There are several pedestrian bridges in Gatineau's Lac Leamy Park which allow access to sections of the park that would be otherwise blocked. From my observations, these small bridges are used regularly by all sorts of people walking, skiing, cycling and commuting to work. They're a great public asset. My painting is based on a photo that I took at the beginning of winter. From time to time, I walk to this location from my home for exercise and inspiration.
Il y a plusieurs ponts piétonniers dans le parc du lac Leamy à Gatineau qui permettent d'accéder à des sections du parc qui seraient autrement bloquées. D'après mes observations, ces petits ponts sont utilisés régulièrement par toutes sortes de personnes marchant, skiant, faisant du vélo et se rendant au travail. Ils sont un grand bien public. Ma peinture est basée sur une photo que j'ai prise au début de l'hiver. De temps en temps, je me rends à pied à cet endroit de chez moi pour faire de l'exercice et m'inspirer.

Otherwise known as a clash of styles. This little corner of St Ives, where the 18th century pier can just be seen on the right, probably features in more pictures of this lovely town than any other place. I absolutely love the pink-painted Georgian building with its classical design, but equally hate the more modern building just behind it on the left. I imagine this pre-dates the 1947 Town & Country Planning Act, as I can't see how it could possibly have been given planning permission.
Just a few trees poke their tops out of an otherwise completely mist covered landscape. On the Wentloog Levels between Cardiff and Newport.

Take the same photo on this location for many years, but it always difficult to avoid the crowd during the holiday season. Finally I decided to make a really early trip (3AM) to the city with the ongoing rain. I was able to catch the perfect moment with the surprise reflection on the ground. Only regret is the Christmas Tree in between the neon sign was not lit due to the early hour of the monring , otherwise it will be a perfect holiday image.

Looking out from Waterside Bridge (otherwise known as Babylon Bridge), towards the Cathedral Marina on the River Great Ouse. In Ely, Cambridgeshire.
The Great Ouse is the largest and longest of several British rivers called 'Ouse'. From Syresham in South Northamptonshire, the Great Ouse flows into East Anglia before entering the Wash and the North Sea. With a course of 143 miles (230 km), mostly flowing north and east, it is the fourth-longest river in the United Kingdom.
The Great Ouse has been historically important for commercial navigation, and for draining the low-lying region through which it flows; its best-known tributary is probably the Cam, which runs through Cambridge. Its lower course passes through drained wetlands and fens and has been extensively modified, or channelised, to relieve flooding and provide a better route for barge traffic. Though the un-modified river probably changed course regularly after floods, it now enters the Wash after passing through the port of King's Lynn, south of its earliest-recorded route to the sea.

I recently returned from Jackson Hole, WY where I conducted my 4 day photography workshop along with 3 nights of my Milky Way night sky photography workshop..
An hour and a half before the fireworks began, photographer and workshop instructor Matt Suess met up with me at the Elk Refuge overlook deck just north of Jackson where we photographed the fireworks and at a later time after the fireworks were over I photographed the Milky Way over Snow King Mountain on the south side of town.
Here's my take of that night.

Otherwise used as an unofficial BMX track, this huge mound of earth at Hemington proved to be a very useful vantage point in a predominantly flat landscape. I waited patiently for the drifting mist to reveal the sun’s orb, the detail of which I held in place with the use of a combination of neutral density graduated filters.
Otherwise known as geranium.
Taken in my garden with my iPhone 6s and heavily cropped in Apple's Photos.
The flickr autotagger is hedging its bets and has tagged it as an animal and a flower!
It's another flower from me today - the sunshine has really brought my garden on these last two weeks. I love taking this kind of close-up photo which reveals details that we might not otherwise notice.

This was my first, but hopefully not last, visit to Bedruthan Steps on the North Cornish coast. I arrived at sunrise with the tide just receding, to mysteriously find a solitary set of footprints in the otherwise pristine sand. This place certainly has a magical feel to it, you could loose yourself for hours here and I would definitely put it on your list if you've never visited.
The added bonus is that you might also be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the Lesser spotted macaroni Pedlar, also know as Brian!
Just make sure he brings along some of Mrs P's flapjack, it's to die for!
I always think this track is a little mysterious and just love it.

Here's a composite of the Northern Window and the Milky Way.
During my March 4-11, 2014 photo shoot in Moab, Utah (USA) and other nearby national and state parks, I wanted to expand my Milky Way night sky photography to include this part of the southwest. So on different nights, I photographed the Milky Way over numerous arches and monuments and because I did, the night sky went into the morning blue hour to sunrise with the result that I did not get a lot of sleep during the entire trip because even during the day I was constantly on the move.
A couple had arrived at "The Windows" in Arches National Park shortly after I did for night sky work, so we turned into a small team and went to different sites for Milky Way shots.
In this scene, I let them walk up to the northern window of "The Windows" and I signaled them to hold in place for my shot as they looked at the Milky Way rising in the eastern sky. This is one example of where you do not want to light paint an arch or monument ... it would have had a totally different and probably not as interesting effect if I had.
In 2015, I will be conducting multiple night sky / Milky Way workshops in Arches National Park in Moab, Utah. Should you be there at the end of March, please consider joining me for one or more nights as we photograph numerous sites throughout the park and other places.
Do you shoot the Milky Way but need a little help in getting the Milky Way to jump out of your photos ? If so, take a look at my ebook A Photographer's Milky Way Processing Guide - A Photoshop HowTo

Rico, whom I walk twice a week for a nearby family, is a very nice dog who gets enthusiastic about his outings. One problem with my 40mm lens is that I get glare from the flash when getting taking closeups. Otherwise, it's great.
Shaun the blind koala from the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is still at Rockhampton. He went blind, or nearly so from a genetic condition but still lives out his life as comfortably as possible and every effort is made to keep him as comfortable, happy and otherwise as well as possible.
This is what I saw today.
There was a harem. There were only female fairy wrens. Heaps of them hopping around. And no boys... even just one.
Very strange day.
...... according to my friend gagasue , "in the fall the males molt into more drab female plumage....". Not sure about that but it seems only the possible reason. Otherwise it's so strange that 100 girls and no men. If in a harem, at least there is one man.

(Red-bellied Grackle / Cacique candela)
The Red-bellied Grackle is a distinctive rare blackbird of cloud forest in the Colombian Andes. It is large, long-tailed, and heavy-billed with a bright red belly and otherwise glossy black plumage. Red-bellied Grackles moves through the forest in groups, giving a variety of calls. While it has been recorded from all three ranges of the Andes in Colombia, contemporary localities are few.

This street art is found in a little alleyway off Charles Street in Launceston. It's nice to see real local public artists given a chance to brighten an otherwise drab wall.
Located about 50m from "That Tree" at Wanaka, is this twisted and tormented set of trees. As the lake water level was down, it exposed the twisted roots and with the weather on the day, it just gave me the feeling of how nature can sometimes be brutal in such an otherwise beautiful location.
This inky cap is edible, but only if you don't consume any alcohol for 24 hours before and after eating them. Also called the alcohol inky and tippler's bane, frightening symptoms of nausea and malaise arise within minutes after ingesting these unique mushrooms if you've been drinking or soon will be. Otherwise they're quite tasty!
Flammagenitus (from the Latin flamma (fire). A composite of four images. The cloud is leaning a little towards the camera and very slightly left. Otherwise it's going straight up in calm conditions and raining as it goes. The bonus is a rainbow at sunset.
The first snowfall of the year only presented a few inches, though it's still quite wonderful how it obscures an otherwise cluttered world. This was the last shot for the evening at the Eno River State Park just as the clouds parted enough for the Sun to put a punctuation on the day. One thing for sure... ol' Sol knows how to make an exit.
One of my contacts, Vicki Lund, just posted an image of similar values, though hers is from the state of Maine where the winter is colder, the snow is deeper, and, apparently, the women are hardier... take a look here: www.flickr.com/photos/vickilundphotography/12684467373/

Saw a beetle I didn't recognise on a flower, and as soon as I approached, he did a geronimo! I parted the grass to see if I could find him again, and immediately discovered the beetle's identity! A screech beetle, and my word! What a noise!
He went quiet once I picked him up, otherwise I'd have tried recording it!

Several Danaus plexippus (Monarch butterfly) clustering for overwintering amongst the withering leaves of an oak at Ernle Clark Reserve, Christchurch, New Zealand.
Smaller clusters here (a few hundred spread around this tree), but it is a lovely park and one of my favourite old haunts. While there is something to be said for the larger, denser clusters (which I've been photographing elsewhere), there is something I love about them spread out in smaller groups in the oak leaves and basking - especially when sunny (if not exactly warm) when a few will leave and rejoin, causing the perched ones to flap their wings in sympathy (yes, probably protest). I can watch them for hours.
I love the way the sun passes through those backlit wings like stained glass windows. While the background is contrastier than I like, it sort of frames the subject here.
This may be the first time I have shared a butterfly in flight as I don't like how awkward/ungainly they seem when frozen in time mid-flap. But I really like what it is doing here with wings outstretched.
Cropped, but otherwise unprocessed camera jpeg.
One of the coolest bugs I know of and would like to shoot is the giraffe weevil, Trachelophorus giraffa. A fantastic animal with red elytra and otherwise black body and a almost bizarrely long neck. Since it's endemic to Madagascar and I've never been to Madagascar it remains just a dream species.
On a walk along a forest road near my mother-in-law's place, I found several specimens of what we can call the poor man's giraffe weevil - the hazel-leaf roller weevil (Apoderus coryli). Just look at it - apart from the extremely long neck, it really looks the part.
These guys have a cool behaviour of their own. The female rolls up a hazel leaf and then lay her eggs inside them. I actually noticed some rolled up leaves on my walk, but didn't know what they were and unfortunately didn't bother with taking a photo of one.

Camped near a colony of these critters... and all of them kept a close watch on me.
While there are many wild iguanas in Southern and Central America, green iguanas are the most common in the United States. They can reach up to six feet long from head to tail and weigh about eight to seventeen pounds. Although their name states otherwise, iguanas can differ in color from dark gray or pale brown to bright orange or dull green. Along with comb-like spines that run across these reptiles' backs, they are covered in scales and have a membrane that hangs underneath their jaws.
Green iguanas possess a row of spines along their backs and along their tails, which helps to protect them from predators. Their whip-like tails can be used to deliver painful strikes and like many other lizards, when grabbed by the tail, the iguana can allow it to break, so it can escape and eventually regenerate a new one. In addition, iguanas have a well-developed dewlap, which helps regulate their body temperature. This dewlap is used in courtships and territorial displays.
The original small populations in the Florida Keys were stowaways on ships carrying fruit from South America. Over the years, other iguanas were introduced into the wild, mostly originating through the pet trade. Some escaped and some were intentionally released by their owners; these iguanas survived and then thrived in their new habitat.
They commonly hide in the attics of houses and on beaches. They often destroy gardens and landscaping. Additionally on Marco Island, green iguanas have been observed using the burrows of the Florida burrowing owl, a species of special concern, all of which can make them more of a serious threat to Florida's ecosystem than originally believed.
