This was the best sunrise we experienced on our visit to Kauaʻi. This was seen right outside the door of our Airbnb condo just south of Kapaʻa at Islander on the Beach. It was surprisingly affordable for such a killer view, our favorite accommodations of the trip! Oh and it's easy to make sunrise on Kauaʻi thanks to all those chickens waking up and crowing about it before dawn! ;-)))
Greenway Quay on the river Dart in South Devon, as viewed from Dittisham. There's a ferry across, just ring the bell outside the pub and it will come across for you!
Budva, Montenegro, late afternoon light in autumn, taken from an abandoned nightclub along the coastal road, the beach outside the left side of the frame is filled with concrete hotels, but the old city is still charming and photogenic.
What might possibly be the only aerial of what might also be one of the last trains to traverse this massive structure in Kegley, WV. On October 1, 2015 Norfolk Southern abandoned the line that stretched from Elmore, WV to Princeton, WV due to the severe decline in coal.

Managed to get a lot of work done today and still found time to go for a two hour walk this evening and take advantage of the beautiful weather we had today.
It's nice being able to go outside without a jacket and to be out for long periods of time. I do miss this nice weather when winter is around, so I have my fingers crossed that spring is actually here to stay!
Hope everyone has had a good day.

This Fieldfare was one of a flock I found the other week at RSPB Saltholme. They were constantly flying from one tree to another as people were walking past them. This one lingered for a few more seconds before flying off to join the others.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fav my images.
An ocean, a lake I need a place to drown
Let's freeze the moment because we're going down
Tomorrow you'll be gone, gone, gone
You're laughing too hard this all seems surreal
I feel peculiar now what do you feel
Do you think there's a chance that we can fall
You don't know, you don't know
You don't know anything about me
What do I know, I know your name
You don't know, you don't know
You don't know anything about me anymore
I gave up dreaming for a while
I gave up dreaming for a while
I've noticed these are mysterious days
I look at it and like a jigsaw puzzle and gaze
With wide open mouth and burning eyes
If only I could start to care
My dreams and my Wednesdays ain't going nowhere
Baby, baby, baby you don't know
Milow- You don´t know
How can I ever try to be better? Nobody ever lets me in. I can still see you. This ain't the best view on the outside looking in. I've been a lot of lonely places. I've never been on the outside.
Taylor, thank you for telling the stories of our lives.

It was still very early in the morning when I found two young roe deer bucks at the Veluwwezoom last week. I had switched off the car and let it roll downhill, so they hadn't noticed me at all and went on with what they were doing: Playing!!!
It was such a delight to watch.. They were chasing each other with amazing speed through the dry heather bushes. They obviously had such fun and I swear I saw a smile on this one's face! :-)

The Kootenai River on the Edge of the Kootenai Wildlife Refuge just outside of Bonners Ferry, Idaho. The day had just a few hours of sunshine and Laurie and I got up there quick enough to catch a number of shots before the clouds rolled in bringing combinations of rain, snow, and hail (a typical North Idaho spring day.) The river was amazingly still, which made for some incredible reflections.

Tobermory is located at the top of the Bruce Peninsula. It is almost surrounded by water - Lake Huron on one side and Georgian Bay on the other. It is a naturalist haven, having 2 national parks - Fathom Five National Marine Park and the Bruce Peninsula National Park - close by.
Usually I visit this gorgeous peninsula once a year, early fall, when there are not too many visitors.
It has been raining a lot recently, so I'm pulling out photos from my archives.
I got a late start leaving New Orleans on December 20th and it was already night when I decided to route myself to Route 66. Because it barely registers on a map in many places, setting a location along the Route 66 proved challenging. I wanted to try and cut diagonally without really knowing how.I set Hydro, Oklahoma as my point to enter Route 66 and set Gun Barrel City, Texas as the city we'd sleep in. I chose both places because of their amazing names.
Because we left late in the afternoon, I drove through Louisiana in the dark and didn't cross into (Waskom) Texas until nearly midnight. Scotch and I arrived at the hotel around 4am and switched rooms twice due to fleas. We couldn't get out of there fast enough. It was pretty overcast when we left and I was thrilled because I thought it would be a great day to take advantage of the kinda boring Texas scenery by shooting some very long exposure shots with the 10 stop filter.
Then it got windy. This shot was taken about 5miles from the hotel and from here on out, the weather progressed from windy and very overcast to bad and finally terrible. Winds hovered in the 20-40mph range through Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada before stopping about an hour away from our destination in Hollywood, CA. During this time, we saw freezing temps, giant storms moving across the landscape, very difficult winds and some blustering snow that finally forced us off the road near Gallup, New Mexico. I wasn't able to take a single long exposure photo the entire rest of the trip as the wind never allowed it. This was most disappointed for me while visiting the Petrified Forest In Arizona in mid 30's temperatures and wind gusts in the 30mph range. Saw some of the very best landscapes and skies I might ever see but had no way to really shoot how I wanted.
Scotch wasn't too happy (but was very comfortable) for most of the trip after leaving New Orleans. He'd tap the window, i'd open it, he'd try to stick his head out and then give up. It seemed to mark the end of our 12 years of mutually enjoyed roadtrips. Taking a 12 year old dog on a 4,000 mile 10+ day journey from coast to coast wasn't all that easy, but it was definitely an amazing experience I waited too long to have.

One last image from last weekend's adventure at our local National Park. This long exposure from Valley View was the last image I shot last Saturday. It was bitter cold, but the company of other photographers was nice and warm. Good conversations and camaraderie as night set in, as the stars, cars, fog and clouds moved about.
... it's time to enjoy some days off from work !:-))

The full moon for the month of May is called the Flower Moon by the Algonquin people, and was also known as the Corn Planting Moon (what I'm doing right now in the garden), and the Milk Moon. Here, morning light shows off the contours of the southern Indian Peaks Wilderness as the moon sets behind the Front Range just outside of Gold Hill, Colorado.
This is a stitch of 3 horizontal images. Thanks for your visit and comments!
well I couldn't quite get the Cormorant in focus.. but I like the Composition.. wish you all a great Thursday..

Just take a deep breath and relax!!
Thanks for taking a look!!!!!! Have a wonderful evening!!!!
Minnehaha Falls is a succession of tiers that cascade down a relatively steep rock face. In low water, like the conditions at the fall recently, these tiers separate into distinct streams. I bet the falls is pretty impressive in high water, when the whole face of the falls is covered in water! Even though I took this a few weeks ago, there were some freshly-fallen yellow leaves on the rock. I'm heading out this weekend to Black Balsam Knob, then Great Smoky Mountains NP, to hopefully catch some fall color at higher elevations. Should be a good time!
Minnehaha Falls is outside of Tallaluh Gorge, and isn't too hard to reach from the main town - especially if you're coming from Atlanta.

Le Mont-Saint-Michel est une commune française située dans le département de la Manche et la région Basse-Normandie qui tire son nom d’un îlot rocheux consacré à saint Michel où s’élève aujourd’hui l’abbaye du Mont-Saint-Michel.
L’architecture du Mont-Saint-Michel et sa baie en font le site touristique le plus fréquenté de Normandie et le troisième de France (après l'Île-de-France) avec plus de 3 000 000 de visiteurs chaque année (3 250 000 en 2006). Une statue de saint Michel placée au sommet de l’église abbatiale culmine à 170 mètres au-dessus du rivage. Élément majeur, l'abbaye et ses dépendances sont classées au titre des monuments historiques par la liste de 1862 (60 autres constructions étant protégées par la suite) ; la commune et la baie figurant depuis 1979 sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO.
En 2010, la commune comptait 43 habitants, appelés les Montois.

The island has held strategic fortifications since ancient times, and since the eighth century AD has been the seat of the monastery from which it draws its name. The structural composition of the town exemplifies the feudal society that constructed it. On top God, the abbey and monastery, below this the Great halls, then stores and housing, and at the bottom, outside the walls, fishermen and farmers' housing.
One of France's most recognisable landmarks, Mont Saint-Michel and its bay are part of the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites and more than 3 million people visit it each year.

Finger Lakes, NY
On Christmas Day, 2012, I pit-stopped outside of Ithaca, NY, on my way between families. A little snow had gathered on any surface that would hold it, putting the cliffs of the headwall into something like a bas-relief. I retreated from a closer view where the mist shifted intermittently to coat everything in tiny cold droplets, but even here, farther downstream, cold air seemed to pulse from the cataract, turning the ampitheater into a big refrigerator. The hanging valley here creates a 215 ft drop that is actually higher than Niagara Falls. This is a composite of three exposures rendered in HDR (Photomatix Pro 5).
or "the headless" hermit
St. Miniato or Minas (Armenian: Մինաս) was an Armenian prince serving in the Roman army under Emperor Decius. He was denounced as a Christian after becoming a hermit and was brought before the Emperor who was camped outside the gates of Florence. The Emperor ordered him to be thrown to beasts in the Amphitheatre where a panther was called upon him but refused to devour him. Beheaded in the presence of the Emperor, he is alleged to have picked up his head, crossed the Arno and walked up the hill of Mons Fiorentinus to his hermitage. A shrine was later erected at this spot and there was a chapel there by the 8th century.
