Listen and watch....
Taken on a beautiful day in the Peak District with Tony (Guy@Fawkes) back in late July last year. We did NOT climb up that hill! :o)
This was a trip of two parts: the stormy days at the beginning of the trip (the images I have shown so far) and then much more sunny days in the second half of the trip. On these partially cloudy days I had some fun with long exposures, like this one.
Near Vulcan, Alberta, Canada.
If you'd like to read about this May 2025 trip to Alberta and Saskatchewan, feel free to check out my blog post about it.
If you'd like to see images from other trips to the Prairies (which I have taken since my first trip in 2013), check out my Prairies Album.
Came across this amazing house last weekend....I think the bank has quite the "lean" on it (hahaha).
Must have been quite the house in it's day...would love to know the history on it.
I went a couple steps further with the processing on this one. My attempt at making the shot a little more interesting. I have a series of candid street shots of tourists in the heart of Times Square... The rest of the shots will have a more natural treatment.
I've always wanted to try something like this since I first saw this image by Brooke Shaden and I finally got the chance when I worked with Hans!
an apple a day, right? ;)

We all need some one to lean on at some time in our life's, and it looks like its this old VW's time Thank god for a friendly wall.
I haven't posted in black and white for a while; so when I awoke and saw the fog I knew there was a chance to re-address this.
It had been raining very heavily when I saw this lily covered in raindrops. I like how it is leaning on one of the leaves.
Lean on Me
Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Bahia Honda Rail Bridge ~ last used 50 years ago
109 Year-Old Decaying Bridge to Nowhere
The Florida Keys U.S.A. ~ December 6th, 2020
*[left-double-click for a closer-look - 50 years of decay]
*[stands alone - 5055 feet long - 24 feet deep @ center]
*[it seems to be 'leaning to the left' - 'bent' by hurricane winds]
Bear with me. I felt compelled to do a series of shots of my favorite bridge in the world, with her magnificent colors of water and sky. I visit only once a year (for 46 straight years), and every time there is nobody here, leaving her and her ruins lonely and forgotten. I will never forget her beauty, or Henry Flagler. Thanks for looking.
The Bahia Honda Rail Bridge is a disused bridge in the lower Florida Keys connecting Bahia Honda Key with Spanish Harbor Key. Originally part of the Overseas Railway, the State of Florida purchased it after the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane and converted it to provide automobile use as part of the Overseas Highway in 1938. After a replacement Bahia Honda Bridge was opened in 1972, two spans of the bridge were removed (in the 80's) to accommodate boat traffic and make the majority of the bridge inaccessible to pedestrian traffic, but the rest remain standing. Red bridge-rust.
It was originally built by Henry Flagler as part of the Overseas Railroad which was completed in 1912. Flagler funded the construction of the bridge, along with the rest of the railway himself. It was purchased by the state of Florida and converted for highway use in 1938 after the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935. Rather than completely rebuilding the bridge after the hurricane, the existing structure was repaired and the deck for the Overseas Highway was added on top, as the existing deck inside the truss was too narrow for vehicular traffic. The bridge served as the primary mode of transport to the islands of the lower Keys, and as a primary evacuation route.
A new four-lane bridge was built in 1980, a few hundred yards north of the old bridge, replacing the old route of U.S. 1. Today, the former bridge provides a scenic overview of the area for tourists. Two of the truss spans have been removed in order to facilitate boat traffic, as the new bridge has an increased span height. The original bridge has fallen into a state of disrepair and signs have been posted on the bridge warning boat traffic to watch for falling debris, but all of the sections have remained standing (not counting the two that were removed). The easternmost section remains open to pedestrian traffic and is maintained by Bahia Honda State Park. Bahia Honda Rail Bridge ~ Spanish Harbor Key ~ Lower Keys

Lean On Me at a distance. After four years walking through these woodlands, I never noticed I could see the Lean On Me tree from across the lake. Using the 70-200, this scene has very nice isolation amidst the snowy forest. This was taken on Christmas Eve 2024.
Almost everything is in its waning stage now - this is "peak leaf" weekend for southern New England and the air is filled with newly liberated leaves riding the breezes slowly to the ground.
And the flower gardens are down now mostly to Black Eyed Susans, Japanese Anemone, Shasta Daisies, Cosmos, Marigolds, Mexican Sunflowers and the amazingly resilient Dalhias in all their vibrant colors and shapes.
Normally, you lean into a curve, but there's a spot on CSX's Monon Sub where a train tends to lean out, instead. There's a constant low spot in Dyer that the Maintenance department is always working on, but the soft subsoil tends to swallow all the ballast that the track dogs can throw at it. I caught Q643 doing the "lean" on its way south back in August of 2015. I've seen the lean here much worse than this, but you get the idea. A pair of old C40's, no longer on the roster, provide the horses this day. The 7532 is a little bit of a rarity for me - it has matching number boards. Seems that most of the CSX C40's I've seen usually had mismatching fonts. It was always interesting to see, just like seeing the outside lean.
What could be more fun than rolling around in the snow in -24C.

I almost think DHG and I were crazy for going inside a house this dilapidated. Almost, but not quite. The photos are well worth the risk.
My reasoning: the floor is holding up the piano....it'll definitely hold for DHG and me, there wasn't much left of the roof, just the aluminum siding and a few 2x4s.....that wouldn't kill either of us and if the floor did fall through, it wasn't far to the ground. In my mind = safe!
During these stay-home times, we are learning to lean on one another in virtual new ways. This old photo, from a Las Vegas makeover session back in 2011, made me think of that. I hope my gurl friends here feel they can lean on me! Stay safe!

Oxyopes macilentus, sometimes known as the lean lynx spider, is a species of lynx spiders from East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and northern Australia. They are active predators, hunting invertebrates (including other spiders) among vegetation. They are especially common in grassy areas and rice fields. Their bodies are characteristically long and thin, about four times as long as it is wide. Their body color ranges from pale white to yellow, orange, or green; with a... (Source: Wikipedia)
