The Laugavegur is a famous trekking route in South-West Iceland from the hot springs area of Landmannalaugar to the glacial valley of Þórsmörk . It is noted for the wide variety of landscapes on its 55 km (34 mi) path. The route is typically completed over 2–4 days with potential stops at the mountain huts at Hrafntinnusker, Álftavatn, Hvanngil and Emstrur. An ultramarathon is held on the route each July. It is possible to combine the trek with the Fimmvörðuháls route which goes over the pass from Þórsmörk to Skógar for an additional one or two days or an additional 25 km (16 mi). Landmannalaugar, Þórsmörk, and Skógar are all reachable by bus during the summer. A bus from Hella connects with Álftavatn once a day during the summer.
Taken the same day as my last post. They seemed very happy to greet each other. This went on for a minute or two. The female was already on the rocks with her ducklings when the drake arrived. He greeted the ducklings too, although not as enthusiastically. I suppose it could have been a adult child returning to visit its mother, I've seen juvenile, almost adult males do that. But I'd guess it was her mate. In any case, they definitely shared some affection. I felt double lucky to see it. It's my favorite thing to photograph. I know people who refuse to believe birds feel emotions, even though its plain as day that they do. And I just love to see them show it.
Due to the amount of awards and comments, I can't thank everyone individually, so I'm doing it here.
Thanks for stopping by my gallery. I’m very pleased and really appreciate each and every view of my photo, comments, invitations and awards.

He carries me through times or darkness.
He lives to silence all my fears and wipe away all my tears.
He makes me feel at peace in heart and calms my troubled mind.
He lifts me up when I am feeling down, gives me hope and inspires me.
He listens, understands my past and believes in my future path.
He walked into my life and accepted me the way I am.
He is my earthly Angel with a beautiful mind.
You are min Engel mine.

A favourite album this time of year is George Winston's "Winter." While caught up in the bliss of the historical Ukrainian church in Redwater, AB with gigantic snowflakes falling past my lens, the clarity and detail of every note was unmistakable. How pristine the sight, and how perfect my recollection of these fine piano melodies.

The blue hour in the morning on the Grand Canal is a quiet and special time. The throngs of visitors are still sleeping and the gondolas look like they are too.
Before I left on this trip, I got a new little camera and had to replace my ancient computer, so I am learning what new things each of them can do. Good for the mind and to see the possibilities. I like vignettes so used that tool in editing.

An unusual obelisk stands on the central square of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra. It was established in 1792 by the famous scholar and church leader - Metropolitan Plato (Levshin). On each side of the obelisk is a medallion with a text explaining exactly what role Laurus played in a given era ...
Many people know the monastery of St. Sergius of Radonezh as the spiritual center of Russian Orthodoxy and a collection of remarkable architectural monuments. But not everyone knows how important he played in the sharp turns of Russian history. And it’s hard to say in which country and how we would live today, if not for this monastery.
St. Sergius taught people primarily love and forgiveness. He himself set an example of humility in the most difficult situations.
Thousands of pilgrims come to the Lavra daily. There are 11 temples in the monastery.
Trinity Church is not the largest in the architectural ensemble of the Lavra, but it is here that the majority of those who came to the monastery are in a hurry. The whole time the temple is open for people to visit, the flow of people going into it does not stop: pilgrims hurry to bow to the relics of the founder of the monastery, St. Sergius.
We each have our own childhood landscapes, where our Journey begins...

Sun grave
Falling asleep I want to go back in time
some years ago
to be a small boy
who likes to play and who is with you
It seems to me a lot of years
I was a boy who wanted to know the world
and I played with you
I´ll get back and wish to be with you
to recall memories
but I have bad news
Dry soil here only
without flowers, without water
kneeling down
I do reverence by rembrance
I say goodbay but something remained
from those days of us
and I know I´ll stay faithful
Dry soil here only
without flowers, without water
kneeling down
I do reverence by rembrance
I say goodbay but something of us remained
from those days
and I know I´ll stay faithful
I can´t sleep and I wake up
and can´t resist the thought
to come back in time some years ago
to be a small boy
who likes to play and who is with you

Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us. We need hours of aimless wandering or spates of time sitting on park benches, observing the mysterious world of ants and the canopy of treetops.
~ Maya Angelou
It doesn't quite look like this anymore, but that morning with the autumn light on the trees in the background warmed my heart. And there has to be a story about those flowers left on the bench....

2023 photo 18/347 I was hoping to see birds when I took a walk Wednesday around Abbott Lake at the Blue Ridge Parkway's Peaks of Otter. Instead I found a quiet landscape locked in winter dormancy. These frozen berries by the shore were the only splash of color. ©2023 | jmhudson1.com
Each of the 30 main Sarsen standing stones that once formed a complete outer circle was around 4.1 metres (13 ft) high, 2.1 metres (6 ft 11 in) wide and weighed around 25 tons. The stones were hewn slightly wider at the top so they would look parallel-sided from the ground and the lintel stones curved slightly to create a more effective circle. (Wikipedia)
Built in Beverley in 1947 and still sailing with Holidaymakers each Summer, I have Photographed this little Vessel many times but this is the first time l have seen her leaving the Harbour stern first,
This Cooper's Hawk and I looked at each other across my backyard while we pondered why the sparrows and finches were absent today :)
Among the bird world’s most skillful fliers, Cooper’s Hawks are common woodland hawks that tear through cluttered tree canopies in high speed pursuit of other birds.
Dashing through vegetation to catch birds is a dangerous lifestyle. In a study of more than 300 Cooper’s Hawk skeletons, 23 percent showed old, healed-over fractures in the bones of the chest, especially of the furcula, or wishbone.
A Cooper's Hawk captures a bird with its feet and kills it by repeated squeezing. Falcons tend to kill their prey by biting it, but Cooper’s Hawks hold their catch away from the body until it dies. They’ve even been known to drown their prey, holding a bird underwater until it stopped moving.

Each year at this time I try to photograph my first sighting of the wild flower Prairie Crocus - Anemone patens . It is also know as a pasque flower as it arrives right around Easter. Once again this year, it is right on time. We saw the first one on Good Friday.
I have been tracking the crocus appearance on Nose Hill for 15 years now. In 2016, I saw the first crocus on March 19. In 2020, it was as late as April 25.
When I'm not looking for wild flowers, you can find me on Twitter
Each year the ice free water in this area attracts a number of wintering swans. To get close enough for some shots I tromped along the edge of the river through about a foot of snow. The weather was great (cold and sunny) making for an enjoyable outing.
