Catching glimpses of urban life from the edge of the curb. One step away from total shoe submersion.

Automne romantique
L'Automne s'alanguit
Prés des coteaux rougis
De pourpre, ocre doré,
Terre de Sienne brûlée.
Dans la brume parée
De longs voiles mouillés,
Les buissons rabougris
Etonnés et ravis,
Ecoutent les violons
De l'arrière saison
Chanter leur mélodie
Au poète endormi.
Les arbres dans le vent
Sont artistes géants,
Assis dans les bruyères
En habits de lumière ;
De leurs archets de pluie,
Ils jouent en harmonie,
Leurs notes rondelettes
En fines gouttelettes...
La chanson se poursuit
Sur l'étang engourdi,
S'accrochant au passage
Aux portes des nuages.
L'Automne romantique
Se grise de musique
Et s'installe en rêvant
Dans la fraîcheur du temps.

"The greatest conquest is the conquest of fear.
The greatest courage is the courage to start over.
The greatest virtue is to care deeply.
The greatest ignorance is ignorance of beauty.
The greatest sin is indifference.
The greatest reward for a life well lived is to have no regrets."
-- Guy Tal, More than a Rock

Another image from an evening on the side of Mam Tor last week. I was tempted to clone out the parked cars but couldn't do it without making a mess so they get to remain!
Another shot from the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) stairwell at their new building on Princes Wharf No.1 Shed.
I've been meaning to photograph these stairs for a while now for my University staircase project, and just pulled over on my way home from a site visit.
Where stairwells become art!
The stairs get a little more creative as you get near the top of Brady's Bluff. Trempealeau, Wisconsin.
Here's a trio of panorama shots taken from approximately the same spot that documents the change of seasons. The view looks across Wildwing Lake toward the boardwalk that runs along the edge of the lake at Kensington Metropark, near Milford, Michigan.
The three shots, top to bottom respectively, were taken on Oct. 13, 2020, when the waters were aglow with reflections of autumn; Dec. 2, 2020, when the lake was beginning to freeze; and Jan. 29, 2021, when a layer of snow covered the frozen winter lake. Two clicks on the image takes you in for a close look at the details.

I have nice memories of this spot. We were on the descent from the high-altitude trail to the village of Baad, when we stopped for a rest on a bench. I noticed the lone trees on the mountains in front of us (see my previous photo) and it's where I not only spotted but could also capture the elusive Purple Emperor butterfly!
This adult Sandhill Crane is poised to rapidly descend to land at Creamer's Field during the Sandhill Crane Festival. I find this position to be rather interesting as they can quickly come down without having to flap their wings until they're just ready to touch down and then a couple of flaps just above the ground to brake for a soft landing.
Taken 21 August 2021 at Creamer's Field, Fairbanks, Alaska.
On the descent from Cader Idris to Ty Nant I noticed these foxgloves, the drystone wall and the gate ...
