With ever changing weather I spent a wet but fun couple of hours on the North Cornish Coast. I do love playing with shutter speeds and the rocks & water flow on this beach.

Happy Waterfall Wednesday.
Tucked away in the Indian Peaks Wilderness of Colorado, lies this small stream cascading over rocks as it moves through a tree lined forest.
When I heard high winds were expected in Rocky Mountain National Park, I deiced there was a good chance for clear ice and blowing snow. It was difficult trying to walk on the ice and get a sharp image with the insane wind, and the snow blowing up the back of my shirt made things really cold, but the light was amazing so it was 100% worth it. Great fun!!!

love this, but yet to identify.
Found it: Cryptandra amara var. amara; Bitter Cryptandra.
"A tiny plant - its aged-looking branches making it look like a bonsai.
Its spine-like branches help identify it.
Its 3mm long flowers start out white, and then become pink, and eventually are a dusky pink with a "red centre"."

What exactly is flow state? To me it’s when my mind blocks out the external forces of the world and is open to the beauty of the natural world. I hear the cascading water. I smell the pine in the morning air. I feel the power of the water rushing over rocks. I don’t think about the technical aspects of my camera and composition.

Autumn Flow #2” — The surface of the Merced River, broken by boulders, reflects golden fall colors from nearby trees.
This is a companion image to another photograph that includes some the same rocks but in vertical/portrait orientation. The scene is an otherwise unremarkable section of the Merced River in Yosemite Valley that probably doesn’t merit a stop from most visitors to the Valley. (Though quite a few park photographers have stopped to make images in this general area.) The appeal is the combination of rocks (at least during periods of low flow in the river), the patterns of moving water, and reflections.
Speaking of reflections, here the warm colors are almost entirely from reflections. They include the light on a very large sunlit cliff on the far side of the valley and the colors of autumn leaves in the forest on the opposite bank of the river. To see a scent like this you have to look past what your eyes likely want to see (water and rocks) and see the intense color reflected in the water.
Snow drifts flow past sage brush with frosted mountains in the distance. This Bear Lake Valley scene is between Bennington and Georgetown, Idaho

Thank you for viewing, faving or commenting on my images, have a great day!
Phrase should not be too hard to guess
The rush and flow of water is ubiquitous along the southern fringe of Iceland, as the laden north Atlantic clouds are not stingy when it comes to bestowing their gifts upon the landscape. Far from being one of the famous falls, the scene here was simply one of many places along the road where beauty abounded, and people gathered to appreciate it.
Technical notes: Knee tripod, deep breathing, hope...
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag, lieber Antonio! flic.kr/ps/2gcmvG!
Antonio ist ein sehr guter Fotograf aus Italien! Ich mag seine Arbeiten.
A nice spring like morning with the mountain to myself at a well photographed location near Cwm Idwal.
“In the ebb and flow of life, an opportunity missed is often an opportunity missed forever!”

Since seeing the above quote on a coffee cup while out thrifting several weeks ago I have not been able to release the ebb and flow part from my thoughts. I am always amazed at where that “thing” that sticks in your heart, that inspires the deepest of thought can come from. Being a simple man, a coffee cup saying can become the “ear worm” that sticks!
This photo, taken at Ft. Pickens Florida back in 2022 was the last thing I edited before waking my beloved dog Sophie and heading to bed to sleep with my bride. Oddly, it was on my heart as I awoke this morning, riding on the back of the term ebb and flow like a jockey in the derby!
It was maybe a half an hour after sunrise as I walked the beaches of Ft. Pickens, totally prepared for the gifts that I knew would be granted. As I walked east on the beach in total solitude, I noticed flight after flight of pelicans, cormorants, seagulls and terns overhead as if on a mission and landing and swimming several hundred yards up the beach…there were hundreds of birds congregating in a very small area. Experience had taught me that a feeding frenzy was about to occur, so I sprinted down the beach to capture the event.
The sprint, that quickly morphed into a jog and then again into a fast walk got me there to see the entire evolution of the event and how the different species worked in unison for the sake of survival. The dolphin herded the small baitfish from the depts as they gorged themselves on the millions of fish. Once the fish were near the surface the divebombing began with the pelicans and cormorants hitting the water like a severe, softball size hail storm. The gulls and terns did their best to get into the action by taking the dead and injured fish from the surface. There was so much action in an area the size of a couple of tennis courts that focusing on a subject became impossible. I started swinging my lens around as if in a convulsion, perfectly reflecting what was going on between my ears!
This shot was taken as the frenzy was starting to die down. The shoal of fish who certainly numbered in the millions at the start were now splintered into several smaller schools with their numbers decimated. In this shot, the cormorants pinned a school between them and the beach with the school turning the small wave brown. The dolphin and pelican soon departed, much heavier that when they arrived. It was now time for the smaller consumers to feast, the species that could only take a few, or in the case of this juvenile Royal tern, one at a time.
The natural ebb and flow of our planet, the shifting of her plates, her natural cycles of ice ages and thaws and changing weather patterns allows events like this to take place. Sometime in the near future this area will experience a hurricane and the population of pelicans, cormorants, gulls and terns of the area will take a hit. The baitfish will thrive as the seabirds’ numbers rebound thus creating balance in nature, in the circle of life.
Adventure before dementia.
Taking this shot was quite a challenge. I'm still without a tripod I so I climbed on some really sharp rocks, put my towel on the only piece I could find that was slighty even and put my camera on the towel. Used a 30 second exposure, during which I tried to avoid falling off the rocks and getting wet from the super heavy weaves clashing on the rocks I was standing on.
I'm surprised I got such a peaceful shot out of the chaos that was going on around me. Forget extreme sports, extreme photography all the way!
On the last day of our Hawaii trip we were lucky to catch the first day of Manua Loa's eruption after a 40-year hiatus along with Kilauea. But then a few days ago BOTH volcanos mysteriously stopped and scientists don't know why. Even more interesting is that Kilauea had been erupting for over a year.
