THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL VIEWS, COMMENTS, FAVES AND INVITES! THEY ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
It's been a while since I posted a monochrome image so here is one of my favourite subjects in a high key format.
I had originally aimed to catch the Belhaven Bridge in bad weather with heavy skies and stormy waters but the forecast was so far off that I was met with sunbathers and the flattest seascape I think I've ever seen. Not a ripple!
Still, I alway say that you need to make the most of what is available so instead of mean and moody skies we have a bright light image of soft clouds and smooth milky water.
A nervous grizzly cub on high alert clings to its mother's back in a sedge grass meadow, Khutzeymateen estuary, BC. The cub has learned from its mother that male grizzly bears are dangerous (they can kill unrelated cubs) and when the pair are feeding in the open they always are alert for the presence of danger from males in the vicinity.

I found this pond partially frozen pond in the high Sierras outside of Oakhurst. I took pictures in different locations around the pond trying to get the right look. This was one of my favorites from the shoot.
Where in this wide world can man find
nobility without pride,
Friendship without envy,
Or beauty without vanity?
Here, where grace is served with muscle
And strength by gentleness confined
He serves without servility;
he has fought without enmity
. There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent.
There is nothing so quick, nothing more patient.
~Ronald Duncan, "The Horse," 1954
It's been quite awhile since I visited and shot High Falls. Yup...it's still as awesome as I remember. The lighting was very challenging, as the sun was directly in front of me and and high in the cloudless sky. Unfortunately, to get the water exposed properly, I had to underexpose the rest of the scene. I did bracket my shots, but honestly, didn't take the time to combine them.
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, --and done a hundred things....

The We’re Here challenge for 21 October 2016 is to post an appropriate photo to the group High Key Society. I thought it would be interesting to create a high key Halloween image – the opposite of the usual high contrast, vivid colors of the holiday.
Is your photostream looking a little pale lately? Get some colorful spirit - join We’re Here!
I am entering my High Key Halloween in the EXPLORE Worthy, Mini Challenge 14 - HALLOWEEN (Art from 2016).
High and dry. Beached, broken and faded red, white and blue.

With warmer temperatures these past several days, this wildflower was able to make an appearance...... just barely breaking through the snow cover.
High Brown Fritillary - Argynnis adippe
This large, powerful butterfly is usually seen flying swiftly over the tops of bracken or low vegetation in woodland clearings. In flight, the males are almost impossible to separate from those of the Dark Green Fritillary, which often share the same habitats. However, both species frequently visit flowers such as thistles and Bramble where it is possible to see their distinctive underside wing markings. The Dark Green lacks the orange ringed 'pearls' on the underside of the hindwing.
The High Brown Fritillary was once widespread in England and Wales but since the 1950s has undergone a dramatic decline. It is now reduced to around 50 sites where conservationists are working to save it from extinction.

Common Dog-violet (Viola riviniana) is used in all habitats, but Hairy Violet (V. hirta) is also used in limestone areas. It may occasionally use Heath Dog-violet (V. canina) and Pale Dog-violet (V. lactea).
The first rays of the rising sun touching the dinosaur shaped High stacks at Flamborough Head. The heat from the rising sun wakens the hundreds of seals sleeping on the pebble beach and the still morning air is filled with their cries.
All is relative: the Black-shouldered Kite flew low, yet the bee danced far above.

Waiting for the tide at Bosham harbour., as the evening wore on the clouds floated away to leave a rather uninteresting sunset, still it was nice to be out with Jane Lowena and my camera.
High tide and sunset tonight at around the same time so I think a wander up the River Adur to see what compositions I can find.
I took this photo a few weeks ago on my visit to high line. This is one of those shots that have been captured to death by many wonderful photographers. But, I just wanted one of my own. Let me know what you think!
This great EMD lash leads the manifest SUPNTW south and west over the Hinckley Sub over the Net River trestle through Holyoke.
Catching a green SD60 leading has been on the list for some time, and even though the weather was awful, I'll take it.

As soon as spring arrives, the sheep invade the foreshore to come and taste the halophilic plants. The sea flora charged with salt and iodine, combined with the long displacements, gives this so particular taste to the flesh of the lambs, very appreciated by the experts.
Taking the sheep to graze in the foreshore is a local tradition attested since at least the 15th century. Lambing takes place in the sheepfold during the winter, although some farmers schedule births in the spring to avoid supply shortages. For the first two or three months after birth, the lambs are fed mainly on their mother's milk. The animals are taken out in March after the high tides of the equinox and stay in the bay for a minimum of two and a half months, extending into the autumn.
Another shot taken on a memorable walk up to High Cup Nick with pal John Bleakley.
We had had a long day starting out early up on the Old Corpse Road above Haweswater before coming here for the afternoon. By this point we had climbed up to the top of the Nick from Dufton, (as you can see at the head of the valley here), and then descended the cliffs at the top, walking down to this spot by the wall and Gill.
The light just suddenly exploded with this low, golden, winter light illuminating the valley and the top of the Cliffs. It was just fabulous whilst it lasted and we fired off plenty of frames to capture the scene. Before the long walk back to Dufton in the dark.
