You can see where Mother Nature has had a pause in her life, and then continue her life after a shook up.

Tuesday night was pretty wild. I got caught in a lot of rain after watching the storm come through in Burlington but then on the way home, the crawlers just started running across the sky. I had to wait for the rain to clear a little but was lucky enough to get this.
Canyonlands Sunset
The overlook of the Green River at Canyonlands is a magnificent vista, and at sunset, the view is inspiring.

Loch Fada with the Old Man of Storr in the distance. I went out for a sunrise shot of the Storr with the Loch in the foreground unfortunately there was no sunrise instead the grey clouds moving fairly fast across the sky so I opted for a black and white long Exposure instead. Hope you like it.

Went back to the same area as the day before and the Leucistic Mallard Hen was still hanging around. She seems to be enjoying the fresh snowfall.

The Papal Basilica of Saint Peter in the Vatican (Italian: Basilica Papale di San Pietro in Vaticano), or simply Saint Peter's Basilica (Latin: Basilica Sancti Petri), is a church built in the Renaissance style located in Vatican City, the papal enclave that is within the city of Rome, Italy. It was initially planned by Pope Nicholas V and then Pope Julius II to replace the aging Old St. Peter's Basilica, which was built in the fourth century by Roman emperor Constantine the Great. Construction of the present basilica began on 18 April 1506 and was completed on 18 November 1626.
Designed principally by Donato Bramante, Michelangelo, Carlo Maderno and Gian Lorenzo Bernini, St. Peter's is the most renowned work of Renaissance architecture and the largest church in the world by interior measure. While it is neither the mother church of the Catholic Church nor the cathedral of the Diocese of Rome (these equivalent titles being held by the Archbasilica of Saint John Lateran in Rome), St. Peter's is regarded as one of the holiest Catholic shrines. It has been described as "holding a unique position in the Christian world" and as "the greatest of all churches of Christendom."
Catholic tradition holds that the basilica is the burial site of Saint Peter, chief among Jesus's apostles and also the first Bishop of Rome (Pope). Saint Peter's tomb is supposedly directly below the high altar of the basilica, also known as the Altar of the Confession. For this reason, many popes have been interred at St. Peter's since the Early Christian period.
St. Peter's is famous as a place of pilgrimage and for its liturgical functions. The pope presides at a number of liturgies throughout the year both within the basilica or the adjoining St. Peter's Square; these liturgies draw audiences numbering from 15,000 to over 80,000 people. St. Peter's has many historical associations, with the Early Christian Church, the Papacy, the Protestant Reformation and Catholic Counter-reformation and numerous artists, especially Michelangelo. As a work of architecture, it is regarded as the greatest building of its age. St. Peter's is one of the four churches in the world that hold the rank of Major papal basilica, all four of which are in Rome, and is also one of the Seven Pilgrim Churches of Rome. Contrary to popular misconception, it is not a cathedral because it is not the seat of a bishop; the cathedra of the pope as bishop of Rome is at Saint John Lateran (Wikipedia).

Amazing waterfall in Brevard North Carolina. The area was in flood warnings so the flow was amazing!
This guy has such a marvelous coat
It's the softest there is
And he has loads around his face and especially around his neck
It works like the best pillow ever
I had to take quite a lot off, he normally doesn't like it
But now he obviously thought it was quite lovely
Today we have 25C, I'm definitely not built for this heat
And neither is my King
I'm not complaining tho, I just adapt
We walk in the evening and do little outside when the heat is on :D

After a clear cold night this pond is now almost all frozen over. These ducks were using anything they could find to raise their feet off the ice and were very funny to watch as they 'skated' to areas of free flowing water.
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.
