Decía el escritor chino Lin Yutang que “la mitad de la belleza depende del paisaje, y la otra mitad del hombre que lo mira”, una percepción tan personal como difícil de transmitir a otras personas.
Lo saben quienes fomentan la meditación de contemplar el lento paso de las nubes, cerrar los ojos frente al mar, o los nostálgicos que se detienen bajo una cuerda con ropa tendida en un pueblo mediterráneo.
La ropa tendida suspira al mundo la intimidad de tantas familias, casas, ciudades y países.
Una de las ‘Mecas’ de la ropa tendida es Burano, cerca de Venecia. En esta pequeña y colorida isla secar la ropa es una especie de arte. De hecho, a menudo el color de la ropa coincide con el color de la pared.

Un mismo lugar puede destilar diferentes emociones dependiendo de las circunstancias que te hagan estar allí. Todo es importante, todo cuenta: la presencia de otras personas o su ausencia, si fue el sol o una envolvente luna la que dibujó sus formas, si las risas estuvieron presentes o si las palabras se ahogaron en un sonoro y respetuoso silencio de despedida.
"Entre ahora y ahora
entre yo soy y tú eres
la palabra puente.
Entras en ti misma
al entrar en ella:
como un anillo
el mundo se cierra.
De una orilla a otra
siempre se tiende un cuerpo,
un arcoiris.
Yo cantaré por sus repechos,
yo dormiré bajo sus arcos."
(Octavio Paz)
It is amazing how feathers change colours depending on the angle of the light, hummingbirds are no exception. I did not notice until editing that this hummingbird has an abnormal eye, (the one facing the camera}. I believe it is blindin this eye and yes...that is it's tongue.
Handsome, medium-size hummingbird of humid tropical lowlands. Favors forest edge, second growth, gardens in some areas. Feeds low to high and often comes to feeders. Can be difficult to distinguish from Buff-bellied Hummingbird, which favors drier habitats. Rufous-tailed has a dingier, grayish belly and more extensive rusty on the tail, which lacks the distinct fork often shown by Buff-bellied’s tail.

Upon that short time, eternity depends!
(Jeremy Taylor)
"You sweep men away in the sleep of death; they are like the new grass of the morning--though in the morning it springs up new, by evening it is dry and withered." Psalm 90:5-6
"The length of our days is seventy years--or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away." Psalm 90:10
God has given to man a short time here on earth--and yet upon that short time, eternity depends!
"So teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." Psalm 90:12
Le château d’Esquelbecq a la forme d’un grand quadrilatère flanqué de huit tourelles. Un liseré de pierres blanches le ceinture à mi-hauteur et aurait pour signification la haute puissance des seigneurs du lieu. L’édifice, auquel on accède par deux ponts, est entouré de douves.
On suppose qu’un premier château en bois a existé dès le 9ème siècle afin de protéger des invasions nordiques mais rien ne prouve qu’il existait à l’endroit actuel. La dernière restauration générale du château date de 1606, date que l’on pouvait lire sur le donjon avant son effondrement. Cette restauration permit de rajouter de nombreuses fenêtres dans les murs dont l’épaisseur dépasse parfois 1 mètre en certains endroits de leur base.
Depends which side of the fence you stand, The largest golf resort in Utah is being built in a serious drought area. If you stand for conservation of resources your on the other side.
2,24 Billion dollar pipline 140-mile from Lake Powell to St George, Utah
The LPP is a proposed 140-mile, 69-inch-diameter water delivery pipeline that begins at Lake Powell near Glen Canyon Dam in Page, Arizona, and ends at Sand Hollow Reservoir near St. George, Utah.
Red and Twig waiting for the launch of the tennis balls. Depending on which way they're thrown, one of them has got a head start lol!!!!
Or Pumpkin Load depending on where you came from!
Back in the old days a Punkin Load was a single log load that was big enough to bring the trailer up to weight. This was back in the days of the big timber, back when old growth was still plentiful.
Definitely not something you would ever see today, everything coming out of the woods today is match sticks compared to the days of old!
Just an old photo that I cleaned up as best as I could considering the age!
Posting this very late, or early depending on how you think of it, 1:30 am. Should be sleeping but decided to see if the Milky Way could be seen from my location tonight. Near Murdo South Dakota at a decommissioned State Scale. Besides a little traffic very dark and a clear sky, tons of stars visible. Even with the naked eye you can barely see the Milky Way. (when you know where to look) I was in bed about to sleep when I decided to check the SkyView app and see if the Milky Way might be visible. Not the greatest Milky Way shot, shutter a little too long so the stars are not round. Only able to take a couple of shots, the intermittent traffic messed up a couple of tries, and then the wind began to blow and my tripod was not staying steady enough. Anyway, pretty happy with how it came out, imperfect as it is.
The foreground, farm and lake was taken in Minnesota off I-94 on the 4th of this month. So if you're looking at my camera settings that's why they don't make sense. They were for the day time shot of the farm. Used Luminar 4 to add my Milky Way, and Light Room to put some Milky Way reflections on the lake.
I've been visiting a few of you each day, will keep doing that. So far it looks like you've all been staying safe, at least those of you I've had a chance to visit. Hope that's the case for all of you.
On my way to SoCal, then home later next week for a few days.
(wow, slow internet out here, about 5 minutes to upload)

This is one of six abstract pieces in progress.
Fragmentation and wholeness seem to be a strong theme in these works.
It's a way of working, no script, no plan ...
just feeling, responding and interacting with the forms taking shape through the familiarity of process.

Depending on how you look at this image, it may resonate differently with each of you. It's a focus stacked, blend to get the details and light correct. Could this be done in one shot, yes, the scene could be shot in one shot but it would be impossible to get the details and exposure all in one shot... So, I put the camera inside the old cabin, focus stacked the window frame and then took another shot for the mountain and other cabin. Then later that night I shot the milky way as it was setting over the mountain and blended it into the focus stacked scene to create the final image... That being said, this is an image/scene I plan to re-shoot. After talking with a friend about how to shoot this and get the window frame squared up, it's given me some ideas and I'd like to try it again so the window frame isn't askew...
I hope you all have a great weekend.
This Christmas bauble was hand beaded with sequins and pins by me. I have a Christmas tradition. I bead Christmas baubles for a select group of friends every year. In this case they are for a friend, who like me, elects red as her favourite colour, but also likes gold, white, black and silver accents for her tree.
Each bauble is 15 centimetres in diameter and contain hundreds of sequins, varying in number depending upon the complexity of the pattern and the type of sequins I use. Most sequins in this bauble are 5mm in diameter, except the large star sequins which are 6mm, the sunburst sequins which are 12 mm and the small stars which are 3mm and very fiddly. The sunburst sequins are French and are known as "éclate de soleil" - "sunbursts". Depending upon the colour of the sequin, I will use either a gold or a silver pin to attach it to the bauble. I always leave the stars until last, allowing a gap in the sequin chain to pin them in.
These baubles are smaller than some others I do, however because it is a complex pattern which starts from the inside and is worked outwards in ever larger circles, each bauble takes approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours per side.
It is however, a labour of love which I do to pass the time throughout the year.
Not always landscape photography depends on nice colours and in nature you must be able to take nice photos even in bad weather conditions.
In our recent trip to Iceland we planed to visit Hengifoss a nice waterfall located in the north-east of the island to take some shots. There is a trail of 2,5 km to reach the point and conditions were not very good, it was cold, cloudy and rainy and even more the trail includes a cumulated elevation of 250 m with hard ramps in the beginning. Finally we were able to complete the trail and take some shots under the rain. This is the result, obviously there are no oranges and reds in the sky but the place transmitted calm and serenity.

Everybody has different approach to a photographic composition. You may approach a composition in different ways, depending on how it catches the eye. You may see the subject from a far, approach and circle it doing little framing actions with the hands looking for the right angle, position and elevation. One may instantly see the potential and hover backwards and forwards trying to find a good stance for the tripod. Let’s face it the ways are endless, they say creativity feeds the soul. However with this scene all I was interested in was a tazza e caffe. I was attracted to this fallen tree las potential for parking my bum, I was tired I needed a coffee and a snack and this trunk was as good a place as any. However I was not totally thoughtless in my approach, just as I would be very careful on where I placed my feet in wet sand, here I was extra vigilant on the surrounding vegetation, pity I didn’t have the same idea about the frost covered tree trunk. Maybe I should have dealt with my carelessness with Lightroom, but where’s the fun in that, can anyone see where I was sitting?
Summarit-M40mm conversion lens on M10-D.
In the end, I think I'll settle on this style... (A spare rubber hood and cap for the C40mm that I had stored in my toolbox. Depending on the aperture and distance, the corners may be slightly vignetted, but I don't mind it that much. (^^ゞ)
Shall be posting an Image a day for the next year, 365 (or 366 if it is a Leap year...not checked!!).
The Format will be different...some images have been shown before, some are new...... At the moment I am now starting a "New" Project.....Well it is "New" for me, although it has been done before by many, many People too!!!.
I will follow the direction I have chosen but there is plenty of room for me to chop and change at a later date...I guess it depends how I feel about it at a later date.
This Project will now give me the time to work with other ideas I am playing with. There will still be months in which I post other pics too from themes I have worked with in the past......I have just made a little more time and space available to me.
So hope you like the changes.....
Depending which source you read, the Campanone tower rises between 52 to 56 meters high, by no means an impossible mission to climb, and once at the top, the view is stunning! Here, on the side facing north-west, the view of San Vigilio hill which by itself is a splendid vantage point on the old city.

March. Depending on when the second surgery is scheduled. Going to be an interesting few months . left eye first then the right . Not going to be able to do anything after surgery. Have so many can not do's for the next 2 weeks. I am probably going to be walking the walls. They said I can drive after 24 hrs but there are restrictions .
These lovely flowers bloom from August to October but occasionally they can continue flowering into November depending on the weather. The leaves of the plant are quite short but the flowers grow up to 30ins high and they enjoy being planted in part shade, if the rhizomes are disturbed they seem to grow new growth very quickly. Overall, a lovely splash of colour in late summer.
Depending on whether you measure the depth of the canyon from the highest mountain peak directly at the canyon to the Río Colca or from the edge of the canyon,
the Colca Canyon is between 3,400 m and 1,200 m deep.
Like any old mining town, Clifton depended on the railroad which runs through the middle of town.
Clifton, Arizona, USA. Once a booming copper mining town but now mostly declining or already in decay and the majority of people and business have moved just up the road to Morenci. The Freeport McMoRan copper mine located in Morenci is one of the largest in the world
Cliff dwellings along the San Francisco and Gila Rivers are evidence of an advanced civilization that existed long before Caesar ruled Rome. Many specimens of pottery and stone implements are still to be found in these ancient dwelling places. In the mid-1500s, both Fray Marcos de Niza and Francisco Vasquez de Coronado passed through the area, following the San Pedro north to the Gila River. Geronimo was born in 1829 near the confluence of Eagle Creek and the San Francisco and Gila Rivers.
In 1856 the first mineral discoveries of the Morenci/Clifton area were found by California volunteers pursuing Apaches, and conflicts between the Apaches and advancing Anglo settlers touched off a 26-year-long war. Mining for gold and silver began in 1864, followed by copper in 1872, and the mine at Morenci quickly grew to become the largest copper producer in North America. Clifton's population ballooned from 600 in 1880 to 5000 by 1910, and it quickly earned its reputation as the wildest of the "Wild West" boomtowns. Neighboring Morenci was swallowed up by an open pit mine in the 1960s, but Clifton was preserved, and today Chase Creek Street is still graced with lovely Victorian-era buildings from the town's halcyon days as the place to quickly make and lose a fortune.
In 1983, Clifton survived two nearly fatal blows, first a nearly three-year-long strike that began on June 30, 1983. Then later that same year, on October 2, 1983, Tropical Storm Octave sent 90,900 cubic feet of water per second into the San Francisco River, which burst its banks, destroying 700 homes and heavily damaging 86 of the town's 126 businesses

Depending on which backroad I take I sometimes see this old weathered barn. The farmer uses it for storage. I guess the roof doesn't leak.
The Atlantic puffin’s plumage depends on whether or not it is breeding. In fact, the appearance change is so dramatic that it was once believed it was two different species. This species is most recognizable while in breeding season, sporting its iconic black and white plumage with a black, yellow and orange bill. In winter, when breading season is over, the plumage and bill turns drab with a darker-colored face, especially around its eyes. In late winter and into spring, the bird becomes temporarily flightless as new feathers on its tail and wings replace the old feathers.
The Atlantic puffin is around 25 centimeters long. Males tend to be slightly larger than females. Its body shape and webbed feet have adapted to diving and swimming underwater.
