We had just reached the Bryce Canyon at Sunset Point, when a strong thunderstorm descended northeasternly over the Escalante Mountains, while lights sprawled across the landscape from the west. Because it was only fast to attach the camera to the tripod to maintain this mood. And after a few minutes a huge (double) rainbow spread out, for which unfortunately the 18 mm of the lens was not sufficient.
Wir hatten soeben den Bryce Canyon am Sunset Point erreicht, als nordöstlich über den Escalante Mountains ein starkes Gewitter nieder ging, während von Westen Lichtspots über die Landschaft zogen. Da galt es nur, schnell die Kamera auf dem Stativ zu befestigen um diese Stimmung festzuhalten. Und nach wenigen Minuten breitete sich ein gewaltiger (doppelter) Regenbogen aus, für den leider die 18 mm des Objektivs nicht ausreichten.
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

I had been shut out for 5 nights in a row on this trip and was willing to shoot anything at this point. As I was running around to the different viewpoints on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon looking for some open sky, I rounded the corner along the drive and hit the brakes for a quickie. :) I set up one light panel quickly and snapped 3 shots then jumped back in and off I went. I used a cooler white balance than usual on this one at around 3200. :)

We had it confirmed yesterday that our dear Flickr friend, Gérard had left us. I say confirmed because I had noticed he had not reappeared as he always did and the days of his absence were increasingly disturbing. I thought about him often of late...his loyalty, consistent presence and most of all his humor. He is the only one I've ever known who I could really hear laugh when he wrote "LOL."
It's funny how this medium can actually develop what can only be defined as real friendships when one anticipates and looks forward to daily interactions and comments. I recall the shock I felt when he informed us of his condition...and clearly recall also the shock he himself felt in just those few dramatic words. I eagerly awaited his return to Flickr from his treatments and, when he did, marveled at his spirit during this impossibly difficult time.
Gérard and I shared musical tastes and frequently exchanged YouTube links we thought appropriate to an image or an expressed thought. In many ways, we were on the same "wave length" and we discussed and mourned the losses in the musical arena this year. And now he has joined them. It has indeed been a year of loss.
So adieu, mon ami. You will be missed deeply by many, as myself, who have never met or even spoken to you...a tribute indeed. Oh, and I can tell that's you captured in this image by the white head...;-)
And one more link to carry you onward...
Had to share this joyous sight with you ! Yes, it's another rainbow (sorry!) but this time taken from my bedroom window this morning at 8.39 precisely ! If you look closely you can see it's actually a double rainbow. Soon the rain came and all my other pics were covered in raindrops and a bit blurry. The yellow thing sticking up on the left is a crane, by the way.
Processed in Topaz Impression 2, Soft Pastel at 50% opacity. Hope you like it - I was delighted to see it !
Have a lovely day everyone !
I had been waiting for this moment for a long time. In 2013 the park was closed because of the government shutdown (don't get me started). Last year, clouds rain and snow kept the Tetons hidden while we were there. This year - bingo! While the sky did not light up much, the mountains sure did! It was a sight to behold and well worth the wait and cold temperatures!
Thank you so much for visiting and commenting - they are greatly appreciated!

I had a dream last night, chasing the light and an object along the lake… laughed myself when I woke up… searched my archived photos, got the one like the scenes in the dream… What would be nice if we could travel there this fall… I heard from my friend there were lots of tourists there now. Hopefully they can keep the social distances and be safe!
Had to wait 2 hours in the cold but then it went RED.Shot with the Nikon D7000 and the Nikon 55-200mm vr.
This had been sitting on my bucket list, for a long while. I was thrilled to be able to capture this sunstar, behind Wizard Island. The weather was very unpredictable, with a clouds and snow forecast every day. My first luck was to be able to find a room at the Crater Lake Lodge, which had recently opened after winter closure. Being a light sleeper, I kept looking out the window, every time I woke up during the night, in the hope of seeing some clearing, to have some sun for my sunrise. I also had the bonus luck of capturing some moonlit night images, which I'll post at a later time.
This is a three 24mm horizontal image panorama.
As always, thanks for stopping by and looking, I appreciate your comments and visits.
Had a walk to a local pond in the snow yesterday. This Gull didn't seem bothered at all by the weather, I was freezing!!
"And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat..."
My favorite Lyle Lovett song. He has had several virtual concerts in the last few months, in fact, there is one this Friday.
I had some fun with this one and learned some Photoshop tricks while I was doing it. As soon as I get another boarder staying here I'm going back to the coast. Just seems like there's just a lot of cool adjustments I can do to coastal shots.

Had a walk along a different path at Copt Hall, spotted these Corn Buntings and others birds on the walk! Think this is a female, please correct me if wrong!
Had a few nice one's of this guy folks and once again he was very cooperative, I thanked him and off he went.
Thanks to all who visit, comment and fave, always very much appreciated.
these Wildebeest had spent the night in the woodlands and were heading towards the Ndutu Marsh area (in the south east of the Serengeti, Tanzania )
The south east of the Serengeti is the most southern part of the annual Great Migration . It is the area where most of the Wildebeest calves are born.
Many thanks for your views, favorites and supportive comments.

Had a 14km walk yesterday to get to this double stone circle (Grey Wethers) on Dartmoor in Devon.....so well worth it!!! It's in a stunning position. Handheld, Zeiss ExoLens, remote, Snapseed on iPhone.
Had a morning to myself today. I went back to visit a place I first tried to shoot at 12 months ago, but luckily this time it was warmer and the rain held off! Trying out a wide angle Tokina I bought a while back but haven't really given a till now.
I had other photos lined up to post ... then this little guy landed on an unopened zinnia blossom. And let me get REAL close! That's our big pink hibiscus blooming in the background. Pachydiplax longipennis in our North Georgia yard on a rainy day.
UPDATE 9-6-22: Selected for exhibit in juried Natural Expressions photo competition by GNPA club here in Georgia - @ Alpharetta Cultural Arts Center September-October 2022
Had another sweet encounter with a Great Grey Owl at a friend's acreage today. We saw the owl fly past while hiking in their spruce woods, then when we got back to the yard, I was searching the treeline along the edge of the yard for the bird, only to realize it was in a small spruce not 30 feet from me!
Had the lightningbolts over from when I took them of to make bleez helmet and this is what I came up with.
The helmet is custom sculpted by me and everything except the face is painted by me. The face is from nexoknights but I thought it fit.
This magnificent flambé had the courtesy to come and forage on our lavenders last week, in fact they were 2 but the other one had lost one of its tails, this one is intact for the moment, I hope they will come again.
With a maximum wingspan of 8 cm, the flambé is a cream-colored butterfly with large black stripes. Its tails are black and the tips of its hind wings have blue lunules and red spots. It lives in plains and orchards up to 2000 m between May and August.
Thanks a lot dear friends for your visits, kind comments, awards, invites, and faves.
Wish you all a nice week❤️
Had some great photo ops with a field full of Bobolinks. Have seen them before but never had so many around me in one ongoing interaction. I would simply stand on the dirt road and wait for them to come out of the fields and stop on the fence or small trees along the road - - it was an awesome experience.

Had to check out Little Cottonwood Canyon while home for some Rest & Relaxation. Found a couple of new spots and was happy to see the water is down from last month, I think it will be perfect for the shots I'm looking in August.

Had an idea that we could kinda go over the top on this one- I mean have you seen INSA's own shoots already- they are dope, always been a fan....so we got a little indulgent on this one.
Lit mainly by Matt and Tash, whilst I ran around snap snap snapping with the compact camera.
Styling By Ophelia Fancy, additional stylin tweaks by Bekah, and Hair and Mannequin MakeUp by the supremely ace Ciara McCarthy. Additional assistance by Scarlett. Button pressed by me.
Models Sally (floor) Sophie (standing) and Hannah (bath). No models were harmed in this image, or forced to eat Doughnuts....
see the whole shoot on film, here

you can book us via www.garage-studios.co.uk It really does make sense now doesnt it....
damn i put in the book but forgot here- the shoot was produced by A.Bronkhorst....
Had so much fun doing this !
Shortly before the theme was announced I discovered this little brass (?) pot in the basement and wondered if I could use it for a project. When I found out about the theme for this week, I thought it could surely serve as an oil lamp. I had in mind the same little book I used once before and watched a tutorial on how to put letters on subjects.
Now I should remind myself about the actual fairy tale, I must have read it very, very long ago.
Had to stop the car to capture this lonely tree while exploring the wide open spaces near Leamington, Ontario
We had been away for a while, and when we came back to our old country house, I saw this “spot” of about 1 cm² outside on the kitchen window. I thought a young bird had crashed and made this, but later noticed that the spot had changed shape. Taking a better look revealed that the spot was actually many small spider babies. Sometimes close in a bunch, later more spread, then close again. I let them live there until one day the spot was gone, and now I have hundreds of small spiders around my house, I guess :-)
Had a great day yesterday folks with a lot of action images and fly-by's, and the shooting has been wonderful, one of the better years in a while.
Have a great day everyone and thank you so much for stopping by to say hi.
I had forgotten about this photo (and the dress for that matter!) until I discovered it posted on a stranger's photostream. They removed it at my request, but it's kind of creepy the way just anyone can pirate our photos. If you see a friend's photo posted somewhere that doesn't seem right, let them know. Maybe we can at least slow down this nonsense. Now I'm going to dig thru my closet and rediscover that dress!
Had a walk around Beth Chatto gardens today with Jayne. The Butterflies certainly loved the magnificent flowers!
We had another hawk using the front yard to catch a meal. This is my friend You who was smart enough to hide in the old apple tree. This is a favorite tree to hide in. She kept peeking out to see if it was safe. She looked at me as if to ask for help. I stood near her figuring the hawk wouldn't come close to her because of my presence. Unfortunately a dove was taken that afternoon. One must die so another can eat and live another day which is the way of nature. Still makes me sad.
Had some time to grab the Canon and head down to Leura Cascades and shoot some running water. This shot looked interesting at the base of Bridal Veil falls.
On your way down to Bridal Veil Falls, stop at The Rock, a small partially fenced lookout, only about 10 metres off the pathway.
While you can’t see the falls from here, you’ll get a lovely view across the valley extending over to the cliffs where the falls are.
After leaving Leura Cascades you’ll come across the turnoff to walk down to the Bridal Veil Falls lookout.
This short walk will bring to within 150 metres of Bridal Veil Falls lookout.
From here you can look across to the falls and take a seat at the lookout and soak up the view across the Blue Mountains.
It’s an amazing view from up here, and the perfect place to sit and contemplate or just have some time to yourself.
With the amount of rain plummeting down it's a waterfall chasers dream.
If you ever get a chance to come up the top, Leura Cascades is one to visit.
Be warned though, the road into the falls is closed so you will need to park your car and walk in!
Had fun creating this for Smile on Saturday theme of pawns. Hope you all have a happy and safe weekend 😀
Had a lovely couple of hours in Hardwick park yesterday, the three of us. Took a huge tub of peanuts which got a lot of attention from the water birds, we were surrounded, mostly by ducks, who got really close, it was quite fun to watch them. A fun afternoon with a quacking bunch of nuts.
Had a mini dog shoot at the weekend, with these 2 adorable cocker spaniels.
I'm still not feeling my greatest some days, lacking in energy and have been finding social networking a bit overwhelming, but I still want to post on here some days. So I might not be able to reply to each individual comment as usual, hope you guys don't mind.
Having a break from Friday for the week, going to the Lake District with Antonio for some R&R. Looking forward to that. Have a good week, my friends.
Had a couple Bobcat encounters yesterday. Found this one an hour before sunset. Couldn't have asked for better lighting!
Had a nasty encounter while out walking tonight.

I wish I had had my regular Canon with me...this was taken just with my iPhone 6. Sorry it's a bit grainy. I knew if I had gone back to the house, my moment would be gone! Take what ya can get, right?! Such a wonderful shot, even if it's only captured with an iPhone! Hope you enjoy!
