* 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.

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!!!

I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual. - Henry David Thoreau
Have a wonderful day, everyone...
Sunset in the Mojave Desert, Twentynine Palms, California
As 2022 draws to a close, I am looking forward to turning the page on this year, which has been a difficult one for me, and starting the new chapter that is 2023.
There are a few lines from a Josh Groban song called "Thankful", that I have always loved:
Even with our differences
There is a place we're all connected
Each of us can find each others' light
For me, Flickr has become a beautiful place to find that light and that connection, especially in a world that seems to grow increasingly dark and troubled. So I want to share a deep and sincere Thank You to all my Flickr friends and contacts for the light you give and all the ways in which you uplift my spirit. Thank you for sharing your talents and creativity which both awe and inspire me, for sharing your beautiful places, special moments, and great adventures, for your thoughtful and generous support of my photography and writing, and most of all for your personal kindness, caring, and humanity. I truly enjoy all of the conversations, comments, and connection with each of you, and am incredibly thankful for your encouragement and good wishes through some of the tough times this year.
I am profoundly grateful to have met such wonderful people here on Flickr. Because in the words of the incomparable Maya Angelou in the poem below,
"Nobody, but nobody, Can make it out here alone.
I wish each of you health, happiness, and beautiful light (both in photography and life) in the new year ahead!
Alone
by Maya Angelou
Lying, thinking
Last night
How to find my soul a home
Where water is not thirsty
And bread loaf is not stone
I came up with one thing
And I don't believe I'm wrong
That nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
There are some millionaires
With money they can't use
Their wives run round like banshees
Their children sing the blues
They've got expensive doctors
To cure their hearts of stone.
But nobody
No, nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Now if you listen closely
I'll tell you what I know
Storm clouds are gathering
The wind is gonna blow
The race of man is suffering
And I can hear the moan,
'Cause nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
"Just living is not enough," said the butterfly, "one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower."
--Hans Christian Anderson

* In part as an antidote to the dark days of December and to the onset of Christmas. I thought I would retrieve from the archives a few mixed travel shots to post this month . It will be interesting to see how many countries I can fit it in before the end of the year .
This one is from 2019 taken at Dutch Lake in Clearwater, British Columbia . We had been staying in the Wells Grey Park , and while it is very beautiful but does rather lack facilities . The previous evening we had a meal so bad it is still unforgettable. We were determined to find something better though it did mean a long drive out of Wells Grey to the little town of Clearwater. The Painted Turtle restaurant was excellent, good food and we could sit and watch the light fade over Dutch Lake . I checked it out yesterday and it looks like its still going strong

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

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.

Magpie grateful for a peanut treat at -29c. Some kind soul had tossed a handful of peanuts in a local park. We got there a minute or so later. It sure looked like the magpies were delighted.
"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!

* I'm grateful for visit, faves and comments in my photo.
Wishing my friends who celebrate it a Happy Thanksgiving and many reasons to be grateful.
And for those who don't, wishing you reasons to be thankful too.
For those who are burdened, who suffer, who have so few blessings, I wish you comfort, relief and tender mercies.
I am grateful for my Flickr friends.
