On the path that leads to nowhere, I have sometimes found my soul.
-- Corinne Roosevelt Robinson
While visiting Big Sky Montana back in 2015 we were told by a park ranger at Yellowstone NP where the grizzly bears were taken if they became too curious with or had interactions with stupid people doing stupid things in the park. Having seen and photographed my first Black bear in the park the day before…in a crowd of 50 other tourists’ shoulder to shoulder, my desire to see and capture a grizzly was off the charts!
The next morning a friend and I jumped in the car and headed to the truly in the middle of nowhere location provided by the ranger. For miles and miles, there were no fences, power lines, chem trails…no sign at all of what time period we were in. The timing of our quest was perfect as an early morning passing shower ignited a faint sweet smell to the cleanest of air…truly heaven on earth! The granting of a double rainbow was just sensory overload!
Looking down into the stream below, I noticed a beautiful granite bolder just below the surface of the storm’s runoff. In an example set by my mother since childhood, I climbed in and collected the rock to take home to provide a physical piece to the memory of a special place and time.
Today this rock is in our yard. Even though it’s been 10 years, I can still smell that sweet Montana post storm, morning air every time I see it.

At 444 lightyears from earth they are probably the best open star cluster in the sky. The bright young hot stars are thought to be passing through a dust cloud thus creating reflection nebulae. The clustering will eventually be lost due to local gravitational interactions.

"Located about 200 km southwest of St. John’s, Cape St. Mary’s Ecological Reserve also known as “the Cape” is one of Newfoundland and Labrador’s major seabird colonies. During the breeding season, it is home to 30,000 Northern gannet, 20,000 black-legged kittiwake, 20,000 common murre, and 2,000 thick-billed murre. In addition, more than 100 pairs of razorbill, more than 60 pairs of black guillemot, plus double-crested and great cormorant, and Northern fulmar nest there.
What makes it so spectacular, however, is that all these birds can be seen from land, as close as 10 metres away.
Most of the Northern gannets, for example, make their nests on “Bird Rock”-a 100-metre-tall stack of sandstone that is separated from the viewing area by a chasm only a few metres wide. The gannets’ courtship, nesting, and feeding behaviours, interactions, and delicate flying manoeuvres over the crowded sea stack are endlessly fascinating and easily observed from the natural, cliff-top viewing area, even on foggy days."
With 200 foggy days per year, I got lucky. The ecological centre and parking lot are just visible in the fog - upper right. Bird Rock is just on my left from this camera (phone) angle.
Gadwall in my experience is usually a ‘calm’ species, but this spring day in southern Alberta, Canada, saw a kerfuffle with three males displaying to one female. All the birds were vocalizing to further express their interest in matters. This happened at Reunion Pond in the city of Airdrie.
Drakaea is a genus of 10 species in the orchid family commonly known as hammer orchids. All ten species occur only in the south-west of Western Australia. Hammer orchids are characterised by an insectoid labellum that is attached to a narrow, hinged stem, which holds it aloft. The stem can hinge only backwards, where the broadly winged column carries the pollen and stigma. Each species of hammer orchid is pollinated by a specific species of thynnid wasp. There are at least 2000 species of thynnid wasps in Australia, although only around 600 have been named so far. Thynnid wasps are unusual in that the female is flightless and mating occurs when the male carries a female away to a source of food. The labellum of the orchid resembles a female thynnid wasp in shape, colour and scent. Insect pollination involving sexual attraction is common in orchids but the interaction between the male thynnid wasp and the hammer orchid is unique in that it involves the insect trying to fly away with a part of the flower.

Apologies for my lack of interaction on here. Things are rather busy at the moment which has left me little time for social media and photography. I do have a few wintery images that I want to share though, and they will look pretty strange if I upload them in the spring or summer.

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating and stay safe! ❤️❤️❤️
The early morning light was just right and there were not that many people along the beautiful river bank …a perfect setting for wedding shooting. I was happy to be able to take this lovely snapshot showing the somewhat amusing interaction between the photographer and the bride (or bride-to-be).

"One Night" is a short screenplay set in a 1920s speakeasy in New Amsterdam, New York. It follows the interaction between Lily, a struggling burlesque dancer, and Detective Jackson. Lily's performance catches the detective's attention, leading him to strike up a conversation with her backstage. Despite their initial guardedness, they share a moment of connection, hinting at the possibility of a deeper relationship in the future. The screenplay explores themes of loneliness, connection, and the search for understanding in the midst of a bustling, yet isolated, nightlife scene.
Fade In:
INT. SPEAKEASY - NIGHT
LILY, a troubled burlesque dancer, performs on stage amidst the smoky, dimly lit atmosphere. DETECTIVE JACKSON, rugged and observant, watches from the bar.
DETECTIVE JACKSON
(to the BARTENDER)
Who's the dame up there?
BARTENDER
Lily. A real beauty, but troubled.
DETECTIVE JACKSON
Mind if I have a word with her?
BARTENDER
Tread lightly.
Detective Jackson approaches Lily backstage as she removes her makeup.
DETECTIVE JACKSON
Mind if I join you?
LILY
(surprised)
Sure.
DETECTIVE JACKSON
You're quite the performer.
LILY
Thanks. It's the only thing I'm good at.
DETECTIVE JACKSON
I don't believe that for a second.
LILY
(curious)
And what makes you say that?
DETECTIVE JACKSON
Call it a hunch. There's a story behind those eyes.
LILY
Maybe there is. But it's not one I share with just anyone.
DETECTIVE JACKSON
Fair enough. If you ever feel like talking, you know where to find me.
LILY
Thanks, detective. Maybe I'll take you up on that offer someday.
They share a moment before Detective Jackson leaves.
DETECTIVE JACKSON
Until then, Lily. Take care of yourself.
Lily watches him go, feeling a newfound connection.
Fade Out.

Audience interaction is one way of making live performances more interesting, like the Amanda Lee Swingtet performing the works of jazz singer Nat King Cole here. After all, nothing is better than two way communication to keep audiences involved.
I spotted this little foal with its mum in one of the sheep fields that I pass by most mornings since we've been in lockdown. Today they came right to the gate which made it harder to photograph them because of the bars.

Black Wolves. The lighter wolf is in season and trying to eat the deer leg. This male kept trying to mount her and always got this response.
Despite the fact that Svalbard islands aren't considered to be one of the best places for viewing the northern lights because they hang as a big doughnut shaped curtain around the magnetic north pole, approximately along the 69th parallel. (This curtain normally runs south of Svalbard and north of Iceland. Northern Scandinavia is straight in it's path )However one night we got super lucky viewing some activity in an area with absolutely no light pollution
I've hear a lot of hard luck stories in the past 36 hours. Random interactions with cabbies and short order cooks. People out of jobs, down on their luck, and low on faith. This guy, who mumbled "canyouspare" with such a thick Indian accent that it sounded like a ritual chant, stopped me in my tracks. When he saw me with the camera he stopped his lilting repetitions and shouted, "TAKE MY PICTURE!" Loud. So loud people -- New Yorkers -- up & down the block stopped and held their breath for a second. I stared at him, trying to determine whether he meant to stick a "DON'T" in front of that order. And then he said, "I just want to be remembered. Take it."
And I gave him the change in my pocket.

Located on the opposite side of the Red Planet, Orion Station is a hub for interplanetary meetings among Martians. Three portal structures connect to this command meeting station, floating over a surprisingly lush understory, at least for the Martian wasteland anyway. Colonies of Martians such as the Antares, the Centarui, and the Vega meet at this hub to hold council with the intelligence of Reigel and his aid, Arcturus.
A homage to the 2001 Life on Mars Lego theme, inspired the color Sand Purple. A fun theme that explored the peaceful interaction between human and alien life on Mars' surface. If any LEGO space theme were to make a return, I hope it carries heavy influence from the peaceful line.
Not only does Orion Station feature a communal hub for Martian life, it sits atop a site of ancient necessity visited frequently by the patrons. Here a sect of the Vega clan enjoy the fascinations of their ancient world. Not being known for their intellect, this sect solely ponders why this rock head is so big.
The Martian colony of the Centarui are best known for the bravery through protection of the other groups. A simple and respectable group, they choose to care for others over their themselves in a form of protection while showing no aggression to new comers unless absolutely necessary.
Each solstice a communal celebration is held at Orion Station. Martians share different cultures and ideas from each of their sects, and enjoy the beautiful, even though largely barren, landscape beneath the hub.
Princess Cassiopeia is surprised by Hoodlum Altair! Rascally Altair is up to no good as usual...
(I really don't know anything about the Life on Mars story or lore if there even was any, its been fun making up stuff though. The lime green guy named Altair just has a goofy hair pattern, never was a fun of that head as much as the others. And the other old purple Martian, Cassiopeia, is fantastic in that color.)
Local Mizar colonists point and laugh as an Earthling rover studies rocks! Silly rover, that rock is the same as the other ones.
Name of the creation is "interaction". Things like atoms, colours, shapes, etc. are interacting with each other to create something.
In a chemical reaction, the atoms and molecules are interacting with each other. The above shapes and colours are interacted with each other and created my picture ( physical interaction).
