Last night, I dreamt about a yellow and pink rose.

Light on the path.

Mesmerized at the sight of this black forest with a couple of white birch trees and these winter reluctant leaves dancing for us.

You may say i'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one...

Taken with my Pentacon AV 80mm vintage lens.

On our trip to Yellowknife and the Southern Arctic in 2019, I was so fortunate to see and photograph spectacular Northern Lights for the first time. They were absolutely mesmerizing to watch. This night gave me a particularly stunning show as the lights swirled around in the sky. I wanted to try a time lapse the next night, but as luck would have it, they were very weak. Taken in Fort Providence, Northwest Territories. I was hoping for another trip this fall but COVID put an end to that. Hopefully next year 2021.

Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.

The "Jambeiros" are beautiful Malaysian trees, but they have acclimated so well to the conditions of the American tropics that they seem native to the land. In the North, Northeast and Southeast of Brazil, an orchard without at least one "Jambo" tree is rare.

The best known among them, the red jambo, or pink jambo (Eugenia malaccensis), is born in large trees, also with large leaves, whose crown has a pyramidal shape. This jambeiro, extremely ornamental, offers, at the same time, beauty, good shade and sweet fruits to the lucky ones who know and can dispose of it.

Its many flowers, beautiful and colorful with pink and lilac, when they fall form under the trees a carpet of beautiful effect.

The fruits, red on the outside and white on the inside, have a sweet taste reminiscent of pears but with a strong flower scent.

This picture is not as sharp as I would like, but the compact shade of the tree and the fact that the flower comes straight from the trunk made perfect exposure even at higher ISO difficult.

I used the Mesmerized pose by Gravity Poses - from the Herselfie gacha collection available at the Four Seasons event from 8th Jan.

My first attempt at creating bubbles. Taken through a rather dirty window, hence the texture.

This picture, taken a few years ago, gives a vague idea of ​​the effect that many stamens have on the ground: a carpet tinted in vivid pink with a great visual impact.

Her look is simply mesmerizing everyone....my Beauty Coco:)

Those golden eyes have a hold on my mind and I just can't seem to look away. I am transfixed by the beauty and intensity of this Short-eared Owl.

Can anyone argue with that description?

This by-the-way is the Jpg

As most of you will know editing in RAW usually produces an improved finished article

Not this time

Whatever I tried in RAW the original Jpg (In my eyes at least) just looked better

So a simple crop and upload!

A shame it's not always that simple

Y 6 días después volvimos al mismo lugar en busca de las condiciones que se nos habían negado en la primera. Esta vez el agua corría limpia y pudimos entrar al río (eso si, con mucho cuidado ya que la corriente era fuerte aún, resbalaba muchísimo y no dejaba de llover). La verdad que la mayor parte del tiempo la dediqué a esta foto. Todos los helechos bailaban al ritmo que marcaba el aire que salía por la fuerza que traía el agua, sobre todo el helecho hiperactivo del primer plano. Metidos ahí en ese agujero la luz brillaba por su ausencia así que la velocidad de disparo tenía que ser lo suficiente rápida como para que no se moviera pero lo suficientemente lenta para que el agua tuviera un pelín de seda (no me entusiasma demasiado la seda, pero al menos dar al agua esa sensación de movimiento y fuerza. Además el diafragma cerradito para poder enfocar algo más sobre todo el helecho. Siempre que puedo, y como en este caso, intento que las fotos sean en un solo disparo para no complicarme mucho después a la hora de editar. Con esas condiciones y parámetros, os podéis imaginar que ISO usado es un disparate, pero para eso está. Adivinarías su valor?

Por cierto, la foto en compañía de mi amigo Jorge @jorgereyazabal . Habéis visto ya la foto que sacó ese mismo día? 😍😍

Just wondering if I can hypnotise you... ;-)

Another one from Mount Si, a bit up the road from the first. The fog is burning off FAST and the mountain is making it's appearance and having never been here before I was mesmerized.

Let me know when you get tired of these, I could go on for a while..... :-)

This shot is from a place from where I haven't been posting yet ! Quebec. This is Waber Falls from the Mauricie National Park Ok, it's not Iguacu or Niagara Falls but still, this is a very scenic waterfall with a big advantage : much less tourists than the two mentionned previously haha. Here's the reason : to get there you need to row about 4km (upstream because it wouldn't be funny otherwise !!) and then hike a few kilometers. It's not hard (but trying to carry you camera stuff on a kayak and not wet it is a bit harder haha) but accessing the waterfall requires enough time and energy to screen a loooot of people ! So okay, you probably won't be alone there but it won't be crowded (especially now since most people are back to school/work). It's definitely worth it !

I would love to go back there during the autumn to shoot this scenery with orange colors. I like this picture so I decided to share it with you guys but in my opinion it could have been better with a tripod... Because yes, I forgot one of the piece of the tripod in the car so I had to build a support with rocks in the middle of the stream in order to be able to do a long exposure shot. So please be gentle with the lack of sharpness in this picture ;)

I hope you'll like it anyway ! Feel free to comment or put it in you favorites, it's always nice to have a feedback ! :)

When you are compelled to follow a strong force, be careful where you step. It may be at your own peril.

The beauty of this place was overwhelming. I was delightfully entranced!
