First Bus New Livery

The first sign of life after Hurricane Irma in my backyard after the storm passed. While most of my trees were severely defoliated this zebra longwing finds a little sustenance from the lantana bush.
Morning light, Chugach State Park, Alaska
One of the upsides of visiting Alaska in the winter is that there is no rush to be up early for sunrise. One can enjoy plenty of time for breakfast and a leisurely cup of coffee while waiting for the first light to creep over the mountains. Most of the mornings I was there it was too cloudy to see any color in the sky, but the last day made up for all the other ones!
I was finishing up packing for our departure and as I glanced out the window I saw the aptly named Mount Alpenglow bathed in fiery shades of pink. So I grabbed my camera, threw on my boots and coat and dashed outside. In every direction were mountains aglow with light and color and I hardly knew where to look because I did not want to miss a single moment of it.
In my haste to get outside I had forgotten my gloves, so taking photos in the 10 degrees F/ -12 degrees C temperature resulted in some frozen fingers, but it was well worth the cold. (I also forgot to bring my phone with me with my PeakFinder app, so I am not certain of the names of these specific peaks.)
P.S. Unfortunately I realized once outside that the best and least obstructed view of Mount Alpenglow was actually from my room window. So I did not get any good shots of it. But if you want to see what caught my attention, I have included a photo of the colors through the trees in the first comment below.
It's November 22 and the snow has fallen since early this morning. The first snow is always so spectacular, so fresh and clean. Taken in Mississauga, Ontario, just west of Toronto. 1st place winner, Baby It's Cold Outside contest, Daarklands group. Dec. 2021.
First time using photo merger from 10 vertical shots. Accepting recommendations to make the process easier. It took me forever working from raw files, which generated a huge file.

'Last Sun' and 'First Light' is a series of photos taken on Dec. 31, 2022 and Jan. 1st, 2023.
On both days, I used a fixed camera setting to take the photos, resulting sometimes in over- or underexposure.
It is interesting how the fixed settings (aperture, exposure time and iso) reflect the mood, lightness or dimness of the respective days.
'Last Sun' was taken with a 35mm lens, iso 100, f.8 and 1/60.
'First Light' was taken with a 70-200mm lens, iso 160 (400 for the darkest shades), f.4 and 1/200.
No cropping (3x2) except occasional 4x3.
May 30, 2019 was a good day at our house, I came home from work and discovered this new born by our driveway. A few hours later and twins were born in the backyard.
A first-time visitor to Horsepen Bayou on my watch, Hudsonian Godwit circled down to the exposed mudflat, poked around for about 30 seconds, then took off back the way she came.
Three months without my beloved camera takes its toll. Here's a photo from another camera, thank goodness it's a decent one.
I hope this Daffodil is tooting the first notes of Spring. Thanks for the Look and have a great evening.
A muggy morning in the summer of 2013 finds 23 cars worth of Q339 being pulled out of the east siding at South Deshler with CSXT 8098 providing all the necessary muscle. I offer this as a submission for "Forty Friday" for more than just the obvious reason. The 8098 was built in 1980, making 2020 its 40th birthday. However, I can't find any photos of it more recent than 2016, so I have to assume its rotting in a deadline somewhere, or worse...
Another fun night for the crew of WAPO; not only is it snowing, but two of their five engines have already died less than ten miles out of Waterville. They're still moving along though, as they're about to roll by MP128 in Belgrade, with SD40-2M 613 leading the way, and about sixty cars trailing it.
