Sometimes life is so grand, mysterious and overpowering, that it takes one's breath away.
like this morning!
wow! am i ever glad i got up early and followed the call to get outside!
i took this on higby road in waverly.
Yesterday I took this picture of our dog Moos. It surprises me all the time that he still behaves like a young puppy when he is almost 11 years old! Sometimes he has some trouble with climbing the stairs or standing up after he had lay down for a while and his eyes don't see as much as they did a few years ago but when he is outside the only thing he does is running, jumping and barking just like a young one:)
Happy Furry Friday Everyone!
Abbott Lake, Peaks Of Otter
Just take a deep breath and relax!!
Thanks for taking a look!!!!!! Have a wonderful evening!!!!
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.

For this image, I went with a portrait orientation as I felt it best captured just how tall and big a saguaro cactus could be. With the blue skies and wisps of clouds above, I found them a nice compliment as a backdrop and color contrast.

Thanks for your support, will try to catch up, slooowly!
County Fermanagh is known as Northern Irelands lake district . The 70 km of lakes situated in the county are linked to the Shannon system in the Irish Republic via the Shannon-Erne Waterway Canal, making the entire system the longest navigable inland waterway in Europe.( Wiki)

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).
We had a marvellous electric show this morning around Cape Town. This was taken from inside my car with the camera balanced on the camera bag, with the wind blowing and the occassional squall of rain coming through. It wasn't the best conditions to shoot, hence the movement in the image.

Spencer returns from a long absence! We have very few swans here in San Diego California, believe or not so they are a rare and wonderful sight. They live in a lake surrounded by beautiful homes and when they need help the people step in.
Many of you heard of the wildfires that raged through San Diego about a year ago. It was in Spencer's neighborhood and fairly far away from me. All I could think of was Spencer, but knew that his caretakers would protect him as best they could.
In a recent visit, he was his usual friendly self. For more Spencer stories, some real and some not so real, you can find him in his own album.

House Finch
From Cornell:
The House Finch is a recent introduction from western into eastern North America (and Hawaii), but it has received a warmer reception than other arrivals like the European Starling and House Sparrow. That’s partly due to the cheerful red head and breast of males, and to the bird’s long, twittering song, which can now be heard in most of the neighborhoods of the continent. If you haven’t seen one recently, chances are you can find one at the next bird feeder you come across.
Appearence
House Finches are small-bodied finches with fairly large beaks and somewhat long, flat heads. The wings are short, making the tail seem long by comparison. Many finches have distinctly notched tails, but the House Finch has a relatively shallow notch in its tail.
Color Pattern
Adult males are rosy red around the face and upper breast, with streaky brown back, belly and tail. In flight, the red rump is conspicuous. Adult females aren’t red; they are plain grayish-brown with thick, blurry streaks and an indistinctly marked face.
Behavior
House Finches are gregarious birds that collect at feeders or perch high in nearby trees. When they’re not at feeders, they feed on the ground, on weed stalks, or in trees. They move fairly slowly and sit still as they shell seeds by crushing them with rapid bites. Flight is bouncy, like many finches.
Habitat
House Finches frequent city parks, backyards, urban centers, farms, and forest edges across the continent. In the western U.S., you’ll also find House Finches in their native habitats of deserts, grassland, chaparral, and open woods.
Photographers Recommendation at PDBG - Go to the Family Contemplation area - sit quietly on the ground with camera ready - the birds will come to you at the water fixtures.
Resumir Cuenca en unas pocas líneas no sólo es tarea baladí, sino casi un sacrilegio, ya que por los huecos de la estrechez perderíamos siempre algo valioso, algo importante. Cuenca es ciudad para reposar, no de visita apresurada. Una ciudad para ver por dentro, paseando sus calles, entrando en sus rincones monumentales; y contemplar desde fuera, desde el otro lado del Júcar; para ver bañada por el sol o iluminada por la noche. Para ver las construcciones del hombre y las de la naturaleza. Para descubrir escondidos secretos de callejones fachadas y callejuelas, o para que invada la imponencia de su catedral, o sumergirse de lleno en la envoltura de monumentos de la Plaza Mayor; para la historia del arte o el arte abstracto contemporáneo.
La ciudad que se asoma al Júcar colgada desde la pared que la sustenta, es, merecidamente, Patrimonio de la Humanidad e invita desde su percha a transitarla con calma, degustarla y llevársela prendida. Cuenca es la ciudad que no se resume, nos resume ella y nos hace vulnerables ante su esplendor y su belleza.
Cuenca summarize in a few lines is not only trivial task, but almost sacrilegious because through the holes of the narrowness always lose something valuable, something important. Cuenca is a city to rest, not hasty visit. A city to see inside, walking the streets, entering his monumental corners; and look from outside, from the other side of the Júcar; to see bathed in sunshine or illuminated at night. To see the constructions of man and nature. To discover hidden secrets of facades alleys and lanes, or to invade its imposing cathedral, or being immersed in the envelope of monuments Plaza Mayor; for the history of contemporary art or abstract art.
The city overlooking the Júcar hanging from the wall that supports it, is deservedly a World Heritage Site and invites from his perch to journey it calmly, taste it and take her pinned. Cuenca is the city that is not summed up, she sums up and makes us vulnerable to its splendor and beauty.

Made on July, 4th / 2013, on the behalf of the Quebec breeding bird survey, to the north of the Reservoir Gouin, Quebec.
“Veil after veil of thin dusky gauze is lifted, and by degrees the forms and colours of things are restored to them, and we watch the dawn remaking the world in its antique pattern.” ~Oscar Wilde
When I woke up this morning it was still dark outside. Unable to sleep and not wanting to disturb the sleeping husband and pup, I decided to go out for coffee. Realizing sunrise was less than an hour away I took my coffee and camera to the Tacoma Narrows bridges. I love watching the morning progress, from darkness to day, quiet and cold, to bustling and bright. The quote from Wilde is perfect: it feels like watching the restoration of the world around you as all things regain their visible forms.

Northern Harrier Hawk
We were enjoying our lunch when this Northern Harrier came and perched right in front of us and posed for a few photos. After watching for a minute or two, she flew away looking for a mouse.

The Palace of Fine Arts has many Black Crowned Night Herons dotting the trees and landscape. They sometimes come out and sit in a perfect location, like this one, right in the middle of a blooming bush in the bright sunlight. Australian eucalyptus trees fringe the eastern shore of the lagoon. Many forms of wildlife have made their home there including swans, ducks (particularly migrating fowl), geese, turtles, frogs, and raccoons.
Wikipedia: The ruins of Brahehus Castle are situated outside Gränna in Jönköping County in the province of Småland, Sweden. From the ruins you have a fantastic view of lake Vättern and the island of Visingsö. Built for Count Per Brahe the Younger in the 1640s, the castle is now close to the E4 highway.
At first it looks as though this Green Heron has perched itself on a "Live Wire" (A wire carrying electric current), but thank goodness for the little "Greenie" the look just comes from a little morning Preening.
I don't normally post too many photos of birds on power lines but don't think I have ever seen a Green Heron perch on one. Maybe a common thing just never seen it before.
I found this one at Lake Marian. Osceola County, Florida.
Draußen schneit es hier. Es gibt ja auch Winterfans und die wird es freuen. Ich gucke nicht raus, sondern lieber Frühlingsboten drinnen an.
It's snowing outside here. All winter fans will be pleased. I don't look outside, I look at signs of spring inside.

Dear friends
I am feeling more positive today and in less pain and wanted to share with you a picture taken in my garden and a poem I wrote conveying the hope I feel. Many thanks to everyone for your wonderful heart-warming good wishes, messages and prayers. I have been overwhelmed by your encouragement, support and friendship. I wish you all a beautiful week.
Love and hugs xo
“I guess it's human nature to question yourself, to question why all the pain has had to happen? sometimes there isn't any answers it just is what it is and how we make ourselves feel and see through that, is what will determine how we move forward.”

AS I LAY ME DOWN by SOPHIE B. HAWKINS
I'LL LEARN TO BEND WITH PASSING WINDS
Standing in my garden
I can't do very much
I don't know all the names of things
so I call them such and such
the weeds are taking over
the lawns they look like meadows
but to me it is so beautiful
as I listen to Summer's echoes
I'm trying to find a gardener
to do the things I can't
but to me the garden's beating heart
drums out “give me a chance”
It never was a pristine lawn
living on the Marsh
this year I counted eight new orchids
naturalised in the grass
the fruit trees bear the sweetest fruit
this year in such abundance
the tall trees whisper “let us be,
let nature give you guidance”
I sit and listen; drink it in
this haven, now neglected
is showing me it's strength and will
against the odds; respected
we can learn a lot from nature
that bends with every wind
it withstands drought and floods
and snow that challenge every limb
I am in awe amid this Eden
and see that there's no need
for me to worry about it's future
or the scattering of seed
It knows instinctively what to do
It doesn't need direction
It offers me tranquility
the sun warms me with affection
It shows me I can be as strong
and withstand anything
I'll learn to bend with passing winds
accept life's offerings
the smallest dragonfly I've ever seen
just landed in my hedge
I take a shot; my arms are weak
they hurt when I outstretch
but I count myself so fortunate
to be surrounded by such beauty
yes, life is good and I'm alive
so I feel blessed, absolutely.

Have followed these Mute Swans and their Cygnet since they were tiny. While trying out some setting on my camera I was pleased when the Cygnet posed for me. Not sure if I got the colour quite right, but hope to learn more about my camera and improve.
