#6 on Explore ! Thanks to QueenBetsy for the FP shot.

Fall on a stick. Taken during a rare moment when the sun came out. I know. Shocking.

Thanks to Jim for the title.

It was such a fun trip to this waterfall for the first time a while back. Decided to reprocess a shot because the previous one was done on a calibrated screen for print and once I uploaded it on the web the colors were weird and dead.

This is another example of having an idea but not being able to get the envisioned execution. So much that can be improved upon but I've taken too much time to work on it today.

I had a half hour to kill so I landed in the arboretum... found this little Gooseneck Loosestrife quite interesting.

Wasn't in love with last night's shot so I decided to have another go with this setup.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Atlantic puffin (Fratercula arctica), also known as the common puffin, is a species of seabird in the auk family. It is the only puffin native to the Atlantic Ocean; two related species, the tufted puffin and the horned puffin are found in the northeastern Pacific. The Atlantic puffin breeds in Russia, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Greenland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and the Faroe Islands, and as far south as Maine in the west and France in the east. It is most commonly found in the Westman Islands, Iceland. Although it has a large population and a wide range, the species has declined rapidly, at least in parts of its range, resulting in it being rated as vulnerable by the IUCN. On land, it has the typical upright stance of an auk. At sea, it swims on the surface and feeds on small fish and crabs, which it catches by diving underwater, using its wings for propulsion.

I did some minor enhancement in PS using duplicate layers, but no additional coloring, special effects, filters, etc. were used.

Taken with the old Super-Takumar 50mm f/1.4

(I must have stopped it down though, probably to f/2.8).

The wind is blowing it from South West to North East

Happy Sunday!

Just hanging out during quarantine. ;)

'Hang on

Darling,

And don't let go.

Just hold tight

Baby,

And feel me.

We're slowly moving closer,

We feel the night calling.

I could fly you away,

Euphoria awaits...

I could fly you away,

Euphoria awaits...'

A dried up Black Walnut leaf hanging on a leafless Native Dogwood branch. November seems hell bent on scouring out every last bit of color, blowing and freezing our landscapes into an endless sea of grays.
