Spotted this big bull elk sitting in the shade on our last drive through the park. Watched him for quite awhile but he never stood up.
As always, thanks so much for stopping by.

Many thanks to Andy Stables for taking me to this fabulous location with a great view to Neist Point in the distance, away from the maddening crowds. The sunlight is glinting off the numerous cars parked at the end of the road.

This is another image from the same morning photoshoot. A slightly different time, slightly different palette.
Night At Convict Lake. We got to Convict Lake about 5:30 AM well before the sunrise. We did some star photography with the lake and mountain softly illuminated with moonlight.
The sunrise was disappointing from a photography standpoint so this moonlight shot was my best of the morning. I even captured a meteor.
I tell my students to get to their sunrise location about an hour before the sun comes over the horizon. You never know what you may see in the sky. Several of my very best shots were taken before the sun came up.
Nikon D3s with the Nikon 24-70mm lens at 24mm. Exposure was 30 seconds at f-6.3 with ISO at 4000.

Boxtel is a small town, but its big church shows that it was an important place once. Just outside the town you'll find a park in which lies this castle, Kasteel Stapelen. The entire complex was given a new look in early neo-Gothic style in 1857-1858, to fit the then popular ideas about what a medieval castle should look like. Towers were heightened, the facade of the chapel was renewed and countless battlements were added to places where there never had been any. Since 1915 the castle has been used as a monastery. In the Middle Ages a miracle occured here which is still celebrated each year with a big procession.
The Titus Canyon Road should be on the top of the "to do" list of everyone who visits Death Valley National Park. Sure, Badwater Spring is the lowest spot in North America and much more famous, but I just love the Titus Canyon Road.
The road is one way, east to west, and you have to drive outside of the park on the Beatty road to find the turn-off. In fact, the turn-off is in Nevada but just barely.
At first, the road traverses a slow incline of high desert with very little to see. This is the back of the tilted block that forms the Grapevine mountains.
Slowly, as you near the crest at White Pass, the scenery starts to take on a dramtic flair that hints at the Geologic wonders to come.
Here, the road slowly snakes it way through the high desert on its way to White Pass. To the left is Paleozoic strata with the highly tilted Zabrinski Quartzite capping the hill on the left middle ground. Also on the left is a mid Tertiary black sill intruding Paleozoic limestones and displaying a very pronounced white weld at the contact with the limestones. On the right are dipping mid and late Tertiary sediments and igneous flows.
The road curves all the way to the right where it dips back down at the crest of White Pass. After curving around the shoulder of the Tertiary tilted block in the middle of the photograph, it climbs again on the left Paleozoic shoulder of the Titus anticline as it approaches Red Pass.

Mañana es día de reflejos pues hay una marea muuuy grande.............
As you know, I have a ton of squirrels in my backyard. Over the years they have been conditioned to run away if i'm outside because Jasmine chased them. I'm hoping with time they will lose their fear and I can get closer to them. I hid behind our tree to get this shot. I only fired off one shot before he disappeared.
Happy Furry & Fence Friday!
From a trip along the NE coast of Scotland yesterday; starting with a return to Crovie, the plan was to make it around the coast to Dunnottar Castle near Stonehaven for the sunset. On a day badly affected by rain some of it torrential, I didn't hold much hope of achieving anything at Dunnottar. In fact I very nearly didn't stay long enough as it had been raining persistently for a couple of hours as dusk set in. But as I approached the last couple of miles the rain ceased and was rewarded with some subtle sunset/twilight colour in an otherwise dramatic sky.
Image is a panorama. It ended up being 186 Magapixels. had to resized it down here for Flickr as it would not upload. In the original image you can see clear to the Sheppy Bridge.
Has some great looking clouds in this image that later turned a bright pink. Unfortunately I was making a timelapse of the rising moon and didn't notice in time to photograph the pink clouds fully. but did manage to take a quick shot just as all the pink was fading from the sky.
Classic Lunenburg. It doesn't matter whatever the weather, the colours of this town always pop.
Lunenburg, is a Canadian port town in Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia.
Situated on the province's South Shore, Lunenburg is located on a peninsula at the western side of Mahone Bay. The town is approximately 90 kilometres southwest of the county boundary with the Halifax Regional Municipality.
The historic town was designated a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site in 1995.
This designation ensures protection for much of Lunenburg's unique architecture and civic design, being the best example of planned British colonial settlement in North America.

There is no Palace in Taiwan actually. But we do have several similar architectures in Taipei. These are our National Opera House and Concert Hall and they are built by following example of Chinese palaces.
最近興起拍傳統建築的念頭，可惜台灣沒幾棟，翻出國家音樂廳的夕陽，溫習一下。

Spirit Mill (Dutch: Geestmolen) is a polder mill built in 1565 with an oak octagonal on low foot.
Spirit Mill drained once the 170-hectare Geestmolenpolder at Alkmaar in the Netherlands. A polder is reclaimed land.
Because in the early sixties, the housing estate De Hoef has risen, the mill now has no landscape function anymore. The windmill is now actually in the city of Alkmaar.
During a fierce winter storm in January 2015, all the sails of the windmill blown off. It is expected that the mill will run again in 2016.
This is what we saw during our Cycling holiday in Noord-Holland, the Netherlands, where we have cycled through the beautiful landscape.

under Congress Ave. bridge in Austin, TX
The Mexican Free-Tail Bats, that is. There are 1.5 million bats living under that bridge and they come out every evening after sunset. This is the trip I've been telling you about. I planned this trip for over a month. I check the cycles of the moon to make sure there would be a full moon rising, as the bat fly to the east when they come out. Well, everything was perfect, The moon came up right on time with very few clouds. I had a great lens, my batteries were charged and I was with my friend on a rented boat. The only problem was, unbeknownst to me, the bats have just had there young..So, they don't want to fly too far away and with all the rain we've had, there are plenty of bugs right there under the bridge.Oh well, I made the best of it. I got some great moon shots and skyline images, plus I was with friends and it was only 10 bucks each. I plan to do it again around the end of July or mid August. I just have to check the moon schedules again. I know there will be a full moon the end of July, but what's important is what time the moon comes up
Many thanks to those that take the time to visit and/or comment and fav...it is sincerely appreciated!
This doe and her two almost-yearlings passing through my yard. I had opened the back door and was outside with the camera...
I love how the ears can go in opposite directions...to pick up sounds!
She's still 'mothering' them, at least until May when her new fawn(s) will be born....then they're on their own.
Glad you stopped by flickr friends...hope you're enjoying the week...Pat...xo

Yep, coming along I'd say...therapist told me it will be about a year for my new 'normal'.....I'm being good with my exercises!
In May I'm flying down to Florida to visit a dear friend, met her on flickr Btw...and late in May Richard and I are having a nature-break in the north woods for a week...taking camera of course. I figure by then I'll be more mobile with the wrist...
Always good to look forward to something!
A forecast of color that will arrive shortly to the Northeast. This shot is from last September at a footbridge that crosses the Ammonoosuc River on the grounds of the Mount Washington Hotel, Bretton Woods, NH.
A beautiful female soldier fly (Broad Centurian Chloromyia formosa) that I spotted in my garden. At the time I didn't have a clue on the ID, but then I saw what looks to be exactly the same fly on another contact's stream (Ray: www.flickr.com/photos/fence_s13/27512311690). Happy to be corrected if I am wrong.
It was very breezy that day, so the shot is not as sharp as I would have liked, and it's quite a crop.
