of this arch more than 20 years ago. Nobody was anywhere near the arch. Now people queue to pose, although for this shot no one was in the arch and all the vanished people were sat in the foreground.
The blossom time of the my apple trees in the garden is alwas a good possibility to take photos of honey bees. I love to watch them through my macro lens and to discover all kinds of details such as their beautiful wings.

I have been in love with this location for quite some time.
Those gorgeous and delicate yellow centered lavender blossoms were blooming over red rocks in one of my neighbors front yard flower gardens.
With the beautiful early evening sunlight hitting them (I was on my way home from work), they were wonderfully illuminated!

We might kiss when we are alone
When nobody's watching
We might take it home
We might make out when nobody's there
It's not that we're scared
It's just that it's delicate
So why'd you fill my sorrows
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known
And why'd ya sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why'd you sing with me at all?
We might live like never before
When there's nothing to give
Well how can we ask for more
We might make love in some secret place
The look on your face is delicate
So why'd you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place that you've known
And why'd you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why'd you sing with me at all?
And why'd you fill my sorrows
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place that you've known
Why'd you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why'd you sing with me at all?
Delicate Arch is a 65-foot-tall (20 m) freestanding natural arch located in Arches National Park near Moab, Utah, US. 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 statehood in 1996. The Olympic torch relay for the 2002 Winter Olympics passed through the arch. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delicate_Arch
This is one of the handful of telemacro shots, taken on 16 December 2014, that came out well enough to use. Such a pity, as the hoar frost on that day was so spectacular. The light, however, was so bad, as it was very cloudy and foggy.
On 16 December 2014, it was the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count for the town of High River. This town is SE of Calgary, roughly half an hour's drive from the southern edge of Calgary. My small group travelled in two cars, 8 people in total, and we covered the SE quadrant of the Count circle.
At the end of my description, I will add the report compiled by our leader, Gus Yaki. As usual, there were several of these sightings listed that I, myself, did not see. Also, I ended up with poor photos of most of the things that I did see. The day was absolutely beautiful, but the light was even worse than I had realized. The amazing hoar frost, that covered everything, surprisingly lasted pretty well the whole day - usually, it lasts only a very short time. So, even though the light wasn't good for photos, the hoar frost beauty stayed with us all day long - just breathtaking. For our drive down to High River, we had fog which, in patches, was quite thick. Wondered if we would see anything at all when we reached our area, ha. It was cold and damp, as well as foggy. In addition to that, some of the birds, such as the three Snowy Owls (I only saw two of them) were SO far away, there was no chance for photos, except an occasional one just for the record. Only 35 species were seen in the total for the complete Count circle.
Of course, as always happens, I just had to take photos of anything else that caught my eye, including several barns, cloud formations, farm cats, an old truck, scenery and so on.
At one of our stops, we were looking in the bushes/shrubs at the edge of a farm, where a Northern Saw-whet Owl had been sighted last Christmas Count. No luck with an owl, but one of the birders spotted a male Merlin very high up on a power pole. A short while later, it was spotted just down the road, perched on a fence post. Such a beautiful bird - but such lousy light!
We had finished our count by 5:00 pm, by which time it was, of course, completely dark. A few of us stayed for the delicious pot luck supper, mainly provided by the generous birding people down in High River. Lorrie and John gave a slide show of their recent trip to Africa. So many great shots of beautiful bird species that I have never seen. Thanks, Lorrie and John, for spending time going through all your slides at home and choosing a lovely selection for us. Many thanks, too, for driving Shirley and myself all day long!

Let’s do that magical little lift that brings so much joy. Not too rude though; this is a delicate task that can easily turn tasteless. Key is to go slow, act with grace and keep it elegant. Sweet subtle seduction, all in good taste. That’s the way I like it and I hope you like my style too.
Yes, the nights in the middle of Utah, like in Arches NP are really dark. This is a single shot, I only adjusted graduation and colors a little bit.
If you've got just a moment click on the photo to enjoy it enlarged on black background.
It is very rare for me to post more that one photo in a day, but then it is very rare for me to get some passable lightning shots.
If you haven't tried lightning shots before and would like to give it a shot (pun intended) just click here for a simple tutorial.
Thanks very much for viewing. Favs & meaningful comments are really appreciated and reciprocated.
This very delicate wildflower didn't last very long. the winds knocked the petals off very quickly. Processed with Topaz Detail
Alpenglow on Delicate Arch in Arches National Park. We missed the actual sunset and got a lot of smug looks from the other tripod bearors who proceeded to leave...but the real color came about 20 minutes later as we were kicking ourselves for missing sunset, and getting ready to go. The good light crept up on us and everything began to glow, and for 5 minutes, give or take, we had spectacular color. It's about a mile walk back down the slickrock to your vehicle, and a bit hairy in January. My brother went over the side on the icy shelf leading down the backside of this bowl, and luckily managed to catch himself before a drop of a good 20 feet or so that might have been disastrous. The cold didn't bother us much, as our adrenalin by that point was running pretty high.
