it was foggy early so i rushed outside

I think it's time to get a telescope!!! This is a fellow photographer that I met in Joshua Tree National Park. He, his sister and another photographer and myself hung out here for a couple of hours exchanging tips and friendly conversation.

We were looking for variations on different compositions since nobody there could find a comp with the arch and the MW that looked any good. At this time of year the MW is on the back side of the arch which is somewhat less photogenic than the front side. So I strapped a 50 LED police headlamp on this guys head and handed him my back up headlamp set to red LED mode and ask him to put that on the ground at his feet. After a little fiddling and a few test shots I ended up with this composition. Hope you like it!!! :)

I will be heading back here in June when the MW is in a much better position. :)

This was shot at the White Tank Campground on the Arch rock loop.

Please leave a comment if you like this photo and thank you for taking the time to take a look at my photos and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great day everyone :)

Paddy can land on a sixpence .. Elk's beginning to defer to Pad's as she's realising just as Mist does with having her that's she's got a Pad's that does that so why bother!

It's all connected, and, somehow, it's all in balance. And that's, of course, when you go, 'Yes!' :-)

After the processing, this song popped up in my head:

'Paint It Black' by The Rolling Stones.

The first to lines are:

""I see a red door and I want it painted black.

No colours anymore, I want them to turn black.""

Sweet memories of Schiermonnikoog ;-))

Happy weekend!

A sou-easter whipping up a big swell

It feels like forever since I've been on Flickr and have missed all of you. I feel like I am finally on the road to recovery. It will take some time for me to get back to commenting on everyone's images - so you may just get faves for a bit. So happy to be back!

It's not easy being 10... and 40... at the same time, in the same body.

Forty just wants to get her work done... meet her deadlines... pay the bills.

Ten... of course... wants to go out and play. It's a never ending struggle.

They both wanted to do this pic... In fact, they've wanted to do it for ages, but 40's been too busy working. They got some time to themselves this afternoon, and 10 totally insisted.

Then 40 started getting all bogged down in editing... trying to make the pic look better.

But 10 stepped in and said... We're running out of time! The sun's going down... the dog needs a walk... and we have a dinner to go to tonight.

So... yeah. Pretty messy. But hey. That's what you get when you trust these things to a 10-year old.

Although it did not last long it was good seeing that white stuff covering the trees,

And I had my now blower all ready to go:-)

All my dear Flickr friends.

Now it's time for me to say goodbye.

My body is not doing so well anymore and my time is spent trying to rebuild my health.

I also have a son, seriously ill with cancer, and I want to be together as much as possible, with him and his family.

It's hard to describe how much all the friends on Flickr have meant over the years. All the warmth, encouragement, inspiration has been a daily joy. A big thank you to everyone. The Flickr community is unbeatable.

I wish you all the best and great luck in the future.

It is amazing the climbing ability and balance that the Great Heron has when looking for it's next meal!

The severe angle of this tree, and the evidence of complete surgery of all of its limbs, was not enough to destroy its ability to survive. Fresh branches have sprouted...I hope it makes it.

Ironically, this tree survives at a "ghost town" , Glen Haven, Michigan.
