Last week I decided to head up to Mt.Tam around sunset. Upon arriving I was greeted with beautiful fog just coming in and beautiful clouds everywhere.

Taken on a recent holiday, it was strange to find it deserted as the weather was great.

one year ago today, i decided to start a 365 project. i went outside in the wet and cold, put my camera on a car, set the timer, and posed. a remote, 2 tripods (one broke :( ), a 50mm 1.8 lens, a film camera, and a fujifilm instax, here i am. taking a picture a day was so much harder than i thought it would be, but i did it! some days i cheated and posted an old picture, and some days i didn't try at all, but i still had one picture a day for a year.

i really really want to thank anyone who has ever commented/faved/written me a testimonial. they mean so much. i can't believe i've come this far and very much appreciate the support i've gotten.

this may not be my most amazing photo but i'm proud of it.

if you read all that, thank you :)

Not the Carpenters or Earth, Wind & Fire but Great Britain's National Bird, the Robin. This gorgeous Robin wasn't half belting out a tune to rival, or even better, any chart topper at RSPB Old Moor the other day.

The Robin is one of the few birds in the UK that sing all year round. This is due to the importance of holding winter territories. Only for a short period in late summer while they are moulting and inconspicuous do they stop singing. Both sexes sing.

Autumn and spring songs are distinctly different. The autumn song starts after the moult, from late summer onwards. It is more subdued and melancholy in its tone, while the spring song is powerful, confident and upbeat.

The spring song can start as early as mid-December, reaching full force in spring. Its purpose is two-fold: to defend a territory and to attract a mate. Therefore, the spring song is far more powerful in males.

Had to stop for a shot of this sunrise as we were traveling between Glacier and Waterton Lakes. Can't recall for sure, but I'm fairly certain this was somewhere in southern Alberta. Hard to believe it was only a few months ago...time flies by way too fast!!!! Have a great Tuesday, and thanks for all your visits and comments :-)

I was lucky it wasn't that cold outside, i still was freezing my fingers off, but it wasn't like -19c more like -3. So i was able to take this picture, without making my hands frozen!

After a great afternoon of photography, the clouds lined up nicely for a few brief moments as the sun set so that I could get this reflection shot.

Cold but dry weather for a little walk around the Obersee in the Bielefeld area.

The Obersee is an artificial lake outside the city of Bielefeld in East Westphalia. The local folks love the place and especially throughout weekends it is great fun to have a walk around the water.

at evening - quite short before diner - i had to go outside, because i saw this fantastic mood on the lake - clouds and sun and wind and water - you can imagine?

...working on the picture, i always had this old song from chris deburgh in my mind: where peaceful water flows...

Taken outside Guymon Oklahoma on May 31'st, this was the third and last image I have of this lightning storm striking the ground. It was an incredible experience being able to watch such a fierce previously tornadic storm such as this, without being rained or hailed on whatsoever.

…and it was indeed dumping larger than golf ball sized hail when I shot this... but only off in the distance under the cell.

Many thanks to everyone for your visit, comments and faves! Much appreciated! 😊

Have a nice Sunday!

More and more, I try to appreciate the prairie on an intimate scale as well as a grand one. The diversity and beauty of the plants in a prairie is astounding. In this small plot you can see purple coneflower, coreopsis, prairie clover, round-headed bush clover, compass plant, spiderwort, and prairie dropseed grass. And that's just the plants I can identify. I don't know how the original Midwest homesteaders did it. I could never have put a plow to this.

North American Moose (Alces alces) bull on the trail of a cow during the breeding season or "rut" in the mountain forests of Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada.

The occurrence was just before the twilight period under heavy cloud cover so light was at a premium.

and "Can I take it home?"

I thought this was so funny - usually it's small things people pick up, but this kid picked a huge branch to take for a walk along the beach :-D

Taken at Himatangi beach, NZ. You can just see Mt Taranaki (one of our volcanoes) on the horizon in the middle. It's on land a long way north of us - the coast gradually curves around to that point.

(More of my beach pics on flickr :-))

Powderham Castle

'Powderham Castle is located in a unique, picturesque setting just outside Exeter, beside the Exe estuary. Six hundred years of history are contained within the walls of one of England's oldest family homes. Sir Philip Courtenay began building it in 1391 and it has remained in the same family to this day, currently home to the 18th Earl & Countess of Devon'..
