Because we can all use a little HOPE in this crazy world. This is straight from the camera, except for my watermark and removing some noise. I can hardly believe it myself so I don't expect you to. I'm going to put myself out there which I don't normally do. I am so tired of everything going wrong and yesterday was the straw that broke the camel's back, after that I took a look on Instagram and saw the most incredible shots and videos and thought to myself why bother shooting, how can anyone be interested in what I post after seeing that...leaving me very uninspired and hopeless. This morning something woke me up like someone threw sand in my eyes, rubbing sleepy, itchy eyes like crazy saying WTF to myself only to look out the window and witness this. It was all God and Nature... I just pressed the button on the 7D Mark II.
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.": — Romans 15:13,
"Do not lose hope, nor be sad.": — Quran 3:139
Even in the darkest moments, there is light.
(BTW- Whoever said money can't buy happiness is BS)

Heartfelt thanks to the incredible work the NHS, keyworkers & community project spirit are doing in South East London.
Wild camp on Stanage Edge last night.
I had the whole edge to myself from about 20:00 on. Set up about 30 mins after a pretty dramatic sunset which I'll post tomorrow. Forecast wasn't even close giving clear skies until about 5am before high cloud came in. It was the opposite way around. Alarm was set for 4am and when I unzipped the tent I was surrounded by cloud which began to clear by 5am. I packed up and was back at the van for 04:45.
I had planned to get to Over Owler Tor for sunrise but the cloud was far too low so decided to beat the traffic and check what Hope Valley looked like. I ended up on the road to Blue John Cavern to check the view and see if it was worth the walk up Winnats or Mam Tor. Much clearer and looking back down the valley I was pleased I'd left so early otherwise I'd have been packing away under the rain in the distance.
Not the best nights sleep so didn't bother with Winnats or Mam Tor and ended up watching the clouds and sky changing colour sat on the bench on the left with a coffee. Took a few shots which have come out okay and this was a 5 shot pano.
Managed to get my pack weight down to 13kgs now including a litre of water which was fine for the mile or so walk along Stanage to where I camped. Wouldn't like to walk much further at the moment. Only issue is to get the weight down further either requires taking just one lens or spending hundreds on super lightweight gear which I'm not going to do.
Enjoyable evening but those grouse are noisy little sods:)

He who plants a tree, plants a hope... (Lucy Larcom)
To plant hope, I myself didn't plant a tree, but I created one.
For, while the tale of how we suffer, and how we are delighted, and how we may triumph is never new, it always must be heard.
There isn't any other tale to tell, it's the only light we've got in all this darkness.
- James Baldwin
With lots of rain and high water, it has been a slow, late start to the Least Bittern nesting season. But this male bird in breeding plumage was actively courting a shy mate so there is yet hope for nature to take its course on Horsepen Bayou.
An R. J. Corman empty coal drag emerges from the tunnel near Mount Hope, WV along the Loup Creek Branch. RJCC 7107 along with two SD40T-2's guide the train up to the Alpha Metallurgical Resources loadout in Pax, WV while a pair of CSX engines shove the rear.
The day's walk up to the most northerly munro was rewarded with wonderful views down to the Flow Country ( a rolling expanse of peatland and wetland ).
It certainly was boggy - but my dogs were enjoying it! Islay was mesmerised by the summit view or was it a red deer she had heard...
I hope you'll enjoy my work! Thank you for your support!

The look through the camera is like a door to another world.
A view of the Coast Path sign and the great little village of Hope Cove. Sorry for lack of commenting due to visiting family. If you go right you end up at beautiful Bantham and if you go left you end up at the great coastal town of Salcombe.

The longer I was sitting on the snowy rocks by the lake the more I was starting to feel the process of freezing inside my body, as if the blood in my veins were starting to turn into ice, just like the veins I was seeing on the surface of the frozen lake in front of me.
Then a thought came to me; how many people out there were feeling exactly the same sensations in their bodies right at that moment, and how many of them had sunlight, a shelter, a sign of hope rising in front of them to warm them up again?
I couldn't think for long, I couldn't stay for long. The sunlight didn't warm me up and the shelter wasn't safe enough for me to go in.
I stood up and Ieft. I went back home.
That morning I felt grateful for my shelter, and fearful for those who are without any.
For those who's hopes and veins remain frozen in their lakes.

*Working Towards a Better World
Hope springs eternal in the human breast;
Man never Is, but always To be blest.
The soul, uneasy, and confin'd from home,
Rests and expatiates in a life to come. - Alexander Pope,
An Essay of a Man
Learn from yesterday,
Live for today,
Hope for Tomorrow. -
Albert Einstein
Hope is necessary in every condition. The miseries of poverty, sickness, of captivity, would, without this comfort, be insupportable. - Samuel Johnson
Hope never abandons you, you abandon it. - George Weinberg
He who has never hoped can never despair. -

Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow them. - Louisa May Alcott
When the world says, ‘Give up,’ Hope whispers, ‘Try it one more time.’ - Anon
Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible and achieves the impossible. - Anon
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
A Northern Spotted Owl juvenile.
This day it took me 40 mins to locate one of the juveniles. I could consistently hear it yet miserably failed to find it. Finally when I located the source of the sound, it was evidently clear that I have a lot to learn.
I spent another few minutes to photograph (which I posted earlier). Then, when the sunlight was nearly gone and I started walking back, just down the trail I heard the same familial sound.
I slowly looked back and there it was. I don't know if it is the same juvenile or the sibling, but she/he was only few feet from me. For the next few minutes it followed me closely, and I stopped intermittently to take a few images in the dimmest light I have ever taken an (wildlife) image.
The day could not have ended any better. The efforts of many months finally paid off with an unforgettable memory, and with a little 'hope' that we can live together.
"Where flowers bloom, so does hope." Lady Bird Johnson
I chose this title because my orchids bloomed for the third time under my care! I've never had much luck with these flowers and don't know how long this run will last, but I have hope!
I've just been going over some of my older Christmas pictures and came across this one of Asha when she was 3 years old taken in our hall. This wee platform at the bottom of the stairs was Asha's stage were I took most of her early pictures. As soon as she seen me in the hall with the camera I didn't have to tell her to go to her normal posing position on this platform at the bottom of the stairs she automatically did it..lol. I didn't have any lighting when taking these pictures so maybe the picture quality isn't the sharpest but I like the angle this picture was taken and off-couse a young wee Asha looking so wide eyed and full of the joys of Christmas. Wonderful memories that will live in my heart forever...
The little man sings quietly to himself,
“This little light of mine. I’m gonna let it shine…”
No one can take away your light.
Keep it close to your heart.
Stay strong. Stand tall.
And remember that when we shine together
the world is so much brighter.
Let it shine. Let it shine. Let it shine!
Sending love, light, and hope, my friends.
Back in the spring of 2019, Zach and I checked off the Mohawk Adirondack and Northern on the must "do" list. We had found out that they were planning on making a run from Utica north to Boonville, NY with empty propane cars for storage with all three engines. Another early morning departure from the house got us to Utica just before dawn to witness the sights and smell of Schenectady smoke. seeing a big train on the main to Boonville was certainly cool. After spotting the empty propane cars north of town, they returned to "downtown" Boonville to give Bailey Feeds a quick switch. Here, MA&N C-425 2456 dips down to the spot track to grab an empty grain car. It is quite an illusion, but in reality there is no room for error in spotting cars here. This was a great day, thanks to our friends at the MA&N with Centuries and lots of sun. April 16, 2019.
