Have you ever visited Sandbanks Provincial Park, nestled on the west coast of Prince Edward County? To be completely honest, and I don't want to exaggerate, but every person I have ever talked to in my life about provincial parks love this place.
There is our opportunity for an exceptional exploration and full enjoyment of the beauty of this park at this time of a year, especially, when all the summer crowds were gone. This image is taken on the stunning Woodlands Trail that leads across old farm pastures to hardwood lots. A walk over the leaf carpeted trail is breathtaking, and you can enjoy hearing the rustle of the leaves while walking. Awesome!
The fall colors amaze everyone, so enjoy them until you can, because the remanence of Hurricane Patricia will bring all the foliage down today!

Windows of Opportunity is a macro photograph of a Ficus leaf. This version blended the black and white version with the original, which was photographed on a light box.. A filter was added at 15 percent opacity to warm the leaf up a little bit. I will be off for two weeks starting tomorrow! Have a creative fortnight!
I came upon a serendipity moment the other morning as I noticed a perfect little window in the trees that let in the light & gave me a peak at the world beyond. This little window was created by Mother Nature and luckily I had my camera handy so that I could capture the magic while it lasted. I call this a window of opportunity.
If opportunity doesn't knock, get a door. - Milton Berle

Preparation met opportunity today. I had cut out these leaves hoping for a beautiful sky, and lucky for me, it all came together. Today is all about carving pumpkins and trick-or-treating. Be well and be safe.
PS - dried leaves don't cut as well as soft, pliable leaves.
This is inside my husband Masonic Lodge. We took our Mexican friend there in September for a visit as he is also a Mason. I love Mid Century Mod and the light was so nice!

TURN A DIFFICULTY INTO A NEW OPPORTUNITY
LUCKY OPPORTUNITY to photograph one of these Slim and Savage predators, active by day and night, it relentlessly tracks down its prey by scent. It often kills prey more than twice its size, biting deeply into the neck.
Captured at Elmley Nature Reserve in Kent.

THANK YOU for your visit and friendship. Please leave a comment, and I will try to do the same for your latest posting.

This is a traditional Yorkshire fishing vessel called a "Coble" that once fished out of Scarborough..It now lies in a semi-derelict state at South Ferriby on the banks of the River Humber,
It just struck me that I have photographed this door a couple of times, been by it hundreds of times, seen the changes around the face of the door, but never ever peek beyond the door. I think I am Inspired to do so next time I am there.
Cancellations due to COVID19 allowed the opportunity to reserve and stay on short notice at lodges within several National Parks. These lodges (i.e., including Yosemite and Crater Lake) are generally impossible to reserve otherwise. The parks were fairly empty. My wife were walking back with dinner to our room when I noticed this magnificent sight. The falls were the first sight as we walked in and out of our room. The view was always impressive. However, the diminishing light minutes before sunset added a touch of mystery to this natural wonder.
BTW, I wanted to take the opportunity to inform everyone that Flickr is no longer sending notifications to Yahoo mail accounts. I only receive notices regarding promotions by Flickr. As a result, it is impossible to track and reciprocate all Faves. Sorry about that and stay healthy!

One piece of wood, so many photo ops. Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, just north of Half Moon bay, California.
From my Wild and Weathered Wood, collection.
This Barn Owl was perched on the post behind the tree making it difficult to get a good angle for a shot, when a brief gust of wind moved the branches allowing me to capture this photo, hence the title.
This is a magnificent organ. I have attended concerts and graduation ceremonies here but his was a rare opportunity before set up to get an image with no one else around.
The sparrowhawk is surely one of the UK's most striking raptors.
Unfortunately this male's own strike was far from successful and his chosen prey had long since fled when I took this shot.

Many thanks to all those who take the time to comment on my photos. It is truly appreciated.
When I was sent to Battle Creek to work nights for a couple days a few years ago when they were cutting over CP Baron, I wanted to visit the small farm town of Bellevue about 10 miles east of the yard. The perfect opportunity presented itself in the form of a pair of barns on A451. After snaking my way through the god-awful twisting roads in that area, it wasn't long before the pair came out of the dark and passed the classic mill in the heart of town that seems to be the victim of an eccentric painter.
Opportunities are rare sometimes. Bummer when you miss them but you have to move on. Have a wonderful Friday and a terrific weekend.
Herons don't usually oblige me with photo opportunities, but this year seems different.
This one however wasn't made popular by the moorhen. Presumably she had chicks nearby and didn't appreciate the heron dropping in.

Last light on the Citadel, Halloween eve.
Loveland Pass, Clear Creek Co. Colorado
Took an opportunity to go shoot sunset atop the Continental Divide a few weeks ago. After getting out of work early that day, I had an image in mind of Citadel Peak at sunset. When I arrived, there wasn't much happening in terms of cloud coverage. It was a cold evening, but the sun was shining and making things a little more bearable. I hiked up the east side of the pass a bit to set up for this shot. I wanted to capture the last bit of light hitting the peak before sunset. As the sun crept closer to the horizon, these beautiful clouds moved in and completed my composition perfectly. It got better and better and I was able to capture exactly what I had in mind when I set out for this shoot. We're off to a great start for winter in the high country. Hoping it continues and brings proper snowpack and good skiing the rest of the winter.

Thank you for your visit, faves, invites and kind comments!
I thought I saw a person working on a farm in the footpath, but in fact it was someone waiting a photo opportunity.😆
農作業中の人がいる、と思ってシャッターを切ったのですが、その人は写真撮影中の人でした😆
A great opportunity to shoot moon when its full and traveling between the overcast. A bit difficult to set the exposure as the light changes every other second. Too much and you will loose details and too little then you won't get the clouds. Also since the moon is constantly on the move, you cannot do bracketing and later merge as you will get a slight motion and won't get a perfect merge. And I hate photoshopping anything that ain't there on the photograph. So the best option is to take multiple shots and hope one does come out with all details you would want in the shot!
Thanks for your favorites and comments, I highly appreciate them!

Liverpool's iconic Liver Building shrouded in sea fog wich gave brief moments where the two towers became visible for an image to be taken. The Image was taken from Seacombe on the other side of the River Mersey on the Wirral.
Some doors are meant to be closed , and when you try to reopen them , remember why they were closed in the first place .
There is a very tiny sediment pond (about the size of a bathtub) at Rockburn. It had an amazing array of odes on it. This Twelve-spotted Skimmer was happy to pose.
Now no one can say that Christmas is not here, lighting the homes of so many families, feeling the magic of the Birth of Jesus one more year among us, in a very complicated year, a sad year, but in which we have learned the value of small things, the value of friendship, solidarity and family.
In just a week we will be on Christmas Day, and I take this opportunity to wish you all a happy previous days, illusion, peace, hope and love.

Llega la Navidad a la ciudad... Madrid, España
Ahora ya nadie puede decir que la Navidad no está aquí, iluminando los hogares de tantas familias, sintiendo la magia del Nacimiento de Jesús un año más entre nosotros, en un año muy complicado, un año triste, pero en el que hemos aprendido el valor de las pequeñas cosas, el valor de la amistad, la solidaridad y la familia.
En tan solo una semana estaremos en el día de Navidad, y aprovecho para desearos a todos felices días previos, ilusión, paz, esperanza y amor.
