... to self: the sun always returns.

For a few weeks in the dead of winter, the sun is too feeble to climb the hill behind the house; but it always comes back with renewed strength.
On the left is a reproduction of Amaldus Nielsen's painting "Ny Hellesund" from 1899. Nielsen enjoyed great success here in Norway during his own lifetime (1838-1932).

The leaves were swept off the ash tree across the road overnight.

This was my entry to our group's 'Music' challenge.
This was created by making a black cardboard lens cover with the shape of a note cut out in the centre and then went outside to take take a photo of my new led christmas lights I have across the back of the house......they are super bright and I really loved the colours !!
An Individual in California wrote and asked if I could rework this shot of a Blue Hydrangea Bloom into a panorama format. I was glad to so and she promptly purchased a very large size of this on my web site to hang on a wall behind her sofa. Better on Black. Thanks for the look and have a great weekend.

A little background on this. I didn't wake up one morning and decide to do a video with the song Tequila. It just evolved from taking some short videos (just a minute or so in each outfit) with no music or theme in mind. It's easy to do when I'm taking pictures, I just hit the record button and then do something. I'm glad I had a scarf with me that I was able to use as a prop. I was just swaying to whatever tune was playing on the radio. I later try to find a song that that I can match the videos to. I had a couple songs in mind, but never got past the first one. The editing is like a Rubik's Cube, trying to find the right combination of clips to match the music.
I hope I've given you something better to associate with this song besides the Pee-wee Herman dance. Now I think I'll have a shot of Don Julio.
Don't leave your camera bag in shot when using a fisheye lens! Another from our adventures in the flooded Derbyshire Lime Kiln.
NOTE:
The standard disclaimer still applies: That's a wooden decoy -- anchored
to the bottom of the lake -- that the egret is standing on.

Just had the sensor cleaned on the Nikon D40. Lovely to see sky shots with no blemishes!
The Blue Note Elephant is a rare species that is unparalleled as the smallest elephant subspecies: Musically gifted, they are famous for their blues-like trumpeting! I also like to celebrate this iconic label ! Have fun!
For macro Monday. The theme is curves. I hope this qualifies. Its an alternate version to a similar shot, this time in color with a shade white balance added in post. Have a good day everyone. Thanks for the views, comments, and faves.

The initial plunge strikes a ledge which directs the flow outward from the cliff resulting in a spectacularly messy waterfall (Note 1). Because of its separation from the cliff, cross winds have a big impact. I also did video, which shows that the heavy wind-driven mist (Note 2) is actually moving upward. Total height of falls is 384 meters (1260 feet).
