We don't touch the foxes ever, but he likes to get close!! and he's very sociable and photogenic!! Captured at British Wildlife Centre, UK
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.

In the magic I wait
Alone for now until you believe
Then you will join me in the fairy tales
And happily ever after we shall be

If you've ever taken a long family road trip, you know that there's a point at which you just need some quiet zen time.
Along US 395 near Janesville, CA, between Reno and the Lassen National Forest and Volcanic National Park, there is a rest stop near the edge of Honey Lake. I've traveled this road twice in my life, and both times I've stopped here. The first trip was a solo cross-country speed run in the spring, moving from one Navy posting to another. The second was a winter holiday road trip with my family. I think this scene resonated more on the second road trip.

Ever changing light!
Mornings like this one justify why I sometimes just setup the tripod and stay rooted to the same spot for sometimes over an hour.
Watching the blue hour tones give way to yellows, oranges and reds until the sun rises and shows the natural greens of the countryside and blue from the clear sky!
The rolling mist just adds some lovely atmosphere and mood to the conditions around!
A female Ruby-throated Hummingbird sits on a nest as the male only sticks around for mating and then he leaves. This is the first nest that I have ever seen. We will be going back to check on the little ones . Wish it was a little lower and not so dark. Bucks Co. PA.
I knew when I got out of bed this morning things were not just going to go right.

Bright sunsets are not a thing of the past. Great sunsets are here to stay. Great reds, oranges and yellows. Great contrasts, hues and flowing clouds that seem to swirl across the skies. No two sunsets are ever the same like fingerprints. My wish is that sunsets would last longer, right up to a great sunrise. Enjoy the “Ever Changing Sunsets” as they mark the ending of our joyful days and our troubled days alike. Thanks for viewing my work. Stay safe and use your mask today.
Folks, it's been two weeks now that we launched our first release ever on the marketplace bringing you action props for your house decor and photography!

There is something about a path which really draws the eye. More than your average lines in a composition, I think there is something in us which is determined to follow; to discover what is there to be seen.
A friend of a friend gave me this hat today. She had bought it for her dog but it turned out that the dog hated the hat. Fynn has a certain reputation as a cooperative photo model and she thought that he might like it more (he doesn't). Cleo would look great with the Halloween hat but it's likely that I would have to visit a plastic surgeon if I ever tried to put it onto her head. Surprisingly Linus was more cooperative than Fynn, probably because this was something new. Maybe I should have waited for a day with better light as I doubt that Linus will give me another chance. :)
My old fave wild photography location - Snapper Point. So much variety, well to me anyway, in the coastal landscape there. From sandy beaches, rock shelves, cliffs and sea caves. It is located in a State Recreation area, similar to a National Park. Heaven! And no people - bonus!
I hope everyone had a great Christmas :)
Many thanks for every fave and comment, I appreciate them all!
Ever since I was a small child I loved this little bird and dreamed that some day I would see him. Up until that point I only saw it on the cover of a book. My first glimpse of one was in Connecticut many years later and I stopped the car to take in his beauty !! He is small but packed with gorgeous colors. Last week I was able to capture an image in Central Florida . Needless to say I was thrilled .
Wishing you a beautiful and blessed day !!!!!!!!!!!
I got your fingerprints on my skin
Ever since that day you've let me in
I feel your vibes, they are circlin'
You cut so deep, cut so deep
Who needs love leaning to one side
We're free fallin' in the jungle lights?
You have it all, got me on standby
You cut so deep, cut so deep
'Cause I thought that the trust had gone
Didn't see this comin' along
You made me a believer
You made me a believer
And now I'm
I'm shoutin' from the rooftop, baby
Tell me, will you come and save me?
I'm shoutin' from the rooftop, baby
Come pick me up, come pick me up
Are you just a lover or my twin soul?
Fire the shots and I need to know
I'm shoutin' from the rooftop, baby
Come pick me up, come pick me up

And nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
The needle returns to the start of the song
And we all sing along like before
And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
The process of becoming other than,
the shedding of the old by way of time
the hands upon the clock traverse their span,
the ever fleeting moment reigns, sublime.
The emptiness of all objective forms,
the rushing river, never stepped in twice,
the reconfiguration of all norms,
the virtues of lost ages seen as vice,
The elements converge and then react,
the caterpillars weave themselves cocoons,
the world amends its stock of gathered facts,
the moths emerge, in flight to greet the moon,
The firmament, destroyed and rearranged,
the universal essence, found in change.
