During the Winter and early Spring, California can be green and lush. This is from February, before the grass dries and turns yellow.
during a few weeks I will be less present on Flickr

During my 3 day stay at Elbe sandstone mountains, I was out every morning for sunrise, and the mood was different every day. This one is my favourite of the series, the classical view of Bastei stone bridge at sunrise.
During spring, wrens fight with other wrens to defend their territory, at this time they are very noisy and easy to photograph.
You can see how small they are in comparison with the branch.

During the Crane Festival, the lake Hornborga attracts thousands of visitors to see the cranes.
The cranes enter Trandansen at sunrise, where they spend the day eating and dancing and at sunset they go away to the lakes where they spend the night.
In Trandansen, the Crane Dance is the main event of the year.
Due to snow, on this day there were only 6,200 cranes in the lake.

during the months of jun – early september, bromo area is very cold, dry and vegetation at savanna switch it’s colors to brown. most of the time, the bottom of the mountains and the sea of sands are covered by clouds, as the blue sky is clear.
this image was taken in july last year.
still cant decide which one i like most…. clouds above? or clouds at the bottom?
During sunset, a cloud flew in in an amazing shape (a bird, a dragon, and maybe an angel ...)
A little understanding of the physics of cloud formation underscores the complexity of the atmosphere and sheds light on why predicting weather for more than a few days is such a challenge.
Six types of clouds you can see and how they can help you understand the weather.
1) Cumulus clouds - On a sunny day, rays warm the earth, which heats the air located directly above it. The heated air rises upward due to convection and forms cumulus clouds. These “good weather” clouds are like cotton wool. If you look at the sky filled with cumulus clouds, you can see that they have a flat bottom, located at the same level for all clouds. At this altitude, air rising from ground level cools down to the dew point. It usually doesn't rain from cumulus clouds, which means the weather will be good.
2) Cumulonimbus clouds.
Small cumulus clouds do not rain, but if they grow and grow in height, it is a sign that heavy rain is coming soon. This often happens in summer when morning cumulus clouds turn into cumulonimbus during the day. Cumulonimbus clouds often have a flat top. Air convection occurs inside such a cloud, and it gradually cools until it reaches the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere. At this moment, it loses its buoyancy and can no longer rise higher. Instead, it spreads out to the sides, forming the characteristic anvil shape.
3) Cirrus clouds form in very high layers of the atmosphere. They are smoky because they are composed entirely of ice crystals falling in the atmosphere. When cirrus clouds are carried by winds moving at different speeds, they take on a characteristic curved shape. And only at very high altitudes or at high latitudes, cirrus clouds give out rain that reaches the ground.
4) Stratus Clouds - A low-lying, continuous cloud sheet that covers the sky. Stratus clouds are formed by slowly rising air or gentle winds that cover the cold land or sea surface with moist air. Stratus clouds are thin, therefore, despite the gloomy picture, it is unlikely to rain from them, a little drizzle at most. Stratus clouds are identical to fog, so if you've ever walked in a mountainous area on a foggy day, you've been inside a cloud.
5) Lenticular clouds. Smooth and lenticular lenticular clouds form when air is blown up and over a mountain range, and as it travels over a mountain, the air descends to its previous level. At this time, it heats up and the cloud evaporates. But it can slip further, as a result of which the air rises again and forms another lenticular cloud. This can result in a chain of clouds extending far beyond the mountain range. The interaction of wind with mountains and other surface features is one of the many details that must be taken into account in computer simulations to obtain accurate weather predictions.
6) Kelvin - Helmholtz like a breaking ocean wave. When air masses at different heights move horizontally at different speeds, their state becomes unstable. The boundary between the air masses begins to ripple and form large waves, such clouds are quite rare.

Yes, during this time of the year, Canada's weather is big different from coast to coast, Vancouver is warm now, but east coast still under zero degree, but the landscape is very impressive for people like us. 哈哈，這個天氣去加拿大東岸旅行，仿佛時光流轉，倒退一個到兩個季節，溫哥華已經開始準備夏天，而多倫多和尼亞加拉仿佛依然 是冬天。
During the last week of high winds and rain I gave myself a challenge to get out and shoot something where conditions aren't ideal!
I ended up at Bodiam Castle in East Sussex, wind swept, poor light and wet, all i can say is my aim was moody!!!
Bodiam Castle is a 14th-century moated castle near Robertsbridge in East Sussex, England. It was built in 1385 by Sir Edward Dalyngrigge, a former knight of Edward III, with the permission of Richard II, ostensibly to defend the area against French invasion during the Hundred Years' War.
During a walk I found this unusual headless mushroom, called "Draadknotszwam" (Macrotyphula juncea). They grow together in large amounts, you hardly see them, because of their color and height (3-5cm).
"Macrotyphula juncea is a super skinny club fungus found decomposing forest litter. It reaches heights of about 8 centimeters, but is usually only about 1 millimeter thick. Other distinguishing features include the copious rhizomorphs at the base of the stem, extending into the substrate, and the whitish to pale yellowish surface." - info internet.
"Draadknotszwam (Macrotyphula juncea) is een in Nederland algemene paddenstoelensoort. De vruchtlichamen zijn aanwezig in september en november, op het strooisel van diverse loofbomen: berken, eiken, beuken en elzen. Vaak staan ze om in grote groepen bijeen. De draadvormige vruchtlichamen staan als naalden omhoog. Ze worden tot 6 centimeter lang en tot 2 millimeter dik. De kleur is geelwit tot okerkleurig. Aanvankelijk zijn de vruchtlichamen massief. Ze hebben een spitse of afgeronde top. De basis is versmald en viltig. De naalden buigen in een boog omhoog.
Draadknotszwam lijkt op het Linzeknotsje (Typhula phacorrhiza), dat echter aan de voet een klein knolletje (sclerotium) heeft." - info internet
During the winter the temperature in Bariloche is around 3 degrees Celsius, reaching 8 degrees in the hottest times of the day and -4 degrees at dawn, reaching a thermal sensation of up to -16 degrees C in more extreme situations.
In July of that year, a terrible cold front coming from Antarctica lowered the temperature to -25 degrees for a few days.
Luckily I was not there yet :)))
The light during our birthday stroll yesterday was absolutely amazing and everything looked pretty like these little "fluff things" whose name I have forgotten again. :) P.D.: It is some kind of clematis. Thanks to Steven Hromnak for clarifying)
Last week, during the "swallowtail shoot", this butterfly decided to leave the withered clover and fled to the nearby barley field. Maybe he thought he was sufficiently camouflaged there?
For a few minutes and a few pictures, he lingered on the corn ear on the edge of the field, before going out into the new day.
Letzte Woche während des "Schwalbenschwanz-Shootings" entschied sich dieser Schmetterling, die vertrocknete Kleeblüte zu verlassen und flüchtete in das nahe Gerstenfeld. Vielleicht glaubte er, dort ausreichend getarnt zu sein?
Für wenige Minuten und einige Bilder verweilte er auf der Getreideähre am Rande des Feldes, bevor es in den neuen Tag hinaus ging.
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

Local boats during blue hour, moored at the small marina located at the end of the Pitt River before it opens up into the wonderworld of Pitt Lake.
Communities of rustic to luxury cabins are nestled in clusters along the lake's shores.
A whole new world opens up to a pristine tidal lake that is only accessible by boat.
Pitt Lake according to Wikipedia:
Pitt Lake is the second-largest lake in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. About 53.5 square kilometres in area, it is about 25 km long and about 4.5 km wide at its widest. It is one of the world's relatively few tidal lakes, and among the largest. In Pitt Lake, there is on average a three foot tide range; thus Pitt Lake is separated from sea level and tidal waters during most hours of each day during the 15 foot tide cycle of the Pitt River and Strait of Georgia estuary immediately downstream.

Discovering this little canyon during my last trip to Iceland I was surprised and amazed by this mysterious atmosphere that emerges here. It is located at the end of a small stony track, off the beaten paths where thousands of tourists go every day.
------------------------------------
En découvrant ce petit canyon lors de mon dernier voyage en Islande j'étais surprise et émerveillé par cette ambiance mystérieuse qui s'y dégage. Il se trouve tout à la fin d'une petite piste caillouteuse hors des sentiers battus où dévalent des milliers des touristes tous les jours.
During my 2nd trip to Sun Moon Lake , we stay a night at the Sun Moon Lake Hotel so that I will be able see the mist over the Lake in the early morning in July - Summertime. Amazing experience to be there and walking along the lake without tourists, would recommence to all my friends if you are there.

During the rut, we often hear the incredible, otherworldly sound of a bull elk bugling. But just how are they making that noise?
Until recently, scientists were stumped — the bugles reach pitches that are far too high to be produced by an elk’s voice box. It turns out there are two forces at work.
Use your binoculars to take a look at a bugling male – you’ll see that he is moving both his lips and his nostrils. That’s right: he’s roaring and whistling simultaneously.
And there......you’ve got the famous elk bugle.
We happened upon this handsome fella in early hours of daylight in Grand Teton National Park. He treated us to his bugle in the chilly morning air....
Have a great new week ahead !
