A Flower

Have you ever heard

of a flower that never needs

Water, soil, or sunshine?

A flower that stays in full bloom

Through summer and winter

Through good times and bad

A flower that rarely gets smaller,

growing endlessly.

A few lost petals,

A little droop,

but, without a doubt,

it will always regrow

into something more beautiful.

I have one of those.

I call it Love.

Walking on the beach at Llandanwg looking for more unusual find's!!!

Llandanwg Beach sits between the towns of Barmouth and Harlech on the southern side of Tremadog Bay. It is also part of the wider Snowdonia National Park and situated close to the pretty Afon Dwyryd estuary.

The sand dunes to the back of the beach conceal the tiny church of Saint Tanwg which dates from the 13th century. A small path winds through the dunes and leads you to the beach from the central car park area or you can take a trail from Cardigan Bay. As you sit on the pristine sands you will also be able to enjoy vistas of the rugged Rhinog Mountains in the distance.

The beach here shelves gently into the sea making this a good place to swim, although there is no lifeguard so care should be taken. When the tide is low, it reveals a causeway out to pretty Mochras which is also known by its local nickname of Shell Island due to the plethora of different hued shells found on the its beach.

Due to its strategic position, Llandanwg Beach is shielded from the well known Welsh winds which can be a little fresh at times meaning that you can enjoy this area even in the off-season. The beach is also well-loved by locals including fisherman who come here for the plentiful supplies of bass, mackerel, flatfish, and dogfish. With that in mind keen anglers will find plenty to do here, or you can explore dainty rock pools or simply go for a stroll on the soft, pristine sand.

Amenities at Traeth Llandanwg include disabled access and the village is also home to the quaint Y Maes Cafe close to the beach which operates from June to October.

Really nice night of colour and reflections. The couple in the image just stood and watched till the sun was well over the horizon, helping my picture come together nicely!!!

St. James United Church

Built 1889 on Sainte Catherine Street in Montreal.

From Wikipedia: In 1927, to cover upkeep costs, the church permitted a commercial building to be built in front of its Sainte Catherine Street façade. The building, adjoining the church's structure, concealed the church for over 78 years, the church itself being announced by a large neon sign.

In 2005, as part of an $8-million restoration effort sponsored by the city of Montreal and the Quebec government, a portion of the commercial buildings were demolished, once again revealing the facade of the church as well as a new public square designed by Quebec architect Claude Cormier. Access has also been restored to the rear lawn from Sainte Catherine Street.

I always think of cheese and bitterly cold winters when I think of Wisconsin, but the AG industry in Wisconsin is evident throughout the state.

Frozen leaves abandoned in a heap.

I find many more red doors than yellow ones.

Colmer's Hill, Symondsbury, Dorset

So it's yesterday evening and various weather apps are saying there is a chance of fog in Dorset but only 1 of them says anything about it being at one of the specific locations I'm thinking of. So do I give in to the temptation dangled by a recent Daniel Wreatham video on YouTube and wake up at 02:30 😣to then drive 1hr 45mins to Colmer's Hill where 1 app indicates there will be a little mist or have another 30mins in bed and go to Corfe Castle where none of the apps say fog will be present but if it's anywhere nearby it's normally there?

I decide to set my alarm for 02:30 and see if I get up and have my coffee made in time for Colmer's Hill which I have only scouted once, nearly a year ago. Well as you can tell in the end the lure of a new location overcame the draw of Corfe partly because I expected there to be a lot of people on West Hill this morning and I hate crowds as much as a certain Mr Hardcastle!

Having done a scouting trip and armed with the Dorset Fotovue book I set out at stupid O'clock for the long(ish) drive. I managed to get the last space in the layby by Quarr Ln (I think the two cars there were from the houses opposite) and set off to climb to the top of Quarry Hill in the dark and find a shooting spot.

The above 6 shot pano was taken mid way through Blue hour before some of the higher clouds coloured up but at the time when you see the light and colour changing by the second and can realise what a wonderful world we live in despite Mr. P's megalomania and all the cost of living stuff we are all suffering from. The period with the light doesn't last long but it's truly my favourite time of the day.

As you can see from the photo I did get a bit of a reward for the effort. Nowhere near as epic as that Daniel Wretham video but he is a pro so has more freedom to come when he wants and he did say he'd been trying for years with no luck previously.

That's the thing with us Togs...we always know no matter how good or bad a shot we take is there is the chance of bettering it if we come back enough.

To those in the UK enjoy your long weekend. For me next weekend will be a doubly new experience as it will be my first shoot in Northumberland and also the first photography workshop I have attended! Wish me good weather and good photos everyone please!

This photo was taken at 10:15 this morning. The sun hasn't"t made it completely over the ridge behind the house. Woodbury Lake, East Calais, Vermont.

Having navigated my way around half a dozen logging trucks grinding their way over the Kaimai ranges on State Highway 29 a day earlier, I'm more convinced than ever that we need more of these logs on the East Coast Main Trunk (ECMT) - shown here at Omokoroa.
