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.
Just outside my window. One of my daily visitors.
Happy Sunday everyone. Thank you for you visits and kind comments, they are very much appreciated-:)
Here’s another photo from the amazing PhotoWalk in Paris. This was supposed to be the end of the walk, but it ended up being the halfway point!
In post-processing this one, I made the Louvre feel a little more warm and inviting, while the outside stayed a bit more cold and foreboding. I edited this one in front of a live class in Christchuch… I hope people enjoyed that bit ! :) Not all of my edits were successful that day, but I think this one turned out alright.

BEST VIEWED LARGE IF POSSIBLE!!
This is Whitstable on the North Kent coastline , taken late evening, went with a close friend of mine and fellow flickrette Jan (jankmarshall) we both had a great time the subjects were fabulous!
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.
Hello good morning friends !!
One day I was watching birds at Field ,Suddenly my eyes were on the squirrel . At first I thought that maybe get hurt or sick.I wanted to see it go, it was looking a little eye-opening to me and suddenly ran away . Probably ate too much or day dreaming about nuts because there a cake shop very close.. Lol !!!!
Thanks very much for wonderful comments on previous captures !! Have a happy new week ahead to all lovely friends !!!

Inspired by Holly Skye's "Change Project". If you can, you should join and add your message to the growing number. It's an excellent project and so far there is some really amazing talent.
What would you change if you could could? I've been thinking of this question lately and I don't know if there is a whole lot that I would change. I'm pretty happy with the way things are going and although some extra money would be nice here and there, I'm pretty much solid just sitting in the grass outside my house.
In terms of what I would change for the world? Clearly we're not at a place where everyone in our society feels equal, we need to change that. We need to make sure that everyone is taken care of. That we all have food, and water and can be taken care of when in pain. We need to make sure that everyone has access to an education so that the young minds that will take our place will be able to move towards these goals as well....what would you change?

At the bottom of Canada's Niagara Falls, the water roars down so hard that it creates mist that rises up into the sky and rains down on the onlookers.
Curve-billed Thrasher
(Toxostoma curvirostre)
From the Arizona Naturalists:
This is one of the most accomplished singers amongst Sonoran Desert songbirds. The heavy curved beak is used to catch insects and small lizards. Thrashers come to feeders for seeds and consume a lot of fruit such as wolfberries and saguaros. They also use their strong, curved bills to turn over soil and leaves in order to probe for small animals such as lizards, spiders and grubs to eat. The yellow eyes are distinctive.
Year-round Resident - No Migration
For the last few weeks the weather has been horrible... But the sun finally decide to greet us today.
You could feel that everybody was in a different mood today, many have been longing for the sun, now most wanted to be off duty as quickly as possible and enjoy themselves in the bright sun.
Later in the day, when most where getting off duty, you could feel something changing. Suddenly I could hear music in the distance, after some investigation I noticed that one of the radiomen had took his violin and started to play, standing above the trench, it was his podium. And his audience was gathering in the trench, some even started to hum along.
I after listing for a while I decided to go on a walk to see what the rest of the men where up to on this mighty fine day, if I may say myself.
I hope you guys like it!
Willow Flats is the broad expanse that lies to the east of Jackson Lake in Grand Teton National Park.
This is a handheld shot (taken with a Nikon D80 and a Nikkor 18-200mm VR lens) from just outside Jackson Lake Lodge as the sun began to illuminate the Tetons.....
“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 Moonlight Pavilion, where the king invite his guests for dinner.
The Preah Thineang Chan Chhaya (Khmer: ព្រះទីន័ងច័ន្ទឆាយា) or "Moonlight Pavilion", is an open-air pavilion that serves as stage for Khmer classical dance in the past and present.
It is one of the most notable buildings of the palace as it easily seen from the outside as it was built alongside a section of the palace walls. The Chan Chhaya Pavilion has a balcony that was used as a platform for viewing parades marching along Sothearos Boulevard of Phnom Penh. The current Pavilion is the second incarnation of the Chanchhaya Pavilion, this one constructed in 1913–14 under King Sisowath to replace the earlier wooden pavilion built under King Norodom.
The current pavilion is of a similar design as the earlier version. The Chanchhaya Pavilion dominates the facade of the Palace on Sothearos Blvd. The Pavilion serves as a venue for the Royal Dancers, as a tribune for the King to address the crowds and as a place to hold state and Royal banquets. Most recently, the Pavilion was used for a banquet and a tribune for the new King at the 2004 coronation of King Norodom Sihamoni.

Backlighting highlights the reeds in the bog really nicely at sunset.
Thanks for viewing my photo, comments are always welcome and appreciated.
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.

Holy Cross Church has been the hub of the Christian faith in Binstead for at least 1000 years; a place where many local people have worshipped, prayed, been baptized, married and buried through the ages. It holds and keeps alive the social memory of the parish.
I love getting out to shoot after a long nights rain, as the air is so clear and the morning light is reflected so nicely. While this looks like a meandering river, it's actually a portion of Idaho's Lake Cascade at end of year. As you can see below it looks quite different in the spring.
Migrating birds love this area. The small ripples are caused by small ducks. They were everywhere.
The week is half over. Hope it's going well for you.
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.
I finally made it during Autumn to the Fairy Glen. I've been here many times but usually miss the lovely autumn colours. I used a Polarizer with this shot.

São Vicente de Fora Church and Monastery
-
We see : São Vicente de Fora Church
In the 12th century King Afonso Henriques made a vow to build churches on sites where Portuguese soldiers and northern European crusaders who fought the Moors lay buried. Today's São Vicente de Fora Church, built in 1582, stands on the site of one of those churches, which was located outside the city walls (hence the name "De Fora" meaning "on the outside").
It was inaugurated in 1629 but was severely damaged in the 1755 earthquake, when the main dome and roof collapsed. It was then restored, and in 1855 the old monastic refectory became the pantheon of the Bragança dynasty including Catherine of Bragança, a Portuguese princess who became the Queen of England when she married Charles II, and where lay the bodies of all kings from 1640 to 1910.

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.

In September 2015, I was scouting out and photographing numerous sites around Lake Tahoe, California and many sites in the Eastern Sierras for a short 5 days.
One the night of September 17, I took the Bonsai Rock Milky Way shot with the moon just above the distant mountain peaks.
The next day we moved down into the Eastern Sierras where I had been planning to photograph the iconic bristlecone pine tree with the Milky Way. Little did I know on the way down how well the moon would come into play with my night sky photography work there.
I used a long established technique to get the moon rays in this shoot while I light painted the bristlecone pine tree with my special light.
In 2017, I will have two 5 day Milky Way photography workshop in Arches National Park in Moab, Utah, one over the 3rd week in March and one over the 3rd week in April.
During each of the two workshops, I will conduct 3 4+ hour Milky Way Photoshop post processing session where I teach all the techniques I used to create this final photo but this time it will be more of what is called a "Deep Dive" PS post processing session and workshop participants will need a laptop with Photoshop CS 2017. Lightroom will work but lacks some functionality used in what I will teach.

My Milky Way night sky photography workshops
In 2017, I will be leading two 4 day photography workshops in Jackson Hole. During both workshops, I will take my group out for 3 nights of my Milky Way night sky workshop.
My 2017 4-5 day photography workshop schedule:
ANP, Canyonlands & Monument Valley - March 24-29
Icons of the Southwest w/Ryan Smith - April 23-28
Jackson Hole, Wyoming spring - June 21-25
Jackson Hole, Wyoming fall - September 19-23
The great part is that in 2017 I will return to Jackson Hole for the incredible wildflowers throughout the valley and the surrounding mountains.

22/52 - Heaven
... For Golden halls. One day we will walk through fields of memories...
That is always how I envision Heaven… in addition to being able to leap and bound over mountains and waterfalls, I envision being able to look back on any moment in life as a photo or instant playback :P Gosh it will be such a beautiful place :)
As you can see I am loving being able to shoot outside again! Many thanks to my mom for allowing me to take out all our family portraits to a field and then hiking a couple miles in the process while carrying lots of stuff in the chilly part of evening… her expression at the end made my whole week: while huffing and puffing she goes “So NOW I understand what you mean when you say you’re ‘going to do a photoshoot’ that was… an experience” HAHA! Anyhow, semesters almost over, then I’ll be back to lots of shooting and posting!
There is a story in every photo I take.You may not always know it but it makes me remember the times when my kids needed me the most. Like the story of this one. My youngest was not happy at home and we didn't know what was wrong. So I took him outside. We chased the cat on the street, then we watched the rabbits in the fields and just when we where ready to go back home I took a quick glance over my shoulder and saw someone set a fire because there was smoke in the air. It made the sun light look a little unreal and magical. I put my boy in the place I thought would look good on the photo and showed him that he could pick poppies. He got busy and I could take a quick step back to take a few shots until he got bored with that.

And people say Saskatchewan has nothing but Wheat Fields!!
Along a long dirt road just outside of Craven, Saskatchewan you will find this amazing little Church. The door is left open with no one to guard, it offers absolute peace.
Here you see why the Heron was guarding its domain with such ferocity. Within minutes of chasing away the anhinga, the heron lunged out of the tree it was sitting in, beat its extended wings thrice and plunged into the water - spearing the prize displayed here.
A few flips and turns and the prize slid down the throat - some other photos of this series are included in the comments below.
