Thanks for visiting. I am very grateful for the kind comments and faves.

* The last post from my trip to Seville at least for a while . It is another shot from the Plaza de España that we saw on our first afternoon. We were equally impressed by the architecture but also by the wonderful warm temperatures . Two months later and I am still waiting for a little warmth its been a cool wet Spring this year

The Plaza de España is is a beautiful collection of buildings in the Parque de María Luisa in Seville. It was built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. The Plaza was, designed by Aníbal González, was a principal building built on the Maria Luisa Park's edge to showcase Spain's industry and technology exhibits. González combined a mix of 1920s Art Deco and Spanish Renaissance Revival, Spanish Baroque Revival and Neo-Mudéjar styles. The Plaza de España complex is a huge half-circle; the buildings are accessible by four bridges over the moat, which represent the ancient kingdoms of Spain. In the centre is the Vicente Traver fountain.

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.

I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO

WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .

Hello Flickr Friends ❤️💙

It's been awhile, I've missed being here admiring and enjoying your photos, I look forward to catching up soon! :) I hope you are well, enjoying the season in your neck of the woods!:)

....travelling is a privilege, grateful and lucky to be able to experience a new place!

. .. Newfoundland was a bucket list place to visit. The 2 things I hoped to see most was an iceberg and a Puffin. yay :) (Puffin photo coming soon)

.....As such you can imagine how incredible this was to witness part of this iceberg falling off and crashing into the ocean!... ..still in complete awe! lol . The sound and details of it collapsing!..the wave it created. the chances to witness such a thing in nature! (and safely) :) I will treasure the moment forever.

The color, and size was magnificent! every angle is a completely new look to an iceberg. I will be posting more:)

Even though I researched the best time to see icebergs, it does not always guarantee you will. Apparently last year there were none in this area. Twillingate.(part of iceberg alley)...it all depends on the weather, currents, wind direction etc.

"Q: How much of an iceberg is below water?".....Answer below at the end:)

some more fascinating facts if you are interested:

________________

"A: Almost 90% of an iceberg is under water, hence the phrase “tip of the iceberg.” Its maximum width under water is 20-30% larger than you can see at the surface. The average depth, or draught of an iceberg, is slightly less than its apparent length above water."

This decorative egg was grateful that the others were accepting of it despite its different looking appearance. Here is a group photo of the new friends together. ;-)

Thanks very much for your visits, comments and faves. HCT!

T-Minus two hours. It's been months since I've been out nightscaping and I'm feeling like Rip VanWinkle, as I am throwing my gear in the car on my way to the Nightscape Photography Conference In Moab Utah.

So proud to announce that I have been invited to speak at the conference.......Wait, wait, hold-up. I'm not sure if I was "invited" It was more like I finagled my way into a spot on the staff, It's really a bizarre story too hard too believe, but to make a long story short, after talking to Royce Bair on the phone I managed to, via Royce's kindness land a spot in a side conference room.

That quickly changed to two presentations and two workshops. I have spent the last two years preparing a line of products that teaches the techniques I use in the field to navigate, plan alignments and predict the weather.

I think I found a niche.

The Smart App bootcamp sold-out in 5 Hrs. Whaaaat!

Wait, it gets better. Well maybe I will save that for my next post.

I should mention that Wayne Pinkston had a hand in my participation there, he has got to be the coolest "Night walker" on the face of the Earth.

Thanks Wayne and Thanks to Royce as well. You guys are two amazing people!!!

Wish me luck my friends!!!

Thanks as always, for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and reading my descriptions.

I am always grateful for your views, comments, faves, and support, they are truly appreciated!! Have a great day my friends!! :)

You're the blessings that exist

The small things that are bliss

The gift to realize that

Everything is a gift

And I'm grateful for it all

"Je schöner und voller die Erinnerung,

desto schwerer ist die Trennung.

Aber die Dankbarkeit verwandelt die Qual

der Erinnerung in eine stille Freude.

Man trägt das vergangene Schöne nicht

wie ein Stachel, sondern wie ein kostbares

Geschenk in sich."

I knew that I would post my last pick on May 18th when I took it and I did a lot of research for the days leading up to SH's explosion and seeing all that beauty blasted away in seconds reminds of how glad I am to be living here in this time while Rainier is in it's prime. Breathtaking beauty everywhere you look and sometimes you don't have to look too hard, just wait for the light. :-) Absolutely must be viewed large, that means you too Franky! :-)

I THINK that I caught up with everyone after having been gone for days, if not let me know.

Today I'm grateful for the colors of Lake Superior rocks I've collected over the years and I’ve put them all around my house.

I'm grateful to be feeling better this week so I took a walk at my local botanical garden to see what was blooming in the desert in November.

"Start each day with a grateful heart."

Another composition which is quite similar to my last bleeding heart image, where I again used our columbine to create a bokeh which frames the heart in focus. I hope you like it! Wish you a great Sunday evening!

Another beautiful custom made iron gate to a ranch property in the Hill Country of Texas. Had to show this gate before moving to a different part of Texas.

A Thanksgiving Day Prayer

Lord, so often times, as any other day

When we sit down to our meal and pray

We hurry along and make fast the blessing

Thanks, amen. Now please pass the dressing

We’re slaves to the olfactory overload

We must rush our prayer before the food gets cold

But Lord, I’d like to take a few minute more

To really give thanks to what I’m thankful for

For my family, my health, a nice soft bed

My friends, my freedom, a roof over my head

I’m thankful right now to be surrounded by those

Whose lives touch me more than they’ll ever possibly know

Thankful Lord, that You’ve blessed me beyond measure

Thankful that in my heart lives life’s greatest treasure

That You, dear Jesus, reside in that place

And I’m ever so grateful for Your unending grace

So please, heavenly Father, bless this food You’ve provided

And bless each and every person held dear to my heart , be they here with me or far apart .

Amen

Well we are on day xx of quarantine.... I honestly don’t know anymore. I’m grateful for my health and my family’s health! But I still need more exercise. I’ve been climbing our stairs (and I feel it working) while trying to walk and stay busy moving. What are you doing to stay physically active indoors??

Despite this year being horrendous in multiple ways, I can’t help but be grateful for the things that did go right. We’re ending it with all of us healthy, and for that I am extremely thankful (especially being very aware of how suddenly & drastically life can change).

I often get to see such beautiful sunsets so close to home. Living in the country certainly has a lot to do with it. Many trees close by, a creek on the property and working daily on the property certainly lends itself to such opportunities. Thanks for viewing my work,
