Lyon, France

...and enjoy the soft clicking sound of the shutter.

Lantana's are a true study of geometry in Nature!

...for Easter Sunday. Have a good one, everyone!

That's where we find Fall color in Southern Louisiana.

Tervueren dog (Begian Shepherd)

I got wrapped up with re-processing this image, so I might as well share it.

Yeah, I'm still rooting through all the shots I took at Lake Bruin. I guess I need to get out more, eh...

Begian shepherd .... ein Tervueren-Welpe hat uns heute begleitet .... :)

Again, I don't know what this is, but it was growing several feet out from the edge of the pond. Green is everywhere, now!

Sorry, guys. I just can't quit posting them...

In case you can't tell, I had a really great day at Bryce... :)

This old auto (along with another one) was abandoned in what used to be the front yard of a house that, I assume, burned down at some point. It's located right next door to a rural convenience store that I rarely go to, but is the closest business to my house. I've been meaning to take some pics of these cars for years, but just never had the time to stop there.

I don't know if anyone that lives close by would mind me going there, but the incessant barking of dogs while I was there tends to make one not want to linger for too long. I quickly shot what I could.

Wow...not only is it the day after Christmas is over, but it's a Monday, too.

How depressing...

I was peacefully strolling through the temples of Lhasa to admire the sunrise when I spotted this monk having breakfast and discreetly took this photo, offering him croissants in exchange. A precious moment.

Haven't had time to shoot lately, so this is from back in December.

TGIF!!!!

Sculpture by Paul Cabet, personifying France following the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71.

Hope you all have a great 4th of July weekend!

I shot this beautiful image to showcase the vibrant flower, Aquilegia flavescens. It features a close-up of the flower with a soft, blurred background that highlights its delicate details. The flower exhibits a mix of yellow and pink hues, adding to its visual appeal. I used a soft filter on my 50mm 1.4 lens. The art of soft photography will not appeal to everyone, in the most case it is harder to take a soft photo than a pin sharp image. I take more for what I feel than for what I see. ☺️

MTB Rennen der Junioren durch den Fichtenwald ....

Chapel of the Holy Shroud in Turin.

Due to the high heat and humidity, I haven't been out walking the trails in a while. Also, due to the bugs...yeah, mainly the bugs...(:o

So soothe out, already... :)

Not sure what variety of Sumac our spindly little tree is, but it adds a little splash of color in the yard.
