I dont know if i will ever get to see a more beautiful balcony, it is part of a newly built Haveli opposite olden goldie Patwon ki haveli in Jaisalmer city. The tradition to create "Delicate Corners" has been continued to this day by the natives of Jaisalmer the past hundreds of years.
I'm not sure what these are (perhaps a just blooming bear grass) but they were beautiful and delicate. And I had an unexpected visitor in the shot as well. Another pic will show a bit more

You've got to love the classics. There were about 20 other folks snapping shots, waiting for the "magic minute" before the sun set.

I enhanced the dreaminess of these tiny blossoms with soft focus and a subtle texture by French Kiss.

Going back through the archives again in search of warmer times in light of fresh super cold weather and the first new snow in 2 weeks today here in Calgary.
This shot was taken back in Autumn of 2012 when I spotted these delicate red blossoms peeking through the chain links of a backyard fence in my neighborhood.
I am not sure of the species of flower, can anyone help me out?
Hope you are all having a great weekend so far!

A day at Delicate Arch in Arches National Park, Utah.
Delicate Arch, featured on the Utah license plate is probably the most popular natural arch in the country. I've seen this arch as the countless subject of innumerable photos, but it's always the arch standing majestically alone and seemingly undisturbed against a dramatic sky or under the milky way. It gives you the impression that few are out enjoying these natural landmarks.
But reality couldn't be further from the truth. This was my first trip to some of the more popular destinations in the midwest. Here in our parks in West Virginia, you may encounter only a dozen or so people even on the most popular trails. It's few enough to briefly take you out of an isolated nature state of mind when you do see people or catch a whiff of perfume out in the woods. However, at Arches, Bryce Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, etc there's always enough people, everywhere that you never feel isolated. With shuttle buses, sometimes requiring hours of waiting, taking people throughout the parks, single file unbroken lines of people on the trails, and literally waiting in line with a number of other photographers to get those iconic lone, majestic landmark shots.
The national parks have become a veritable Disney Land, that was the first thought that came to mind. It was very frustrating to see, at first. However, when you step back to think about it and reflect on the words of John Muir, in some ways, wasn't this the goal with the National Parks? To not only preserve nature but to give everyone an outlet to get out and enjoy these sites? Until Ansel Adams brought his photos taken out west for the world to see, people who had only lived on the East Coast had no idea that places like Yosemite existed and would have given little thought of its preservation.
Today, the world is smaller and everything is more accessible. A journey toward far away lands that once took a month to reach, often times arriving with only a fraction of the party you began with, now can take a day to reach by car or plane. Why look at a photograph when you can go there? How many times have you told someone that the photograph only tells half the story, it was really something you just had to be there to see for yourself to appreciate the impact? If people in Ansel Adams day could be moved by photographs toward the desire to preserve these places, how fervent will that desire be when they actually have the opportunity to SEE them in person?

Delicate Fur Eyelashes
Our Granddaughter turned one years old this week so I took a few photos for her parents as a keepsake for her 18th birthday Time Capsule :)

From : Catcher In My Eye :)
Fur Eyelashes
I watched her little face sleeping,
Fur eyelashes fluttering so,
I wondered of the dreams she was having,
And where her mind's eye goes...
I watched her little face sleeping,
Listening to her breathe,
I prayed to God to keep her safe,
And give her grace and peace.

That delicate forest flower,
With scented breath and look so like a smile,
Seems, as it issues from the shapeless mould,
An emanation of the indwelling Life,
A visible token of the upholding Love,
That are the soul of this great universe
-William Cullen Bryant-
As the Royal Pavilion is undergoing restoration work visitors are warned not to get too close to the building. We were told off by the watchful security people manning the CCTVs for sitting on the building's delicate steps - more boorish than moorish
Delicate Arch at Arches National Park. After a moderately difficult hike up to the arch we gathered with the horde of people for sunset. This was the only time I was able to get a "clean" shot without people. What a spectacular scene for the arch that was supposed to be named Skyline Arch (there was a mixup a long time ago). One of the truly beautiful sunsets you can capture in Arches.

37/365 February 6th. Delicate threads of ice amongst today's snow. Snow is pretty rare for my area and it caused quite a flurry (pun totally intended) ;)
