No colour adjustment at all! Just a horizon straighten and a contrast boost :)
Great sunset tonight :)

Delicate like words
Delicate how time
So delicately runs
Then delicately dies
Delicate how eyes
So delicately breathe
Delicate like you my dear
Delicate like me my love
Delicate like you and
Delicate like me and
Delicate like
Delicate like you and me

These looked so delicate, pure, shy and elegant with their little flirty beauty marks.
Thanks for your visit and kind remarks.
P.S. I don't know their name, any help??!!!
Thank you champbass2: These are Snow Drops
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.
One from the archives...I took some shots last evening of the Bethlehem Stars (they just started blooming) but didn't transfer them yet. This is pretty cliche....close up of a flower with no purpose in the composition and some textures to make it more interesting. HCS!
Arches National Park is a true gem. On my quest to visit all 59 National Parks in the United States I hope that any of the other parks I come across are half as splendid as Arches. Yes, I used the word splendid. I notice that photographers really tend to gravitate towards icons that are already named, and that’s typically what I end up looking for as well. The trails are usually well-versed and the hikes are usually relatively short. Usually is the key word. The hike to Delicate Arch was anything but short, and I know there are other trails that are much longer in Arches… (I really wanted my wife to write her summary of the hike and trail to Delicate Arch because she really despised the hell out of it. But, I suppose I can have her write that up later with some of the photos that she took there instead.)
I’d like to start off by saying that the 1.1 mile hike to Delicate Arch is worth it. Bring Water. One liter for each person. Even in the evening when things cool down the hike can be quite exhausting. The first quarter mile of the trail head is well defined and quite calm. After that; good luck. They say that the vertical increase is 481 feet. I have no idea who measured that, but thank you. It honestly feels like 1,000 feet. The path starts to become more of an open race to the top once you meet the slick rock. At this point you are following cairns. Cairns are rocks piled on top of rocks that sort of lead you to the next set of cairns. I’m sure you may have seen them and wondered what they were doing or what the purpose of said rock formations meant. You’ll think of me next time you see one. I know it.
After you reach the top of the slickrock it levels off a little bit. Then you reach the final pass. It’s a cliff hanger. Seriously. It’s a five foot wide walkway for about 100 feet to the viewing area of Delicate Arch. Once you’ve made the turn on the five foot wide path you’ve made it to Delicate Arch. Congratulations, Indy.
This arch is massive. Honestly a lot of photos including mine probably don’t showcase the massiveness of this arch. The interesting things I noticed while at Delicate were that people are crazy about taking their photo underneath the Arch. They can’t get enough of it. It was like collecting POGS all over again. The other thing is that the viewing area at Delicate is in a bowl shaped rock. This means that if you leave items unattended they will slide down the rock into the desert pit. It’s like the Sarlacc from Return of the Jedi. If I can relate it to Star Wars I will. Everything you see on TV usually does anyways.

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 do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've know
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do 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 sacred place
The look on your face is delicate
So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've know
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?
So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've know
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?

The Delicate arch trail is about 3 miles round trip and although there are no people in this shot, there was quite a crowd gathered around the arch to catch the sunset with scores of photographers all around waiting for that right moment when the arch is free of people posing under it.
Comments and critique highly appreciated. Thanks for viewing
Love these pink flowers with their delicate patterns. Likely a garden escape, but it comes up every year in the woods.
Delicata speranza annienta pensieri di tristezza.
Distruggi le crepe fragili e aride.
Immenso bagliore,
rischiara l'Anima mia,ne ha bisogno.
This is a very iconic arch in Arches National Park and typically visited at sunset for photographers but we weren't disappointed with a morning sunrise visit.
-29C = -20.2F
-33C = -27.4F
We hit -31C and -40C windchill at half past midnight this morning, 15 January 2020.
Wednesday, 15 January 2020: our temperature shortly after noon is -29C (windchill -33C). It may well have been a degree or two colder, earlier. Sunrise is at 8:33 am, sunset at 4:58 pm. We were in a brutal, dangerous deep freeze over the weekend and it is forecast to continue all this week. Sunday is forecast to have a high of -8C (windchill -12C) and, after that, things look like they will improve. Temperatures not to mess with at the moment - if you don't absolutely have to go out, be wise and stay home. It amazes me that schools have not closed down. We will all be so relieved when this frigid spell is over. Of course, compared to what people and wildlife in Australia have been going through the last few months, and continue to have to suffer, a comparatively short deep freeze is nothing. The wildfire situation in Australia is just devastating and heart-wrenching.
I am adding the description that I wrote under another photo taken the same day.
"I suspect the mushroom season is over, as I went to Brown-Lowery Provincial Park yesterday afternoon, 20 September 2015. The grasses and plants have withered and, along with fallen leaves from the deciduous trees, have covered anything that might just be hiding underneath. The very few fungi that I did see were mostly old and definitely not photogenic. Most of my photos came out blurry, too. This may have been the last time I go there this year, unless I go there just for the exercise. No sign of the American Three-toed Woodpeckers. I didn't see many birds on this drive, either, not a single raptor, and mainly Magpies. Can't wait for next spring!!"
I'm not sure if this is Lichenomphallia umbellifera. If it is, then the information below would apply.
"Once again, I am turning to a great online resource - Doug (dougwaylett). I have looked on several websites for information on Lichenomphalia, but anything I found was far too technical for me to understand. Doug has explained more simply how this little beauty is both a Lichen and a Mushroom. Hope you don't mind, Doug!
"Lichenomphallia umbellifera 'Lichen Agaric/Mushroom Lichen' is a fungus/lichen that is almost always found growing on a rotting log that is coated with algae. Lichenomphallia is a genus of lichenized Basidomycetes or club fungi which has spores produced on club-shaped basidia. The lichen fungus resembles a mushroom and the algae are concentrated in special tissues or lobes at the base of the fruiting body. This plant is found in both books on Lichens and books on Mushrooms usually under the genus Omphalina." Doug Waylett.
Thanks so much, Tatiana (ressaure) for the ID - Lichenomphalia."
Closer crop than previous daffodil photo, I really enjoy the way the petals look when lit from behind. Natural light. Converted using Amanda's BW light-toned action.
I believe it was a little over a mile incline hike to get to delicate arch and there were thunderstorms all around the whole afternoon so i wasn't expecting much of a glorious sunset. However, once i reached the arch i had a 2 minute window to take this shot as the sun poked out of the storm clouds just before dipping below the horizon.

Delicate Arch is a 65-foot-tall (20 m) freestanding natural arch located in Arches National Park near Moab, Utah, USA. 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
