There 's nothing like cool temperatures and fresh air to raise the spirits. during my forays to the Alabama Hills the temperature can get up into the 100's and when they do, this is where I seek refuge. At around 9000 ft in elevation the difference in temperature is about 15 degrees and there nothing better the a fine mist that floats away from the falls right onto your weary soul.

Tantallon Castle is a semi-ruined mid-14th-century fortress, located 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) east of North Berwick, in East Lothian, Scotland. It sits atop a promontory opposite the Bass Rock, looking out onto the Firth of Forth. The last medieval curtain wall castle to be constructed in Scotland, Tantallon comprises a single wall blocking off the headland, with the other three sides naturally protected by sea cliffs.
Tantallon was built in the mid 14th century by William Douglas, 1st Earl of Douglas.

Great Crested Grebe - Podiceps Cristatus
The great crested grebe has an elaborate mating display. Like all grebes, it nests on the water's edge, since its legs are set relatively far back and it is thus unable to walk very well. Usually two eggs are laid, and the fluffy, striped young grebes are often carried on the adult's back. In a clutch of two or more hatchlings, male and female grebes will each identify their 'favourites', which they alone will care for and teach
Unusually, young grebes are capable of swimming and diving almost at hatching. The adults teach these skills to their young by carrying them on their back and diving, leaving the chicks to float on the surface; they then re-emerge a few feet away so that the chicks may swim back onto them.
The great crested grebe feeds mainly on fish, but also small crustaceans, insects small frogs and newts.
This species was hunted almost to extinction in the United Kingdom in the 19th century for its head plumes, which were used to decorate hats and ladies' undergarments. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds was set up to help protect this species, which is again a common sight.
The great crested grebe and its behaviour was the subject of one of the landmark publications in avian ethology: Julian Huxley's 1914 paper on The Courtship‐habits of the Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus).

Onto the next bridge... this one crosses Rock Run Creek and is located just east of Mecca, Indiana. This one was hard to photograph due to the amount of overgrowth surrounding the bridge.
Built: 1908
Built by: J. A. Britton
Total Length: 72 ft.
Rockville, Indiana (Parke County)
The first engagement occurred during the night of the 29–30 May 1982 when the 3rd Assault Section of 602 Commando Company, led by Captain Andrés Ferrero, ran into Air Troop from D Squadron, 22nd SAS, on the slopes of Mount Kent, sustaining one casualty (First-Sergeant Raimundo Viltes), abandoning much of its equipment to the anger of Major Aldo Rico, their Commanding Officer. The SAS sustained two wounded during the contact.
SAS patrols from Air and Boat Troop squadrons and Major Delves' tactical headquarters (THQ) fought a number of actions with the Argentine Special Forces before the Argentines were forced to withdraw. The SAS's Air Troop patrol was at first driven but managed to hold onto the summit of Mount Kent until Royal Marine reinforcements arrived.

Yes. Another fidget spinner. And another whirlgig? Well, not quite. It's a rotating spintop-like thingy that isn't a real spintop which I've placed onto a rotating fidget spinner. So what is this spintop that isn't a spintop? It's a transparent part of my moon globe which I don't use on the moon globe, because I use the moon globe as a decorative lamp hanging from the ceiling. That's where a moon belongs, doesn't it? When I disassembled the moon globe to turn it into a lamp I noticed that the small piece at the bottom (and does an orb have a bottom?) that connects the globe with its stand and makes the globe spin around its axis actually makes a perfect spintop. I've always wanted to use this thingy – how about "moonspin"? – for an MM theme. But how should I make the motion visible with an item that is transparent and runs so smoothly that you can hardly see any motion? I used my makeshift colour filters for some colourful accents and then I put the moonspin onto the non-rotating centre part of the rainbow coloured fidget spinner (and the fidget spinner also added some extra mortion blur). I got the best result when I waited until the moonspin got slower and began to wobble – just before it stopped to rotate.
This was actually only a test shot, but I didn't have much time to do more this weekend (or Monday), so I decided to stick to it, because while it's not exactly an original idea for the theme, I like the outcome. What I also like is how well the IBIS of my camera works, because this, again, is a handheld image. I didn't use an ND filter, because I've taken the capture last evening when it was already dark outside. Since it was only a testshot I also didn't bother to place the fidget spinner and the moonspin on / against a "proper" background, but just grabbed the black velvet adhesive foil I'd bought recently to repair the palm rest of my keyboard, propped it against a vase and put the spinning thingies in front of it. Which is the reason this moonspin rotates in Fuzziverse, because the velvet foil, while nice to the touch (as it should be), is fuzzy. Pleasantly fuzzy and soft for my hands, fuzziverse fuzzy in a macro image. Processed, as usual, in DXO PhotoLab 4, then I went into Luminar AI to enhance the details and saturation, and finally into Analog Efex – and the white vignette actually is an accident, but I think it added more depth to the image than a totally black background would have. I also like how the vignette highlighted some of the velvety fluff which added a nice starry look :)
The "moonspin" is 4,5 cm / 1,77 inches in diameter, so I had to crop the image quite considerably (and I really didn't like to do that this time, because I think the image looks nicer with more negative space, but it's "To be in MMs or not to be in MMs", isn't it?), so the width here is exactly 3 inches.
Happy Macro Monday, Everyone, and have a nice and safe week ahead!

Mistaya Canyon in Banff National Park is a scenic gem on the Icefields Parkway. Sculpted by the rushing water of the Mistaya River, which originates from Peyto Lake to the southeast, this deep slot canyon features curvy limestone walls and eroded pothole depressions. One of my many stops along the Icefields Parkway that connects Banff to Jasper NP in Alberta, Canada. Many signs about telling people that there are sheer drop-offs and certain death is imminent. I took quite a few from different angles. It's hard to explain how curvy the gorge is below these falls as it deepens substantially below the frame here. I shot this early in the morning with just a few lingering about. I did manage to capture one gentleman getting out fairly far onto the rocks. Stay Tuned.
One of the craziest and yet surreal experiences of my life was taking this tour onto a massive glacier on the Icefields Parkway in Canada. The colors, textures, and surroundings were off the charts. You can't imagine how slippery it is to even take one step.

My faith is my Rock and my Shield.
As we approach Easter weekend, this is my prayer:
Psalm 33:20
"We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, as we put our hope in you."
May you all have a blessed Easter and a great weekend.
Thank you for your kind favs and comments.
Autumn leaves of a young Paederia scandens climbing up onto the root of a Ginkgo tree. The ground was filled by the bright yellow leaves fallen from the Ginkgo. Hope 2021 will be the brightest year for all of you.
Paederia scandens (Skunk vine, ’Hekuso-kazura’ in Japanese) is a deciduous climbing plant native to Japan and eastern Asia. The name comes from its bad smell from a cut, but yet the flowers and the autumn leaves are so lovely.
Zoomed onto to peak of Mt Fuji while keeping the leaves in the frame . Wanted to have the barren snow peak and green leaves together in the same frame like spring in winter !

Onto the canvas once more, my eyes dance with her Autumn rhythm.
With each turn, her leaves flow slowly like hair in a gentle breeze.
Around and around we go, like two lovers that just won't let go.
Alas, it came to an end, but my memories dance along with my playful grin.
Getting back to some Autumn color. This shot was taken on the trail to Hemlock Falls in northern Georgia. Wishing everyone a wonderful day ahead. Thanks for the favs and kind words. They are much appreciated!

The day I slipped a macro lens onto the body of my camera, I became addicted to studying flowers. The curl of a flower petal, the veins on a leaf and the fragile beauty of the thin filaments holding the pollen filled anthers made my heart beat more quickly. The beauty in the world is astounding. Or as Ansel Adams said, "I believe the world is incomprehensibly beautiful - an endless prospect of magic and wonder."
The precise location of this bird was posted back in December. Would he still be there?
He was.
A few curious folks stopped to watch the spectacular bird drop to the ground and then pop back onto a perch.

While visiting Newark Park, Gloucestershire, UK this Peacock jumped up onto a stone pillar and gave me ample opportunity to enjoy its extravagant beauty......(and to use my Tamron telephoto lens).....never seen one this close before.....such a striking and gloriously colourful bird.....

“May the light of the morning sun, shine upon you. May the deepest and sweetest love always find you.” - Dr. Debasish Mridha (American physician, philosopher, poet-seer, and author).
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 25th of February is “monochromatic bubble bokeh”. The day the theme was announced, it was a beautiful sunny morning, and I had the French doors open onto my garden. All I had to do to meet the theme for this week was to take a few steps out onto my back terrace and there was the perfect shot: some new growth on one of the James Stirling Pittosporums bathed in the morning light. The gentle light was perfect to make lots of bubble bokeh in my background as it filtered through the leaves of the trees. The shot was very green in colour, so I originally made the monochrome green, but found the sepia gave it a warmer feel. I hope you like my choice of the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.

A missionary called Dubhán, arrived here at Hook Head in the 5th century. He was horrified to see so many shipwrecks that had been driven onto the rocks and smashed to pieces and the remains of the unfortunate sailors strewn along the cliffs. He immediatley set up a beacon to warn of the dangers. This headland is called after him as it is known in Irish as St. Dubhán`s Head. However there is a simiar word for Dubhán which is Duan and means a fish hook and thats how it got the English name Hook Head which fits the shape of the place almost perfectly.
This lighthouse has been operating here for 820 years which makes it the 2nd oldest in the World. Its a bit confusing because anyone looking at it can see that the bottom section is made from concrete and is quite modern and I would take them to task for not explaining it fully. The answer is that the existing original lighthouse with its 13ft thick walls is still there having been enclosed within the newer concrete walls. It is open to the public and is truly amazing with its stone smoke stained walls, rib vaulted ceilings and rooms where Norman monks lit braziers to warn sailing ships to beware of the dangers of the heavy seas, cliffs and the huge rocks which Ive shown in my previous photo.
The original tower was build by William Marshall, the Earl of Pembroke who was a Norman Knight. French monks settled in the old monastry here and operated the tower which has been operating ever since.
I think of all the places here in Ireland this for me is the best. Its a historian and hikers dream and the natural history of the place is astonishing.The Saltee islands are situated a few miles off the coast and has one of the largest Gannet colonies in the British Isles. Wexford and and the adjoining county of Waterford are wonderful historic places having been founded by the Vikings who settled here in the 8th century.
So if you are this way ever, do come and visit the Hook Peninsula as I know you will love it.
Hope you like the photo. Best wishes.

Charles Bridge in darkness before the sun rose. The lamps reflecting their light onto the cobbles. The distant buildings silhouetted against the dark sky.
Don't be fooled by the lack of people. Had I turned the camera in the opposite direction, there were an awful lot of togs.
Charles Bridge is one of a number of bridges in Prague, which spans the river Vitara.
Some beautiful sculptures adorn the sides of the bridge.
It was a long day of hiking and my last view that day was from the Gamrig rock onto the Bastei rock formation and the Elbe river. I was going for a sunset image but the sun was hiding behind clouds. Nevertheless I got a somewhat decent shot. What do you think?

A very misty low cloud morning at the top of Te Mata Peak this morning. The sun couldn't even break through the mist. Hawke's Bay, New Zealand
The rain had just cleared as I turned onto a remote country road deep in the Texas Pineywoods. water flowed through the narrow ditches and thunder continued to sound, it's intensity diminishing with each boom as the storm crept east.
My truck rolled slowly along the road, which was lined with restored prairie and seasonal wetlands. I lowered all of my windows to take in that wonderful post-rain aroma that lingers in the air after the storm has moved on.
Immediately I was struck by a chorus of grassland and shrubland birds that seemed to delight in the cool air. Particularly vocal were the Painted Buntings (Passerina ciris). I parked along the edge of the road and cut my engine, and after sometime I had several males approach very closely.
Painted Buntings are considered by many to be one of, if not the most beautiful bird in the U.S. It's hard to argue that logic when observing an adult male. Despite their gaudiness, they often remain hidden, lurking in the dense vegetation of the brushy habitats they inhabit. I was lucky to capture this male singing through the grasses mere feet from me as I sat down in the road with my back against the wheel of my truck.
. . . They had stepped out of the party and onto the bridge . . .
Kulaan D. Dragon nodded, and turned to her. He walked, slowly, towards her as he looked to the side again. "I lied before. I suppose it's part of my education that I..." he trailed off and stopped, shaking his head and settled his eyes on the girl. "You're beautiful, every detail I notice. The hair, the gown, the butterflies, every touch of it, and every bit of you." he smiled, and took a step or two more towards her. "Even the crown. It's all so.... you." he continued, softly, almost with a touch of melancholy. "And it's more beautiful than a thousand Hogwarts." he finished.
Rya Voinea ... the poor girl was biting the inside of her cheek as he spoke. because she didn't know how to take it. Forget about the cool air outside .. she was hot enough that she couldn't even feel that. She pulled in her lower lip then and looked off to the side a moment before she replied softly.. "Tis onleh t'e costume. I will go back tae being plain meh a'ter today."

I wandered onto the balcony this morning and spotted this rather large 'shroom on the top of my compost heap. It is about 9 inches across. Not being able to get near the compost at the moment, the backyard is still a muddy mess from when the sewer works were done, I decided to try for a shot with the birding lens.
