So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed from the only place you've known?

Catching up on some back shots from the beginning of the year.
Little Akaloa....Out and about with my Flickr and blip friend on Banks Peninsula. February 20, 2016, New Zealand.
It was warm and wonderful so we packed up a lunch and headed for the hills and bays around the banks peninsula. It reached will over 30c today.. a bit too hot at times and there was no wind at all.
The historic gem of Little Akaloa is a church hidden away among old trees, commanding a fine view down the bay. The present St Luke's replaced an earlier wooden church and was completed in November 1906. It has an "old world" English-looking exterior, with walls of pebble dash on concrete, a slate roof and a small well-proportioned bell tower.
The surprise is the interior, which is embellished with carvings of predominantly Maori motifs, many delicately executed on white stone. The rafters are decorated with Maori patterns and support an imitation raupo rush ceiling. The windows have stylised Maori designs in coloured glass.
The church was built (and partly paid for) by a local resident, J.H. Menzies, who was "an amateur carver of the very highest order". It is one of the country's early examples of the incorporation of Maori decorative motifs in a European building.

I live in Albuquerque, NM. The climate is very arid and the ecosystem is very delicate. It takes a special kind of plant/animal to survive here. The desert that runs through here is called the Chihuahuan Desert. It's high desert since we live on a mesa 5,000 feet above sea level. www.worldwildlife.org/places/chihuahuan-desert
Went to grab fresh parsley from a friend's garden and saw it flowering...
That reminded me of a qoute from Rachel Carson, a biologist, an environmentalist and a writer, "Some of nature's most exquisite handiwork is on a miniature scale, as anyone knows who has applied a magnifying glass to a snowflake."
... and in this case a parslay plant.
This week, I installed the latest version of Photomatix’s Plugin for Aperture (3.0.1) and knew it was time to revisit the icon of the National Parks, Delicate Arch in Arches National Park near Moab, Utah. I merged seven photos which covered -3EV to +3EV in 1 stop intervals and used the new Enhanced Photo 2 selection. Finished off processing back in Aperture to get the finished image.
Just a second shot from my visit to Delicate Arch in Arches National Park. This one shows the view to the left, without the dramatic sunset.
The best thing about this picture is that I took it at Wal-Mart. I walked out with this image for free, now that is a bargain.

Some things in the world are beautiful, that includes butterflies, my girlfriend and a good nights sleep. I'm hopefully off to get the latter right now as it is my first day as an Associate Editor tomorrow! Wish me luck everybody.

I will get back to all your streams as soon as I can.
