As we move from social distancing to staying home to self-isolation we must remember that there is always hope especially as we direct our thoughts, concerns, and actions outward.
October 2020 and the very first visit to the Lakes this year due to you know what...
It was so good to get back up here again as I've really missed it, the Autumn colours are just starting to turn and even though it poured down for a large part of the day it didn't matter.
This was our first stop off point on this day and the water levels in the lake were absolutely perfect for this, the last time I came here you couldn't even see the old jetty beneath the water, the timing on this was really lucky too as pretty much as soon as I had got this shot it started to rain...
Huge thanks to Mike Tonge too for letting me borrow his cable release to get this portrait version, seeing as mine was playing up, that's now been whizzed into the bin...
Anyway, great to be back, and a couple more images to come.
The new little boathouse on the opposite side of the water is a welcome new feature.

So, yesterday it arrived as promised........Snow, and I was day off! Un(Freaking)believable!
This was actually the last shot of the day but the others are taking a little longer to perfect and I have some other bits to work on so they will have to wait!
This has to be my favourite "lone tree" so far! I hope you lot like it!
Yesterday afternoon was frustrating waiting to figure out where to go...I waited too long at one spot along I-17, then finally raced northwest of Wickenburg, only to see some isolated storms fire up south of me and I changed directions. As I am headed south towards Tonopah, I see this guy to the west and suddenly a bolt fires. I find whatever flat ground I can and do my best to capture this bolt before it quickly died out. So rare to find a crazy isolated storm like this, much less at sunset and with lightning...wish it had last longer!
So technical thought for those learning (me included!)...I let auto-focus do this for me because I was in a hurry, but it's not as sharp as I would want. Using live view right after let me hone in perfectly. With lightning especially, using live view to focus when you can will make all the difference in getting sharp shots. Or knowing your perfect infinity spot on your lens!

We have an isolated nettle plant in our alleyway, far from any others. Yesterday, I noticed that suddenly all the leaves had disappeared. Looking closer, I spotted a caterpillar, then another, then four altogether. My son identified red admiral butterfly larvae and we decided quickly that they must be transferred to another larger nettle further up the garden if they were going to survive. They were carefully removed from the solitary stripped plant and relocated in time for their supper. This morning they are chomping away happily.
Isolated, surfing the waves of life, swallowing water and surfacing, until the arrival of the next wave.
On a slanted hill, stands a slanted tree, which indicates some very strong winds go through this area of Sonoma County.
It was indeed! Passed over me in about 4mins! Big raindrops too!!
This was yesterday on my Lantern Pike trig hunt!!
Beautiful up there on the hills!!
Hidden away in a narrow side canyon of Carnarvon Gorge, is this isolated community of ferns dominated by Angiopteris evecta. Protected naturally from fire and grazing and now from tourists this community is an isolated outlier. It is well watered by seepage from the Precipice sandstone that forms the walls of the canyon.
Angiopteris evecta is commonly known as the king fern, or in our region it is also known as Fraser Island Fern, for that is the other location where they are known to grow, naturally. (We have some in our fernery!) It is a very large rainforest fern in the family Marattiaceae native to most parts of Southeast Asia and Oceania. Fraser Island is a coastal sand mass and yet it supports rain forests including this giant fern. If that is not unique enough, the photographed example is at a location 500 kms away and 500 kms from the coast and in the grazing region of central Queensland!
It has a history dating back about 300 million years, and is believed to have the longest fronds of any fern in the world.
Angiopteris evecta is a self-supporting evergreen perennial fern with very large bipinnate fronds. The trunk-like rhizome is massive, measuring up to 1 m in diameter. The older portions of the rhizome lie on the ground while the newer growth may rise vertically up to 1.5 m high.
The arching, glossy green fronds, which emerge from the tip of the rhizome, may reach up to 9 m long and 2.5 m wide, with the fleshy green petiole (leaf stem) making up 2 m of that length. They are recognized as the longest fern fronds in the world. Despite their enormous size they have no woody strengthening tissues in the fronds to keep them erect—instead they are supported entirely by the hydraulic pressure of the sap.
I loved this lovely old barn alone on a hill.
Saskatchewan, Canada.
I wrote a blog post about my springtime Saskatchewan trip that has some behind-the-scenes pics and stories which you might enjoy.
I love photographing on the Canadian Prairies and I've been travelling there to do so since 2013. If you'd like to see my other Prairie images, feel free to take a look at the album.
