Fanad Head Peninsula, County Donegal, Ireland
During this stunning sunrise at Fanad Lighthouse, I witnessed a few wonderful things at once. Mainly was the sky igniting with colour in front of my eyes 😍 welcoming me to the new day ahead. However, the most fascinating part was watching this unsuspecting photographer in my scene buzzing with excitement capturing his own dream sunrise photo. I’m sure he also planned well in advance, woken in the very early hours with little sleep then travelled many miles in the dark to wait here in hope of a vibrant sunrise. I’m delighted that everyone there that morning got their well-earned photographs. It’s not always how pretty the scene in front of us looks…. It’s about how we all react to it that fascinates me most.
Fanad Head Lighthouse was conceived as essential to seafarers following a shipwreck which happened over 200 years ago. In December 1811 the frigate ‘Saldanha’ sought shelter from a storm. Sailing towards Fanad as she frantically fought the raging wind and waves. Sadly, the ship was wrecked off the northern coast with all 250+ men on board.
Shortly afterwards Fanad Head Lighthouse was built to help guide ships and sailors safely on their journeys. Still in operation to this day, standing on a rocky outcrop on north Donegal's Wild Atlantic Way, blinking its guiding light out to sea to aid ships past its inviting yet deceiving rocky waters 🌊

DEAR FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES; THANK YOU FOR VIEWING, FAVING AND COMMENTING MY DIGITAL OBSERVATIONS.
Nope. I don't know what kind of Long Jumper this is. Anyone out there in Flickrland? Do get back to me.
Traipsing about in the shore bushes and mangroves of the Suriname River to see what I could see, I came upon this tiny critter. So small I actually needed my magnifying glass to see its spots...
It's alert on Water Thistle, a Mimosa sort called Neptunia plena. It was called scientifcally by great Carolus Linneus in 1753: Mimosa plena; but renamed to Neptunia by the Jesuit missionary to China who was also a foremost botanist, João de Loureiro (1717-1791) in 1790. He based his observations on a Chinese exemplar, but the plant is pantropical. I've seen Neptunias in Indonesia and Malaysia, too.
Not a freckling person myself but the Sun was so sharp I might have become one if I'd stayed out any longer.
PS 2017.x.18: A friend Jan-Wouter Zwart of Groningen identified our Jumper as this Crayola Katydid. I'm very grateful.

An image captured of a raven in one of the Yosemite Village parking areas. The view is looking towards the northeast. I decided to just observe the raven as it moved about, making sounds to others in the area. From time to time I would capture an image that caught my attention. This one stuck out because it had kind of like a profile of the raven’s head as it stood on top of a wooden fence post.
The unreal lots of fun green lights in the sky are reflections of the lantern on the wall caused by a deficiency in the iPhone's lens design.

I think this was my best shot of 2020. The pandemic was in its early days. I felt like that jackrabbit. I was on high alert. In May I'd exited from my business of 25 years (no work) and moved into a new job for the summer. I was very... lucky. I was also very alert.
My family and I took walks in fields after dinner. There were a ton of rabbits. There were no planes. No cars. The city was weirdly quiet. I felt compelled to make keen observations and good judgments, just like the rabbits in Watership Down.
"The full moon covered the high solitude with its light. We are not conscious of daylight as that which displaces darkness. Moonlight...is inconstant. It transforms.”
