It was really nice to see water at Vernal Fall along the Mist Trail. I'd never seen it quite like this. Usually I see it roaring down. This was a gentle, wispy fall.
Happy Monday Folks!
Last night the clouds made it look like the sky was *actually* falling. I was fortunate enough to be in a great place to take a few photos.
Another example of just how quickly things can change, this time it is one of the two operators seen here that is now history. The location is St Boswells Green on 15th April 2013, where Perryman's Mercedes OC500LE/MCV 044 (AE12AZB) and Munro's Enviro 300 schoolbus 561 (SN56AXW) are about to depart on services 67 to Galashiels and 51 to Edinburgh respectively, having interchanged some of their passengers between the two services.
Just over two months later it was announced that Munro's had lost the contract for the 51/52 and 68, which it had held since 2000, to Perryman's and by early July Munro's had disappeared after the company announced its closure with effect from the end of service on July 3rd. This left Scottish Borders Council to find alternative providers for the services run by Munro's and it managed to do so in the space of a day, without any disruptions to services. Munro's had gained a reputation for delivering a quality service but its latter years were blighted by constant financial struggles and service unreliability. By the end of operation four out of a batch of seven MAN/MCVs bought by Munro's in 2006 were out of use with three awaiting new engines and the fourth having been ordered off the road following the discovery of soot in the passenger area. The unpainted replacement front offside headlight panel on 561 typifies the unkempt appearance that the Munro's fleet took on in later years.
At the start of 2013 it emerged that Munro's had been stripped of its O-licence with effect from the end of March by the Traffic Commissioner following licence disc offences involving a Dalkeith area operator. The other party involved, Edinburgh Group Travel, also lost its O-licence and the managing directors of both companies lost their repute. Munro's appealed the decision and this allowed it to continue running past the 31 March deadline while the appeal was heard. Although this was subsequently rejected, one of the Munro's directors (who had not lost his repute) applied for a new O-licence which was granted in early-May but in the event it turned out to be academic - the contract losses proved to be the final straw for Munro's and the decision was made soon afterwards to cease trading. A fall from grace which could so easily have been avoided.
We got our heaviest snowfall of the season on the day and night of New Year's Eve. It was one of those wet snows that coated everything. I awoke to scenes like this. Wishing you all a happy January and a happy 2019.
Took 102 pictures this morning at our Trailer drop yard. The brush and wild growth behind the property doesn't look like much, until you take a macro look. Found a large variety of small wildflowers and even some blackberries and some red ones, not yet turned black. I'll post about a dozen in this series.

I wasn't going to upload this, but something about it makes me love it a lot! If you want to see more Skate and Surf photos, go look at New Noise Magazine's website! newnoisemagazine.com
This is about what I felt like after being in the thick woods and crossing numerous swollen creeks and trampling thru mud. It was not a long walk but the walk is becoming long enough at times. It was still good to get out.
Still beautiful despite the onslaughts of the wind and the cold

Autumn mood around the Hücker Moor near Spenge, Ostwestfalen, Germany
The Hücker Moor is a nice little lake in the Herford area (Northwest Germany). Peat was cut here more than a century ago and created this lovely landscape. Today the place is a great location for wildlife and worth a trip for the local folks in all seasons.

Watched Gavin Hoey's instructions on how to make a triptych, so grabed the Sigma 150mm and shot the main subject, background, and the texture.
Feel free to join me on Google Plus.
I found this scene last year but missed the fall colors by a couple weeks, so I thought I'd go back this year and give it another try. I love the bright yellow tree in the foreground that seems to just glow in the sunlight.

Nearly every time I visit a battlefield ground and see a leaf I think of the fallen soldiers. Raymond, MS.
Located on the Clark-Edgar County, Illinois line, this old barn is literally falling apart. And if you want old barn wood, it's for sale!
UPDATE: The old barn finally did fall down, but it took a tornado from a recent storm to level it.
A few days earlier, the tree on the left had just a little fall color on one branch and those bare tree were fully covered in leaves.
I waited along the edge of a creek, as some Yellow-rumped Warblers came through in small groups, and they fed on the insects they stirred up. A few Kinglets and Vireo's appeared to be mixed in with the late travelling warblers.

Don't blink too fast, snow will be here soon.
CPL and 6 Stop ND stacked for this capture in the river.
Sand shifting beneath little feet often makes it hard to stay upright when climbing sand dunes. This little guy, trying to keep up with his mother is about to fall to the sand...all part of the fun.

From the Tunnel View lookout point as you enter the Yosemite valley, Bridalveil Fall is truly mesmerizing. The 620-foot waterfall against the granite walls of the mountains is one of the most spectacular sights in the USA.
